Chapter 70: Attacks and accidents

In the woods, Shangguan Haitang and Duan Tianya looked at each other in silence.

Duan Tianya didn't want to refuse Shangguan Haitang's request.

Know that the other party is doing it for his own good.

But he was unwilling to disobey Zhu's orders.

After an unknown amount of time, Duan Tianya finally spoke again, his voice slightly low: "Do you know what my godfather is going to do?"

“I can probably guess a little.”

Shangguan Haitang nodded and said without hesitation: "It should be to use Japanese ninjutsu to assassinate a minister!"

Duan Tianya's pupils shrank instantly.

After taking a deep breath, he said solemnly: "If you still recognize me as your big brother, then tell me everything you know!"

Shangguan Haitang looked struggling.

Duan Tianya was one of the people she trusted the most, and if possible, she didn't want to hide her guess.

But, how can she speak based on nothing but conjecture and no evidence?
Should we tell Duan Tianya directly that our adoptive father is very likely colluding with the Japanese?

Shangguan Haitang hesitated for a long time and finally decided to reveal some information in a tactful way.

It won’t be too late to explain it once she finds solid evidence.

"Godfather, he..."

However, just as she opened her mouth, Duan Tianya's expression suddenly changed and he shouted, "Be careful!"

Uh-huh! ~
A masked man in black quickly emerged from the woods.

The speed was so fast that even Duan Tianya found it difficult to catch sight of its figure.

In the blink of an eye, he came behind Shangguan Haitang.

He waved his hand and struck him on the back.

Duan Tianya saw this and was furious.

Roaring angrily, he swung his sword desperately to stop it.

However, I was still a step slow after all.

Bang! ~
Shangguan Haitang was knocked back heavily, and blood spurted out immediately.

When he landed on the ground, he was already dying and fainted.

"kill!"

Duan Tianya, who was almost overwhelmed by anger, still maintained a trace of rationality.

I know that the strength of the person coming is unfathomable.

He did not foolishly check Shangguan Haitang's injuries and leave his back to the enemy.

Instead, he used his strongest sword technique - Killing God with One Strike!
hum! ~
The air vibrated violently.

A sword energy of more than ten feet long appeared above the long sword.

With this strike, Duan Tianya used all his strength and made his strongest strike to date.

Duan Tianya knew very well that if he could not force the enemy to retreat, he and Shangguan Haitang would die here today!
"Ok?"

The man in black let out a cry of surprise, as if he was somewhat surprised that Duan Tianya had such ability.

This sword energy is not purely condensed from true energy.

There are some other things mixed in it.

There seems to be some kind of change.

Even if one is a great master, if he is careless, he will surely die here.

"Your swordsmanship is good, but unfortunately, your skills are not strong enough. You are still too young in front of me!"

The man in black did not choose to dodge the defiant words.

Instead, he threw a punch like lightning, followed by a kick.

boom! ~
Amidst the deafening roar, Duan Tianya's sword energy was completely shattered.

Only a few fluorescent lights were left, illuminating the dark and unruly eyes of the man in black.

With just one punch and one kick, Duan Tianya's strongest sword was defeated.

It can be seen that the strength of the man in black is not at the same level as his!
puff! ~
Duan Tianya looked up to the sky and spat out a large mouthful of blood. He half-knelt on the ground with his sword in hand and spat out a few words through gritted teeth: "Half a step... to Grandmaster!"

He is only at the middle stage of Grandmaster level.

With his excellent swordsmanship and his full effort, he could barely compete with the great master.

However, in front of the Half-Step Grandmaster, he seemed so small and powerless!
Even if you do not care about anything, you will end up being slaughtered at will.

Cough~ cough! ~
Duan Tianya coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, took a deep breath, then stood up slowly but firmly, holding the long sword tightly with both hands again.

So what if I can’t win?
Behind him are his most important relatives. As long as he has a breath left, he will continue to fight!

"At least, we need to buy a little more time..."

Duan Tianya said to himself silently.

Immediately, he rushed out with a knife!
This place is not far from Hulong Villa.

With such a big commotion, it was impossible for Zhuang Nei not to notice it.

If we delay a little longer, an expert will surely arrive.

By then, Shangguan Haitang will be safe.

As for the fact that he might die because of this?

Duan Tianya never considered it.

"Oh, you have some guts. Since you want to die so much, I will help you do so!"

The man in black laughed strangely and looked at Duan Tianya with teasing eyes.

With his fingers slightly bent, terrifying aura condensed instantly.

But just as the energy was about to be released, a roar of anger resounded through the heavens and earth: "Who are you, you scoundrel, that dares to run wild in Hulong Villa? You will be killed!"

Before he finished speaking, a figure approached.

The person who came was Zhu Wusi!
At the same time, a large number of experts were also rushing over.

The man in black looked at Zhu Wusi, his eyes slightly narrowed, and fighting spirit was boiling in his eyes.

But in the end, he didn't do it.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, the figure flashed and sank into the woods, disappearing in an instant.

He only left a sentence in the air: "I have something important to do today. I will come back to teach you the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis the tricks when I am free tomorrow!"

"This Marquis awaits your arrival!"

Zhu Wusi replied coldly.

Then, he said to Duan Tianya and his subordinates who had come rushing over: "Don't chase after the desperate enemy. Haitang's injury is serious."

After saying that, he stretched out his claws, grabbed Shangguan Haitang in his hand, turned around and flew towards the Huolong Villa.

Duan Tianya took a deep breath, endured the severe pain of his internal organs shifting, and tried his best to keep up with Zhu Wusi.

The two returned to Hulong Villa one after the other.

Before Duan Tianya could stand firm, he heard Zhu Wusi utter three words in hatred: "Heart-destroying Palm!"

"what?"

Duan Tianya's face turned pale with horror when he heard this.

This Heart-Destroying Palm is an extremely brutal martial art.

Not only will the victim's heart be broken, but he will also have to endure the pain of a broken heart before dying.

It is extremely cruel and inhumane!
Upon learning that Shangguan Haitang was hit by the Heart-Destroying Palm, Duan Tianya was shocked and angry.

At the same time, a trace of doubt flashed through my mind.

Because the Heart-Destroying Palm is too vicious, its practice has long been strictly prohibited by the righteous martial arts community.

In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, this palm technique only originated from the Qingcheng Sect.

Under the pretext of continuing the unique skills of his ancestors, he is still practicing this palm technique.

But, where could a half-step grandmaster come from in the long-declined Qingcheng Sect?
Its leader, Yu Canghai, is only at the innate realm.

Not only that.

Duan Tianya was also unfamiliar with the black-clothed man's punching and kicking techniques, which did not seem to be martial arts from the Ming Dynasty.

A man who is suspected to be a half-step grandmaster from another country not only appeared near the Hulong Villa.

He also launched a sneak attack on a Xiantian realm master.

This is very strange.

Unfortunately, Shangguan Haitang who was ambushed was only seriously injured.

What’s even more strange is that the Heart-Destroying Palm... Zhu Wusi just happens to know how to resolve it.

Thoughts flashed rapidly through Duan Tianya's mind.

Combined with Shangguan Haitang’s previous performance.

Suddenly, a chill ran through his body, causing him to fall into the ice.
