Just then, a dagger lunged forward.
As Yu Daohun turned, his head instinctively tilted to the left.
*Swish!*
The dagger grazed his cheek, slicing through the skin.
Blood welled up, and Yu Daohun broke out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding furiously.
It was fortunate he reacted so quickly, otherwise, that dagger would have struck his head directly.
Yu Daohun had no time to calm himself as he looked at the figure before him.
The newcomer's face was sinister as he sized Yu Daohun up, "Is this the prodigy of our generation?"
"He doesn't seem like much."
Who was this person?
Yu Daohun instinctively reached for his Kang Long Rod, his body involuntarily retreating.
The man looked at Yu Daohun with utter arrogance, laughing heartily, "Listen, I am the son of the Li family patriarch, Li Tianjiao, and I will soon be the man who slays the prodigy of this era."
Without a word, Yu Daohun turned and fled.
What nonsense about Li Tianjiao! Just wait until I recover my memory.
You'll be the first one I butcher!
Seeing Yu Daohun flee, Li Tianjiao didn't rush to pursue. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled upwards.
Yu Daohun paid no mind to his words and charged straight ahead.
But suddenly, two figures emerged from the sides.
Yu Daohun was forced to stop, his expression instantly turning grim.
He saw that the two individuals had a black and a white butterfly suspended in their hands.
"Sect Master, your disciples are here to assist you."
Suddenly, two disciples burst forth, drawing their swords and slashing at the two.
The young man on the right smirked, shaking his head dismissively, and said to the young man beside him, "Brother, leave this trash to you."
The young man on the left retorted with some displeasure, "Why should I? I wouldn't deign to deal with such trash myself."
Hearing this, the young man on the right pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, we'll both handle it."
The young man on the left nodded in agreement, "That's a good suggestion."
Just then, the two disciples from the Yan Huo Sect had already arrived, raising their long swords and hacking at the pair.
The two simultaneously struck out with their palms.
*Bang!*
The chests of the two Yan Huo Sect disciples were instantly pierced.
They collapsed on the spot, dead.
Yu Daohun's face was filled with shock at the sight, and he was deeply wary of the strength of these two.
He could barely discern their movements.
With just one palm strike, they had instantly killed two disciples.
Where had these experts come from?
On the city wall, Yu Shuntian's brows furrowed as he looked at the three figures who had suddenly appeared, "The younger generation from the Chen and Li families?"
Huang Yong was also slightly taken aback to see that the two still had backup plans.
He hadn't expected these two old foxes to have hidden cards.
He knew the three below all too well.
Li Tianjiao, the pride of the Li family's younger generation, whose talent was not much weaker than those three little monsters from the three major sects, and was also being heavily groomed by Li Wangsheng as the future successor of the Li family.
The other two were Chen Tie and Chen Shan from the Chen family.
The strength of these two was not to be underestimated; their current power likely already reached the level of the Heaven Ranking.
Chen Shanhe had also mentioned that one of these two was the future successor of the Chen family.
However, given Chen Shanhe's cautious nature of always holding something back, it was still uncertain whether it was either of them.
Li Wangsheng looked at Chen Guojun beside him and said with a smile, "Senior Chen, you are as good as your word."
Chen Guojun chuckled with his old face, "Patriarch Li also keeps his promises."
Chen Shanhe, standing nearby, looked at Chen Tie and Chen Shan below with surprise, "Father, why are Tie'er and Shan'er down there? They are..."
Before Chen Shanhe could finish speaking, Chen Guojun interrupted him, "Yu Daohun is a great tribulation for the Chen family. Even if two more grandsons die, it would be worth it."
"But they are..." Chen Shanhe said, his face filled with anxiety.
"Silence!"
Chen Guojun glared fiercely at Chen Shanhe, then turned to Yu Shuntian, smiling without warmth, "Since we elders cannot act, surely the younger ones acting doesn't violate the rules? You won't break your own rules, will you?"
Yu Shuntian knew that Chen Guojun was deliberately testing him, and he immediately replied, "I, Yu Shuntian, keep my word. Besides, are you so confident?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Guojun's brows furrowed, and he began to mutter to himself.
Could this old fox have some other trump card? But after much thought, he felt it was unlikely.
All the top experts Yu Daohun could summon were already below.
He didn't believe Yu Shuntian had any more tricks up his sleeve.
Wait!
Could it be... Yu...?
Chen Guojun suddenly thought of something, then shook his head.
Impossible. How old is that little girl Yu?
How could she be this old fox's trump card?
Yu Shuntian smiled faintly and said, "You should have thought of who that person is."
"No, that's impossible."
Chen Guojun simply refused to believe that the little girl Yu Daohun had given birth to was the trump card.
How old was she!
Moreover, even if she did come, she would only be courting death.
Let alone Li Tianjiao of the Li family, even his own grandsons Tie'er and Shan'er were enough to deal with Yu Daohun and his daughter a hundred times over.
No, a thousand times over.
Yu Shuntian simply smiled and said nothing, raising his teacup for a sip.
The show had just begun!
This old fox didn't seem to be putting on an act.
Chen Guojun had known Yu Shuntian for many years; he knew his character all too well.
Whether he was bluffing or truly had a backup plan,
Yu Daohun must die here today!
Immediately, Chen Guojun shouted down, "Tie'er, Shan'er, hurry and kill this brat!"
Huang Yong and Li Wangsheng beside him immediately sensed that something was amiss.
Why had this old fox Chen Guojun suddenly become so anxious?
Below, everyone looked up at the city wall.
Su Lai was already covered in wounds, panting heavily, but he still wanted to go and help Master Yu.
However, after only a few steps, he was blocked by Li Bu and the other.
In his haste to save someone, he was struck by a heavy punch to the chest, sending him staggering back several steps before he could stabilize himself. He spat out a mouthful of blood, barely managing not to fall.
Da Hu wasn't faring any better. His strength was already weaker than Li Fei's.
Being able to protect himself was his limit, let alone rushing to help Master Yu.
But Zhou Jingmin's situation was even worse. The eight of them were locked in a fierce battle.
Whether individually or collectively, their strength was inferior to the opponents.
Zhou Jingmin and Wu Shanping were already heavily wounded, merely struggling to hold on.
As for Zhou Fu, Chen Yan, unable to defeat him, resorted to underhanded tactics.
He called upon over a dozen Chen family disciples to join forces against Zhou Fu.
It was utterly shameless.
Hearing his grandfather's command, Chen Tie and Chen Shan immediately abandoned their intention of toying with Yu Daohun, gathering their strength in their feet, and then charging forward.
Li Tianjiao behind them was no less formidable. He raised his long sword, aiming it at Yu Daohun's neck and slashing.
Yu Daohun looked at the three figures charging at him simultaneously, no longer holding out any hope of survival.
With Chen Tie and Chen Shan in front, and Li Tianjiao behind.
With the three of them attacking at once, evasion was impossible.
And Su Lai and the others were tied up by formidable enemies, unable to offer any assistance.
This was, without a doubt, a certain death situation!
