Chapter 448 Protect Xin'er
Xu Tian turned his back to Chen Xiner and Chen Yu and said in a firm tone: "Chen Yu, Xiner is your lady, you have the obligation to protect her. This is your promise to her. As a man, I hope you will keep your word." There was a hint of unquestionable tone in his voice, as if at this critical moment of life and death, he would use his own strength to fight for a glimmer of hope for Chen Xiner and Chen Yu, while also reminding Chen Yu of the responsibility he shouldered.
Chen Yu was about to say something, wanting to stay and fight alongside Xu Tian, but when he saw Xu Tian's determined eyes, he seemed to understand Xu Tian's resolve. A hint of struggle and reluctance flashed through his eyes, but in the end, he said to Xu Tian, "Brother Xu, don't worry. I won't let Xin'er get hurt." His voice was trembling, but it was filled with determination. He knew Xu Tian was risking his life to buy them time, and he couldn't let Xu Tian down.
Xu Tian turned his head slightly upon hearing Chen Yu's words, a relieved smile on his face. Though there was a hint of fatigue in that smile, it was filled with trust and relief. He knew Chen Yu would protect Chen Xin'er, and this comforted him somewhat in this dangerous situation.
Chen Yu nodded firmly, then took Chen Xin'er's hand and prepared to leave. But Chen Xin'er refused to leave, tears welling in her eyes. She struggled, saying, "The three of us came to Lingyuan City together, intending to wait for Lin Feng. But before he even arrived, this happened. How could I leave Xu Tian alone?" Her voice was filled with pain and reluctance. Her body struggled desperately, trying to break free of Chen Yu's hand and return to Xu Tian's side. In her heart, the three of them were one, inseparable. She couldn't imagine life without Xu Tian, nor could she accept leaving him like this.
Ding Mojin was furious when he saw Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu about to leave. He immediately called Li Mo and Li Zhi, shouting, "Come together! We can't let them get away!" His voice was filled with anger and anxiety. He couldn't tolerate Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu escaping right under his nose. His eyes revealed a frenzy and determination, as if at this moment, catching Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu had become the most important thing in his life.
Xu Tian's eyes flickered with determination as he witnessed this. He took a deep breath, and his aura began to surge wildly. A powerful aura burst forth from his body, nearly reaching the realm of a Half-Step Grandmaster. His hair fluttered in the breeze, caressed by this powerful aura. His eyes revealed a fearlessness and determination. Without hesitation, he charged towards Ding Mojin, Li Mo, and Li Zhi, who were about to attack, and with this overwhelming force, he stopped them.
As Chen Xin'er struggled, she suddenly noticed purple lines appearing on Xu Tian's neck. These lines shimmered eerily under the light, as if imbued with some mysterious power. She was startled, knowing that Xu Tian was determined to die, willing to sacrifice his own life for their safety. She hesitated even more, unable to bear to leave Xu Tian alone to face danger.
As Chen Xiner hesitated, Chen Yu became extremely anxious. He knew that if this continued, neither of them would be able to escape. So, he gritted his teeth, suddenly picked up Chen Xiner, and rushed towards the window of Tingya Building without hesitation. With a "crash," the sound of shattering glass rang out, and Chen Yu, holding Chen Xiner, jumped from the broken window on the fifth floor. The moment he landed, he used his agility to keep his footing firmly, and immediately ran away with Chen Xiner.
All the Grandmasters had been stopped by Xu Tian. Seeing Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu escape, Ding Wenxuan was furious. He immediately called out to the remaining Half-Step Grandmasters, shouting, "Chase them! We can't let them get away!" His eyes revealed a hint of viciousness and unwillingness. He couldn't tolerate Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu escaping like this. His voice was filled with anger and anxiety, like an enraged beast.
Seeing the Half-Step Grandmasters chasing Chen Xiner and Chen Yu, Xu Tian's eyes flashed with anger. He roared, and a powerful surge of energy erupted from his body, sweeping directly towards the Half-Step Grandmasters. Faced with this powerful energy, the Half-Step Grandmasters had no power to resist and were instantly blown away. Even Ding Mojin, Li Mo, and Li Zhi were affected by this energy and involuntarily took a few steps back.
However, it wasn't long before Ding Mojin and the other two regained their composure. They exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a hint of determination and resolve. They lunged at Xu Tian again, engaging him in a struggle. Though exhausted, Xu Tian still fought tenaciously, his eyes revealing an unyielding and resolute spirit, as if, even in this desperate situation, he was determined to buy more time for Chen Xiner and Chen Yu.
Ding Moxiu's arrival intensified the battle, creating a difficult situation of four against one. Although Xu Tian was in dire straits, his aura continued to rise, as if a mysterious power was awakening. The purple lines on his neck, like eerie little snakes, slowly spread out, emitting a chilling aura.
Xu Tian faced the siege of Ding Mojin, Ding Moxiu, Li Mo, and Li Zhi alone, his figure aloof yet resolute amidst the slashing swords. Sweat soaked his clothes, clinging to his muscular frame. Wisps of hair, damp with sweat, lay messily plastered to his cheeks. But his eyes held a fierce determination, his gaze fixed intently on the enemy before him. His fists clenched, each swing creating a whirring sound. Blood oozed from his wounds, staining his clothes red, but he remained oblivious, his heart focused on a single goal: to seek justice for General Li Hua and to ensure the safe escape of Chen Xiner and Chen Yu.
The Half-Step Grandmasters who had been sent flying by Xu Tian scrambled to their feet. Their faces still held expressions of fear and pain, some with blood at the corners of their mouths, others with arms drooping limply. But at Ding Wenxuan's urging, they ignored the pain and gritted their teeth, hastily chasing after Chen Yu and Chen Xin'er. Their figures appeared flustered in the night, their steps stumbling but not pausing for a moment, as if pursued by an evil spirit.
