Chapter 213: Retreat
Chen Xiner saw the figure clearly, a smile of surprise appeared on her face, and she shouted happily: "Lin Feng!"
On the ancient streets bathed in the cold moonlight, Xu Tian, like a god of war, fiercely engaged in a battle with Guan Sheng and his followers. His figure was agile and nimble, and every move carried a fierce aura that seemed to pierce the silent night sky.
Just as the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle, their true energy overflowing, a dark shadow suddenly flew out from the second floor of the inn, as if swept by a strong wind. The figure drew a long parabola in the air, appearing particularly eye-catching in the moonlight, and flew far away before falling heavily to the ground.
Dang Yu and Guan Sheng, caught in the fierce battle, were caught by this sudden change. They looked closely, and when the figure came into clear view, their faces instantly turned pale. The person flying out was none other than their long-reliant leader, Chi Sha. Dang Yu's eyes widened in disbelief, while Guan Sheng's mouth dropped open, as if he was speechless from the shock of the scene.
Xu Tian also witnessed this astonishing scene. A mocking smile slowly emerged on his once stern face. It held a hint of playfulness, as if mocking the henchmen and Guan Sheng for their presumptuousness. He shouted, "Your boss has been defeated, yet you still refuse to surrender?" His voice echoed in the silent night air, carrying an undeniable majesty.
The faces of the Dangyou and Guan Sheng were so gloomy that they seemed to be dripping with water. Their hearts were filled with mixed emotions. They knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable for them, like being stuck in a huge quagmire. If they continued to linger, they would probably find it difficult to escape. The two men exchanged a glance, a flicker of determination in their eyes.
They gritted their teeth and stamped their feet. The zhenqi in their bodies surged out from their dantian like a surging tide. The zhenqi formed a powerful aura around them, swirling and humming like a beast about to awaken. As they moved, the tiles on the ground seemed to be lifted up by an invisible hand, one by one, flying up. The tiles danced in the air, accompanied by a whirring sound, like a swarm of enraged wasps.
Dang Yu and Guan Sheng's faces were filled with ferocious expressions, as they concentrated all their strength on this one move. This move was their desperate move, their escape plan. Dang Yu's eyes were red, like burning flames, and he roared, "Xu Tian, even if we lose today, we will not let you off easily!"
"Go to hell!" The two men shouted simultaneously, unleashing a single blow that condensed their entire strength. The overwhelming force, like a surging ocean wave, swept towards Xu Tian with the power to destroy everything. Xu Tian felt a chill in his heart as he watched the overwhelming force coming towards him.
He knew the power of this move couldn't be underestimated; a single misstep could result in serious injury. He took a deep breath, stomped his foot, and his entire body erupted like a volcano. A dazzling light emanated from him, enveloping him completely as if he were wearing a golden armor.
The two powerful forces collided instantly. At that moment of contact, a deafening roar erupted. It was as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, and the entire earth seemed to tremble.
Then, a powerful shockwave radiated outward from the point of their collision. Wherever it reached, the surrounding houses were easily toppled over as if they were made of paper. Walls collapsed, and roof tiles flew everywhere. The force was so great that it was like countless explosives exploding simultaneously.
The air was thick with smoke, and the thick smoke enveloped the entire street. Xu Tian frowned tightly in the smoke, his eyes fixed on the front, and he was secretly on guard in his heart.
After the smoke gradually dissipated, he found that the party members and Guan Sheng had disappeared. Xu Tian sighed helplessly. He knew that although he was strong enough, if the party members and Guan Sheng were determined to escape, it would be difficult for him to catch up.
Xu Tian didn't chase after them. He knew the most important thing now was to return to the inn and check on Chen Xin'er and the others. He tapped the ground lightly with his toes and, like a lithe bird, leaped up and flew towards the second floor of the inn. When he landed, he was greeted by a scene of devastation. Chen Yu lay on the ground, his face as pale as paper, devoid of any color.
His clothes were stained red with blood, which was still oozing out, clearly indicating a serious injury. Lin Feng was squatting beside Chen Yu, his hands on his chest. A soft light emanated from his hands, like warm sunlight, slowly healing Chen Yu's wounds. Chen Xin'er stood quietly by, a trace of sadness in her eyes as she stared intently at Chen Yu, her gaze filled with concern and heartache.
Xu Tian walked quickly to Chen Xiner's side. He looked at Chen Xiner and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" His voice was gentle and kind, as if he was comforting a frightened child.
Chen Xiner shook her head slightly, and her voice trembled as she said, "I'm fine, it's just that Brother Yu was injured by Chi Sha for me." Tears flashed in her eyes, and the tears sparkled in the moonlight, like broken pearls.
Xu Tian looked at Chen Yu's gravely injured form, a surge of rage rising within him. He slammed his fist into the nearby wall and shouted, "What a bastard! The next time I see him, I'll kill him." His eyes gleamed with a rage that seemed to burn everything to ashes. His fist struck the wall with a dull thud, sending dust rustling down from the surface.
In the distant darkness, Hu Fei and his men stood quietly. A hint of resentment etched across Hu Fei's face as he gazed towards the inn, his brows slightly furrowed. On the other side, the members of the Demon Cult also watched quietly. They had witnessed the fierce battle just now, and had also seen that Chen Xin'er was being guarded by such a powerful person.
Hu Fei said helplessly, "It's so hard to earn these 100,000 Xuanjing coins." His voice was filled with helplessness and regret. Then, they all retreated temporarily, and the dark street returned to silence.
