Chapter 127: Breakthrough! (2/2)

“Blood Shadow Definite Kill!”

Raging crimson strikes of sword qi charged forward while intertwining, and they crashed into the group of dwarves, including the Transformation Realm dwarf. The group was torn apart, and the surrounding dwarves were so afraid that they leaped in fear. While they were staring in shock, another blood red wave charged toward them.

“Qin Yu, you finally came.” Qin Zong’s burden was finally lifted as he sighed with relief. He staggered backward, seemingly about to collapse.

Qin Yu dashed up to support him and asked worriedly, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine! Quick, save them!” Qin Zong struggled to stand straight and shouted hoarsely.

Qin Yu turned his head, and he saw the dwarven soldiers berserkly slaughtering the fleeing crowd. He saw the copses that laid everywhere, the watery blood trickling down to the ground, and he heard the mournful screams of the women and children. He was infuriated, and a red tint filled with bloodlust appeared in his eyes. He released a roar filled with grief and fury. Man and blade merged into one, and he turned into a killing machine as he pounced at the dwarven soldiers.

Blood rained everywhere as screams filled the air. At this moment, all he could do was kill, kill, and kill, until all the dwarves he could see were dead.

Qin Zong saw Qin Yu violently keeping back the dwarven army and he hastily gathered up the remaining survivors and directed them to escape.

……

Here, a group was dashing through Tie Shou’s Craftsman Shop, which had already been encircled by the dwarven army.

The buildings surrounding the workshop had already been destroyed. Almost all of Tie Shou’s disciples had died in their attempt to resist the dwarves, leaving only Mo Yu alive.

Tie Shou was helpless and he could only bring Mo Yu and the remaining three Heavenly Wolf Guards who were guarding Su Yinxue, along with Yi Fei, into hiding in the Weapon Storage Room. Since it held all his treasured creations, it was very strongly fortified.

But unfortunately, the people of the underground city had already discovered Yi Fei.

Yi Fei was already viewed as a monster in the Underground City, especially by the Yi Family who especially loathed her, and wished for her death. The higher echelons of the Yi Family had sent out a decree: Whoever killed the monster Yi Fei would be heavily rewarded.

Because of this, the dwarves pursued them into Tie Shou’s Craftsmen Shop relentlessly. They even used their fiercest demonic beasts to ram into the storage room door. The continuous strikes left the door tattered, and it was an inch away from falling apart until finally, a gap was broken through. The gap encouraged the horde of dwarves to charge through, screaming and howling as they struggled in.

The Three Heavenly Sky Wolf Guards could only forcibly try to fill the gap, and they killed wave after wave of enemies.

Fortunately, the three were very strong and they were all Transformation Realm masters. But in the end, their numbers were too little and under the berserk, life-risking attacks of the dwarves, the three all suffered wounds. If this continued, under the endless bombardment of the dwarves, they would surely lose sooner or later.

“Master Tie, we can’t continue this way. We have to think of a plan to escape.” After killing another bunch of dwarves, the Three Heavenly Sky Wolf Guards retreated to snatch a breather. The middle-aged black-clothed man, who was the leader amongst the three, spoke up to Tie Shou.

Tie Shou’s face was dejected as he paced back and forth for a few rounds before finally stopping, “Hei Lang, there is a path that was specifically designed as a preparation for the worst. This old man had stealthily crafted a tunnel over the course of a dozen years, to allow people to sneak from the shop to outside the city.”

If it was like that, why didn’t you say it earlier?!

Hei Lang’s face was filled with exasperation but right now, they were under Tie Shou’s command and they had to obey him. It wouldn’t be good to scold him, so he could only say, “Tunnel is good, let’s hurry up and go.”

“However, the tunnel isn’t here, it’s in the stables. We have to kill our way out from here to there.” Tie Shou’s words made everybody’s hopeful eyes suddenly darken, and some of them even almost fainted from hearing the news.

What joke was this? It would already be quite a feat for them to hold their advantage here. They were surrounded by soldiers and cavalry. If they went outside, they would’ve immediately been drowned in an endless tide.

Hei Lang really wanted to pummel Tie Shou. If the tunnel was in the stables, then, to begin with, why didn’t they run there instead of coming here to die?!

Tie Shou himself was also filled with endless regret. Earlier, they had been too hurried and he forgot. Only now did they realize what a huge mistake he had made.

Could it be that they could only wait here for their deaths? No, his heart still held a thread of hope.

“Hei Lang, let’s wait for a little while. Maybe Qin Yu will catch up soon.” His hopes were placed on Qin Yu.

Hei Lang and the others were startled when they heard Tie Shou mention Qin Yu.

Hei Lang stared at Tie Shou, his voice unsure, “You think Qin Yu can still come back alive?”

They really weren’t confident that Qin Yu, an initial stage Transformation Realm cultivator of the younger generation, could return alive after facing off against Qin Yuandao. It was already a miracle for him to have stalled Qin Yuandao so they could successfully bring Su Yinxue out.

Hei Lang wouldn’t forget. Out of the five of them, two of their comrades had directly been killed by a single strike of Qin Yuandao’s palm without the slightest resistance. The two were both at the middle stage of the Transformation Realm.

But with a mysterious source of confidence, Tie Shou nodded firmly, “I believe he can come back alive.”

“I also believe so.” Su Yinxue piped up.
