Chapter 128: Rescue (2/2)
As a member of the Heavenly Wolf Guards, Hei Lang had seen his share of powerful experts, but it was his first time seeing someone as demonic as Qin Yu.
Qin Yu’s arrival signified a disaster for the dwarf army. His sword arts were especially suited for large scale chaotic battles and combined with his high cultivation level, made him an unstoppable force against the expertless garrison. Very soon, they regrouped with Tie Shou.
Behind him was Qing Yun, Su Xiongfei, and the Qin Family cultivators led by Qin Zong. They joined in on the slaughter and completely devastated the dwarves besieging Tie Shou’s group.
“Master Tie, are you alright?” Qin Yu asked urgently after rushing over.
“Hahaha… good! Qin Yu, this old man knew you would come back!” Tie Shou laughed in response, completely disregarding his injuries. “Rest assured, I’m fine. I’m still alive.”
“Alright,” Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and he was glad that he hadn’t arrived too late. “Where’s Su Yinxue?”
“Inside.” Tie Shou wiped some blood off his face and pointed to the back of the storage room.
Before Qin Yu could react, Su Xiongfei broke in from the back of the group and bellowed, “My daughter’s inside?”
Tie Shou stared in astonishment at the large bearded man. His eyes were sharp and his body was covered in blood. He looked every bit like a ferocious giant.
“You are?”
“This old man is Su Xiongfei, Su Yinxue’s father.” Su Xiongfei continued to bellow, “Tell me quick, how is my daughter?”
“Father, I’m here.” A snow-white figure suddenly ran out, cutting Su Xiongfei’s bellow short.
“Xue’er.” Su Xiongfei dropped his blade with a bang and flew over to envelop her tiny figure in his arms. Then, he began to sob.
“Xue’er, you’re safe… you’re safe. If something were to have happened to you, how would I explain to your dead mother? Thank god, wuwu…!”
His sobs were loud and booming, but when the rest of them looked at him, they lowered their gaze and almost wanted to kneel.
Who would’ve thought that such a fierce and boorish man was capable of crying like that? Compared to him, countless women would be ashamed to the point of wanting to kneel in worship.
“Wuwuwu… Father, stop crying. I’m glad you’re safe too… wuwuwu…” The father and daughter pair stood there and hugged each other while crying loudly.
Tie Shou cleared his throat and turned to Qin Yu, “So, Qin Yu… We can’t continue standing here and watching them cry like this. The situation’s urgent, and we must leave as soon as possible.” He sighed and thought to himself that this Su Xiongfei really was a strange man.
Qin Yu nodded. “Mhm, we need to get out as soon as possible.”
“I have tunnels here that we can leave through.” This time, Tie Shou remembered the tunnels.
“Tunnels?” Qin Yu was pleasantly surprised. “That’s great, where are they?”
“Over at the stables. Follow me.” Before he left, he looked over at Su Xiongfei and Su Yinxue and said, “Hey, hey. Stop crying, let’s get out of here first. Then you two can cry, okay?” Then, he turned around and guided the group to the stables.
When they reached the stables, Tie Shou removed a thick heap of straw and pushed aside an inconspicuous stone slab, revealing a tunnel wide enough for two people to pass through at a time.
“Old Tie, you’re brilliant.” In his excitement, Qin Yu directly called him “Old Tie” instead of “Master Tie” like he had been doing.
Tie Shou was originally happy to have been praised, but hearing a young teenager call him, who was a Grandmaster, Old Tie, he felt somewhat gloomy.
“Quick, everyone, leave the city from here,” Qin Yu called out loudly.
Qin Zong and the others sprung into action and began to direct the survivors through the tunnel.
