C1 Smoke past wounds in the heart (1/2)

Boom …

Puff …

A figure was sent flying with the sound of his voice. He spat out a mouthful of blood. With great difficulty, he stood up and clutched his chest as he spoke to the person before him.

”Traitor, you actually dare to collude with the people of Dark Soul Pavilion!”

”Hmph hmph, I can't afford to be a traitor. Today, your clan will be completely wiped from the Navy Tide Continent. ”Kill them all!”

”Quickly bring the Young Master away, the further the better. Do not take revenge for us. Clan members, follow me to kill the enemy. ”

”Yes, kill him!”

”Patriarch!” ”Rest assured, I will not fail my mission, and will bring up the young master.”

An old man was holding an infant that was waiting to be fed. As he watched the familiar faces of his family fall one by one, the old man's heart was filled with grief.

”Want to leave?” It's not that easy. Go and kill them! ” The traitors watched as the old man escorted the young lord away with his bodyguards. How could they just let him off like that? He knew that cutting the grass didn't remove the roots, but rather, it was rebirth in spring.

”Where do you think you're going? Leave your life behind!”

”Elder Chen, lead the Young Lord away. We will stay behind to fend them off.” There was a constant stream of pursuers behind him. When the guards saw them, their eyes revealed a strong sense of death. These people were all extremely loyal people to their families.

The old man known as Elder Chen had tears in his eyes. Lowering his head to look at the sleeping baby, he gritted his teeth and continued forward.

He really wanted to die with his clan, but unfortunately, he couldn't. He had an even more important mission. Tears filled the old man's eyes, and the sounds of fighting behind him were still as miserable as before. The flames of war filled the sky for a whole day.

The old man carried the infant and ran towards the northern part of Navy Tide Continent without looking back. The old man knew that there was no longer any room for the two of them here. They could only run towards a place where no one could see them.

”Hmph, you still want to leave? ”Put down the baby in your hand, I can leave you with an intact corpse.”

Suddenly, a person appeared in front of the old man. He wore black clothing and emitted a dark aura. That sinister gaze was emotionless as it looked at Elder Chen and the infant in his arms.

”Dark Soul Pavilion? Why are you helping that traitor? Aren't you afraid that my mistress will know!? ”

”Haha, your Patriarch's Mother? She can't even protect herself. Do you think her family can protect her? How laughable. A single sentence, and you're refusing to hand it over! ”

The black clothed man from Dark Soul Pavilion seemed to have heard some ridiculous joke, and after laughing loudly, she stared coldly at Elder Chen.

”If you want to harm my Young Lord, first kill me!” Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Elder Chen could only resist. Although Elder Chen was only the family's butler, his cultivation base was not low.

”An insignificant skill!” Looking at Old Chen brandishing the sharp sword, the black clothed man laughed coldly. With a wave of his left hand, the sword qi was dispersed.

”Netherworld Palm!” After the man in black dispersed the sword qi, his right hand turned into a palm, flying forward and striking at Elder Chen's chest.

Puff …

Elder Chen had still underestimated the strength of the man in black. With a single palm strike, Elder Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was deathly pale. After standing up with much difficulty, he cautiously looked at the man in black in the distance.

The man in black didn't wait any longer. He jumped up with all his might and flew into the air, attacking Elder Chen once again. Elder Chen was already heavily injured from that one palm attack. Seeing the black clothed man's attack.

Helpless, he could only hold the infant tightly in his arms, turn around, and squat on the ground. It completely exposed his back. With Elder Chen's strength, he shouldn't have been so weak.

However, due to the previous battle within the clan, many people had surrounded Elder Chen, causing him to be injured. In addition to that strike just now, Old Chen's internal organs had already been dislocated, and the mystical Qi in his meridians had begun to wreak havoc.

The man in black's fist landed on Elder Chen's back, sending him flying far away. At this moment, Elder Chen was still hugging the crying baby tightly. Elder Chen looked at the infant with a benevolent gaze.

In his heart, however, he was filled with endless remorse. If he could not complete the mission given to him by the Patriarch, then the hope of the Family would be shattered in his hands. The black-clothed man's sharp claws were about to touch the infant in his arms.

”Stop!” Elder Chen shouted loudly, but the man in black acted like he didn't hear anything, grabbing the baby.

Boom … Bang

A dazzling blue light shone from the baby's cradle. The scene of blood splattering everywhere that the man in black had expected did not appear. With a flash of light, Elder Chen slowly opened his eyes.

The Dark Soul Pavilion man was lying in a pool of blood not far away. Although her breath was still there, she was severely injured.
