Lan Buhui turned back with all his focus, and the space trembled.
But when he looked back, he found nothing but emptiness behind him. Instantly, he realized he had been tricked!
At that moment, the feeling in Lan Buhui's heart was simply indescribable.
Even if this old man was a fool, you can't use the same trick to deceive me twice in the blink of an eye!
In a fit of rage, he immediately turned around, only to see Mo Tianji and Gu Duxing transform into two streaks of lightning, shooting out in opposite directions.
The walls of the wooden house had silently cracked, with half of his body breaking through the walls!
He shouted loudly, “Stay here!” as he reached out with both hands.
The air in the sky suddenly vibrated, forming two enormous hands that fiercely grabbed towards them!
At the moment the massive hands formed, Mo Tianji and Gu Duxing had already dashed out!
It seemed they had anticipated Lan Buhui's actions long ago.
As Mo Tianji broke through the wall, he shouted, “Lan Buhui! Your father is the Nine Calamity; if you want to kill the Nine Calamity now, isn’t that equivalent to patricide?”
Lan Buhui’s body trembled violently.
The two giant hands in the air suddenly paused for a moment.
With a whoosh, Mo Tianji and Gu Duxing were already ten feet outside the wooden house!
“My father is my father; the current Nine Calamity is my enemy!” Lan Buhui growled, seemingly trying to convince himself, as the two giant hands struck again!
This time, it was not a grab, but a slap!
After that moment of hesitation, it was too late to grab; they could only deal a heavy blow!
Moreover, this strike could potentially kill!
Lan Buhui felt a twinge of regret. He hadn’t let Mo Tianji finish his words. But he also understood that since Mo Tianji chose to escape at such a moment, it meant he never intended to tell him the real words!
He only gave a rough outline of his strategic intentions, enough for Gu Duxing to remember today.
So, it didn't matter anymore.
With both palms slapping out, a tearing sound erupted in the air, and wisps of white smoke rose as the two gusts of palm wind shot out like cannonballs!
As Gu Duxing ran, he thought to himself.
Today’s events were all due to my negligence, which led to Tianji being in danger. Now, there was finally a chance to escape. Besides, they split into two paths; as long as they could fend off one strike, at least one of them would be able to escape!
If I turn back now, entangle myself with Lan Buhui, and self-destruct at a critical moment, Tianji can survive!
Moreover, if I go back now, Tianji has already gone far; he might not even know I died for him. I won't have any burdens in my heart!
Thinking this, his body, which was about to rush into the dense forest, suddenly paused.
Initially darting forward like an arrow, he now slightly halted in mid-air, then forcefully stomped on a large tree, spinning around and rushing back at breakneck speed!
The sword light was dazzling! Gu Duxing bit his lip, his gaze calm yet fervent!
Tianji, I won't let you die! It’s my fault, and I will pay the price!
…
While Mo Tianji rushed outside, he thought: I haven’t finished my words yet, so I still have leverage; but Gu Duxing doesn't. Therefore, this rare opportunity must be used to ensure Gu Duxing can escape.
Right now, I am completely confident I can hold Lan Buhui down! If it doesn’t work, I can self-destruct. It can still delay Lan Buhui for a moment! That way, the chances for Duxing to escape would increase greatly.
With this thought, Mo Tianji rushed to a large tree. He hooked his toes on the tree trunk, using the momentum to spin around it like a top, maintaining his speed, and turned back towards the path they came from.
If I return, Old Gu Er will definitely not know this. Even if he has a knot in his heart, with Chu Yang around, it will eventually be resolved.
Of course, the most important thing is: Old Gu Er can survive!
Just this point is enough!
Mo Tianji charged back like the wind!
…
Lan Buhui’s palm wind, due to both of their return, unexpectedly turned from chasing them to a frontal blow!
