Durei IV! The visitor turned out to be Ye Huan's master, Ninth Level Court Chief Summoner Durei IV!
However, it was clear that Durei IV was not there to assist Ye Tian and Ye Luo. The moment he appeared, he summoned an Eighth-Level Summoned Beast, the Fire Armored Dragon, directing it to attack the direction where Gong Weiqi was located.
Seeing this scene, Ye Huan, who was pondering on the city wall, suddenly remembered that Durei IV's primary mission at the border was to protect the little princess. With the princess injured, it wasn't surprising for him to seek revenge on her behalf. Unfortunately, this put the black-robed elder, who was fiercely battling against Ye Tian and his companions, in a difficult position.
Earlier, when Ye Huan used a Barrett to attack Gong Weiqi, the black-robed elder could still manage to handle the situation. But now, facing an Eighth-Level Fire Armored Dragon while also being wary of potential sneak attacks from Ye Tian and the others made things quite tricky. With a flick of his fingers, the elder began his counterattack for the first time. Three sharp sword energies surged forward with unstoppable force towards Ye Tian and his group, forcing them to retreat two steps.
Seizing this opportunity, the black-robed elder gathered a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in his withered hand, transforming it into a sword that he wielded. In just a few steps, he caught up with the charging Fire Armored Dragon, managing to pierce through its tough skin!
Legend has it that the Fire Armored Dragon, a beast dwelling at the base of volcanoes, drinks magma from above and feeds on jade from below. It is covered in Golden Scales and Azure Armor, with a head resembling that of a dragon. Its tail leaps like flames as it moves, enveloped by intense fire elements; hence its name. Despite being such a powerful creature, it failed to withstand even one strike from the black-robed elder, showcasing the elder's formidable strength.
Leaping over the Fire Armored Dragon, the black-robed elder reached Gong Weiqi's side and forcefully threw him away, sending him flying several dozen meters. His voice echoed in Gong Weiqi's ears: “Get lost! Go as far as you can; don’t be a nuisance here!”
Stunned but regaining his balance mid-air, Gong Weiqi landed lightly on the ground. Instinctively following the black-robed elder's command, he quickly ran away from the battlefield, leaving it to these true powerhouses.
After that…
After that, Ye Huan did not witness what happened next because upon noticing that Gong Weiqi had fled from the battlefield meant for strong fighters, he immediately grabbed Weiyang and Zhang Ren, rushing down from the city wall. With a flip of his hand, he summoned a military Hummer, which was driven by Weiyang. The three quickly pursued in the direction where Gong Weiqi had escaped.
On their way, Ye Huan also summoned a large number of weapons and grenades. He was resolute in his determination; this time he had to ensure that Gong Weiqi remained within Northern Liang City. Otherwise, if Gong Weiqi managed to escape, finding him again to eliminate him would undoubtedly become much more challenging.
Weiyang also deeply agreed, his foot never lifting off the throttle. The military Hummer surged forward, and after four or five minutes of driving, Ye Huan, using the scope on the Barrett, noticed that Gong Weiqi was almost at the northern gate of Northern Liang City. Without hesitation, Ye Huan pulled the trigger on the Barrett.
The deafening gunshot echoed as Gong Weiqi, racing ahead, remained oblivious to the danger behind him. In an instant, a sniper bullet with an 11-centimeter-long blade had crossed hundreds of meters and reached him.
The bullet struck heavily against his right thigh, embedding itself in his flesh. The pain caused him to collapse onto the cold ground. Turning his head, he saw Ye Huan and the others had caught up. His handsome face twisted with hatred as he struggled to rise, limping away in another direction, hoping to escape Ye Huan and his companions by relying on his familiarity with the terrain.
Ye Huan observed this scene through the Barrett's scope and shook his head. He put away the Barrett, sighing that it was indeed true—those with higher ranks had stronger physiques. Otherwise, under the immense impact of the Barrett, the bullet would not have merely created a hole in his leg; it should have blown off his thigh.
Fortunately, after such a hit, Gong Weiqi's speed noticeably slowed down. After about ten seconds and several skillful drifts executed by Weiyang's expert driving, they quickly caught up with Gong Weiqi.
Realizing he could not escape, Gong Weiqi bravely stopped in the street of Northern Liang City, coldly staring at Ye Huan and the others in their Military Hummer.
Seeing this, Ye Huan instructed Weiyang to stop the vehicle. He tossed each of them an M4A1 assault rifle before they all got out of the car. Ye Huan grinned menacingly at Gong Weiqi and said, "Gong Weiqi, why aren't you running? You hurt the little princess; I want to see where you can escape to! Even if you run to the ends of the earth today, I will make sure to take your life!"
As he spoke, Ye Huan raised his M4A1 assault rifle and aimed it at Gong Weiqi as if he would shoot him at any moment.
"Gong Weiqi," he replied coldly, "don't forget my identity. Even if I die here in Northern Liang City today, Zhao Wujie will avenge me!" Not understanding what Ye Huan meant by hurting the little princess, Gong Weiqi's expression was unusually cold. Blood continued to seep from his wounded thigh where the Barrett had struck him. However, upon closer inspection, one could see beads of sweat covering his forehead—he was clearly feeling intimidated despite his bravado.
Gong Weiqi put on a strong front, but Ye Huan paid no attention to his posturing. What was he? Just a general? Ye Huan wanted to kill him for injuring the little princess; those two reasons combined were enough for Ye Huan to sentence him to death.
Ye Huan summoned two M67 fragmentation grenades and threw them out before charging at Gong Weiqi with Weiyang and the others while firing their M4A1s.
With ninety rounds of bullets and M67 grenades working together, even though Gong Weiqi was a Seventh Level Warrior and tried every possible way to evade them, there was simply no room to maneuver. His body quickly filled with dozens of holes as blood pooled around him. Yet even then, Ye Huan still felt unsatisfied and summoned an M60 machine gun for another round of fire before approaching to carefully check Gong Weiqi's body. Seeing that he was completely dead, Ye Huan finally let out a sigh of relief.
However, at the battlefield near the lord's mansion in the distance, the old man in the black robe seemed to have sensed the death of Gong Weiqi. He forcefully blocked the collective attack from Ye Tian and the others with his physical body, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. After a few leaps, he quickly dashed towards the location of Ye Huan and the others along the rooftops.
"Not good, Ye Huan, run! The head of the Gong Family seems to be coming for us!"
As a martial artist, Zhang Ren had decent eyesight and was the first to spot the figure jumping across the rooftops in the distance. He called out to Ye Huan.
Realizing that they were not capable of dealing with the black-robed figure at this moment, Ye Huan did not hesitate. He quickly waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat to the Military Hummer. As they drove away, Ye Huan tossed two smoke bombs into the distance, hoping to see if they could obstruct the black-robed elder's line of sight.
Unfortunately, while smoke bombs worked well against ordinary people, as soon as Ye Huan got into the vehicle and noticed that the black-robed elder was already less than ten meters away from the Military Hummer, he understood that for a being of such caliber, the smoke bombs were practically useless!
Fortunately, Weiyang was quick to start the vehicle. As the black-robed elder closed in and unleashed a sword aura, the rear of the Military Hummer expelled a large amount of black smoke. With a sudden turn, they sped towards the City Gate. By then, the sword aura released by the black-robed elder had already gone who knows where as Weiyang maneuvered the Military Hummer.
In just two seconds, the speed of the Military Hummer increased. Ye Tian and his companions caught up with the black-robed elder and engaged him in battle once more.
Sitting in the back seat of the driver's area, Ye Huan looked back and broke into a cold sweat from what had just transpired. The only thing he felt relieved about was that Gong Weiqi was dead. This allowed him to finally give himself some peace; otherwise, if Princess had taken a hit for him in vain, he would probably never have been able to face her again.
Turning his head back around, Ye Huan suddenly realized something was off. Weiyang was driving northward in the Hummer. In other words, they were now heading towards the northern gate. He recalled that when they arrived, they had entered through the southern gate of Northern Liang City. This made Ye Huan exclaim in surprise as he asked Weiyang, "Weiyang, where are you going?"
"Heading north all the way! Didn't Ye Butler say we need to escape as far as possible? Of course we're going north!" Without even turning his head back, Weiyang charged straight out of Northern Liang City's northern gate towards the border between Southern Xiongnu Empire and Huaxia Empire!
Thinking about Ye Tian and Ye Luo still battling against that mysterious black-robed elder within Northern Liang City and considering their family back in Wangdu, Ye Huan shouted angrily, "Turn around, head south!"
