Chapter 1229: The Chief Manor’s Fate I
Qin Li laughed out loud as he looked at the young man who had fallen to the ground. He then turned to Nalan Yan and the others who were filled with anger. Suddenly, he felt an unexplainable pleasure that even his laughter was tinged with happiness.
Initially, he had thought that his life would be over. He did not expect everything to turn out like this in the end.
Qin Chen, the Mu family! And these family members of Feng Ruqing…
He would not let them go!
The Mu family’s front gate was suddenly quiet. The sky was dark, and beneath this calmness hid a brewing storm that seemed to threaten to devour all these people…
***
In the chief manor.
Gu Shi was covered in blood. The long sword in his hand was plunged into the ground as he raised his head to look at the dark sky.
He felt like the sky in the mainland… seemed to be changing…
“Cough!” Gu Shi coughed out a mouthful of blood and wiped it away with the back of his hand. His eyes reflected his decision to face death head-on.
Those on the other side were still sneering. Their disdainful gaze was cold and filled with mockery as they stared at Gu Shi who was in front of them.
“Gu Shi, you don’t want us to get close to the place behind you, are you trying to protect your daughter? By the way, Master Qin said that your daughter has disappeared from the backyard of Gu Manor and has gone to another place. You are trying so hard to protect that place… Is there a possibility that if we destroyed the hill behind Gu Manor that she would never come back? Hahaha!”
The man laughed wildly, and his figure was like the wind, rushing to Gu Shi’s front.
Gu Shi’s face darkened as he raised his sword to block the other man’s longsword. He was pushed backward, leaving a deep mark on the ground.
“It does not matter why I am forbidding you to set foot in the back hill. I only know that as long as I, Gu Shi, am still here, I will never allow anyone in my territory to act wildly.”
He would rather die trying than ever give up.
As long as he was still alive, he would never bow down to anyone.
His dignity was priceless!
If he let people step into his territory as they wished, causing his daughter never to come back, what dignity would he still have left? What was the point of him living without her daughter?
“Gu Shi, you’ve brought this on yourself!”
A cold light flashed in the man’s eyes, and with a sneer, he leaped up once more.
Gu Shi straightened his back and fearlessly faced these people’s attacks as they charged toward him like a swift wind.
All of his spiritual qi gathered onto his sword, and with a single sword strike, one person fell into a pool of blood.
Blood stained the gra.s.s and trees at the foothill, causing the whole sky to lose its usual color.
A strong smell of blood filled the entire manor.
‘Yiyi, I’m sorry… Perhaps Father will no longer be able to be with you.
‘But I will use all of my strength to stop these enemies.
‘And I will use the last of my soul to guard this place until you return…
‘It’s the last thing Father can do for you!’
Gu Shi’s gaze grew firmer, and his energy grew even stronger so that it made those who rushed toward him become horrified by him.
Qin Li had said that Gu Shi was already severely injured, but why was he still so powerful? Such powerful energy… Could make one’s heart tremble in fear.
Gu Shi’s energy would drain a bit with every person he slew. The blood in his mouth spurted out continuously, and it was not sure how much blood he had left that he would be able to spit out.
The crowd was shocked after seeing Gu Shi, who was so reckless with his life.
He was ruining his life to fight with these people! Even if Gu Shi won this battle, he would be half-paralyzed and he might even lose his past glory!
