"As he spoke, Old Zhang flipped his palm, and everyone felt a burst of fierce wind assault them, whitening their faces with suffocation! For An Zhihang, who was the target of the attack, the discomfort was extreme. He felt immobilized, watching helplessly as Old Zhang’s large palm descended upon him!"
Just then, a delicate shout rang out, and a pair of slender jade hands firmly intercepted Old Zhang’s large palm!
"How dare you?!" An Yiqing’s almond eyes widened, her eyebrows shooting up as she channeled her Inner Breath throughout her body to block Old Zhang’s attack and coldly said, "Out of respect for you as my elder, I have tried to be accommodating in every way. Is this how the Guh Family teaches their servants to behave?!"
"Hmph! Even Patriarch Guh would agree with my course of action! Young girl, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers! Someone needs to teach you a lesson, so you’ll understand the immensity of heaven and earth!" Old Zhang snorted coldly, his figure moving at a strange angle toward An Yiqing!
Quickly twisting her body, An Yiqing evaded Old Zhang’s attack. Her fingers clenched into a fist, she poured her entire Inner Breath into a fierce blow aimed at Old Zhang’s temple!
While An Yiqing was busy dealing with Old Zhang, who was at the Mid-Level of the Innate Realm, Guh Siqing seized the distraction and swiftly launched an attack on An Zhihang!
Though An Zhihang was skilled, a hit from Siqing, who had reached Great Achievement, would surely cause severe injury!
An Yiqing, shocked, quickly disengaged from Old Zhang and spun to shield An Zhihang, landing a punch squarely on Guh Siqing’s body!
"How dare you harm the Miss?! Seeking death!"
Seeing Guh Siqing struck, Old Zhang’s face twisted, and like an enraged lion, he rapidly advanced with deceptive steps, his Iron Fist rocketing towards An Yiqing’s heart!
If this punch landed on An Yiqing, she would be gravely injured!
Faced with the overpowering rush of Inner Breath, An Yiqing found it hard to breathe. If she dodged now, An Zhihang behind her would surely die! Clenching her teeth, she frantically circulated her Inner Breath, deciding to take on the full brunt of the blow!
Just as Old Zhang’s Iron Fist was about to strike, An Zhihang and Zhang Yuksheng, paralyzed by the Inner Breath, had their eyes split with rage, almost to the point of bursting!
As An Yiqing was about to be hit, Guh Siqing gloated with madness. But at the critical moment, a chilling voice thundered like a bolt from the blue!
Before the words had faded, an overwhelming pressure swept in. Old Zhang felt as though a giant hand was clenching his throat. Before he could react, he was thrown to the ground, violently coughing up blood!
A tall and imposing figure appeared by An Yiqing’s side with uncanny speed. The stunned onlookers couldn’t believe their eyes, regarding this man as a demon-like figure, commanding and noble!
An Zhihang, upon seeing the man who had suddenly appeared, exclaimed with relief, "Lao San!"
The man didn’t look back. He dashed in a few strides to where Old Zhang lay on the ground and, ignoring everyone around him, unleashed his Iron Fist, ready to end him!
At that moment, An Yiqing’s soft voice gently echoed, as if a remote control, freezing Gu Yelin’s actions in their tracks.
An Yiqing quickly approached Gu Yelin, wrapping her small hand around his Iron Fist, and pleaded tenderly, "Ah Lin, don’t kill him here."
Old Zhang’s life or death was of no concern to An Yiqing; even if Gu Yelin killed him, the Guh Family would have no objections. But with so many onlookers, and Gu Yelin being General Xuanjin, An Yiqing worried that killing Old Zhang in front of them all might create problems for her Ah Lin.
Gu Yelin was well aware of An Yiqing’s concerns. He didn’t trouble the girl and, with a glower, withdrew his hand.
