Under the pitch-black night sky.
Gusts of wind howled relentlessly.
Tied Niu was running like mad at the front, with Gao Fei in hot pursuit behind him, one desperately fleeing, the other desperately hunting.
"Think you can kill ? In your dreams!" A luxurious manor suddenly appeared ahead, and Tie Niu imdiately burst into laughter, "Gao! Clean your neck, and wait for to co for your dog head!" Tie Niu picked up speed and dashed toward the manor; as long as he entered, he would be safe.
Faster, just a bit faster!
Enduring the intense pain in his body, Tie Niu clenched his teeth and ran with all his might.
"Not good!" Gao Fei's expression changed, "He absolutely cannot escape into the manor!" Gao Fei had recognized that the manor ahead belonged to He Hentian.
As Tie Niu was about to enter the manor, Gao Fei's face twitched in anxiety.
"Die!!!" Gao Fei roared towards the heavens, and then with all his strength threw out the massive hamr in his hands. In the instant he threw the hamr, Gao Fei swiftly raised his hand and slapped towards the direction Tie Niu was running to. This palm strike nearly drained all of Gao Fei's strength, and in the void, a huge palm imprint appeared, tearing through the sky, violently striking towards Tie Niu.
"Whoosh!"
Tie Niu sidestepped, dodging the hamr. As he prepared to enter the manor, he suddenly felt a terrifying sense of crisis. The hair on his back stood on end, and he turned his head in horror, only to see a massive palm imprint floating through the void towards him. The five fingers were like colossal pillars; the center of the palm glowed with a blinding light. Facing the palm imprint, Tie Niu involuntarily trembled, his legs wobbled uncontrollably, and his heart was filled with fear.
"No!!!"
Under Tie Niu's panicked gaze, the palm imprint roared down from the sky, directly striking Tie Niu.
"..."
The scream ca to an abrupt end as Tie Niu's massive body shattered inch by inch, then turned into a pile of dust scattered on the ground, which the wind blew away instantly.
After Tie Niu died, the giant palm imprint also disappeared.
Gao Fei was stunned! He couldn't believe what he had just seen! Was that terrifying palm imprint really unleashed by him? Gao Fei looked down at his hands, thinking it way too... incredible... How did I do that? He tried to recall the scene, watching Tie Niu about to escape into the manor, his anger peaking as he threw the hamr and then struck with a palm... It was that palm that claid Tie Niu's life...
A palm strike had killed a Transcendence Tribulation Stage Great Cultivator!
Would anyone believe it if he spoke of this?
"Soone is coming out from the manor across, and their aura is terrifying. Hurry up and leave this place!" The anxious voice of Xuan Jizi echoed in his mind.
"Hmm!" Gao Fei snapped back to his senses, glanced at the manor, and then leaped up to fly over.
"What are you doing! Have you gone mad! Why are you heading towards the manor!" Xuan Jizi bellowed angrily, "You don't want to live anymore!"
"I know what I'm doing." Gao Fei ignored Xuan Jizi's advice, quickly dashed to the spot where Tie Niu died, reaching down to pick up a Remnant Sword, then summoned back the hamr before turning to leave.
Practically in the next instant, as soon as Gao Fei had left, a large group of people ran out from the manor, with He Hentian leading them.
"What happened!?" He Hentian looked around in shocked bewildernt, "Such a ss... A battle has just taken place here... I think I heard Tie Niu's voice..."
"My lord, I found a token," a subordinate ran over, handing a token made of Mysterious Iron to He Hentian.
"It's Iron Bull's token!" He Hentian's face changed, "Why would Iron Bull's token be here? And... I thought I just heard Iron Bull's screams... Could it be that Iron Bull has encountered so misfortune? No! Impossible!" He Hentian shook his head vigorously, "Iron Bull is a Great Cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, with formidable strength. In Heavenly Water City, no one but can hurt him."
"My lord! There's a ring over here."
"My lord! There's a boot here!"
"My lord! There are so fragnts of clothing."
...
He Hentian walked over to inspect, "This is Iron Bull's ring! This is Iron Bull's boot! These are Iron Bull's clothes... How did this happen? Has Iron Bull truly t with disaster? Soone go to the City Lord's Mansion and check if Gao Fei is still alive!" Iron Bull had gone to assassinate Gao Fei tonight; if Gao Fei were still alive, it would an that sothing had changed.
At this mont, how He Hentian wished Gao Fei was dead.
Imdiately, soone dashed off to check on Gao Fei's status.
He Hentian stood in place waiting, feeling very tense. Iron Bull was his personal guard, accompanying him for many years, and the bond between them was deep. If sothing had really happened to Iron Bull... He Hentian couldn't bear to think any further, he shook his head, dispelling the clutter in his mind, continuously psyching himself up that Iron Bull must be alright! Iron Bull must be alright!
It didn't take long for the subordinate who went to check on Gao Fei to return.
"How is it?" He Hentian asked anxiously, "Is Gao Fei still alive?"
"Eh... He's still alive," the subordinate reported what he had found out, "Many houses in the City Lord's Mansion have collapsed, even the main gate is down, the scene is in complete disarray."
"Gao Fei is still alive?" He Hentian felt a darkness before his eyes and nearly fainted.
"My lord! What's wrong with you?" Several subordinates hurried over to support the unsteady He Hentian.
"Gao Fei is still alive... Then where is Iron Bull? Where has he gone..." He Hentian muttered to himself, "Iron Bull, co out, please co out... No, I have to find Gao Fei and ask him." He Hentian had just taken two steps when he stopped, thinking if I go to Gao Fei now, asking about Iron Bull, wouldn't that give Gao Fei leverage over ? And... If Iron Bull was killed by Gao Fei, then he has the power to kill too! If I rashly appear at his doorstep, perhaps I will be in danger?
After pondering for a mont, He Hentian decided to wait and see, maybe Iron Bull would co back in another day or two.
The night passed just like that, and Iron Bull still hadn't returned.
Another day waited, and still no word from Iron Bull.
Ti flew, and unknowingly three days passed, with Iron Bull still nowhere in sight.
By then, He Hentian could no longer sit still, knowing for certain that Iron Bull had t with disaster, otherwise he wouldn't have been gone for so long.
"Gao Fei!!!" He Hentian's fists clenched tight, his eyes bloodshot, he cursed through gritted teeth, "I won't let you off!!! I won't let you off!!! Ah!!!"
Once He Hentian had cald down, he began to speculate... How did Gao Fei kill Iron Bull? He must have used so cunning strategy! Gao Fei could not possibly be Iron Bull's match in a head-on fight! No, there is another possibility, that a great master might be hidden by Gao Fei's side, a master with strength even greater than Iron Bull's, who killed Iron Bull when he went to assassinate Gao Fei while lurking in the shadows.
"Gao Fei was sent here by Dugu Jingtian. I heard that Dugu Jingtian values Gao Fei highly. To ensure Gao Fei's safety, it's highly likely that Dugu Jingtian dispatched several masters to protect Gao Fei..." The more He Hentian thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
Once a person starts to overthink things, they begin to suspect everything and everyone, trapping themselves in their own doubts.
