Chapter 1258 Escape
Wu Tongtian seemed to have been prepared, and met the punch with his own.
The two fists collided, making a loud bang, like a thunderclap on flat ground.
Both sides retreated a few steps.
As soon as Tianhai Yishan stabilized, Wu Tongtian's subordinates immediately rushed forward. With a series of bangs, punches and palms fiercely struck Tianhai Yishan's body.
A faint golden light immediately appeared on Tianhai Yishan's body. These people's fists were like hitting stones, making clanging sounds, but even so, they could not break through Tianhai Yishan's defense.
"Retreat!"
Seeing this, Wu Tongtian knew that his subordinates attacking was in vain. His pupils contracted, and he shouted.
Wu Tongtian's men quickly dispersed to the surroundings.
Just as Tianhai Yishan breathed a sigh of relief, a whistling sound suddenly rang out. He looked up and saw Wu Tongtian descending from the sky, smashing down with a powerful Azure Dragon Fist.
The immense power made Tianhai Yishan's expression change drastically. He treated it as a formidable enemy, mobilizing all his internal energy to counter Wu Tongtian.
But it was all in vain!
Tianhai Yishan was continuously forced back by Wu Tongtian. It had to be said that Wu Tongtian's strength was clearly a notch above Tianhai Yishan's!
Wu Tongtian drew a long sword and slashed directly at Tianhai Yishan. But at the critical moment, the sword missed by a wide margin. Tianhai Yishan was stunned for a moment, then seized the opportunity and punched Wu Tongtian.
Wu Tongtian quickly dodged. Although he avoided Tianhai Yishan's attack, it left Tianhai Yishan an escape route.
Knowing that he was no match for Wu Tongtian, Tianhai Yishan gritted his teeth and turned to flee, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
"Chase!"
Wu Tongtian's men shouted and immediately pursued Tianhai Yishan in the direction he fled.
But at this moment, Wu Tongtian said, "Do not pursue a cornered enemy!"
Wu Tongtian's men were very confused and looked puzzled.
"Tianhai Yishan's strength is not to be underestimated. If he ambushes us, we might suffer losses, which would not be worth it," Wu Tongtian said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The others thought it made sense and naturally obeyed. No one would not cherish their own lives.
Although the words were reasonable, Chen Xuan's brow furrowed, and he felt suspicious.
Wu Tongtian had the opportunity to kill Tianhai Yishan just now, but he let Tianhai Yishan escape. For what reason? Could it be that Wu Tongtian deliberately let Tianhai Yishan go?
"Miss Yunxi, the person has been driven away. That guy should not dare to come back. It's getting late, and my brothers haven't had supper yet..."
Although Wu Tongtian let Tianhai Yishan go, he felt nothing was wrong and was seeking credit from Su Yunxi.
"Thank you, Deputy Commander Wu. This bank card has one hundred thousand yuan, which is our Vermillion Bird lineage's token of appreciation." Su Yunxi was also tactful and took out a bank card from her pocket.
"Then thank you, Miss Yunxi."
Wu Tongtian smiled and waved for his men to take the bank card.
Then, Wu Tongtian looked at Chen Xuan again: "Kid, what do you think of my strength?"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly: "Third-rate skills."
"You dare to call our Deputy Commander Wu third-rate? You're asking for a beating!"
Someone spoke coldly, looking very indignant.
Wu Tongtian's face also sank.
"Isn't it? Letting that loser escape. If it were me, I would definitely keep that guy!" Chen Xuan said indifferently.
"And you want to keep Tianhai Yishan? Who do you think you are?"
The person said, "If it weren't for our Deputy Commander Wu, you would have died long ago. Where would you have the chance to brag here?"
"Exactly, it's ridiculous. It seems that people from the Vermillion Bird lineage only know how to brag."
The others also looked disdainful.
Wu Tongtian also spat out four words: "Arrogant and ignorant!"
After speaking, he greeted them and prepared to leave with his men. As he turned around, a cold expression appeared on his face, and he muttered, "Kid, you wait. Tianhai Yishan will never let you off!"
In fact, he deliberately let Tianhai Yishan escape.
Su Yunxi said, "Chen Xuan, it's good that you're okay. Let's go back quickly."
"Okay!"
Old Master Su and Jiang Biyun did not come. Only Su Yunxi rushed over. Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi got into the car and drove towards the Su family in the capital.
"Chen Xuan, did something happen?"
In the car, Su Yunxi saw that Chen Xuan's expression was not right, so she frowned and asked.
"I think with Wu Tongtian's strength, he had every chance to capture Tianhai Yishan, but he didn't. I think this matter is a bit strange," Chen Xuan voiced his doubts.
"Uh... I also think something is not right."
In Su Yunxi's mind, the scene just now replayed. Wu Tongtian's sword missed by a ridiculously wide margin. Even she, who didn't know martial arts, felt something was wrong.
At first, she thought it was her illusion, but now that Chen Xuan had said it, she felt it was even more wrong.
"Why is that?"
"I don't know. I think it might be related to Tianhai Dan and others," Chen Xuan voiced his conjecture.
"You mean Deputy Commander Wu was bribed by Tianhai Dan?"
"Highly likely!"
Su Yunxi said, "But it's nothing. The Patriarch already knows about Tianhai Yishan attacking us. After we go back, we'll tell the Patriarch about this matter, and the Patriarch will definitely punish Su Yongnian and Tianhai Dan."
Chen Xuan didn't say anything, only felt uneasy in his heart.
The car continued to drive towards the Su family.
Su Yunxi slowly nestled in Chen Xuan's arms, obedient like a kitten, tightly hugging Chen Xuan's shoulders, her eyes slightly red, and she murmured, "From now on, no matter what danger you encounter, you are not allowed to bear it alone."
Chen Xuan looked at the beautiful woman in his arms and was slightly stunned.
She was a pampered daughter of heaven, but also an ordinary woman.
Before, although he didn't want Su Yunxi to take risks, he had never considered Su Yunxi's feelings.
He nodded solemnly: "I know. I will definitely not do this in the future."
Su Yunxi looked up, her gaze meeting Chen Xuan's, and her eyes gradually became fiery.
Chen Xuan also slowly lowered his head.
The temperature in the car slowly rose, like the scorching sun.
The driver, with his sharp eyesight, pulled the curtain between the front and rear seats.
At the same time, the escaping Tianhai Yishan was fleeing rapidly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face gloomy, and he was in a sorry state.
Thinking back, when he came to the capital, how arrogant he was. But now he had become like this. If it weren't for Wu Tongtian's slip-up, he would have become a soul under the sword.
Finally, they reached the outskirts. It was dark all around. Ten miles ahead, faint lights could be seen.
Behind them was the bustling capital, which was still very bright even late at night.
After a wild sprint, Tianhai Yishan was already very tired. He stopped and panted heavily, saying hatefully, "Damn it! Don't let me meet you again. Since you let me escape, your Vermillion Bird lineage will pay the price in blood!"
To be honest, Tianhai Yishan had been too overconfident today, openly looking for trouble with the Vermillion Bird lineage.
If he had adopted an assassination mode like a killer, he believed that it would not take long for him to slaughter all the people of the Vermillion Bird lineage.
