In the Tang Family's western forest.

Yan Hu held Tang Wanru's waist with his left hand and a thick staff in his hand while supporting Ye Jingyi's armpit with his right hand and ran swiftly. Because of Jiang Chen, he was filled with respect for Ye Jingyi and even in this situation, he dared not hug her waist!

Jiang Chen's staff, however, had been left in the car. When Yan Hu jumped out the window, he had opened the trunk of the car and taken the staff out.

Yan Hu understood Jiang Chen's temperament. Under such circumstances, Jiang Chen would definitely not draw his sword.

If the Tang family couldn't catch Jiang Chen, they might inevitably destroy Jiang Chen's car to vent their anger. The car being destroyed was not a problem, but the Blood Saber could not be lost, Yan Hu clearly knew the importance of the Blood Saber to Jiang Chen!

"Hu Zi, put us down and go back to help Jiang Chen. We will find a place to hide ourselves!"

Ye Jingyi turned her head and glanced at the dark, dense jungle behind her, no longer seeing any light from the Tang family estate, her eyes inevitably showing deep concern.

"No, Young Mistress, I cannot abandon you. The Young Master's most important concern is you, I cannot let you be in even a sliver of danger."

Yan Hu decisively refused, reassuring her, "Young Mistress, please rest assured. Old Master Tang is poisoned, and the entire Tang family has only one Semi Venerable Venerable. The young master will be fine."

Although he spoke with certainty, worry still showed in Yan Hu's eyes, but he could not show it. With both women in states of worry and self-blame, if he were to lose his composure, that would completely deprive the two women of their psychological support!

"See where you can run to!"

"Haha, thinking of running back to the Tang family? Don't even think about it, Mo Tianze, today is your day of death here!"

Two faint voices came through, and Yan Hu abruptly stopped.

"Mo Tianze? Isn't that Jiang Chen's master?" Ye Jingyi whispered.

Hush!

Yan Hu made a silencing gesture.

Whoom whoom whoom!

Three extraordinarily powerful auras burst forth, followed by waves of powerful energy blowing over.

Ye Jingyi's face turned slightly pale, and she was about to step back when a daunting pressure enveloped her. Yan Hu released his own aura to help Ye Jingyi withstand the waves.

"Wan Ru, help the Young Mistress block the residual effects of the battle. With your strength at this distance, you can completely block it. I'll go help; you just stay nearby, and don't go far!" Yan Hu felt the distant battle fluctuations, handed the staff to Tang Wanru, and whispered instructions.

"Okay, Brother Hu Zi." Tang Wanru solemnly nodded, took over the responsibility of caring for Ye Jingyi, and released her aura.

A hundred meters ahead, Mo Tianze and two old men, one tall and one short, were fiercely battling. Suddenly sensing an Innate Grandmaster's aura, the three figures simultaneously paused their rapid movements.

Mo Tianze's expression dramatically changed, and he shouted loudly, "Wan Ru, if it's just you alone, leave quickly! Hurry!"

When Yan Hu released his aura, he controlled it very well and did not let the three men engaged in battle sense it, while Tang Wanru, being only an Innate Grandmaster and having recently broken through, was still unable to control her aura perfectly at this distance to deceive a Semi Venerable Venerable.

Mo Tianze added the premise 'if it's just Tang Wanru alone' because he knew that Jiang Chen could completely hide his aura so as not to be detected by others, and Yan Hu's strength, trained by Jiang Chen, was formidable. Unless he wished to be found, generally, a Semi Venerable Venerable couldn't sense him from a distance.

"Wan Ru? Is that one of Jiang Chen's disciples?"

The tall old man murmured, his eyes lighting up: "There's only one Innate Grandmaster and one Earth Level Martial Artist over there. It must be Tang Wanru and Ye Jingyi. The Tang family's plan has succeeded. Old Eight, go capture them. Once you catch them, Jiang Chen will definitely surrender himself!"

"Alright!"

The short Old Eight nodded joyfully and moved to rush toward the area from where Tang Wanru's aura was emanating.

"Stay right there!" Mo Tianze's face shifted, and he bellowed, charging fiercely at the short Old Eight, while his legs kicked towards the tall old man, his entire body suddenly pivoted.

The short Old Eight's expression changed and he hastily circulated his inner Qi to counter Mo Tianze's palms.

"Mo Tianze, you think too highly of yourself!" the tall elder shouted, reaching for Mo Tianze's legs.

A fierce look flashed through Mo Tianze's eyes as he directed all his inner Qi to his legs.

Bang! Bang!

Two muffled sounds echoed; Mo Tianze viciously kicked the tall elder's palms. At the same time, Mo Tianze's arms were blown open by the force of the palm strikes carried by the shorter elder, who landed a direct hit on Mo Tianze's chest.

Crack!

A crisp snapping sound, the tall elder's face turned pale as his arms were broken by Mo Tianze's kicks, and his body flew backward.

Bang!

Spurt!

Mo Tianze's chest also took a hit from the shorter elder's palm, and his body also flew backward, crashing heavily into a tree behind him, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Crash!

The tree suddenly snapped in half, pinning Mo Tianze underneath.

"Damn it, this bastard ambushed me!" the tall elder said with an ugly expression.

Whoosh!

The shorter elder jumped to the tall elder's side, saying grimly, "This guy wants to hold us off. Now that your arms are injured, I doubt you can handle him alone!"

"He's not lightly injured either!" the tall elder said viciously, eyeing the fallen tree ahead.

After Mo Tianze was pinned under the tree, there was no movement, but both the tall elder and the shorter elder watched the tree intently because at that moment, a surging fluctuation emanated from beneath the tree.

Whirring!

A mighty aura spread from beneath the tree, yet Mo Tianze didn't come out from under it.

"Damn! This guy is using the tree to block our line of sight and then bursts out with his aura, making it impossible for us to pinpoint the center of the aura or his position!" the tall elder said with a grim face.

"Old Seven, he's stalling for time. It looks like if we make a move, we'll definitely have to endure his full-powered strike!" the shorter elder said gravely.

Both were Semi Venerable Venerable Realm powerhouses, but as recent entries into this realm, they assumed that Mo Tianze was, too, and that together they could certainly take him down.

However, unexpectedly, Mo Tianze's combat power wasn't much weaker than that of a mid-stage Semi Venerable Venerable, and despite their full efforts, they hadn't been able to kill him, and he had fled to this location.

Now, with Mo Tianze putting up a desperate fight, neither dared to underestimate him!

The scene quieted down momentarily, a tense atmosphere pervading within tens of meters, with powerful pressure unrestrainedly radiating.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the three, a figure was stealthily approaching them.

PS: The weather here has been erratic these two days, alternating between cold and hot, probably catching a cold, and my head aches severely.

Plus, having updated eight chapters daily during the initial phase, I'm quite tired, so I need to slow down for a couple of days.

But even then, there will be at least five chapters guaranteed.

Give me two or three days; I guarantee a fully-recovered comeback...

Love, Little Finger.
