Ambushed (3)

The top experts of the Tiger Clan were not among those being guarded. They had all gone off to cultivate on their own, and generally no one cared about them or asked them to do anything. They would only be called upon when a major event occurred in the clan and they were needed.

"Distant water can't quench a nearby fire. None of your experts are in the clan. I've specifically checked that," the man in black said calmly. He let others send signals because he knew this.

There is only one person who poses a danger to him here, and that is the chieftain of the Tiger Clan. However, the chieftain has now been captured, so he is no longer within his scope of concern.

"Who are you, and why did you try to assassinate me?" the clan leader asked once again.

"Go ask Lord Underworld about this!" The man in black didn't explain; he wouldn't reveal these secrets even to a dead man.

As they were speaking, the man in black attacked again!

Swish swish...

All that could be seen was the flash of sword light; no one could see the black-clad man's moves because they were too fast for anyone to keep up with. Even the Tiger Tribe Chief could only barely catch a glimpse of them.

He didn't give a warning because by the time he spoke, the man in black had already sheathed his sword, leaving him no chance to even offer one.

"Ah..."

Another guard fell into a pool of blood before the clan leader. The difference in strength between them was too great, and they were simply unable to stop the advance of the man in black.

"Get out of my way, let me do it myself!!"

The clan leader roared, then channeled his Battle Qi, forcibly suppressing his injuries, preparing to fight the man in black. At this point, the clan leader had no other choice.

Not doing so will only lead to unnecessary sacrifices!

The man in black smiled, a faint smile, but one could tell from it that he seemed to have succeeded!

"Chieftain!"

The guards cried out, feeling utterly powerless at that moment. They were called guards, yet they couldn't protect their chieftain and could only watch him fight wounded.

"Cut!"

The man in black slashed at the clan leader with his sword, but the sword strike was still too fast to see. All that could be seen was a gust of wind and a Sword Qi that moved at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"!?"

As expected of the clan leader, he dodged the attack in an instant. However, those behind him were not so lucky and were split in two by the Sword Qi.

The clan leader's heart grew colder and colder. The expert before him was far too strong. If he were uninjured, he could hold his own for a while, but he believed he would eventually be defeated by him.

Now that I'm injured, even if I manage to suppress the pain, I won't be able to hold on for much longer. I hope someone can come and help me during this time.

But who are these helpers? Within this Tiger Clan, there aren't many people stronger than myself, and all of them are outside.

"Soul-Chasing Strike!"

The man in black naturally wouldn't give the clan leader any time to think, nor would he give him any more time. He wanted to finish the battle quickly, so he unleashed his strongest killing move.

At that moment, it was as if the entire world was reduced to just the black-clad man's sword. Everyone had the illusion that the black-clad man's swordplay had suddenly slowed down, and they could clearly see the sword slowly piercing towards the clan leader.

Strangely, although he felt that he had slowed down, he still couldn't catch up with the rescue. The clan leader, due to his injuries, was also unable to dodge the sword. He had no choice but to take the sword head-on.

But what would happen if he took the sword head-on? Everyone knows that the result would be certain death.

However, this outcome seems to be a foregone conclusion. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this sword strike will surely take the clan leader's life!

At this moment, while the Tiger Clan guards dared not look, they were also wondering why such a top expert would appear here and come to kill their clan leader.

Of course, at that moment they didn't think much about it; they could only pray, praying for a miracle to happen...

"Laugh!"

A sharp whistling sound rang out from afar, but it approached the scene at an extremely fast speed...

Before the sound even arrived, a spinning spear had already appeared in front of the Tiger Tribe Chief, its tip striking the sword tip with perfect precision.

"Bang!"

Although it was only a collision between two points, the Battle Qi attached to the spear and the sword collided invisibly and produced a powerful explosion.

Dust billowed up, enveloping the gunman and the men in black from before, making it impossible to see the gunman clearly or know who he was.

However, in that instant, everyone seemed to have the same feeling, and they all understood who this person with the gun was, but they were a little hesitant to believe it.

Because, within their understanding, that person, though strong, shouldn't be that strong.

After the dust settled, when everyone saw the petite figure of the person holding the gun, they realized that they had been right.

"Taiya?!"

"Taiya?"

The chieftain exclaimed in surprise, "Who else could this person be but my daughter?" The familiar figure and the Taiya's Blade in her hand told him the answer.

However, he also couldn't believe that his daughter was so strong!

From that single shot during the rescue, it's clear that his daughter's strength has surpassed his own...

The disbelief of the clan leader and others seemed to indicate that their understanding of Tiger Girl was incomplete. They only knew that Tiger Girl's strength had surpassed that of her peers, but they did not know that she had surpassed more than just her peers.

It's not that they didn't know; Tiger Girl had been holding back several-tenths of her strength and hadn't used her full power. This was something Ye Lang had told her: one should be low-key and not show off too much.

Ye Lang had also told her that if you can solve a problem with just a fraction of your strength, don't use any more; any more than that is a waste of energy...

"Father, you all go to the back first, leave this to your daughter!" Tiger Girl said to the clan leader, holding the Taiya's Blade, which was taller than her, in one hand.

"Taiya, are you alright?" the chieftain couldn't help but ask. Although the shot just now had proven Tiger Girl's strength, as a father, he was still a little worried about his daughter's safety.

"No problem! Don't worry..."

As Tiger Girl was speaking, she suddenly took a step forward and fired a shot at the man in black. The move was ordinary and nothing special, but the speed and power were astonishing, enough to scare anyone present!

"?!" The man in black was startled and immediately dodged to the side. He was very glad that he had reacted quickly; if he had been any slower, he might have had a hole punched in his body.
