Volume One, Chapter 81
"They're right ahead—hurry and catch them!" A group of people appeared behind Lan Qingyuan. One of them pointed at Lan Qingyuan and shouted.
Lan Qingyuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly ran even faster.
Those people quickly gave chase as well.
After running for a while, Lan Qingyuan began to slow down. He had expended too much strength and was nearly out of energy.
The group did not slow down, continuing to chase Lan Qingyuan at high speed. The distance between them grew smaller and smaller.
"Brother! Leave me behind! I don't want you to die either," Lan Banyuan said weakly, guilt-ridden.
Lan Qingyuan said firmly, "Your brother won't abandon you. We've depended on each other since we were little. At worst, your brother will die with you today."
Clang!
Those people had already caught up. A sharp blade-light slashed toward Lan Qingyuan from behind.
Lan Qingyuan hurriedly dodged to the side, avoiding the strike. But immediately afterward, a powerful force struck him head-on, sending both Lan Qingyuan and Lan Banyuan flying. Lan Banyuan crashed to the ground and fainted. Lan Qingyuan hurried to his younger brother's side and drew a sword.
The group surrounded the two of them. A fierce-looking Great Han laughed and said, "You little brat can really run. You made Laozi chase you for so long. Go on, keep running now!"
Lan Qingyuan thought for a moment. He had little strength left, and with everyone surrounding him, there was no way he could escape. He said, "If I'm willing to hand over everything I have, can you let my brother and me go?"
The Great Han grinned savagely. "Still dreaming? Stop dreaming! You brothers must die here today. Laozi doesn't want to waste words with you. Everyone, kill him and split the loot."
