Chapter 2483 - 682: Blood-Red Wedding (Climax, A Must-Read) (Part 4)
Daoist Wuxu and several other martial cultivators with close ties to the Gu Family stepped forward, surrounding the two old masters of the Gu Family and An Muyun, and sat down beside them.
The women from the Gu and An Families were unable to join the fray, so they could only retreat to a distant corner. Ruan Xue and Gu Tingting took the lead, standing at the forefront, vigilantly watching their surroundings to protect everyone. Xia Hau and Old Prince Bruch had already joined the battle, fighting against Xiao Yu and others.
On Fengluan Mountain, blood flowed like rivers, and corpses lay everywhere. In the raging wind, countless people fought with reddened eyes, faces twisted as if they were evil spirits from the underworld. Nangong Jue led the Nangong Family forward, slaughtering in all directions. The Gu Family Guard Army suffered heavy casualties in an instant!
Boom——!
The fourth bolt of heavenly lightning fell with a response! It struck heavily upon Gu Yelin! Gu Yelin’s body trembled, his tightly closed eyelids twitched slightly.
Ye Chenghong and a few others staggered, barely holding their ground. At this moment, Sun Siyuan, held back by his clansmen, immediately struggled to break free upon seeing this.
"Go! Go get my medical kit!"
"Family Head, you can’t go over there!"
"Nonsense! Old Ye is my lifesaver! Yue Lin is my disciple! The one enduring the thunder tribulation is the grandson of my close friend! Will you go or not! If you don’t go, you are no longer part of the Sun Family!"
The Sun Family members fell silent, not daring to disobey. Sun Siyuan’s son immediately turned and ran down the mountain.
An Yiqing stood in the crowd with the Qingying Sword, her red clothes already soaked. She didn’t know if it was her own blood or someone else’s. She had only one thought: no one was allowed to approach Gu Yelin!
Another wave of attackers came, and An Yiqing gripped the Qingying Sword tightly, charging in once more. At this moment, a dark figure suddenly flashed by. She was startled and turned to pursue.
Xiao Yu finally seized this opportunity and was about to rush in. At this moment, Gu Yelin was at his most vulnerable, and just a touch would shatter the man to pieces.
A streak of red suddenly blocked his path, and Xiao Yu stopped, looking coldly at An Yiqing.
"You’re still trying to stop me? How am I inferior to him?!"
An Yiqing let out a cold laugh, her eyes filled with mockery, "Just because he wouldn’t take advantage of others in distress. In this life, you can’t compare to him!"
Xiao Yu was furious, his five fingers forming claws as he lunged at An Yiqing. An Yiqing was unafraid, charging straight in with the Qingying Sword.
The two were soon locked in battle, quickly entering the fray again. Ye Chenghong and others breathed a sigh of relief, continuing to transfer inner breath to Gu Yelin.
At this time, Sun Siyuan’s son came stumbling back with the medical kit, "Dad! It’s bad! A large group is rushing up from the mountain! We need to leave quickly!"
"Leave? Nonsense! Give me the medical kit!" Sun Siyuan waved his large hand, snatching the kit and swiftly rushing to Ye Chenghong’s side. He opened the kit, rummaging through it for a long while before finding the vital energy supplements and stuffing them into the mouths of several individuals.
"Old Ye, quickly eat!"
Ye Chenghong gave him a grateful look and swallowed the pills.
"Did my son say a large group came from the mountain? Are they yours?"
Ye Chenghong looked puzzled, glancing at Elder Gu. Elder Gu pondered for a moment, then his face changed drastically.
"No, they’re not ours. Yulin sent out the deployment order a while ago, but there’s still no movement. It’s likely the Gu Family members were stopped. The ones below the mountain should be from the Nangong Family!"
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
"What should we do?"
Elder Gu glanced up at Gu Yelin, who sat amid the thunder pillar, his face weathered, "Everyone, I’m sorry. I will forever remember your great kindness. But Nangong Jue is ruthless; you’d better leave quickly."
Amid the rumbling thunder, everyone remained silent. After a while, Tang Hua spoke, "Brother Gu, what are you talking about? I’ve watched this young man from the Gu Family grow up; how could I just abandon him? That would be neither just nor righteous!"
"Indeed, Old Gu, though my abilities are limited, I’ve always admired General Gu. Everything he’s done for Xuanjin, I’ve kept in my heart. Someone like him can’t be a villain. I’ll definitely help this time."
The others nodded repeatedly, expressing their willingness to live and die with the Gu Family.
Elder Gu’s eyes grew warm with emotion. True friendship is seen in times of adversity, and he hadn’t misjudged these old friends.
In the midst of conversation, the fifth bolt of heavenly lightning descended from the sky. Gu Yelin spat out five or six mouthfuls of blood, nearly falling from the sky. Ye Chenghong and the others intensified their efforts, and Gu Yelin quickly stabilized his breathing. The dark aura around him flickered, obscuring the view inside.
At this time, the Nangong Family members from the foot of the mountain had already arrived and joined the battle.
