Chapter 638 - 126: Return to the Ancient Dream (18)
At the moment when Gui He agreed, the leopardmen launched an ambush. He wanted to crush Gui He with the speed of lightning to prove his deception, thereby ensuring the cancellation of the marriage and undoubtedly earning Lin Lang’s favor.
The other beastmen also realized what had happened and regretted not thinking of it first, letting the leopardmen reap the benefits for nothing.
Tian Xiang Hong chose to retreat the instant the leopardmen attacked and, with that retreat, truly exited from Gui He’s heart.
The leopardmen’s sneak attack was a disgraceful act. If Tian Xiang Hong had any affection for him, she would not have allowed him to proceed unchecked.
Gui He was struck with a hint of sorrow. As he watched the leopardmen pounce, he was so indifferent that he did not even draw his sword but merely raised his hand to block the opponent’s claw strike.
The leopardman was stunned too. How did he block it? Was this still the same turtle tribe’s eldest son who was ridiculed as useless by the nobility?
It must be a coincidence.
The leopardman attacked again.
But the result was the same; Gui He easily blocked it again.
Gui He, modestly accomplished in swordsmanship, had not only improved on the Sword Dao but his combat skills and defensive strategies had also grown significantly. He was by no means comparable to such pampered petty nobles.
After successive failed attacks, the leopardman became furious. His bloodline activated, and his sharp claws gathered a layer of lethal edge. If any of these strikes were to land, it could very well sever an arm.
