Huo Yan's words were so powerful that they struck everyone's eardrums.
The soldiers around held their breath and couldn't help but clench their weapons.
But Huo Pingchang just sneered after hearing this, with a mocking arc at the corner of his lips. His expression was still relaxed, and even had a hint of playful interest.
"Huo Yan..." He spoke slowly, his eyes filled with deep calculation and madness. "You are too naive."
"Your father was a foolish man. He was upright and loyal throughout his life, but he was killed by his own loyalty."
"And I--" Huo Pingchang slowly tightened his grip on the knife, and the sharp blade pressed deeper into the side of Helian Yu's neck. Blood slowly seeped out and slid down the edge of the blade.
"I've been pursuing power and status all my life, and I can't let it be ruined here."
His tone was grim and his voice was low, like venom slowly seeping out from the bottom of his throat, cruel and merciless.
"Your father is in my way—"
"Then I'll kill your father!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone's face changed.
Helian Yu's pupils shrank slightly and he pursed his lips tightly. The severe pain in his neck was not as great as the chill that surged in his heart.
However, Huo Yan remained as calm as a mountain. His eyes were like a calm abyss, without a single ripple. Only his palms tightened slightly, and his knuckles turned white.
"Back then..." Huo Pingchang chuckled slowly, his voice filled with an extreme coldness. "I was standing behind him."
"An arrow was shot and hit him right in the heart."
He seemed to be recalling things, or showing off, and every word he said was a bloody fact.
"Huo Pingyuan probably never thought that someone would shoot an arrow from his blind spot until his death, right?"
Huo Yan's breathing stagnated slightly.
After a moment of dead silence, he suddenly raised his eyes, and the murderous intent in his eyes suddenly condensed into an icy blade, chilling to the bone!
The archers' fingertips lightly pressed the bowstrings, waiting for Huo Yan's next order.
Huo Yan stood there and looked at Helian Yu deeply.
When their eyes met, Huo Yan's fingertips moved slightly.
Helian Yu nodded imperceptibly.
Huo Pingchang grabbed Helian Yu's clothes and dragged him towards the exit of the Gale Valley.
“Everyone, get out of my way!!”
His voice raged like the wind, carrying the madness of a desperate man.
But no one moved.
The soldiers surrounding them all gripped their weapons tightly, looking at the scene in front of them with cold eyes.
Huo Yan did not give any orders and remained standing there, his eyes as dark as ice.
He raised his hand and someone beside him handed him a bow and arrow.
He drew his bow, strung it, aimed it at Huo Pingchang, and said indifferently,
"Huo Pingchang, my cousin, is in the capital, his name is Huo Zhengze."
"The one in your hand is your own son. If you don't care about him, why should I care?"
When Huo Pingchang heard the name "Huo Zhengze", his eyes flashed slightly. Feeling the pressure, he pinched Helian Yu's neck tightly.
Helian Yu showed no fear at all. He looked at Huo Yan, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
Huo Yan's eyes flashed, and his fingers lightly tapped the bowstring.
Three…two…one…!
Just as Huo Pingchang was about to step into the valley, Huo Yan moved his wrist.
An arrow shot straight out, aiming at Huo Pingchang's hand holding the knife.
Huo Pingchang's hand trembled, and Helian Yu broke free. Huo Yan's low and cold voice finally rang out:
“Shoot!”
In an instant, the sound of breaking air resounded throughout the valley, and arrows rushed out like a rainstorm, heading straight for Huo Pingchang!
Huo Pingchang reacted extremely quickly. He turned his body to the side and suddenly blocked Helian Yu in front of him!
Phew——!
The arrow pierced Helian Yu's chest fiercely, and blood gushed out instantly!
Everyone was stunned.
Huo Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the bowstring trembled at his fingertips.
Helian Yu, didn't even avoid...
He could have dodged it!
However, Helian Yu took the arrow head-on. He endured the severe pain, suddenly grabbed Huo Pingchang's wrist holding the knife with his backhand, and twisted it with gritted teeth!
Snap!
The sound of bones dislocating exploded in the air!
Huo Pingchang's face twisted instantly, his wrist was broken by Helian Yu, and the blade fell to the ground!
But Helian Yu did not stop!
He grabbed Huo Pingchang's neck with his other hand like a tiger pouncing on its prey, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to throw him to the ground!
boom--!
The strong wind blew up dust all over the sky, and everyone stared with wide eyes, watching Helian Yu use his bloody body to firmly suppress Huo Pingchang!
Huo Pingchang roared and struggled, but he could not move!
Helian Yu's face was pale and blood was gushing out from the arrow wound in his chest.
He was breathing rapidly, but still clenched his teeth and held Huo Pingchang's neck tightly. Even though his nails scratched bloody marks on his arm, he did not let go!
Capture Huo Pingchang alive!
At this moment, all the soldiers were extremely shocked!
Helian Yu would rather sacrifice his own life in exchange for the capture of Huo Pingchang!
Huo Yan's hands were trembling slightly. He stepped forward quickly, drew his sword, and pointed it at Huo Pingchang.
"Huo Pingchang, you lose."
Huo Pingchang opened his eyes wide and struggled to resist, but his hands and feet were too weak.
Helian Yu exerted his last bit of strength on him until Huo Yan's personal guards stepped forward and restrained him firmly. Only then did he suddenly let go of his hand and fell to the ground.
"Helian Yu——!"
Yuan Musheng's voice came from behind, and he rushed forward quickly to support Helian Yu's body.
Helian Yu was in a trance, blood was constantly flowing from the corners of his lips, but he still smiled.
Yuan Musheng hugged him, pressed his hand on the wound on his chest, and felt streams of blood flowing out through his hand.
