Sang Qian: "..."
He was also completely bewildered. He had always thought that Zu'an was bullying Zheng Dan and that Zheng Dan was being forced into it, but what was going on now?
It must be that bastard Zuan who used some trick to bewitch her!
Yes, that must be it!
Anger from Sang Qian +734!
Only Sang Hong, standing to the side, shook his head secretly and sighed with a sense of disillusionment.
Zheng Dan blushed slightly. She knew that her current actions were tantamount to completely tearing off the mask of politeness, but the education she had received over the years made her feel a little embarrassed in front of so many people. So she said directly, "As the saying goes, one must repay kindness. He saved me before, and I can't just sit idly by."
Although she knew the reason was somewhat far-fetched, she still said it to deceive herself, as a way of giving an explanation to her fiancé's family.
As she spoke, the water arrow she had conjured had already reached Ding Run. Ding Run snorted coldly and directly raised his hand to pinch the water arrow, crushing the raging water arrow into droplets.
Clearly, given the difference in their cultivation levels, Zheng Dan's attacks were completely incapable of breaking through his defenses.
At the same time, Ding Run shook his palm, and countless water droplets flew back, hitting Zheng Dan directly.
Despite Zheng Dan's best efforts to dodge and defend, he was still hit, coughing up a mouthful of blood and collapsing to the ground in a slump.
Ding Run then flicked his wrist, and the leaves that were slowly falling in mid-air instantly transformed into a green arrow that shot towards Zheng Dan at such a speed that the injured Zheng Dan could not possibly dodge it.
Even from a great distance, one could hear the whistling sound of leaves rubbing against the air, which gave a clear indication of the power contained within. If Zheng Dan were hit, she would surely perish.
Ding Run clearly realized that he had wasted too much time here and had lost his patience, so he decided to finish the job quickly.
Sang Qian, standing in the distance, hesitated. To be honest, his fiancée was very beautiful, gentle, and possessed the elegance and classical beauty of a well-bred lady. He hadn't even had his way with her yet, so naturally he couldn't bear to see such a beautiful wife get into trouble.
In other circumstances, he wouldn't mind playing the hero and saving the damsel in distress, and even winning the beauty's favor. But when he thought of Ding Run's strength, he couldn't help but shudder. The gap between them was too great; he was no match for him at all.
The premise of being a hero and rescuing a damsel in distress is to show off, not to throw your life away!
The most important thing is to stay alive. Once you've saved your own life, why would you be afraid of not finding an elegant and beautiful wife in the future?
So he hesitated only briefly before picking up Sang Hong and running away.
Witnessing her fiancé's reaction, Zheng Dan remained calm. She didn't complain at all; on the contrary, she felt relieved. She knew she had let the Sang family down, and Sang Qian's choice had actually freed her from that burden.
Just then, her vision blurred, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, embracing her and taking the fatal attack for her with his back.
Feeling that warm embrace and familiar scent, Zheng Dan turned pale and hurriedly hugged him, crying out, "Grandpa!"
Zuan coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his whole body immediately became weak and listless. It was clear that taking the blow head-on had seriously injured him.
If it weren't for the two temperings of the "Primordial Chaos Scripture" that made his body incredibly resilient, he would probably have died long ago after suffering so many serious injuries.
Even so, he was on the verge of exhaustion and could only manage a forced smile: "Our clothes match so well, we're destined to be a pair of lovebirds."
Ding Run glanced at the father and his two daughters fleeing desperately in the distance and sneered, "Trying to run? Do you think you can escape!"
Since things have been settled between Zu'an and Zheng Dan, he decided to deal with the other side first, lest they really disappear from sight and he would waste several days searching for them.
His elemental ability is lightning, and speed is his forte. His figure turned into a series of afterimages, and in just a few breaths, he arrived first and blocked Sang Qian's way.
Sang Qian was shocked and hurriedly took out the knife his sister had just handed him and slashed at her.
He was, after all, a well-known expert in Bright Moon City, and naturally, he was unwilling to surrender at this critical moment.
A yellow flame ignited on his blade. Now facing death, he held nothing back, unleashing his full potential and displaying 120% of his usual strength.
Ding Run snorted coldly: "Playing with knives in front of me?"
As he spoke, a flash of cold light appeared, severing his blade from the side and instantly extinguishing the flames on Sang Qian's blade.
Ding Run's blade didn't stop, slashing towards the opponent's neck in one fluid motion. The opponent, whose internal energy was still fluctuating after his full-force attack was interrupted, had no time to react.
He has done this countless times over the years; this is just another number added to his trophy.
The other person's emotionless gaze and the intense killing intent that flashed across his face made Sang Qian unable to breathe. In that instant, his whole body went cold, and he had only one thought: "I'm finished!"
Just then, Sang Hong, who had been half-conscious behind him, suddenly opened his eyes and threw a punch at him. The speed and power of this punch were almost the same as when he was at his peak. It was clear that he had been pretending all along, just waiting for this opportunity.
To everyone's surprise, Ding Run grinned and said, "I've been waiting for you!"
He hadn't missed the fact that Sang Qian had given him the healing pills. As a top assassin, renowned for so many years, his fame stemmed not only from his terrifying cultivation but also from his extreme caution.
In the assassin profession, no matter how skilled you are, if you are not careful, you will eventually meet your end.
