Sirius's face was contorted with rage, but his expression showed a determination to succeed.
The devastating blow had left him a bloody mess, but Tianlang had seen it clearly: the woman who had used the strange sorcery had also become weak.
His grand plan for the wolf clan is about to take shape; how can he possibly fall here?!
So Tianlang used the last bit of strength in his body to draw his sword and slash at Xu Nian.
This happened so suddenly that Xu Nian didn't even have time to react.
Suddenly, everything went completely black. The blade sliced through the air, and a strong sense of danger rushed towards me.
"careful!"
Nilu immediately panicked and ran frantically towards Xu Nian, trying to shield her from the attack.
However, the sword still hurtled straight toward Xu Nian due to its momentum.
In those few short seconds, Xu Nian thought about a lot of things.
Should she not have shown off like that?
Perhaps it would have been better to stay out of these things from the beginning.
If Xu Nian had simply led the main force across the grasslands and had not gotten involved in the conflict between the clan and the wolf clan, would the current crisis have not come so easily?
Xu Nian has always been clever and quick-witted in learning talismanic medicine. Her master jokingly said that she should be the winner who survives to the end.
But now, she is about to die from this inexplicable stab.
Xu Nian closed her eyes, a bitter smile playing on her lips.
She had no magic power left.
Sirius was determined to win, but he fell to the ground in a sorry state, his eyes fixed on the ashes before him.
However, in the blink of an eye, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his whole body became ice-cold.
Where Xu Nian had originally stood stood a tall figure, clad in armor, imposing and majestic.
It was a man with a dark and handsome face, holding a heavy longsword. In just a moment, his icy aura spread out.
He wore a pinky ring on his little finger, which seemed out of place, yet it shone brightly.
"You deserve to die."
Gu Zhan uttered a sentence with a gloomy face.
Sirius knelt on the ground, seething with resentment, but he didn't even have the strength to pick up his knife again.
He stared at the man who looked like a god descended from heaven, his voice trembling slightly, "What benefits did their clan give you? Our wolf clan will give you ten times that!"
Sirius knew very well that the man before him must possess immense power to have protected that woman in such a short time.
Gu Zhan did not reply. Looking at the devastated battlefield, he coldly uttered, "This time, your wolf clan has lost. If you don't want to be wiped out, you'd better get out of here."
He spoke curtly and turned to leave.
Sirius gritted his teeth, assessed the situation, and finally could only reluctantly struggle to get up.
"Walk!"
As the remaining wolf clan members withdrew from the city, the clan members were still somewhat dumbfounded.
From Xu Nian's intervention to turn the tide, to the appearance of this mysterious man, everything ended so suddenly.
But soon, a strong sense of excitement also swept over them.
"Did we win?!"
"That's right, we won! That's great!"
Everyone cheered and jumped for joy, hugging each other wildly.
In the past, they would never have believed that they could actually defeat the wolf clan!
Nilu's tightly clenched heart finally relaxed, and she slowly walked up to the noble man who had appeared out of nowhere.
She tentatively began, "I am the princess of the clan, a good friend of Xu Nian. I wonder who you are..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan's expression finally softened, and he said succinctly, "Prepare a quiet room, and don't let anyone disturb us."
Seemingly worried that Nilu might be concerned that he might harm Xu Nian, Gu Zhan hesitated for a moment, then raised the same pinky ring as Xu Nian.
Nilu was initially hesitant, but upon seeing the ring, she immediately understood and hurriedly sent people to prepare a room.
Gu Zhan then lifted Xu Nian up in his arms, his movements as practiced as ever.
"here it is……"
When Xu Nian opened her eyes again, she found herself surrounded by warmth. She frowned and groped around, "Is this heaven? Why is it so hot?"
She was met with a soft laugh and a large, warm hand.
"Pinch me and see if it's heaven?"
Gu Zhan lowered his eyes, his gaze filled with heartache, and skillfully gripped her waist, afraid that she might lose her strength and fall.
Xu Nian was stunned for a moment.
Without saying a word, she climbed onto Gu Zhan's hand, feeling the hot, rough touch, and froze on the spot.
"I... I'm not dead?"
[Wake up, host! The general just blocked that attack for you!]
[I must say, the general's appearances are always perfectly timed.]
[Yeah, any later and the streamer would have been done for.]
The live chat was flooded with comments, reminding Xu Nian of her current situation.
At this moment, Xu Nian finally realized what was happening.
As she looked closely at Gu Zhan's handsome face, which she hadn't seen in a long time, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
"Why are you crying for no reason?"
This time, Gu Zhan was stunned. He frowned, touched the corner of her wet eye, and didn't dare to use force, only gently rubbing it.
Xu Nian sobbed for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, Gu Zhan, for helping me so much."
She sighed, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I really would be going to heaven..."
Xu Nian was stopped from speaking by Gu Zhan's finger.
With a serious expression, he earnestly instructed, "You must not say such unlucky things."
A warm feeling welled up in Xu Nian's heart, and she nodded unconsciously, noticing that the feeling of weakness in her body had dissipated somewhat.
"How's the situation outside?" Xu Nian suddenly remembered this and grabbed Gu Zhan's sleeve to ask.
Just then, Nilu pushed open the door and walked in, her eyes somewhat dim.
"The injuries are severe."
Her few words revealed her inner reluctance.
Xu Nian remained silent, not saying anything more.
When fighting wolves, one should be prepared to die in battle.
But when death truly comes close, even someone like Xu Nian, who has seen many storms, can't help but tremble a little.
What should we do next?
Despite her grief, Nilu did not forget that she was now the clan leader, and she suppressed her emotions to ask.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian unconsciously looked at Gu Zhan, but detected a clear sense of seriousness in his eyes.
In an instant, her heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong?"
From beginning to end, she learned all her information about the wolf clan from Gu Zhan.
Gu Zhan's expression turned slightly serious as he withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Nian.
"The wolf pack is coming on strong and will launch their next attack soon."
Although she had expected it, Xu Nian's heart still skipped a beat when she heard these words.
She pursed her lips, but couldn't say anything.
Xu Nian is currently unable to deal with the wolf clan. Even if the people in the clan fight to the death, they can only manage a draw at best, and the war will continue.
Suddenly, Xu Nian thought of Gu Zhan's army and excitedly grabbed his arm.
"hiss."
Gu Zhan let out a muffled groan.
Xu Nian sensed something was wrong and tugged at his sleeve.
Large patches of bright red blood, and hideous, mottled wounds.
"You're injured?!"
