Chapter 78

Stillness returns all around, only the sound of footsteps growing closer and closer from outside is heard.

Outside the cave someone opens their mouth to speak in a whisper, "There are people inside."

Another person's whisper replies with a laugh, "Perhaps there are still quite a few people."

It's obvious the people speaking are Yan Buhuo and Yan Daifu.

Suddenly hearing Yan Buhuo's voice, Ji Han can't help straightening his back, his sword hand clenching, too.

He thinks Yan Buhuo already sent him into these circumstances, he isn't going to strike Yan Buhuo down, but Yan Buhuo's wugong isn't as good as his by far. Although he's somewhat injured, killing Yan Buhuo actually isn't difficult.

But he can't bear to do it.

He was young and followed Yan Buhuo growing up. Yan Buhuo taught him how to read and write and how to practice martial arts, taught him how to handle work and behave with integrity, too. Although he's somewhat indifferent towards him, whatever the case, that's also his father.

If he truly had the intention to kill Yan Buhuo, long ago when he had discovered Yan Buhuo's arranged strategy, he already should have struck.

Ji Han slowly releases his sword again.

He recalls Yan Buhuo once spoke with him, in the capacity of Holy Sect Leader, the most important thing is being vicious and merciless. After all, people who aren't afraid of death are few in number, killing these, there won't be someone to resist.

When all is said and done, his heart is weak, still unable to take the seat of this sect leader position.

Suddenly there's a burst of noise outside, Haoran Alliance seems to want to mount an attack, and at this moment already Yan Buhuo's attendants are attacking.

The members of the Haoran Alliance have all been trapped a long time, utterly exhausted earlier, their opponent somewhere, it hasn't been long to have fallen downwind. Wei Qi mloves close to Ji Han's ear, hinting he take advantage of the confusion now and go up, assist in handling the Haoran Alliance.

Ji Han's state of mind is still somewhat chaotic, however with slight hesitation, the opportunity is already missed.

Outside the sound of fighting stops abruptly. When they extend their heads out to look once more, between Mobei's Twin Heroes already have one person captured. Yan Buhuo's attendants grab him and threaten those Jianghu warriors. After all, Haoran Alliance is a famous righteous sect, of course they won't watch his mishap helplessly, and are forced to abandon their weapons one by one, hands tied and awaiting capture.

The Haoran Alliance's Mengzhu's acupoints have been sealed, gasping for air, he says, "Yan Buhuo, who would've thought you hadn't died yet."

Yan Buhuo smiles slightly, however he doesn't speak at all.

Yan Daifu inclines towards the inner cave, saying, "There are still people inside."

Yan Buhuo hears this then also looks in, slightly mumbling, coldly opening his mouth to say, "Han'er, when are you still hiding until."

Ji Han is unable to keep from grasping his sword tightly again, however he remains motionless.

At this moment, he's inevitably somewhat suspicious in his mind. Their numbers are holding their breaths and hiding inside the cave, it's actually pretty normal if martial artists detect it, but that Yan Daifu was sent out to an ordinary household in childhood, and shouldn't know martial arts, why would he, too, be aware there are still people hiding inside.

Haoran Alliance's Mengzhu startles in alarm, "That Demon Ji Han is in this place, too?"

Yan Buhuo still hasn't acknowledged him, leisurely saying, "Han'er, if you're unwilling to come out, it's just as well we come in."

His speech hasn't yet fallen, Yan Daifu has gone into the cave. He walks close, and soon Ji Han sees his hand around the handle of a sword. His mind is stunned, however he doesn't know the depth of his gongfu--since he dares to enter alone, that then is confidence towards his own ability.

Ji Han actually doesn't dare raise his hand rashly.

But as long as Yan Daifu goes up a few more steps inside, he's going to bump into the Demon Sect disciples in front of him. Ji Han's heart knows that within the members in this place only his wugong is highest. If he's unwilling to raise his hand, those few people are basically without the strength to resist.

It's likely that his trusted aides hiding in the cave's interior at this moment, all of them will undoubtedly die.

Considering this place, he can't help straightening his back slightly, grasping tightly his three chi weapon, going out in large strides.

Wei Qi and Hua Hufa pull on his sleeve in alarm, however they're gently brushed off by him.

Yan Daifu has seen him, can't help slightly bringing up a smile onto his face, saying unhurriedly, "Ji Jiaozhu, a very long time no see."

Ji Han's expression is as chillingly cold as a deep pool, appearing to not want any more pleasantries with Yan Daifu.

"Draw your sword."

He speaks coldly.
