Chapter 301: Hero past prime

Dark Underworld Emissary died and the overall situation was decided.

The surviving disciples of Black Cauldron Sect threw their arms and came out to surrender lowering their head. Only Tuoba Xiong was still putting up a desperate struggle. He roared repeatedly and dashed ahead regardless of his safety, but everything was just a futile effort. He was completely suppressed by Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi. If Ye Chuan had not ordered them to capture him alive, then he would have already died many times.

A formidable man with the commanding presence of former days reached a dead end.

Tuoba Xiong also knew that he was making a futile effort, but he would rather die than submit swallowing the grievance. Although he was unreasonable and overbearing, compared to Dark Underworld Emissary who wanted to sneak off when the circumstance was anything but reassuring, he was many times stronger than him at this point.

“Father, father……”

A soft voice suddenly resounded. At an unknown time, Tuoba Xiaoniao also had arrived at the battlefield. Now, her complexion was wan and sallow. She supported her fragile body and walked over as she said, “Father, lay down the bronze cauldron and surrender, father……”

Tuoba Xiong paused and slowly turned around. Seeing the suffering expression of Tuoba Xiaoniao, a complicated emotion flashed in his eyes as he recalled his wife who had died many years ago. After growing up, Tuoba Xiaoniao greatly resembled her mother, and her temperament was also similar, which evoked the memories of Tuoba Xiong when he was young.

“Father, don’t fight anymore, hereafter, this daughter will accompany you to look for a peaceful and quiet place to pass our life, isn’t that fine?” The eyes of Tuoba Xiaoniao were bright red as tears flowed down her cheeks.

Considering her, Ye Chuan was lenient and had spared the life of her father Tuoba Xiaoniao. He hadn’t dealt with her father like how he had dealt with Dark Underground Emissary Exploiter Hu. But, if her father obstinately persisted on like this, then Tuoba Xiaoniao understood that Ye Chuan would not be softhearted and kill him decisively. As a matter of fact, people that wanted to accomplish big matters were the same in some places, they will never be softhearted like dainty and delicate girls.

“What don’t fight anymore, Xiaoniao, do you want your father to go into retirement, or, spend the remainder of my life in prison?”

Tuoba Xiong smiled sadly, then the blood and qi within his body suddenly seethed. He gathered his strength to put up a final desperate struggle. If he couldn’t rush out, then he would die here.

Rumbling sound suddenly resounded.

Regardless of Horned Demon Na Gusi behind him, he initiated a ferocious attack towards Flame Devil in front of him. He wanted to exchange a life for a life. Either Flame Devil would get out of the way or die together with him.

Even though the strength was higher, facing a madman who didn’t fear for his life, anyone would yield three-tenth. Flame Devil was also the same, he decisively retreated a few steps to dodge the attack of Tuoba Xiong. And at the same time, a sharp spear appeared behind Tuoba Xiong which directly stabbed towards his back.

Horned Demon Na Gusi who was behind Tuoba Xiong had ferociously thrust his spear. Now, either Tuoba Xiong had to turn around and block or dodge sideways, otherwise, he would be stabbed by this spear.

“Kill.”

The complexion of Tuoba Xiong was ferocious. He ignored the spear behind him and continued to forcibly advance towards Flame Devil. He wanted to break through this encirclement in a spurt of energy. Flame Devil coldly snorted and extended his hand to block, confronting the tough with toughness. Meanwhile, the spear coming from behind nearly reached the back of Tuoba Xiong. As long as this powerful stab come into contact with his back, a big hole would be created.

“No……, father……”

Tuoba Xiaoniao screamed. She wished to use her flying sword and rush up to save her father, but she was already too late.

A big hand suddenly appeared and firmly grabbed the spear behind Tuoba Xiong. The sharp tip of the spear had just touched the back of Tuoba Xiong. A bit of blood flowed out from the wound, but it wasn’t even an inch deep wound.

Ye Chuan suddenly appeared blocking the fatal blow of Horned Demon Na Gusi. Then the latter and Flame Devil took a quick glance and retreated a few steps back.

“Why didn’t you allow them to kill me? Why?”

Tuoba Xiong panted and he still carried a heavy cauldron on his shoulders. But his body had already begun to tremble slightly. His energy was already exhausted. Still, he glared at Ye Chuan like a wild beast as he said, “Why? Brat, could it be that you want to humiliate this lordship before attacking?”
