"How can I protect my wife and daughter if I lack power?" Grand Lord Hong Lian released Dongfang Yu from his embrace before he walked towards the stunned Lin family Master and curled his lips into a scornful smile. "Lin Yun, did you have a good time as you hunted me down throughout the years? It's fine to me if that had been the only thing you've done yet you had the audacity to attack my daughter..."

He paused for a moment before he continued to speak, "If you had not attacked my daughter, perhaps you might have been fortunate enough to receive an easier death! Since you've done such a thing, I must give you a fate worse than death!"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Yun burst into laughter. His smile was filled with arrogance and a smug air as he said, "Gu Tian, isn't your boldness in coming here simply based on your reliance on your wife's power? That's right, I acknowledge that you have great power. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful you are or how fast your powers have grown, you are no match for me. If you're truly capable, don't let your wife be the one to fight me. Let's fight one-on-one!"

"Alright."

Grand Lord Hong Lian laughed icily and responded, "Yu'er, Yun'er, I want you two to only stand back and watch. Leave this ignorant old fool to me."

"Get it done quickly, Brother Tian."

Dongfang Yu smiled gently. She has great confidence in her husband.

Gu Ruoyun did not say anything. Her dark eyes were fixed upon Grand Lord Hong Lian as a light flickered from within her pupils.

In just one year, my father's powers have greatly increased. I wonder what kind of lucky circumstance he had managed to run into which allowed him to grow so powerful so quickly...

"Gu Tian, you are certainly bold!"

Lin Yun sneered icily.

While he admired Grand Lord Hong Lian's talent, it does not mean that he was afraid of him.

The only person that he fears was the white-robed Dongfang Yu!

"Ignorant old fool, how many people have you sent to kill my daughter? I will slice you with my blade according to that number!" Grand Lord Hong Lian gently curled his lips as his face continued to display its usual cold and grim air. His voice was filled with dominance like a great thunder which echoed through the sky.

Lin Yun burst into laughter before he soared into the air and stepped in front of Grand Lord Hong Lian. With a loud boom, he swung a swift and forceful slap towards Grand Lord Hong Lian.

"Hmph!"

Grand Lord Hong Lian scoffed and he slid his body slid towards the side before his right hand grabbed tightly only Lin Yun's hand. He then attacked Lin Yun with his left hand. The hit landed on Lin Yun's body and made him stumbled backward. His eyes sank.

"What? Is that all the Master of the Lin family can do?"

Grand Lord Hong Lian stared at Lin Yun who had stumbled back. The corners of his lips were curled into a smile of ridicule as he stared at his enemy's increasingly ugly expression with a sneer.

Lin Yun gritted his teeth and did not reply. He then sent another attack towards Grand Lord Hong Lian once again.

This time, Lin Yun's body moved as quickly as a surge of electricity, defying his t elderly state.

Boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound of continuous attacks vibrated in the sky as waves of light erupted from both men's bodies and flattened the ground around them.

Grand Lord Hong Lian's cold and grim red robes were dancing in the wild winds. There was a frosty look on the man's handsome face and his eyes were as sharp as swords which pierced through everyone's hearts. He was holding a longsword which looked like a red lotus. The longsword contrasted starkly against his face, making him look even more domineering and grim.

Lin Yun took several steps back as he panted. His pale, elderly face was staring at Grand Lord Hong Lian. He then wiped the sweat off his brow and spoke through gritted teeth. "Gu Tian, let me give you a piece of advice, you'd better surrender. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you after this! Also, if you want to kill me, I'm afraid that it won't be that easy."
