After a long stretched out battle, Ji Sky was gradually feeling the strain on his old self after deflecting the last blow. He hasn’t given up, but strong will doesn’t equal to physical strength in this case.
Bang!
Attacking from the rear in his moment of weakness, Ji Sky did not dodge in time and took the blow bluntly. Dropping his sword, this old man could no longer carry his weapon and flew many meters off before plunging into the cold hard ground with that fall.
“Elder Sky!” Those on the Monarch Manor’s side exclaims in great fright at the sight.
“Grandfather!” Ji Song’s heart jumped, her head a blank state as she ran towards her only family member.
“Little Song!” After spitting out blood from due to the injury, the poor grandfather only saw the painful image of his granddaughter crying and running over. For that, his old face crumbled into horror: “Don’t come over!”
Back over in the sky, the leading foe took notice and waved hiss men to dive down for intercept. Immediately, Ji Song was caught between several attackers with her in the middle.
“Pff!” Ji Sky once again spewed blood from his mouth at the situation, those eyes a reckoning of red: “Don’t any of you touch her! Whoever dares to touch so much as a hair on her will have their soul crushed under my fist! I will take you all to hell with me if I must!”
The enemy leader did not seem to hear the threat though and instead reached down to bring the child into a choking hold with his hand.
“Ji Song!” All of the elders are very much frantic now as they attempted to break through the blockade for a rescue. Sadly, the enemy forces were many and they too little to resist.
In retrospect, Ji Song didn’t appear frightened in the slightest despite being in such a predicament.
“You let her go, let go of my granddaughter!” Pulling himself up, Ji Sky wanted to run over to be blocked by countless swords from the front.
“Old man, your granddaughter is in our hands now. If you tell us where Heavenly Flame is then we’ll let your granddaughter go, how about that?” Saying this was a woman dressed in blue, her sarcastic eyes fell upon Ji Sky when saying that.
They’ve been stalking the Monarch Manor for several days already, and the reason they didn’t attack earlier was because they wanted more information regarding Heavenly’s existence. If the guy was around, he would’ve come out by now. And as they all see…. Clearly the guy was either in great danger, or seriously injured, regardless, it’s the time to press their advantage.
Furthermore, imagine they manage to capture the infamous Heavenly Flame alive? That would be a merit worthy of going into the history books!
“My grandfather won’t ever tell you anything.” Ji Song coldly met the blue dressed woman, her head held high in proud proclamation: “He is absolutely loyal to the monarch. Even if you kill me, he won’t say a thing!”
“Is that right?” The woman slowly strolled forward and grabbed over Ji Song from the guy. With slight flex of her slender finger, a huge pinch of red promptly shown through the child’s cheek after the act. “Who doesn’t know Elder Sky of the Heavenly Domain is extremely fond of his own granddaughter? I like to see if you are more important today or that Heavenly Flame is more important.”
