Di Hongyun was unable to join the fray, having taken a direct hit. Gu Chaoyan had wanted to step in to protect him, but her intervention came too late. Fortunately, the tiger had vanished from sight, though its enraged roars echoed in the distance. This gave Di Hongyun the opportunity to escape the imminent danger.
With Gu Chaoyan's assistance, Di Hongyun managed to rise to his feet. The leader of the Undead Race ceased his argument with Di Hongyun and led him away.
"Don't concern yourself with me," Di Hongyun called out. In the presence of a formidable adversary like the tiger, which seemed as powerful as the Paragon and the Martial God, he felt utterly powerless. He had already sustained significant injuries from the earlier attack, and he believed he was only slowing them down.
In that case, he contemplated remaining behind to buy them time to flee.
