"Do not push your luck here! Whatever you are, you think us here are pushovers?" Mentor Shao stanced himself. Even though he was feeling so uneasy right now, he could not help but put a strong front in front of these frightened people.

"Hahahaha! How amusing." Lao Yao was indeed amused by this and said, "If you are not pushovers, then what? Cannon fodders?"

This blatant disdain immediately made everyone infuriated. Even though they knew that they could not possible be a match, this was no time to be chickening out!

"F-ck! We will fight it all out with you!"

"You think we are afraid of you?!"

Most of them ignited their sleeping fighting spirits! They were readying themselves to clash it out with Lao Yao with all their might. They knew that they could not hold on longer, especially the middle aged ones, however they could not take it lying when they were shown a contempt by a creature like this!

So what if you are demon? You are only one, we are many!

However, Mentor Shao immediately signaled Yalan Na something.

This was understood by Yalan Na and said, "Everyone, don't. You are not a match with that guy, and I think I don't need to repeat this. You guys will just waste your lives and contribute to add to his lifespan. Don't you think?"

The people contemplated for a bit before answering, "No matter what, it is still the same since we will still be killed here!"

This was indeed was likely to be the case. Even they did not choose to fight, they would still end up being killed by this monster. They just wanted to retain their dignities even at the moment of death.

"You all are underestamating Mentor—" Yalan Na was about to say it when suddenly Mentor Shao flew past them in a very violent manner and crashed into the wall, vomiting blood a couple of times!

"Mentor Shao!" Yalan Na rushed to back him up. She could not believe that Mentor Shao, an Emperor Realm cultivator could not withstand a single attack from the demon!

This frightened everyone present to their bones, deeply ingrained to their bones. Their last string of hope was destroyed like it was just a toy to be played with. Mentor Shao, the strongest being of this world, could not stand a single exchange from Lao Yao at all!

This happened too fast. Way too fast!

Their faces were filled with despair at this moment. Their ignited spirits were no longer there, all they could do was resign. Resign their fates. Perhaps, this was the best thing they could do.

Lao Yao strolled in a slow pace towards Mentor Shao with a devilish grin on his face, "A mere Emperor Realm, second stage cultivator like you dared to confront me with that puny strength of yours? How funny. You all here are all pushovers, that's right! What can you do about it? Bite me?"

Every steps he takes made everyone's heart skip a beat. They hold their breaths, not daring to make a sound, with extremely paled white faces. That voice that filled with killing intent, like he was longing for blood. His voice was not that creepy if one would observe it better, however, his extreme hatred that seemed ingrained to his bones against humans, made it so bone-chilling that one would already piss his pants.

"Cough! cough!" Mentor Shao coughed blood again which startled Yalan Na more. She looked at Zilang Mu who was currently in a daze and said, "What are you doing standing there for?! Quick have Mentor Shao treated!"

Zilang Mu was currently in the middle of shock, his brain could not catch up with these scenes unfolded right in his eyes. However, when he was called out furiously by Yalan Na, he regained his senses, "I.. I.."

"Hurry!" Yalan Na knew that Mentor Shao's condition was very critical and needed immediate attention, he could not even say a thing and just revealed a pale white face, continuously coughing up blood. "Your master had his internal organs crushed! QUICKLY!"

Zilang Mu was scared out of his wits! He did not know what to do. "As if I can heal master's wounds by my power!"

"Just f-cking hurry up!!" Yalan Na was furious and cut all pretenses, "Your master is dying yet you are saying such nonsense? Just treat him for a moment when I hold out that demon!!"

However, Zilang Mu did not budge and instead, stepped a few backwards saying, "I cannot!"

"Bastard!" Yalan Na shouted, she was still supporting Mentor Shao, she did not expect that Zilang Mu was such a coward at this dire moment! She had no choice but grit her teeth and lay Mentor Shao for a while. She knew that no one could help Mentor Shao even they wanted to, because everyone here was scared shitless! Besides, only Zilang Mu with his medical capabilities, was the only one who could treat Mentor Shao temporarily.

Yuan Gu gritted his teeth and walked over them and said, "Big Sis Yalan, let me treat Mentor Shao temporarily. You go and stop him!"

"Alrigh!" Yalan Na affirmed, however, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her which stumped her, "Too late."

BOOOM!

Yalan Na crashed into the wall with a devastating impact! Fortunately for her quick response, she used the great sword to take the most of the critical damage of the attack. Though she was still crashed into the wall, she did not suffer any internal injuries like Mentor Shao. However, she felt that her body got numb.

"Big Sister Yalan!" Yuan Gu cried out.

"I'm alright." Yalan Na got back to her feet. However, her sword was greatly damaged that it was already unusable. She could not fight any longer as she helplessly smiled, "Looks like, it is really over now."

As a warrior, losing the sword was losing the entire battle!

Yuan Gu was giving some of his essence qi to Mentor Shao to stabilize his situation so he was unable to move.

"Alright. Move away from that old man." Lao Yao ordered Yuan Gu, "After I devour his life force, all of you here will also experience the same so no need to be anxious." As Mentor Shao was the most powerful here, he will obviously come for him first before everything else.

Yuan Gu was scared at this moment, however he did not move and just kept pouring essence qi and doing some complex medications to Mentor Shao!

"Prince Yuan, go away!" Yalan Na shouted.

"Oh? You're not giving in?" Lao Yao sneered, "Well then, just die first!" A palm suddenly striked towards Yuan Gu.

Yuan Gu could only close his eyes and give all his trust to a certain someone.

A few seconds that he realized that he was still alive, he opened his eyes and had seen a stick-figured man standing in front of him, holding a stick sword!

This stick-figured man gave a stance of a heroic being that saved a princess from villains!

The stick figure pushed back Lao Yao in a very imposing manner and said, "Fool."
