Chapter 267
Elemental Demons’ Entertainment (Part 2)
“Dad, I’m scared.” The boy tearfully clung to the man’s clothing. The appearances of the elemental demons manifested the formerly fictional figures in him.
“Don’t be scared, Xiaomo.” The man pulled his son behind him. He fearfully glanced at the fire demon, then the cultivator in white and then the immortal master in yellow.
“Who’s first? As long as you can make it across, I shall spare you, hihihi,” repeated the fire demon.
The immortal master in yellow pushed the father forward. “Ordinary human lives are worthless. You two go first.”
“Immortal Master...” The father flinched. Arguing with the fire demon or cultivators culminated in the same ending.
“Shut up and go. You might not be useful dead, but you won’t be a burden!” asserted the immortal master.
Hopeless, the father heaved a solemn breath. “Xiaomo, wait here for Dad. Dad will be right back.”
“Where are you going, Dad? I’ll go with you. I don’t want to leave you.”
“Don’t worry. Immortal Master will protect you,” fibbed the father, glancing over to the immortal master. He always told his son immortal masters could protect him from elemental demons. Alas, the stories passed on to him before he passed them onto his son were but fleeting dreams.
The father mustered every ounce of courage he had to stand. They all placed their hopes in the two cultivators. He didn’t want to die, but he was less eager to see his son die.
The demons and cultivator’s attitude pushed Mu Yu over the edge. He summoned Shadow Splitter Sword and began cutting down incoming fire demons, knocking down others and using them as launch pads to propel himself to the boy. He manifested a flexible branch and pulled the boy over for the father.
The father caught his son and trembled as he patted his son on the back. “It’s okay now, Xiaomo. We’re safe now.”
“Help me!” begged the cultivator in yellow, stretching his hand out.
More and more fire demons caught up. Wood Spirit Sword expressed discomfort around the fires. Mu Yu marginalised the cultivator in yellow and began to turn.
“Immortal Master, could you help the unconscious immortal master? The fire demons hurt him when he tried to protect us...”
Mu Yu was close to the exit, and he had no intention of rescuing the cultivators after witnessing the cultivator in yellow’s actions. Everything was set for an easy escape; however, upon learning of the unconscious valiant effort, he couldn’t find it in him to abandon the former. He knew he was making life harder for himself, but he had a plan.
“Help me!” cried the cultivator in yellow, seeing Mu Yu circle back.
Mu Yu paused out of hesitation after picking up the unconscious cultivator. He loathed the cultivator in yellow, but he justified an extra rescue since the latter was human.
Mu Yu’s speed suffered as a consequence of transporting four extra people – not to mention the increased number of enemies due to his delayed escape. As the exit perceptively enlarged, a fire blast cut him off.
“Hihihi, one of you escaped, huh?”
“Ah, crap...” Mu Yu bemoaned.
