Infatuated with His Sense of Superiority

Surrounded, Mu Yu dialled his vigilance level to the max.

“Charge!” commanded the tallest fire demon.

With fire balls encroaching, those with Mu Yu flew into a panic. Hence, he instructed, “Brace and stay steady!”Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

Mu Yu whipped Shadow Splitter Sword, blasting the fire balls back, only for more to approach. A ferocious roar came from the lava below them.

“Dad!” The boy hugged his father’s leg.

“Don’t be scared. The immortal master will protect us,” assured the father, hanging onto his son whilst carrying the unconscious cultivator.

A lava monster as big as a darn house jumped out of the lava. It resembled an Asian black bear, except it had a pair of tiny wings.

“I need to get out of this cave. Damn it, there are too many of them,”

Mu Yu, perspiring, kept fighting off fire demons; however, another wave would take their place. He kept shielding those behind him using his own spiritual energy. Noticing Mu Yu struggling to keep up the pace, the father caressed his son’s head then firmly stated, “Immortal Master, if you cannot look after all of us, how about I jump off. I do not want to be your burden. All I ask is that you protect my son. Can you do that?”

“Don’t, Dad, no!” cried the boy, clinging to his father.

“I just did!” Xiaoshuai shouted back at Tian Baoxiao, who was free falling.

“The last people I want to see is anyone from Celestial Star Sect!” Mu Yu added.

The giant lava monster emerging from the lava opened sprayed a blast of fire at the falling Tian Baoxiao, vanquishing him instantly.

“Imm-Immortal Master, he...” stuttered the father, thinking he might be next if he wasn’t careful.

“Don’t worry. I won’t kick you. Our intent was to save people. Since he’s inhumane, we have no obligation to help him. He’s scum, agree?” Xiaoshuai explained. He rubbed his food and mumbled, “He’s thicker than bricks.”

“Yes, he is inhumane, b-. I should not be criticising immortal masters, but... but... Ah, whatever, well deserved!” concurred the father.

“Don’t concern yourself with him. He’s not worth it,” said Mu Yu.

Man, surrounded on all sides. I can’t just use Xiaoshuai as bait as we did against the fiend beasts, either. The wood spirit doesn’t have enough of its power to fight against these intense flames.

“Qiao Xue!” Xiaoshuai suddenly exclaimed.

“Where?” Mu Yu looked around. “Don’t crack jokes now! Man, if only she was here. Her water spirit would be able t-, Water spirit!”

Mu Yu hastily brought out the blue ribbon, thinking he was saved. Water was fire’s worst enemy, after all. Unfortunately, only after his hope rose did he realise he couldn’t control it...
