Chapter 428: Lost Lambs (1/2)

”There you are...”

”What are you doing here? So far away from everything else?”

”Two little lost lambs, I wonder what you taste like? I can't wait!”

The sweet voices of these Vore Demons giggling fell upon their ears. Before the two disciples knew it, they had been found.

”Eek! No, I don't want to die!”

Sister Ting dropped down to her knees, covering her ears as she did so.

”Don't worry, I'll protect you! I won't let them eat us!”

Brother Yu looked at her, trying desperately to comfort her.

”Damn it, I shouldn't have done this. Getting Sister Ting to come was a stupid idea, I shouldn't have brought her here. Still, I have to keep her safe! She's my friend, I won't let her die like this.”

Regret flooded his mind as he held the broadsword tightly.

Shaking his head, he resolved himself, standing protectively in front of her.

”Come out here! I'll slay you all!” he shouted out, displaying his bravery.

Such words were met with silence before the three demons giggled at him.

”Let's leave their heads! Show them to the other humans! Maybe they'll stop running!”

”Oh, who wants to do it?!”

”Why pick? Let's just all do it!”

At that moment, his heart sank as the three demons shot out of the trees with their mouths wide open and their eyes gleefully staring them down. They were like wolves in front of a pair of lost lambs, ready to feast on them.

Sister Ting closed her eyes, not wanting to witness what was to come. But Brother Yu stood strong and struck out.

”Flashfire!”

He held his sword up and smashed it down onto the ground. The blade burst out in flames that entered the ground and erupted beneath the three demons. He was a disciple of the Jadewood Sect, a young genius at the Earth Realm, he wasn't weak.

But they were quick, avoiding the attack and landing in front of the two. They looked at Brother Yu before glancing at the ruptured ground and sputtering flames.

”Don't come any closer! I'll kill you all!” he shouted.

But those words did little to stop them. They only smiled and hissed, running towards them.

”What are two children going to do?”

One of them laughed as they saw the fear in eyes of these humans. They opened their mouths, ready to tear the two disciples apart. The rows of jagged teeth and the forked tongue were on full display.

One instant to devour them whole and in that instant, thunder cracked as lightning struck them from afar. At the same time, dozens of Wind Lances flew into their open mouths but they weren't ordinary ones, they were Blasting Gales.

Struck from two sides, they fell to the ground, closing their mouths on instinct, having just eaten something else.

They wriggled in pain before clutching their mouths and stomach. The lances they ate burst out, exploding and causing mayhem inside their bodies.

Their teeth were all but shattered and torn from their gums. The blood pooled inside until it could no longer be contained. It flowed like rivers from their mouths as they opened up, revealing the destruction within. It stained their clothes and trickled to the ground.

Their bloodlines were deactivated and they laid on the floor, whimpering in pain. It felt like a toothache but for all of their teeth.

And then, Ming Yue revealed herself, landing in front of the two disciples with her dagger in hand and summoning several more Blasting Gales. The Boltwind Claws turned in Zephyr Claws, larger and sharper, more for cutting than piercing.
