C36 (1/2)
Fortunately, Meng Yu had stopped.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Meng Yu was greatly shocked in his heart, ”This is the power of Fetal Origin Stage?”
The sword strike he used with his sword just now had already used 90% of its power, and this was still not enough to block that Sabre Wave.
”Junior apprentice-brother.”
Xia Ting ran over and used her hands to support Meng Yu. ”How are you?”
Meng Yu laughed mournfully, ”Right now, it's not a big deal, but that man did not use his full strength, and there is still a man and woman coming from the back, I'm afraid this time, we are going to die here!”
The reality was cruel, but when Meng Yu said those words, there was still a trace of unwillingness.
If he died, who would lead Meng Family out of the quagmire? How could he attend that heartless woman's Groom Search Competition? How to prove to the world that she was unworthy of him?
Xia Ting's expression turned gloomy. She never thought that what seemed like a simple sect mission would actually be fraught with numerous dangers!
”Senior sister, it's not over yet, don't give up before the final moment. I'm here! ”
Seeing Xia Ting's downcast expression, Meng Yu comforted him.
His words were very gentle, as if they had a magical power to them, restoring the girl's confidence.
She raised her delicate oval face and looked at the youth. For the first time, she felt a sense of being cared for.
”En!” She nodded heavily. Her small hands unconsciously grabbed the young man's arm, and followed him as she continuously retreated.
In the span of a few breaths after their conversation, the old man's face revealed an evil grin as he closed in on them step by step. He walked towards them together with the man and woman that had just caught up to them.
”Senior Sister,” Meng Yu sent a sound transmission to her, ”Behind us is the Fallen Swamp. What method do you have to cross it? Using Silver Shark Martial Soul? ”
Xia Ting replied, ”Yes.”
”Alright. In a while, you will use the Silver Shark Martial Soul to escape into the Fallen Swamp, I will stop them here. The faster you run, the better. ”
Tell her to run?
Xia Ting never thought that he would actually say such a thing.
He wanted her to run for her life alone, while he stayed behind to prevent her from escaping!
”No.” Xia Ting flatly refused, ”I can't do this kind of thing.”
”You must do it.” Meng Yu said, ”The two of us will split up and escape, there's a chance for us to survive.”
Is he serious?
Xia Ting shook her head, grinded her teeth and said, ”Junior Brother, you don't need to say anymore. I won't run away alone. ”Die, we will die together.”
”Die, we will die together.” Meng Yu muttered.
He suddenly felt that even though he had been abandoned by an ingrate woman, he had met three girls who had treated him very well. They were Su Yuyan, Fener and the Xia Ting in front of him.
In fact, the heavens were not bad to him.
Along the way, he and Xia Ting had experienced several dangerous times. The two of them supported each other, but actually, they had already built up enough trust.
Xia Ting's eyes became moist.
A nightmarish image flashed in her mind: the great man who had taken her and her mother to flee in the midst of a horde of fierce, murderous bullies ten years before.
That man who was as imposing as a mountain killed many of the pursuers, and at the very last moment, he sent the mother and son into the small boat that was headed towards the ”Golden Sea”. Until his clothes were covered in blood, until he was covered in arrows and sabers, until he could not hold his sword, when the great man turned to them, smiled, and slowly fell.
After all these years, the only person who could protect himself with their life other than that great man was the young man in front of them.
Meng Yu did not know what the girl beside him was thinking.
The reason why he allowed the girl to escape first was not because he, Meng Yu, was great. It was because he had made this choice after careful deliberation.
