190 My Responsibility; My Protection! (1/2)

Some of the dead men were only wounded lightly on the skin. Yet such a small wound had actually made them die with their blood veins frozen.

That was much further than what Ye Xiao expected.

He knew that although his gelid power was marvelous, it had different influences to people in different cultivation levels. It worked perfectly on those who were under the eighth level of the Earth Origin Stage. It could kill them instantly with only one strike.

When dealing with the Sky Origin cultivators, its efficacy decreased more when the enemy was stronger. When he was fighting against Liu Changjun, he needed to continually make attacks to make him suffer the negative effects like freezing and paralysis. It was difficult to completely freeze him though.

Liu Changjun was merely at about the fifth level of the Sky Origin Stage. For people like Ning Biluo, Guan Zhengwen and the Master Sun of the royal house who were at the grandmaster levels of the Sky Origin Stage, Ye Xiao reckoned that his gelid power could barely hurt them.

The strongest one of those men who were chasing him had merely half the cultivation capability of Liu Changjun. Ye Xiao's gelid power could surely work perfectly. However, there were just too many people. And he had to keep them around to save Su Yeyue. His strength would be decreased when he was distracted. That was why it was difficult for him to make a perfect outcome from using the gelid power.

Yet it turned out to be a perfect outcome.

There was only one reason for that. The Sky Demonic Steel on the Demonic Weapons met the blood with the gelid qi and produced a huge damage.

That was the only reason Ye Xiao could unexpectedly hurt the enemies like that.

That meant he could create a lot more fighting strategies with the Demonic Weapons.

Such thought only came to his mind for seconds.

Because the enemies were taking their moves again.

Ye Xiao had no time to think more about other things with the enemies coming over to him.

Three grandmaster level cultivators at the Earth Origin Stage surrounded Ye Xiao and stood in a triangle. One of the Sky Origin Stage cultivators joined them and kept suppressing Ye Xiao. The others just stood aside looking at them with utmost concentration. When they think that something was wrong, they would all strike out and stop Ye Xiao.

They knew it was the territory of the Kingdom of Chen after all, so they wanted to end it quickly, and they just couldn't care about any martial world rules.

If it was too narrow where they fought and they couldn't all attack together, it would take some time to take down Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao didn't panic. He calmly dealt with the attacks from the enemies. He kept defending it with his shiny golden hand and didn't step back even a bit.

He knew the limit of his own capability, and he was sure that Su Yeyue wouldn't be discovered if she was not stupid. But he just wanted to hold the enemies as long as he could so that Su Yeyue could have a bigger chance to survive.

Ye Xiao always cherished his own life.

He had been isolated all his previous life being a dominator. He cared about who obeyed him and abandoned those who defied him. He would fight when he needed to and would also cut and run when things were hopeless to him.

He wouldn't care about anything or anyone.

However, he actually chose to stake his life so that Su Yeyue would have the chance to survive.

It was impossible and unbelievable for the Xiao Monarch in his previous life.

At the moment, even though he knew he might die if he insisted pushing Su Yeyue to a safer place, he didn't feel wrong about it.

Instead... he was decisive.

[It is my responsibility. A man's responsibility.]

He said so to himself in his mind.

It was a foolish move in most people's eyes though.

But he felt that he had spiritually improved a lot when he did that.

[A man without responsibility will never go any higher and further. It was the basic rule that a man should keep in his life.

Responsibility comes first before the life and death. That was the only way not to disgrace oneself as a human being.

And that was the only way not to disgrace oneself as a real man.]

He was proud of himself at the moment.

The enemies were attacking like crazy from all directions. Ye Xiao kept defending and dodging while taking chances to fight back. The Demonic Weapons showed up in his hands from now and then and his face turned fierce.

Every time when the black glow appeared, the enemies escaped.

The way the others had died earlier had truly left them a deep impression. Nobody wanted that thing to happen on themselves.

Everybody had only one life. Ye Xiao might be careless about his life at the moment, yet they were still quite cherishing their own.

No matter how they tried to be careful, one or two of them would fall down when Ye Xiao struck out his weapons.

The flying needles were nearly invisible. They were also vicious. Ye Xiao had never thrown them to those Sky Origin Stage cultivators, because he had no confidence to kill them by that.

He would rather killed as many as he could before he died.

So his needles never missed.

Whoever was hit by the needles would die for sure.
