152 Gone Through a Rough Time (1/2)
Back outside in the border region, Yang Wu Huang and the other two finally stopped, looking over their shoulders with some panic. Originally, they had thought that there would only be a handful of demonic cultivators if they messed with that place. Who knew that there would actually be so many and even several with such a high cultivation base?
Di Huan Bo patted his chest, sighing deeply. ”Oh, that scared me! I really wouldn't have thought that there would be so many of them.”
Yang Wu Huang furrowed his brows, looking at the direction they had come from with a difficult expression. These demonic cultivators seem to have totally ignored them. He couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive because of that. Was there some plan that the other side had? Did they actually want to let some of them escape? It certainly looked like that judging from what had just happened.
He wouldn't dare to go and try to find out more though. No, it was better if he continued with his own plan. For one, only this way would he be able to follow through with making a difficult for Mei Chao Bing, and second, only this way would he be able to earn some merits for himself. He didn't have the time to care about what the demonic practitioners wanted.
”We made it out alive. And we fast enough that we didn't get injured. Now, we definitely need to speed up to catch with to Mei Chao Bing's group. In the end, even though there were more of them than we expected, that was still to our advantage. If some of the others make it back to the town, what they say will make it sound as if we really had no other choice. That is very good.”
Ao Jing nodded, also seeming a little uncomfortable but he did keep in mind what was important right now. ”We'll have to make sure that it doesn't look like we escaped unscathed.”
Yang Wu Huang nodded. That was precisely what he had meant the other time when he told them that at least one of them would have to suffer a bit for this. Turning to Di Huan Bo he raised his brows. ”I'm afraid I'll have to wrong you.”
Di Huan Bo looked from Yang Wu Huang to Ao Jing and gulped. ”That … Why me though? Can't Ao Jing do this?”
Ao Jing just smiled at that and gave a scoff. ”Your cultivation level is the lowest. It wouldn't make sense for the demonic cultivators to injure me instead of you. You should stay realistic.”
Di Huan Bo pressed his lips together, unable to refute what he said. Yes, unfortunately, this was true. The person with the lowest level should be the one who would be injured the most. ”Well, just don't forget that I did this for you.”
Yang Wu Huang gave him a smile. ”But of course not. I know that this is a huge sacrifice. But don't worry. It will all be worth it in the end.” He took out his weapon and then attacked.
