Under the onslaught of assaults from the despicable monarch, Di Cang continues to repel the attacks one after the other. Heâs showing blood along the lips, but never once had the demon king waivered under the pressure.
On the contrary, Willowâs cold hard determination to silence the stain in her name had started to crumble instead.
Di Cang is obviously still injured so why is he able to resist me for this long? If this continues, that woman will soon finish her refinement of the cure to my drug! I canât let this drag on, I must finish thisâ¦.
âEveryone attack now, kill the woman first!â Willowâs wretched voice screeches out, ordering the battle maids under her control to charge in droves.
That finally destabilized Di Cangâs reserved heart after hearing those words. Heâs had enough trouble fending off the monarch, itâs only going to get worse with more hands to look out for. âIf you dare lay a single finger on her then I will never let any of you go!â
Willow felt suffocating over that threat. Gritting her teeth until her lip was bleeding, âAll of you attack now! I want her dead this instant!â
Boom!
Anger surged out from the demon kingâs heart, thus causing a hurricane to surge around his body to act as a shield.
Yanâer is mine, no one is allowed near her!
âDi Cang, you deal with that monarch, I will handle these rabbles.â Itâs then that Mo Li Shangâs voice came from the rear again, âI wonât let anyone touch or harm herâ¦.â
Di Cangâs back stiffened so slightly before he glanced around to face the teenâs determined face, âAlright!â
â¦â¦
Mo Li Shang stood next to Bai Yan with firm eyes as he watched the horde of foes charge at him. The teen didnât fret, nor did he show fear. Instead, he raised a hand and summoned out a sword to brandish it towards the horde of opponents charging at him.
Boom!
Willow bladeâs chopped down relentlessly at the wind storm created by Di Cang and created shockwave after shockwave.
âNo!â Seeing that the monarchâs killing intent was getting stronger and stronger, Mo Xin Yan who was hiding behind the courtyard charged over with her own sword and intervened.
âShifu, are you really going to kill him?â She bit her lips tightly with tears flowing down those eyes, âYou forget how much you loved him? Are you really going to kill the man you love the most?â
Willowâs action stopped at the intervention. Staring down at her student, the woman sharply snaps out, âThis is my business, get out of my way.â
âNo, Shifu, you canât kill him!â The tears in Mo Xin Yanâs eyes poured out like a river as she repelled another swing from the monarch, âPlease let him go, okay?â
This rebellious behavior obviously surprised Willow to no end. Gazing down at her once obedient student with a scrutinizing glare, âXin Yan, have you forgotten what I said to you before?â
That finally brought a bit of sense back into the lass whoâs lost in the heat of the moment.
