Tan Tan was on the verge of spitting blood. How could his subordinates be such fools? Did they only grow muscles and not brains?!
His intention to escape was to lure the enemy away, allowing Gu Yigu and the others to be safe for the time being. With just himself left, he could be much more flexible. Moreover, seeing that the heavenly demon's attention was unusually focused on him, it was likely that he possessed something the demon yearned for. Leading it away was the highest strategy at the moment.
To take a step back, even if he ultimately died at the hands of the enemy, it would still mean that no subordinates or brothers would die in front of him. For Tan Tan and perhaps for the Holy King of the holy clan, this was the most important thing!
In his previous life, the great calamity that struck the world tens of thousands of years ago was still fresh in the memory of the Three Star Holy King. He could somewhat accept everything else, but what he could never accept was that his loyal subordinates died for him.
Yet today, he was faced with such a formidable enemy, and once again, his brothers fought desperately against the enemy to buy him time!
With a roar of anger, Tan Tan turned around and charged back!
He rushed towards the battlefield where the heavenly demon and Gu Yigu were.
His heart was ablaze with enthusiasm.
If he was to die, so be it! After all, this time, I will fight to the death and will not escape!
However, Chu Yang, you must not come!
As Tan Tan charged, he was filled with infinite regret.
He regretted nothing else but his earlier cry for help. He hadnât anticipated that the enemy would be this strong, so strong that there was no chance of victory. Originally, he thought that with Chu Yang and the others coming, along with himself, they could handle any formidable opponent.
But now it seemed⌠the situation was entirely different; this heavenly demon was simply too powerful!
Even if Chu Yang and the others arrived in time, with everyone working together, there was still an eighty to ninety percent chance they would not be able to withstand this heavenly demon. This guy's strength had clearly surpassed the limits of this space!
If Chu Yang came, it would only be a death sentence! Soâ
He must not come!
Tan Tan roared in his heart, the entire person turning into a streak of black light, rapidly dashing into the fray! A cold gleam flashed from his sleeve, and the longsword that Chu Yang had carefully tailored for him appeared in his hand. Just as the swordâs tip glimmered, Tan Tan poured all his energy, spirit, and cultivation level into it. In an instant, the sword transformed into thunder!
A fierce stream of light shot towards the heavenly demon, never to return!
âHoly King!â Gu Yigu cried out loudly, his voice filled with sorrow. As he shouted, he suddenly spewed out a blood arrow.
In just the brief moment of contact, the heavenly demon had almost transformed into a monster with countless arms, attacking the six people blocking its path with reckless abandon. Gu Yigu and the others had no intention of dodging, because they knew that if they avoided it, the heavenly demon would immediately chase after Tan Tan. The group fought tooth and nail, but while their fighting spirit was commendable, their cultivation levels were still far inferior. In a short time, everyone had sustained serious injuries. If it weren't for Tan Tan's timely return, it was highly likely that all six of them would have embarked on the journey to the Yellow Springs in the next moment.
Tan Tan refused to abandon them, turning back to confront the strong enemy without regard for the cost. How could the others abandon him? After tens of thousands of years of hardship, the Three Star Holy Clan was on the brink of extinction! Only with the Holy King at the helm, leading the clan out of the frozen wasteland, could they finally escape from despair.
They could sacrifice their lives, but they must ensure the safety of the Holy King. Only with the Holy King safe would the Three Star Holy Clan have hope!
