Gu Yigu not only could not retreat, but instead moved forward.
This time, it was as if he had taken all the attacks on himself.
A single strike from the heavenly demon was something Gu Yigu could not withstand, let alone the serious injuries he had already sustained previously. As soon as they made contact, he was heavily injured, and his combat power sharply decreased!
However, his goal had already been achieved; he stepped forward with the sole purpose of protecting Tan Tan, that was all.
The heavenly demon let out a sinister laugh, its massive hand closed around Gu Yigu’s hand, and with a casual squeeze!
However, the sound of cracking echoed continuously as Gu Yigu's arms were completely shattered.
He screamed in agony, almost as if he were about to tear out his heart, shouting: "Holy King! Hurry and leave..."
With both his hands broken, he no longer had the strength to attack, and was still in the enemy's grasp, but he still had his legs, and could counterattack. Even if it was a futile effort, he would make the most of it!
His legs lifted off the ground, a whirlwind of hundreds of kicks rained down upon the heavenly demon.
The heavenly demon let out a roar of anger; one hand grabbed Gu Yigu's broken arms while the other hand struck violently against Gu Yigu's chest like a clap of thunder.
Almost simultaneously, Gu Yigu's hundreds of kicks landed on the heavenly demon's chest like a war drum. Under such a desperate counterattack, the heavenly demon's body couldn't help but lurch backward.
It was because of this desperate counter that the strike to Gu Yigu's chest didn't land fully.
However, even without the full force, that power was still devastating. With a crack, Gu Yigu let out a cry as his chest instantly caved in, but he continued to shout: "Holy King... hurry and leave..."
The heavenly demon casually threw Gu Yigu's body aside, ignoring this powerless man. If he did not die, he would only hinder the owner of the supreme demon body, not letting go easily. It then took large strides toward Tan Tan.
Yet, there was a trickle of black blood oozing from the corner of its mouth, a result of Gu Yigu fighting with his life on the line.
The heavenly demon was furious.
It was utterly unexpected that with its cultivation level, facing a few ants from the Nine Heavens, it would actually be injured!
It seemed it was time to end this quickly.
Suddenly, shadows flickered as the remaining five Holy Clan Elders flew up to intercept, all shouting in unison: "Holy King! You must leave!"
Then these five individuals charged toward the heavenly demon without hesitation, just like Gu Yigu had done moments ago.
The five stood shoulder to shoulder, their eyes wide with fury, desperately shouting as they gathered all their life’s cultivation into a single strike, risking everything!
At this moment, they all shared a single thought: Holy King, hurry and leave! As long as you are alive, even if we are killed, our bodies shattered, our spirits destroyed, and suffer an irreversible calamity, it is worth it!
If it weren't for Tan Tan being so close to everyone, these individuals would have launched self-destructive attacks without hesitation. But now they could only fight to the death with their lives!
The heavenly demon cackled with a sharp killing intent, kicking out violently. The shadow of that foot lingered in the air but had actually solidly struck one of the Holy Clan Elders in the chest.
With a crack, a large hole was kicked through the elder's chest, yet he tightly clutched the heavenly demon’s foot, desperately pleading: "Holy King... why aren’t you leaving? Hurry and leave..."
The heavenly demon’s right hand shot out rapidly, colliding with another elder's palm.
With a deafening boom, that elder's hand was instantly crushed to pieces, and with the residual force, his arm shattered upwards, before the heavenly demon forcibly slammed him, hand and all, into his own chest!
As blood and flesh flew, the Three Star Holy Clan Elder screamed: "Holy King! Hurry and leave!"
