Boom!
Slashing down with enough power to create a sonic boom, Bai Yan’s attack left the elder pale white as he rapidly dodged backwards in order to save himself. However, due to the suddenness of it all, Senior Yue was now disheveled and messy looking after regaining his footing.
“Who the hell are you?” The elder asks with narrowed eyes.
Bai Yan still didn’t answer the question, she only wants to kill them all because they’re the reason her daughter was dying. Then without any signal, she charges into the trapped crowd at lightning speed. Wherever her blade swung was when a human fell. Ruthless and without mercy, she’s truly a death god right now as her Godslayer reaped the life out of these people.
“Those who caused my daughter’s death all deserve to die!”
I don’t care if these people are accomplices or not, the very fact they’re here is enough! They will pay for what they did!
Now it’s finally dawned on the old bastard that he’s made a terrible mistake. Up until they point Senior Yue still believed Bai Yan to be not a huge threat and that he could overcome her with everyone present, but his underestimating would be his own undoing as he kept retreating and retreating against that endless assault.
“What should we do now Senior Yue?” A young-looking man asks with pale complexion after losing a arm. This individual also noticed the huge gap in power and sought help.
“How am I supposed to know? This woman is simply crazy in the head, it’s not like we killed her daughter or anything.”
That’s right, in the old bastard’s head he’s not responsible for Dragony’s current state. Rather, it’s the girl herself who self-destructed so the blame doesn’t lie with them. Bai Yan has no qualification or right to attack them at all!
“But Senior Yue, a lot of the men we brought along are now dead because of her!” Gritting his teeth, the young anxious man forces out the one thought he had, “Why don’t you go apologize? Although that dragon girl wasn’t personally slain by your hands, it’s still partly your fault that she committed suicide. Just admit to the crime Senior Yue, then all of us can escape after we quell that woman’s anger.”
This was an act of desperation to even suggest such a thing for the individual. He wants to flee like everyone else here, but Bai Yan had already sealed their escape route by placing a sea of flame in a circling formation, making it impossible to run without suffering incredible damage or even their life.
Getting sharp in his old eyes: “Have me apologize? Are you listening to yourself? Which fault did I do? How can you be so cowardly?!”
The young man’s expression promptly got ugly after hearing that rebuke, and with good reason. They only came to search for someone at the offer of a reward, not to put their lives on the line and die! The other side was clearly provoked by Senior Yue himself so the men gathered didn’t want to pay the price for the mistake of someone else.
“Now that’s where you’re wrong Senior Yue. Yes, we accepted your deal of helping you, but the deal only involved us searching out the dragon girl. Why should we risk our lives when we never offered it? How about this, you go and prove to that woman that the rest of us are innocent.”
The old timer sneered: “Hmph, you think it’s going to be that easy? You’ve all accepted my deal so I expect you to carry out your work without hassle! Don’t think there’s no risk after taking advantage of my offer. If I can’t escape from this today then none of you will!”
