Not far away, the siblings were running towards the villagers with shovels and hatchets.
When the villagers saw the siblings, surprise appeared on their faces. This was because when they were running away, they saw with their own eyes that it was Old Man Li who pushed Gu Xiaoxiao in front of Blood Shadow and then ran away alone.
But why didn't Gu Xiaoxiao die? Why was she still alive?
"It's that person who saved Xiaoxiao. I saw him send the monster flying with my own eyes," a villager shouted excitedly as he pointed at Ye Xuan in the distance, his eyes filled with hope.
"That's right. It's the person Xiaoxiao took in. He saved Xiaoxiao. The monster is afraid of him. He can definitely save us," a village girl said excitedly.
As the villagers shouted excitedly, the despairing atmosphere eased a little. Old Man Li, who was in the crowd, looked embarrassed and ashamed, but there was also excitement in his eyes.
"Xiaoxiao, I've let you down. Can you forgive me?"
As soon as the siblings arrived in front of the villagers, Old Man Li wept bitterly and knelt in front of Gu Xiaoxiao. He kept kowtowing and apologizing to her, making people feel extremely pitiful at first glance.
"You scum, how can you do such a heartless thing? How can you let Xiaoxiao down? "
"That's right. I've always respected you, but you've done such a thing. It's really shameful."
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry. When this monster leaves, we'll definitely seek justice for you."
Many of the villagers spoke out and patted their chests in guarantee. Old Man Li kept kowtowing and apologizing to Gu Xiaoxiao amidst the curses.
"Old Man Li, get up. I really don't blame you. Maybe you were just anxious. After all, people do irrational things when they're in danger."
Gu Xiaoxiao bit her lips and helped Old Man Li up. This made the villagers praise Gu Xiaoxiao for being a kind child.
At this moment!
Ye Xuan stood in the distance. When he saw this scene, his eyes were extremely strange, and a trace of a contemptuous smile curled up from the corner of his mouth.
"Human nature is so despicable, but you're stupid and ignorant. Let me see when you'll wake up," Ye Xuan muttered in a low voice.
Kekeke!
Blood Shadow was laughing sinisterly, but he did not pounce at the villagers. Instead, he kept an eye on Ye Xuan's movements. If this terrifying human wanted to attack him, he could only run away pathetically. After all, Blood Shadow could sense that he was no match for this human.
However, even though Blood Shadow lacked intelligence, Ye Xuan did not attack him even after such a long time had passed. He could sense that this terrifying human did not seem to have any intention of stopping him.
Blood Shadow walked towards the villagers step by step. He was also testing Ye Xuan's intentions. When he was less than a hundred meters away from the villagers and discovered that Ye Xuan still did not move, Blood Shadow finally relaxed. A cruel and terrifying bloody light erupted from his body.
"Food … My food …"
Seeing Blood Shadow approaching them step by step, the villagers' faces changed. Only then did they realize that Ye Xuan was standing in the distance and did not move at all. This made a large number of villagers anxiously ask Gu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, quickly beg this master to kill this monster."
"He won't help us," Gu Xiaoxiao said with a bitter smile in the face of the villagers' pleas.
"Wh … Why?" A villager screamed.
"Because he's a heartless person," Gu Xiaoxiao murmured sadly.
Puchi!
Suddenly, just as the villagers were stunned, a terrifying bloody hand pierced through a villager's chest. A blood-curdling scream was heard, and the glaring blood made the villagers scream in horror.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxiao was fearless. She shouted, "Villagers, we can't count on anyone. Let's fight this monster to the death today."
Gu Xiaoxiao's face was pale, but she still stood out with a hatchet in her hand. Her eyes were filled with determination.
"Are you f * cking kidding me? What do you want us to fight with?"
"We can't kill this monster at all. Don't think too highly of yourself."
Many villagers scolded and retreated continuously. They no longer had the humble attitude of trying to curry favor with Gu Xiaoxiao.
However, there was a bottomless river behind them. They had no way to retreat at all.
Looking at the angry faces of the villagers, Gu Xiaoxiao's face was pale. She never thought that these kind villagers would become like this. Were they still the villagers of Little River Village she knew?
"Ah!"
"Don't … Don't kill me."
While Gu Xiaoxiao was in a daze, Blood Shadow made his move cruelly. The villagers' corpses fell at his feet. A large amount of Blood Soul Essence was devoured by him, turning them into dried corpses.
When the villagers saw their companions die tragically in the hands of Blood Shadow, the fear in their hearts seemed to drive them crazy.
People would either explode in silence or perish in despair.
No one wanted to die. Even the villagers of Little River Village were no exception.
And once a person went crazy, they could do anything.
"You d * mn girl, come here."
Suddenly, a sinister growl was heard. Old Man Li took two steps and quickly came in front of Gu Xiaoxiao. Before Gu Xiaoxiao could react, he snatched the hatchet from her hand and quickly placed it on Gu Xiaoxiao's throat.
He then held Gu Xiaoxiao hostage and turned to Ye Xuan to roar, "If you don't want her to die, chase this monster away. Otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for killing this d * mn girl."
This scene made Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes glaze over. It was as if her soul had left her body. It was as if she had turned into a marionette, allowing Old Man Li to hold her hostage. A line of clear tears flowed from her eyes.
"Let go of my sister."
The young man, Gu Beichen, shouted in panic. He raised his fist and punched Old Man Li. However, before he could reach Old Man Li, he was kicked to the ground.
"Little bastard, if you dare to cause trouble again, Lao Tzu will kill your sister first." Old Man Li's face was ferocious and his eyes were filled with madness.
At this moment!
All the villagers had gone crazy. They quickly came to Old Man Li's side and shouted, "Well done, Old Man Li. Since this person doesn't want to save us, we'll kill this d * mn girl."
"That's right. Even if we die, we'll drag someone down with us."
The villagers had completely forgotten their previous attitude. At this moment, they had all turned into inhumane beasts. They even held Gu Xiaoxiao hostage and looked at Ye Xuan. It was obvious that they wanted him to kill this monster if he didn't want Gu Xiaoxiao to die.
"Master, we just want to live. We don't mean to threaten you. As long as you chase this monster away, we'll let her go immediately." Old Man Li roared loudly, and the villagers all agreed.
