The land of the Yan people, at the peak of a mountain in the desert!
"Are we all going to die?" Kōjirō muttered to himself as he looked at the few remaining people around him. His face was filled with despair and fear.
Of the dozens of Sky Clan members who had come to congratulate the Flame Clan, only Kong Shan, Kong Hao, and a few young Sky Clan members who had a good relationship with Kong Huanqing remained. There were less than ten of them left.
There were also Shi Jiuxiao, You Xiao, Chi Yan, and dozens of other geniuses who had been chasing after Kōjirō. They had been running for their lives until now and were lucky enough to survive. Now, they had gathered together with Kōjirō and the others to fight for survival.
"Rustle rustle rustle!" "Rustle rustle rustle!" "Rustle rustle rustle!"
All of a sudden, a hair-raising grinding sound rang out. Kong Huan Qing and the others saw countless Gu worms crawling up the mountain. In the sky, there were even more Gu worms swarming towards them like dark clouds!
Everyone was about to die here, just like the countless others who had already died.
"Kill!"
Seeing the countless Gu worms, Shi Jiuxiao, You Xiao, and Chi Yan's eyes turned red. Their expressions were ferocious as they roared and used all their strength to kill all the Gu worms, regardless of whether it was useful or not.
Among the others, there were some who fought with Shi Jiuxiao, You Xiao, and Chi Yan, but there were also some who were in complete despair. They didn't even have the courage to fight. Their bodies went limp as they waited for death to descend.
"Ahhh!" "Ahhh!" "Ahhh!"
Whether they fought back crazily or waited for death, the result was the same. Miserable cries rang out from the crowd as the Gu worms drilled into their bodies and began to devour their flesh.
"Qing'er, retreat!"
Kong Shan firmly protected Kōjirō. His body trembled as he shouted.
But suddenly!
A Gu worm leaped towards Kong Hao. In his panic, Kong Hao was like a drowning man grasping at straws. He frantically grabbed at the side in an attempt to block it.
And this grab of his actually caught Kong Huanqing's arm. So, caught off guard, Kong Huanqing was actually pulled out from behind Kong Shan by Kong Hao. Then, Kong Hao threw her towards the Gu worm, using her as a shield.
"Kong Hao, I'll kill you!"
Such a shocking turn of events caused Kong Shan's white hair to stand on end. He was incomparably shocked and furious as he let out a deafening roar.
Kōjirō's parents had died early, and Kong Shan had always treated Kōjirō as the apple of his eye. Although he had planned to let Kōjirō to warm Xiao Fan's bed, that was for the benefit of the entire Sky Tribe..
At this moment, in the face of life and death, Kong Shan had to protect Kōjirō even if he had to risk his own life.
But he never thought that while he was trying his best to protect Kōjirō, Kong Hao would take advantage of him and put Kōjirō into a desperate situation, about to die.
Seeing that his granddaughter was about to die under the Gu worm, Kong Shan was furious. Although he wanted to kill Kong Hao to vent his anger, it was clear that now was not the time to attack Kong Hao. He desperately rushed out to save Kōjirō.
But!
In the face of Kōjirō falling into a desperate situation, only Kong Shan rushed out. When the others saw this, including the young Sky Tribe women who had a good relationship with Kōjirō, none of them moved. Many of their faces were expressionless. Even the most basic expressions of sympathy, pity, and helplessness could not be seen.
Shi Jiuxiao, You Xiao, and Chi Yan's expressions changed. They subconsciously moved as if they wanted to rush out to save Kōjirō, but facing the countless Gu worms in front of them, they could only smile bitterly. Then, they stopped and helplessly watched as Kōjirō was about to die under the Gu worms.
In the face of all this, Kōjirō, who was still in the air, suddenly felt his body turn cold. The despair on his face could not be seen, leaving only a deep stupefaction.
Reality had taught Kōjirō a good lesson!
In the face of death, what was real and what was fake!
"So, this is human nature!" Kōjirō looked up at the sky, his heart filled with bitterness. He muttered to himself, "All the thousands of words can't compare to the word death!"
"And in this world, the only family I have is my grandfather!"
"Of course, I can't blame them, because I was only using them for vanity and vanity. Now that they treat me like this, I can only blame myself!"
"I deserve it!"
Kōjirō slowly closed his eyes, his heart filled with endless sorrow and desolation as he welcomed death!
But at this moment!
"Boom!"
A huge illusory foot suddenly descended from the sky, trampling all the Gu worms in the surroundings to death. The entire mountain trembled from the stomp, temporarily saving everyone.
Kōjirō was also saved. Kong Shan rushed over and held in his hand, safe and sound.
Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in the sky, everyone was stunned. They muttered to themselves in shock, almost unable to believe their eyes.
No one thought that Xiao Fan would actually save their lives.
"I promised to resolve the matter of your Sky clan's ten thousand year death calamity, so you people of the Sky clan cannot die today!" Xiao Fan spoke, nodding to Kōjirō and everyone, his voice calm.
The figure in the sky was not Xiao Fan's main body, but a phantom of Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan's main body was still using the Nine Underworlds Diagram to accumulate energy, preparing to kill all the Gu worms in one strike. At this moment, he saw that Kōjirō, Kong Shan, and the others were about to die, so he sent a phantom over.
"Many thanks to Young Master Xiao for saving our lives!" Kong Shan directly knelt down, his body trembling. It was unclear whether it was because of excitement or fear, but he repeatedly kowtowed.
The phantom Xiao Fan raised his hand and directly grabbed Kong Shan and Kōjirō, nodding and saying, "Come with me!"
"And the three of you!" After grabbing Kong Shan and Kōjirō, the phantom Xiao Fan looked at Shi Jiuxiao, You Xiao, and Chi Yan, and said again, "In the face of life and death, you still have a trace of humanity, so you should live today!"
As his voice fell, the phantom Xiao Fan raised his hand again, grabbing Shi Jiuxiao, You Xiao, and Chi Yan, and then brought the five of them back to Xiao Fan's main body.
As for the others, Xiao Fan did not care at all, because they had no reason to be saved by Xiao Fan. So whether they lived or died today, it was up to their own fate.
However, before he left, the illusionary Xiao Fan pointed his finger at Kong Hao's head, directly crushing Kong Hao's head and killing him on the spot. Then, he left for good.
In the face of life and death, using others as a shield, such a person should be killed!
"No, don't go …!"
The remaining people looked at the backs of the phantom Xiao Fan leaving with Kōjirō, Kong Shan, Shi Jiuxiao, You Xiao, and Chi Yan, and were stunned for a moment. Then, they all screamed, their faces full of begging.
But Xiao Fan was already far away, no matter how much they screamed, it was useless.
