Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, two tall, dark figures slowly disappeared into the distance. When they left, a young man with a determined expression carefully walked out of a pile of rocks. Behind him, there was a group of people who were dressed similarly.
They carried long swords on their backs and had solemn expressions. Moreover, they had traces of long-term swordsmanship training. They looked at Yatoku and Laast's footsteps and tracks that they didn't even try to hide, and discussed what they should do uneasily. This was because they had received orders from the elders to come here and provide support. The monks and mages who were guarding and sealing the ancient evil had sent a warning and request for help from their dojo to help them guard an evil weapon.
But it was apparent that they were too late. When they arrived at the designated time, all they saw were corpses strewn all over the ground, as well as two burly figures emanating terrifying dark magic, swaggering away into the distance.
"Yong En, should we …"
Several of the disciples looked at Yatoku, whose back could be vaguely seen in the distance, then looked at the swordsman leading them and made a throat-cutting gesture. Their movements were as swift as ever, but their bodies were trembling constantly. That was why Yong En, who knew that they were scared out of their wits, didn't give the order to pursue. Instead, he shook his head.
"… Our duty is to protect this temple. But now, our mission doesn't exist anymore. Besides, who among you thinks that you can go against the guardians of the entire holy land? "
He saw the uneasiness in his fellow disciples' hearts, so he tried his best to be tactful. But just when everyone heaved a sigh of relief and felt fortunate that they didn't have to chase after the terrifying creatures, a sneer sounded.
"You're afraid, right, Yong En?"
A man wearing a bamboo hat smiled and raised his head, revealing his unbridled smile. The people around him turned to him one after another. They witnessed the most talented swordsman who surpassed them in terms of age and training time. Not only that, but he also successfully mastered the Wind Swordsmanship that no one except Elder Soma could master. Her words caused many of her fellow disciples to frown or lower their heads, because fear had indeed appeared in their hearts.
"Honor the dead, Yasuo. Moreover, they are very powerful and have terrifying magic. Therefore, the best way is to ask for help and gather people from other sects to deal with this matter together. "
Yong En frowned and looked discontentedly at his younger brother, who was proud of his talent. He knew very well what his younger brother wanted to do. He wanted to show off the Imperial Wind Swordsmanship that he had obtained through sloppy practice in front of everyone. He wanted to show off his talent once again and gain glory in front of a group of trembling mortals and idiots so that he could brag to his heart's content while drinking in the tavern!
"If they were strong enough, why would they invite us here?"
And that was indeed what Yasuo thought. He casually carried his saber on his shoulder and looked at his big brother who couldn't defeat him. His big brother's face darkened because of the truth that he revealed. Then, Yasuo added, "You're right. You're right. You're right.
"So, if we don't fight, how will we know if we can take revenge for these people immediately?"
His words were rather sharp, as though he was criticizing Yong En for being too cowardly and letting go of the best opportunity. On the other hand, Yong En naturally received his younger brother's malice and gave his advice to Yasuo as usual.
"Be careful with your words and actions, Little Brother. You must learn to be humble. The elder guarding this place is on par with me in terms of strength and even he was killed by those people. Do you think their strength is weak? I'm the person in charge of this operation, so I have to be responsible for everyone's safety. So many people have died and I don't want to see my friends and brothers get hurt anymore. "
Yasuo's body trembled. What he hated the most in his life was Yong En preaching like a steady elder. Yong En's words were obviously biased and biased. It was almost as if he was saying that if their fellow disciples were injured, it would be his responsibility.
This kind of accusation and groundless guilt made Yasuo extremely unhappy, which was why he rebuked his big brother directly.
"But you couldn't beat me a long time ago, right? My dear big brother. "
Yasuo's words were as sharp as a blade. As the elder brother, Yong En fell silent instantly. Because as the elder brother, he couldn't accept the fact that he was far inferior to his sloppy younger brother in terms of talent and ability. He felt that in the absence of a father, he should be the one standing at the forefront of the family and making the greatest contribution to the family.
But it was a pity that he had always been crushed by his younger brother's talent. Besides …
More or less, he resented his half-brother because his father left the family without saying goodbye, causing his mother to fall into a long period of sorrow and inferiority.
Of course, his feelings of pity for his younger brother naturally exceeded the resentment.
However, the battle between the two brothers made the surrounding people nervous. They didn't have Yasuo's talent or Yong En's diligence. Even though their swordsmanship was among the best in the area, they weren't that foolish to think that they could take on the legendary ancient monsters. Therefore, for a moment, almost everyone looked at Yasuo with dissatisfaction because his words included them as well.
"In that case, it seems like we can't act together, my dear big brother."
Yasuo also noticed this at this time. Although he sometimes looked down on these clumsy guys, he had to admit that his friendship with them was really good. Therefore, Yasuo didn't want to embarrass himself or embarrass his senior and junior brothers. Therefore, he revealed a provocative expression to his big brother.
In his opinion, since things had turned out this way, he would let this matter end with a conflict between the brothers. Everything was a battle between the brothers and not because his senior and junior brothers were timid.
"I will report this to Elder Suma."
Yong En took a deep breath and tried his best not to quarrel with Yasuo in front of his peers. However, the anger in his heart couldn't help but grow. But his words had completely ignited the flames of anger in Yasuo's heart.
"That's all you know."
After saying this coldly, Yasuo no longer allowed himself to look at Yong En's ugly expression. Instead, he chased after Yasuo's group alone.
Yong En let out a helpless sigh. After instructing his fellow disciples, he followed Yasuo silently.
