Plucking the strings of the harp, [The Wind of Praise] prepared to attack, while also thinking about how to retreat.
The growth rate of Yang Yu and his team far exceeded their imagination.
A year ago, I was able to deal with them with ease by cooperating with [Humility] and [Chaste Jasmine].
If the deputy captain of [Po Tian Shi] had not suddenly intervened, they would have been able to deal with Yang Yu, who had transformed into a masked man with colorful hair.
But now
This attack was prepared against the Yang Yu team they expected.
Yang Yu and his team had far more than expected specifications and some extra exotic equipment. If they continued to fight, their hopes of victory would be extremely slim.
Two [Song Yang] have already died at the hands of Yang Yu, but Carlos is injured again. Even if he is unwilling, retreat is the best option.
Several strings flew out from the harp played by [Praise of the Wind], intertwined with each other, forming a cage, and flew towards Yang Yu.
Yang Yu only swung the sword a few times and cut the cage into pieces.
While launching the skill, [Praise of the Wind] also used its own ability to have a conversation with Yang Yu:
"If you keep attacking, I can't guarantee what will become of those dwarves!"
Yang Yu acted as if he didn't hear these words at all. He picked up the sword and continued to sprint. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of [Praise of Flowing Wind].
Chaos plucked the strings of the zither, and a light blue shield lingered around [The Praise of the Wind] and at the critical moment, it blocked Yang Yu's sword.
Red and light blue splashed, and the rumble of swords and shields colliding echoed in the empty stone forest.
But Carlos wanted to go to support Song Yang's Liu Feng, but she was already overwhelmed and could not even protect herself.
The bright red blood had already dyed the lining of her blue checkered robe red, making it somewhat difficult for her to exert any strength.
Bai Jin and Iyas' attacks are endless, and you must continue to keep your distance and avoid entering their range in order to have a chance of survival.
Jasmine, who had no way to deal with Bai Jin and the others, finally gave up attacking He Meng, who had transformed into a tall tower, and ran towards [The Praise of Flowing Wind] to provide support.
However, Jasmine is a heavily armored warrior after all. Even if she uses [Rapid Charge], it will be difficult for her to provide support in a short period of time.
[Praise of the Wind] Now I can only rely on myself.
Hiding behind the shield, she tried to talk to Yang Yu again.
"Let's make a deal. If you stop attacking now, we will release the dwarves immediately, withdraw, and swear not to cause trouble to you again."
This time, Yang Yu finally had some reaction.
Without any relief or doubt, a smile appeared on Yang Yu's face, a strange and nonchalant smile.
“Do you really think we are here for the dwarves
I know the relationship between you and me better than anyone else. The conflict between us is irreconcilable.
Those of you who try to summon demons will always be on the opposite side of us.
Only one of us will survive.
It's rare that you have revealed your true colors and used such a stupid method, so naturally I don't want to let you go.
Today, none of you can escape."
It’s not that Yang Yu doesn’t want to save the dwarves, but the Curse Cult must be thinking of some strategy to reverse the situation by bringing out the dwarves at this time.
If you show any worry or hesitation now, it will only play into their hands.
As the saying goes, "concern leads to confusion." Who knows whether the Curse Cult will kill all the dwarves that Yang Yu "treasured" as revenge after threatening him.
In this case, it would be better to put on an attitude of "You can kill me or chop me up as you like! Anyway, I'm going to kill you all today", so that they will feel that killing the dwarves will not only not bring them any benefits, but may also bring disaster.
[Song Yang Liu Feng] stared at Yang Yu intently, trying to find Yang Yu's flaws, but she just couldn't see any flaws in Yang Yu. In desperation, she could only try again.
"You really don't care about the lives of those dwarves? Those dwarves will all die because of you."
Yang Yu said firmly: "Wrong, they all died because of you.
This is your fault, don't try to put the blame on me.
We just tried our best but failed to protect them.
Killing you now can be considered as revenge for them."
Yang Yu's sword blade hit Liu Feng's shield with a crackling sound. Liu Feng's shield was not a shield that was completely immune to damage, but a shield that would break after absorbing a certain amount of damage.
Faced with Yang Yu's unstoppable attack, a crack instantly appeared on the shield, and then it turned into countless fragments and dissipated.
Without any pause, Yang Yu's sword blade passed through the broken light and blew towards the wind like a hurricane.
Yang Yu's sword mercilessly cut off Liu Feng's harp, pierced Liu Feng's chest, and ended her life.
All the zombies who tried to attack Yang Yu fell to the ground like kites with broken strings.
Several surviving believers of the Curse Cult rushed to Yang Yu, but were all killed by Yang Yu.
"You bastard!"
Jasmine roared and burst out with unprecedented speed. Her giant sword smashed into the ice, creating countless ice chips with a crackling sound.
Several [Praises] who were on standby in the stone forest stopped watching over the dwarves and walked straight through the stone forest.
They received the message from [The Praise of the Wind] before his death.
They knew that if they appeared on the battlefield now, they would be quickly dealt with by Yang Yu, who was incredibly fast, so they unanimously decided not to get close to the battlefield, but to find a quiet place and weave a teleportation array that could quickly leave here.
Several Curse Cult guards who were protecting [Song of Praise] jumped down from a nearby stalagmite and tried to kill the dwarves entangled in black ropes, but when they saw [Song of Praise], they shook their heads at them.
If Yeon-woo is really coming towards them, killing these dwarves will do nothing.
Killing these dwarves might bring disaster upon them.
If Yang Yu used the death of these dwarves to spread the horror of this sect, thereby prompting the Dragon God Council to form an alliance specifically to combat the curse sect, then there would be big trouble.
Even though we don’t know how capable Yang Yu is to make all this happen, in this extraordinary period, the fewer accidents that happen, the better.
If we save the lives of these dwarves, others might have the impression that "the Curse Cult is nothing special. They were beaten like this by a young man and were so scared that they abandoned their hostages and ran away", and thus they would look down on what happened today.
They don't care whether the sect will be respected by others, they only care whether the sect can accomplish its great cause.
Until that day comes, the less trouble there is, the better, and the safer the Curse Cult's situation is, the better.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Cult of the Curse decided to let these dwarves go.
They didn't have much intention of "deliberately" involving ordinary people.
Even though they have already involved quite a few people before, it is possible that a large number of ordinary people will be involved in the future.
