“Leave quickly, Gaius!”
When the four Dragon Slayers gathered their powers and attacked the elders of the Chu Sect, Gaius seized the opportunity. Like an arrow piercing through the air, he sprinted down the mountain rapidly with Ye Fan.
Meanwhile, Owen and the other two brought up the rear, trying their best to hold the fighters of the Chu Sect off.
“D*mn it! Why are these old geezers so powerful?” Tang Xian yelled.
He had scrambled to his feet by then. Even though he was very strong, the earlier attacks were powerful enough to injure him.
Blood dribbled down one side of his lips.
Naturally, the other elders were not in a good state too.
Those who stood at the rear were not severely injured, while the other three had their ribs broken and blood splattered everywhere. After receiving a single blow, they could no longer continue fighting.
The weakest elder's chest was even blasted through from that earlier clash.
He lay in a pool of blood as life seeped away from him.
“Eighth Elder! Wake up, Eighth Elder!”
The fighters of the Chu Sect had come from all directions, and they immediately surrounded him. When they saw the Eight Elder lying there lifelessly, some of them shed tears.
Tang Xian clenched his fists as a frosty look crept into his eyes. “That b*stard, Chu Tianfan! If I don't kill you, I'll be letting the heroes who have died for Chu Sect down!”
His furious yells echoed in the sky.
With Tang Xian taking the lead, the others attacked even more viciously and chased after Ye Fan again.
In Ye Fan's two visits to the Chu Sect, he almost defeated all of the deployed fighters, especially the Demonic Duo. Those two were so severely injured that they could not join the operation.
However, the Chu Sect still had the majority of their combat prowess.
Although Ye Fan had defeated Tang Yun before, he had shown her mercy during the battle, so she only sustained some injuries.
After recovering, Tang Yun could unleash around fifty to sixty percent of her full powers.
Hence, even if the Dragon Slayers were there, it would still be tough for Ye Fan to escape Mount Chumen.
Evidently, Owen and the rest realized that too.
Therefore, to reduce the pressure on Gaius and help him bring Ye Fan out of Mount Chumen successfully, Owen and the others deliberately chose a different path from him when they retreated.
Furthermore, when Gaius fought his way out, he intentionally made a huge commotion to attract the fighters' attention.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Gaius whizzed past the forest, moving so quickly that his figure could barely be seen.
“Hang in there, Master! We're almost there. Soon, we can get out of here.”
Gaius was still running. However, Ye Fan's breathing was becoming weaker.
The pills that Junie instructed Gaius to bring were only effective for a short moment.
“D*mn you, the Chu family! D*mn you, the Chu Sect! How dare you harm Master to such an extent? After I reach the god realm twenty years later, I will destroy the entire Mount Chumen and take revenge for him...”
Although Gaius was greatly distressed, he could not stop cursing.
Just like that, he ran for dozens of kilometers.
Just as he was about to run out of the forest, an intimidating aura suddenly shot toward them from the front.
When Gaius raised his head to look ahead, he discovered someone standing at the far end.
It was none other than Tang Xian, the head of elders of the Chu Sect.
Gaius came to a halt and stared at him in disbelief. “Y-You... How is this possible? Didn't Owen and the others hold you back? How can you be ahead of us?”
Tang Xian snorted. “Your tactic might work for others, but you're too naive to think it'll be effective against me.”
Indeed, Tang Xian had noticed something amiss when Gaius and Owen fled in different directions.
