Chapter 1364 Deceiving Himself

1364 Deceiving Himself

'Xiao Li, listen to me. While I try to block them, you need to run away as fast as possible.' Tian Yang said to Huang Xiao Li through divine sense.

'What?! No way! I will not leave you here to die alone! If you're going to stay here and fight, so will I!' She immediately rejected his plan.

'Damn it! This isn't the time to be stubborn! I promised to protect you, so just listen to me and let me protect you!'

Despite telling her to run away, Tian Yang knew there was essentially no chance he could block them long enough for her to escape and he was only trying to deceive himself.

"Do you seriously think you can escape in this situation?" The leader suddenly laughed out loud, almost as if he could hear their conversation.

"Why do you want to kill us? We've never done anything to offend you!" Huang Xiao Li shouted.

"But you killed several of my men though?"

"That's self-defense!"

"Then you can consider this as self-defense, too." The leader laughed maniacally.

Tian Yang closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

'Xiao Li, I'm sorry.'

'W-Why are you apologizing to me?'

'Because I have failed to keep my promise. I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you.'

'N-Nonsense! We can survive this! Just as we'd survived until now!'

Tian Yang didn't respond.

"Talking between yourselves again? Go ahead. I'll let you say your goodbyes since I am a good person." The leader said.

In the following moment, Tian Yang suddenly moved.

However, he didn't move to attack the bandits.

He appeared right beside Huang Xiao Li and grabbed her hand.

"I love you," he muttered to her in a low and gentle voice.

"I lov—"

The moment Huang Xiao Li opened her mouth to respond, Tian Yang, using all his strength, tossed her into the air and away from the bandits.

"RUN!" He shouted at her.

The leader sneered at his pointless attempt and spoke in a commanding tone, "Half of you go hunt that escaped rat."

Seeing this, Tian Yang tried his best to block them. However, he wasn't able to block a single one from chasing after Huang Xiao Li.

"What can a powerless man like you do?" The leader of the gang blocked Tian Yang from his attempt.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Tian Yang unleashed all of his cultivation and attacked the leader.

"Why struggle when you know it'll be in vain?" The leader casually deflected his attack.

The difference between Spirit Lord and Spirit King was like heaven and earth. There was simply no chance for a talentless person like Tian Yang to overcome such a hurdle.

However, the leader didn't immediately kill Tian Yang and toyed with him by giving him minor injuries, almost as if the leader wanted his opponent to bleed to death.

Many minutes of struggling later, the other bandits returned, and in their grasp was Huang Xiao Li's lifeless body.

Tian Yang lost his strength when he saw her corpse.

"Oh! Took you guys long enough!" The leader said to them.

The bandit carrying her corpse tossed her body onto the ground like trash and said, "The bastard was stronger than expected and even managed to kill two of us."

The leader raised an eyebrow when he saw Huang Xiao Li's appearance.

"Huh? Who is this woman?"

"Ah, she was a woman disguised as a man. We didn't realize it until we killed her." The bandit sighed.
