Death is near.
Wu Youi has already closed her eyes.
She knows that resistance is useless.
Everyone present is in better condition than her and stronger than her.
Rather than exerting effort to resist, it's better to give up the struggle; dying swiftly might spare so suffering.
She had observed, the teeth of the Great Demon were very sharp, easily biting through a man's neck just now.
Such sharp teeth biting her neck should end the pain quickly.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, and silent tears slid down her cheek.
But just as Wu Youi abandoned all hope, completely gave up resisting, and prepared to die, a demon suddenly shouted from ahead.
"My Lord! There's another one over there!"
Another one?
Does it an there's soone else pretending to be dead among the corpses, only revealing themselves now?
Quite an actor... or rather, quite patient.
If she could remain calm like that person, maybe she'd have a slight chance of escaping now?
Wu Youi didn't look back, nor did she open her eyes.
Because despite the many who scattered and fled earlier, they were all captured by the demons, so another escape attempt would be futile; they would only be brought back by the demons.
The process might have so twists but the result wouldn't change.
It's better to give up early and wait for death.
Wu Youi transitioned from actively trying to flee to hopelessly waiting for death in a short span, conceding to the demons' overwhelming power and numbers.
The disparity in strength and numbers ensures no one pretending to be dead has any chance of escaping alive.
At this mont, Wu Youi feels utterly desolate, seeking only a swift death.
But to her puzzlent, the anticipated gaping maw didn't fall upon her, instead, the oppressive entity seed to have circled her, and next ca the [Ironhide Shield Demon], sounding from behind her, gradually fading away.
"You! Aren't you the corpse [Vine Gourd Demon] was looking for? You're actually not dead?"
What's going on?
The execution-leading Great Demon suddenly spared and instead went after the survivor's trouble?
Wu Youi confusedly opened her eyes, instinctively turned to look.
The next instant, Wu Youi's pupils shrank, and she was stunned on the spot.
For, amidst the pile of corpses, stood a person.
A person she recognized, believed to be dead.
"Diao... Deyi?"
The first thing Wu Youi felt was bewildernt.
For she, like the others, witnessed Diao Deyi being struck in the chest, witnessed his death at Qingling Taoist's hands, under everyone's gaze.
Just like all of Sunset City, no one doubts Qingling Taoist's strength.
Nor does anyone doubt Diao Deyi's death.
Such a strong figure taking action, surely ant fatal intent, not holding back.
What on earth... is going on?
Sharing Wu Youi's confusion is [Ironhide Shield Demon].
It seed to be approaching the human step by step, but in truth, its attention was all on the human's chest wound.
It couldn't understand why this human, despite suffering such a fatal injury, could still be alive and stand there calmly, watching its approach.
Even more, it couldn't understand where this weak human found the courage not to move despite its approach.
Scared stupid?
No!
Those calm eyes weren't mixed with any fear, even seed to carry... excitent?
[Ironhide Shield Demon] didn't understand, or rather it couldn't comprehend.
But undoubtedly, the human ahead had a small hole piercing right through the heart.
A human can't survive with a pierced heart.
Unless... he has two hearts??
Frankly, [Ironhide Shield Demon] doesn't care if this human is abnormally constituted or born different.
These are trivial, inconsequential matters, because even if this human escaped a calamity from Qingling Taoist, he certainly wouldn't be able to pass .
But the only question is...
The resurrection of this kid, is it due to his unique constitution, or is there... so arrangent by Qingling Taoist behind it?
The forr would be a stroke of luck, escaping death, but the latter, implies having a high-level figure backing him, even [Ironhide Shield Demon] wouldn't dare to overstep.
At Qingling Taoist's level, only [Silver Lion King Demon] could negotiate terms, while a common demon like , wouldn't dare to disrupt his arrangents, would be killed in minutes, with even [Silver Lion King Demon] not sparing .
So [Ironhide Shield Demon] has to be cautious, very cautious to ascertain which situation the resurrected human belongs to.
Slowing its steps, to carefully observe this human.
Slightly twitching ears, to carefully listen if this human has any heartbeat sounds.
But strangely, despite coming closer, this weak human still wasn't afraid of !
Does he really have Qingling Taoist backing him?
As fellow Believers, possibly one of Sunset City's only three Believers, it's hard not to speculate about so special bond among them.
