"Shut up, you bad guys, I'm not a child, I'm a man of the Dugu family! I want to protect the Dugu family!" The little boy held his head high, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring straight ahead.
He held the sharp short blade tightly in his hand, showing no intention of retreating.
"Hahaha... How adorable! You're so brave."
"But, do you really think you can guard this dragon's lair by yourself?" Keiko Morisawa laughed so hard that she fell backwards, and the waves in her chest rose and fell with her exaggerated movements.
Her pretty face now looked a little ferocious because of the contemptuous smile, as if everything the little boy said made her feel both funny and offensive.
However, at this moment, an old and hoarse roar suddenly sounded: "Who said he was the only one?"
This sudden shout was like a thunderclap, instantly drawing everyone's attention to the dense forest beside the mountain wall.
Accompanied by the rustling sound of footsteps, one after another members of the Dugu family walked out of the woods.
Among them are graceful young girls, pregnant women with bulging bellies, children with childish faces, and white-haired, staggering old men.
At first glance, there were actually more than a hundred people!
Walking in front was an old woman with a cane.
The old woman had a hunched back and seemed to use all her strength to take every step, but her cloudy eyes sparkled with determination.
Time has carved deep and shallow wrinkles on her face, making her look very old. It is estimated that she is at least a hundred years old.
It turned out that these people were all relatives of the deceased Dugu family members.
When they learned that Dugu Zun, the ten elders, and the clansmen who guarded the mountain gate were all dead, they cried bitterly and were heartbroken.
But soon they stepped forward without hesitation, intending to use their meager strength to defend the family's last dignity and honor, and vowed to live and die with the Dugu family.
Seeing so many elderly, weak, women and children pouring out at once, Keiko Morisawa was stunned at first, and then showed a look of disdain and ridicule on her face.
She sneered and said, "Haha...you don't know your own limitations. Is this your last struggle? Are you planning to follow your patriarch to hell? Hahahaha...you're right. As the saying goes, a family should be together. It'll be nice to have someone to accompany you on the road."
The old woman slammed her cane into the ground, making a dull thud. Then her hoarse yet sharp voice rang out: "Hmph! There are no cowards in my Dugu family! Even if only one of us dies today, we will never retreat! If you want to blow up the dragon's lair, you must step over our corpses! Otherwise, forget it!"
"Hehehe, I've heard that you Chinese people love to be humiliated the most. In that case, I will reunite your family." After she finished speaking, Keiko Morisawa's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a cruel smile.
Then, she quickly drew out the long sword from her waist that was flashing with scarlet light, and without hesitation, she took a step forward and pounced straight towards the old woman like a ferocious cheetah.
In the blink of an eye, Keiko Morisawa had rushed to a place not far in front of the old woman.
She raised the long knife in her hand high, and with a fierce gust of wind, she chopped down the old woman's head mercilessly.
Just as the extremely sharp blade was about to touch the old woman's head, an unexpected scene happened.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Keiko Morisawa at an extremely fast speed!
The next second, the figure stretched out a hand and grabbed the rapidly falling blade of the long sword!
Drops of glaring scarlet blood slowly flowed down the sharp blade, and finally dripped onto the cold and hard ground with a "pat" sound, splashing blood.
Keiko Morisawa widened her eyes, staring at the figure in front of her that was becoming increasingly clear.
When she finally saw who the person was, she couldn't help but feel surprised and angry.
Keiko Morisawa frowned tightly, and her originally beautiful face now looked a little distorted because of dissatisfaction.
She asked in a tone full of displeasure and questioning: "Vikita-kun, what are you doing?"
Wikita did not answer her question immediately. He stood there quietly, emitting a chilling and dangerous aura.
I saw that he had put on a devil mask again, completely hiding his true face behind the mask.
At this moment, through the eerie mask, Wikita's icy eyes looked directly at Keiko Morisawa.
"That's enough, Keiko Morisawa, stop killing people."
Keiko Morisawa was stunned when she heard this, then burst into laughter: "Vikita-kun, you are not sympathizing with them, are you? This is not like you."
"I'm not joking with you, nor am I negotiating with you. You'd better do as I say." Wikita's voice was calm, but anyone could hear the threat contained in it.
Keiko Morisawa suppressed her smile and narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a murderous look at this moment: "Are you ordering me?"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the field became tense.
Seeing this, the mercenaries dared not utter a word. Only An Gaoxiong came up with a playful smile and said, "What are you doing? Have you forgotten that we in Theoi forbid internal fighting? The God of Creation will be unhappy if you do this."
When Keiko Morisawa heard the words of the God of Creation, her heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath and suppressed the murderous aura around her.
