Little Dragon Girl's gaze was fixed on the ascetic monk. She had already guessed his identity, but it was precisely because she had guessed it that she was even more shocked...
"You must be the ascetic senior. I never expected to meet you here. This junior greets you, senior..."
Little Dragon Girl did not lose her composure because of this, and even calmly bowed to the ascetic monk...
"As expected of the Dragon King's daughter, she is polite, courteous, and knows exactly how to conduct herself. It's truly enviable..."
The ascetic monk praised her, but then he changed the subject, looking at Xiaolongnu and continuing...
"You should know that you are no match for me, not even with the Khan's daughter by your side. I think with your intelligence, you wouldn't do anything irrational, would you?"
Xiaolongnu could tell that the other party was threatening her, but she wasn't afraid. Even if the other party was a master on par with her father, it wouldn't scare her away...
"Senior, my life and death are intertwined with the person in bed. If you kill him, it's the same as killing me. Do you think I would give up and stop you?"
"And you?"
Upon hearing the Little Dragon Girl's words, the ascetic monk knew that he would inevitably have to fight the Dragon King's daughter as well...
His life force is rapidly dwindling, and each action is a significant drain on his life. Therefore, he only wants to act at the crucial moment and successfully bring the secret weapon back to the Liao Kingdom alive…
Faced with the ascetic's interrogation, Nazha finally realized that she had been incredibly shocked when she first learned that he was an ascetic. This was a living god of the grasslands, yet such a person was actually showing up and attacking ordinary people. It was clearly shameless...
Moreover, the person being targeted was someone she deeply loved, so she immediately suppressed her shock and respect and said firmly.
"If you want to harm Brother Zhu, you'll have to step over my dead body first..."
The ascetic monk hadn't expected both of them to be so resolute, which put him in a difficult position. He feared that if he attacked them, he would exhaust his remaining life force.
However, the longer he stays, the more disadvantageous it becomes for him. After all, he is not currently in a state of complete seclusion, and as his life force diminishes, the probability of him achieving his goal through his actions decreases...
In this situation, he decisively chose to immediately take action against the two people…
"Since you want to stop me, then I'll just have to show you what it means to be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot..."
After the ascetic finished speaking, an indescribable mental pressure enveloped Nazha and Xiaolongnu...
It immediately made the two of them feel as if they were being crushed by a mountain, making it hard for them to breathe...
This is the difference between the strong and the weak. A single action, a glance, or even mere mental pressure from the strong can render a person incapacitated, or even kill them…
Even though the ascetic was injured, his mental pressure was something the two of them couldn't withstand. Their bodies involuntarily knelt on the ground, and cracking sounds came from their bodies, as if their bones were about to break at any moment...
"Brother Zhuzhu, please wake up quickly! If you don't wake up soon, Sister Nazha and Sister Xiaolongnu will be killed..."
Seeing the pained expressions on the two women's faces, Yuwen Yingying knew they were no match for the ascetic monk. The reason he hadn't killed them immediately was simply because he wasn't using his full strength...
Little did she know that the ascetic monk wasn't unwilling to use his full strength; rather, if he were to unleash his full power, he would likely exhaust his life force and die within a few breaths. The strength he was currently using was only slightly higher than the two of them, enough to overwhelm them, but not enough to instantly kill them…
Li Zhu was also very anxious. His consciousness was returning, but he had been fighting the demon god for too long, and his mental energy was too depleted, making it impossible for him to take control of his body immediately...
Pfft…
Naza and Xiaolongnu both coughed up blood; the immense pressure caused their bodies to tremble, as if they were on the verge of collapse...
But their gazes were firm, without the slightest hesitation; they were determined to fight for their loved ones' chance to live…
"Aren't you going to give up?"
The ascetic continued his verbal assault, trying to get the two to give up their resistance...
"Give up? Are you talking nonsense? With the power you've shown, do you think you're worth us giving up on? I bet you suffered a great loss at my father's hands, otherwise you wouldn't be wasting your breath talking to us. You would have wiped us all out with a wave of your hand long ago, instead of wasting your breath here..."
Little Dragon Girl's words were like a knife piercing the ascetic monk's heart, which angered him and made him feel that his dignity had been seriously challenged...
"Hmph! You ungrateful wretch! I intended to teach you a lesson so you wouldn't lose your lives for nothing, since I have ties with your elders. But since you're so ungrateful, then you may all die..."
As he spoke, the ascetic monk gently waved his hand, and an invisible force struck the two men directly in the chest, sending them flying. In mid-air, the two men coughed up blood for the second time, and upon landing, their faces were pale and their breathing became extremely erratic...
In this situation, the two of them were completely powerless, and could only glare angrily at the ascetic, but there was nothing they could do...
"I won't allow you to hurt Brother Zhuzhu..."
Yuwen Yingying stood before Li Zhu once more, blocking the approaching ascetic monk...
This startled the ascetic monk. He knew, of course, that Yuwen Yingying had no real strength, but how could such an ordinary person have the courage to stand before him? This puzzled the ascetic monk; it was a bewilderment about human nature…
"I won't kill you. Just get out of the way. I only want the people behind you..."
The ascetic monk calmly stated that for experts like them to gain Yuwen Yingying's voluntary withdrawal, they couldn't afford to attack ordinary people...
"I...don't want to hurt Brother Zhuzhu, unless you step over me..."
Seeing Yuwen Yingying's determination, the ascetic monk sighed and waved his hand, sending Yuwen Yingying away from Li Zhu's side. However, the force he used on Yuwen Yingying was much gentler, and she landed steadily...
“Brother Zhuzhu…”
Yuwen Yingying struggled desperately, but to no avail. At that moment, Nazha and Xiaolongnu struggled to their feet and stood in front of the ascetic monk…
"Since you've chosen to die, don't blame me..."
The ascetic monk raised his hand, and immense power gathered in it. Feeling the strength of this power, Nazha and Xiaolongnu exchanged a glance, knowing that they might really die here this time. The fact that they hadn't seen Li Zhu wake up yet filled them with deep regret…
Just then, Yuwen Yingying rushed between the two men and took both of their hands...
