“No! No! Somebody, please stop him!”
There was nothing Chu Shen and the others could do as they watched their imminent doom get closer and closer.
“Xuan, Ming, please save us!” Desperate, Chu Qitian got on his knees and shouted while streams of tears flowed from his eyes.
Not long after that, almost the entire Chu family followed suit and started pleading for help.
“Please save ourfamily! We beg of you!”
“We'll do anything! Please just save our family!”
The wailings of the family were so loud that they could pierce the clouds.
Boom!
Suddenly, a formidable force shot out from where the Chus were and went straight for Ye Fan.
Like two meteors colliding, the mysterious force and Ye Fan took each other head-on, and upon impact, the shockwave they created was enough to break tree branches and blow rocks away.
After a short stalemate, Ye Fan was sent stumbling backward, and every step he took left a hole in the ground.
Everybody at the scene was completely stunned by the loud explosion.
Shocked, they then turned to look in the direction of the Chus, for nobody expected that the family would still have a card up their sleeves.
Everybody wondered who it could be that had enough power to fend off Ye Fan.
“What happened? Who could be that powerful? Has the Chus been hiding a trump card all along?” questioned Gaius with his eyebrows furrowed.
While all those present at the Dragon God Hall were still in shock, two figures were revealed after the dust settled.
Standing near the Chus were two elderly men with white hair. The aura emanating from them was so intense that everyone at the scene could feel its presence.
“Who... Who are they?” “It's the Demonic Duo! They're the Chus' guardians,” explained the Chu Sect's head of elders while narrowing his eyes suspiciously at the two elderly men.
“What? Guardians? Are they supposed to be a threat?” Unlike those in the Chu Sect, Mochizuki Kawa and the others were clueless about who the Demonic Duo was.
“Of course! The Demonic Duo has served Chu Yuan for almost their entire lives. They were his right-hand men when Chu Sect was in a crisis all those years ago, and together, they've taken down countless fearsome men. As Supremes, the Demonic Duo's prowess was second only to Chu Yuan himself back then.” The Chu Sect leader had nothing but reverence in his eyes when he talked about the two elderlies but powerful men.
Immediately after listening to him, Mochizuki Kawa and the others trembled all over.
“Are you... Are you telling me that these two are the Infernal Duo that slaughtered countless men by Chu Yuan's side?” Fear-stricken, Mochizuki Kawa's eyes widened in terror while his heart raced.
Even though he had not heard of the Demonic Duo before, he knew who the Infernal Duo was since they ranked top three on the Sky Ranking.
One of the main reasons Chu Sect could achieve great heights was because of their talents, and the Infernal Duo was undoubtedly the best among them.
However, due to infighting in the sect, the Infernal Duo disappeared along with Chu Yuan.
Since everyone thought that the two had met their demise like Chu Yuan, nobody would expect to see them suddenly reappear that day.
In response, the head of elders nodded. “After the power grab, the two changed their name to the Demonic Duo and lived in seclusion amongthe Chus. Their only purpose now is to protect the family in Chu Yuan's place. However, besides Chu Yuan himself, no one in the Chu family could command them. That's why they rarely show themselves, except to carry out simple missions. Now that Chu Tianfan's got the family cornered, as guardians, the Demonic Duo could no longer stand idly by. Oh, how the tables have turned.”
