Chapter 694 Swear Not to Surrender and Retreat

He Yijun was ranked third on the Vanquishing Fiends List. Now, he shook his jade fan gently while looking at the list. He narrowed his eyes slightly.

He felt displeased because he wanted the first place on the list, not the third.

He gazed at the 4th place.

“Killing God Liu Tianhe. It looks interesting.”

“Liu Tianhe is called Killing God because he hasn’t encountered you before,” an elder thousands-year-old next to him said. Although he was old, his cultivation was far lower than He Yijun’s.

He Yijun chuckled lightly. In truth, he also thought so.

“We cannot underestimate Liu Tianhe. Shi Mohan’s disappearance from the list was probably because of him. He could defeat Shi Mohan, so he is not marvelous.”

“It is said that he defeated Gu Yang.”

He Yijun’s expression was calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking. He said lightly, “I don’t look down on him, nor do I think highly of him. If he has the ability, he won’t stay behind me. We should pay attention to Wang Yunzhe and Xue Yanming.”

“Maybe they are lucky to meet more Earth people. You are all famous, but you haven’t fought with each other yet.”

He Yijun nodded slightly. He preferred this explanation.

“If we can rob Liu Tianhe’s Vanquishing Fiends Count, Yijun will be number one.”

“This folding space is too big. Where should we go to find Liu Tianhe? It’s better to find some Earth people to kill. Only in this way can we ensure that Liu Tianhe, who is ranked fourth, will not catch up.”

“Yijun, what do you think of these two ideas?”

“Is there any conflict between these two ideas?” He Yijun asked.

The others were stunned for a moment and chuckled. What He Yijun said was right. There was no conflict. They could search for Liu Tianhe while killing the Earth people.

On the top of the mountain, Chu Xun felt quite bored. During the day, he had not met any person of the Assembly of Immortals.

Suddenly, he felt the mountain trembling slightly. He looked over and saw a crowd of people tens of thousands of meters away. The crowd was estimated to have thousands of people.

As the group got closer and closer, Chu Xun slightly frowned because they were not all warriors. Most of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled. They were frantically running for their lives.

Because most of them were not warriors, the crowd was not fast.

Before long, another group of people appeared in Chu Xun’s sight. This group had more than a hundred people, less than the last group. But all of them had strong auras. They went not fast as if they were chasing the crowd in front of them. To put it bluntly, it was like a cat playing with a mouse.

Chu Xun looked to the other side and frowned. The crowd was unlucky. A team of people in front blocked their way. Although the team had only more than 30 people, they were all experts. Its leader was a young man in white with a jade fan in his hand.

“Yijun, look.”

“I saw it.” He Yijun was pleasantly surprised. Why were there so many Earth people here? It was unbelievable.

He estimated that at least a thousand people were here. If he killed all of them, his ranking could replace Xue Yanming’s and be second.

“There’s a group behind them,” an elder said.

He Yijun nodded slightly. He also saw it. He looked unshocked, but his eyes were full of vigilance because a familiar figure was in the group chasing after the Earth people. It was Xue Yanming ranking ahead of him.

Xue Yanming’s team also saw He Yijun and his companions. Xue Yanming said something to the experts beside him. Then all of them looked at He Yijun.

He Yijun cupped his hands slightly.

Xue Yanming’s team returned the salute.

With enemies in front and at the back, the Earth people in the middle were in a panic.

“You take the children and escape. Don’t worry about us old people,” an elder shouted sadly and angrily. His body was incomplete, having lost one leg and one arm, so he had to rely on a young man to carry him and escape.

“Yes, don’t worry about us. Take the children and go out. We old guys will try our best to stop these enemies for you.”

“We were born as Earth people, and we will become Earth’s souls after death. We have lived long enough. Let us do something for you in the end.”

There were many elders in the crowd. Most of them were badly injured, but they were fearless in facing the enemies in front and at the back.

“Grandpa Yun, what are you talking about? All of you are now badly hurt because of protecting us. Without your protection, how can we grow up? Even if I die, I will not abandon you.”

“You’re right. Even crows feed mother birds in return when fully grown, how could we abandon all of you? If we have to die, let us die together. If we can live, let us live together.”

“Bastards, what are you saying? Could it be that you won’t be satisfied until we all die here? You should live. Someone from Earth will come to take you home sooner or later,” an elder roared angrily.

The young warriors all looked angry and helpless. They lowered their heads and could not give up on the elders.

“Uncle Xiong, what’s your idea?”

Although the crowd had thousands of people, they were still too weak. There were only three experts in the High Immortal Realm among the crowd. The man called Uncle Xiong looked experienced, and his face was calm.

He looked around, saw the mountain next to him, and said in a deep voice, “We won’t give up anyone. Let’s climb the mountain and wait for help.”

“Xiong Liping, you are so stupid. Are you courting death? After going up the mountain, there is no way out. Do you want everyone to die here?” An elder was so angry that he cursed loudly.

Xiong Liping had a calm expression. “Even if we have to die, let us die together. We cannot abandon you.”

The elders were so angry that they cursed him one after another, but they had already burst into tears.

“Children and women go up the mountain first.”

The children and women helped each other climb up the mountain.

Next, the youth below the Gold Immortal Realm carried the elders up the mountain.

Then the experts in the Gold Immortal Realm went after them.

Xiong Liping and the other two experts went behind them.

Xue Yanming’s group did not move but sneered.

He Yijun’s group did not move either, and their faces were full of disdain.

If the Earth people fled up the mountain, they could not go away even if they grew wings. They could block the mountain roads. Those warriors with high cultivation could hold on, but those women and children would starve to death in a few days.

The two sides gathered at the foot of the mountain.

“Brother Xue.”

“Brother He.”

Both of them cupped their fists. The two people were ranked in the 2nd and 3rd positions on the Vanquishing Fiends List, respectively. Naturally, they would not let Earth people off.

If He Yijun killed all the people on the mountain, his ranking would surpass Xue Yanming’s.

Of course, Xue Yanming didn’t agree.

“Brother Xue, why are there so many Earth people?” He Yijun asked curiously.

Xue Yanming said, “My Nine-Star Palace has breached one of their cities.”

He Yijun’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly restrained himself. For the time being, he could not confirm whether what Xue Yanming said was true or not. If it was true, it meant that the Nine-Star Palace in the folding space was far more powerful than the White Sun Sect.

Therefore, his sect couldn’t offend Xue Yanming.

If it was false, he didn’t mind having a battle with Xue Yanming. If possible, he would get Xue Yanming’s Vanquishing Fiends Count.

Xue Yanming glanced at him and sneered, “Brother He, please don’t think too much. It’s impossible to breach their city by ourselves. It’s because we have the help of some Earth people that we could chase after those people.”

“Did some Earth people help you?” He Yijun’s eyes flashed, and he immediately understood that some Earth people had turned traitors.

“Brother He, don’t think that all the Earth people are fearless. Some of them are afraid of death.”

He Yijun’s eyes twinkled. He didn’t understand what Xue Yanming meant. He smiled and said, “Brother Xue, although your Nine-Star Palace chased these people here, you and I are both from the Assembly of Immortals. Killing Fiends is our duty. You don’t mind if we help you, do you?”

Xue Yanming answered, “Of course not. Later you can kill as many of them as you can, Brother He. I won’t care about how many you kill.”

He Yijun was even more puzzled. Why was it so easy to get along with Xue Yanming?

Actually, Xue Yanming didn’t want to fight He Yijun and get hurt. He only wanted to be the first on the list. After He Yijun fought with Wang Yunzhe, he would take action and win first place.

“Brother Xue, should we wait here or go to kill?” He Yijun asked. Since Xue Yanming asked him to kill Earth people at will, he wanted to see if it was true or not. What was Xue Yanming’s plan?

“Of course, we should go up the mountain and kill. A few Earth people have already escaped asking for help. As the saying goes, the earlier, the better. If we delay, I’m afraid something will happen,” Xue Yanming said.

“In that case, Brother Xue, please go this way.”

“Brother He, please!”

The two groups rushed up the mountain irresistibly. They all looked ferocious and looked at the Earth people on the mountain as if looking at pigs.

Xiong Liping and the other two experts in the High Immortal Realm guarded the hillside and were on full alert, staring at the people rushing up.

“Prepare for battle. Our families are on the top of the mountain. We do not allow those people to go there,” Xiong Liping shouted.

“We were born as Earth people and will die as Earth’s souls. We swear not to surrender and retreat. Let’s protect our families unless we die,” hundreds of young warriors shouted in unison, making the mountain tremble.

Hundreds of people in an imposing manner blocked the mountain roads with their bodies and stared coldly at the people rushing up.

He Yijun sneered, “Brother Xue, why don’t we have a contest?”

“What are we competing for?”

“Let’s see who will kill more people.”

“Okay.”

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

“Haha... You swore not to surrender and retreat. I like your words.” Manic laughter was as loud as strong thunder, shaking the mountain and causing many places to collapse and boulders to roll down.

Xue Yanming, He Yijun, and others suddenly stopped. Their expressions changed. Was there an unknown expert hiding in the crowd?

The expressions of Xiong Liping and the others also changed. Everyone suddenly turned around and saw that the crowd at the peak of the mountain had parted. A black-clothed and unbelievably handsome young man appeared in everyone’s sight.

The people on the top of the mountain stepped back, again and again, looking at the young man who suddenly appeared in panic.

Xiong Liping was serious. They had gone up the mountain, but they didn’t expect the person to appear at the top of the mountain.

This person should have been on the mountain a long time ago, but they didn’t find him. The most important thing was that he couldn’t be one of theirs. He could only be someone from the Assembly of Immortals.
