Behind the Earth Dragon Bear,
Ambrose Lu’s eyes flickered slightly, then he looked at Mark Gu with interest.
Old Turtle seemed to think of something, his expression changed slightly, and he also turned his gaze to Mark Gu.
“Disappointed? What could I be disappointed about? Haha, are you finally going to make a move against me?” Mark Gu sneered.
In his view, this Earth Dragon Bear had been watching all along without attacking him, treating him like a toy mouse, not taking him seriously at all.
The Earth Dragon Bear feigned terror, waving its hands repeatedly, “Oh no, no, why would I attack Immortal Gu? I only want to crush your spirit, that’s all.”
Mark Gu scoffed, “Crush my spirit? Even the Heart Demon Tribulation couldn’t break me, what makes you think you can?”
“What makes me think so?” The Earth Dragon Bear glanced at Mark Gu inexplicably, then looked toward the town, grinning wickedly.
“Listen up, you ants. You have two choices. First, he dies. Second, you all die. If you want him to die so you can live, step forward. Those who choose the second or don’t choose at all, you will all die today. You have ten breaths to decide. Begin.”
As soon as the words fell,
The tens of thousands of residents in Moyu Town instantly became restless!!
“What a vicious heart!” Christopher Tong’s face changed dramatically, looking at Mark Gu with deep concern.
“Senior Brother…” Leonard Lin was at a loss.
Andrew Chen’s heart trembled, and he turned around, shouting,
“Everyone, quiet down! Don’t listen to him! No matter what choice you make today, he won’t spare any of us! Uh…”
But before Andrew could finish shouting, he fell silent.
He saw many town residents,
Without much hesitation, they rushed forward in a large group, standing with their heads bowed, silent.
At a glance, their numbers accounted for half of Moyu Town.
Those who remained in place had expressions ranging from struggle to determination.
Seeing this scene,
Mark Gu’s eyes lost focus, dazed for a long time.
“You, you all!”
Andrew Chen was so furious that he trembled, pointing at them with a shaking hand, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
“Town Master.” The butler hurriedly supported him.
“Immortal Gu could have left on his own, but he didn’t!”
“He fought with all his might to protect you, even at the cost of his life!”
“I’ve been the Town Master of Moyu Town for thirteen years, always believing in the simplicity and kindness of its people! I know you all want to live; after all, who wants to die if they can live? But today… even if you hesitated for just three breaths…”
“Even if you survive today, won’t you live the rest of your lives in guilt?”
“Do you think you are worthy of Immortal Gu?”
As Andrew Chen shouted, tears streamed down his face.
“Town Master…” The butler held the trembling Andrew Chen tightly, heart filled with sorrow.
The residents who stepped forward were pale and bloodless, clenching their teeth!
They just wanted to live, what was wrong with that?
…
“Master, human nature… cannot withstand tests.”
Old Turtle looked at the dazed Mark Gu with pity, sighing.
“Don’t I know that? It’s not like I’m the one testing them.” Ambrose Lu said calmly.
Old Turtle coughed dryly, smiling awkwardly.
Ambrose Lu looked at Mark Gu calmly and said softly, “If Mark Gu can come out of this and stay true to his heart, he will understand his own path and benefit for life.”
Old Turtle was taken aback, then nodded in agreement.
…
“Hahaha! Immortal Gu, look up, look up! What’s the use of your selfless protection? Will they protect you with their lives?”
The Earth Dragon Bear laughed triumphantly, hands on its hips.
This laughter was extremely grating to the residents who had stepped forward, causing their bodies to tremble violently, but they kept their heads down, not daring to look at Mark Gu’s helpless figure.
“Hehe, Immortal Gu, what about now? I’ll ask you one last time, are you willing to join the Monster Realm? Leave this cold and indifferent Spirit Dust Realm! I’ll help you kill all these despicable ants!”
At this moment, the Earth Dragon Bear finally asked the question again.
Everything it had done was leading up to this moment.
As soon as these words were spoken, the residents who had stepped forward looked up sharply, staring at the Earth Dragon Bear in disbelief, eyes filled with terror!
“You, you said you’d spare us!”
“You go back on your word!”
“Shut up!” The Earth Dragon Bear roared impatiently.
“Roar!” The group of monsters let out terrifying roars.
Instantly, the residents were too scared to speak, their eyes filled with despair.
“No, I won’t join the Monster Realm.” Mark Gu clapped his hands and stood up.
Everyone was stunned, their pupils trembling wildly, hearts aching to the extreme.
“Hmm? Are you crazy? Even now, you still want to protect these ants?” The Earth Dragon Bear’s pupils shrank, growling in frustration.
“It’s not about protecting them, I just don’t want to join your Monster Realm.” Mark Gu said expressionlessly.
“Alright then, since that’s the case, you can die with them. What a waste of your alchemy skills.” The Earth Dragon Bear took a deep breath, leaping forward with a wicked grin, “Monsters, you have five breaths to crush them. Leave Mark Gu to me!”
“Yes!!” The monsters roared in response, releasing a terrifying pressure as they charged into Moyu Town.
This horrifying scene left everyone stunned, then they instinctively scattered in all directions.
But before they could run far, the chaos caused some to fall, leading to trampling.
For a moment, cries of agony filled the air.
“Master!! Run! Don’t worry about them, or me and Leonard!”
Christopher Tong shouted at Mark Gu.
The Earth Dragon Bear’s aura was too terrifying; the Master couldn’t withstand it, but escaping was definitely possible.
“You two, retreat.” Mark Gu turned and smiled gently at Christopher and Leonard. Then, to their horror, his abdomen began to swell…
“Master… no!” Christopher and Leonard rushed toward Mark Gu, tears streaming down.
Even the Earth Dragon Bear was stunned, then quickly retreated!
Although it was a tenth-level monster cultivator comparable to the late stage of the Elemental Infant, if an initial stage Elemental Infant self-destructed, it would also be seriously injured.
“Don’t come any closer!” Mark Gu shouted at Christopher and Leonard.
They ignored him, eyes filled with determination.
At this critical moment,
Ambrose Lu appeared in front of Mark Gu like a phantom, gently pointing at his abdomen.
Instantly, the swelling subsided.
“Sir, you…” Mark Gu was momentarily dazed, his face filled with bitterness.
He never expected Ambrose Lu to intervene, never…
“Sir!” Christopher and Leonard skidded to a stop, faces filled with joy, tears flowing even more. They were truly terrified.
Ambrose Lu glanced at the chaotic scene and lightly waved his sleeve.
Instantly, all the monsters and residents were frozen in place in various poses!
The world suddenly fell silent.
Ambrose Lu looked at Mark Gu, studying him for a moment, then asked softly,
“Even now, you still risk your life. Is it worth it?”
Mark Gu was taken aback, his eyes reddening as he smiled, “It’s worth it.”
Ambrose Lu nodded slightly, saying nothing.
