393: I really know I'm wrong

Chapter 393: I Really Know I Was Wrong

The result was this.

Several monks desperately tried to rush out, while others desperately tried to surround them.

The monks had already pulled out their demon-subduing staffs.

But they still couldn't break through.

There was no other way.

Even if the people in front of them were crippled or killed, where could the surrounding people hide, even if they wanted to?

Behind them were demons!

Hadn't blood already flowed like a river?

Moreover...

The group of people behind them didn't know what was happening and were desperately squeezing towards the monks; they couldn't even get out if they wanted to!

At this moment.

The monks had completely lost their minds.

“Breakthrough! Go from above!” one of the monks shouted.

Immediately.

All the monks reacted.

They directly jumped up from where they stood, then ran out by stepping on the crowd!

Their movements were like a dragonfly skimming the water, incredibly fast even though they couldn't fly!

“Heh, they run pretty fast,” Lu Ran said, amused.

“Aren't you going to stop them?” Cen Yu Nuo asked.

“No, if I wanted to stop them, I could, even if they ran eight hundred miles away. Look over there, there are plenty of people—no, plenty of demons—who want to stop them,” Lu Ran said, nudging his chin.

Cen Yu Nuo turned her head to look.

Indeed!

These monks were running out by stepping on people.

But everyone else was on the ground, and only a few bald monks were moving quickly on top of them.

This immediately attracted the attention of many demons.

A group of demons swept past the surrounding crowd and pounced.

The crowd beneath the monks immediately noticed this scene.

“Oh no, oh no, the demons are coming!”

“The Masters have flown up! Are they going to fight the demons?”

“Great, we're saved!”

“Wait, why do I feel like the Masters aren't preparing to fight?”

“No matter what, the demons are here, and the Masters are about to make their move!”

...

Indeed.

The Masters were indeed about to make their move.

Because if they didn't, they would be finished!

They could clearly feel that the demons were coming straight for them!

Moreover.

They were even faster than them!

After all, they were just some small fry from Great Buddha Temple, and their strength was still too weak!

But the demons were already right in front of their faces; they couldn't just wait to die, so they had no choice but to act.

“Halt! Bold demons! This humble monk shall subdue you today!” one of the monks roared.

He turned around the instant a demon got close.

Stepping on two people's heads, the Buddhist light on his body began to burst forth, but its brightness was clearly far inferior to that of the Leading Monk Lu Ran had killed in the Imperial Capital earlier.

The crowd below was filled with excitement.

“See, see, I told you so! The Masters are about to act!”

“These demons won't be arrogant for long; show them the Buddhist methods!”

“As expected of a great master, the Buddha's light shines everywhere!”

“Great, we're saved!”

...

But as soon as the words fell.

Swish~

The fastest demon brushed past.

The monk, who had been incredibly arrogant just a moment ago, instantly went silent, his body frozen for a few seconds, then it split into pieces and was directly killed!

Blood and severed limbs immediately splattered down.

The crowd below, who had been excitedly cheering, instantly froze.

The seemingly mighty Master, was... gone just like that?

Dead just like that?

He didn't even get a chance to act!

And that demon just now didn't seem particularly impressive either!

As for the other monks, they also turned around to resist.

But their fates were even more tragic, one after another.

Moreover...

They had no power to resist at all; the moment they faced a demon, they were instantly decapitated.

There weren't many monks to begin with.

After this demonic assault, only a few were left alive.

On the contrary, the Leading Monk reacted the fastest.

While throwing another monk beside him, he used the force in the opposite direction to accelerate!

But he wasn't escaping.

Because he knew very well that his speed wasn't enough!

It was far too slow!

So, his direction was actually towards Lu Ran and Cen Yu Nuo!

And as he ran out, all the other monks died!

The Buddhist Masters in the hearts of these people, in a single encounter, were all dead, leaving only the Leading Monk!

Lu Ran watched curiously.

He asked, “Hey, you know, logically speaking, these aren't professionals; generally speaking, they should all be considered monsters, just more intelligent monsters. How can monsters kill each other?”

Cen Yu Nuo shrugged and said, “How can they be the same? Those under the Demon Lock Tower aren't ordinary monsters. Even if they've been digitized, they have their own settings, probably related to Da Luo Palace.”

As for the specifics, she couldn't say.

But in reality, this was already very vague.

Especially after Cen Yu Nuo had said those words to Lu Ran earlier.

Lu Ran's concept of professionals and NPCs became even more blurred.

Just at this moment.

The Leading Monk had already rushed in front of the two of them.

The surrounding crowd hadn't reacted yet; all the monks were dead, and only one Leading Monk suddenly ran in front of Lu Ran and Cen Yu Nuo. What was he going to do?

The next second.

Thump~

The Leading Monk didn't hesitate, not even slowing down, and performed a kneeling slide, kneeling in front of Lu Ran and Cen Yu Nuo.

“I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have come!”

“Great Buddha Temple shouldn't have encroached on Da Luo Palace's territory!”

“I was blinded by greed, please save me, both of you!”

“You must have a way, right? After all, you are from Da Luo Palace.”

“I truly know I was wrong. It was all these common people, these idiots who organized themselves. It has nothing to do with me.”

...

Upon hearing these words.

The surrounding crowd immediately understood.

This bastard had chickened out!

He couldn't defeat the demons at all!

And this meant that their last hope was gone!

“Damn it, you dog, what kind of Master are you! You're just a good-for-nothing!”

“Now it's our responsibility? Wasn't it Great Buddha Temple that was instigating this all along?”

“Damn it, bastard, are you abandoning us?”

“He can't even save himself, how can he care about us!”

“I don't want to die, ahhh!”

...

The crowd was incredibly noisy.

Screams were mixed in.

After all, the demons were still harvesting.

Cen Yu Nuo looked calmly at the Leading Monk in front of her.

The delight in her heart gradually subsided, and at this moment, she only felt a bit of lament and a touch of anger.

Just at this moment.

One of the colossal demons, over ten meters tall, charged over like lightning, its target unknown—whether it was the Leading Monk, or Lu Ran and Cen Yu Nuo.

Lu Ran's gaze swept over.

He took a step forward, his brows slightly furrowed.

But Cen Yu Nuo stopped him with one hand.

“I'll handle it,” Cen Yu Nuo said, deep in thought.

Perhaps because these were demons suppressed by Da Luo Palace, now resurfacing, Cen Yu Nuo had her own sense of determination.

The next second.

Cen Yu Nuo stomped her foot.

Buzz~

A huge Yin-Yang Taiji diagram burst forth beneath her feet.

Cen Yu Nuo held a talisman in one hand.

She looked up at the charging demon.

And coldly shouted, “Get lost!”
