145: Chapter 145 Despicable Human Nature 145: Chapter 145 Despicable Human Nature Not far away, a brother and sister were running toward the villagers with a hoe and a firewood knife in hand.

When the villagers saw the siblings, a look of astonishment appeared on everyone’s faces, simply because they had witnessed Li’s father pushing Gu Xiaoxiao in front of the Blood Shadows during their flight, before fleeing alone.

But how come Gu Xiaoxiao hadn’t died and was instead very much alive?

“It was that man who saved Xiaoxiao, I saw with my own eyes how he sent that monster flying,” a villager pointed excitedly at Ye Xuan in the distance, hope shining in his eyes.

“Exactly, it’s this man whom Xiaoxiao took in who saved her; this monster is afraid of him, he will definitely be able to save us,” a village woman voiced out excitedly.

As many villagers spoke excitedly, the originally despairing atmosphere was slightly alleviated at this moment, and Li’s father, standing among the crowd, had an even more embarrassed and ashamed look on his face, yet a flicker of excitement also passed through his eyes.

“Xiaoxiao, I’m so sorry, can you forgive me?”

As soon as the siblings made it to the villagers, Li’s father broke down in tears, immediately kneeling before Gu Xiaoxiao, repeatedly kowtowing to apologize, looking desperately pitiful to any onlooker.

“You scum, how could you commit such a heartless act?

Do you think you deserve Xiaoxiao’s forgiveness?”

“That’s right, I’ve always respected you so much, but you went and did something like this, it’s truly shameful.”

“Xiaoxiao, don’t worry, once this monster leaves, we will stand up for you, we will definitely get justice for you.”

Many villagers spoke up, some beating their chests in assurance, while Li’s father continued to kowtow and apologize amidst the scolding.

“Li’s father, please get up, I really don’t blame you, perhaps you were just frantic at that moment, after all, in times of danger, people can do some irrational things,” Gu Xiaoxiao bit her lip tightly, helping Li’s father to his feet, which earned her praise from the villagers as a truly kind-hearted child.

At that moment!

Standing afar, Ye Xuan watched the scene with an eerie light in his eyes, a sneer of contempt curving at the corner of his mouth.

“Humanity is so despicable, yet you are foolish and ignorant, let’s see when you will finally awaken,” Ye Xuan murmured in a low voice.

Hehehe!

The Blood Shadows let out an eerie laugh, but it didn’t pounce on the villagers, instead, it kept an eye on Ye Xuan’s movements, ready to flee in case this terrifying human struck.

After all, the Blood Shadows could sense that it was no match for this human.

However, although the Blood Shadows were lacking Spiritual Wisdom, as time passed, Ye Xuan still hadn’t made a move against it.

It could feel that this terrifying human didn’t seem intent on stopping it.

The Blood Shadows stepped toward the villagers, testing Ye Xuan’s intent, and as it got within a hundred meters of them and realized Ye Xuan still hadn’t reacted, the Blood Shadows finally felt at ease, its body bursting forth with a cruel and terrifying bloody light.

“Food…

my food…”

Watching the Blood Shadows approaching, the color drained from the faces of the villagers, and they realized that Ye Xuan was standing far off, without the slightest movement.

This made many of them urgently cry out to Gu Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, please beg this master to kill this monster.”

“He won’t help us,” Gu Xiaoxiao said with a bitter smile faced with the pleas of the villagers.

“Why…

why not?” a villager shrieked.

“Because he is a heartless man,” Gu Xiaoxiao murmured sorrowfully.

Puchi!

Suddenly, as the villagers stood in a daze, a horrific blood-soaked hand had already penetrated the chest of one of them, and a piercing scream filled the air, accompanied by the glaring brightness of fresh blood, which caused many villagers to scream in terror.

At that moment, Gu Xiaoxiao, fearless, shouted loudly, “Villagers, we have no one to rely on, so today let’s fight this monster to the end.”

Gu Xiaoxiao’s face was pale, yet she still stood up with a firewood knife in hand, and a resolute look flickered in her eyes.

“Are you fucking kidding me?

What are we supposed to fight with?”

“We can’t kill that thing; stop being delusional.”

The villagers cursed loudly, their steps continuously retreating.

Where was their earlier fawning, subservient attitude towards Gu Xiaoxiao?

But behind them was a deep river; they had no way out.

Looking at the angry faces of the villagers, Gu Xiaoxiao’s face turned ghastly.

She couldn’t understand why these kind villagers had become like this.

Were these the same people she knew from the small river village?

“Ah!”

“No… don’t kill me.”

As Gu Xiaoxiao stood there in shock, the Blood Shadows cruelly struck, and one by one, the villagers’ bodies fell at their feet, a large amount of Blood Soul Essence swallowed up by the monster, turning them all into dried corpses.

The fear that rose from the depths of the villagers’ hearts upon seeing their companions slaughtered by the Blood Shadows seemed to be driving them insane.

People either erupt in silence or perish in despair.

No one wants to die, and the villagers of the small river village were no exception.

And once people go mad, they can do anything.

“You damn girl, come here.”

Suddenly, a sinister growl echoed.

Old Lee quickly made his way to Gu Xiaoxiao in just a few steps, grabbed the firewood knife from her without pause, and held it swiftly to Gu Xiaoxiao’s throat.

Moreover, holding Gu Xiaoxiao hostage, he turned and roared at Ye Xuan, “If you don’t want her to die, drive this monster away, or don’t blame me for killing this damn girl.”

This scene caused Gu Xiaoxiao’s eyes to glaze over, as if her soul had departed her body, and she became like a puppet on a string, held hostage by Old Lee, with a lone tear streaming down her face.

“Let go of my sister!”

The young Gu Beichen shouted in panic, raising his fist to strike Old Lee, but before he could reach him, he was kicked to the ground.

“You little brat, if you keep messing around, I’ll kill your sister first,” Old Lee’s face twisted hideously, his eyes filled with madness.

At this moment!

All the villagers had gone mad, they quickly gathered around Old Lee, shouting, “Well done, Old Lee!

Since this person won’t save us, let’s kill this damn girl.”

“Right, even if we die, we’ll take someone down with us.”

The villagers had completely forgotten their previous demeanor; at this moment, all had turned into inhumane beasts, collectively holding Gu Xiaoxiao hostage as they looked towards Ye Xuan, clearly indicating that if he didn’t want Gu Xiaoxiao to die, then he’d have to kill the monster.

“Esteemed sir, we only want to survive, we mean no threat to you, just drive the monster away, and we will immediately release the hostage,” Old Lee bellowed loudly, with the other villagers voicing their agreement.
