Li Jing and Li Ya's beautiful eyes widened, their gazes filled with grief and hatred.
The guards at their sides were not merely the elites of their clan, but its seeds as well. To the sisters, they were as close as siblings, companions who had lived with them for more than ten thousand years.
Yet they had died right before their eyes to save them. How could they possibly accept that?
Li Jing and Li Ya's spiritual power instantly ran wild, and they were about to fight the Evil Orca King with their lives on the line, but the other guards stopped the mermaid sisters.
"Your Highnesses, hurry and go! Don't let our sister's sacrifice be in vain! She sacrificed herself because she didn't want you to be hurt again! You are the future of the Sea Princess Clan!" one guard cried out with heartfelt sincerity, tears likewise filling her eyes.
Though the other Sea Princesses were Li Jing and Li Ya's guards, in truth, the strongest among them were the sisters Li Jing and Li Ya.
It was not that Li Jing and Li Ya had been incapable of resisting the Evil Orca King's sudden attack just now, nor had they failed to react, yet a guard had still chosen to sacrifice herself.
She had only hoped that Li Jing and Li Ya would stop fighting desperately, to keep their injuries from worsening. Everything had been done so they could preserve their strength.
Because in the guards' minds, the continuation of the clan rested entirely on the mermaid sisters, not on ordinary clanswomen like them.
As long as Li Jing and Li Ya could escape safely, then even if all of them died in battle, it would be worth it.
"Go? Heh heh, none of you are getting away!"
