"Junior brother, watch out!" Cheng Tiankun shouted a warning to Xiao Yu at the sight. At the same time, he directed several Ancient Treasures toward one of the tentacles, intending to shoulder some of the pressure for him.
Seeing this, Lü Luo hesitated briefly before doing the same.
Ah, they really are men of heart! Xiao Yu sighed inwardly. Cheng and Lü's willingness to step forward at a moment like this was proof enough of their character!
After all, they were facing a late-stage Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator whose might had shaken the Southern Heaven Cultivation World for hundreds of years! Neither stood the slightest chance against this demon. They did not even know how long they could hold him off, and the slightest misstep might cost them their lives.
Even so, to protect Xiao Yu, they were still willing to act and share his burden. This left Xiao Yu somewhat ashamed. Looking back over the past few decades, he seemed to have done little for the Falling Cloud Sect, yet they were still willing to stand up for someone who had joined them halfway along his path.
Since that was the case, he could not let anything happen to them either. He therefore shouted:
"Senior brothers, fall back! I don't need your help to deal with this dumbass!"
Previously, he had wanted to conceal his strength, believing he had done so without gods or ghosts noticing. As it turned out, he had been overthinking things; they had found their way to his doorstep with ease. Then he might as well teach this Grand Cultivator a lesson and thoroughly intimidate certain petty villains, making them afraid to do anything to him or those close to him.
