"Little Ming, be prepared to escape this area as soon as you can if we can't last!" Xue Mao said wearily.
It had already taken out its short ice dagger and readied to attack.
"Your Highness, I'll stall them for a bit. You'll take this opportunity to flee far away if it becomes too hard!" Tian Xueyang transmitted in a grim tone.
He sounded very determined, even in death, to protect their clan's Eastern Monarch with all loyalty.
Even though he could easily escape with his life intact, he was willing to sacrifice for Xiao Ming, which caused the latter to silently approve of such selfless character.
It reminded him of Xi Muyao as well.
"No! That won't do! These guys are only looking to settle scores with me. It does not have anything to do with you! You don't have to give up your life for me!" Xiao Ming resisted with bloodshot eyes.
He was definitely not going to sit back and let Tian Xueyang lose his own life while trying to protect him.
His conscience wouldn't permit that!
