Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Break My Bones to Make Soup for Her
The hearts of everyone were filled with a blazing fire. Watching their own kin, their own teammates being bullied was intolerable!
Ice Soul Sword looked coldly at Ye Chen: "I give you two choices. One, they die. Two, you die! Don’t blame me for being ruthless, I have to give my people an explanation!"
The others also heard Ice Soul Sword’s words.
"What do we do!"
"I hope Ye Chen would be willing to sacrifice himself, give us a way out!"
"What do you mean ’what do we do’! At this point, are we still going to cling to life by hiding?"
"Originally, this wasn’t Ye Chen’s issue, he already stepped in to save us once, and now we expect him to face this alone, sacrifice himself?"
"Do you even call yourself human saying that! Using his life to trade for yours. Why is your life so precious! Let me tell you! You’re nothing! Even if you grow, you’ll be a traitor. Only people like Ye Chen remaining are the hope and future of the Human Race!"
"Indeed, Brother Jiang Feng is right, we can’t back down any longer. No matter what, we cannot trade someone else’s sacrifice for our cowardly survival! Ice Soul’s doing this to incite a feud among us, make us distrust each other! We mustn’t fall for her trick!"
"Right, we absolutely can’t allow others to erode our friendship, it’s time to stand up!"
The more they spoke, the more emotional everyone became.
Suddenly, everyone stood up in unison.
"We’re willing to give our lives to save Ye Chen’s life!"
They stood up, shouting in unison.
Ye Chen’s pupils dilated, he turned and looked at everyone.
He saw everyone standing together, stepping towards him, resolutely positioning themselves behind him, with a look of facing death unflinchingly on their faces.
"We will never retreat!"
"We are willing to give our lives for Ye Chen’s life!"
They shouted in unison.
Ye Chen didn’t expect them to do this, feeling a bit moved in his heart.
Ice Soul Sword seeing things not going as she predicted, became furious.
"Shut up! You all have no choice! Ye Chen, choose!"
Ice Soul Sword shouted coldly, her overwhelming aura erupted once more.
Everyone couldn’t help but step back, but still firmly stood behind Ye Chen, showing no sign of retreat.
Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Since Ice Soul esteemed one already has an answer and a plan, why let us choose? Fine, as you wish, I will die in exchange for their lives."
"Good!" shouted Ice Soul Sword.
Ice Soul Sword was very clever. This was exactly her objective.
She originally thought to drive them to discord, make them quarrel, best if they started fighting, but alas, things did not turn out as she expected.
In making decisions among these people, she preferred to kill Ye Chen, because the others were not a threat at all, yet Ye Chen gave her a different feeling.
Ice Soul Sword coldly said: "The rest of you can leave now!"
Yet no one moved.
Ye Chen turned, smiled at everyone: "Everyone, please leave first, it’s fine if I stay alone, we can’t let our entire army be wiped out."
Ye Chen still wore an expression of calmness.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into a dilemma.
Xiang Yin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, with eyes full of determination, he said: "No! We absolutely won’t cling to life cowardly! Although the wind blow cold on the Yi River, a hero departs never to return! If we die, so be it! Betraying comrades and clinging to life is something we will never do!"
The others were also ignited by Xiang Yin’s words, stomping their right foot heavily on the ground to express their determination.
"What’s the harm in living or dying! We absolutely will not tolerate cowardice!"
"Right! Damn it! We will not retreat!"
They looked at Ice Soul Sword, ready to face death, without any sign of retreat.
"Haha! Good! Very good!" Ice Soul Sword suddenly laughed aloud: "In that case, I will grant your wish!"
"Sacred Ice Tier One, Frozen Earth!"
Ice Soul Sword waved her jade hand, a strong gust of cold wind blew towards the people behind Ye Chen.
Before they could react, they were enveloped by this cold wind.
Instantly, just like Genggeng, they were frozen in ice blocks.
However, their heads were exposed while their bodies were immobile.
Ice Soul Sword’s mouth curled into a faint smile: "Heh, weren’t your feelings deep? Today, I’ll let you all watch Ye Chen die with your own eyes!"
With that, Ice Soul Sword picked up the Ice Soul Sword again, walking step by step towards Ye Chen.
Jia Mu, who had been hiding behind Ye Chen, suddenly stood up, blocking in front of Ye Chen.
With arms wide open, she protected Ye Chen firmly.
"I won’t allow you to harm Brother Ye Chen!"
Although Jia Mu was scared, her voice trembled as she spoke, yet she didn’t back down in the slightest.
Ice Soul Sword, who hadn’t noticed Jia Mu until now, began inspecting her.
Upon seeing Jia Mu’s information, Ice Soul Sword’s pupils shrank slightly, and her mouth twitched a few times.
"Turns out it’s a Holy Wood Race kid! How come the Holy Wood Race’s little one is mingling with this human, and they seem very close."
Deeply shocked, Ice Soul Sword felt within her heart.
"Jia Mu, stand aside, you can’t contend with this Ice Soul Sword," Ye Chen grabbed Jia Mu’s shoulder, intending to pull her aside.
Jia Mu struggled, removing Ye Chen’s hand: "No! I’m not moving! I won’t allow anyone to harm you."
Ice Soul Sword’s eyes flickered, revealing a peculiar expression.
"Jia Mu, you’re a monster, sacrificing yourself for a human, doesn’t it feel inappropriate?" Ice Soul Sword said coldly.
Jia Mu turned to Ice Soul Sword, shouting loudly: "I don’t care, anyway, I just won’t allow you to harm Brother Ye Chen, absolutely not! If you want to kill, kill me first!"
Profound Maiden looked at Jia Mu, deeply shocked as well.
The three-legged bird watching from outside suddenly crushed something.
"Jia Mu, move! Are you stupid! You’re only at level 30, you’re no match for it."
Ye Chen didn’t want Jia Mu to get hurt because of him, continuously persuading.
But Jia Mu didn’t care at all: "I don’t care, I don’t care! Anyway, I just won’t allow anyone to harm you! No one can harm Brother Ye Chen!"
"Ice Soul Sword! Kill me first if you want!"
Jia Mu still stood before Ye Chen, staring at Ice Soul Sword and shouted.
Those frozen behind felt intensely shocked as well.
"This Ye Chen, truly has such a charm, to have a monster devoted to him, willing to sacrifice for Ye Chen."
"Ye Chen, in the future, will definitely be extraordinary!"
In their hearts, everyone was full of admiration for Ye Chen.
Outside, various monsters were also discussing vehemently.
"Who knows how this human’s charm is so great, making the top tier of Tier Two treat him so!"
"Yeah, I’m envious watching, Tier Two’s top grade race! If only they treated me like this, I’d be willing to break my ribs to make soup for her!"
"Stop dreaming, your spine wouldn’t even meet her standards."
