Chapter 261: Dare Not Neglect

It smashed toward the front.

Wherever it passed, the air distorted.

On the other side, the experts of the Dark Night Elf race also attacked.

As they moved, they let out roars.

Every attack contained astonishing power.

Especially the few in the lead, whose strength was peerless.

"Bang!"

When the two sides collided,

Ash’s guards were no match at all.

In a short time, they were wiped out.

And Ash himself rushed up at this moment.

However, he was too young after all; how could he contend with them?

He was already at a disadvantage.

"Boom!"

As his body retreated,

Cynthia pressed forward again.

This time, she aimed directly at his chest.

If this sword struck, Ash would surely die.

Just then,

May lost her footing and fell beside Ash.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound,

their bodies slammed hard onto the ground.

"Hiss!"

Ash let out a cry of pain.

Then, ignoring everything else,

he grabbed May and tried to flee.

"Swish!"

Just then,

Cynthia’s sword light sliced through his clothes in an instant.

Blood dripped down.

May’s face was deathly pale.

At this moment, Ash let out an angry shout.

"Cynthia, even as a ghost, I will not let you go!"

He had been thoroughly enraged by Cynthia.

He felt his heart trembling.

This was the person he liked, yet for the sake of power, she would even kill her own sister.

This made his heart ache like a knife wound.

"Hehe, once you are a ghost, do you still have the right to speak to me!"

Cynthia said with disdain.

Then, she raised her palm,

ready to strike down.

Just then,

"Slap!"

A crisp sound rang out.

Cynthia’s figure was sent sprawling onto the ground.

She was filled with disbelief. ### CHAPTER 444

She had actually been slapped, and by an ordinary person at that.

This made her fly into a rage from shame.

"Bastard!"

Then, she climbed up.

Looking at the crowd, her eyes filled with resentment.

She said coldly,

"You dare hit me? Do you know who I am!"

After the words fell, a cold killing intent radiated from her body.

"I don't care who you are; today, you dared to strike the Young Master, you must die!"

An elder of the Dark Night Elf race said slowly.

He was responsible for protecting Ash’s safety.

How could he allow Cynthia to continue harming Ash?

"You are from the Dark Night Elf race!"

Upon hearing this, Cynthia dared not be negligent.

She said,

"Fine, since you are looking for death, don't blame me!"

After the words fell,

a full moon rose behind her.

Bright radiance spilled down.

Then, a longbow appeared in her hand.

She drew the bow and nocked an arrow.

In an instant, endless meteors shot toward the elder of the Dark Night Elf race.

Only then did the elder realize

that Cynthia had ambushed him.

But it was too late to run.

"Bang! Bang!"

With a series of bangs,

the elder was pinned to the ground.

His entire body turned into a mist of blood.

"Hiss!"

Seeing this,

everyone present gasped.

Although the Dark Night Elf race was a mid-tier faction in the Sanctuary,

they were not someone just anyone could provoke.

Yet now, they had been slapped to death by Ash’s people. ### CHAPTER 445

This left them feeling shocked.

"Ash, are you alright!"

Seeing that her brother was injured,

May asked.

Her eyes were filled with heartache.

"I'm fine, I can still hold on!"

Ash insisted.

"Haha, brat, you’re quite tough.

I tell you, from now on, I am May’s husband; get lost!"

Cynthia said with a laugh.

"You dare insult the Princess? Today, I will not spare you!"

Upon hearing this, the Dark Night Elf elder roared angrily.

"Boom!"

Just as his voice fell,

a meteorite shot toward him.

Its speed was incredibly swift.

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by screams, the elder’s head was blown apart in an instant.

The meteorite emitted a brilliant golden light.

Then, it spread to the surroundings.

"Sizzle!"

Those members of the Dark Elf race didn't even have time to dodge.

In an instant, they were engulfed by the scorching energy.

They turned to ash in a moment.

The scene was deathly silent.

Those members of the Dark Night Elf race finally showed fear in their eyes.

May looked at Ash and said,

"Ash, let’s leave quickly.

Otherwise, it will be very troublesome!"

Her voice was filled with anxiety.

Just as her words fell,

Ash spoke.

"Sister, we can't get away; Cynthia will definitely catch up to us!"

Ash’s face was filled with despair.

He knew in his heart that he was likely doomed today.

"Hehe, brat, I advise you to obediently come back with me.

Otherwise, you know the consequences.

I will make you wish you were dead!"

Upon hearing this,

Cynthia said coldly.

Ash frowned.

Then, he said,

"You leave first; remember, do not step foot in Desert City again!"

After the voice rang out, Ash nodded and led May toward the distance.

However, as he left, he looked back with great concern.

But when he saw Ash’s determined gaze,

his worry vanished.

Then, the two siblings walked forward.

Just then,

Cynthia made her move.

The bowstring in her hand was pulled back.

A pitch-black feathered arrow gleamed with cold light. ### CHAPTER 446

It flew directly toward Ash.

"Swish!"

This strike was as fast as lightning.

In the blink of an eye, it reached Ash’s back.

However, Ash was already prepared.

He also took out a weapon.

"Clang!"

Sparks flew.

This was Ash’s weapon, named Juque.

It was purchased from the system store, a divine weapon of immense power.

More importantly, it provided a huge boost to the user’s combat power.

Therefore, even though Cynthia was powerful, she was forced back several steps after the collision.

She looked disheveled.

This made her fly into a rage from shame.

Especially the members of the Dark Night Elf race.

Their eyes were filled with shock.

One had to know that Cynthia’s strength was immense.

Even they could not withstand such an attack.

Yet, Ash had actually blocked it.

How could they not be surprised?

"Damn it!"

Cynthia said through gritted teeth.

"Bang!"

Just then, May’s foot had already kicked Cynthia in the chest.

A scorching gale swept over.

Beads of sweat appeared on Cynthia’s forehead.

"Roar!"

She let out a roar at the same time.

But she had no way to stop May’s attack.

After all, May was at the peak of the Eighth-Stage Saint realm.

She was not much different from Cynthia.

Moreover, May had a purely powerful physique.

This gave her the advantage. ### CHAPTER 447
