Cultivation Online Chapter 1347 Leviathan

Chapter 1347 Leviathan

’Should I assist them?’ Tian Yang pondered to himself as he watched the experts fight the Leviathan.

All the experts battling the Leviathan had cultivations far surpassing his own, and Tian Yang lacked experience in confronting sea demons. Nevertheless, the dire situation suggested that the Leviathan might wipe out the experts. In such an event, the ship, along with everyone aboard, would be the Leviathan’s next target.

Suddenly, the captain made another announcement, "Esteemed guests, please try to remain calm, but our ship is currently blocked by a Leviathan. Our experts are already fighting the sea demon to protect the ship, but if you are at least a Spirit Lord, please lend your hand! You will be greatly awarded for your contributions!"

Shortly after the announcement was made, several Spirit Lords including a Spirit King joined the fight against the Leviathan.

Seeing these cultivators bravely charge into battle with the Leviathan, Tian Yang punched himself in the face and shouted at himself, "Damn it, Tian Yang! Why the hell are you hesitating now?! You came out here to train! You have faced death countless times now, so why are you scared now?! Fight! Fight, damn it!"

Tian Yang eventually overcame his fear and flew toward the Leviathan.

After a gruesome battle that lasted over many hours, Tian Yang and the others emerged victorious and slew the Leviathan. However, it was not a victory worth celebrating, as they had lost almost all of their forces to the Leviathan.

In the end, only ten Spirit Lords and one Spirit King survived the fight, all of them heavily injured.

"Thank you! Thank you, heroes!"

The people onboard the ship surrounded Tian Yang and the others, showering them with cheers and compliments.

"..."

Tian Yang ignored these people and went straight back to his room.

Inside, he consumed a recovery pill and started mending his wounds. Fortunately for him, he came out with the least injuries among all the fighters.

Sometime later, Tian Yang stopped his cultivation when he heard a knock on his door.

"Who is it?" he called out.

"I-It’s me! How are your injuries, Senior Brother?" Huang Xiao Li’s voice responded.

Instead of feeling joy upon hearing her voice, Tian Yang’s expression shifted to a frown.

"They are fine, why are you here?"

"I brought you some medicine just in case. Do you mind opening the door?"

Tian Yang opened the door to see Huang Xiao Li standing outside, and she was accompanied by two guards, both Spirit Lords.

Tian Yang’s frown grew deeper when he saw these Spirit Lords. He knew that the Huang Family had a dozen bodyguards, all of whom were Spirit Lords. Yet, none of them participated in the battle with the Leviathan.

In Tian Yang’s eyes, their absence from the battle felt like a betrayal to all those who willingly confronted the Leviathana spit in their faces. Their selfishness, by abstaining from the fight, seemed like a direct affront and likely contributed to the increased casualties.

Without any hesitation, Tian Yang spoke in a cold voice, "If you’d truly cared, you would’ve sent your bodyguards to help."

Huang Xiao Li’s face was drained of all colors after hearing Tian Yang’s words and seeing the cold expression on his face.

"I-It’s not what you think!" she quickly said, fearing that he might close the door in her face if she hesitated even a moment.

"We told them to fight the Leviathan the moment we realized what was happening. However, they all refused to join the battle no matter how much we asked! I swear!" Huang Xiao Li explained the situation to him.

"I also wanted to join the fight when I saw you fighting with the others, but I was stopped by my father, who told me I would only be running to my grave..."

"..."

Tian Yang didn’t blame Huang Xiao Li for not participating in the fight, as her father was right when he said that she’d only be walking into her demise by fighting the Leviathan that killed many Spirit Lords and Spirit Kings. A Spirit Master like her wouldn’t have lasted even a minute if she were there.

Tian Yang glared at the bodyguards standing nonchalantly behind her and asked them, "Is what she said true? That you refused to fight?"

"Yeah, it’s true. What about it?" The bodyguard on the right said in a nonchalant tone.

"We were only hired to protect the Huang Family. The Leviathan wasn’t our concern," said the other bodyguard.

Tian Yang frowned and argued back, "If we’d lost the fight, the Leviathan would’ve targeted the ship next, killing everyone on it, including the Huang Family."

"But you didn’t, and we’re all still alive."

"If all of you had perished, the Leviathan would have been weakened enough for us to handle, and we would have been safe."

Tian Yang felt his blood boiling from anger upon hearing their response.

"Pathetic! And you dare call yourselves cultivators? You’re an embarrassment!" Tian Yang sneered in disgust.

"What’s your problem? Are you trying to pick a fight?" The bodyguards glared at him with killing intent.

"The two of you should leave now." Huang Xiao Li suddenly spoke while glaring at them.

"But we were ordered to accompany you just in case something were to happen."

"I will be fine with him, so leave. If anything happens to me, you can tell my father that I insisted on being alone."

"Don’t blame us if anything were to happen ’cause I won’t accept any responsibility." The bodyguards didn’t show any hesitation and quickly left the scene.

Once they were alone, Huang Xiao Li looked at Tian Yang and lowered her head, "I’m truly sorry. Please let me apologize on their behalf."

Tian Yang rubbed his eyes and sighed, "Forget it. I am not angry at you, nor do you have any reason to lower your head for those pathetic bastards."

"They are still my family’s bodyguard, so..."

"That only heightens my concern for your safety. Were I in your position, I wouldn’t trust my back to them, let alone my life. Instead of protecting, they are the type to use you as bait to escape," Tian Yang expressed, emphasizing the lack of trust he would place in such bodyguards.

Huang Xiao Li was rendered speechless by his words, not that she could argue with it.
