They had no choice but to fight back.
"Why are you still here!? Run!" Dax yelled when he saw that Darryl did not run away but stayed with him. Dax blocked the sword with his ax.
"Ignorance kills." Abbess Mother Serendipity scoffed.
'He was only a Master General. What made him think he could fight. He was asking to be killed.' she thought.
Without warning, Abbess Mother Serendipity moved swiftly, and her sword went right through Dax's heart.
Instantly, blood gushed out of his chest, uncontrollably. Dax slowly fell to the ground. The sword went through his body.
"Argh!" Dax groaned and staggered in pain, his aura weakening immediately.
"Dax!" Darryl groaned as he watched Dax in pain, shivering.
He rushed toward Dax to hold him up, but by then, Dax's face had already turned pale as blood kept spilling out of him, staining his body. He could feel that he would not make it this time, but he did not regret what he did.
"Dax..." Darryl groaned with anger, his eyes bloodshot as he was overwhelmed with agony.
Meanwhile, all of the Darby members were overjoyed and excited.
'Haha! Dax was so arrogant moments ago, and now Abbess Mother Serendipity has killed him! Haha! It was such a good decision to host the Abbess Mother Serendipity and the Emei followers!' the family members thought.
On the other hand, Darryl's eyes were red as he held on to Dax tightly while tears streamed down his cheeks. "Dax, Dax, stay awake! You need to stay awake!"
Dax's face was ashen and white. He used up all his strength to smile a little and mouthed weakly "Why... why are you crying... I-I'm not... not dead yet. Darryl... remember... don't... don't donate..."
"Shut up!" Abbess Mother Serendipity gradually walked closer to Darryl. Her delicate face showed no emotion. "Darryl, you're next."
She raised her sword and pointed it at Darryl.
She did not feel bad for stabbing Dax. She thought whoever befriended Darryl must be a bastard like him, too.
"Bring it on! I'll fight you!" Darryl raised his head and gave Abbess Mother Serendipity a deadly stare.
He exuded an air of violence. He raised his hand, waiting for his Blood Drinking Sword to appear, ready to fight her.
'I didn't fight you because you're an Elder, but it doesn't mean I'm afraid of you.' he thought.
However, Dax stopped him and mumbled "Darryl, please, run... run... Don't get killed..."
"Argh!" Darryl groaned in objection as he carried Dax in his arms and ran toward the window, ready to jump.
"Trying to get away?" Abbess Mother Serendipity called out before he could jump as she launched her sword at Darryl.
Ding!
In a blink of na eye, the long sword stabbed Darryl right in the back. However, no blood gushed out of him. Instead, all they saw was a flash of light.
It was the Celestial Silkworm Armor!
The armor saved him after wearing it for one day. However, Abbess Mother Serendipity was way too powerful. Even though the sword did not go into his body, her inner energy was so powerful that Darryl spat out blood from hsi mouth. Luckily, he jumped from the ward, which was only on the second floor.
'What!?' everyone thought.
Everyone was confused that the Abbess Mother Serendipity did not hurt him. How come?
Even Abbess Mother Serendipity shivered a little.
'What just happened?' she thought.
She knew well enough that her sword would severely injure a person even if he or she was a Martial Marquis or even a Martial Saint! Her expression became serious, and she jumped out the window to follow Darryl. She wanted Darryl dead no matter what.
