Yaeji gave the order and used the Shunpo technique to rush upwards.

"Clap~"

He gripped the tree branch with his hands, hanging there.

"Human, human, transvestite."

Yaeji's eyes lit up; it was a demon!

"Click~"

Looking up to his left, he saw that the branch he was holding onto had not yet been replenished due to the prolonged drought.

"Oh!"

Yae Ji gasped. He couldn't possibly use Instant Step when he jumped down, so his legs went numb from the impact.

"Brother? Are you alright?"

"It's alright." Yae Ji gripped the scabbard at his waist, and in an instant, the sword, forged from stone ore, transformed into a cherry blossom blizzard.

"Take Rin and get away from here."

Yae Sakura nodded obediently and carried Rin deeper into the area.

Yae Ji knew very well that if it were just him, he would turn around and leave without a second thought. But Sakura and Rin were behind him. He could outrun warhorses, but what about the two of them?

Monsters don't care who you are; they attack whoever gets close to them.

Unless something is attracting it.

Not far away, the boy, who had just entered the dead forest, held his breath and tried his best to control his warhorse so that it wouldn't crash into a tree in a moment of impulsiveness.

Suddenly, he saw a figure ahead.

"Run! There's a monster behind you!"

The boy roared, but the figure remained motionless.

Yaeji thought to herself, "This is a bad thing."

"If you hadn't attracted this demon, would I be in this situation?"

"Don't just stand there! Run!"

As they drew closer, the boy's roar reached their ears.

"Run to the side!"

Yaeji was even more speechless, thinking to herself that he meant well.

However, there is a very serious problem that has not been solved.

His legs were still numb.

Chapter Fifty-Three is a good person

"Run!"

The boy on horseback roared!

Given the distance between them, if they were to change direction again, it would probably be too late.

Yaeji glanced at the boy curiously, then focused her attention on the demon wolf behind him.

With his thumb pushing aside the guard of Sakura Fubuki's sword, Yae Ji's expression grew increasingly serious.

He could sense that the aura emanating from that enormous wolf demon was even stronger than that of the bear demon and the blood-red twin wolves.

His main fighting strength relies entirely on Sakura Fubuki, but since Sakura Fubuki absorbed the strange crystal left behind by Daisuke last time, she has become much weaker, which makes Yae Ji very uncertain.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of horses galloping past on their hooves echoed in his ears; in fact, those people were riding past him on horseback.

The young man on horseback stared intently at Yae Ji, his beautiful face flashing briefly in his eyes, before his warhorse carried him away from that area.

"Hmph!" The young man was annoyed. So many cavalrymen had already died, and now the disaster had been brought to others. He was truly frustrated.

"My lord!" The short swordsman on horseback behind the boy said urgently, pointing in the direction of Yae Sakura: "Look there!"

The boy looked over and saw a girl carrying another little girl on her back. The distance was too far, so the girl's face was not very clear, but judging from the hair color alone, she was definitely the sister of the girl from before!

The boy felt even more troubled and thought about many things in an instant.

The girl was taking her younger sister to the big city to buy supplies when he suddenly disrupted their peace. No wonder she didn't want to run away; she actually wanted to fight the monster herself to give her sisters a chance to escape!

It's unknown how the remaining two sisters will feel after losing their older sister.

The more the boy thought about it, the more he felt he was a worthless wretch, and he shouted, "Turn around! Take those two sisters with you!"

"My lord!" the short swordsman cried urgently, "We're barely able to protect ourselves, and there's still danger behind us!"

"Should I listen to you or me?" The boy glared back fiercely, but his words weren't particularly offensive.

Thinking of the young city lord's temper, the short swordsman secretly groaned and had no choice but to follow the boy and turn around, rushing towards the young ladies.

However, the more he looked at the young woman, the more familiar she seemed.

At this moment, after hearing the boy's angry roar, Yae Ji also faced his first confrontation with the wolf demon.

He has killed many wolves, whether by sneak attack or by direct confrontation, he is always the victor!

My legs and feet are still a little numb, but I don't know...

"bring it on."

The wolf demon, forced to slow down in the dead forest, opened its blood-red maw, wanting to swallow the little person in front of it whole.

In its view, even those relatively tall humans could not harm it, let alone this small human cub.

A foul stench swept in, and Yae Ji even caught a familiar smell of blood within it, causing her eyes to narrow.

Draw your sword half an inch!

Just as those gleaming, sharp teeth were about to touch Yae Ji, he instantly retreated backward!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Hundreds of cherry-colored arc-shaped blade lights erupted from the half-foot-long blade of the spirit sword, raging wildly on the wolf demon!

Dozens of cuts of varying sizes were immediately made on the smooth, silvery fur that could not be scratched with a sword or pierced with an arrow.

However, it did not cause much damage.

The cherry blossom-colored arc of light was fleeting, and Yae Ji had no expectations.

All he wanted was the Scarlet Cherry Blossom Mark.

"Swoosh!"

The wolf demon opened its blood-red maw but didn't bite anything. While the entire demon was still in a daze, the figure that had flashed behind it had already sheathed its sword!

"Click—"

"Click~"

A sharp slash of a blade rang out, followed by the sound of something breaking.

Yaeji immediately turned around. He knew that a single blade return would at most only result in injury to such a demon.

The sharp bone spikes on the wolf demon's hind legs shattered, and some strange crystals on them turned into powder.

"Boom!"

Unable to control its strength, the wolf slid for more than ten meters on its relatively tender belly, crashing into several large trees before finally coming to a stop.

Yaeji held his breath. This was not the result he wanted. If the blade return could hit the wolf demon's abdomen, the demon would definitely be severely injured!

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Even if he were to unleash his full power again now, he might not necessarily produce three stages of sword energy.

There will be a waiting time.

This period will be the most difficult time for him.

"Shh!"

Yae Ji seized the initiative, assuming the standard starting stance for Falling Cherry Blossom Slash, and swiftly unleashed the first strike. Cherry Blossom Blizzard activated the 'Round Dance' effect, unleashing a wave of cherry blossom-colored blades that slashed towards the wolf demon.

If he can hit the target completely, he will have a second chance to use Blade Return.

if

The wolf demon was exceptionally agile, quickly rising and leaping, only its fur grazed by the blade wave.

Naturally, Hizakura was not marked.

"Waaah!—"

The wolf demon howled and glanced at Yaeji with apprehension.

Yaeji lowered his body, ready to fight again at any moment.

As a result, the wolf demon turned tail and ran! It chose the same spot as the cavalry and chased after them relentlessly!

Yaeji was astonished. He could tell from the wolf demon's eyes that the other party was quite wary of him, so why would it abandon him to chase after those cavalry?

Even if what's inside is attracting the demon, shouldn't we deal with this opponent first? Isn't the demon wolf afraid of stabbing it in the ass?

Yaeji felt depressed.

This was the first time he had been ignored by the enemy demon.

With a swift movement, Yaeji sprang out like a spring, casually slashing with his sword, and was once again in front of the demon wolf!

He heard every single word the boy had shouted earlier.

Yae Ji admitted that she had a good impression of him and thought he was a rare good person.

This wasn't enough to make Yae Ji defend against the wolf demons for him; more importantly, the cavalry was heading towards Sakura and the others!

What if Sakura and Rin get involved?

Yae no Ji dared not gamble, so he had no choice but to go for it.
