Chapter 1358: Sinner
The panicked Lord of Herman watched as the armies around him crumbled into disarray under You Ming and Mo Ningchen’s assault, and, grasping that the situation of others was even worse than his own, he immediately harbored thoughts of retreat.
He had already realized that he was no match for this young man from Xia Country, but he did not believe that Su Chengyu’s strength was enough to completely stop him from escaping.
After all, this fellow before him was a whole realm lower than himself; however, just as Lord of Herman considered retreating, You Ming suddenly appeared behind him, watching him coldly.
Although she did not make a move, she had effectively cut off his retreat.
Lord of Herman froze on the spot, trembling as he asked, "What exactly do you want?"
"It was you who wanted us dead first."
Su Chengyu spoke calmly, giving You Ming a grateful glance.
Su Chengyu had also noticed Lord of Herman’s intent to retreat, but the reality was that he, like Mo Ningchen, did not possess the ability to stop a being of Martial God’s level from forcefully escaping.
Mo Ningchen could not stop Lays from escaping his grasp, and had You Ming not appeared just now, Lord of Herman would have definitely fled swiftly down that path.
The chance to pursue was there, but once he reached Linbei City, it was highly likely that Su Chengyu would still be unable to do anything to him.
"I am merely following orders! I bear no enmity towards any of you!" Lord of Herman said urgently, sensing that the tide was turning against him and seeking only a way to save his own life.
