Chapter 519 - 369: The Unyielding Warrior
"Back away."
Li Yi bellowed fiercely, sensing that Ju Jiao’s strength had relaxed. He immediately seized the opportunity to launch another punch. The power of this punch, equally astonishing, shone with a silver brilliance. Divine Power burst forth as a terrifying Fist Power, pushing the nearly three-meter-tall giant backward several meters once again.
There appeared a clear Fist Mark on Ju Jiao’s chest, his large frame staggering backward, but he quickly caught his footing again with his great sword planted on the ground.
However, the shock on his face did not subside: "Are you a Divine Blood Warrior?"
High Priest Mai Sui said, "The silver bones, there’s no mistake. He is indeed a Divine Blood Warrior, the descendant of a god, with the blood of the divine flowing through his veins. He is not the same as the mutant beasts from the canyon who ate the Divine Fruit by accident. No wonder he went to the valley where the gods slumber, he must be following the guidance of his bloodline, seeking the inheritance from the gods."
"We were wrong, all of us. Our ancestors were followers of the divine. After the fall of the gods, they settled here, guarding this canyon generation after generation. That’s the origin of Shoushan Village. Now that the descendant of the gods has awakened the bloodline and returned, they’ve become the enemy of our Shoushan Village. What a cruel turn of events."
The High Priest seemed to be stimulated by something, muttering to himself while staring vacantly at the silver skeleton revealed by Li Yi.
"High Priest, are we still going to take action?" At this moment, Ju Jiao was also caught in hesitation.
He could ruthlessly kill an evil outsider, yet, he found himself unable to strike against a warrior of divine blood.
After briefly hesitating, the expression of the High Priest turned fierce once again: "Kill, we must kill. Blood vengeance has been formed. Even if he is a descendant of the gods, he must die. The ancestors are gone. For the peace and future of Shoushan Village, we have no other choice. We must not hesitate, even if it means going against our ancestors’ will."
"Besides, he now bears a grudge against us. If we show mercy now, he will destroy our village in the future. Ju Jiao, you are the most powerful warrior of Shoushan Village, you cannot be bound by the ancestors’ will. Think of your wife, your children, and the livelihood of so many people from Shoushan Village. You must bear this responsibility."
