Now, looking at the angry gazes of the villagers, the faces of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others didn't look good.
Clearly, the situation that unfolded before them was completely unexpected.
But they were unwilling to let Liu Yuan go just like that.
The situation had reached this point, and they had completely severed ties with Liu Yuan.
Therefore, they had to get rid of Liu Yuan.
Otherwise, if they didn't eliminate him and allowed him to continue developing...
With his terrifying talent, it wouldn't be long before he became one of the top powerhouses on the Douluo Continent.
By that time, if Liu Yuan came looking for revenge, how could they resist?
Thinking of this, the killing intent in Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's hearts grew stronger.
Although they felt slightly embarrassed by the villagers exposing their true identities, since it had come to this, they didn't need to continue pretending.
Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others all stepped forward with cold faces, their gazes turning fierce as they continued to look at the villagers. Yu Xiaogang said, "If you don't want to die, hand him over. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless later."
The villagers were also provoked by Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's words. They were already angry because they knew that Yu Xiaogang and the others had hindered the future of the children in the village. And now they wanted to attack Liu Yuan? The villagers no longer wanted to endure it, and each of them looked aggressively at Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, as if they were ready to fight to the death.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang's mouth curled up with a strong disdain. He snorted and calmly said, "So you want to die? Fine, I'll grant your wish!"
After speaking, he gestured to Tang San behind him.
"San, give them a good lesson!"
Tang San nodded in response.
Afterwards, without saying a word, he immediately summoned his martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, and controlled it to attack the villagers.
Naturally, the villagers quickly scattered in disarray.
Although they had the advantage in numbers, each of them was just an ordinary person without much soul power.
These ordinary people had no combat skills, so when they encountered a soul master, they instantly fell into defeat.
As a result, as soon as Tang San made his move, he easily suppressed the villagers. Each villager was left with bloody wounds and severe injuries. But their determination remained strong, and they never gave up on Liu Yuan.
"Hmph! Regretting now, aren't you?"
"This is the consequence of opposing me, Yu Xiaogang!"
Yu Xiaogang's face was filled with satisfaction.
Dealing with these lowly people required such extreme methods.
He wanted to make it clear to them that a soul master and an ordinary person were like nobles and dogs. Since they were dogs, they should obediently listen. Otherwise, whenever they wanted to kill him, they could do it without hesitation!
"Stop fighting. I'll go with you."
Liu Yuan also felt extremely uncomfortable.
He had considered directly confronting them with all his might.
But he was even more aware of the power difference between the two sides.
Although his innate soul power talent of level thirty was astonishing, and his giant sickle martial soul was incredibly powerful, they were still abilities that had not been fully developed.
He possessed level thirty innate soul power but lacked soul rings. He wouldn't be a match for anyone on the opposite side.
So, making a rash move would be useless.
He could also choose to protect himself and flee.
However, if he did that, he would be betraying the villagers who were sacrificing their lives to protect him.
Therefore, Liu Yuan ultimately made this decision.
Sacrifice himself to save the villagers.
Didn't Yu Xiaogang and the others want his life?
Well, here it is!
He walked forward directly and coldly spoke to Yu Xiaogang and the others.
"If you had done this earlier, wouldn't it be better?"
A smug smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face when he saw this.
He really wanted to hear Liu Yuan's thoughts.
He had given him a chance before, but he didn't cherish it. Now he must regret it, right?
However, regret was useless!
This was the consequence of opposing him, Yu Xiaogang!
Yu Xiaogang gestured to Tang San, signaling him to stop.
Upon receiving Yu Xiaogang's command, Tang San quickly ceased his actions.
Liu Yuan then approached the village chief and said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, Village Chief. This time, I have implicated all of you. Take care of yourselves in the future."
Tears streamed down the village chief's face and the faces of the villagers upon hearing this.
"You can't go with them!"
After a bitter smile, Liu Yuan didn't say much.
Now, he was at the mercy of others, a lamb to the slaughter.
As long as Yu Xiaogang and the others were willing, they could kill him and the villagers at any time.
If he didn't go with them, what could he do?
Wasn't he just causing suffering for the villagers along with himself?
With these thoughts, Liu Yuan let out a sigh and directly followed Yu Xiaogang and the others as they left.
Yu Xiaogang and the others took him to a secluded spot in the wilderness and then had Tang San, Dai Mubai, and a few others grab shovels and dig a large hole in the ground.
With a smug look on his face as he looked at Liu Yuan, Yu Xiaogang coldly chuckled, "I'll give you one last chance to become my servant."
"But because of what happened before, I don't trust you. I need you to ingest poison and obey my orders from now on. How about it?"
A strong anger welled up in Liu Yuan's eyes. "Go to hell!"
Yu Xiaogang's face immediately turned ugly. He kicked Liu Yuan, who was tied up, directly into the pit, and sneered, "You refuse my generosity and seek death!"
"Bury him!"
"If he wants to die so badly, let him die!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others picked up their shovels and began slowly burying Liu Yuan with sand and dirt.
Yu Xiaogang's twisted smile grew wider.
Liu Yuan's face was covered in sand, not only on the surface but also in his nostrils and mouth.
He soon felt a suffocating sensation, extremely uncomfortable, as if he would soon meet his demise.
But at this moment, his heart was filled with hatred.
He hated Yu Xiaogang, hated Tang San, hated the Seven Monsters of Shrek, hated Huo Yuhao...
Everyone who had inflicted harm on him today, he hated them to the core.
He had done nothing wrong, yet all the misfortune had fallen upon him, leading to this tragic outcome.
He finally understood the meaning of "the law of the jungle" and what it truly meant to be a real villain.
If he had the power, he would slaughter each and every one of these damned bastards like Yu Xiaogang and Tang San!
But it was all just wishful thinking...
Liu Yuan was dying.
He could only let out a sigh of sorrow and anger in his heart.
"I hate it!"
Afterward, his consciousness began to blur even more.
Liu Yuan had already thought that there was no hope for him, that he would live with regret for the rest of his life.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded in his ears. And for the half-dead Liu Yuan, it was like grasping at a lifeline, driving him into madness.
"Youth, do you desire revenge? Do you desire power? If you do, I can help you. The condition is that you must replace me and become the new God of Death..."
