It is no wonder they feel this way; their individual combat capabilities are indeed inferior to those of the Xia cultivators. It was only by employing a combined energy strike to summon a Blood Angel—far exceeding their individual strength—that they had managed to hold out this long, suffering casualties comparable to the Xia cultivators.
However, as their numbers dwindled, the Blood Angel began to falter, unable to fend off the attacks of the Old Celestial, let alone the numerous entities. Eric was hesitating; he understood the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth are cold. Besides, Alice and Lin Yi had set aside past grievances to save them. He had no reason to abandon Alice.
Just as Eric wrestled with his indecision, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ear. Eric felt a jolt, though he showed no outward sign of it. Instead, he said with righteous indignation, "Shi Daolin, it is a disgrace that a man of Xia would side with these entities. You have come to our Western lands to slaughter our Tian Rankers at will. The Great Demon God will not let you off! Even Lin Yi did not dare to come here and slaughter us so brazenly in the past!"
