Inside the other carriage, the three brothers remained oblivious about Dan and the two women's plan. Humming a tune and tapping their toes with the rhythm, they looked cheerful and confident, and their eyes glistened in anticipation.
Roaaar~!
A fierce chorus of roars filled the air and the three brothers' expression changed. The horses that pulled the carriages froze in shock as screams of surprise echoed out.
Grace and Natalie dashed out of the luxurious carriage along with Dan who looked pale and trembling in fear. The two women dashed towards Stanley and Malachi and tearfully pleaded.
"Big brother, please help us! Beasts are coming our way!"
"Please protect us and grandpa!"
Malachi and Stanley felt the women's reliance on them and their confidence instantly shot up. The former embraced Natalie's waist while the latter also did the same. Little did they know that such actions were comparable to signing their own death warrant.
"You need not worry about that, Missus, since us Infernal Brothers are here, there's no way that these bastards could possibly hurt you..." Malachi reassured Natalie and she sweetly smiled in return.
Invigorated by the two women's support, the three brothers dashed to the front of the carriages and rotated their cultivation bases. The wind howled and dust flew in the air as the temperature around the area increased.
As if a spark thrown on a pile of a haystack, the bodies of the three exploded into a fiery blaze as they simultaneously charged at the angry beasts. Each of them taking a general direction, their swift movements were efficient and aimed to end their enemy in the fastest way as possible and without leaving any trace.
Dan's eyes flashed with an amused light and his lips lifted into a vicious smile. Floating in the air were numerous system windows that constantly monitored the three's conditions and once Dan concluded that they're exhausted, the three of them would strike.
Right now, Natalie and Grace embraced each other whilst trembling and Dan stood still, froze in fear. Malachi snickered in his heart upon witnessing their display of cowardice.
"The women are frail and the only man is a coward, it seems like our job this time will be quite easy...Back then, I made a mistake of killing her, but now, I have learned from the past and I'll definitely keep her alive this time..." Malachi's eyes flashed with a cold light as the beast before him, exploded into a pile of ashes.
Under the three brother's might, the beasts soon realized that they couldn't possibly finish their enemies. However, the temptations of a Heaven Grade Artifact wasn't something that beasts of low intelligence like them could endure. With a howl towards the skies, they summoned their strongest comrade, a Thunder Winged Tiger.
As the name says, the Thunder Winged Tiger could attack on the ground and in the skies, possessing extreme affinity and comprehension for the Lightning Laws, its attacks were swift and decisive.
"Big bro! It's a Thunder Winged Tiger! These bastards actually have such a powerful beast as their leader!" Stanley's expression went pale, a mature Thunder Winged Tiger could battle against a Peak Divine Soul Cultivator.
Cultivators with the same cultivation as beasts couldn't possibly defeat them. In this case, the three of them needed to combine their strength together and defeat the Thunder Winged Tiger.
"If they didn't have such a powerful leader behind them, then everything would be too bland!" Fighting intent surged within Malachi's eyes and he wildly laughed as fire blazed on both of his arms. Rushing towards the Thunder Winged Tiger, both man and beast roared as a fierce collision disturbed the battlefield.
Bang!
Finley and Stanley turned towards the source of the explosion as the former shouted, "Big Bro! Don't attack it, yet! Don't leave the formation!"
The latter clicked his tongue, "Damn, Big Bro is too hot-headed, did he forget that we still need to protect those three?" Summoning a fire familiar, Stanley sent it towards the direction of Dan's carriage and ordered it to protect the carriage with its life.
The Thunder Winged Tiger's eyes dangerously narrowed when it saw that a mere human whose cultivation was two stages lower than it actually dared to challenge its authority. With thunder flashing around its body, a tempest surged and attacked Malachi.
"Come on, come on, come on! It wouldn't be fun if it's not like this!" Malachi howled and summoned a fire tornado before hurling it over the Thunder Winged Tiger. The shockwaves generated from the collision of their attacks instantly charred every beast around them.
"Shit, the beasts are in a state of frenzy, there are only two reasons as to why they are so adamant on kicking us out from their territory..." Stanley's eyes flashed in a critical light, "Usually, beasts would back down when they notice that their enemy was a tough nut to crack. However, this time..."
Stretching both his hands, several beasts burned into dust as Stanley continued his monologue, "Either they are protecting something or someone is manipulating them from the shadows..." Taking a glance at Dan's carriage, his eyes flashed in a venomous light but soon dismissed the idea.
"That's impossible, I even triple-checked it but found that the three of them didn't contain any traces of Spiritual Qi, they are mere mortals, though the possibility is still there, why would they do such a thing that would definitely cause their death?" Stanley shook his head and continued his assault.
The battle between Malachi and The Thunder Winged Tiger reached a crescendo with both parties suffering a considerable amount of damage. Malachi's robes were torn and he looked bedraggled with numerous gashes on his torso, while the Thunder Winged Tiger's wings were charred and the light within its eyes, dimmed.
"Brothers! Accompany me here, let us combine our strength together!" Malachi roared and the two brothers abandoned Dan's carriage and ran towards Malachi's side, rotating their cultivation bases, the three brothers combined all their strength and summoned a fiery Asura that burned everything into ashes except the carriage that they were protecting.
Back inside the carriage, Dan lightly laughed, "It seems like this guys actually have such a kind heart inside, to think that they didn't forget to protect us even in such dire straits..." Observing the conditions of the three, Dan's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
Natalie and Grace shrugged, they distanced themselves from the three brothers, after all, they were about to die, why care about the dead?
"Ladies, get ready, our time will soon arrive..." Dan mumbled under his breath, "Let them experience the taste of victory first before sending them deep into the depths of despair..." His cold words sent a chill down the ladies' spines as both of them shivered.
