Chapter 5377
He managed to send both Lemuel and Latrusse flying several meters away with a powerful
blast of his aura.
In the meantime, the other cultivators from the Four Ancient Races started attacking
Qairo.
While a new round of battle had begun, James was left sitting by himself in the middle of
the battlefield.
No one tried to attack James since he barely posed any threat at the moment.
Also, those from the Four Ancient Races were worried that they might antagonize a
Transcendental Bliss Rank cultivator by killing James off. It would only mean trouble if that
said cultivator decided to exact revenge on their people afterward.
On the other hand, Lemuel and Latrusse exchanged glances as they finally steadied
themselves at a distant spot.

"Should we make a run for it now?" Lemuel transmitted his voice to Latrusse. "Yui Yeftero
is too strong. We can’t stop him with our current powers. I could hold him back for a while
if I unleashed the Feimsurge Art. However, that would expose my identity and put the
members of the Dieux Academy in danger.”
Latrusse had a grim expression on his face.
Even though he had achieved the middle stage of the Holy
Celestial Rank, Latrusse was still no match for Yui who had only entered the early stage.
Moreover, he could not risk exposing his identity by using the signature skills distinctive to
the Taeytons.
"Hey, puppet! Hang in there! We're leaving first!"
Lemuel called aloud in Qairo's direction. Then, he swiftly teleported away from where the
others were. Latrusse followed closely behind him.
Seeing that those two had fled, Yui turned around and joined the others in subduing Qairo.

Although Qairo had impeccable powers, it was still too much for him to handle that many
superb cultivators simultaneously.
The number of cuts and injuries on his body grew as he gradually failed to block or deflect
the seemingly endless attacks.
However, Qairo was akin to a war machine that was programmed to protect the princess.
He had no fear of pain and death. Qairo would continue fighting up to his final breath to
ensure the princess' safety.
James felt extremely conflicted as he watched Qairo fight the others alone.
He did not blame Lemuel and Latrusse for taking off. The situation was getting out of
hand, and there was frankly not much they could do at that point. If it were him, James
would choose not to fight Yui under these circumstances too.
Still, it broke James' heart a little to see Qairo get beaten to a pulp.
The man was fighting three Yeftero elders, three Holy Celestial Rank cultivators, and Yui all
by himself. He had given his all and lasted for so long.

James felt it would be a shame if Qairo was exterminated just like that.
"Stop!"
James' voice reverberated through the space in that area.
He slowly got to his feet and said, "Yui Yeftero, you may proceed with the third hit."
Upon hearing his words, Lemuel let out an exclamation. " That fellow has gone insane!
He's in no shape to take the third hit from Yui!"
Those men had stopped fighting.
Qairo teleported and reappeared next to James. However, he dropped to the floor the next
instant as he had exhausted his energy and fainted.
Yui emanated a tremendous amount of aura as he directed his gaze at James. He said in a
steely voice, "You should probably reconsider this. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to
survive my third attack. I do not wish to kill you, nor do I want to make an enemy out of
the Theognostos. This is between the Four Ancient Races and the Glaciem Race. I hope
you'll stay out of this."
James knew very well what Yui said was true. He had merely stopped the men earlier to
help Qairo out of goodwill. 'What should I do now? James pondered anxiously.
