Chapter 4097
"Honorable Master Darby!
Leia cried in shock at the scene before her, worry written all over her features.
Grunt's gaze on Darryl hardened as he spoke with barely-concealed satisfaction. "What else have you got? Come on, bring
it all out before you lose your chance."
As he spoke, Grunt landed swiftly at the cave entrance. He gripped the golden spear in his hand, taking his time to make
his way toward Darryl.
F*ck! 1
Seeing Grunt approach filled Darryl with an unspeakable rage, yet there was also helplessness.
"Stop!"
Before he could reach any closer, a cry had sounded through the air. Leia had appeared in front of Darryl in one swift move,
blocking him with her figure.
"You shall not harm Honorable Master Darby as long as I am here." Leia stared Grunt dead in the eye, her exquisite features
hardened with determination.
Leia knew that her skills were no match for Grunt's, and she would hardly be able to take even three attacks. Yet, she had
no choice. Darryl was a hero to the Demon Warrior Tribe, as well as the man she liked. She could not just stand idly by and
watch as Grunt killed him.

Darryl was torn between feeling touched and panicked. He said, "This is not your battle.
Please get out of the way."
Leia stood frozen on the spot, devoid of hesitation or the will to move. Darryl was very
much touched by that, but that fight was a personal grievance between him and Grunt. He
could not drag her into it, and he also knew that she would be no match for Grunt.
Leia refused to move. With an expression of steel determination, she said,' Don't worry,
Honorable Master Darby. I won't let any harm come to you."
Darryl did not know what to do with her insistence.
"Tsk, tsk..."
Grunt could not help the smirk he let out as well, mocking Darryl. "You're quite the man,
Darryl. There seem to be women willing to throw themselves in front of you wherever you
go. The great Nine Heaven Sage, relying on a lady to fight for him. Would you be able to
live that down?"
Grunt bristled with rage as he thought of Princess Dorothy.
F*ck! Darryl had taken the girl of his dreams from him, and then he had gotten into an
entanglement with the White Tiger King's daughter. There was no way he could let a
b*stard like that live, he had to get rid of him 1
However, Darryl remained silent with a cold smile.
Grunt's eyes flashed as he looked at Leia. "So you're the White Tiger King's eldest
daughter. Lady Leia, let this be a warning that Darryl Darby is nothing but a lustful pervert,
and no good will come from helping him.
"Shut your mouth!"
Leia retaliated at once, saying coldly, ' Honorable Master Darby is a hero to the Demon
Warrior tribe, and he's one of the greatest men I know. He's nothing like what you just
described."
Leia held her hands up, poised for a fight. Her expression was deathly solemn. "Let it be
known now that as long as I am here today, you shall not harm Honorable Master Darby."
Her voice was graceful, but her tone spared no doubt or mercy.
Grunt's face darkened as he flushed an ugly shade of crimson at her words.
He was a distinguished general, greatly treasured by the Nine Heavens Emperor. Would he
be subjected to such remarks from a Demon Warrior lady? What would people say if that
got out? 2
"Very well."

the White Tiger King's daughter. Now get out of the way, or I'll mess you up real bad."
As he finished his sentence, a wave of godly energy emanated from Grunt's body. It rippled through the air, weaving
tension into the atmosphere. 2
Sensing his aura, Leia's heart thudded uncomfortably. Yet, her face remained determined. "You keep speaking so lowly of
Honorable Master Darby, Grunt, but you're the lowly one here. Your ambush on Master Darby cost him his leg, and here you
are trying to taint his name again. Imbeciles like you deserve to be taken out for good."
Leia raised her hand once again, brandishing a long sword. It glistened as she moved, charging in Grunt's direction.
Leia was far from weak. She summoned all her power into the sword to protect Darryl! The long sword pierced through the
atmosphere, crashing through the air it passed!
"Leia!"
Darryl was shocked at the sight of Leia making a move. He scrambled to say, "Don't be rash, please." Leia was far from
weak, but she was hardly any match for Grunt when it came down to a battle. I
Grunt was, after all, the General of the Imperial Sky Palace and the right hand-man of the Nine Heaven Emperor.
Darryl rushed forward to stop her, but he was a step too late.
Grunt smiled coldly as Leia charged forward. He stood rooted to the spot, completely unmoving!
"You want to teach me a lesson? I think you hardly have the right to do that. ■
Grunt sneered, channeling a burst of godly energy. The long golden spear materialized in his hands, emitting a brilliant
golden ray as he met Leia's attack!
