Jack Carter instinctively squinted his eyes to avoid the blinding glare. William Clark felt a new surge of power rushing into his body, entering his mind... The force was as immense as a mountain, threatening to crush him in an instant. The world before William Clark's eyes was infinitely bright, while inside his body was utter darkness, as if he were completely cut off from this world.

Chapter 8: I Look at You, Yet Cannot Grasp You【2】

　　"Brother!"

　　In the dazzling, bizarre light, Edward Clark desperately rushed toward the bedside. Jack Carter raised a hand and pressed down on Edward Clark's shoulder, preventing her from moving even half a step forward; she couldn't even call out again. No one would have expected that, at this moment of overwhelming brilliance that would leave any ordinary person utterly stunned, this seemingly frail little girl could still manage to cry out.

　　Brother? Edward Clark?

　　A sliver of light began to appear in William Clark's world of darkness, and within that glimmer, the everyday smiles and frowns of Edward Clark flickered.

　　"You actually dare to resist me..." Eric Carter's body suddenly trembled, his sinister words filled with naked menace. "Hand over your body, obediently."

　　The sky that had just shown a trace of light now closed off again, the massive mountain once more blocking out the sky and crashing down. In the face of such overwhelming force, willpower became meaningless; no matter how strong-willed an ant, it could never defeat an elephant. The gap in strength between the two sides was simply too vast.

　　Eric Carter's power seemed to pour endlessly into William Clark's body. This soul-seizing reincarnation technique was his first attempt as well. Everything was proceeding smoothly when suddenly William Clark's body convulsed, and a burst of red light flashed in his mind. In an instant, the red light transformed into a wall, colliding head-on with the reincarnation dragon technique that was charging forward at high speed.

　　"What is this...?"

　　Eric Carter's body jolted violently. The light that had entered William Clark's body through his seven orifices all recoiled back into his own body. Thud! Thud! Thud! The evil dragon staggered back three steps, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his sinister lips. His narrow eyes stared at William Clark's blood-gushing form, filled with shock and uncertainty. "Dragon technique! There's a dragon technique in his mind! A dragon technique sealing memories! How could it be hidden so well?"

　　William Clark was in so much pain he no longer knew what pain was. His brain felt as if it were being torn apart, blood continuously oozing from his pores, his body convulsing uncontrollably.

　　"Boss, it looks like your soul-seizing reincarnation dragon technique failed." Jack Carter stood not far away, smiling with narrowed eyes, arms crossed over his chest, watching Eric Carter shake his head lightly. "Seems this reincarnation technique still isn't perfect."

　　Eric Carter shook his head gently, as if flinging away the surprise from his face. The confident, sinister look returned to his expression. "That dragon technique was really well hidden. Although it's just a dragon technique with no power at all, unable to harm anyone, it just so happens that the soul-seizing reincarnation technique also has no offensive or destructive power, so it was blocked by it. What a pity... what a pity..."

　　Eric Carter's face was a bit pale, his narrow eyes fixed on William Clark's bleeding body as he shook his head repeatedly. "Such a good reincarnation body. If only I'd checked more carefully. I was careless, I was careless. What a shame..."

　　"Brother..." Edward Clark ran to the bedside, pushing William Clark's body with all her strength. "Brother, wake up!"

　　Jack Carter maintained his ever-sinister smile. "Boss, what now? We can't stay here any longer. His body doesn't seem able to withstand long-distance travel. Why not leave someone with forty percent innate dragon blood for Longmen? Once he recovers at Longmen, we can snatch him back?"

　　"Of course, kill him." The words that spilled from Eric Carter's sinister lips were icy and chilling!

　　"Kill him?" Jack Carter frowned. "Wouldn't it be better to let Longmen take him?"

　　Eric Carter's narrow eyes began to gleam as he quickly formulated a plan. Some things could only be known to himself, not even Jack Carter could be told: just now, while performing the reincarnation technique, a trace of his spiritual imprint had been left inside William Clark's body!

　　He had to get it back! Otherwise, his power would not be at its peak!

　　Although this lost trace of spiritual imprint could be replenished through cultivation, there were too many Longmen law enforcement teams in pursuit now. Any extra bit of power was valuable!

　　Eric Carter was a bit frustrated. He had only intended to rest here for three days before leaving with William Clark, but hadn't expected him to recover so quickly, which was why he wanted to reincarnate today.

　　Now, he had to leave! This place was already too dangerous! Eric Carter was very familiar with Longmen; the law enforcement teams could catch up at any moment! William Clark's body couldn't take any more; if he took him along, it would surely kill him, and then even that trace of spiritual imprint would be lost. He could only kill him now and reclaim his imprint!

　　"Since the boss doesn't want to say..." Jack Carter shrugged, his wicked smile undiminished, stepping aside to continue watching the show.

　　"You can't kill my brother!"
