The left knight’s body slid out a golden afterimage, suddenly appearing right in front of Angela Carter, then the long spear moved, stabbing directly into Angela Carter’s body!!

Suddenly! The left knight’s action was so abrupt that none of those present, including Ethan Clark, had expected it!

“Hissssssss!!” The power of the knight’s spear was astonishing. After easily piercing through Angela Carter’s abdomen, it immediately thrust into Ethan Clark’s body as well. Ethan Clark’s abdomen burst open with a huge bloody hole, his blood and Angela Carter’s blood splattering all over the left knight!

Ethan Clark was truly enraged now—this guy really was trying to kill him.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of the left knight’s mouth. This strike had pierced through two bodies at once; Angela Carter was doomed, and Ethan Clark had no hope of survival either.

“Knight, watch out!!” Just as the left knight was confident he had killed Ethan Clark for good, a long claw suddenly appeared before him!

Although the left knight reacted quickly and retreated a few steps, his prominent nose was still sliced off by the sharp claw blade, and bright red blood sprayed out again.

“The vital point of this creature is the head!” Old Reverend’s voice reached the left knight’s ears.

The left knight clutched his severed nose in pain, cursing angrily, “Old fool, why didn’t you say so earlier! Hurry… hurry and purify him!”

Ethan Clark’s abdomen was completely torn open, even his intestines exposed, but he felt no pain at all. After forcing the hateful left knight back, he turned and ran.

But Old Reverend’s binding spell had already been cast. Beams of light formed on all sides of Ethan Clark, trapping him inside like a cage.

“Cluck cluck…” Just as Ethan Clark was trapped, that enchanting woman’s laughter sounded in his ears again. The voice carried a noble elegance, mixed with a hint of playful teasing.

“Ugh—” Ethan Clark wasn’t sure if he was imagining things, but he had no time to think. His claw reached into the already dead Angela Carter’s body, tore open his blood vessels, and with a squeeze, sprayed blood onto Old Reverend.

Ethan Clark was well-read; though he had never studied divine arts, he knew that blood was taboo for them. If someone else’s blood got on them, their spells could be interrupted.

Sure enough, as the blood splattered onto Old Reverend, the beams of light immediately vanished. Taking advantage of the moment when the sun hid behind the clouds, Ethan Clark darted out of the ruined house and rushed into the dense forest!

Ethan Clark knew they would definitely give chase, so he ran for his life, ignoring even the faint screams of those people behind him.

Although it was overcast, the power of sunlight could still penetrate the clouds and shine on Ethan Clark, and his body was already starting to rot as he ran.

He barely managed to release the little death energy he had left, letting it swirl around him to protect his body from the burning sunlight.

“Strange, why aren’t they chasing me? Am I running too fast?” Although Ethan Clark was running desperately, his body was very stiff. Except when hunting, he was usually slow and clumsy.

So this so-called sprint was really just a limping jog by human standards. At this speed, the left knight could catch up to Ethan Clark in less than a minute. Was that guy really planning to let him go?

“A bloody wind… why is there a scent of blood?” Ethan Clark stopped running, because the forest ahead was thinning out, letting in strong sunlight. Going any further would be suicide.

Ethan Clark was now extremely sensitive to the smell of blood and flesh. He could tell the scent was coming from the ruined house, and it wasn’t from the dead Angela Carter or the injured left knight.

At that moment, he suddenly recalled the strange woman’s laughter, the screams behind him as he fled, and that same laughter.

“Dead?” The next moment, Ethan Clark sensed the house was filled with death energy. Ethan Clark had studied witchcraft for ten years; death energy, besides being refined from yin energy, also emanates from freshly dead creatures. The sudden increase of death energy in that dilapidated house was a sign that those people had all died.

Ethan Clark had no choice but to go back. Even if he hid in the woods during the day, sunlight would still filter through, and if he stayed all day, he would be burned to death. Only by hiding in the basement of that ruined house did he have a chance to survive.

Sensing there was no more life there, Ethan Clark, heavy-hearted and wary, carefully returned to the back of the ruined house.

Ethan Clark was extremely cautious. He carefully peeked through the broken window!

With that glance, Ethan Clark was stunned, because to his shock, there was now a graceful woman in a black gauze dress inside the abandoned house!!
