* Bang! *
The white crystal shield in front of Anna finally exploded.
But at this moment, she no longer needed this shield.
A dazzling light erupted from behind her, illuminating the entire street as if it were daytime.
Her vision was completely white, and Anna could not see anything clearly, but she could sense the Winged Knight's position.
With the pressure greatly reduced, Anna's nimble body leapt up, and with a few leaps, she closed in on Colin's position.
She suddenly swung her greatsword, and in that instant, a resplendent white light poured out like a waterfall, heading straight for Colin's head.
* Clang! *
Anna only felt as if the broadsword in her hand had collided with a huge mountain, and the huge recoil almost made her lose her grip on the sword hilt.
At this moment, the effect of the Earl Of Avon's spell was gradually fading.
The light faded, and darkness swept in once again, enveloping the entire street.
Colin blocked Anna's broadsword with one hand, his skin flashing with a blood-red light, and the dense and complicated patterns intertwined to form an armor-like object, preventing the sharp blade from penetrating even an inch.
"You overestimate yourself!"
Colin snorted coldly, his right hand suddenly clenching tightly.
With a crisp crack, the cracks that had already appeared on Anna's broadsword instantly spread, and then completely shattered.
Anna's face was filled with shock, and she twisted her slender waist, wanting to pull away.
However, Colin's other hand quickly reached out, and immediately grabbed Anna's waist, holding her tightly in his hand.
"Back in Silvermoon City, I warned you that if you fall into my hands again, don't expect me to be merciful!"
After saying that, Colin's large hand began to tighten.
"Ah —"
Anna let out a blood-curdling scream, and the holy light on her body suddenly burst forth, but she was still unable to break free from Colin's grasp.
Her heart was filled with shock and confusion.
She could feel that the Winged Knight in front of her was at the sixth step, and it was expected that she would not be able to win.
However, she had fought with her father who was also a knight of the sixth step. Even if she couldn't defeat him, she shouldn't have lost so miserably.
Anna discovered that the Winged Knight's Holy Light seemed to be the same as hers, but there was actually a difference. It seemed to have a natural suppressive effect on her Holy Light energy.
Under such a suppressive effect, she felt that she was unable to display her true strength.
Moreover, this Winged Knight's strength had clearly exceeded that of an ordinary rank-6 powerhouse. He vaguely felt like he was in the Sanctuary-realm.
Could it be that he was about to ascend to the Saint-realm?
Anna tried her best to support her body and raised her head to stare at Colin.
However, she couldn't see Colin's face clearly due to the blood mist.
"Please wait a moment!" Count Elven hurriedly shouted when he saw this.
Colin smiled and turned to the Earl Of Avon. "What's wrong? You want to redeem your sister again? "
"Why can't I?" The Earl Of Avon bowed gracefully. "Killing a Saint Prospero will not only bring you no benefits, it will also bring you endless trouble.
Since that's the case, why don't you listen to my sincerity? "
"Oh? Tell me about your sincerity. "
Hearing that there was still room for negotiation, the Earl Of Avon immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"Last time, I used a magic staff to redeem my sister. This time, I'm willing to take out three similar magic staffs. How about it? Of course, if you don't want the magic staff, you can also give me other things. "
Colin snorted. He didn't seem to be interested in Count Evan's proposal. Instead, he asked,
"Answer a few of my questions. If the answers satisfy me, I'll let your sister go."
"Please ask." The Earl Of Avon immediately agreed.
Colin leaned forward slightly and asked, "Who killed Count Angelo?"
"I'm actually not sure about this, but I feel that Mother is the most suspicious …"
Hearing this, Colin snorted angrily and tightened his grip.
Crack! Crack!
"Ah —"
A series of bone-cracking sounds could be heard as Anna let out a blood-curdling scream.
Dark red blood flowed out of her mouth like spring water. It seemed like Colin had crushed many of her ribs.
"Don't, don't, don't!" The Earl Of Avon waved his hands repeatedly.
Colin's decisive action without any pity for the fairer sex made the Earl Of Avon understand that the other party probably knew something.
Perhaps this Winged Knight had hidden by the side and witnessed everything when Mr. Chong was assassinated.
Thus, he took a deep breath, as if he had made an important decision, and said in a deep voice,
"Alright, actually, the person who killed Count Angelo was Mr. Chong."
Colin raised his eyebrows, finally confirming his previous conjecture. Mr. Chong and the Earl Of Avon had already formed an alliance, and they were the most hidden force in White Dew City!
"How did you know?" Colin asked again.
"Because Mr. Chong and I planned this."
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Chong is a remnant of the Saint Theon family, right? Shouldn't he be the mortal enemy of the House of Saint Prospero? How did you get together with him? "
The Earl Of Avon seemed to feel that there was no need to hide, so he spoke frankly.
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits. Mr. Chong and I both understand this point, and we believe that an alliance can achieve a win-win situation, so we cooperated.
Winged Knight, actually, I also admire you very much.
As long as you are willing to let my sister go, I can forget all the unpleasantness of the past.
You really don't have to doubt my sincerity. Think about it, I can even accept the mortal enemy of the House of Saint Prospero, so what is a small misunderstanding between you and me? "
Colin did not respond to the Earl Of Avon, but continued to ask:
"What is Mr. Chong's plan in White Dew City?"
The Earl Of Avon's eyes flashed, and immediately said: "Of course, it is to help me become the Duke of the Eastern Region."
"Is that so?"
"That's right." The Earl Of Avon nodded affirmatively, "The reason why we assassinated Count Angelo was to anger the Blood Cavalry, so that they would rush into the city and wipe out the existing old forces, so that it would be convenient for me to truly control the Eastern Region."
"You are very honest." Colin nodded.
"As long as you are satisfied." The Earl Of Avon smiled, "So, can you let my sister go?"
Colin slowly shook his head, and coldly said: "But obviously, you are still hiding something!"
After this sentence, without waiting for the Earl Of Avon's explanation, Colin once again tightened his grip on Anna's big hand.
However, this time, he did not pinch it.
Looking carefully, he saw that the dense platinum lines had already covered Anna's face and body, and the extremely rich holy light was crazily surging, as if the next moment, it would spurt out.
Damn!
This woman is actually advancing!
She can't defeat him, so she advances. Are you a f * cking protagonist of a novel?
Colin cursed inwardly and immediately grabbed the other hand as well.
Using both hands together, he suppressed the turbulent holy light, and at the same time, he quickly closed his eyes.
Then, he opened them again.
Something seemed to be spinning rapidly in the scarlet pupils.
In the next second, a boundless blood curtain spread out in all directions.
Vaguely, he seemed to hear a grand and distant voice:
"Secret Skill of Blood: Dark Gaze!"
