In the forest, two shadows were running at high speed. One of the running ghouls had just turned its head when it was hit by one of the shadows. It fell to the ground, its waist twisted into a ball.
Quillin and Alice continued running without looking back.
At this moment, a shrill sound of air vibrating came from far behind them.
"So fast!"
Just as Alice let out a sigh, a loud boom rang out a hundred meters behind them. Before they could react, another thud sounded, and the distance between them was less than twenty meters.
"How is this possible!"
"How can it be so fast!"
There was no time to think. Both of them were experienced warriors. Knowing that they could not escape, they turned around to fight. However, when they turned around, they found that there was no one behind them. There was no one at all.
While the two of them were still in shock, a black shadow had already leaped over their bodies from the ground and arrived behind them.
"On the ground!" Quillin was the first to discover it. With a roar, he threw a punch at the shadow on the ground. On the other side, Alice also let out a scream. Many blood vessels protruded from her skin as a defense.
However, Zuo Zhicheng had been attacked by Mary with this move when he was on the ship. How could he not be prepared for it now? He raised his hand and blocked Quillin's punch, while his other hand grabbed the blood thorn on Alice's body as if it was something out of his pocket.
This action was as dangerous as a person directly reaching out and grabbing the blade of a knife. However, Zuo Zhicheng used his strength skillfully. Not only did he grab hold of Alice's blood vessel, he even swung his arm and threw her towards a big tree.
With a loud bang, Alice was caught off guard. Her entire body was flung into a tree. The thick and solid tree trunk let out a cracking sound as it began to break and fall down.
This collision caused Alice to spit out a mouthful of blood. Who knew how many of her vertebrae were broken. She fell to the ground and could not get up.
Zuo Zhicheng moved his legs again. He wanted to continue killing Alice.
However, Kuilin, who was behind him, let out a wild roar and sent a karate chop towards the back of Zuo Zhicheng's head. Zuo Zhicheng had no choice but to tilt his head slightly to dodge the attack. At the same time, his hand shot out like a wild python and caught Kuilin's arm just as he was about to use all his strength.
Then, he raised his leg and kicked Kuilin in the stomach.
How could Kuilin allow his opponent to kick him in the stomach? His opponent's strength was something he had never seen before. If he was seriously injured, there would be no chance for him to recover.
Kuilin raised his leg and used his knee to block Zuo Zhicheng's right leg. However, even though he managed to block the attack, the huge difference in strength caused his knee to crack.
It had only been a few seconds since the start of the battle, but one of his legs had already been crippled.
However, while Zuo Zhicheng was unable to move after the kick, Kuilin's other hand instantly elongated and made a metallic sound. Then, like a tiger's claw, he grabbed Zuo Zhicheng's neck.
Ghouls could control their own organs to a certain extent. With the strength of his claws, Kuilin was confident that even if his opponent tried to block his attack, as long as his claws landed on flesh, he would definitely be able to cut a few ounces of flesh off his opponent.
Kuilin knew that this kind of blood loss was nothing to ghouls, but to humans, it would be fatal.
However, Zuo Zhicheng's reaction was much faster than his. It was as if he already knew what Kuilin was going to do. Half a second faster than Kuilin's claws, he had already pointed his finger at Kuilin's palm.
The unstoppable force directly penetrated Kuilin's palm, causing cracks to appear on his arm and elbow.
This small injury was nothing to Kuilin. What was worse was that Zuo Zhicheng's other leg did not even touch the ground. Instead, he was sent flying backwards like a paper doll.
Behind him was the spot where Alice had fallen.
'Has his target been Alice from the very beginning?'
Kuilin felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his body. The feeling of being seen through by Zuo Zhicheng in the study room had once again descended upon him.
Kuilin wanted to chase after Zuo Zhicheng, but with his knee broken, his speed was not even a third of his usual. He could only watch as Zuo Zhicheng pulled out his dagger and chopped off Alice's head.
"No!" Kuilin roared like a wild beast. His eyes were red as he stared at Alice, who was being held in Zuo Zhicheng's hand. "You bastard, let her go!"
Zuo Zhicheng said expressionlessly, "It has nothing to do with me if you want to kill me. I'm not interested in killing you either. I just have a few questions that I need you to answer."
The veins on Kuilin's head bulged. "Don't even think about it!"
"Let me help you clear your head. Don't waste any more time." Zuo Zhicheng used his dagger to gouge out Alice's eyeballs.
Alice screamed in pain. Kuilin was so angry that the veins on his face throbbed, as if they would explode at any moment.
He looked at Zuo Zhicheng with red eyes and gritted his teeth. "Alright, what do you want to ask?"
"What's Yizi's motive? How much do you know about the underground ruins here? "
Kuilin was shocked. He didn't expect them to already know about the existence of the underground ruins. He hesitated for a long time until Zuo Zhicheng slowly stabbed the dagger into Alice's chin. Kuilin then shouted, "I'll talk! I'll talk! "
"Yizi's motive is to find the origin blood. That's …" Kuilin's voice became softer and softer. In the end, he suddenly kicked a rock and turned to run.
With a whoosh, the rock flew over like a meteor. However, Zuo Zhicheng gently raised his hand and caught it.
Zuo Zhicheng grabbed the stone that was kicked by the other party and crushed it with a crack. Just a little bit more and Alice's head would have been hit by the stone.
"He's a good actor?" Zuo Zhicheng looked at Kuilin's back and said with surprise, "He's probably buying time for his injuries to heal."
In the next second, Zuo Zhicheng frowned. He threw Alice's head away and quickly retreated. Alice's head instantly turned into a pool of blood. Countless flesh-colored tentacles pierced out of it. Alice had directly committed suicide and released the Blood Curse.
Although Zuo Zhicheng didn't fall into the trap, he still felt that it was troublesome. "If she's willing to commit suicide, it'll be troublesome to force a confession out of her."
Just as Zuo Zhicheng was thinking about this, the entire ground suddenly shook violently. There were even obvious cracks on the ground. A long and narrow crack that was so deep that one couldn't see the bottom spread out from under Zuo Zhicheng's feet.
Zuo Zhicheng dodged backwards. It was not until more than ten seconds later that the violent tremors stopped.
"An earthquake?" Although it looked like an earthquake, Zuo Zhicheng had a feeling that the scene in front of him wasn't as simple as an earthquake.
After thinking about it, Zuo Zhicheng ran in the direction where Kuilin had escaped. He planned to capture Kuilin first and then go to the study to collect all the information about Yizi.
