Sister Meng made a solemn promise and received a reassuring smile from the bishop.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She was about to say something when she felt a sharp pain in her head.

The next instant, her eyes bulged out, and blood flowed from them.

Blood filled her throat, her body convulsed a few times, and then Sister Meng's entire head was crushed.

The two eyeballs rolled out.

Surrounded by red and white objects, the sight is shocking.

The man let go, looked at the bloodstains on his palm, and frowned in disgust.

One of his subordinates came over and presented him with a handkerchief.

"Well done, you're the one."

The man seemed to have received some great blessing, and knelt on the ground in joy and gratitude.

The whole process was like a drama.

"ah!"

The scream pierced my eardrums.

Among the survivors, witnessing the man's monstrous methods, they once again scrambled to escape.

The man ignored those people.

He looked at Qin Tan.

"I'm disappointed that someone as talented as you isn't on our side."

"Otherwise, with your body, you would surely receive the most powerful blessing from the true god."

Regret was palpable. Just as Qin Tan was about to make a move, he heard the other party raise his hand and press down.

Qin Tan soon felt her once energetic body become limp and weak, and she couldn't even lift her arms.

The scythe slipped from his hand and slammed to the ground with a sharp crack.

At the same time, screams of agony came from outside.

Those who had just fled were rolling on the ground, black blood seeping from their mouths and noses.

It's poisoning!

From the very beginning, the other side never intended to let those people live, and they had already laid a trap.

"Jingjing?"

Lin Zhisui's voice was hoarse; he had also been affected.

He was being supported by Uncle Shui, and his vision was blurred.

"I... I need a little more time."

Ye Jingjing also had a problem, but because of her extraordinary abilities, her symptoms were the mildest.

She is using her abilities to heal herself.

Only after the treatment is complete can her abilities decipher the toxin, thus enabling her to help the others.

This process takes time.

Minsheng, who had been hiding in the corner, was now slumped on the ground, his face pale and his lips black.

His internal organs were tormented by toxins, causing him unbearable pain, yet he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

She only managed a forced smile when Qin Tan noticed.

"I'm...I'm fine!"

She spoke with difficulty, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

"Hmm!"

Qin Tan grunted, frowned, and with a flick of her finger, the Grim Reaper's Scythe reappeared in her palm.

The next second, she launched an attack.

The black scythe remained as sharp as ever, slicing through the air and hurtling straight toward the opponent's face.

Qin Tan's counterattack came unexpectedly.

The man's eyes held surprise and admiration.

"Your health is indeed excellent."

"Very good, but still too young."

"You are no match for me."

With just a few casual words, it was clear that he didn't take Qin Tan seriously.

He snapped his fingers.

Qin Tan's limbs went numb instantly. She fell from the sky, half-kneeling on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

Qin Tan's body contains more than one type of toxin.

"My opponent has arrived."

The man spoke slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of ice crystals floated in the air.

Someone arrived at the doorway, wearing boots.

"Long time no see, Wuxiang."

Xia Shuang appeared, followed by Manny.

Manny, wearing a special mask to protect herself from the poison, quickly walked to Qin Tan's side and helped her to the side.

In the middle of the battlefield, only Xia Shuang and Wu Xiang remained.

"It's been a long time."

"You've offered so many baits to lure me out. If I don't fall for them, wouldn't I be disrespecting you?"

Wu Xiang curled his lips into a smile, but upon seeing Xia Shuang appear, a crazed expression appeared on his face.

"You must have known I was leaving, that's why you're saying goodbye to me this way, right?"

"This poison is one I developed specifically for you."

"I think you'll really like my return gift."

Some people outside are already on the verge of death.

However, Xia Shuang was accompanied by reinforcements.

Rescue vehicles took those people away, and specialized equipment helped slow the decline of their lives.

Most importantly, Ye Jingjing also evacuated.

"I'll stay here."

Qin Tan leaned against the wall and spoke in a slow voice.

"...Okay, put this on first."

Manny put a mask over her head.

The stinging sensation when breathing has been greatly relieved.

Through the eyes of the mask, Qin Tan saw Xia Shuang make her move.

Xia Shuang prefers direct action to empty talk.

The ice layer expanded extremely quickly, sealing off the area in an instant.

Those who followed Wuxiang were turned into ice sculptures.

The faces of those people still bore traces of terror.

Especially the man who had just been chosen by Wuxiang, who was desperately trying to roll his eyes inside the ice crystals.

That was a cry for help.

"hehe!"

Wu Xiang walked over and, right in front of the man, threw a punch.

The fist struck the ice surface, shattering the ice sculpture along with the person inside.

Bright red ice crystals scattered on the ground, indifferently crushed underfoot.

"Useless thing."

That dismissive attitude showed that they didn't care about the other person's life at all.

Their ruthlessness in disregarding human life has shocked many people.

Xia Shuang was not surprised.

Without a word, she manipulated her abilities to create countless ice needles in the air, striking the formless covering.

Qin Tan noticed that Xia Shuang was always surrounded by a layer of ice mist.
