Nightmare Light

Chapter 20 Unexpected and Unexpected

Lin Wang stood in the darkness.

The basement was silent. The dim light, which was only used to indicate the way, shone on him, outlining a vague but clearly recognizable glowing outline.

"Your patience isn't as good as I thought it would be."

When Lin Wang spoke, he faced forward, in the direction of the road, but at the same time, he twisted his head slightly, as if he was speaking to the back of him.

He appeared calm on the surface, but actually he lowered his body slightly, tensed his muscles and gripped the steel pipe tightly.

Regardless of whether the person behind him would attack him or not, he was now in the position of hunter, and the prey was himself...

However, Lin Wang could tell from the tone of his voice that the guy behind him had no intention of launching an attack immediately.

But if he turns around...

Lin Wang remained alert and thought.

Fortunately, the person behind him did not act rashly as he had guessed.

Instead, he paced like a hyena sizing its prey, talking as he circled around Lin Wang. It took him about a minute to get in front of him.

A thin, plain-looking man appeared before Lin Wang in a hoarse voice, a meaningful smile on his face: "The victor has no need to be patient with the dead."

Tian Taozi's former colleague, the former sheriff named Guo, walked up to a short distance in front of Lin Wang and glanced down at his companion's body. His expression remained unchanged. "I didn't expect you to be such a good fighter."

"Then you'll have another surprise soon." Lin Wang shook the steel pipe in his hand. "When did you betray me?"

"You don't look surprised..." The former sheriff squatted down, smeared a little blood on the corpse next to him with his finger, and licked it. "When did you guess it?"

"Very early, probably on the way here by car?"

"You northerners are really good at bragging." The former sheriff surnamed Guo sneered and didn't believe Lin Wang's words at all.

He stretched out his hand and touched the unconscious Blood Cultist's neck. Suddenly, he pressed hard with his hand, and with a click, he broke his companion's neck.

"When you were looking at Taozi and me through the rearview mirror in the car, you didn't hide your expression at all."

Lin Wang said, taking another step forward: "It's not difficult to guess that you are a traitor, but I didn't guess that you would personally stop me here."

At this distance, he could have struck his opponent with just one pounce, but the former sheriff showed no signs of panic. Instead, he shook his finger and said, "Traitor sounds terrible. I joined the Divine Blood Cult first, and then went undercover as a sheriff... You should address me as His Excellency the Patriarch."

"The only real name you can be called is 'criminal'!"

Lin Wang lunged forward, swinging the steel pipe in his hand heavily. The pipe whistled through the air, shredding the air and slamming into the traitor with a flash of icy light.

With his current strength, this pipe was enough to crack a thick wall, but when the steel pipe was less than an inch away from the other side, it suddenly encountered a strange resistance and stopped.

A scarlet net appeared in front of Lin Wang.

The steel pipe hit the net, as if it hit a thick rubber pad. The huge resistance blocked his attack. Behind the blood net, the former sheriff's face was revealed with a half-smile.

"Very surprised?"

The former sheriff grinned, with bloodshot gums visible. He looked confident yet a little crazy.

"The sheriffs are truly stupid. They didn't even notice a member of the Divine Blood Cult living right under their noses for so many years..."

The former sheriff slowly stood up, raised his chin and smiled proudly, looking at Lin Wang.

He raised his hands and made strange gestures, which looked like he was kneading a ball of invisible clay.

In just over ten seconds, the blood net in front of Lin Wang quickly grew larger.

The blood cultists drew a huge amount of blood from the two corpses, and the blood gradually spread above Lin Wang until it was enough to wrap him up.

The former sheriff continued, "You're stupid enough, Northerner... Since I dared to lurk in the Sheriff's Bureau, it's naturally because I..." "I'm not interested in your bragging." Lin Wang interrupted him, "The only thing I want to know is, are you ready to be beaten?"

The former sheriff was stunned when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.

He laughed hoarsely, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and his laughter was sharp and piercing.

"Idiot! You want to beat me? You have to break through the blood magic first!"

"But you are just a mortal, worse than a bug!"

He laughed maniacally for more than ten seconds, then suddenly changed his expression: "I won't be as talkative as those idiots in the story, so you'd better die."

As he spoke, he clenched his hands tightly, and the blood net began to shrink, constantly approaching Lin Wang. In just a few seconds, it almost wrapped Lin Wang up.

In just a dozen seconds at most, this northerner's blood would be drained...

Thinking that the northerner in front of him would soon become a mummy, and his skeleton would be made into a beautiful specimen by himself, the former sheriff grinned, revealing a cruel and joyful smile.

Then he heard a voice coming from the blood network.

"You've said enough."

The former sheriff's pupils suddenly shrank, and the next moment, he saw a gap suddenly appear in the middle of his blood net. A fist burning with pale flames rushed out of the blood net and hit him hard in the face.

boom!
The former sheriff flew backwards and rolled several times on the ground before he came to a stop.

He looked up in shock and looked at the tall young man, who tore his blood net like a rag and strode out of it.

"You are also a layman?!"

"That fire... what kind of vulgar magic is that! I've never seen anything like it before... What new things have the people of the North come up with?"

He growled viciously and stood up.

Even with his strength as a high-ranking priest of the Divine Blood Sect, he still felt severe pain when Lin Wang punched him in the face. Even without seeing it, the former sheriff knew that half of his face would be unsightly.

But he still had enough confidence to kill this northerner.

"I am blessed by the Lord! I am a high-ranking priest of the Divine Blood Cult! You are just a big bug! Even if you have that strange fire, you can't be my opponent!"

He had a crazy and ferocious look on his face, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. Then he clasped his hands together with force, making a crisp sound.

The huge blood net in the air quickly condensed into a blood ball.

The former sheriff sneered and waved his hand in the direction of Lin Wang!

The blood ball flew towards Lin Wang with a roar.

In the former sheriff's mind, such a huge blood clot, even by weight, was enough to severely injure the northerner.

But the next second, he saw Lin Wang casually raise his hand, and a ball of white fire suddenly exploded in the northerner's hand and hit the blood clot.

The blood clot was like a cup of water, poured onto the extremely cold ground, making a strange freezing sound, and falling to the ground with white steam. Then with a ping-pong sound, it broke into bloody red fragments all over the ground.

"What kind of weird magic is this!" Sheriff Qian screamed and turned and ran away.

Lin Wang started chasing after him.

But he had just run a few steps when he heard hurried footsteps and a very impressive voice behind him.

"Lin Wang! I'm here to help you!"

　I suddenly want to eat cake...

　　I’ve decided to pretend to be a Capricorn tomorrow!
