Who hid My Corpse!-Chapter 541 - 20 died to save you_2

But the problem is, the leader’s power lies in the fact that he’s about to become the Master.

Then how is this guy so powerful...?

Where does his power come from?!

And what’s up with his body anyway?

Wood stared intently at the old hunter whom he had beaten until he couldn’t move just ten minutes ago.

It’s hard to say what happened, but at this moment, Ryan felt to Wood like a scarecrow set ablaze, even his soul was burning.

"Church Leader, what’s...?" Wood’s reaction made his followers uneasy.

Realizing this, Wood took a deep breath and regained his composure.

"This guy is strange." He said in a deep voice, "It might be his Hunter’s Blood that’s special. To be safe, let’s all go in together and deal with him and the Saint before he fully loses control in wolf transformation... We don’t have much time."

Hearing Wood’s words, the believers nodded and took their stances again.

"Roar!"

Wood used a wolf’s howl as a signal, letting the believers temporarily leave Vic behind and charge towards Bai Wei from all directions.

But halfway through their charge, they felt something was wrong.

Wood Church Leader... had not followed.

They instinctively turned their heads and saw Wood Church Leader frantically sprinting with his powerful black wolf’s body, limbs extended.

But the direction he was running... was completely opposite to theirs.

All the believers were stunned.

Wood Church Leader was... escaping?! That powerful Wood Church Leader just abandoned them and ran away alone?!

The believers could hardly believe it, but the reality was there for them to see; the large figure running off with its tail between its legs was indeed their Church Leader.

"Tsk, certainly a smart guy."

Then the old hunter’s voice rang in their ears, and they instinctively turned their heads to see him slowly raise the blood-stained scythe.

"Such a pity, my time is limited as well, otherwise I’d really want to chase him."

As he spoke, the scythe, soaked in fresh blood, burst into fierce fire.

"In that case, let’s deal with you bunch who were left behind first."

...

Impossible to win.

Absolutely impossible to win!

If he stayed, it would only mean death.

Wood ran wildly through the city.

Even though he had run quite a distance, the fear hadn’t left him; he even felt that the opponent was still chasing him.

So he could only hope his subordinates would hold that damned guy back.

As for him...

His task for tonight was complete; all the hunters except for that one were killed, and the Corpse Ghosts had entered the city, so everything he needed to do was done.

As for the Saint, that was not his job to handle, it was Lauren’s task.

Lauren failed, what’s that got to do with him?

Besides, he discovered such a terrifying enemy, which is just as important for the leader.

Yes, that’s it!

The leader won’t blame him.

Definitely won’t!

Three minutes later, the last Wildfire sect believer attempting to flee fell to the ground, quickly burning into ashes in the flames engulfing him.

Meanwhile, Bai Wei looked at his (or more accurately, Ryan’s) equally burning wrist, laughed and shook his head: "Didn’t expect a Second Rank Descent to deal with small fry."

With all the Rules sealed away and the body seized from the Holy Sound still injured, it’s hard to intervene in tonight’s battle on his own.

Fortunately, the body’s owner was willing to act as a medium for his Second Rank Descent.

This was probably the shortest time taken from acquaintance to consumption among all Bai Wei’s hosts, barely a minute.

He didn’t even know who Bai Wei really was, but just because Bai Wei promised to save Vic, he willingly became kindling for fire.

The last hunter, Ryan?

This name, I have noted.

Bai Wei thought to himself.

But, the matter isn’t over yet.

Bai Wei turned his gaze towards Vic nearby.

In just the few minutes of battling these Wildfire sect believers, Vic’s wounds had recovered significantly.

The arcs of electricity leapt again amidst his white fur.

Clearly, he was about to awaken.

However...

Bai Wei walked to Vic, still holding Ryan’s scythe.

Vic’s body trembled.

But Bai Wei did nothing, only silently waited.

His need for a Second Rank Descent wasn’t just to deal with these Wildfire sect believers.

More importantly, it was Vic.

Like the Wildfire sect believers unable to regain sanity if wolf transformation is maintained too long, Vic had held this form for so long, and it comes at a cost.

So Bai Wei waited for Vic’s return.

But if the returned isn’t Vic.

Then unfortunately, the journey for both him and Vic on this land would come to an end.

Under his gaze, Vic’s brow furrowed tightly, expression growing increasingly fierce, body trembling more violently, the white fur lengthening like spring shoots after rain, racing uncontrollably in a way that couldn’t be stopped.

Seeing this, Bai Wei could only slowly raise the scythe.

...

"Damn dog!"

He bit into the butcher’s thigh, finally causing the cleaver aimed at the boy to swing astray.

Furious, the butcher grabbed his neck with the backhand and lifted him up.

The cleaver in his hand gleamed fiercely.

"I’ll kill you all!"

The butcher roared swinging the cleaver, and he closed his eyes.

"Swish."

Blood spurted forth.

He thought he was going to die.

But... he didn’t.

He opened his eyes.

The boy once again stood before him.

The blood belonged to the boy.

He stared blankly at the boy; the boy barely managed a smile.

"I won’t let you die..."

"Ade."

...

"Ade!"

Vic suddenly awoke.

Then he found himself lying in bed, staring at the plain wooden ceiling, with sunlight from outside illuminating the web between the beams.

Vic was somewhat dazed.

He didn’t know what happened, just felt uncomfortable all over, his body sticky, unsure whether from sweat or blood.

...What’s going on?

He was a bit confused.

"Oh, finally woke up." A familiar voice sounded by his ear.

Vic turned his head, seeing Bai Wei leisurely sitting by the window, holding half an apple.

"... Priest Ulu." Vic struggled to sit up, "What are you doing here?"

"What do you mean what am I doing here?" Bai Wei chuckled, "This is my room, you forgot?"

"...Ah?"

Before Vic could react, Bai Wei tossed him the half-eaten apple, and he instinctively took a bite.

It wasn’t until the sour juice spread in his mouth that he realized what he was doing and almost threw the apple away.

But at that moment, memories from yesterday suddenly surged.

Wildfire sect believers, the young boss lady, old hunter Ryan...

"Priest Ulu!" He quickly looked at Bai Wei, "Last night..."

"Wasn’t a dream." Bai Wei said calmly, "All of it was real."

"I know it’s real, but..." Vic felt his memory fragmenting again, seemed critical moments were eluding him, "I was fighting those Wildfire sect believers, and then... oh, what about Miss Rella?"

"You mean the young boss?" Bai Wei said, "She’s fine, returned safe and sound."

Vic breathed a sigh of relief.

In his memory, Rella was taken by Ryan.

Since she’s fine, then Mr. Ryan...

"But the old hunter is dead."

Vic’s expression froze, he stared blankly at Bai Wei; Bai Wei spoke gently.

"Died saving you."
