MTL - He Became a Salted Fish After Inheriting Millions of Secret Arts-Chapter 72 Those who try to dominate the gods (2)

The bigger it is, the more urgent it is. This is exactly what Carter meant. The thunder and lightning summoned by rainy days are even more powerful!

"Okay, I'll kill you two first, and then give your heads to Superintendent Xiniya as a gift! I really want to see his colorful expression!"

Xenophon and Mr. N stared at each other in disgust, and flicked their fingers at Carter at the same time.

"To shut up!"

***

The rain poured down.

The carriage galloped through the rain. They drove through villages and farmland, and galloped along country roads. When they were less than one kilometer away from the former site of Perilla Manor, Mr. R reined in. The horses neighed and stopped.

"Aren't you here yet?" Miss Acheson poked her head out of the car window.

Uh, someone is blocking the way ahead. "Mr. R said hesitantly."

Duan Feizhuo jumped off the carriage and drew out the sword in the stone.

Ahead is a fork in the road, one side leads to the former site of Perilla Manor - which is now the ether crystal mine, and the other side leads to the lord's private oak forest.

In the middle of the fork in the road stood more than a dozen men in black, both men and women, all in their twenties. Several of them made Duan Feizhuo feel familiar. They seemed to have seen these faces among the police detectives the day they broke into Scotland Yard.

If he was not mistaken, these were the mystic detectives of the Council.

The number of opponents is three times that of theirs, and this battle may be dangerous.

Others also jumped out of the carriage and circled behind him.

"Why do you work for the committee?" QO female ten looked at the group of young people sadly, "Do you know that the committee killed your family members, made you orphans, adopted you, and raised you into A running dog who obeys orders?"

"Shut up, old woman!" The leader man in black spat, "If you dare to disrespect the committee again, I'll sew your mouth shut!"

He's the new Superintendent of Scotland Yard's Unusual Cases Unit. The committee and His Excellency Carter valued him so much that he was entrusted with this important task. However, within a few days of taking office, his prisoners were taken away. His Excellency Carter was furious and almost dismissed him.

This time he will not make the same mistake again. He wanted to kill the so-called "Night Guards". Before departure, the committee explained that the "Night Guards" are good at rhetoric and demagoguery, and no matter what they say, they cannot be believed. It now appears that what the committee said was true.

This group of "night vigilantes" are known as mystic hunters, but where were they when the superintendent's parents were killed by a mystic?

In the end it was the committee that sent him to the workhouse and gave him a scholarship so that he could receive the best education possible. There are many such partners around him. They were "brothers and sisters" in the workhouse, and now they fight side by side. The world no longer needs night guards, the order of the mysterious society can be regulated by them!

"Go!" the Superintendent ordered.

The people in black dispersed, each summoning secret energy to attack the opponent.

"Go! Enter the oak forest!" Duan Feizhuo roared.

Without thinking, the five rushed to the road leading to the oak forest.

"Don't let them escape!" The superintendent's voice pierced through the rain, "Stop all of them here!"

He strode forward to catch up, and at the same time activated the secret technique to condense the surrounding rain curtain, causing the rain to condense into several sharp water blades.

There are only five people on the other side, and their number is three times that of the other party. With such a huge gap, how could they lose?

Do you think you can get away with it by escaping into the woods? How naive. If necessary, the superintendent can burn the entire forest to ashes and see where they will flee at that time.

The lush branches and leaves of the oak trees weave an airtight canopy above the head, coupled with the darkness of the wind and rain, the forest is as dark as dusk.

Suddenly, the superintendent heard a woman singing.

The voice was gentle and melodious, like a mother singing a lullaby to her beloved child.

The subordinates also heard the same singing. They moved closer involuntarily, observing their surroundings with vigilance and fear.

The superintendent also couldn't help slowing down his pace. It's definitely not because he's afraid, but... There are too many obstacles blocking his vision in the forest, he must be cautious!

The woodland ahead suddenly opened up. There was no oak in the center of the clearing, only a stump. Judging from the annual rings, the tree may be more than a hundred years old.

On the stump sat a woman. She was young and beautiful, dressed in splendid attire, but her expression was extremely sad.

Without thinking, the superintendent let the water blade focus on the strange woman first. She must be the reinforcement called by the opponent. Even if it is a young woman, the Superintendent will not be relentless!

The water blade flew out like an arrow leaving the string.

The woman did not hide or dodge, letting the water blade hit her body.

The superintendent showed a determined smile.

The water blade pierced through the woman's body and melted into the darkness.

The woman was unscathed.

The superintendent's smile froze.

Is that human?

"You... who are you?" The superintendent stammered.

"We are the mistresses of this land." The woman said indifferently.

"Nonsense! The mistress of this land is Lady Perilla!"

"That's right." The woman nodded, "We are."

This is impossible. thought the Superintendent. Lady Perilla is obviously an old woman...

A second woman appears. She was wearing a gorgeous dress with a slender waist and a whalebone skirt.

A third woman followed, in a floral Regency dress and a flounced top hat.

One woman after another appeared like phantoms.

The lullaby floating in the rain became the distant harmony of the women.

"What a poor child." The woman who appeared first looked sad.

The ground shook. The superintendent backed away in horror, a pair of white hands stretched out from the position he originally occupied, and grabbed him like a twisted white snake!

He hastily summoned a few more water blades and ordered them to surround him. Some of the subordinates were wrapped around their bodies with white hands, and some summoned the secret barrier, and they fought and retreated.

The Superintendent's back hit the rough tree trunk. Although the bump was painful, the superintendent was overjoyed: at least he won't be attacked from behind!

But he didn't see that the twisted lines on the tree just formed a beautiful but sad woman's face.
