Blood Evolution System - Chapter 259

The carriage moved towards the north steadily. After four hours of travel, Emily, Sarah, and the two knights from the Godwin family stepped on a dust-colored road with trees on both sides.

“They are finally here.” A burly man with rough looks and a scar stretching from his eye and creping down to his chin said when he noticed the carriage of the crimson family entering the road to hell. He was Uriah, the commander of the fourth squad of the wanderer’s vanguard legion. He was sitting on a black panther, a very ferocious-looking eyes. Its gray eyes were strong enough to intimidate anyone, and its long claw sharp enough to break steel and swords alike.

“It’s as the head of intelligence mentioned.” Camille Patterson muttered, seemingly appearing shocked for some reason.

A few days ago, the head of the intelligence department of the wanderer organization had visited their vanguard department and ordered their leader to dispatch some experts to this place to abduct the wife of the crimson guardian. And today, she really had appeared here.

The fact that the head of intelligence could accurately determine what was going to happen before it even happened shocked Camille to her core.

“Get ready to kidnap the bride,” Uriah said to the four people around him, and that included Camille.

“Boss, just say the words.”

Their plan was too simple.

Uriah and his three henchmen will distract the enemy’s combatant while the rest will kidnap Emily and make a run for it.

“Greater Fireball!”

An instant after Uriah said those words, steams of white fiery hot energy manifested around him, swirled towards a single spot in front of him, and condensed into the shape of a boulder-sized orb.

Whoosh!

After he discharged some mana to push it at extreme speed, it shot towards the crimson family’s carriage like a shooting star cascading down the sky.

“Incoming.” Said one of the two Knights from the Godwin Family in a voice full of worry.

Sarah Crimson and the other knight raised their head and saw a massive ball of fire heading towards them.

Emily heard the knight’s voice that was full of worry and felt that something was wrong.

“What is wrong?” She asked Sarah Crimson.

“So far, nothing is wrong, so master’s wife, please don’t worry and stay seated,” Sarah said as she stopped the carriage, stood up from her seat, and jumped on to the head of one of the horses.

She calmly unsheathed the sword strapped to her side and raised it above her head for a moment before bringing it down. A blinding ray of sword light surged out of her sword and charged at the blinding fireball.

It crashed head-on with the boulder-sized boulder in mid-air and chopped it in two half.

Kaboom!

An ear-wrenching explosion occurred as the two halves of the greater fireball exploded into a brilliant display of fire that lit up the entire sky.

The sound of the explosion also reached Emily’s ears, and the palpitations of her heart increased so much that she could hear her heartbeat

Clap, Clap!

The sound of clap sounded from high above, and as Sarah crimson and the two knights raised their heads to look at the source of the voice, they saw four people, three men and one female, standing on top of a ten-meter tall winged-panther.

“Splitting apart a fireball capable of destroying an entire skyscraper, I expected nothing less from you, Sarah Crimson.” Uriah praised Sarah with a smile.

“You’re too daring,” Sarah said while looking at Uriah with the intent to kill.

“I haven’t even started,” Uriah whistled, and the black panther plunged down the sky.

“Take her lady and head deeper into the forest,” Sarah said to the knights, one of who had already taken Emily out of the carriage and placed her on his horse.

“What about you?” Emily asked with a worried look vivid on her face as she looked at Sarah.

“I will hold them back until reinforcement arrives. Please go.”

The knights ran away, leaving Sarah to fend off the four wandered all by herself.

The two parties clashed with each other in mid-air and exchanged dozens of moves that not only blasted a hole in the cloudy sky but also crushed many boulders and uprooted many trees.

“Camille, go and get the bride.”

“You sure you can entrap her?”

“Us three aren’t as weak as you think.”

“Where is your attention?”

While they were talking, Sarah Crimson struck her sword out with such strength that a massive gale of emerald wind surged out, chopped off everything in its way, and also ripped off the arm of one of them.

“You wasted that attack.”

The one who lost his arm taunted Sarah Crimson and used his supernatural power to regrow another one.

“Go,” Uriah said to Camille before he rushed towards Sarah with the other three people.

Camille turned around and started chasing after the two knights.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, one of the two knights, Archie, stopped his horse and commanded the other knight to come to a halt too.

“What is wrong? Is there a trap in front of us?” May asked as Archie came close to him.

“No, that’s not why I stopped you.”

“Then why?!” May had just finished his words when Archie brandished his sword and stabbed his chest, shattering his heart into two.

“Why?” May died with wide eyes that were full of disbelief.

“Heh, because I too am a wanderer,” Archie said as he tightened his hold around Emily.

Archie’s betrayal came as a surprise to her, and she tried to run away, but he was holding her so tight that no matter how much strength she exerted, she failed to escape his grasp.

“Let me go, let me go, you murderer! Somebody help!”

Emily shouted for help as she tried to struggle her way out of his grasp.

Pa!

Archie slapped her so hard that he left behind five red fingerprints on her cheeks.
