Chapter 148: Chapter 148: He was a warrior, and you, you are a coward
Watching him start drinking again, it seemed like he really let the Drunken Fool go. Felix wanted to roar to the heavens; he had been thoroughly seen through by this demon-possessed psychic!
He was really feigning madness, even thinking of using his Developing Skill to scare the Drunken Fool, but now...
Looking at the opened magic circle, it seemed like he saw a gateway!
For some reason.
It looked to him like the chilling Bridge of Helplessness, the gateway to the underworld.
"Let's go, you still want to drink my booze?" your-MVLeMpYr-source
Ferrywoman... no, it was Lord Ferrywoman waving at him!
For the first time, he resisted the urge to flee.
Then he boarded the flying shuttle, that basic psychic device, not bothering about the crazy old lady behind him, and piloted the psychic shuttle towards Sky Sect!
"Ancestor, only the Ancestor can protect me, Blackwood wouldn't dare go to Sky Sect!"
...
Elder Felix had just escaped with Elizabeth when the silver coffin arrived right behind them. The people of Blackwood calmly watched the direction of Elder Felix's escape, but they couldn't hide the hatred and fury in their eyes.
"Holy Maiden, head of the Blackwood family."
Drunken Fool bowed to the people of Blackwood, something he definitely wouldn't have done before; he wouldn't even bow to a Holy Maiden. But facing a man who could swing a coffin at a pregnant woman's belly, and the family led by such a man, was enough to make him show respect.
Especially...
Beside the coffin, William, who seemed to enjoy killing people for fun, was holding a pole covered with human skins, which, with his experience in skinning, were clearly taken from living people, three Developing Skills, a group at the False Core stage.
Looking above the coffin, strands of silk were wrapped around the skinned Psychics, who were still alive, wailing in agony.
"They're still alive?" Amelia casually asked.
"Let go, they're escaping towards Sky Sect, their psychic powers beaten down to barely a tenth, their realm dropped to the early stages of Developing Skill."
Drunken Fool couldn't help but glance at Blackwood's handiwork, he seemed to have learned to restrain the urge to imitate, he frowned and said: "You really want to go to Sky Sect? Now all the sects and clans won't let you off, especially those Competent forces."
"You Blackwoods have gained such strength in just a century, once you rise again, the major forces of Azure Cloud will be even more eager to destroy you, Blackwood. It's no longer just about your feud with that couple."
"The resources here are limited, the rise of a powerful family is like taking away their livelihood."
"If I were you."
Drunken Fool said with a bitter smile: "Having taken your revenge, you might as well leave Cloudview County. I guarantee, the sects and clans have already started to surround your location, heading to Sky Sect is like tying your own noose."
Nathan shook his head, bowed to Drunken Fool, "Thank you for the warning, senior. This time your help was invaluable, Blackwood will remember this. From here on, we Blackwood dare not trouble you further."
"You're... still going?!!"
Drunken Fool stared wide-eyed.
Although Blackwood hadn't said much, only asking him to stop Felix and Elizabeth and to let people go, he could see that the Blackwoods were intentionally heading towards Sky Sect.
He still didn't know where Blackwood got the courage to actively head towards Sky Sect.
In the midst of conversation.
The people of Blackwood had already bowed to him, the silver coffin chasing into the distance!
"Crazier than us damned demons in this hellhole!"
Drunken Fool took a swig of booze, watching the direction Blackwood's people were heading, unable to express his admiration, he followed them.
...
"Run, we must run back!"
On the shuttle, Elder Felix's face was pale with sheer terror. He vaguely understood why Drunken Fool had let him go, but he had no choice!
A ghostly voice echoed from behind.
"Drunken Fool wasn't wrong about you, you still want to run." Elizabeth seemed to regain a moment of clarity, but quickly reverted to madness, lifting a lump of rotten flesh, her face bloodied and bearing a horrific smile, "Look Felix, the child is calling for mommy, haha, we have a child now!"
Felix gritted his teeth, but he had no time to deal with this madwoman.
Suddenly, his expression drastically changed.
Above the clouds, a sound like a great bell, filled with resentment!
"When you chased my Blackwood in-law, did he run like this too?"
He saw him—Nathan!
That bastard who smashed all his hopes into a lump of rotten flesh with a coffin, was chasing after him!
Nathan's psychic coffin was even faster than his shuttle.
"Seven years, Elizabeth felt the pain of a relative's death, do you know why we Blackwoods left you alive for seven years?"
Nathan slowly drew a large ghost-headed saber, his voice as grim as Yama, "Because only she felt it, while you, the mastermind behind it all, hardly felt it, unfortunately, your family is all dead. Hearing you want another child, we waited seven years, you should feel the pain my children felt losing their relatives."
"Do you feel it?"
Hearing this, Elder Felix's eyes bulged in fury, he finally understood.
Seven years ago at the Azure Cloud Pavilion, he thought the Blackwood's revenge had ended with the display of the Lopez family's decapitated bodies, but... that was just the beginning!
For these seven years, they had been waiting for this day, waiting for Elizabeth to give birth, waiting to pin their hopes on this unborn child.
The Blackwoods intended to destroy not just their lives, but their souls!
And now...
"Run with all your might, just like the Boar Monarch Pete ran back then!"
Nathan's face was ferocious, he exhausted his psychic power, pouring it into the ghost-headed saber, and a huge saber shadow slashed towards the psychic shuttle!
Amidst the sound of breaking air, Nathan's roar echoed, "Only you would slaughter mercilessly! Now, you coward who only knows how to run, and that madwoman beside you, remember, remember how you chased the Boar Monarch Pete that day!!!"
"Beasts, Blackwood beasts!"
Elder Felix, his liver and gallbladder split with rage, cursed loudly, his Developing Skill began to burn, frantically driving the psychic shuttle to fly rapidly.
He really remembered.
He remembered that day, the pig demon king, like them today, was battered and chased towards Forest Town.
He felt it.
The desire to live, the desire to return to the Sky Sect!
But...
"Boom!!!"
The huge saber shadow struck the psychic shield Elder Felix had erected in an instant, the tremendous force pushing the psychic shuttle to accelerate forward, and in that moment, Elder Felix actually felt fortunate, fortunate that he was running faster!
Looking ahead where the psychic shuttle was heading, Nathan, standing on the Straight Death Coffin, squinted his eyes and shook his head,
"Pity, you're not the Boar Monarch Pete , you don't deserve it. When the Boar Monarch Pete came back, it wasn't to flee for his life, he came to bring news back to our Blackwood. For that, he didn't even defend, he used all his psychic power to escape."
"He was a warrior, and you, you are a coward."
