A Sacrifice

Although Zhou Ruoshui, who was standing behind Xiao Yi, wasn't affected, she stomped her feet with anxiety when she saw this scene.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Zhou Ruohui was extremely anxious but she knew that she couldn't help him. With a flash of inspiration, she immediately went into the ancient castle.

"Find Edward. Maybe Edward will find a way to do it." Zhou Ruoshui rushed to the outside of the dungeon while thinking about it.

"Edward! Edward!" Zhou Ruoshui threw herself on the door of the dungeon and shouted loudly.

"Ruoshui, is that you?" The man's surprised voice immediately came from inside the door.

"It's me. I'm here to save you!" As Zhou Ruoshui spoke, she used all her skills to destroy the forbidden formation in front of the dungeon.

Initially, there were a lot of guards in the dungeon. However, before Patriarch Allen's death, he had used the entire clan's blood to summon the Death God. The guards and disciples of the dungeon were also told to leave this place. There was no one guarding this place, and those guards set up the forbidden formation on the door. The guards' blood was sacrificed to the Death God, and their strength was significantly reduced. Therefore, these forbidden formations became weaker.

Zhou Ruoshui finally opened the door to the dungeon.

A figure flashed through the door, and Edward appeared at the door.

The two looked into each other's eyes as if they had been separated by a lifetime. They hugged each other tightly.

However, after a moment, Zhou Ruoshui broke free from her beloved man's arms and immediately said anxiously, "Edward, Patriarch Allen, he has summoned the Death God. It is coming and will not stop until everyone dies. Mr. Xiao will soon be defeated. What should I do? He is my benefactor."

"I saw it. Don't worry, follow me!" Edward nodded calmly, took Zhou Ruoshui's hand, and rushed straight to an attic at the top of the ancient castle.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi, the Utmost Wolf King, and Jacob were fighting the Death God to dispel their bodies' discomfort. The situation was worsening.

Not long after, under the shiny scythe of the Death God, Xiao Yi and the other two were all injured.

Xiao Yi and Utmost Wolf King both had giant swords protecting their bodies, which was a little better. However, Jacob just used his sharp teeth to tear the phantom of Death God. However, the damage was minimal. The more he bit, the more rapidly the black Death Qi emitted from the burnt cloak.

He began to stumble and was caught off guard by the Death God. It swung its scythe and landed on Jacob's back.

With a whizzing sound, a two-foot-long wound appeared on Jacob's back. The wound was so deep that bones could be seen, and fresh blood gushed out.

Although Jacob was tough, he also howled in pain. The gray-black Death Qi invaded even faster.

Jacob staggered, unable to keep his own safety as he completely lost the ability to fight.

Even the three of them together were not a match for the Death God. Now that Jacob was down, Xiao Yi and Utmost Wolf King's hearts sank at the same time.

"Could it be that we're really going to die here today? Does the arrival of the Death God really mean that we'll have to fight to the death?" Xiao Yi and the Utmost Wolf King had the same thought.

At this critical moment, Zhou Ruoshui, who had just entered the castle, reappeared in everyone's field of vision. At the same time, a handsome young man appeared.

Xiao Yi knew that the man must be Zhou Ruoshui's beloved man, Edward.

"Ruoshui, wait for me here. I'll help Mr. Xiao!" Edward gave Zhou Ruoshui a big hug and whispered.

"Edward, you have to be careful!" Zhou Ruoshui said with a tearful voice.

"I will!" Edward gently kissed Zhou Ruoshui's cheek and immediately swept over.

Zhou Ruoshui, on the other hand, was in tears. Her eyes were filled with endless worry.

When Xiao Yi saw Edward coming over, he was happy in his heart, but secretly shook his head. With Edward's strength, if he came to resist Death God, he would be like tantamount to suicide.

Just as he was about to divide a trace of his True Energy and send him out of the battle, Death God saw Edward join in.

When Edward was over the crowd, the Death God waved his scythe fiercely without any sound, aiming at Edward!

"Be careful!" Xiao Yi hurried to use the Doomsday Sword to save Edward.

With a whooshing sound, the Death God suddenly appeared in front of the Doomsday Sword and blocked the sword radiance with a group of illusions.

At the same time, the shining big scythe completely hit Edward's body.

"Puch!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two strange sounds rang out one after another.

Edward groaned in pain.

The scythe directly cut Edward's chest. His clothes were torn, his flesh was turned over, and his blood was flowing out. Although he didn't die, he was still terribly horrible.

"Edward!" Zhou Ruoshui screamed and was about to rush to Edward.

"Don't come over!" Edward shouted to Zhou Ruoshui with all his strength.

At the same time, inside Edward's body, a silver thing suddenly fell down.

It was a silver cross. "Bang!" It was obvious that strange sounds were made by the scythe when it cut on the cross.

They didn't know what material it was made of. It was intact under the scythe of the Death God, so it protected Edward, and he was not cut off in the waist.

However, the moment he fell, Edward waved his hand and started the gear quickly. Then, the cross was suddenly divided into two parts.

"Edward is a member of the Blood Clan. How can he touch the Holy Cross?" Xiao Yi asked, a thought flashing through his mind.

The next second, he saw that there was a light screen inside the broken cross. Inside the light screen were drops of water, like the wet things in the spring rain. They were dense, covering the Death God, Xiao Yi, the Utmost Wolf King, and Jacob.

The beads of water were sparkling and translucent, like the most ordinary beads of water. However, Xiao Yi could acutely sense that the beads of water contained an endless amount of pure power, and were brimming with life.

Before they could do anything, they were covered with tiny water drops.

As soon as Xiao Yi, Jacob, and the Utmost Wolf King touched the beads of water, they felt refreshed. The Death Qi that had just invaded their bodies was instantly washed away.

However, the Death God's situation was exactly the opposite.

As soon as the phantom of the Death God touched the beads of water, it gave off a buzzing sound and a puff of white smoke.

The Death God let out a scream that was even worse than the Night Owl. It immediately leaped into the air and swung its scythe viciously, cutting through the light barrier. Then, it fled away.

However, after traveling a few hundred meters, the phantom of the Death God had been completely melted by the drops of water. The black cloak, which was full of holes, flashed rapidly in the air a few times and suddenly exploded like fireworks, turning into gray-black smoke, which slowly drifted away with the wind.

The black scythe, however, was not affected. After losing Death God's control, it fell rapidly from the sky and landed squarely in front of Xiao Yi.

The Death God completely disappeared because of the appearance of the mysterious cross.

Xiao Yi, who was already in despair, was stunned by this strange scene. With a change of his mind, he knew that the liquid in the cross was definitely not ordinary water. It must be something that could restrain the Death God. It was said that everything had its vanquisher.

Now, a trace of the Death God had completely dissipated, and the crisis had been entirely resolved.

Even though some of those werewolves were invaded by the Death God's Qi, making them feel highly uncomfortable, most of them still relied on their powerful bodies to force the Death Qi out of their bodies.

Seeing Patriarch Allen's death and Death God's dissipation, everyone was in high spirits, looked up to the sky, and roared.

Looking at the member of the Blood Clan on the ground, the werewolves showed their sharp teeth and immediately gathered around them.

"No! Please don't!" Edward, who was seriously injured, tried his best to rush to the people in front of him. His face was pale, and he blocked the werewolves with his bloody body.

"Patriarch Allen is dead. The three Kings are also dead. My people's strength has declined a lot because of the sacrifice of the Death God. At this moment, they are weak. Please let them go!" Edward said with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Before Jacob could speak, several giant werewolves behind him shouted in unison, "Let go of the Blood Clan? Dream on! If today's situation was reversed, would the Blood Clan let go of us?"

"Kill the Blood Clan, kill all the vampires, and avenge the dead!" The werewolves shouted loudly and took another step forward.

Looking at their shiny teeth, Edward felt the strong murderous intent and hatred. Seeing that the wolves could not let go of him, Edward put his hand on the wound on his chest and closed his eyes in disappointment. Then he slowly opened his eyes and said word by word, "Then step on me first!"

"Ow!" The werewolves looked at the determined Edward, but they all roared loudly. They didn't intend to retreat at all.

At this moment, however, Zhou Ruoshui rushed over with tears in her eyes and shouted to all the werewolves, "Do you know that it was Edward who saved you just now? The Holy Water of the Angel was stored in the cross. A High Priest refined the Holy Water with the help of God's tears hundreds of years ago to oppress the evil spirits. Patriarch Allen killed the High Priest, but he was never willing to destroy the unique Holy Water. Edward knew that the Death God could only be defeated by the Holy Water of the Angel. But if he took it out openly, the Death God would definitely notice. Edward cut his own skin and flesh, put it in the cross, and covered up the aura. Then he finally killed the Death God. Otherwise, in front of the Death God, how could you live? Open your eyes and look at Edward's chest."

Zhou Ruoshui tore away Edward's clothes as she spoke, revealing the horrible wound on his chest. While the skin and flesh were turned out, everyone saw that the skin and flesh were obviously scorched. Obviously, the holy aura of the cross itself caused damage to Edward.

"He decided to sacrifice his own life for the sake of every living being present and was lucky enough to survive. And now, are you all going to tear him to pieces?" Zhou Ruoshui was already screaming in the end.

Upon hearing this, the werewolves were stunned.

Jacob frowned and asked, "Edward, why did you do this? Why did you save us werewolves?"

"Because the hatred between the werewolves and the Blood Clan has gone on for too long. It's been so long that we don't even remember why we have to be enemies for generations. I would die without regret if my sacrifice could be exchanged for peace between the two clans. Ruoshui once told me that in Hua Country, there is an ideal that says you should sacrifice yourself to seek justice." Edward said word by word.

"Sacrifice yourself to seek justice? I don't understand, but your bravery has made me admire you. For the sake of Edward's outstanding action today, let's retreat! I hope you can be the new chief of the Blood Clan, so that the Blood Clan will no longer be cruel and rude from now on. Otherwise, our werewolves will come again." After that, Jacob shouted to the sky, ordered all the people in the clan to retreat, and finally withdrew from the periphery of the castle.
