Chapter 79: Hellfire
The withered woman fell down in a sorry state.
Her eerie blood-red eyes were filled with anger, hatred, and fixed onto Du Changheng.
Soon, she got up from the ground and rushed madly towards Du Changheng, with the determination to perish together with him, as well as to destroy everything in their path.
The sound of the withered wooden branches, which moved like legs beneath her, was piercing and creepy as they scraped against the ground.
Just as the woman was about to get close to Du Changheng, a faint golden light burst out of his body.
The withered woman was pushed away again and fell on the ground in a sorry state.
Tears of blood dripped from her red eyes.
She stared at Du Changheng with such hatred that she wished to drink his blood and eat his flesh, making sharp, shrill noises from her mouth.
Those who listened to her couldn't help but feel moved.
How much hatred could make someone hate another person so much?
Qin Ruan looked at Du Changheng with indifference. She saw clearly that the golden light that pushed away the withered woman came from him.
Finally, this commotion woke up Du Changheng.
He was the only one who's conscious.
The other six members of the exploration team were still asleep, and the Lingyun Manor guards remained motionless, with no sign of consciousness.
Seeing the withered woman, Du Changheng quickly got up, rolling and crawling to the corner of the wall.
His eyes were full of fear, and he cursed fiercely, "Ah, ghosts! Go away! Go away!"
The woman's blood-red eyes fixed on him, but suddenly her eyes flickered.
The light-colored handkerchief that had fallen to the ground caught her eye.
Her rough, bark-like hand slowly reached out.
In front of everyone's gaze, her hand gradually transformed.
The woman picked up a light-colored handkerchief from the ground, clutching it tightly in her hand. Blood began to seep out from her hand, staining the handkerchief a deep red.
This sight triggered something in Du Changheng, causing him to become entranced by the woman's delicate and beautiful hands. He looked over at Ling Xiaoxuan and suddenly sprinted towards her.
Seeing this, Qin Ruan furrowed her eyebrows and pulled Ling Xiaoxuan behind her. The withered woman also stood up and charged towards Du Changheng at the same time.
Qin Ruan calmly raised her finger, summoning a dark blue flame in her palm. "Step any closer, and I'll reduce you to ashes!" she warned in a cold, steady voice.
The other exorcists around them may have never seen the power of the Hellfire before, but they could feel the immense strength emanating from the flames. They all felt a sense of fear, like a weak prey facing its predator.
The withered woman stopped in her tracks, her blood-red eyes shaking slightly with fear. Meanwhile, Du Changheng looked relieved to have found a savior and continued to run towards them.
Ignoring Qin Ruan's warnings, he charged ahead, but she was not afraid to use force. She stood up and kicked him hard, sending him crashing to the ground. Du Changheng lay there motionless for a while, struggling to get back up.
The withered woman approached him again, but once again, he was able to use his powers to push her away. She became enraged and began to thrash around wildly.
Ling Xiaoxuan sat behind Qin Ruan, her mind blank and her once-beautiful face now pale and lifeless. Suddenly, a strong smell of blood and an intense aura of resentment filled the room.
