NOVPUB"Wu Bin, what should we do now?"
At this moment, Song Bing was completely at a loss, unsure of what to do next.
Although he was very angry about his aunt Wang Li’s betrayal, and even nearly acted irrationally himself,
seeing Tang Hao kill Wang Li with his own eyes was still something Song Bing couldn’t accept.
Even if Wang Li was entirely at fault, you can’t just kill her in such a brutal manner!
You’re no different from an executioner!
Wu Bin whispered, "I think they’re conducting some kind of evil ritual; they must be summoning something. We need to find an opportunity to disrupt this ritual."
Song Bing was somewhat nervous on the side.
"How can we possibly disrupt it, you saw it too; Ding Sheng is too powerful, we’re no match for him at all!"
"Why don’t we just pull back, wait for the rescue team to come and then we can capture them all then."
Song Bing still held strong moral principles, knowing that since Tang Hao had broken the law, no matter his status, he must be brought to justice.
Wu Bin wasn’t interested in catching anyone; his entire focus was on the blood-covered Maitreya.
At this moment, the eerie red glow on the blood-covered Maitreya grew more intense, and Zhu Quanyou, who was hung up, was clearly not going to last much longer, his body slowly starting to struggle less, a clear sign that he had reached his limit.
Wu Bin realized that if Zhu Quanyou died, the summoning ritual would be officially successful.
Although Wu Bin didn’t know specifically what they were doing, his intuition told him that if the ritual succeeded, the situation would turn very bad.
With this in mind, Wu Bin told Song Bing to stay here and watch, while he himself circled to the side to see if he could find a chance to destroy the blood-covered Maitreya.
"Wu Bin, don’t go too far, I’m scared."
Watching Wu Bin disappear into the shadows, Song Bing’s heart instantly hung in suspense.
He really couldn’t understand why Wu Bin insisted on meddling in this matter.
Why couldn’t they just retreat now while they hadn’t been detected?
After dealing with Wang Li, Wan Xiu knelt in front of the blood-covered Maitreya, muttering some scripture under his breath.
Although Song Bing couldn’t understand it, the scripture made him feel very uncomfortable, even somewhat breathless and panicky.
Song Bing shifted two steps to the side, but these two steps unbeknownst to him, kicked over a bottle nearby.
"Who!"
Tang Hao’s hearing was very sharp; he had already felt that someone might be hiding in the dark, constantly whispering.
Now hearing the sound of the bottle being kicked over, he was even more convinced of his suspicion.
Just as Tang Hao asked, Ding Sheng rushed towards Song Bing like a hound.
Song Bing was terrified and instinctively wanted to run.
But how could he outrun Ding Sheng, not to mention that Ding Sheng was well-trained, and the corridor ahead was a dead end.
Soon, Ding Sheng caught up and kicked Song Bing directly behind the knees without a word.
Song Bing, unable to keep his balance, fell forward heavily, face-first into the dirt.
"Don’t kill me! I’m Song Bing!"
Having seen Ding Sheng’s ruthlessness, Song Bing was no longer naive about his character.
Seeing himself brought down by Ding Sheng, Song Bing’s first reaction was to plead for mercy.
Song Bing was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Ding Sheng might just kill him right away, which would be very problematic.
Indeed, upon hearing that it was Song Bing, Ding Sheng hesitated instantly.
He had originally planned to stab Song Bing without hesitation, but now after a moment of hesitation, he grabbed Song Bing’s clothes and dragged him in front of Tang Hao and Wan Xiu.
"Song Bing? What are you doing here?"
Seeing the person dragged back was Song Bing, Tang Hao was very surprised.
Standing aside, Wan Xiu kept a poker face, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
Song Bing hurriedly explained, "The village temple collapsed due to a landslide, right? When my mom heard you were buried, she fainted from shock. My dad brought us up the mountain to dig and rescue you all, but I accidentally stepped into a deep pit and fell down."
"Uncle, I…"
Song Bing’s words trailed off, not knowing how to continue.
Wang Li’s body was right at his feet, and it was clear he had seen everything that had just happened.
Tang Hao’s expression also became tense instantly.
As a participant in this ritual, Tang Hao was very aware of the consequences Song Bing would face for showing up here.
Tang Hao said sternly, "What nonsense, is this a place for you to come? Stand aside, wait till I finish my business, then I’ll deal with you!"
Though Tang Hao’s tone was harsh, he actually wanted to protect Song Bing and save his life.
Unexpectedly, Wan Xiu spoke up, "Tang Hao, that doesn’t seem appropriate."
"Song Bing is not one of our Maitreya sect, and he has seen everything we just did. You know what must be done, don’t you?"
Tang Hao frowned and said, "Wan Xiu, what do you mean by this? He’s my nephew; would he harm us? He’s my sister’s only child, do you really want me to kill him here?"
Wan Xiu remained indifferent, coldly saying, "The sect has its rules. We cannot break them just because he’s your nephew. Are you not afraid that the revered Buddha will blame us?"
Hearing the words "revered Buddha," a flicker of panic and fear crossed Tang Hao’s eyes.
Tang Hao was well aware of the terrible consequences if the revered Buddha became angry.
Wan Xiu looked at Tang Hao and said, "What are you hesitating for? Get on with it!"
With a dagger in hand, Tang Hao stood still, silent.
"You won’t do it, will you? Fine, I’ll help you."
Having said that, Wan Xiu walked straight towards Song Bing.
Just as Wan Xiu was about to harm Song Bing, Tang Hao suddenly knocked Wan Xiu away and quickly dragged Song Bing along.
Ding Sheng, not receiving instructions from Wan Xiu, did not stop them, letting Tang Hao take Song Bing away.
Vehemently enraged, Wan Xiu pointed at the two and said, "Ding Sheng, what are you waiting for? Go, kill them both!"
Upon receiving the commands, Ding Sheng instantly transformed into another person and charged at them.
Ding Sheng was very fast; Tang Hao knew that they couldn’t outrun him like this.
Tang Hao shoved Song Bing.
"Keep running forward, the exit is just ahead, don’t look back!"
After saying this, Tang Hao turned around, took up his dagger, and stabbed at Ding Sheng.
However, Ding Sheng, agile as he was, dodged with only a flick and immediately drew his dagger, plunging it straight into Tang Hao’s chest.
The pain made Tang Hao lose all his strength in an instant.
Although the stab was not fatal, it was enough to incapacitate Tang Hao.
Just as Ding Sheng was preparing to chase after Song Bing, Tang Hao, gathering strength from nowhere, suddenly grabbed Ding Sheng’s clothes.
