It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

Zhao Xu was not comforted; instead, his heart felt even heavier. If he didn't take lives, what was the point of taking them?

My gaze fell on the red-glowing cross that was affixed to Jiang Ting's back.

This red light looks so evil.

"Then what exactly are you doing?!"

Hidden in the darkness, Pastor James smiled gently, "It's just taking away some abilities that shouldn't exist in this world."

"Holy shit!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but swear, then turned and ran upstairs.

Pastor James's ability is to steal other people's abilities, so those of them who have the ability have almost no chance of winning against him.

Only one person has a chance of winning.

Master Zhidu!

"Bang bang bang!"

Zhao Xu pounded on Master Zhidu's door, "Master, come out quickly and save people."

Hearing the sound, Jido and Hanxi inside the room did not move, but looked at Jido.

Zhi Du slowly straightened his monk's robe, got up and opened the door. Before Zhao Xu, who looked anxious, could speak, he said, "This old monk can't beat him."

Zhao Xu's expression froze as he was about to speak. After a moment, he said, "Master, that Pastor Zhan can strip others of their abilities. No one but you can deal with him."

Upon hearing this, Han Xi's mouth gaped open in surprise. The seemingly gentle Pastor Zhan actually possessed such evil abilities.

"Amitabha." Master Zhidu smiled wryly, "Benefactor Wen, this old monk also has the ability."

During the day, he only anticipated that Pastor James would take action, but he did not anticipate his abilities.

He only calculated that among everyone, only Han would die, so he thought that as long as he protected her, he didn't need to worry about the others.

But just as he heard Master Jiang's voice, he cast a divination.

It was this divination that allowed him to discover Pastor Zhan's abilities, and at that moment, he hated this useless ability of his.

It's better to have nothing than to have it.

Zhao Xu was stunned. "Master, what abilities do you possess?"

As soon as he finished asking the question, he could clearly see that Master Zhidu's ears were twitching.

"Do you have hearing abilities?"

Master Zhidu nodded.

Zhao Xu turned away in despair; he needed to find a way to save Black Hawk.

At that moment, his mind was perfectly clear. He thought of Vikram, who could control swarms of snakes, and that Pastor James's abilities should be ineffective against snakes.

Ignoring his fear, he jumped out of a second-floor window.

Luckily, it was grass below, so the fall wasn't too painful. I groped my way to pick up my fallen glasses and ran towards the building where the servants lived.

Before they even got close, they encountered a snake blocking their path.

"Go tell your master that Pastor James's ability is to steal power."

The snake, having raised its head, turned and hissed a few times towards Lou Si behind it.

Zhao Xu knew that it had notified Vikram, so he waited where he was.

About five minutes later, Vikram came out and stood about ten meters away from Zhao Xu.

"So, what do you want from me?"

To be honest, Vikram was quite shocked when he heard that Pastor James's ability was to take away people's abilities.

This ability is far too dangerous for those who possess it.

But upon further reflection, I realized that as long as I stayed away from him, I wouldn't be in danger.

Zhao Xu knew Vikram's personality and principles, and never expected that he would take the initiative to deal with Pastor James.

He stated his terms directly: "Vikram, I know your rules. If you can save Jiang Ting and Wu Yougong, our country will owe you a favor."

Vikram's eyes lit up with interest when he heard that the country owed someone a favor.

"Is your country China?"

"yes!"

"Can you make that decision?"

"Yes!" Zhao Xu replied decisively, then added, "However, this favor cannot be for you to do something that violates our country's laws or is morally reprehensible."

After thinking for about ten seconds, Vikram slowly nodded. "Okay, I will try to help you rescue them, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to save them."

Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as Vikram has done his best, this promise still stands."

Vikram was satisfied and immediately began chanting a spell. The snakes that had been unearthed during the day crawled out of the ground again and headed towards the Min residence.

Jiang Ting had been using her internal strength to resist the force within her body, but as time went on, she gradually lost her strength.

Despair enveloped her.

Although Pastor James said it wouldn't kill her, what's the difference between having her powers stripped away and taking her life?

Having lofty ambitions but lacking the ability to achieve them makes living worse than death.

Who! Who can save her?!

Yun Li!

Black Hawk cried out in his heart, remembering Master Zhidu's words that Yun Li would appear tonight.

Now we can only hope she appears soon, before Jiang Ting's powers are stripped away.

If you ask him if he's worried about Yun Li being caught by Pastor Zhan, he's not worried at all.

Because he believed in Master Zhidu.

The only way to break tonight's deadlock is through Yun Li.

Whoosh!

Clang!

First came the sound of shattering glass from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the main hall, followed by the sound of a large rock hitting the ground.

Pastor Zhan looked at the stone that had rolled to his feet with a look of surprise on his face, then looked at the broken French window.

Whoosh!

Clang!

A large floor-to-ceiling window next to it was also smashed.

Jiang Ting, who was feeling dizzy from exhaustion, immediately woke up when she heard the sound and tried to look around.

Hope grew in my heart.

Black Hawk was positioned in the center of the living room, giving him a much wider field of vision than Jiang Ting.

Seeing someone smashing the window outside, he breathed a sigh of relief; someone had come to rescue him and Jiang Ting.

A moment later, I heard a hissing sound and the gliding sound of something sliding.

He immediately realized that it was Vikram who had made the move.

For the first time, he found this gloomy guy who always had a snake wrapped around his neck kind of cute.

Jiang Ting also heard the sound and knew that Vikram had made his move; her feelings were complicated.

Yesterday she targeted him as her number one enemy to eliminate, but today he actually came to her rescue.

Pastor Zhan's face turned grim; these snakes were not created out of thin air by the ability user.

Rather, this world truly exists, and he simply cannot crush these real things as easily as he crushes vines.

Judging from the sound, there were quite a few of them, and he couldn't kill them all in a short time.

This is also why he never considered harming Vikram.

He just couldn't understand it; given Vikram's personality, he shouldn't have bothered with this kind of thing.

Considering that the wood-elemental user fought him to the death yesterday, it's really hard to imagine that he would come to save people.

Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind: literature and theory.

He must have hired Vikram.

A snake crawled to his feet, and he crushed its head with a single stomp. Looking out the window, he said, "Vikram, let's talk. What conditions would it take for you to leave?"

Vikram naturally heard it, but he didn't want to respond because he couldn't afford to offer Wenli the terms.

He had wanted to visit China, a mysterious and ancient country, for a long time.

Pastor Zhan, receiving no response, knew that the man didn't want to talk to him, and sighed helplessly, "You forced us to do this."

While staying in the room, Zhi Du's hands flew across the room as he rapidly calculated, his face growing paler and paler.

"This is terrible! How can there be such a thing?"
