37: Chapter 18 Ghost Immortal Altar 37: Chapter 18 Ghost Immortal Altar “[Listen to me]” Self-destruction, gunman!”

As Cheese’s cherry lips parted slightly, a sinister and undeniable command was issued.

The Long Spear Knight whose long spear was slashed by Li Yelai, breaking his armor.

His body paused as if caught in some fierce struggle.

Then, under Wang De’s astonished gaze, he raised the broken spear in his hand and plunged it directly into his own shattered armor’s chest.

The broken spear pierced through his chest, and illusory blood poured out.

“What are you doing?” Wang De exclaimed in panic, shaking the Silver Bell again, “Stop!

Stop!

Come back!”

However, the Long Spear Knight, with both hands exerting force, continued to stab the broken spear into his chest until it pierced his heart.

The next second, several golden spell rings formed around the knight and then shattered loudly.

The Long Spear Knight weakly knelt on the ground, ultimately letting out a reluctant roar.

He died there, disintegrating into ashes.

Wang De stared blankly at the scene, “How is this possible?”

The strong Long Spear Knight, just because of a word from this girl, committed suicide?

It was the powerful knight’s ash that he had obtained at great cost and effort from a certain entity.

According to the being with the Black Umbrella, it was good goods from a Disaster Forbidden Zone, possessing the strength equivalent to a Spiritual Ability User undergoing Second Awakening.

And now, he was just dead?

The crowd, witnessing this scene, was also stunned and speechless.

The Long Spear Knight, though only severely wounded by his bloody battle with Li Yelai, still had remarkable fighting power.

Now, merely killed by a word?

“Is the Path of Babbling this awesome?

Can I switch paths?” Li Yelai, looking at his own bloodied tiger’s mouth, felt that his previous fighting was all in vain.

At the same time, he felt an inexplicable chill in his chest.

Perhaps as a gunman himself, seeing the pitiful death of the Long Spear Knight, even Li Yelai felt a bit fearful.

The gunman died just like that, while all he could do in their long battle was break the armor.

And Cheese settled it with just one word?

That gunman was really unlucky, wasn’t he?

Thinking back to the arduous fight, Li Yelai’s feelings were complex.

But in fact, without Li Yelai’s armor-breaking and damage, Cheese’s ability probably wouldn’t have worked.

Li Yelai’s armor-breaking drastically reduced the Long Spear Knight’s spiritual resistance.

That was the main reason for Cheese’s successful attack.

However, it was indeed shocking now.

The Path of Babbling seemed to have no combat power, and its abilities were mostly hypnotic, suggestive, and other auxiliary effects.

But the real combat effect was terrifying.

The mere power of words could clear everything.

It was unknown how horrifying it would be after a High-level Perception Awakening.

Li Yelai felt emotional inside, but his hands did not stop.

Seeing the Long Spear Knight was dead, he directly stepped forward with his sword, his Crimson Long Sword cleaving towards Wang De.

At the same time, the Detective picked up a rifle from a body and sprayed bullets at Wang De.

This forced the Double Blade Knight to step in front of Wang De to block with his sword.

The Double Blade Knight swung his swords fluidly, effortlessly blocking Li Yelai’s assault and activating a Spiritual Barrier to block the sweeping bullets.

From just this exchange, Li Yelai understood that the Double Blade Knight’s strength was even above that of the Long Spear Knight.

But because he had to protect Wang De, he was unable to freely Flash Body and create distance, greatly diminishing his strength.

He could only passively defend against Li Yelai’s assaults.

Meanwhile, Wang De took the opportunity to rush towards the blue brick house.

However, Cheese quickly swallowed the candy in her mouth to suppress the effects of the curse, and immediately spoke again, “[Listen to me] Cardiac Arrest!”

The Double Blade Knight naturally did not react, he didn’t even have a heart—he was merely summoned from ash by the Silver Bell.

But Wang De couldn’t handle it, upon hearing the words, he only felt his body sway and his vision darken, then he heavily crashed to the ground.

He fell headfirst, bleeding, but he struggled to move to the doorstep of the blue brick house, forcefully closing the large door.

From the beginning, he had concealed something from Li Yelai and the others.

It was true that the blue brick house had the ability to accept offerings and fulfill the user’s wishes, but there was actually no time limit.

And through multiple sacrifices, he had discovered a dangerous hidden aspect of the blue brick house.

That is, if he closed the door and made a wish without offering any sacrifice,

Then…

eerie changes would occur in the blue brick house, an eerie entity would emerge from the house and forcibly take away flesh and life from the wisher’s surroundings.

And this required even more flesh and blood than a normal sacrifice, what could normally be fulfilled by sacrificing a live cow would now take the life and flesh of a living person.

This seemed to be a punishment for wishers’ freeloading!

Now, why would Wang De care about such punishments?

So after he closed the door, he bellowed out, “Great and fair Ghost Immortal, I make a wish to you.

I offer you a sacrifice!

Please let me escape the Giant City!”

Li Yelai and the Detective, stunned, they hadn’t seen Wang De offer any sacrifice.

However, the next second, the blue brick house trembled, the doors opened again, and a tide-like shadow surged out.

Before anyone could react, the shadow instantly covered the entire basement.

In an instant, pairs of pitch-black human arms stretched out from the shadow, grabbing at everyone!

Li Yelai, Cheese, the Detective, and other members of the Wang Family, and even the Double Blade Knight, were all seized by the suddenly emerging pitch-black arms.

The bodies of the deceased armed personnel were also grabbed by the arms, quickly merging into the shadow below, as if there was another world beneath the shadows.
