The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

Upon hearing this voice, Jiete's face changed dramatically: "Ghost Hand, it's you!"

The Bright Saintess lifted her head, gazing at the man standing atop the giant tree. That man hovered above the treetop, with a faint mist of dark gas swirling around him as if he had merged with the darkness itself. If he hadn't actively spoken, the Bright Saintess and others would have been oblivious to his presence.

"This is a master at the Peak of Divine Realm!" From the man's aura, the Bright Saintess discerned Ghost Hand's true strength, feeling bitter in her heart.

Jiete's cultivation was only at the Early Divine Realm, and having suffered severe injuries, his current strength could at most exert half its potency! Siteli, on the other hand, wielded the strength of the Demi-God Domain, utterly defenseless against a Divine Realm master!

Although the Bright Saintess held the strength of the Peak of Divine Realm, her power was inherited from Daimier, lacking real-world combat experience, making it difficult to utilize the strength of the Peak of Divine Realm.

In other words, the three of them present combined were likely no match for Ghost Hand!

Ghost Hand glanced at the three individuals, ready for anything, then lightly descended from the treetop, looking at Jiete with interest: "Initially, I had planned to have fun with you all. But I didn't expect you could expel the Dark Corrosive Power I left within you, which surprises and intrigues me greatly!"

As he spoke, Ghost Hand looked at Jiete's chest, noticing the fresh skin growing there, a flicker of shock in his eyes: "Your injury was healed by this woman, wasn't it?"

Ghost Hand pointed at the Bright Saintess while Jiete sneered and said: "With your limited power, I can easily expel it myself. You're overestimating yourself!"

Meanwhile, Jiete transmitted a message to the Bright Saintess and Siteli: "Ghost Hand's strength is exceptional; the three of us can't face him. I'll try to stall him as much as possible while you take Siteli and leave quickly!"

The Bright Saintess looked surprised at Jiete, noticing the madness and determination in his eyes.

She sighed gently; if possible, she truly wished to leave, but now is not the time! Because Ling Feng was attempting a breakthrough nearby, her escape would inevitably cause Ghost Hand to search the area, definitely exposing Ling Feng!

Thinking of this, the Bright Saintess shook her head.

Jiete's eyes flashed with urgency.

"Heh, aren't you all quite daring, transmitting messages right under my nose? Quite interesting!" Ghost Hand squinted and said: "Though I don't understand your words, I imagine they're inconsequential. Would you like half an hour to run, then I can hunt you down? How about that?"

Ghost Hand's words were filled with mockery, causing Jiete's face to look grim in an instant. His words indicated that he had ample confidence in catching them.

At this moment, Siteli shouted: "Jiete, I've had enough! I'm tired of being toyed with like a mouse! Let's fight him, even if we die, let's die with glory!"

Jiete's eyes quivered, and then he slowly nodded: "Alright, starting today, we will stop hiding!"

Ghost Hand scoffed: "Mere slaves dare boast, truly ignorance is fearless!"

As he spoke, Ghost Hand looked at the Bright Saintess with interest, more intrigued by her than the two condemned "slaves."

The remnants of the Bright Saintess's energy lingered on Jiete; Ghost Hand naturally knew that the one who dispelled his power was this beautiful and captivating woman.

"What's your name?" Ghost Hand asked the Bright Saintess, "I'm interested in your power. If you come with me, I guarantee you won't be harmed! I suppose you're only fleeting acquaintances with these two slaves. Surely, you wouldn't oppose Blood-roar Castle for these insignificant slaves?"

Jiete and Siteli's hearts sank. If the Bright Saintess joined them, there remained a sliver of hope; if she was swayed, they'd indeed face certain death.

The Bright Saintess greatly disliked the aura emanating from Ghost Hand; as the heir of the Power of Light, she had a natural aversion to the dark and corrosive powers.

"Is Blood-roar Castle that powerful?" The Bright Saintess couldn't help but ask.

Ghost Hand laughed heartily, boasting: "Our Blood-roar Castle is one of the strongest on the northern border of Divine Cloud Continent. Our Blood Howl City Master is a master of the Sea of Gods Realm, commanding countless masters at the Peak of Divine Realm. The entirety of Crying Ghost Valley belongs to us. How do you perceive our strength?"

Yet Ghost Hand's boast was in vain, as the Bright Saintess lacked any concept of such things.

"Though I know you are strong, my instinct tells me you're not a good person!" The Bright Saintess stated seriously, "Moreover, I certainly won't go with you, but I won't meddle in your affairs either; if I just leave now, how about it?"

Ghost Hand's face darkened; he sneered: "Although you are beautiful, you've made a very foolish choice! Since you've sided with them, I won't show any mercy!"

The Bright Saintess sighed; having experienced so much, she was no longer the naive and headstrong Holy Maiden of the Church!

Given the chance, she genuinely wouldn't want to intervene in the battle between Ghost Hand and Jiete, as she had only met Jiete fleetingly, her help in expelling the darkness from his body was kindly enough!

But Ghost Hand seemed unwilling to spare her, instead aiming to capture her entirely! Did she really appear so easy to bully?

The Bright Saintess grew angry; it's one thing for Ling Feng to bully me, but you, such an ugly creature, dare bully me? Do you truly think the Bright Saintess is defenseless?

The Bright Saintess glanced at Jiete, and he somewhat understood her intent, flipping his hand over, revealing the Broken Sword.

"Ghost Hand, today it's either your death or mine, come and meet your doom!" With those words, Jiete transformed into a whirlwind, charging towards Ghost Hand.

Meanwhile, as the Bright Saintess waved her hand, a beam of white light fell upon Jiete. The surface of his body manifested the Armor of Light, the Power of Light infused into him, making Jiete feel as if he had returned to his Peak state.

"Mere child's play!" Ghost Hand proclaimed arrogantly, "I'll ensure you comprehend what true fear and despair mean!"
