Xu Yi punched back the Crow Man and rushed towards the house below.
By now, he had no choice but to try and exploit something in Chris's situation, to see if he could stop the Ring of Destruction.
He burst through the wall of the house, his expression growing increasingly ugly.
Chris's face was gnawed beyond recognition, her body lying on the ground, lifeless.
Although she was dead, the music from the old player did not cease; the Sugar Plum Fairy was still there.
The Sugar Plum Fairy had killed her target, so why was she still here?
Obviously not because she didn't want to leave, but because she couldn't; the Ring of Destruction had somehow trapped her there.
Xu Yi felt a sense of frustration; even if he wasn't a match for the three great pieces of alchemical machinery of the Ring of Destruction, at least he could have fought a glorious battle.
Unlike now, even if he could defeat the Crow Man before him, it wouldn't decide the direction of events.
