The burning torch was covered in kerosene. In the process of tilting the torch, kerosene dripped down and made the flame burn on the ground. If the kerosene fell on a person, there was no doubt that they would be burned on the spot.
Henry's movements were stopped by the young woman's action.
Jenny's looked particularly gaunt under the light of the fire. She had nothing to do with this matter but was implicated.
Seeing Henry stop, the young woman showed a victorious smile on her face.
The village chief of Li's village, who had been sitting on the altar with his legs crossed, slowly stood up. With his crutch, he turned around and stood on the altar. He looked down at Henry and said in an old voice, "Young man, you're in trouble."
"Trouble?" Henry smiled. "I've never known what it means to get into trouble!"
"Really?" The young woman sneered and drew the torch closer to Jenny.
The clothes on Jenny's body were filthy, wrinkled, and her skin was very pale. Outside the iron cage, there was an iron bowl. There were some leftovers in the bowl. The leftovers had been given to Jenny, which meant that Jenny had been locked up in the iron cage all this time!
Such a scene made Henry's eyes instantly turn red. He still remembered that when he first saw Jenny, she was dressed in a white dress and sitting among those children with a smile on her face. She was a very kind person, but at this moment, she was treated like this!
Why was he called The Conqueror?
He dared to do anything others didn't dare to do.
He dared to kill the one others didn't dare to kill.
He dared to attack the forces others didn't dare to.
In short, in this world, there was no one who could threaten Henry!
No one could withstand Henry's anger! Even if it was Li's Village, whose origin was mysterious or the official others dared not to provoke, they couldn't bear Henry's wrath!
Henry stared at the young woman and said calmly, "I'll give you three seconds to put down the thing in your hand."
"Ha." The woman smiled scornfully. "Are you threatening me?"
"One!" Henry did not answer the woman's question and said directly.
The woman deliberately raised her hand, and the torch was closer to Jenny. The kerosene dripped down to Jenny's side, and only one centimetre away from Jenny's body.
"Two!" Henry took a step forward.
The woman put the torch closer to Jenny. Now, as long as the kerosene could drip down, it would fall on Jenny and light her clothes.
Henry didn't count to three. He said to the darkness, "Kill!"
At the moment when Henry spoke, a cold light appeared in the darkness, from the back of the altar, straight towards the young woman's back.
The young woman did not notice the appearance of this cold light at all. She still looked at Henry as if she was the winner.
The cold light quickly cut off the hair on the back of the woman's neck. At this moment, the young woman was suddenly dragged to another place, leaving the cold light in the air.
The young woman looked at the person in front of her in confusion. "Patriarch."
"Watch your back." The village chief of the Li's Village, who was holding a cane, said in a low voice.
The young woman looked at the place where she had just stood and saw a black figure standing there. The black figure wore a ghost-faced mask and held a long blade in his hand.
