Long Chen and Dongming Yu carefully passed through the camps of the major Blood Clan factions, heading deeper into the Yin-Yang Realm. The Blood Clan's position was larger, and Long Chen and Dongming Yu had traveled for the time it takes to burn an incense stick before finally passing through this area.
Crossing over a mountain peak piercing the clouds, Long Chen and Dongming Yu saw endless bloodclan experts ahead surging like a tide around an area.
At the core of that area, the two were locked in a frenzied battle, their fists roaring and blood energy surging to the sky. Every collision made the void tremble—both were truly super experts.
Of these two, one was a Blood Clan expert, while the other wore strange clothing, his eyes shone with blue light, and he had long hair. Although he looked a bit odd, he was indeed human.
"Who is this person?" The phenomenon has fully awakened, and the spiritual blood has been activated. It can't be an unknown person. Why don't we recognize him? Dongmingyu said in surprise.
"Die!"
The blue-eyed man suddenly shouted sharply, punching open the vampire expert's fist, dodging the vampire's kick with dominance and skill. His five claws hooked like a hook, grabbing the vampire's throat.
The blood clan expert's face changed drastically, and he didn't dare move at all, because as long as the blue-eyed man unleashed his power, he would surely die.
"This guy is so strong-willed."
Dongming Yu's pupils contracted slightly. After all, that Blood Clan expert was probably not much weaker than the Golden Horn Blood Clan expert Long Chen had slain, yet this person managed to capture him alive.
Long Chen was secretly alarmed. When the blue-eyed man made his move, runes flashed in his pupils. Although the distance was too great, Long Chen could guess that when he struck, he must have activated a kind of ocular technique that had affected the blood clan expert's judgment—a rather strange technique.
"This is the third one. According to the agreement, I have already won. You must fulfill your promise and let me return to the Blueheart Continent." The blue-eyed man gripped the throat of the blood clan expert with his large hand and said coldly.
From what the blue-eyed man said, it seemed the Blood Clan had promised him that if he won three matches, he could regain his freedom.
"That's right, you've already won. Now you're free. You may leave!" An elder from the Blood Clan spoke.
As soon as the old man spoke, Long Chen immediately recognized the man's voice. Back then, Long Chen had been stopped by three fourth-step Tongming Realm experts, and this man was one of them.
But Long Chen didn't dare look at this person, because his stealth technique was just a scratch. If he directly looked at a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert, it would be easy to sense him.
Dongming Yu smiled faintly, her jade hand holding Long Chen's large hand. Long Chen slowly closed his eyes and, through Dongming Yu's shared vision, saw the appearance of the old man.
Just as Long Chen had expected, the speaker was none other than one of the powerful figures who had once besieged him. If it weren't for the Dragon King of the Thunder Domain intervening, he would have died in the Yin-Yang Realm.
What Long Chen didn't expect was that what was once three elders had now appeared—seven fourth-step Tongming Realm experts. Even though Long Chen was bold beyond words, he still felt a chill in his heart. If discovered, he and Dongming Yu would be completely doomed.
Fortunately, Long Chen had absolute confidence in Dongming Jade's stealth technique. As long as he kept a safe distance, the chance of being discovered was extremely low.
"Crack, crack..."
As the old man spoke, blood-red iron rings lit up on the blue-eyed man's wrist, ankle, and neck. The rings shattered and fell to the ground.
The blood-red iron rings shattered, and the blue-eyed man's aura surged dramatically in an instant, his suppressed aura slowly rising upward.
"Our Blood Clan has always kept our promises and valued promises. You may leave now." The elder of the Blood Clan, the fourth step of the Tongming Realm, spoke.
"Thank you,"
the blue-eyed man thanked him, slowly letting go of the vampire man, but his eyes still carried intense caution as he slowly retreated outward.
"Pfft"
Suddenly, the blue-eyed man spat out a mouthful of blood, his face changing drastically:
"You guys... "So despicable... The
blue-eyed man trembled all over, spiderweb-like blood-red runes appearing on his face, instantly covering his entire body. His whole body cracked like porcelain, struggling desperately to keep himself from shattering.
"We followed our agreement, already released you, and unlocked the Blood-Patterned Soul-Chasing Lock for you, letting you be free. How can you call that despicable?" The Blood Clan Fourth Step Tongming Realm expert sneered sinisterly.
"Bastard, you tampered with my body. Once the lock is unlocked, I'll ...."
"Pfft."
Before the blue-eyed man could finish, he spat out another mouthful of blood, and his body shattered into pieces. The scene was bizarre and terrifying.
The blue-eyed man died, and soon a blood clan expert stepped forward to handle his body, busy with various bottles in their hands.
"Leave behind your roots, and continue to nourish the divine embryo with spiritual blood, spiritual bones, and soul marrow." The elder of the Blood Clan, the fourth step of the Tongming Realm, seemed to have gotten used to it and spoke calmly.
After the old man finished speaking, the people had already packed up the bodies and slowly left. Soon, another prison cart was pulled over, and inside a burly man covered in fur let out a beast-like roar: "
Blood clan trash, let me out and fight! I'm going to smash you all into meat patties."
The burly man frantically smashed the carriage, but countless divine patterns empowered it onto the prison cart. Although it buzzed from the vibration, it was not destroyed.
"Another Spirit Blood Awakened powerhouse." Long Chen gasped. The strangest thing was, he had never seen this powerhouse before.
"Brother Long Chen, do you think this expert is one from the outside world?" Dongmingyu whispered.
If it were a powerful figure, Long Chen and Dongming Yu might not know each other, but after two consecutive appearances, they didn't recognize each other.
Most importantly, although they were human, their aura was quite different from the powerful figures of the Tianwu Continent.
"Very likely." Long Chen nodded, agreeing with Dongming Yu's guess.
"Kid, be patient. As long as you can defeat the three warriors of our Blood Clan, we'll unlock your Blood-Pattern Soul-Chasing Lock and let you go free. Our Blood Clan always keeps our word and never goes back on our word." The Blood Clan's Fourth Step Tongming Realm expert spoke.
"Whoosh."
After speaking, a young Blood Clan expert was already standing in front of the prison cart. He was also a tall and powerful figure, his blood and energy surging—clearly a Blood Clan expert skilled in strength.
"Crack"—
the rune chains on the prison cart snapped, releasing the human powerhouses inside.
The human warrior's arms trembled, the phenomenon behind him stretched open, runes swirling, forming thousands of torrents. Empowering himself, he threw a punch down at the blood clan expert.
"This person's strength is immense."
Long Chen was startled. The power of this human powerhouse surged with the blessing of the phenomenon, far exceeding his expectations.
"Boom!"
The human warrior's punch struck like a star. Although the blood clan expert was prepared, he was still struckHis body trembled violently, the ground beneath his feet shattered, and he was forced to retreat.
"Whoosh!"
The human powerhouse threw a punch, spun around, and swung one leg like a long whip. Despite his large and clumsy build, his movements were as agile as lightning, far beyond Long Chen's expectations.
The blood clan expert hadn't yet recovered from the force of the first punch when the human warrior's whip kick was already aimed straight for his neck. Terrified, the blood clan expert hurriedly bent his arm to block with his elbow.
"Crack!"
The kick was incredibly powerful. The blood clan expert's arm was shattered, but the human warrior's foot still slammed hard into the blood clan expert's neck.
The blood clan expert's neck made a crisp sound, clearly a bone had been kicked off, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Smack!"
The human warrior grabbed the blood clan warrior's neck, his eyes twisted with rage, as if fire was about to spit.
"You've already won. If you beat two more people, you can leave safely... said the Blood Clan's Fourth Step Tongming Realm expert.
"Pfft"
But before the Blood Clan Fourth-Step Tongming Realm expert could finish, the human expert exerted force with both arms and slammed his head into the blood clan expert's head. The head, shattered with a single blow.
"Courting death!"
The Blood Clan Fourth Step Penetrating Nether Realm expert flew into a rage. With a wave of his hand, a black-and-white chain shot out, binding the human expert.
"You bloodclan scum who have killed a thousand blades, just you wait. We humans will one day erase you from this world..."
The human warrior roared angrily, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from the chains. Instead, the chains tightened tighter and tighter. Amid the human warrior's roar, the sound of bones breaking was mixed in.
Seeing the chain, Long Chen's expression changed slightly. Back then, when he was surrounded by three fourth-step Tongming Realm experts, they had already deployed such chains.
These chains were formed from the laws of life and death. Even if he unleashed his full power, he couldn't break them. Only with no other choice did Long Chen summon the Thunder Domain Dragon King, allowing him to escape.
"Pfft!"
A blood clan expert stabbed into the human warrior's forehead, killing him instantly.
The blood clan expert drew his blade, and on the blade was a humanoid pattern that was still pulsating wildly—this was extracting the person's soul.
At this moment, the fourth-step Tongming Realm expert stood up and shouted loudly, "This martial demonstration is over. Now you should know that the humans from another world are no longer the same as before; they have become even stronger."
If you judge their strength by historical standards, you will be the ones who die.
Although no matter how strong they become, the ultimate victory belongs to us. The fruits of victory can only be tasted by the living; as for the dead, they will only become rotting flesh and blood, nourishment for the enemy, and become sinners of history. The
fourth-step Tongming Realm expert spoke the language of the blood clan. However, Long Chen had killed so many blood clan experts and conducted countless soul searches. Understanding their language was not difficult at all.
"Alright, disperse. Offer the last batch of offerings to the Divine Embryo." After speaking, the fourth step of the Tongming Realm finished speaking, waved his hand, and all the blood clan experts slowly dispersed.
At that moment, a group of people and horses, dressed in unusual clothing and carrying strange objects, headed straight in one direction.
"Let's go see what they're up to."
Long Chen gave Dongming Yu a look, and the two of them spared all the blood clan experts and ran in the direction where they had left.
