Divine-level Base
Chapter 212 - 211: Assassination
This Void Demon Hunting Ground was neither big nor small, its total area roughly two-thirds the size of the Qianyuan Republic on Blue Star.
The three nations ruled by the Void Demons each possessed ten major cities, which were surrounded by countless towns and villages, much like the Rabbitman Village where Luna lived.
Besides those three great nations, many resistance forces also existed within the Void Demon Hunting Ground. These groups were formed by powerhouses from different worlds who, for various reasons, were unable to return to their original homes. Trapped in the Void Demon Hunting Ground, they established resistance armies of all sizes.
Blood Wood City was one of the ten major cities of the Blood Country, ruling over hundreds of surrounding towns and villages of varying sizes. Blood Wood City was filled with experts. It housed a total of fifteen Blood Demon Nobles, and the strength of its City Lord and two Vice City Lords was considered unfathomable.
Outside Blood Wood City stood a forest of stakes, upon which were impaled thousands who had dared to defy the city. Among them were more than a few prodigies who had snuck in from the outside world.
Yusso had been sent on behalf of one of these fifteen Blood Demon Nobles, Baron Ola, to demand Blood Slaves.
Within Blood Wood City, a Knight spurred his horse into a gallop, racing to Baron Ola’s Mansion before dismounting with a single fluid motion.
"Valos, how did you get so badly injured?"
The two soldiers guarding the entrance to Baron Ola’s Mansion asked in surprise.
The current Valos was covered in wounds. Even with a Vampire’s formidable healing abilities, he had only just managed to stop the injuries from worsening.
"Lord Baron! I have an extremely urgent report and must see the Lord Baron at once!"
Valos’s body trembled as he shouted through gritted teeth.
One of the soldiers said, "Alright! I’ll inform the Lord Baron immediately!"
Inside the reception hall of the Baron’s Mansion, the grievously wounded Valos stood quietly in the center.
A tall, handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes walked into the hall. A hint of malice lurked between his brows. He strode to the main seat, sat down, and looked down coldly at Valos. "Valos," he said flatly, "I was just savoring the blood of a virgin screaming in despair. You have interrupted my pleasant time, and I am quite displeased. If your intelligence is not as important as I imagine it to be, I will have you roasted and fed to those wretched Blood Slaves."
This young man was none other than Baron Ola, master of this mansion, renowned for his cruelty!
"Lord Baron, I have something important to report. I must ask you to dismiss your attendants! This concerns the very fate of our entire Baron’s Mansion!"
Valos dropped to his knees with a thud, speaking with the utmost respect.
"Hm?"
Baron Ola’s gaze sharpened, and he waved his hand.
The experts hidden around the room withdrew one by one.
Baron Ola said, "Alright. Speak!"
A faint ripple flashed through the void, and the Steel Beast, having already completed its Two-stage Transformation, suddenly materialized. Its right hand transformed into a Steel Scythe and swung viciously at Baron Ola.
Hassina also appeared abruptly from the void, swinging her sword, Heavy Rain. Accompanied by terrifying draconic roars, her blade slashed toward Baron Ola.
"Assassins!"
Baron Ola’s expression changed drastically. His body instantly underwent Vaporization, transforming into a bizarre mist that fled into the distance.
The Steel Beast’s scythe sliced into the dense mist. Its Spiritual Power erupted, instantly shattering a small patch of the fog.
Hassina’s sword also struck the mist, likewise shredding a small piece of it.
With a shimmer of ripples, Shu Feng appeared. He unleashed Great Sun Across the Sky, which transformed into a terrifying, blazing sun that hacked madly at the mass of mist.
The bizarre mist instantly condensed, reforming into Baron Ola’s body. A vicious light flashed in his eyes as his right hand became a blade. A terrifying arc of light, formed from Blood Flame, slashed fiercely toward the Great Sun.
BOOM!
A terrifying explosion ripped through the void. The Great Sun collapsed, and a shattered remnant of the Blood Flame slash continued straight toward Shu Feng.
Shu Feng retreated rapidly, channeling his Spiritual Power. The Spiritual Membrane on his body surged, forming a Spirit Mirror in front of him.
The slash of Blood Flame struck the Spirit Mirror. The bizarre Blood Flame churned and forcibly shattered the mirror, continuing on to strike Shu Feng’s body.
"Hundred Refinements Steel Body!"
Shu Feng frantically channeled his Spiritual Power. His muscles tensed, becoming like a piece of steel.
The slash of Blood Flame struck Shu Feng, barely managing to tear open a gash before it collapsed.
However, wisps of a strange, malevolent Power of Void Demon surged in through the wound, entering Shu Feng’s body and causing his blood to boil as if it had been set on fire.
This was the terror of the Blood Demon Race’s Blood Flame. Once it entered the body, it clung like a maggot to bone, making it extremely difficult to expel. If one’s Cultivation Technique was too weak and they didn’t receive timely treatment, the Blood Flame would continuously burn the victim’s blood until it was completely exhausted.
In that same instant, a razor-sharp tail, like a Sharp Sword, pierced through Baron Ola’s body. The Steel Beast lunged forward, grabbed the Baron’s head with its claw, and smashed it furiously into the ground.
BOOM!
With another terrifying crash, Baron Ola spat out a mouthful of blood as cracks spread across his body.
Hassina seized the opportunity, her sword flashing down like a meteor to sever all of Baron Ola’s limbs.
With a flicker, Shu Feng appeared before Baron Ola. He reached out, grabbed the barely breathing Baron, and pulled him into the Source Energy Evolution Tower.
Countless transparent tentacles extended, piercing into Baron Ola’s body. They injected various viscous fluids and began the brutal process of remolding him.
"Lord Baron!"
Baron Ola’s strength was so overwhelming that even with Shu Feng’s surprise attack, they hadn’t been able to take him down instantly. The commotion had alerted the Baron’s guards stationed outside. Dozens of them, led by a short-haired Commander, charged into the hall.
"Kneel!"
Shu Feng madly activated the Power of his Phantom Badge. His eyes became like two unfathomable vortexes as he looked at the dozens of guards rushing in. A mysterious Illusory Fluctuation swept over them all.
"Greetings, My Lord!"
The eyes of the dozens of guards glazed over. As they looked at Shu Feng, it was as if they were seeing Baron Ola. They trembled, their eyes filled with Fear, and they all dropped to their knees.
Baron Ola was a cruel man whose word was law. Anyone who defied his orders died a miserable death. Naturally, his guards would never dare to disobey him.
"No, you are not the Baron!"
The Commander of the guards, Balanda, was a Spirit Sect Realm Vampire. His eyes were blank for only a moment before he regained his senses and roared.
