Chapter 781 The Vampire Ace Squad

In the short time that Jiang He was almost dead.

The middle-aged vampire had quietly approached.

Earl John unleashed his full power, creating a vast serpent domain that could cover a radius of tens of meters, which was then reshaped into a single long serpent that charged out.

—Domain Secret Technique: Serpent Seal.

The long snake attacked and coiled around Jiang He's entire body.

He was able to react thanks to the Heavenly Evolution technique, but Marquis John, who was equivalent to a C-level Source Power user, attacked too quickly, and Jiang He's body and energy were not activated in time.

"This projection is ultimately too delayed."

The moment the long snake coiled around Jiang He, the energy within his body was forcibly calmed, becoming like a stagnant pool, and the enemy's domain possessed magic-suppressing properties.

Earl John stepped forward slowly and said seriously, "On behalf of the Duke of Tucson, I extend an invitation to you. If you are willing to join me, His Excellency the Duke will personally preside over the Embrace Ceremony. At all costs, you will immediately become a B-level powerhouse, and I will even become your direct subordinate."

The Primal Talent - Spatial Blink - is extremely rare and exceptional. Compared to other Tarot-level talents that still require growth, Spatial Blink, while consuming a vast amount of energy, allowed Dijiang to demonstrate extraordinary combat power even in the early stages of his path to transcendence.

The advancement of vampires does not rely on cultivation, but focuses on bloodline. It can be said that bloodline is everything. As long as one is willing to pay the price, a duke is fully qualified to directly create a marquis. It is just a matter of returning to the blood pool to sleep for a few years. If the advancement is orderly, instead of being directly created, the price will undoubtedly be lighter. In the various blood pools of the thirteen clans, a large number of high-ranking nobles are sleeping.

Of course, there are also huge limitations within the vampire clan.

Without the favor of his superiors, his title was almost permanent, and his life was not in his own hands. Under the instruction of Earl John, the old baron had no choice but to exchange his life for his own.

“I refuse,” Jiang He said.

Earl John frowned and said, "You're pinning your hopes on Lady Luo? To tell you the truth, if the street fighting in Majus County hadn't been more brutal than expected, the person responsible for capturing you would have been a noble marquis. Now, an earl has already gone to kill her himself."

Earl John hoped that the person before him could face reality.

But the next moment, his pupils dilated as if in an earthquake.

Whoosh!
Jiang He actually vanished under the seal of the Serpent Sealing Secret Technique. The space flickering consumed energy, but "Origin of Emptiness" consumed physical energy. The two may be similar, but they are not the same thing.

Count John was a little numb. It was obvious that Dijiang looked down on him. He had pretended to be ready to be slaughtered from the beginning, but still had the energy to try to extract information.

"Arrogant fool! He has no respect for anyone!"

"Blood Shadow Squad, the Duke has given me the authority to command in battle. Kill him now!"

In a single-soldier pit a few hundred meters away.

The elderly vampire count leisurely sipped his red wine, while the others sat around him, checking the forbidden items back and forth.

"Blood Shadow Squad received."

As the Duke's elite squad, the team consists of one count and four viscounts.

The elderly count glanced around, then looked at Sir Blackblood and said, “The four of you were all newcomers, but your qualities are extraordinary. The Duke promoted you, and now it’s time for you to risk your lives. This forbidden item, Shadow Tracker, has recorded the target’s aura. Once the target lands, we will give chase.”

"If anyone dares to try to fool me now, I will directly detonate the source blood within you. Don't expect any regenerative abilities."

Including Blackblood Jazz, all four players had serious expressions. The control over the source blood was extremely comprehensive, and no one had any way to be exempt from its control. According to the rumors in the boundless void, this was the fundamental ability of some vampire origins.

"understand!"

In an instant, the forbidden object, resembling a compass, lit up.

……

Hanguzhuang Village, underground karst cave.

Just as Luo Yeli finished loading the twelfth source energy cannonball, footsteps suddenly echoed in the relatively quiet cave.

A girl with pigtails emerged from an underground river, her body rapidly evaporating from the water. She carried a giant scythe and her eyes were bright red.

“Count Christine.”

Christine looked at the face of the person in front of her and suddenly laughed, "I've decided, I'm going to cut off your face and keep it as a collectible."

Luo Yeli's eyes shifted. Because of her one-quarter vampire bloodline, she had never had an easy life since childhood. She felt a mixture of disgust and inexplicable fear towards real vampires, especially high-ranking nobles.

In an instant.

The ground beneath Luo Yeli's feet turned to sand, as she prepared to flee.

Christine smiled, casually swung her sickle, and the underground river surged, a column of water bursting through the sand pool.

"This is my home court."

Luo Yeli gritted her teeth and had no choice but to use the backup plan left by Jiang He. Based on speculation, there were spies in the headquarters of the Third Main Regiment, so it was to be expected that her actions would be blocked.

A Rubik's Cube was thrown out and landed, transforming into a human shape.

It has one head and four arms, is tall, and looks like a demon.

Luo Yeli and Christine were both surprised. Even the former didn't know that the Rubik's Cube could become a C-level combatant. Jiang He only said that throwing it out could save their lives.

The Demon of the Blade glanced at the twin-tailed girl and said coldly, "You little bastard, I'll take you back to keep the Great Lord company!"

Without Jiang He watching over them, the vicious soldiers were basically uncouth.

Christine laughed, a murderous glint in her eyes, and immediately stepped forward with a scythe, ready to tear the enemy to pieces.

Luo Yeli turned and ran; she had an even more important mission to complete.

……

The front line, a hillside a thousand meters away.

The vampire sniper's corpse was still on the ground.

Just as Jiang He was about to set up his gun to snipe Marquis John, five streaks of light flashed around him, and the Blood Shadow Squad arrived in pursuit.

Without any hesitation, the elderly count charged forward with his sword, merging the Blood Domain with himself to enhance his speed in every way.

Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, a sword was slashed out.

The extremely sharp blade struck Jiang He's neck, but unfortunately, this time, the near-death experience caused by the talent "Equal Sin" was not present. "Seeing God Unharmed" and "Premonition of Crisis" remained active, and the longsword passed right through her body.

—Secret Technique: Illusionization.

Jiang He raised her hand and touched the old count's arm.

The next moment, he vanished in a flash, returned to the anti-artillery bunker at position 36, threw down a grenade to detonate the shell, and then switched positions with the elderly count who had left the ouroboros mark.

Jiang He returned to the battlefield. The elderly vampire count, his face filled with terror, vanished from the spot.

From the hillside, one could vaguely see the blinding flames shooting into the sky at the end of the line of sight. Eighty-eight D-level source energy heavy artillery shells detonated at the same time, and the elderly count was fortunate enough to be granted the right to observe, as the explosion engulfed him face to face.

Rumble!
A visible white shockwave swept across the surrounding area.

The clouds parted, the ground trembled incessantly, as if the entire battlefield was shaking. Position 36 was reduced to dust amidst the flames and mushroom cloud. A deafening roar swept across the land, leaving people deafened.

Jiang He was slightly out of breath.

Swapping space with an earl two levels above himself cost him half of his physical strength.

The four players were dumbfounded, instinctively realizing what was happening.

"Are you kidding me?"

"They killed him instantly, what's the point of playing?"

"Serves him right for being a nobody even at dusk, trash combat power!"

"Attack together! You have no other choice!"

Jiang He instantly threw out eight flying knives, each wrapped with internal energy.

Of the four players, "Viscount Windbringer" flicked two fingers, and a large shield woven from four wind threads immediately materialized. Blackblood Knight stretched out his hands, and a sticky shadow adhered to it, greatly enhancing the defensive resilience and reducing kinetic energy.

—Combined Attack Secret Technique: Black Blood Wind Shield.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The quenched throwing knife hit the defense, and with the added force of the internal energy, it blasted a large hole in the Black Blood Wind Shield. However, the material of the throwing knife itself was not particularly outstanding, and it shattered under the intense impact.

"We almost wiped them all out if he had some good stuff!"

"This defense doesn't make me feel safe..."

The group's anxious mutterings suddenly stopped.

One of the quenched throwing knives shattered, but another throwing knife suddenly appeared right below it, continuing to shoot forward. The streak of light pierced straight into the eye socket of a player named Viscount, killing him instantly.

boom!
The body lay motionless on the ground.

"A sense of presence!"

"He diminished the presence of the second throwing knife!"

"Could this guy be one of the foreign powers?!"

Viscount Jinhuo and Viscount Fengxi looked tense, but their movements were swift. The former released the secret technique, Earth Fire Pillar, while the latter created a wind shield from a distance. Both secret techniques materialized under Jiang He's feet.

—Combined Attack Secret Technique: Earth Fire Tornado.

boom!
A wide fire tornado, more than ten meters high, rose from the ground.

Jiang He sprouted two wings on its back, took off, and created distance between them.

Blackblood Sir, Ember Viscount, and Windbreeze Viscount attacked simultaneously, giving it their all.

A wide, millstone-like airflow channel was created, and as it aimed at Jiang He, flames poured in recklessly.

The strong winds restrain and concentrate the power of the flames, accelerating them, while the high temperature reduces the difficulty of controlling the wind's power, making it even more swift. The two enhance each other, multiplying their power.

call!
A giant fire dragon's breath, tens of meters long, burst forth.

High in the sky, Jiang He unleashed three punches in quick succession. His indestructible internal energy combined perfectly with the Fantasy Wave Gene, releasing three secret techniques: the Great Wave Cannon. The Raging Wave struck the dragon's head.

Boom!

Loud noises and intense light echoed continuously in mid-air.

In the shadows illuminated by the flames, Blackblood Knight transformed into a shadow and rapidly ascended into the air, approaching before materializing into human form and thrusting his sword with all his might straight at Jiang He's brow.

Wind, fire, and shadow achieved a high degree of harmony.

—Combined Attack Secret Technique: Dragon Breath Slash.

Blackblood was completely focused at this moment.

He was waiting for the moment when the enemy would become invisible.

Once he enters the ethereal state, the three wave-type secret techniques will most likely disintegrate, allowing the dragon's breath to deliver the second blow. He must quickly transform into shadow form to avoid dying at the hands of his own people.

But at this moment.

Blackblood Jazz's sword strike missed its mark, and he was greatly alarmed.

Whoosh!
Jiang He disappeared from mid-air and arrived next to the second throwing knife that had just killed the player's enemy.

"He has weakened the presence of that throwing knife again!" Blackblood Sir was terrified. He had been on guard against what Dijiang threw, but he still overlooked the existence of the throwing knife. This ability to make things seem less obvious in the dark is extremely deadly in battle.

“Turn around quickly!” Blackblood Jazz shouted.

Jiang He squatted on the ground, stretching his hands to the left and right, with steel spikes shooting out from his palms.

Swish!
The steel spikes pierced the backs of the two viscounts, the shockwave shattering their brains, and they died instantly.

Blackblood Knight landed and fled without looking back; a shadowy figure, resembling snot, moved with incredible speed.

boom!
A throwing knife landed in front of him, and Blackblood Jazz changed direction.

Bang bang bang!
Dozens of throwing knives fell, forming a circle.

Jiang He repeatedly flashed into view, blocking the enemy back into the circle.

Time passed quickly as the two sides competed in physical strength and energy. Blackblood Jazz gritted his teeth and self-destructed, turning into more than a dozen identical "human-shaped snot." His D-level Shadow talent was clearly not enough to allow him to fly or disappear into the ground.

Jiang He clasped her hands together in prayer.

Puff puff!
Within a radius of thirty meters, enormous steel spikes shot out of the ground, forming a steel forest. The spikes pierced through all the humanoid snot-shaped figures, repeatedly penetrating them until one of them gradually revealed the body of Blackblood Jazz, riddled with holes and rotting flesh.

The Blood Shadow Ace Squad has been completely wiped out.

Jiang He calmed down the fatigue that was surging through his body. Black Blood Jazz was a bit troublesome. If this guy became a B-level or A-level, the power of the shadow could become very difficult to kill.

A stream of fresh blood essence flowed back along the steel spikes.
