Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Old Jin's body slowly slid down the wall, his chest caved in completely, clearly indicating that his sternum was completely broken.

This shows the power of Scarface Tiger's punch!

"who are you?"

Instructor Scarface clenched his fists, took two steps forward, and stared fiercely at Old Jin.

Ye Ge said leisurely, "No need to ask, we know it was someone sent by Duke Wang En."

Old Jin slowly raised his head, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He glanced at Ye Ge and said contemptuously, "Heh heh, as expected of the Ye family's young master, truly clever..."

Bao Bingqing frowned: "Wang En's men arrived so quickly?"

Ye Ge said, "There's nothing surprising about it. Wang En has been secretly keeping many assassins in various places. This one just happens to be nearby."

Instructor Scarface stared at the imposter Old Jin: "What orders did Duke Wang En give you assassins?"

"..."

Old Jin remained silent.

"You won't talk? Then I'll make you suffer."

As he spoke, Scarface grabbed Old Jin by the neck and lifted him up from the corner.

To everyone's surprise, Old Jin's lips curled into a smile.

The next moment, the skin on his neck bulged, and one large lump after another appeared.

Then these swollen lumps of skin broke open, and sharp bone spurs grew out!

His bones had actually grown out of his body!

Instructor Scarface's pupils contracted, and he quickly released his grip.

But his wrist was still cut by Lao Jin's bone spur.

Within seconds, Instructor Scarface's slashed wrist quickly turned a deep purple, showing obvious symptoms of poisoning.

"The Poison Bone Man?"

Long Ying realized what was happening and shouted, "Everyone, step back!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly retreated.

As students of the War Academy, they certainly knew about the Bone Man.

This is a type of mutant profession. These mutants undergo genetic modification of their bones from a young age and drink a special poison from the age of five to allow their bones to evolve the ability to grow skin freely at any time.

Their bones are stronger and more numerous than those of ordinary people, and they are also highly toxic. Once the bone spurs come into contact with blood, they will become contaminated, and they will die within five minutes if they do not receive treatment!

It is an extremely dangerous mutated type of superhuman!

These mutants are usually assassins who have been modified from childhood by some imperial nobles, specifically to carry out killing missions, and they are extremely dangerous!

The room was small, and after everyone dodged away immediately, there was hardly any room left to hide.

Old Jin rushed forward, laughing loudly. His bones protruded from his body, making him look like a hedgehog, which made people afraid to approach him.

Ye Ge drew his straight sword, showing no panic despite facing danger from Old Jin, and calmly dealt with the situation while holding the sword.

With two sharp "ding" sounds, his two bones were severed.

"..." Old Jin glanced at the broken bone in the center of his right palm with surprise: "Your knife is pretty sharp, isn't it?"

"That's right." Night Song: "Want to try again?"

"Hmph, you only have one knife in your hand, let's see how many angles you can block!" Old Jin said, as a bone grew from his left hand, and at the same time, a section of the bone that had been cut off in his right hand grew back.

Despite being attacked from both sides simultaneously, Night Song handled the situation with ease.

At this moment, Old Jin narrowed his eyes, and suddenly a long tail covered with bone spurs grew out of his buttocks, just like the tail of a Stegosaurus, and lashed out at him fiercely!

"Xiao Ye, be careful!" Xia Xiyao warned.

But it's too late.

The tail, covered in bone spurs, lashed out at Yege.

"Pfft-"

More than a dozen sharp bone spurs pierced his body!

Everyone in the room stared wide-eyed.

Xia Xiyao's face turned pale: "Xiao Ye!"

Old Jin smirked: "Heh, got it... Hmm??"

He paused for a moment, then quickly realized something was wrong.

There was a "bang" sound.

Struck by the bone spike tail, Night Song vanished in a puff of white smoke...

Old Jin: "???"

A slight look of surprise appeared on Gao Shenxue's usually calm and composed face.

But the girl's eyes seemed to suggest that she had expected this.

This Xiaoye is not the real person...

Is it a clone?

"Wh...what's going on?..." Old Jin was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, Xia Xiyao and Long Ying seized the opportunity and used their skills simultaneously to control Lao Jin.

"Tier 1 Ability - Wood Spirit Entanglement"

"Third-tier ability - Water Crystallization"

Old Jin's legs were first entangled by the growing vegetation, and then his body was struck by the water crystal. The liquid quickly condensed into red crystals on his body, rendering Old Jin unable to move.

"call......"

Long Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Jin lay on the ground screaming, but he couldn't break free from the solidified water crystals.

"Fortunately, we managed to subdue this strange man in time."

Long Ying turned her head: "Instructor, are you alright?"

Instructor Scarface, clutching his blackened right wrist, shook his head: "I'm fine, it'll be treated quickly... But what happened to Night Song just now..."

“It’s Xiaoye’s Shadow Clone Technique,” ​​Gao Shenxue said slowly. “What Lao Jin hit just now was probably just his clone.”

"...Huh??" Nangong Qiuyue was dumbfounded: "Doesn't that mean that the person who just came back with us from the vampire camp..."

"Hmm, it should just be a clone of Night Song."

"Then...where did Xiaoye's true form go??"

Xia Xiyao asked blankly.

"..."

Gao Shenxue did not speak.

But she seemed to have understood something...

Long Ying frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly seemed to wake up.

Difficult?! Could it be?! ...

.......

Vampire Camp.

It was already daytime. Brian stood atop a mountain peak, gazing at the overlapping mountains shrouded in white mist in the distance, and squinted slightly.

Among the dark races, most do not like daytime, especially races like vampires, werewolves, and nightmares. They prefer the night, as the glaring sunlight during the day makes them lose their energy, while the night increases the combat power of vampires by 50%.

Similarly, vampires during the day are only 50% as powerful as those at night.

Therefore, although vampires have higher stats on paper than humans at the same level, this limitation makes it fair.

"It's that dreadful daytime again."

Viscount Brian took out a handkerchief, elegantly removed his gloves, wiped his hands, and then slowly asked, "How did things go last night?"

“Last night, those hunters from Dark City launched a surprise attack on our camp, but it shouldn’t have been an attempt to break out,” the vampire warrior beside him reported. “They only made a feint attack and didn’t linger with us for long before retreating.”

"So you didn't give chase?"

"Uh... the area around Dark City is ultimately human territory. The people of Baobingqing have set up many traps around there. We suffered losses because of this last time we fought them, so I'm hesitant to pursue them too far..."

"waste!"

Brian cursed.

“Yes…” The vampire warrior lowered his head.
