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

"Oh wow, you've got some skills after all?"

As the owl spoke, it stomped down again.

"Boom!"

This time, multiple cracks appeared on the soul power barrier!

"Boom!"

Another kick, and even more cracks appeared!

Even the cracks in the soul power barrier were bursting with light!

Marquis Sun Ke was pale and completely terrified.

He knew that this defense was ineffective, so he simply removed the barrier, used a teleportation technique to move away, and flashed hundreds of meters away.

Taking advantage of the opening when he dodged, Marquis Sun Ke quickly formed hand seals: "Eighth-tier Ghost Spirit - Nightmare..."

"What the hell are you?" Night Owl's voice came from behind him, grabbing Marquis Sun's already sparse hair from behind.

Then, grabbing his head, he spun vertically from the sky and crashed to the ground!

"boom!"

It smashed a huge crater in the ground!

"Martial Arts Technique - A Fist That Slams Hard into the Face!"

The owl then pulled Sun Ke's head out of the ground.

Then he immediately punched him in the face several times in succession.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang—!”

Marquis Sun initially wanted to cast the barrier again to try and resist.

But after a dozen or so punches, the barrier shattered as expected!

Sun Ke was completely desperate.

He simply couldn't understand how he, a first-level Heavenly Enlightenment Realm expert, could be so utterly defeated by a ninth-level Asura Realm expert...

Five minutes later.

Marquis Sun Ke lay on the ground, his face swollen like a pig's head, completely unable to move.

Night Owl stood to the side, lit a cigarette, and took a leisurely puff.

Then he squatted down and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke onto Marquis Sun's face: "Hey, isn't this Old Sun? Why have you been acting so badly lately? Your Heavenly Revelation Realm is probably a bit of a rip-off."

Marquis Sun Ke: "..."

Night Owl removed Marquis Sun's cybernetic watch and asked him, "What's the password?"

Marquis Sun Ke: "..."

"Oh, so you can't speak after I beat you up, huh?" Night Owl pried open his mouth. "Then I'll rip your tongue out and save it for someone who might need it!"

"Awooo ahwooo!!!" Marquis Sun Ke cried out in terror.

Night Owl: "You're willing to talk again?"

Sun Ke: “032754......”

Night Owl: "That's more like it."

Night Owl picked up his watch, dialed a number, and then made the call.

Soon, Wang En's holographic projection appeared in front of him.

"Hello, Wang En, long time no see." Night Owl waved his hand, then deliberately adjusted the camera on his watch to capture him and Marquis Sun Ke, whose face had turned into a pig's head, in the frame: "Come on, say hello, look who's this?"

Wang En: "......"

“Your army doesn’t seem to be doing very well.” Night Owl shifted the camera to the soldiers buried alive and roasted under the sand, with only their charred arms and heads sticking out: “They got lost on their way back to their posts, and judging by their condition, they probably won’t make it back.”

Wang En: "......"

Night Owl smiled slightly: "Surrender, Wang En. You have no chance of winning this war. You don't really expect those vampires to help you turn the tide, do you?"

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The communication was disconnected.

Night Owl shrugged: "Such a sensitive soul, hanging up after just a couple of words..."

......

"Your Grace, the Ye family army is advancing rapidly southward..."

A subordinate dressed in black knelt before Wang En, reporting with a complex expression, "Tianyue City, De City, Mo City, and more than twenty other cities... have all fallen..."

Wang En's expression was extremely gloomy.

But he didn't say much, perhaps knowing it was pointless to say anything now. He simply waved his hand and said, "I understand. Go now."

The men in black withdrew.

"boom!"

As soon as the men in black left, Wang En slammed his fists onto the platform.

"Night Owl!"

You tricked me!

Wang En's body began to tremble involuntarily.

Now he understands, he understands everything.

He originally thought that Viscount Linna and his men were able to discover the Night Family's camp because Night Owl was deliberately trying to lure them there and set up an ambush.

Unexpectedly, those fools, Viscount Linna, actually betrayed him! They surrendered to the Ye family!

These idiots! What will be the consequences of surrendering to the Ye family? Didn't they think about that?! Do they really think they can survive by joining the Ye family?!

'So, the Ye family had anticipated this all along; they knew he would send troops...'

'The Ye family also anticipated that Marquis White Elephant and his forces would launch an attack tonight...'

"So he deliberately plotted against both of us, hoping we would both perish, while they drew away our southward-bound defenses and seized the opportunity to gain a huge advantage..."

Wang En's body was trembling slightly. He had never felt this way before. Every move he made was meticulously calculated. He had never felt this way, not even when he was opposing Ye Quan.

It's clear that Night Owl has a very capable strategist by his side, who could be so calculating?

Wang En was very annoyed, but it was too late for regrets now.

He looked at the map beside him. In just one night, more than twenty cities had been occupied by the Ye family. If this continued, they would soon be attacking!

"It seems they've cornered you." The old mage slowly emerged from the darkness and handed Wang En a uniquely shaped necklace.

The necklace has a somewhat eerie and frightening appearance. The green and red gemstones strung on it are carved into the shape of the heads of unknown creatures.

Wang En's eyes flickered, and he took the necklace: "It worked?"

“Yes,” the old man said. “As you wished, it has been enchanted with special dark runes and enhanced to +12 stars.”

"However, this dark rune is a one-time use item, and you must not let your status attributes drop below 20% while using it, otherwise you will suffer a backlash."

"I understand." Wang En put the necklace around her neck.

As soon as he put it on, he seemed to hear a soft murmur coming from the necklace.

"It seems you have to push the vampires a bit," the old mage advised. "We need to drag them down with us. Otherwise, you'll have no chance of turning the tide on your own."
