C196 – Jiangchen Has Arrived
“Successfully acquired. Empirical value x2000000 obtained.”
Loong Chen retrieved the empirical value dropped by Dracula upon his demise, discarding it as if it were mere refuse.
The bewildered Blood Emperor finally grasped the situation.
“You were aware of my ambush. This was intentional!”
Blood Emperor’s handsome visage contorted with visible veins, exuding a fierce demeanor.
Dracula, the mightiest prince of the Blood Race, succumbing to death dealt a significant blow to their ranks.
What stoked his fury further was being manipulated by this human to slay Dracula.
“Realizing it now seems rather belated, don’t you think?”
Loong Chen’s smile turned icy as he launched a punch at Blood Emperor.
“I’ll end you!”
Blood Emperor roared, reciprocating with a punch of his own. The clash of fists unleashed a surge of formidable energy into Loong Chen’s body.
The immense force propelled Loong Chen back a dozen paces.
“Divine Might!”
Eventually, Loong Chen unleashed the Divine Might, mitigating the majority of the force before halting.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
“What an immense power! Is this the might of an Emperor Level?”
Loong Chen’s expression shifted slightly. It marked his maiden encounter with an Emperor Level opponent.
Despite the seemingly slender distinction between an Emperor Level and a Peak of King Level, the gap was substantial.
Comparatively, if a Peak of King Level warrior’s physical prowess measured at 50 million, an Emperor Level warrior’s stood at 100 million.
The discrepancy in strength between them doubled.
“Even if my ambush failed, your demise is inevitable!”
Blood Emperor roared, his caution prevailing. Despite his Emperor Level strength, he still intended to rely on subterfuge to confront Loong Chen safely.
Unbeknownst to him, his stratagem was exposed, becoming a tool for Loong Chen to vanquish Dracula.
“Initially, I contemplated granting you a swift demise, but now I’ve reconsidered. You shall be imprisoned within the Blood Wheel Hell, serving as my Blood Race’s eternal blood slave!”
Blood Emperor quivered, a dense, blood-red mist enveloping the surroundings instantaneously.
“Within the confines of the Blood Wheel Hell, I am invulnerable!”
Blood Emperor swiftly transformed into a crimson silhouette, melding into the Blood Qi, and vanished from sight.
Yet, the circumstances left Long Chen with no alternative but to deploy the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
“Hand over your blood to me!”
The Blood Emperor emitted an eerie shriek and charged at Long Chen once more.
Taking a moment to steel himself, Long Chen prepared to activate the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
However, just then, a voice he recognized spoke up from behind him.
“Your blood belongs to me.”
Before Long Chen had the chance to look back, he was confronted by the Blood Emperor’s silhouette, with the Blood Emperor’s blood-stained claws poised to pierce Long Chen’s chest.
Yet, as the crimson talons neared Loong Chen’s heart by merely ten centimeters, the Blood Emperor seemed to suffer an assault, propelling his body backwards until he hit the ground.
In that moment, a figure Loong Chen recognized materialized before him.
“Jiangchen?”
His eyes widened in astonishment, Loong Chen stared at the winged individual before him.
This was Jiangchen, the Zombie King, whom he hadn’t encountered for an extended period.
Loong Chen had envisioned numerous scenarios, but the thought of this individual arriving to rescue him was unforeseen.
“How were you aware of my location?”
Loong Chen inquired, to which Jiangchen responded with his signature serene smile.
“Having consumed your blood, your scent allows me to locate you, no matter how far you flee.”
Finding no words to respond, Loong Chen was astounded that Jiangchen could detect him despite the distance.
“And your purpose for being here?”
Loong Chen questioned further.
“You vowed to provide me with a bowl of your blood weekly. It’s time to uphold that promise.”
After a quick calculation, Loong Chen realized seven days had indeed passed, noting Jiangchen’s precise timing.
Suddenly, a sinister grin crept across his face as his eyes rolled.
“Drinking my blood isn’t the issue; I need your assistance now,” he asserted.
“But you already agreed to drink my blood,” Jiangchen countered.
Loong Chen hadn’t anticipated Jiangchen’s swift rejection.
Nonetheless, Loong Chen had foreseen this, so he nonchalantly remarked, “Refusing to aid me means when the Blood Emperor drains me entirely, there won’t be any blood left.”
Jiangchen’s eyebrows shot up upon hearing this, casting a peculiar glance at Loong Chen, who resorted to leveraging his own life as a bargaining chip.
Despite Jiangchen’s initial resistance, Loong Chen’s threat appeared to wield influence. Jiangchen wouldn’t permit others to taint his blood supply.
