Chapter 70

Chapter 13: Golden Light

"Secrets of my body?" Ye Qi, shocked in his heart, asked calmly, "What secrets?"

"Your bloodline!" Perhaps because it had obtained another statue, the strange wolf exceptionally gave Ye Qi some sweet rewards; of course, these rewards could also be seen as bait to entice Ye Qi to be more determined to complete this transaction. The lazy voice of the strange wolf echoed in Ye Qi's mind: "Don't you want to know why you are stronger and faster than others? Why you can use some unique abilities? And I can help you activate your bloodline, allowing you to develop your power faster!"

Huh?

Ye Qi was momentarily stunned, but quickly reacted—under the protection of the system, the strange wolf couldn't have signed a soul contract with him at the time, so it was absolutely impossible for it to probe his thoughts and know his deepest secrets!

"Bloodline?" Ye Qi raised an eyebrow, slightly impatient, and curled his lips. He knew very well that his current power came from the system. Even if the displayed power came from his bloodline, this bloodline was also granted by the system! Therefore, to enhance his power, he just needed to follow the rules set by the system step by step.

As for rapid activation? It seemed beautiful, but it might have side effects. Moreover, with the operator being a demon, even if the other party could do it, Ye Qi wouldn't cooperate. Even if the other party signed a similar companion contract with him. Therefore, Ye Qi straightforwardly refused: "Not interested!"

"Do you know what your bloodline is...?" The strange wolf, as usual, clearly didn't want to give up and was preparing to continue persuading Ye Qi. However, Ye Qi, who had no interest, directly interrupted: "A dragon? I know!"

"How do you know? Do you have ancestral memories?" The strange wolf asked in surprise, but quickly negated its guess: "Impossible! If you had ancestral memories, why would your bloodline be so weak? What's going on..."

So, you finally have something you don't know?

Listening to the strange wolf's muttering, Ye Qi couldn't help but curl his lips. He had always envied and been impatient with the strange wolf's extensive knowledge and chatter. Now that the other party finally had something it didn't know, Ye Qi wouldn't miss this chance to mock it. After conveying his thoughts to the other party, Ye Qi ignored the strange wolf's angry roar and turned his gaze back to the hall—the six long swords of the six-armed snake demon were shimmering with dark silver magical light, combining with mental control and the six swords dancing like a storm, forcing the new initiates to scramble.

The six-armed snake demon's six swords moved in unison, and with each swipe, a new initiate would be injured and fall to the ground. In just a few rounds, five new initiates were already injured and on the ground. If not for the training the initiates had undergone in the Arena Tower, their proper cooperation, and Jacob's timely rescue, there would already be five corpses. Even so, if the six-armed snake demon continued to attack recklessly, it wouldn't be long before all the new initiates were on the ground.

Still not going to act? What are you waiting for?

Ye Qi's gaze turned to the cold-faced man who had been standing still—based on the five senses control type illusions, they had little effect on the six-armed snake demon, so he had been providing cover and support from the periphery. But with the strange wolf's reminder, Ye Qi knew that the other party must have the ability to fight the six-armed snake demon alone. Although he couldn't fully trust the strange wolf's words, the hints given during the transaction were always true, even if they contained some misleading elements, they were based on facts!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A series of gunshots rang out as Jacob quickly moved around the side of the six-armed snake demon, alternating between the black ebony and white ivory guns to suppress the six-armed snake demon. As a Moonlight-level initiate and the commander of this operation, Jacob was well aware of the gap in strength between the two sides, knowing that even a slight mistake could lead to irreparable losses. Although he could escape, the surrounding new initiates would suffer heavy casualties. Despite knowing that such an outcome was inevitable, Jacob wanted to try...

Jacob dodged another attack from the snake demon's tail, and white light immediately gathered at the muzzles of the black and white guns, illuminating the entire hall in a few moments.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion, a white shockwave rushed towards the six-armed snake demon, which was just a few steps away. The hall trembled, and white light enveloped the entire hall, blinding everyone.

"Did we win?"

One of the new initiates asked in a low voice. No one answered—blinded by the white light, they couldn't see the scene clearly. They couldn't see, but Ye Qi could see clearly: the upper half of the six-armed snake demon's body was blown off, and it had lost three arms. Blood flowed everywhere, but thanks to the demon's tenacious life, it didn't die. Instead, it was preparing to summon the Tanari—a race of demons with the largest numbers and the most varieties; this was the last resort for demons in life-and-death situations!

"Yama Slash!"

Unable to wait for the cold-faced man to act, Ye Qi accelerated and rushed to the other party's side. The Yama blade flashed out of its sheath, and a blue-purple crescent moon blade light suddenly bloomed. However, it was a bit late, as some Tanari had already responded to the summoning. In the white light, ten Lesser Demons and two War Demons appeared in the hall. In the incomprehensible Abyssal language, the two War Demons directed the ten Lesser Demons to attack the nearest enemies, while they themselves charged towards the new initiates at a speed faster than the Lesser Demons.

The Lesser Demons, small with a mouth full of fine teeth, and the War Demons, tall and strong with two human arms, were both extremely ugly demons. However, facing these demons, whose numbers and ugliness were several times greater, the new initiates breathed a sigh of relief. At least, as long as they cooperated well, they could avoid casualties. If a Soul Judge, a Succubus, or another six-armed snake demon had come, they would have faced inevitable casualties again.

"Chant!"

A light flute melody sounded just as the two sides were about to engage. A golden light sword appeared in the cold-faced man's hand, and a pair of white feather wings appeared as a shadow behind him.

"Saint Light Strike!"

The cold, emotionless voice of the cold-faced man spoke, and a golden wheel of light shot out from the light sword, spreading out from the center of the sword and instantly filling the entire hall.

In the golden light, the Lesser Demons and War Demons seemed to be doused in concentrated sulfuric acid, their bodies smoking and quickly disappearing...

...

"Damn sand! Nothing but sand!" John looked at his phone, which still had no signal, and spat on the ground: "Didn't they say it could connect anywhere? Damn scammers! Bastards! I'll definitely settle this with them when I get back!"

In the barren forest area, amidst the yellow sand, John, fiddling with his phone, walked back with a light step. Behind him, a black castle with a triangular flag of a venomous snake gradually crumbled and disintegrated...
