After spending a night in the ancient castle, Su Yang met all of Bandero's descendants, casually giving away over ten precious ornaments from the basement.
Although most of Bandero's descendants were very wealthy, how often had they seen treasures that could make even royal members' eyes sparkle? A few women dressed as noblewomen even screamed in excitement.
As for those who held significant influence in the family, although they did not understand why the old ancestor called this young Oriental man "master," Bandero had absolute authority in the family. His words were the truth, the absolute command, and the younger generations naturally obeyed unconditionally, all addressing Su Yang as "master."
However, they were not foolish. From the old ancestor's reverent gaze towards Su Yang, they gradually began to believe that he might indeed be the castle's master, whom the old ancestor often mentioned.
After nightfall, Su Yang sat cross-legged in his room, holding a high-quality spirit stone that emitted a faint green light, and began to cultivate.
Indeed, high-quality spirit stones were remarkable. By absorbing the spiritual energy contained within, the rate of progress was more than ten times faster than in the most concentrated areas of the Spirit Realm.
In just one night, Su Yang could clearly feel an increase in the true essence energy in his dantian. Don't underestimate this increase; if he had no spirit stones or only ordinary ones, it would take at least ten to fifteen days to achieve such progress.
Of course, at least half of the reason for this rapid progress could be attributed to the extraordinary cultivation technique, *Nine Transformations of the Azure Sky*. If cultivation techniques were ranked, the *Nine Transformations of the Azure Sky* was at least a hundred times more advanced than the techniques of the Four Extremes Holy Sect during the Foundation Establishment stage.
As the eastern sky began to lighten, Su Yang put away the spirit stone, got up, and quietly left the castle, heading straight for a suburban estate provided by Diana.
This was the address Su Yang had asked Diana for last night. According to the intelligence of the British royal family, the owner of this estate was the second-in-command of the Brook clan, the vampire marquis Kraft.
Kraft's position in the Brook clan was second only to the clan leader, Bak. Even the highly self-important Howard was wary of him, as he was an old-generation vampire with the blood of the progenitor, possessing many racial abilities that ordinary vampires could not master.
The estate was located in a remote area outside London, covering a vast area. Whether it was due to natural conditions or some special means used by Kraft, the estate was shrouded in a perpetual mist, even at noon when the sun was at its strongest, unable to penetrate this mist.
Although it was broad daylight with the sun high in the sky, the vampires in Kraft's estate could completely ignore this.
As soon as Su Yang appeared in the estate, he was immediately spotted by two vampires strolling around. For humans who dared to intrude here, they always killed without mercy, and whoever encountered them became their meal.
Surrounded by a male and a female vampire, Su Yang lazily said, "Are you planning to drink my blood?"
"What a bold human!"
"Jason, this one is mine. I haven't tasted fresh human blood for days," the female vampire, dressed as a noblewoman, showed her fangs excitedly.
"Lux, I found this prey first. If you want fresh blood, go hunting at night," Jason, who had already advanced to the rank of baron, released the unique vampire pressure, stepping forward.
Vampires were a highly hierarchical race, and vampire pressure was the best way to reinforce this hierarchy. Even though Lux was also a vampire, her strength was inferior to Jason's, and the mere pressure from him made her lose the will to resist.
If a vampire count had released the pressure, Lux would have lost control and been completely dominated.
Taking a timid step back, Lux glared at Jason and made one last attempt, "Lord Jason, please give me this prey. At most, I'll serve you in your room tonight."
"Do I need you to serve me in bed?" Jason coldly snorted, his gaze shifting to Su Yang. He sniffed the air and licked his lips excitedly, "If you obediently follow me back to my room and let me enjoy you, I might be in a good mood and grant you a first embrace, giving you the chance to become an immortal vampire. Or I could drain you dry right now. It depends on your attitude."
Su Yang remained silent throughout, his gaze scanning the two vampires with interest, finally settling on Jason, "Are you talking to me?"
"Of course, is there another lowly human here?"
Jason was puzzled by the young Oriental man's calmness. For centuries, any human who mistakenly entered the estate and was spotted by the clan members would be terrified, with some even dying from fear on the spot.
"I gave you two choices, but I can only give you one," Su Yang said calmly, "This choice is—annihilation."
Almost the moment Su Yang spoke, Jason pounced. As a vampire baron, his speed and strength were over ten times that of a normal human. In less than five meters, he was about to grab Su Yang.
Su Yang coldly snorted, and a protective aura emerged around him. This aura, powered by true essence energy, had transcended the realm of martial arts, with defense far stronger than before. Jason's attack stopped a foot away from Su Yang, the visible aura acting like a wall, making his fingers and palm numb. The massive counterforce sent him flying ten meters away.
However, he didn't fly that far because, at the moment he was thrown back, Su Yang made his move.
A quick thrust and a quick retraction, a motion that ordinary people couldn't even see. They only noticed that something had appeared in Su Yang's palm.
It was a fist-sized red heart, not beating, but the blood energy surrounding it proved it had just been extracted.
"Bang"
With a slight effort from Su Yang's fingers, the heart turned to powder. Vampires, known for their immortality, would die if their hearts were destroyed, even a progenitor like Caine. How much more so for a mere baron.
Jason's scream abruptly stopped, his body turning to ashes in a burst of blood.
At this, Su Yang muttered to himself, "I can instantly kill a vampire baron. It seems I'm much stronger than in my previous life. Cultivators are indeed powerful!"
This scene terrified Lux, her shrill scream echoing throughout the estate.
Su Yang did not stop her, instead, he stood with his arms crossed, smiling evilly. Having such a scream-inducing "helper" was not bad, saving him the trouble of hunting them one by one.
In no time, hundreds of figures appeared from all directions, with at least dozens of vampires moving so fast that they left afterimages. Clearly, the vampire forces gathered here were formidable.
"This is a clan extermination, so none can be spared."
Su Yang stood still, his divine sense spreading out like an octopus. In a few breaths, he had locked onto all the vampires in the estate, whether they were visible or hidden. As long as they didn't run more than a hundred miles away, Su Yang could pinpoint their locations as clearly as if he were seeing them with his own eyes.
"It's been a long time since I've had a good slaughter."
Three vampires roared and charged at Su Yang, but he merely sighed, decapitating two and extracting the heart of the third. The speed of his actions was incomprehensible.
Su Yang had long known the weaknesses of vampires from his previous life. Decapitation and heart destruction were the simplest and most brutal ways to kill them.
Of course, very few people could do this. Even the elite knights under the command of Arthur in the British royal family found it difficult to kill vampires this way. They mostly used holy light to destroy the vampires' blood energy, leading to their deaths.
"Forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight"
At first, more and more vampires charged at Su Yang, but after five minutes, it turned into a one-sided slaughter. No one was foolish enough to charge to their death.
A person who could casually kill vampire barons was a terrifying threat to all vampires, including the estate's owner, Marquis Kraft.
Ten minutes later, the vast estate was eerily silent. Over a hundred vampires had died at Su Yang's hands, but none of them were stronger than a baron.
Su Yang frowned, his divine sense guiding him, and his body vanished as if by teleportation.
Fifty miles away, Kraft and three powerful vampire counts were fleeing for their lives. With the marquis's racial acceleration, the four figures moved like rockets.
They had to escape; such an enemy was beyond their ability to resist.
"Boom"
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky, landing heavily and creating a half-meter deep crater, with cracks extending over ten meters, blocking Kraft and his companions' path.
In an instant, Kraft and his companions, who had been fleeing at top speed, stopped. They didn't try to run around because the moment the figure landed, they all felt a sense of impending doom. If they didn't stop, they would die immediately.
Finally, Kraft saw the enemy who had slaughtered over a hundred of his vampire offspring in less than ten minutes.
"How can it be you, Chinese Yang? Impossible!"
"This is impossible, no one can be that powerful!"
Kraft had participated in the battle at the Tower of London and had seen Su Yang's formidable strength back then.
But even so, he could not associate the terrifying being before him, capable of killing vampire barons, with Su Yang. The difference in strength was too vast.
