When Caines mentioned the reason for Evelyn's death, it couldn't help but cause Su Yang's heart to ache. If he had been in a state of raging fury just now, then now, his anger was boundless.
For nearly a thousand years, Su Yang had never felt as urgently as he did at this moment, the desire to kill the person in front of him.
"Do you think that just because you've grown larger, you can be arrogant in front of me?"
Su Yang's gaze focused on the three enlarged Princes, and he laughed bitterly in extreme anger: "I will kill all of you first, then personally go to your three clan strongholds, burn them to ashes, and kill all the vampires, including your so-called ancestors."
"Now, let's start with the riffraff."
The moment his words fell, Su Yang vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, it was accompanied by the dying scream of a vampire baron.
His right hand, enveloped in purple true fire, pierced straight through the center of the vampire baron's skull, achieving an instant kill.
After disposing of one, Su Yang didn't linger at all. His figure darted again, and due to his astonishing speed, sixteen afterimages appeared in the air. In terms of speed alone, even the vampires, who were known for their speed, including the powerful Prince-level vampires, were still a step behind.
The three Princes, with their extensive combat experience, realized the danger the moment Su Yang killed the first vampire baron. Although their bodies had enlarged, it didn't affect their movement speed. They all immediately rushed into the crowd of vampires, trying to entangle Su Yang.
Baker was the strongest of the three Princes. At his maximum speed, he created fifteen afterimages, while Hunter and Caines were slightly slower, creating fourteen afterimages, which were just reaching the speed of sound. If this had been during the battle at the Tower of London, it would have been enough to overwhelm Su Yang in his prime.
In the short time it took for the three Princes to charge into the crowd, Su Yang had already killed eight vampire elites and used the "All Methods Return to Origin" technique to completely drain their vampire essence.
Another vampire count had his heart ripped out by Su Yang and turned to ashes. At this moment, Baker finally took advantage of Su Yang's pause, blocking his path. He released his vampire essence, forming a massive blood claw in the air, which fiercely descended upon Su Yang.
"Scram."
Due to the continuous absorption of vampire essence, Su Yang couldn't immediately assimilate it, causing the excess to swirl around him. At this moment, he looked like a blood-soaked figure, and with his overwhelming killing aura, even the vampires couldn't help but tremble in fear.
Without even looking at Baker, Su Yang uttered a single word and raised his hand, pushing out a palm. Using true essence as the source, he instantly ignited a bizarre purple flame on his palm, and a huge purple flame fist mark collided with the massive blood claw.
"Bang."
The two powerful forces clashed, creating a destructive shockwave. A nearby vampire viscount, who was too close, was torn into thousands of pieces without even a chance to scream.
Su Yang had no intention of fighting the three Princes. After delivering a blow, his figure once again reached its maximum speed, and sixteen afterimages darted among the vampire elites, mercilessly killing them without any pause.
Su Yang had a detailed understanding of the vampires' weaknesses from his past. He had to admit that they were an extremely powerful race. Su Yang of the past had not lacked the desire to kill the current three Princes, but he could only severely injure them, not because he didn't want to, but because his strength was not enough.
After more than sixty years, Su Yang had transcended the void and entered the realm of cultivation, his strength far surpassing that of the past. The three dukes of the past had advanced to the rank of Princes, but the gap in strength between them and Su Yang was not too significant. Su Yang was confident he could kill them, but it would not be easy.
Therefore, from the beginning, Su Yang had determined his strategy: to first eliminate all the vampires under the three Princes and then deal with them one by one.
Su Yang's frenzied slaughter finally caused the vampire elites accompanying the three Princes to panic. More than ten vampire elites had already retreated, and even the three Princes' shouts could not alleviate their deep-seated fear of this killing god.
"This guy is too crazy; I don't want to die for nothing."
"I'd rather be judged by the clan elders than be burned to death by the purple fire on his fist."
"The opponent is too strong; with our strength, we are just ants trying to stop a car. It's better to run away shamelessly than to stay and die."
"Even the three Princes can't stop him; why should we stay here to die?"
The entire scene quickly descended into chaos. The vampire elites, including the marquises and counts, all chose to flee.
Su Yang did not target the fleeing vampires individually, but that didn't mean he would let the terrified vampire elites go.
He continuously unleashed "Hundred Steps Divine Fist" from a distance, each punch carrying a bizarre purple flame. Any vampire elite hit, except for the counts who could resist one blow, would die instantly.
The only regret was that Su Yang's cultivation was limited, and in a distance attack, he couldn't use the "All Methods Return to Origin" technique to absorb vampire essence.
Seeing their elites die one by one at Su Yang's hands, the three Princes were enraged. Even the fastest of them, Baker, found it difficult to catch Su Yang, causing the three Princes to roar in anger, but they had no plan to counter him.
Ling Han, who had quietly retreated from the beginning, had already set up a simple array. As the most outstanding genius of the third generation of the Ling family, his combat wisdom was indeed remarkable, and he had seen through Su Yang's intentions from the start.
At this moment, Ling Han finally completed the array. He inserted the "Black Iron Heavy Sword" into the ground, and visible cracks spread out from the point where the sword entered the earth, like the tentacles of an octopus.
In an instant, a two-hundred-meter-wide area of the ground collapsed, and Su Yang was right in the middle.
Ling Han made a hand seal and crushed an ordinary spirit stone, channeling the earth's spiritual energy into the ground cracks. A faint yellow light barrier suddenly rose.
This array was called the "Earth Prohibition Array." It could temporarily restrict the movement of enemies within the array, though the effect was not too significant, it could reduce Su Yang's speed by twenty percent.
If his father, Ling Zhenxian, had set it up, the effect would have been stronger, but Ling Han believed this was enough.
After two consecutive "Hundred Steps Divine Fists," Su Yang killed a fleeing vampire count and sensed the changes around him. He felt his feet suddenly sink, and his movement slowed.
The three Princes, red-eyed with anger, finally took advantage of this precious moment, surrounding Su Yang from three sides, blocking all his escape routes.
"Only fifty-three stinky bats killed."
The corners of Su Yang's mouth twitched, completely unfazed by the three Princes' menacing gaze. Instead, he looked at Ling Han, who was outside the array, his eyes wandering, seemingly plotting something.
"Who are you?"
Although Su Yang did not name him, both Ling Han and the three Princes knew who the killing god was addressing.
Ling Han calmly snapped his fingers: "A dying man, do you really need to know so much?"
Although Su Yang's astonishing combat power had greatly shocked Ling Han, he still did not believe that Su Yang had the strength to fight the three Princes alone.
Even though he knew Su Yang was a cultivator, at the initial Foundation Establishment stage, with cultivation surpassing his own.
"Once the three Princes force him into a corner, I will use the newly acquired magical artifact, the Seven-Star Lamp, to capture him."
Ling Han's plan was clear, and he met Su Yang's gaze with a proud smile.
In terms of arrogance and audacity, Su Yang had never feared anyone. Hearing this, he laughed coldly and said, "You have already lost your only chance to keep your body intact."
"Such arrogance. Trapped in my array and surrounded by the three Princes, this is not just arrogance but sheer ignorance." Ling Han sneered, unmoved.
"The three Princes are nothing!"
Su Yang's gaze swept over Baker, Hunter, and Caines, who were now the most powerful beings in the vampire race, except for the ancestors. Each of them had the strength of an initial Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The combined pressure from the three Princes was enough to make a determined elite special forces soldier lose his courage instantly, but to Su Yang's divine sense, it was nothing.
Enraged by Su Yang's words, Caines was the first to burst forth. His three-meter-tall massive body charged out with lightning speed, the terrifying force tearing the air around him, creating a deafening sound.
Such a powerful impact, if it hit, would shatter even the most secure bank vault door into powder.
Even Su Yang could not match this level of pure strength.
Throughout the entire time, Su Yang's gaze never left Ling Han, as if the encirclement by the three Princes did not exist.
"In terms of strength and size, the three of you are not even worthy to carry my Black Diamond's shoes."
With that, Su Yang's right arm suddenly vibrated, and a black light shot out from his sleeve, expanding in the wind. In an instant, it transformed into a terrifying beast over thirty meters long.
"Black Diamond, these three stinky bats are yours. I'll deal with that reckless brat and then come to help you."
Black Diamond, who had not shown his true form for a long time, was very excited. As he responded to his leader, he habitually swung his massive tail, sending Caines flying over ten meters away.
It was too naive. In terms of strength, even the three enlarged Princes, or even the vampire ancestor Cain himself, could not match the massive demonic beast, Black Diamond.
