Chapter 14

The sound of footsteps stopped in front of the door to Yin Xuege's cell. Over a dozen guards, each over two meters tall and clad in full-body fortress-like heavy armor, escorted Laitining to the door of Yin Xuege's cell. A short, withered, and sinister-looking jailer, holding a long chain of keys that shimmered with light, cautiously approached the door, and chuckled a few times at Yin Xuege behind the air vent.

"Soft-skinned little guy, step back a bit!" The jailer waved at Yin Xuege. "I won't underestimate you soft-skinned little brats! You're all beasts that eat people without spitting out the bones, I know that!"

Laitining glared at the jailer in dissatisfaction, glanced at Yin Xuege behind the air vent, and loudly scolded.

"Don't waste time! It's just a young vampire, how much power can he have? Don't keep the lords waiting, open the cell door!"

The hurried jailer made a face, lowered his head, and selected a key from the long chain. He inserted the key into the lock on the cell door and muttered as he drew a series of strange characters on the door with his finger.

A blinding light emanated from the cell door, and Yin Xuege took a cautious step back. Thousands of fist-sized golden characters surged from the door, each one like molten gold, radiating a suffocating pressure and an extremely sacred aura.

This sacred aura made Yin Xuege uneasy. The blood imp blood in his heart rapidly swirled, causing his heart to beat violently. Waves of blood surged to his limbs, and his vision turned red. This aura seemed to be the natural enemy of the blood imp, stirring a destructive desire in Yin Xuege to utterly destroy these golden characters.

A twelve-star wheel-shaped magic array appeared on the cell door, and the overwhelming sacred aura hit Yin Xuege like a hammer, sending him flying backward. The heavy cell door slowly opened, and the jailer, like a frightened rat, quickly retreated. Laitining, unconcerned, led four guards and strode into the cell.

"Little guy, this is your honor! The supreme grand justices of the Great Berlin city-state want to see you in person!" Laitining's smile was full of malice as he looked down at Yin Xuege, who had been knocked to the ground by the aura. He raised his head arrogantly. "You should know, the lords are incomparably noble beings. Getting an audience with them is the greatest honor of your life!"

Yin Xuege lay on the ground, lifting his head to look at the arrogant Laitining.

"I don't feel honored! You're called Laitining? Why did you use lightning to hurt me just now?"

"Uh?" Laitining and his guards were clearly stunned for a moment. After a while, Laitining and his men burst into laughter. Laitining, laughing uncontrollably, squatted down and slapped Yin Xuege's thin, delicate, and seemingly harmless body.

"Little guy, do I need a reason to use lightning to punish you? Of course, it was Wumu who caused the trouble, but I didn't like the look of you! You're a lowly vampire, so I punished you on the spot. Do I need a reason?"

Yin Xuege gathered strength in his hands, his eyes cold as he glared at Laitining, and gritted his teeth.

"You don't need a reason to use lightning to hurt me?"

Laitining reached out and grabbed Yin Xuege's ear, just as Blaire had done at Captain Jack's tavern. He pulled Yin Xuege's head and slammed it into the ground.

"Of course not! Lowly creature! For someone as dirty and despicable as you, it's a great favor for Master Laitining to waste his power on you! You should be grateful, damn it! You should kneel before me and lick the soles of my boots, because I didn't kill you, that's your luck, that's my mercy!"

Yin Xuege's forehead repeatedly hit the ground, his head spinning. His mind was filled with the repeated lessons from the many deacons of the Yin Clan's Young Master Hall—eye for eye, blood for blood!

A drop of green essence blood in his heart suddenly dimmed, and inch-long sharp blood light shot from his ten fingers. Ignoring his ear being tightly held by Laitining, his body twisted like a python, and his hands grabbed Laitining's head, his fingers deeply sinking into his neck.

The Blood Claw could easily tear through a bronze paperweight, let alone Laitining's flesh and blood.

Laitining controlled the immense power of lightning, but his body was even weaker than an ordinary person's. He shouldn't have gotten so close to Yin Xuege, especially not after exhausting all his lightning power.

To punish Wumu, Laitining had drained the last bit of lightning power from his body. Now, with his head grabbed by Yin Xuege, his fingers sinking into his neck, Laitining felt his heart constrict, and overwhelming fear descended upon him. He opened his mouth wide and let out a scream that was not human.

Blood splattered as Yin Xuege's fingers tore through Laitining's neck and pulled down, ripping open his chest. The blood imp's innate ability activated, and Yin Xuege opened his mouth and inhaled deeply. A stream of dark red essence blood from Laitining's heart shot into Yin Xuege's mouth.

When Yin Xuege suddenly twisted, his ear was torn open by Laitining. But after swallowing Laitining's heart essence blood, a warm current surged through his body, and the inch-long tear in his ear healed instantly.

The heavily armored guards who had escorted Laitining into the cell shouted in anger. They reached behind their backs to grip the handles of their one-meter-eight-long heavy cleaver swords. However, the cell was only three meters high, and the guards were over two meters tall. When they tried to draw their swords, their fists hit the ceiling, and the swords couldn't be pulled out!

The emaciated jailer outside the cell screamed hysterically, "You fools, muscle-bound and brainless fools! Retreat from the cell, don't fight inside! Your equipment is for suppressing these damned prisoners outside the cell, not for fighting them in the cramped cell!"

The jailer was also terrified. Laitining, covered in blood, lay on the ground, his head twisted 180 degrees, his white eyes staring at the jailer.

So he stumbled backward, completely ignoring the cell door ten meters behind him, where a green eye the size of a baby's fist was rapidly moving, staring fiercely at his withered body.

The jailer kept retreating until his back hit Wumu's cell door.

"Emaciated rat in the gutter, I've been waiting for this day for many years!" Wumu laughed cruelly, and a thick arm, defying logic, shot out of the small air vent, grabbing the jailer in a flash.

The poor jailer let out a sharp scream as he was pulled into the air vent. His bones cracked like fireworks as his body was forced through the small opening. With a blood-curdling scream, the sound of Wumu devouring the jailer echoed from inside the cell.

The heavily armored guards, who had been caught off guard by Yin Xuege's sudden attack, turned around in shock. They were stunned by Wumu's ambush. How did the jailer, though withered and small, get pulled through the half-meter-square air vent?

In that moment of distraction, Yin Xuege's figure suddenly blurred. The three drops of green essence blood in his heart dimmed, and his body turned into a faint blood shadow, lunging forward. He vanished and reappeared among the guards outside the cell, his hands glowing with blood light. The Blood Claw slashed in arcs, raining down on the guards.

These guards, though towering and clad in fortress-like heavy armor, were incredibly powerful and reacted with lightning speed. As Yin Xuege's Blood Claw swung down, the guards scattered like fireworks. Only the guard directly in front of Yin Xuege pulled out a heavy shield from his back and charged forward.

The Blood Claw struck the thick, half-meter metal shield covered in unknown demon beast scales. A piercing sound filled the air as Yin Xuege's fingers sank deep into the shield, and ten points of blood light pierced through to the other side.

But Yin Xuege's fingers were trapped by the shield. The guard holding the shield twisted it without a word, and Yin Xuege's fingers couldn't be pulled out. His strength was no match for the guard, and he felt a powerful force wrenching his arm, forcing his body to twist with the shield.

The other guards, who had retreated, simultaneously charged at Yin Xuege, pulling out their heavy shields. They collided with him from three directions like a metal wall. Before Yin Xuege could free himself from the shield in front of him, the three shields hit his body, the heavy impact causing his bones to crack, and at least half of them fractured.

With a clanging sound, the guards retreated from the cell. The tunnel ceiling was much higher than the cell, and they smoothly drew their heavy cleaver swords, placing them at Yin Xuege's neck.
