Chapter 15

The mocking laughter of the silver wolf leader echoed from the ebony prison cell.

"Ha, Lord Ebony, I've never seen a bat who would dare to fight humans head-on! Stupid kid, you should have targeted their exposed bodies and fled immediately after your attack! Their speed is absolutely no match for yours! You managed to escape from the prison, so why did you still choose to fight them head-on?"

Yan Xuege couldn't speak; his body was undergoing a miraculous transformation.

Just now, he had sucked all the essence blood from Lightning's heart, and Yan Xuege never dreamed that Lightning's essence blood would contain such powerful and mysterious energy! Although it was only a few insignificant sips, Lightning's blood contained an indescribable and wondrous vitality, immense potential, and a noble aura that transcended life and death.

The quality of this essence blood was far superior to the blood essence already formed in Yan Xuege's heart. His body greedily devoured the power within this essence blood, and his physical strength quickly increased by more than fifty percent. The remaining half of the essence blood was absorbed by Yan Xuege's heart, which beat violently. The viscosity of his blood suddenly doubled, and with each rapid heartbeat, drop after drop of green blood essence continuously condensed.

One drop, two drops, three drops—each drop of blood essence released a powerful blood qi to nourish Yan Xuege's entire body.

His physical strength continued to increase, and his thin, almost skeletal body gradually became more robust. A thin layer of muscle began to form under his pale skin, giving him the appearance of a healthy young man.

When all of Lightning's essence blood was absorbed by Yan Xuege's heart, his heart was already filled with a hundred drops of green essence blood. These drops of essence blood coalesced into a large blood bead, pulsing with his heart. Green particles continuously circulated through his body, and Yan Xuege could feel his strength increase by at least two times.

Just one step away, and he could further refine this essence blood, surpass the level of a Star Warrior, and achieve the strength of a Moon Warrior!

In the Blood Demon clan, a Moon Warrior is already considered a fully grown warrior, with the right to hunt and form a family!

The power emanating from behind the four shields was no longer unbearable. With a slight effort, Yan Xuege felt he now had the strength to fight against these heavily armored guards. Combined with the blood techniques he had mastered, Blood Claw and Blood Shadow, he believed he had a good chance of eliminating these guards.

The chewing sound in the ebony prison cell stopped, and Ebony's large eyes peered through the air vent, his tone complex.

"This kid, truly worthy of being that freak's son! I'm curious, what kind of man could make that woman bear a child for him? However, this is the Blood Prison, kid. You'll be skinned soon, won't you?"

A guard holding a large sword to Yan Xuege's neck roared, "Bastard, you killed Lord Lightning! Do you know what you've done?"

Taking a deep breath, Yan Xuege prepared for a decisive strike and smiled at the guard, "I don't know. Can you tell me?"

As he spoke, Yan Xuege's body suddenly transformed into a thin blood shadow and lunged forward, breaking free from the encirclement of the four shields. The four guards, who were pushing Yan Xuege with their shields, collided in a heap, one of them even grazing his face on the edge of a saber, slicing off his entire nose.

The blood shadow flickered, and Yan Xuege reappeared several meters away. He silently moved forward, leaving several afterimages, and rushed behind one of the guards. His right hand, with five fingers trailing blood marks, used Blood Claw to tear into the gap between the guard's heavy armor and his thigh. Blood spurted from the guard's thigh, and Yan Xuege's claw had severed the femoral artery.

The guard screamed in agony, dropping his saber and clutching his wound with both hands.

Yan Xuege moved like a ghost, weaving through the heavily armored guards, just as Ebony had said. He no longer fought them head-on but continuously targeted their weak points, leaving trails of blood on their bodies.

Although these guards were powerful and quick, their speed was no match for Yan Xuege. Especially since they were over two meters tall, while Yan Xuege was much shorter. Unless they bent over at a sixty-degree angle, they couldn't effectively attack him!

This was a battle between a nimble monkey and an elephant. The heavily armored guards were thoroughly beaten, and within a few breaths, they all lay bleeding on the ground.

As the last guard fell, Ebony in the prison cell was already shouting excitedly, his large dog nose poking through the air vent. "Kid, pick up the key outside and open my cell! I can help you break out! With your strength, it's impossible to escape this Blood Prison, but I can, I can!"

"I am the great Silver Wolf Leader, Lord Ebony, the one who makes all human city-states tremble! Let me out, and I can take you with me!"

Ebony's shouting alarmed the Blood Prison guards, and the sound of heavy footsteps echoed from the tunnel's end, indicating that many guards were approaching. Yan Xuege glared at Ebony in anger and shouted, "Big dog, shut up! I only have the key, not the corresponding incantation or hand seal. I can't possibly release you!"

Yan Xuege spoke the truth, but Ebony was stunned for a moment before letting out a sharp, angry howl.

"Damn it, you useless fools! I'm reporting, there's a little bat trying to escape here! Ha, if I can't escape, neither can you! Of course, this is the lowest level of the Blood Prison, so you can't escape either, dear Yan Clan child!"

Yan Xuege was so angry that his scalp tingled. He released a faint blood glow from both hands and lunged at Ebony's nose protruding from the air vent.

Ebony reacted quickly, pulling back his nose and laughing loudly in the cell.

But joy often turns to sorrow, especially for someone like Ebony. He had only laughed a few times when the metal sphere on his cell door suddenly emitted blinding electric light, and his entire cell was enveloped in thick lightning. The dense thunder roared, and terrifying bolts of lightning struck Ebony's body, far more powerful than the lightning released by Lightning. In just a few strikes, the lightning reduced Ebony to a charred, unconscious heap.

Before Yan Xuege could react, an old man with white hair appeared in front of him, wearing a red velvet robe and holding a strange staff wrapped in lightning. A layer of watery lightning surrounded his body.

"Child of darkness, you have committed too many sins! You will surely regret your actions today!"
