Chapter 39

"So you want to kidnap me and use me to threaten my mother?" Yin Xuege looked at the three elders with a mocking gaze. "You are Millennium Dukes! Don't you feel ashamed? You actually gang up to bully a mere child like me!"

The eyes of the three elders suddenly turned deep red, and they all shouted fiercely, "Who said you are a mere child? Cunning fellow, do you think we are so easily deceived? Your strength is almost at the level of a Count! And you are a Daywalker!"

"Who betrayed me!" Yin Xuege suddenly changed the subject, shouting fiercely, "Yin Jiwen?"

No one spoke. The three elders looked at Yin Xuege with flickering eyes. They did not answer the question, but from their silence and their flickering gazes, Yin Xuege had already gotten the answer he wanted! He shook his head lightly and sighed in confusion, "How did they bypass my blood oath? Are they still alive?"

"We've wasted too much time, we need to take you away!" The elder who was gripping Yin Xuege's throat sighed. "You damn brat, I think we shouldn't be talking to you! Now, come with us obediently, or we won't mind making you suffer before you see your mother."

Another elder grinned maliciously, "Trust us, when it comes to making a blood demon feel the most terrible pain, we are experts! A long, long time ago, in the Bryanburg family, the three of us were responsible for the family's punishments!"

With a gentle flutter of their massive bat wings, the three elders simultaneously leaped into the air, carrying Yin Xuege away.

At that very moment, eight Marquises of the Yin clan simultaneously unfurled their life-bound bat wings. They let out sharp cries, and seven of the Marquises channeled all their blood demon powers into a surging blood wave, which poured into the last Marquise.

A low, rumbling sound came from within this Marquise's body, and his bat wings, which were originally nearly ten meters in span, suddenly expanded to about fifteen meters in the blink of an eye! In that instant, with the combined power of the other seven Marquises, he forcibly elevated his strength to the level of a Duke.

"Face the wrath of the Yin clan! With my blood, I disrupt the heavens and the earth. The boundless heavens and the blood sea, the crimson sky cave and the clear spirit blood lightning!" The Marquise of the Yin clan shrieked, biting his tongue to spray a blood arrow, then his hands moved in a flurry, drawing a blood-colored talisman with faint lightning in the air!

The Yin clan came from the Eastern cultivation world. Although they had transformed themselves into blood demons, they had not abandoned the cultivation techniques of the Yin clan! Moreover, over the long years, they had combined the various powerful spells from cultivation techniques with blood demon secrets, creating a unique blood magic system exclusive to the Yin clan!

Heavenly thunder is extremely lethal to all blood demons, and the blood demon race has never produced a freak capable of controlling lightning. However, the members of the Yin clan, using strange incantations and talismans, could summon unique blood lightning to attack their enemies!

As the Marquise's incantation sounded, a low rumble of thunder came from the sky.

A blood-colored cloud vortex a hundred meters in diameter appeared out of nowhere. Without waiting for the three Millennium Dukes of the Bryanburg family to dodge, three arm-thick blood lightning bolts streaked down from the sky, striking the three Millennium Dukes directly.

The lightning was like a living thing, focusing all its power on the three Dukes without any stray effects harming Yin Xuege. Amidst the violent thunderclaps, the three Bryanburg Dukes screamed in rage, falling from the sky, scorched and disfigured.

A bloody sword light streaked up, a three-meter-long blood light fiercely slicing through one of the Dukes' bodies.

In that split second, Yin Xuege pulled out the Blood Spirit Sword and, with all his might, slashed across the chest of the Millennium Duke who was holding him. The Blood Spirit Sword, a fierce and deadly weapon nurtured by Yin Tianjue for hundreds of years, let out a sharp cry, slicing open the old Duke's chest.

A piercing scream came from the old Duke's mouth as the Blood Spirit Sword cut him in half at the heart.

The two halves of the old Duke's body spewed out large amounts of thick blood, which intertwined like countless tentacles, trying to rejoin his body. With the abnormal vitality and powerful demon power of a Millennium Duke, this injury was not enough to kill him; he could recover in a few breaths if his body parts were reassembled!

But Yin Xuege did not give him the chance. The bloody sword light rose again, and Yin Xuege ruthlessly severed the old Duke's two arms and legs, cutting off any possibility of retaliation. At the same time, his life-bound bat wings unfurled, the 'Li' demon script glowing, making his bat wings several times sharper than ordinary weapons. Yin Xuege's body spun, and his bat wings viciously cut through the old Duke's throat, forcing back the unfinished incantation.

Opening his mouth, Yin Xuege's two canine teeth extended more than an inch. He grabbed the heavily injured old Duke, his teeth sinking deep into the Duke's heart. At the same time, the Blood Spirit Sword pierced the old Duke's body wildly, blood splattering everywhere, the Duke screaming in agony as the sword pierced his heart, voraciously devouring his life essence!

Yin Xuege's life-bound bat wings suddenly stretched out straight, their span rapidly increasing, and the light pink, translucent bat wings became increasingly deep in color, as if filled with countless blood plasmas, making them look even more substantial and majestic.

A large amount of Duke's life essence was continuously devoured by Yin Xuege. Although the quality of this Duke's life essence was inferior to the twenty drops of life essence from the Faenbourg, the quantity was much greater, and it was quickly digested by Yin Xuege!

The span of his life-bound bat wings grew larger and larger, and gradually, a fierce wind and blood flames began to whirl around Yin Xuege's body. The aura emanating from Yin Xuege grew stronger and stronger, and the light in his eyes gradually turned dark silver, with a faint hint of fresh red.

Under his pale skin, well-formed muscles were gradually growing and writhing. Yin Xuege successfully broke through to become a powerful blood demon Count. His bones and muscles let out low, rumbling sounds, and his height increased by about an inch.

At this point, although Yin Xuege was still only eleven years old, he looked like a teenager of thirteen or fourteen.

The eight Marquises of the Yin clan watched in shock—Yin Xuege had actually severely injured a Millennium Duke? He was actually devouring a Millennium Duke's life essence? Oh, that's the life essence of a Millennium Duke. If this boy could devour all of it, he could at least advance to the rank of Marquise!

An eleven-year-old Marquise? The world is too crazy!

A sharp whistle sounded, and the two Dukes who had been struck by the lightning, now scorched and disfigured, suddenly attacked, lunging at Yin Xuege with madness!
