Chapter 2591 - 2590: Encounter with the Extraterritorial Blood Clan!
Chapter 2591: Chapter 2590: Encounter with the Extraterritorial Blood Clan!
Lin Dong stepped through the ancient and heavy stone door, each step seemingly treading on the dust of ages.
After entering the interior of the building, the air was filled with an indescribable sense of oppression and unease.
A powerful sixth sense made Lin Dong aware of the hidden danger around him.
"The place where Ye Wuheng lived during his lifetime is actually so bizarre," Lin Dong thought to himself with a rising sense of caution.
He firmly gripped the long sword in his hand, the tip trembling slightly, as if the Yangxin Sword also sensed something.
As he delved deeper into the mansion, the surrounding light gradually dimmed, with only the faint blue glow of the fluorescent stones embedded in the walls adding a touch of eeriness to the dim corridor.
Lin Dong’s blood, surprisingly, began to flow a little faster involuntarily.
He could feel a looming crisis approaching, a warning from the depths of his bloodline, compelling him to heighten his vigilance to the maximum.
As he carefully navigated past statues, trying to find the path leading deeper inside, a cold breath suddenly surged in the air, as if some huge entity was waking up in the dark.
Lin Dong suddenly turned around, his gaze sharp as a sword, but he saw nothing but darkness, with only the faint blue light flickering, reflecting his determined face.
Just then, an unusual stillness suddenly enveloped the entire space, as if even the wind had stopped flowing.
Alarm bells rang in Lin Dong’s mind; he knew this was often the calm before the storm.
He quickly adjusted his breathing, elevating his spiritual power throughout his body to the highest level, readying himself for the impending attack.
In Lin Dong’s senses, an almost imperceptible wave quietly spread through the darkness.
"Hoo~~~~"
Suddenly, he sensed a strong unease behind him.
He quickly turned around, but saw only darkness, as if all light was devoured by this shadow.
"Oh no!" Lin Dong thought secretly but had no time for further reaction.
He just saw a crimson shadow cutting through the air at a speed the naked eye could scarcely capture, straight at his vital points.
The attack was incredibly frightful, not weaker than a fatal strike by a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.
In almost an instant, Lin Dong unleashed the ’Heavenly Boundary Dragon Blood Holy Body,’ while dodging the deadly ambush at the fastest speed.
"Pooh~~~"
But even so, he was caught by the claw that attacked from the shadows.
On the Heavenly Boundary Dragon Blood Holy Body appeared a blood-red claw mark, deep enough to reach the bone.
Thankfully, Lin Dong dodged the vital area just now!
Otherwise, if this ambush had struck his vital Dantian position, his Dantian would be ruined by now.
"Who are you?" Lin Dong steadied himself, looking towards the ’person’ who attacked him.
His gaze fixed ahead, and he saw in the darkness an ancient and powerful presence slowly emerging.
Its pressure was enough to change the colors of the heavens and earth.
It was not human!
To be precise, it was neither purely beast-shaped nor entirely human-shaped, but a strange fusion between the two.
At the moment, it stood midair, its figure slender and graceful, face handsome yet possessing a cold, otherworldly aura.
Its skin had a profound blood-red hue, as if every inch contained the essence of life and the shadows of death.
Most striking of all were the massive wings behind it, not traditional feathered wings, but like those of a bat, composed of tough membranes, edges sharp, enough to stir up a gale with just a gentle flap.
Even more peculiar was that on the front of this entity, nine dazzling blood beads were condensed, slowly rotating, emanating an eerie light, seemingly containing endless power and wisdom.
These nine blood beads seemed to be the symbol of its identity as well as the source of its formidable strength.
However, the most troublesome thing about this entity was not its stunning appearance but its unpredictable shape.
It had just to sway its figure and instantly transformed from a physical state into a shadow form, as if merging with the darkness, becoming completely invisible.
Lin Dong’s sword light swung through empty space, leaving only a crisp ringing echoing in the air.
"What... what kind of ghost thing is this!" Lin Dong was shocked, he had never seen such an odd opponent.
He knew well that fighting against this mysterious entity in such an environment was akin to battling darkness, impossible to trace its whereabouts, let alone execute effective attacks.
Just then, a faint sound of wind caught Lin Dong’s attention.
He swiftly opened his eyes, seeing a blood-colored shadow silently approaching him.
Lin Dong acted without hesitation, swinging his long sword, the sword light like a dragon, directly targeting the shadow.
However, just as he thought he was about to hit the target, it transformed again, departing from the shadow, turning into a blood light, winding around to Lin Dong’s back.
"What speed!" Lin Dong was startled, but he did not panic.
He quickly turned around, the long sword dancing, forming a dense sword net that guarded him tightly.
The strange entity saw this and did not hurry to attack but circled around Lin Dong, searching for the best opportunity to strike.
"Hmph, a mere human dares intrude here!" A cold and authoritative voice suddenly sounded from the mouth of the strange entity, shaking Lin Dong’s eardrums painfully.
Followed by a transformation into a blood shadow, moving swiftly like lightning, directly charging at Lin Dong.
Lin Dong’s pupils shrank, he could feel the terrifying speed contained within that power, far surpassing any enemy he had encountered before.
Yet in this moment of life and death, he did not shrink back, instead, he was inspired by an unprecedented fighting spirit.
Spiritual power surged within him, the long sword transforming into a silver streak, fiercely cleaving toward the dark shadow.
"Boom!" The two powers collided fiercely in the air, exploding with a deafening roar.
Lin Dong felt an irresistible force surge through, causing him to involuntarily fly backwards, crashing heavily into the wall, a trace of fresh blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
He looked up at the shadow, seeing it manifest again in its flesh form!
A large, blood-scaled humanoid creature stood in the air, its eyes blood-red like blood, whole body red like blood, with bat-like wings behind it, and fangs in its mouth, incredibly menacing.
"I know what it is now!"
At this moment, Lin Dong finally recognized it!
It was truly the Extraterritorial Blood Clan!
Previously, Lin Dong had encountered Blood Slaves and slaughtered them, but he had never seen a true Extraterritorial Blood Clan.
And from the information he had seen before, Lin Dong knew the Extraterritorial Blood Clan’s appearance was just like the one he was seeing now.
Moreover, he recognized it as a Nine-Star Blood King!
The Nine-Star Blood King of the Extraterritorial Blood Clan was already capable of casually slaughtering Triple-Heaven Martial Artists.
It was also an absolute power among the Extraterritorial Blood Clan!
Lin Dong really didn’t expect to encounter a true Extraterritorial Blood Clan here!
And it was a Nine-Star Blood King level Extraterritorial Blood Clan!
"Human, your blood makes the blood within me feel boiling. Truly delicious, it’s been too long since I’ve encountered blood as delectable as yours." The Extraterritorial Blood Clan spoke human words, also spitting out a snake-like long tongue from its mouth.
It looked at Lin Dong like a hungry wolf seeing a fat sheep! Eyes glaring nakedly, mouth dripping saliva.
"If you want my life, let’s see if you have the ability!" Lin Dong climbed up from the ground.
The inner Qi within him boiled again, preparing to go all out and fight this Nine-Star Blood King in a life-and-death battle.
