Chapter 445 - 342: Bountiful Harvest—Grandmaster Level Weapon and Elixir, Blood Soldier, the Second Key!
Under the blood moon, a space portal slowly opened.
Nuke’s gaze intensely fixated on the silver token in Yuliss’s hand, a hint of greed flashed in his blood-colored pupils, and he did not bother to conceal it.
The Roy Clan announced to the outside world that the token, capable of crossing the Human Interface, was obtained by the Roy Clan from a Land of Ruins.
"The Human Interface contains many resources that are scarce even for our Sacred Tribe; leaving such a rare treasure in the hands of this despicable woman is a sheer waste..."
"If it falls into my hands, my status in the tribe will surely improve, perhaps even giving the Ray Family a chance to advance further..."
Blood Slaughter Hend also showed suspicion; the Roy Clan is indeed one of the Eight Great Royal Families, even with their decline, their foundation remains strong and cannot be underestimated.
"Let’s move, we’re leaving!"
Nuke was the first to step into the space portal, and as he brushed past, he looked down at Yuliss with a condescending gaze.
Yuliss’s expression remained calm.
Until the five disappeared, a glint of coldness emerged in Yuliss’s eyes.
Next, she only needed to wait for news from Lin Peng.
Her thoughts drifted with her gaze toward the distance, where a biting cold wind roared as sharp as blades caressing the face, a faint worry arose in Yuliss’s heart.
She suddenly realized something; perhaps she trusted this human man who had brandished a knife at her upon their first meeting too much.
"What if this time he couldn’t eliminate Nuke..."
Yuliss’s thoughts spun rapidly.
There’s no need to think; in such a situation, if Nuke, who also hails from one of the Eight Great Royal Families as a direct descendant of the Ray Family, returns alive, a storm would befall her.
Internal strife among the Eight Great Royal Families isn’t uncommon, but some matters are insignificant until they are placed on the scales, heavy like Mount Tai.
At that time, the Roy Clan may abandon her due to pressure.
"Can Lin Peng really kill Nuke with Hend by his side?"
Whether considering the realms from the Human side or the Sacred Tribe side, an Eighth Level Grandmaster or Intermediate War God already belongs to the strongest existence below the Saint Realm.
Especially Blood Slaughter Hend, renowned for a long time, is a strong figure among the Intermediate War Gods. Unlike human Martial Artists, the Sacred Tribe emphasizes the power of the bloodline over natural talents among humans.
In Yuliss’s view, these two paths lead to the same destination. Hend’s innate bloodline power, once activated, can comprehensively enhance himself, particularly his speed, akin to a certain extent to a Speed Talent Martial Artist.
"Hend has already touched upon the Power of Origin; what he comprehends is the Origin of Wind. When the Origin of Wind combines with the speed of bloodline power, if he chooses to flee, it is difficult for human Martial Artists of the same realm, or even those more powerful, to keep him—this is the key reason he can always escape from human powerhouses’ pursuit. His inherent strength is rather secondary."
On this point, Yuliss has personal experience.
If it weren’t for her possessing a space treasure, she might have died under Lin Peng’s blade back then, and soon, she put herself in Lin Peng’s position.
"To kill the past me or Hend, two conditions must be met..."
"First, having strength surpassing his, whether through individual prowess or overpowering with numbers, setting a trap."
"Second, the ability to pin him down, possessing speed comparable to his, or a means to restrict his speed, this point is somewhat difficult..."
"What would you do?"
Yuliss murmured, but the night was silent, and no one could solve her puzzle, so Yuliss’s mood grew heavier, realizing she might have acted impulsively this time.
She didn’t understand why she trusted Lin Peng so much.
Holding the token in her hand, she wasn’t one to immerse in regret; soon, another worldline emerged in her mind, one where Hend was killed. This worldline had a divergence.
"The most ideal outcome is mutual destruction. Blood Warriors are not easily obtained; thus, I can attempt to control Lin Peng. With his combat strength and potential, he can be a great help in the future, greatly aiding in that matter..."
"But before that, I must first repay the previous knife wounds!"
Yuliss muttered through gritted teeth, recalling the time Lin Peng led her close to death’s door. She wanted to let Lin Peng taste the same, to return the favor multiplied.
But soon, her expression froze.
The token in her hand trembled, and a calm, indifferent voice came forth.
"Blood Warrior received..."
"Transaction complete."
Clang!
A metallic object fell to the ground, producing a crisp sound like a silver bell, breaking the night’s silence.
...
Ah?
Did she hear wrong...
The Blood Warrior is received, and the transaction is complete?!
Yuliss looked at the token fallen to the ground, her expression incredibly varied, a mix of disbelief and unexpected shock.
Just now, she was worried, pondering retaliation...
In the end, Blood Slaughter Hend’s group was wiped out, annihilated in a single encounter.
She wasn’t kind enough to give Lin Peng a Blood Warrior for free.
"Could it be that Lin Peng had concealed several top titled Grandmasters from Hend in advance?"
"Or summoned the projection of a Saint Realm Powerhouse, perhaps even a Saint Realm Powerhouse directly took action?"
Other than that, how could Hend, an Intermediate War God with a grasp of the Origin of Wind, be slain so easily, was what Yuliss could currently think of.
"Most likely it’s Martial Saint Disciple..."
On her side, Yuliss fell into deep thought.
