No one noticed that at the same moment the Cold Light Dagger grazed Rein's neck, two fine, hair-like "battle Gang Line" had already traveled along the wound on his neck, stitching the aorta and vein back together before they could completely sever.

Through these days of practice, Rein is now extremely familiar with the anatomy of the human body.

He had an intimate knowledge of the blood vessels and nerves in particularly vital areas. In order to prevent such a fatal injury from occurring, he had even practiced targeted techniques for Gang Line vital areas.

Now, even "blind stitching" is no problem.

Unfortunately, he only has two Gang Line, so he can only prioritize stitching up the cuts in the main vein.

Suturing the carotid artery will prevent him from becoming a human fountain and bleeding to death in a short time; suturing the vein will prevent air from entering the jugular vein and reaching the heart, causing air embolism, which is equally fatal.

Other conditions, such as a tracheal laceration, are not immediately fatal. If the angle is carefully controlled to prevent blood from entering the lungs and causing suffocation, the immediate situation is not too serious. However, these conditions still require treatment.

However, this is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Originally, Quinn's fatal strike was saved by these two Gang Line, allowing Rein to save his life.

Although the wound on his neck was open and bleeding profusely, it was not immediately life-threatening.

The storage ring can only collect inanimate objects, which is why Quinn was unable to collect his "corpse".

The same applies to the Black Robe Sorcerer collects souls.

"This kid is definitely strange!"

Although he didn't understand why his target wasn't dead, Quinn, who was closest, flashed a cold glint in his eyes and acted with extreme decisiveness. His first attack failed, so he retaliated by drawing his dagger and thrusting it again towards Rein's back!

But how could Bazel possibly give him a second chance?

Before Quinn and the other could show any surprise, a burly silver figure pounced over from afar.

"You're asking for it!"

The Silver Wolf that Bazel had transformed into had eyes that were practically bloodshot.

If he hadn't thought the vampire was after him, how could such a huge blunder have happened, allowing his doctor to be stabbed in the street!

If Rein is killed, then his only hope of healing his internal injuries will be shattered!

Ignoring the stinging pain from the Silver Needle thrashing around his body, he unleashed a torrent of fighting spirit, striking Quinn's head with the force of a collapsing mountain.

How terrifying would the former top ten powerhouses be if they unleashed their fury?

In that instant, it was as if time had suddenly stopped, and Quinn was so terrified that his soul seemed to leave his body. The murderous aura, like needles piercing his skin, made him want to pull back his knife and dodge the wolf's claws.

But it's impossible!

He was rendered immobile by the overwhelming murderous aura.

"Oh no, this is the pressure of rank!"

At this moment, the Third Tier assassin, who had killed countless people, seemed to have seen a ghost.

How terrifying must the opponent's strength be to be able to suppress even Third Tier Demon Hunter like him?

Could it be one of the "Ten Great Legends"?

Ha, he actually guessed right!

"Bang!"

Before Quinn could even have a chance to let his thoughts wander, the White Wolf reached out with a claw, and the blade-like energy between its fingers pierced Quinn's head without any obstruction.

"Smack!"

It burst open like a watermelon, splitting into pieces and turning the ground crimson.

Quinn, the once-famous thief known as "One-Eyed Wolf" in the world of Omar thieves, was instantly killed in one blow!

Murder?

Before the people on the street could figure out what was happening, a gust of wind swept across the street.

Suddenly, another incredibly fast bat-like figure flashed by, pouncing straight at the Silver Wolf that Bazel had transformed into!

One second ago.

Besides Quinn and the dark sorcerer known as "Mr. Hei," another person who came to the City of Radiance was a pale-faced young man named Qi Ming Dracula.

"Bazel? This guy is still alive?!"

Qi Ming was also greatly surprised to see the giant silver wave that suddenly appeared in front of him.

Vampires don't have the same level of perception as werewolves, but now that Bazel has transformed and started killing people, even if he's blind, he can still sense the werewolf aura that comes from his bloodline's aversion.

He never expected that what he originally intended to do was find a henchman to retrieve Morin's treasure, but instead he encountered a roadblock.

Why did Bazel save that kid? What's their relationship?

"Didn't those guys from Omar say they killed Bazel using the [Silver Radiance Sacred Artifact]? How is he still alive?"

"Wait, his aura is off! Those Silver Needle are from a wound left by a sacred artifact. Even at this level, he still wants to force his way out. Is he courting death?"

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Qi Ming's mind.

Although he didn't understand why Bazel would risk his life to attack, he could clearly see that this former legend had barely managed to kill Quinn, and was obviously seriously injured.

If it were Bazel at his peak, Qi Ming would definitely have turned and run, but now...

Without any hesitation, he instantly transformed into a vampire with a blue face and fangs, flapped his fleshy wings, and rushed towards the blood-covered Bazel at an extremely fast speed.

Although killing someone in the City of Radiance would cause some trouble if it went too far, for this Blood Marquis of the Xid Empire, eliminating the great threat of Bazel was worth paying a price for.

After Bazel, in his Silver Wolf form, killed Quinn with a single swipe, thus averting the crisis of Rein potentially being finished off, he himself found himself in danger.

With a flash of light, a blue-faced, fanged vampire appeared like a ghost behind Silver Wolf.

Like werewolves, vampires are also a race of Transcendent individuals with exceptional melee combat skills.

Their bodies are their most lethal weapon!

Qi Ming's demonic claws, as sharp as cast iron, could easily tear through steel plates, and he swung them out towards the Silver Wolf's back.

The five fingers, imbued with fighting spirit, slashed down through the air, seemingly freezing the air itself and creating visible, transparent ripples.

A strong sense of crisis washed over him, and Bazel's pupils contracted sharply, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

He had already unleashed his full power beyond his body's safety limits when he killed Quinn. Inside his body, it was like boiling water, with the tiny silver Silver Needle wriggling wildly like Ni Qiu in boiling water.

Unable to avoid it, it could only curl up the hair and muscles on its back, trying to withstand the attack.

The only hope now is that the Security Department force will eventually come to resolve the situation.

"Hopefully, by then my body won't be too badly injured."

Bazel wasn't very optimistic; he realized he was still pushing himself too hard.

From the moment Quinn revealed his dagger to the Bazel killed him, the entire process took only a breath.

Rein's "corpse" was even slowly losing its balance, as if it were about to fall to the ground. At the same time, he raised his hand, seemingly trying to cover the horrific, bleeding gash on his neck.

But in the next instant, something completely unexpected happened!

It's come back to life!

Before the passersby could fully process the shock of the assassination, the temperature on the entire street suddenly plummeted to freezing.

A chilling, bone-piercing frost sword aura burst forth from Rein's hand!

Everyone's attention was actually focused on the White Wolf and the vampire; no matter what, a "corpse" with its neck cut off would not become the focus of the battlefield.

But no one expected that this "corpse" would unleash such a terrifyingly powerful attack.

The three were so close together that there was no room for them to dodge.

That icy sword energy was like lightning, piercing straight towards the vampire's chest with incredible speed!

Bazel, being the closest, naturally sensed the chilling sword energy immediately, his eyes widening in shock. "Ice Law Crystal? This kid... actually has something like that?!"

"Law Crystals" can only be condensed by Fifth-tier Expert!

At the same time, he was overjoyed: He was saved!

Bazel never expected that the rookie doctor he'd spent over a month with would have such a hidden skill. Recalling how calmly the guy had acted when Bazel ambushed him in the sewers, it turned out he had a way to save his life.

On the other hand, Qi Ming was even more surprised that his originally sure-fire strike had landed on Bazel's back, but he had to dodge because of the fierce sword energy.

Unfortunately, the distance was too close, and all his energy was focused on Bazel, so this attack was unavoidable.
