"His throat was cut, how is this kid still alive?"

As the sword energy erupted, Qi Ming was shocked, yet also filled with doubt.

He finally understood why Quinn and "Mr. Hei" hadn't been able to take the body away.

It turns out, this guy wasn't dead at all!

But how could that be?

Even though his throat looked like it was cut, why isn't he dead?

Third Tier professional assassin might fail to assassinate a First Tier [Awakened] rookie, leaving the opponent with a chance to live.

Absolutely impossible!

A series of questions arose in my mind.

These phenomena, which were beyond the scope of normal understanding, plunged a high-ranking vampire into self-doubt.

But reality didn't allow for much thought. Even though he tried his best to dodge, the chilling sword energy was like a pale blue arrow of light, piercing straight through his abdomen and tearing out a terrifying wound the size of a fist.

The deadly, Transcendent power contained within the sword energy froze his lower abdomen, causing blood and fragments of his limbs to fall like shattered ice, accompanied by soft, crackling sounds.

A sinister smile crept across Rein's lips.

He stopped his "playing dead" act and fell backward, looking at the vampire whose abdomen had been pierced, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"At least it didn't miss."

Rein knew very well that Bazel's current strength was limited by the sacred artifact, the Silver Needle; even killing the Third Tier Quinn with a burst of power was already a struggle. Adding another powerful enemy would likely be fatal.

Therefore, he seized the opportunity and crushed the blue ice crystal left by Ymir without hesitation.

Even if we don't kill this vampire, we should at least give Bazel some breathing room.

And this decision was clearly the right one!

"That's a really bad Throat Slash."

After finishing all this, Rein finally had a moment to spare. He immediately took out a needle and thread from his Space Ring, touched the bloody, mangled wound on his neck, and began to stitch it up.

The two Gang Line used to suture the carotid artery and vein cannot be removed; it will take at least 15 minutes for the wound to heal.

If neck injuries are not treated immediately, there is also a risk of fatal blood loss.

That's why he started to save himself on the spot.

He was Throat Slash by an assassin, but instead of dying, he managed to do this?

The onlookers on the street then realized that the guy whose Throat Slash was actually a surgeon.

But this act of self-rescue seemed incredibly strange, even a little terrifying, to onlookers.

The surgical scene was slightly bloody, which didn't surprise the hunters. But seeing a doctor stitching himself up was something they'd never seen before, especially not on a vital area like the neck, which was in a blind spot.

At that moment, Rein's calm and skillful stitching stunned everyone.

He was covered in blood, with a half-foot-long wound on his neck, from which scarlet blood oozed out as his veins throbbed, dripping down his body and onto the ground.

He acted as if nothing had happened, his skill so practiced it was chilling. With one hand holding the needle and thread, the other hand was groping over the wound on his neck, his fingers pulling at the everted wound, pinching it, then pulling the torn skin together, and then "blindly stitching" it up.

Because he had to keep a close watch on the enemy not far away, his eyes were filled with a fierce and piercing light, making his expression even more ferocious. Coupled with his blood-stained hands as he stitched things up, he looked like a ghoul who had walked out of a graveyard, sending chills down one's spine.

The bloody scene was etched into the minds of every passerby, leaving them with the same impression: This doctor with the Crow Mask is a ruthless person!

Both sides suffered heavy losses due to this sudden turn of events, and neither dared to say for sure which side would emerge victorious.

Rein has already exhausted all his means of survival, and Bazel is in dire straits as well. Meanwhile, the high-ranking vampire on the other side is clearly still alive, and there's also a Black Robe Sorcerer in peak condition.

Bazel didn't dare to make a move and stood protectively beside Rein. Although he still had methods, killing this high-ranking vampire in the city was almost impossible.

Instead, a glimpse of the man calmly stitching up his neck made even this legendary figure, accustomed to bloodshed, feel his eyelids twitch.

I have to admit, Heavenly Thunder.

This kid is something else!

The sword energy was very powerful, piercing through the vampire and even collapsing a shop on the opposite street.

This commotion will soon attract the attention of the City of Radiance's Enforcement Team.

Both sides seem intent on stalling for time.

Just then, a figure appeared on the street before the Enforcement Team arrived.

When Rein recognized who it was, he was overjoyed.

His gaze shifted, and he immediately cast a glance at Bazel beside him.

He knew that Bazel's current identity was very sensitive, and if he were caught by Enforcement Team, he might be in big trouble.

"???"

Bazel understood the look in his eyes and was very puzzled. Was he being told to leave first?

As Rein's contracted bodyguard, he naturally couldn't leave now. But when he saw that the person who had suddenly appeared on the street was actually Princess Oma Ymir of Omar, he immediately realized what was going on.

Recalling the "Ice Law Crystal" from before, Bazel's gaze towards Rein suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Who is this kid to Ymir that she would go to such lengths to expend her own essence and condense a law crystal to save his life?

This relationship, without a doubt, is definitely not simple!

"Don't do anything rash if you get arrested. I'll find a way to get you out."

After giving those instructions, Bazel didn't waste any more time and dashed into the alley.

They made their escape before the Enforcement Team arrived.

With Princess Oma around, at least Rein's life is safe.

Moreover, Bazel was well aware that Rein's injuries prevented him from making a violent escape. If he couldn't jump away, he would definitely be caught by the Enforcement Team. But as long as he himself wasn't caught, he would have a chance to find a way to use his connections to get Rein out.

Qi Ming Dracula felt that his luck was absolutely terrible.

They originally came to catch a small fry who stole the treasure, but unexpectedly, so many surprises have happened.

Their group, consisting of one Fourth Tier and two Third Tier Extraordinary, was essentially using a cannon to kill a mosquito when dealing with a First Tier [Awakened].

Unexpectedly, one of them has died, and it seems that he and "Mr. Hei" are also going to be in big trouble.

Although Qi Ming didn't have many enemies, the one he least wanted to encounter was Princess Oma.

Because his grandfather was William Dracula, the famous Blood Prince of the Xid Empire, who was the high-ranking vampire who ambushed Ymir in the Battle of Storm Lake.

He had been wondering why a lowly henchman would have a law crystal, but now he understood everything.

Without a doubt, anyone who could command Ymir to bestow upon them Origin Law Crystal must be a very important person in her life. It's even highly likely that they traded it for Morin's secret!

"Damn it, that kid actually got involved with Princess Oma! The whereabouts of that treasure have probably already been discovered by the Oma Royal Family."

Qi Ming's face was ashen.

Before he could think any further, the murderous intent had already arrived.

Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.

Ymir, wearing Golden Mask, had just appeared when her Heavy Armor Guard, without waiting for orders, immediately swung his sword at her.

This filthy vampire almost caused the death of their Her Highness the Eldest Princess last time, so now they'll kill any one they see!

The sword energy surged, Qi Ming, who was already severely injured, was slashed at a tricky angle. Despite his best efforts to dodge, the sword still managed to cut a terrifying wound nearly three fingers deep into his body, which already had a large hole.

However, it must be said that this High-tier Vampire's physical body is ridiculously strong.

This sword strike, if it were aimed at an ordinary human of the same level, would probably have cut them in two long ago, but when it struck this guy, it was as if he had struck a piece of wood.

Even though the wounds exposed to the air clearly revealed the stark white bones, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

"Just as the legends say, the vampire's physical body is almost immortal."

Rein was greatly surprised, but also somewhat certain.

I'm pretty sure I'll survive today.

He continued stitching up the neck, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Ymir wearing a golden mask not far away.

I was inquiring about this big shot's whereabouts from the informant, but I never expected to run into him by chance.

But it doesn't seem like a good time to meet.

However, compared to before, a better new idea has now popped into Rein's mind.

The Black Robe Sorcerer was no pushover; with his desperate protection, the heavily armored swordsman was unable to kill Qi Ming Dracula immediately.

Two or three breaths later, a dense Magical Fluctuation filled the air, and a group of mages dressed in white robes appeared out of thin air.

"Stop!"

The Enforcement Team, which everyone in City of Radiance fears, has finally arrived!
