Berserk Bloodline

(To get on the charts, I desperately need votes. Tomorrow, three updates; if I make the charts, four updates.)

Qi Bei slowly turned around, his dark eyes narrowed. The instant his expression darkened, it was like the oppressive storm clouds before a hurricane, making one's heart palpitate.

"This is the Golden Leaf Dynasty. The land you stand on is the Golden Leaf Imperial Capital, not your Nord Family's territory. This Prince Locke of Luoshui Kingdom is here at the invitation of my father, the Emperor, for exchanges and learning. He is a distinguished guest of our Golden Leaf Dynasty, and you must apologize," Princess Mingyue said, staring into Qi Bei's black-hole-like eyes.

Qi Bei met Princess Mingyue's gaze for a long moment, then suddenly smiled. He walked step by step towards Prince Locke.

Prince Locke's heart trembled, and he involuntarily took a few steps back. Facing Qi Bei with that expression, his initial courage and arrogance had long since been suppressed into the corners of his heart.

"You want me to apologize?" Qi Bei asked, word by word.

Prince Locke's legs felt weak. What kind of eyes were those? They were filled with bloodlust, slaughter, and a majesty that made him completely unable to muster any resistance. He felt as if he wasn't facing a sixteen-year-old boy, but a demon who had slaughtered countless beings.

"You want me to apologize?" Qi Bei asked again.

"N-no need..." Prince Locke replied, his voice trembling, his body drenched in cold sweat.

Qi Bei's gloomy expression flipped like a page, returning to normal. He laughed heartily, patted Prince Locke's shoulder, and turned to Princess Mingyue, saying, "Your Highness, did you hear that? When you bring up your noble status, please ask the person involved for their opinion. Do you think you're his mother, able to make decisions for him?"

Princess Mingyue's beautiful eyes turned cold, and her jade hand clenched instantly. Facing Qi Bei, she felt an urge to lose control of her anger.

"Sister-in-law, little sister, I'm leaving now," Qi Bei waved to Feng Ruoyun and her sister.

After walking a few steps, Qi Bei suddenly stopped. A chill shot straight from his tailbone to his head. His muscles tensed instantly, and he remained motionless.

This feeling of extreme danger was just like when he encountered a Specter in the Undead Mountain Range that had half a foot into the Ghost King realm.

The surrounding noble men and women looked at the suddenly petrified Qi Bei with some confusion, not understanding what kind of madness he was exhibiting now.

Princess Mingyue's beautiful eyes flickered. She opened her clenched fist and made a gesture.

Only then did Qi Bei feel the oppressive aura locking onto him recede. He turned his head, squinted at Princess Mingyue, and strode away.

Feng Ruoyun glanced thoughtfully at Princess Mingyue, clearly guessing something.

When Qi Bei returned to his courtyard in the Nord Family, he found that the Vajra siblings were not there.

"Young Master, quickly, quickly go see my brother, he's about to lose control," just then, Phantom stumbled in. Seeing Qi Bei was like seeing a savior, she cried.

"Where is he?" Qi Bei's heart tightened, and he asked urgently.

"He's in the northern woods," Phantom said.

Qi Bei's figure flickered, and he was gone.

The Nord Mansion was vast, with a dense forest to the north. However, no one usually went there.

Qi Bei arrived at the center of the forest and saw that the surroundings were a mess. Large trees were either uprooted or broken, as if ravaged by a hurricane.

What shocked Qi Bei even more was that in the center, a giant over ten feet tall was kneeling with disheveled hair. His face was covered in fiery stubble, his features contorted in pain, and his bell-like eyes were blood-red, flashing with a terrifying killing intent. However, he seemed to be enduring it forcefully.

"Vajra!" Qi Bei called out and flashed to his side.

Vajra suddenly looked up, letting out a beast-like roar from his throat. His blood-red eyes stared at Qi Bei, as if wanting to tear him to shreds.

But he clearly retained a sliver of reason, desperately controlling himself.

Qi Bei noticed that on Vajra's arm, thicker than his entire body, veins were bulging. It seemed as if boiling magma, not blood, was flowing within. Even through the skin, one could feel the violent power.

"Quick... go, I... can't hold on much longer," Vajra roared. If it weren't for the remaining reason suppressing him, he would have already charged forward to tear Qi Bei to pieces.

"Berserk transformation, is this truly the Berserk Bloodline that only Descendants of the Beast God possess?" Qi Bei was shocked and no longer hesitated. His left hand flashed with golden light and pressed onto Vajra's forehead. His inner force flowed into Vajra's body like a spiritual snake.

The violent, mysterious energy within Vajra churned like waves, impacting the Heavenly Apertures in his mind. Perhaps this was the fundamental reason he was losing his sanity.

Qi Bei's heart sank. Actually, sealing the Heavenly Apertures wasn't difficult, but the nerves in the mind were extremely complex. If even a small part was injured, it wouldn't be a laughing matter.

However, Vajra was already on the verge of losing control. In his berserk state, he was like a giant tank. Regardless of the consequences, the impact of the mysterious energy on his Heavenly Apertures could very well drive him mad from now on.

Qi Bei gritted his teeth and carefully used his inner force to build a defensive line around Vajra's Heavenly Apertures, preventing the violent energy from impacting them.

To Qi Bei's delight, although his inner force seemed minuscule compared to the violent energy, the trace of Dragon Power contained within his inner force seemed to instill fear in this energy. When his inner force enveloped Vajra's Heavenly Apertures, the energy would naturally bypass them, no longer impacting the apertures.

Vajra's eyes were still blood-red, but the frenzied killing intent was slowly receding, and he began to regain his clarity.

Qi Bei's inner force formed a pattern on Vajra's Heavenly Apertures, resembling the Dragon Seal on his left palm, before he withdrew his hand.

"I... I'm fine now..." Vajra still couldn't quite believe it. He looked at his incredibly thick arms, feeling this immense power in his body for the first time without having to suppress it arduously.

Vajra let out a roar and swept his arms, causing rings of flame-like light to appear. Trees were instantly blasted into powder, as if made of mud.

"Brother," at this moment, Phantom rushed over excitedly.

"Little sister, I'm fine," Vajra spread his massive palm, actually allowing Phantom to stand on it and lifting her up.

Qi Bei crossed his arms, feeling both delighted and proud.

Descendants of the Beast God, meaning these siblings actually possessed divine bloodlines.

Looking at Vajra's physique and attack power after going berserk, even King Grade warriors and King Grade mages would have to retreat.

Just then, the redness in Vajra's eyes rapidly receded. He quickly put Phantom down, and in an instant, his massive body began to shrink, and the fiery stubble on his face also retracted.

As soon as Vajra reverted to his normal form, his body staggered and he sat on the ground, as if all his strength had been drained.
