Nine Infants, You Have Courted Death

Chapter 50: Nine Infants, You Have Courted Death

"Mu Ningwei, let's talk this out."

Hong Shibin hurriedly shouted, "I'll tell you who's been targeting you from behind the scenes. I can also hand over my savings and leave Magic City forever, never to set foot in Divine Land again!"

"It'll be better for everyone if you spare me. Otherwise, if I go mad, everyone in Linglong Apartment will die!"

Mu Ningwei was actually the queen's consort of a female vampire marquis?

The conscious humans and vampires were stunned.

News of Mu Ningwei slaying the Silver Sky Lord in Hangcheng had spread widely online during this time.

Who could have imagined that this monstrous young man was so fierce? He had only just returned to Magic City and had already killed another vampire marquis!

"He's Mu Ningwei? Not some even more powerful vampire? That's wonderful!"

The two Lu family elders being held hostage cried out in delight.

"Mu Ningwei, harmony is precious. Don't always resort to killing. Please consider the bigger picture."

"That's right, that's right! As long as we survive, the Lu family is willing to be your friend forever!"

Hong Shibin let out a breath of relief. Fortunately, these two old fogies knew what was good for them and hadn't put on some defiant-to-the-death act.

Splat—

Hong Shibin froze slightly.

Blood splashed across his face as the two Lu family elders were shredded apart by the shadows inside their clothes!

Mu Ningwei's demonic eyes were pitch-black. He collected Robert's Remnant Soul and the souls of the Lu family elders, his bearing wicked and domineering. "The Lu family? I'll seek an explanation from them."

"Now, you have three seconds. Tell me who is behind this, or die."

Fei Yi smiled. "My king has no use for the Lu family's friendship. Hong Shibin, a friendly reminder: you'd better speak quickly."

Everyone, including Mu Nuxin, was startled.

Lu Qingyao's face turned deathly pale.

Those were two Lu family elders, yet he had killed them just like that?

No, he had not even said a word before killing the Lu family elders!

Hong Shibin took a deep breath. "It was the Black Pepper Court!"

Mu Ningwei narrowed his eyes.

Hong Shibin answered honestly, "Fifteen days ago, I discovered that subordinates of the Cardinal in Red, Nine Infants, had arrived in Magic City. I've been keeping a close watch on them."

"Robert appeared to have been invited by the Lu family, but I also discovered that he had secretly struck a deal with Nine Infants' men to target those around you."

Nine Infants again!

The last time he had met Ash Riya in Hangcheng, Nine Infants had sent seven high-level executioners to ambush Mu Nujiao.

In Magic City, he had also persuaded Robert to make a move against Mu Nuxin.

If Mu Ningwei had not been cautious, considering that Mu Nuxin was merely an ordinary person and assigning her a commander-level vampire bodyguard—

He would either have lost Mu Nuxin by now or been constrained by his enemies.

Nine Infants truly lingered like a ghost!

In the end, Mu Ningwei's reputation was simply too great, drawing the attention of petty vermin lurking in the shadows.

The solution was simple: kill Nine Infants.

But even if Nine Infants died, others would still set their sights on him.

Becoming stronger was the only path. As long as he was invincible in the Human World, no one would dare lay a hand on those around him!

Mu Ningwei asked, "Where are Nine Infants' people?"

Hong Shibin answered honestly, "Not far from Linglong Apartment. One of my juniors is watching him."

Mu Ningwei said indifferently, "Hand all your savings and influence over to Fei Yi, then you may leave."

Hong Shibin's expression shifted. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I can give all my savings to you. My juniors can also be handed over to Fei Yi. But could I take a few capable subordinates with me?"

To Hong Shibin, whose lifespan was long, money and ordinary Bloodline Descendants meant nothing.

As long as he took away the top talents he had gathered over the centuries, he could make a comeback anywhere.

"I wasn't negotiating with you."

Mu Ningwei's eyes turned into pitch-black demonic eyes. "Once you're dead, everything will be mine."

Hong Shibin's expression changed drastically, and regret flooded his heart.

He should not have tried to bargain just now!

He was meat on the chopping block. He should have been thanking the heavens if Mu Ningwei spared him. How could there be room for haggling?

But Hong Shibin had not expected Mu Ningwei to be so overbearing, to actually dare make a move.

Was he not afraid that a vampire Monarch-level being would go mad before death and drag all the dignitaries of Linglong Apartment down with him?

These thoughts flashed through Hong Shibin's mind. Before he could act, terrifying Ultimate Dark Power descended, sending a chill through his entire body.

Dense darkness wiped away all color.

Before everyone's eyes, Hong Shibin's head was like color on paper, erased in a few strokes by a pitch-black eraser and plunged into the void of a deep, eternal night.

"!!!"

What kind of magic was that?

Bai Tingting covered her small mouth in shock. Her slender figure trembled, her remarkably developed Great Thunder swaying as her eyes went blank.

That was a Monarch!

Hong Shibin had worked with the Bai family for more than a century. Even the family head had to speak to him politely!

Such a formidable big shot had been instantly killed with just one glance from Mu Ningwei?

"Brother Mu is amazing!"

"Of course! Brother Ningwei is number one under heaven!"

Mu Nuxin planted her hands on her hips, looking immensely proud.

Mu Ningwei was so impressive that Mu Nuxin felt as if she herself were invincible. She was practically bursting with pride.

Fei Yi chuckled softly, giving Mu Nuxin an indulgent look as she raised her hands.

Surging blood energy instantly enveloped the entire floor, clinging to the walls, floor, and ceiling before forming a crimson membrane.

Everyone froze, only to discover that Hong Shibin's headless body suddenly tore apart into countless black demon bats that scattered in all directions like bullets.

Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang—!

The black demon bats struck the crimson blood membrane, producing the clashing sound of metal.

The crimson blood membrane dented slightly before all the black demon bats were bounced back!

"He's not dead?"

Mu Nuxin stared in disbelief.

Mu Ningwei explained, "A vampire's core of power is its heart. For Monarch-level vampires, they can transfer most of their souls into their hearts."

"Of course, the brain is still a vital weakness. Losing it will leave them severely injured."

The swarm of black demon bats formed a dark cloud, circling beneath the ceiling as layer upon layer of furious roars rang out.

"Mu Ningwei, are you truly going to exterminate me completely?"

"If so, then even in death, I'll drag a few people down with me!"

The black demon bats turned into pitch-black swords and shot toward the merchants on the top floor, opening their mouths to devour whoever they could!

"Ahhh!!!"

"Help!"

"Don't come over!"

The crowd panicked. They were far too weak and could only watch in terror as the black demon bats drew near.

Suddenly.

Their shadows boiled, spreading upward and stretching out, transforming into extraordinarily resilient black silk that caught the black demon bats and sealed them inside.

From Mu Nuxin's perspective, it looked as though the black demon bats had voluntarily flown into the pockets formed by the black silk.

Mu Ningwei had known all along that Hong Shibin was not dead. How could he let him harm anyone?

After the Shadow Element broke through to the super-tier, Mu Ningwei's battlefield control had become unbelievably monstrous. A mere severely injured Sub-Monarch could not possibly stir up any trouble in his hands!

With a wave of Mu Ningwei's hand, the black pockets gathered together, forming a semi-transparent black barrier that imprisoned all the black demon bats in midair.

"Die."

Mu Ningwei said indifferently.
