Lure the Snake from Its Hole

Inside the manor, in the largest building, Prince Hannibal, dressed in a magnificent formal suit, listened to his subordinates' report with a somber expression.

"You mean, the young master's guards have also gone missing?"

"Yes, Your Highness, according to our investigators, there were signs of a struggle at the scene, but all seven people, including the young master, are missing, and even..." As he finished speaking, a strange look appeared on the vampire's face.

"Even what?" Hanbani asked coldly.

"Even the shop the young master went to was completely empty. There was only a lot of blood at the scene. You know, in our royal city, no one has ever been able to kidnap so many people. So, there's something strange about this!"

Upon hearing Hanbani's brow twitched, and he remained silent.

Unbeknownst to him, Li Wei had already collected all the corpses into the Copper Pot, leaving nothing behind at the scene.

"At the city gates, have any strangers been seen coming in or out?" Hanbani's biggest fear was that his youngest son would be taken out of the city. As long as he was in the city, everything would be fine, but once the other party left the city, it would be very difficult to find him again.

"Your Highness, the men at the city gates report that no suspicious persons have entered or left."

It is one by one r one by one"

"What is it?" "A guard from the city garrison has gone missing!" "A guard has gone missing?"

Hanbani leaned back in his chair, remaining silent for a long time. He simply couldn't understand who had kidnapped his youngest son. After all, in this royal city, no one dared to plot against him.

"So it's very likely that an outsider did it!" Hanbani around, and he suddenly thought...

Could the missing guard from the city garrison also be related to this incident?

At that moment, another vampire rushed in, kneeling and saying, "Your Highness, a large number of monsters have appeared in the area where the young master went missing. Our people are already engaged in battle with those monsters..."

"What?! Take me there immediately!" Prince Hannibal exclaimed in shock, but at the same time, he was secretly delighted. He had no clue who had abandoned his youngest son, but now that an enemy had suddenly appeared, he was sure to be connected to them.

"How dare you touch anyone from my Hanbani family! I'd like to see who has such audacity."

"Son!" he said, leading his men out of the prince's manor.

At this moment, two people stealthily emerged from a secluded courtyard within the manor.

Film.

Watching Prince Hannibal's departing figure, a smile appeared on Li Wei's lips.

Using the dozen or so puppet cards he had left at the scene, he summoned a number of Mud Golem and Water Element. He believed that Prince Hannibal would likely lead a group there personally after learning of this news, or at the very least, send another Σ-level expert. After all, this was a matter of life and death concerning his most beloved youngest son.

Thus, there is one less S-level expert and a large group of A-level experts here.

As for the other S-class expert remaining at level 7, Li Wei couldn't worry about that for the time being. Originally, according to An Hei's plan, he would use Little Hannibal and the puppet to lure away the two S-class experts respectively. Now, having learned about Nina's current situation, Li Wei decided to take Nina away directly.

Of course, the plans will change somewhat as a result.

At that time, no matter who tries to stop him, Li Wei will not show any mercy.

With a young maid leading the way, Li Wei wandered around a few places before finding the place where Nina was being held: a beautifully decorated attic with several guards standing at the entrance.

From a distance, Li Wei could see the guards downstairs.

The guards were all at least A-level in combat strength, each capable of independently holding off others. Under these circumstances, getting in and bringing Nina out would be no easy task.

However, since Li Wei dared to come, he must have already made up his mind.

"Today, I'll seize victory from chaos! Vampire Starfolk, Hanbani, no matter how strong you are, I'll show you the consequences of provoking me, Li Wei!" Li Wei's eyes gleamed, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"Well then, the show begins."

After saying that, Li Wei formed hand seals and began to use the Blood Control Method.

This Blood Control Method is truly incredibly useful. Whenever he has free time these past few days, Li Wei practices this technique, and as a result, his understanding and proficiency in Blood Control Method are getting higher and higher.

The booklet left behind by the old man surnamed Qin not only contained the cultivation manual for the Blood Control Method, but also some blood techniques derived from this technique.

All blood techniques are terrifying killing moves. The 'Blood-Killing Blade' is one of them, capable of controlling blood to form blades for killing enemies. But the most terrifying of these is a skill called 'Infinite Blood Slaughter!'

This skill can create a force field that can be large or small. Anyone within this force field will be affected by Infinite Blood Slaughter.

Like other blood skills, Infinite Blood Slaughter has an instant kill effect on those whose combat power is lower than the caster's. Of course, the conditions for preparing this killing technique are quite demanding.

On the one hand, it requires a huge amount of true energy to be consumed; on the other hand, the preparation time required to cast this skill is too long.

As for the range, it varies from person to person. Just like the old man surnamed Qin and the middle-aged man, the force field they could create was less than 100 meters. Li Wei's current A1 combat strength is about the same range.

Within a hundred meters, the effect certainly wouldn't reach the level Li Wei had envisioned, but for this mission, it was already...

That's enough.

At that time, all Vampire Starfolk within this force field will be affected, and those whose combat strength is inferior to Li Wei's will suffer an instant and tragic death.

With his eyes closed, Li Wei began preparing for this somewhat terrifying skill.

Two minutes later, Li Wei opened his eyes again, but this time, his eyes were tinged with blood. The first time Li Wei performed the spell, it was at a house several hundred meters east of his gnomon.

The invisible intent was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples. After these terrifying ripples subsided, all combatants within a hundred meters who were resisting the A-level vampires were instantly and tragically killed.

"Next, it's the west!" Li Wei once again projected his mental energy, pointing to the dozens of houses to the west.

Inside, both humans and animals perished instantly.

After unleashing Infinite Blood Slaughter twice, Li Wei's forehead was covered in a layer of sweat; his true energy was no longer sufficient to continue using this skill.

Finally, the other S-rank expert from Prince Hannibal's manor jumped out of a courtyard and flew towards an area affected by the Infinite Blood Slaughter.

Seeing this, Li Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, screams of surprise came from all around.

This was because some vampires suddenly discovered that in the two mansions to the east and west, which housed hundreds of people, there was not a single survivor; everyone was dead.

The most bizarre thing is their cause of death. There was not a single external injury, but if you dissected the conjoined bodies of these vampire victims, you would find that their blood vessels, internal organs, and brains had been twisted into a pile of rotten flesh by some unknown thing.

Sensing the departure of the ∑-level expert, he knew this was his only chance.

In the blink of an eye, after unleashing his killing move, Li Wei took out several cards, chanted an incantation, and threw them on the ground.

Instantly, the cards were activated one after another, and several enormous monsters appeared in front of him.

"Go! Hold them off!" With Li Wei's command, the puppet monsters charged towards the attic, while Li Wei hid in a corner waiting for an opportunity.

The guards were visibly startled by the sudden appearance of the large group of monsters, but they were, after all, trained vampire warriors! They quickly regained their composure and engaged in battle with the puppet monsters summoned by Li Wei.

From the very beginning, the vampire guards had the upper hand, but because the puppet monsters outnumbered them and were all fearless, the two sides fought a very close battle, even though they were far inferior to their opponents in terms of combat strength.

Of course, this is only what it appears to be; in reality, these puppets can only last for no more than 5 minutes.

Bell.

Therefore, Li Wei only has 5 minutes to take Nina away.

Furthermore, Li Wei took the opportunity to sneak into the attic, where he finally sensed a faint, familiar aura.

"That's right, it's Nina!"

Running quickly upstairs, Li Wei saw a familiar figure sitting on the edge of the bed, playing with a strand of hair in his hand. His eyes still held a hint of his former mischievousness, but more than that, they held a trace of melancholy and determination.

Nina was already prepared for the worst.

Ever since she was abducted here by these Vampire Starfolk, she has been thinking about escaping all the time. However, there is a kind of transparent barrier around this room, which she cannot break through with her B3 combat power.

"Who is that Hanbani? He dares to make a move on me? Fine, I'll take him down with me!" Nina's face flashed with murderous intent as she thought of how Hanbani had tried to force himself on her.

If they come again, Nina will fight them to the death, even if it means her own demise.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from downstairs in the attic again, and her face once more showed disgust.

Expression.

No one is allowed to come up to this attic without Hanbani's permission. So, that damned Hanbani is back?

A resolute glint flashed in Nina's eyes, and a sharp knife appeared in her hand, which she then pressed against her neck. However, when she turned around and saw who it was, she was somewhat stunned.

How could it be a young boy?

This young man was none other than Li Wei. Seeing that Nina was unharmed, Li Wei felt relieved and was about to move forward when his movements were hindered.

"Is it a barrier?" Li Wei frowned.

He thought to himself that Hanbani was really cautious, afraid that Nina would escape, and had even set up such a clever barrier here. In that case, it would be quite a hassle to get Nina away.

Li Wei glanced at Nina, who was looking at him curiously from inside the barrier, smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, and then said, "Nina, take a few steps back!"

Nina was taken aback inside the barrier. How did the other party know her name?

While she was still in a daze, Li Wei took out his Thunder God's Sword, flicked his wrist, and the Thunder God's Sword floated in the air. He took a deep breath and used his sword control technique. Streaks of lightning burst forth from the Thunder God's Sword and then merged back into it. This cycle repeated several times. In just a few seconds, the Thunder God's Sword was already crackling with electricity, and the dazzling current had transformed it into a dazzling light Thunder God's Sword.

Li Wei knew the time was almost right, so he stretched out his hands and performed a sword technique. Almost instantly, the floating Thunder God emitted a piercing sword cry, and then, like a bull, crashed into the invisible barrier.
