Fierce Battle

Su Li had always wanted to test the power of Grantis's new skill, Blood Explosion. Now, he experienced it firsthand.

Beneath this crimson curtain of blood, droplets fell like rain, detonating one after another.

Boom! Boom!

The explosions rang out in succession, their terrifying destructive force sweeping across the area.

Grantis raised a blood shield, but the bombardment had left it warped and uneven, on the verge of shattering.

Bai Moxue's giant beasts let out miserable howls as they were blasted to pieces and reverted to cards.

"This is bad. Hundred Beasts Forest and Blazing Flame Domain have been destroyed!" Lu Chenfeng said gravely.

The vampire noble had triggered a massive Blood Explosion, directly cleansing the entire area and disrupting the terrain once more.

The fiery patterns across the ground snapped apart, ancient trees collapsed, and Blazing Flame Domain and Hundred Beasts Forest turned back into cards.

A mocking smile appeared on the vampire noble's pale face. This had originally been Su Li's trio's plan, but now he had returned it to them in kind.

The blood rain continued to fall, setting off massive explosions.

"Get ready," Su Li said softly.

Grantis spun her parasol, sending a massive torrent of blood spraying forth.

She drove the blood upward in reverse, sending one crimson balloon after another into the sky.

Snap!

Her slender fingers gave a light snap.

Blood Explosion!

Boom!

The blood gathered together and erupted in an even more violent explosion!

At the same time, the blood droplets in the air detonated, setting off a terrifying chain of explosions high above.

Violent air currents swept through heaven and earth as crimson mist rose into the sky.

"Lowly bloodline, how dare you show off before me?" Anger flashed across the vampire's pale face.

With a wave of his hand, black blood began to flow down from the blood curtain.

At that moment, a Flame Dragon soared up from within the crimson mist. Its scorching heat evaporated the blood, and shrouded in steam, it lunged in for the kill.

The vampire revealed a cruel smile, but then he sensed something watching him—a pair of eyes like the starry sky, deep and mysterious.

His movements abruptly came to a halt. He could not move!

The Flame Dragon viciously seized the vampire, spewing scorching dragon breath from its jaws and roasting the vampire noble.

"Ahhh!"

The vampire noble screamed miserably, his entire body charred black.

Suddenly, black blood poured down from the blood curtain like a torrential downpour, engulfing both him and the Flame Dragon.

"He broke free," Bai Moxue said.

It was too fast. He had broken free of King's Gaze in just a few breaths, mainly because Bai Moxue and the Star-Eyed White Tiger were lower in rank than this vampire noble.

Moreover, their life levels were within the same range, so King's Gaze could not suppress him outright.

Roar! Roar!

The Flame Dragon roared as it was enveloped by a sphere of black blood. Blood cascaded over its body, and its flaming form was nearly extinguished.

The vampire sneered as he gulped down blood, using Blood Conversion to recover from his injuries.

Su Miaohan was lurking in the shadows.

Shadow Leap!

There was no light inside the blood sphere, creating a point for Shadow Leap.

At some point, Su Miaohan's graceful figure had appeared behind the vampire noble. Viper's Kiss in her hand gleamed with a cold light.

Shadow Assassination!

She unleashed three consecutive slashes, cutting through the vampire noble's body and stabbing toward his heart.

A stream of blood shot from his heart, forming a sharp blood arrow aimed directly at those beautiful eyes.

Su Miaohan was forced to withdraw her blade and narrowly tilt her head aside. The blood arrow sliced across her fair cheek, leaving behind a wound.

Roar! Roar!

A terrifying pressure descended as the Star-Eyed White Tiger leaped high into the air and launched its attack.

The white tiger's strength was not limited to King's Gaze. It was exceptional in every aspect. Activating "Divine Speed," it leaped into the air as its claws and fangs hardened.

This was the most savage kind of collision. Those tiger claws were unstoppable, and its physical strength was astonishing. It instantly tore apart the blood sphere and charged at the vampire noble.

The vampire fired blood arrows while wielding a spear formed from blood. His physical strength was equally formidable.

This was without question the most terrifying enemy Su Li had encountered so far. While using blood to trap the Flame Dragon and force back Su Miaohan, he wielded his spear to clash with the white tiger's savage charge.

At that moment, beneath the parasol, Grantis extended her pale little hand. Hatred flashed through her eyes as she curled her fingers into a claw and tugged at the blood-red canopy.

Unable to remain airborne, the White Tiger could only strike with all its strength. Though the vampire blocked the blow, he was still sent flying.

At last, the Flame Dragon barely broke free from the corrosion of the black blood. It plummeted down and plunged headfirst into the magma below, its body of flames rapidly recovering.

The vampire's body slammed heavily into the blood-red canopy. He coughed up mouthfuls of blood as black liquid seeped from all over his body.

Then he discovered a shocking fact: the blood-red canopy he had erected was actually sinking!

"How dare you! How dare you—Aaaahhh!" His crimson eyes locked onto Grantis as he let out a crazed roar.

He could not understand why his noble bloodline had failed to suppress this lowly vampire, or why she could even control his blood curtain.

Su Li was overjoyed. In some respects, Grantis was actually suppressing the noble vampire. It was most likely the effect of the "Human Heart."

Grantis, who possessed the "Human Heart," had already cast off the vampires' primal urges.

Even Baron Carlos, her original master, could no longer control her as his progeny. Grantis had completely mastered all of her own power.

Generally speaking, blood stored by vampires carried their own aura. Other vampires needed a certain amount of time to erase that aura before they could control it.

But Grantis was different. Her control over blood had reached an extreme level. At this moment, she was forcibly lowering the blood curtain, intending to strip the vampire noble of his aerial advantage!

Su Miaohan, the Flame Dragon, and the White Tiger continued attacking the vampire noble, but they did not clash with him head-on. They struck and immediately withdrew.

The vampire noble's face grew increasingly pale. He saw through the enemy's plan: they were interfering with his full control over the blood curtain, buying time for that white-haired vampire.

The blood-red canopy was now getting lower and lower. Once he landed, he would face their frenzied counterattack.

He activated Blood Explosion, but even it was affected by the white-haired vampire, suffering a slight delay. Yet that was enough for Su Miaohan and the others to react.

Grantis's red lips curved slightly, revealing a trace of mockery.

This made the vampire noble even more furious. He released all the blood he had stored, unleashing a Blood Tide. Within the river of blood, one hideous human face after another appeared.

Grantis gently spun her parasol and likewise unleashed a Blood Tide. Her reserves were astonishing, and the parasol could store a substantial portion as well.

The two forces collided, kicking up a massive shockwave.

By now, the blood-red canopy had sunk below ten meters. The vampire noble's aerial advantage had been completely stripped away.

The vampire noble's face twitched as he landed on the ground.

Suddenly, lines of fire traced mysterious patterns beneath his feet.

Beside him, ancient trees emerged from the river of blood and surged up from the ground.

The cards in Lu Chenfeng and Bai Moxue's hands glowed. The two exchanged smiles. The moment the battlefield was destroyed, they had both retrieved their cards in advance.
