The Strongest Grantis

A terrifying crimson torrent swept across the sky and earth.

The two vampires manipulated the blood, unleashing even more transformations.

Within the sea of blood, countless strange entities emerged—some crimson humanoid figures, others sharp weapons—as they launched their fiercest assault.

Boom!

Under the deluge of blood that blotted out the sky and sun, those pitch-black skyscrapers all collapsed, completely swallowed within it.

The black creatures roared and spread their dark shadows, but it was futile. They were washed clean by the torrent.

In the blink of an eye, this entire area had been completely dyed crimson.

Su Li's face turned pale. That attack had nearly consumed half his mental power.

He activated [Mental Recovery], and his complexion improved. He did not dare relax; this battle had only just begun.

The field Zhou Qing had created was bizarre. Even the tenth bronze-rank Blood Forest could not completely cover it, and it was even being eroded in reverse. It had to be cleared away quickly.

But his expression gradually darkened. He still could not hear any sound, which meant Zhou Qing's field had not been completely destroyed.

Su Li stared into the sea of blood.

Gurgle, gurgle.

The sea of blood underwent a strange change. Vortices formed in certain areas, as though some unknown force was about to burst forth.

Strands of black liquid gathered at the center of the sea of blood.

Zhou Qing's grotesque head actually emerged from that mass of black liquid. He stared coldly at Su Li, grinning.

The black liquid began to flow, wrapping around Zhou Qing's body and forming a suit of dark armor.

Zhou Qing gripped a pitch-black longsword and pointed it at Su Li. The black liquid beneath his feet transformed into steps, supporting him as he stood atop the sea of blood.

At that moment, the blood around him suddenly began to churn violently.

From the castle's spire, Grantis looked down coldly at Zhou Qing and lightly clenched her pale hand in the air.

Blood Explosion!

With this place transformed into a sea of blood, there was no better setting to unleash Blood Explosion.

A massive explosion erupted.

Terrifying chain explosions detonated around Zhou Qing, and the shockwaves whipped up wave after wave across the sea of blood.

The vampire barons attacked at the same time, blood arrows bombarding and piercing him from every direction.

Zhou Qing's position could no longer be seen. Blood mist churned as destructive force ran rampant.

Suddenly, the little White Fox cried out, sensing danger, while Su Li's spirit jade flashed wildly.

An image was reflected in his pupils: a figure had burst out from the range of the Blood Explosion.

The pitch-black armor covering Zhou Qing's body had been heavily damaged by the explosions, revealing his blue-gray body as dark blood flowed from it.

His aura was terrifying. With sword in hand, he had forcibly carved out a path to survival. He moved incredibly fast, closing in on the castle in the blink of an eye.

The beast-form White Fox charged out, its white tail glowing as it launched an attack on Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing swung his sword with astonishing speed. In an instant, the blade was already at White Fox's neck, cutting down toward its head. Fur scattered through the air as White Fox was nearly killed in a single strike.

The difference in rank was too great. Su Li even judged that this person had already preliminarily reached the silver rank.

White Fox used Shapeshifting and narrowly avoided the slash, but a black-armored hand followed with a savage punch, sending it flying.

White Fox wailed as it was knocked from the center of the forest almost to its edge, collapsing to the ground and unable to rise.

A cold glint flashed as Su Miaohan made her move. Yet this man's momentum did not lessen; he was about to reach Su Li himself.

Holding nothing back, she directly unleashed Night Assassination, while opening a Shadow Gate right in front of Zhou Qing's face. Thick black mist blocked his vision.

Zhou Qing grinned, revealing black teeth. He actually opened his mouth and bit the Shadow Gate apart, then ignored the slash of Viper's Kiss with his large hand clad in black armor and grabbed Su Miaohan by the throat.

"It's you?" Zhou Qing's expression turned crazed. This was the card that had beaten him during that wager duel.

"Die!" He exerted force violently, intending to crush the black-haired girl's neck.

But his hand suddenly came up empty as the black-haired girl vanished.

Su Miaohan appeared beneath the shadow of an ancient tree, collapsed on the ground and vomiting. A patch of black had spread across her pale neck, and a terrifying force was corroding her.

This was different from dark-element energy. It was pure evil negative energy.

After using all her strength to expel that negative energy, she received Su Li's new command and slipped back into the shadows.

"Su Li! Aaaaaah!" Zhou Qing went completely mad. In his murky eyes, there was only Su Li.

He shot forward, and in an instant, only ten meters remained between them.

The pitch-black longsword swept through the air. He intended to cruelly torture Su Li to death.

Su Li watched him calmly. The longsword launched its slash, but at that moment, a streak of crimson rose.

Atop the castle's spire, Grantis thrust her pale hand into the chest of the vampire baron Feliman and crushed his heart.

All the blood in the vampire baron's body transformed into a strand of blood essence, appearing in Grantis's palm.

The white-haired vampire girl opened her mouth and drank the strand of blood, and her aura began to surge.

Immediately afterward, she instantly drew in the sea of blood within the Blood Forest, pouring its enormous reserves of blood into the parasol.

High in the sky, the Crimson Canopy descended and transformed into a blood-red shawl draped around her body.

Then she directly activated Blood Frenzy. With this amount of blood, she could sustain the skill for a long time.

After doing all this, she looked down and saw Zhou Qing, who had already reached Su Li.

Grantis lightly curled her finger. Blood flowed, deflecting the trajectory of that longsword.

Then she leaped from the tower's peak, wielding her parasol as a spear as she launched an assassination strike.

Zhou Qing looked up. The white-haired beauty in a starry dress came charging at him. He swung his sword upward from below, clashing with the parasol.

A terrifying blast of air swept out, forcing even Su Li to take several steps back.

Grantis suddenly opened the parasol, sending more than a dozen beams of blood shooting forth. They struck Zhou Qing and erupted in a massive explosion.

Zhou Qing was blasted back dozens of meters. His expression grew increasingly crazed as the black liquid around him churned, repairing the damage to his armor.

Su Li quietly let out a breath, feeling far more reassured.

Although she existed in card form, Grantis had gained a temporary boost for this summoning after feeding on Feliman.

Combined with the multiple enhancements of Blood Forest, Blood Frenzy, and the Crimson Canopy, Grantis was absurdly powerful at this moment.

At the same time, she had an enormous reserve of blood. As long as Su Li had enough mental power, she could unleash her skills without restraint.

With Grantis and Zhou Qing both releasing their full power, Su Li could sense that Grantis had already surpassed Zhou Qing!

This was the first time he might have reached the power of the Silver stage. It was the strongest power he had possessed so far, enough to crush any Bronze-level existence.

"Why?! Why?! Su Li!" Zhou Qing fell into madness.

"Zhou Qing, are you still yourself?" Su Li could not hear any sound, but he shouted anyway. Perhaps he could awaken Zhou Qing's true heart to resist the encroachment of the dark power and weaken him.

"Kill! I will definitely kill you!" Zhou Qing roared savagely, actually reaching out and piercing his own chest.

Glug, glug!

The black liquid poured into his heart, completely wrapping it up.
