Purifying the Contamination

Bang!!

With a terrifying explosion, Andre's chest was struck directly by the shell fired from the hand cannon. He was blown to pieces, even his heart shattered.

Yang Lie's hands ached slightly from the hand cannon's violent recoil.

This specially made 35mm hand cannon was immensely powerful, but its recoil was equally terrifying. Any martial artist below the Qi Blood Seventh Transformation would have their hand bones shattered after firing a single shot.

This custom hand cannon was the trump card Qian Ming had left Fang Li. With Fang Li's strength, she could fire it at most once.

Although Beihe Base City enforced strict gun-control policies within the city, high-ranking figures like Qian Ming were naturally unaffected by such rules.

Crash!!

Almost at the same moment, the room's windows shattered one after another. Sex and two Blood Clan powerhouses charged in through the windows, wielding heavy rifles and spraying Yang Lie with bullets.

Yang Lie flipped the table over directly, using it as a shield.

Round after round of heavy rifle bullets punched through the table and struck Yang Lie's body, sending blood flying. Strengthened by the combined power of the four ferocious beasts, Yang Lie's physical attributes surpassed even those of many Essence Solidification Realm martial artists. He himself was a humanoid ferocious beast.

Bang!!

Yang Lie raised the hand cannon and fired at one of the Blood Clan powerhouses. A shell slammed into the Blood Clan powerhouse's body, blasting a huge bloody hole through his right chest.

The Blood Clan powerhouse screamed and collapsed to the floor, howling in agony. The wound in his right chest began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Sex shouted in shock and fury, "Charge him! Fight him to the death!!"

Sex and the other Blood Clan powerhouse used their assault rifles to lay down suppressive fire as they lunged at Yang Lie.

"Idiots!! You're courting death!"

A cold glint flashed through Yang Lie's eyes. With a flick of his hand, he threw out a Flashbang and immediately shut his eyes.

In an instant, an incomparably brilliant light erupted throughout the room.

"Flashbang!! You despicable bastard!!"

Sex let out a furious, startled roar as the Flashbang instantly scorched his eyes blind.

The Blood Clan were restrained by sunlight, and their resistance to Flashbangs was far lower than that of humans. Even with their formidable regenerative abilities, their eye injuries still needed time to recover.

The moment Sex and the others were blinded, Yang Lie rolled across the ground, avoiding the two Blood Clan members' wild gunfire. He raised the hand cannon and pulled the trigger at one of them.

Boom!

Amid a terrifying explosion, the Blood Clan member was blown to pieces by a single shell, his remains scattering everywhere.

"Damn it, human, let's die together!!"

Despair flashed through Sex's eyes. He suddenly pulled a blood-red page from his clothes and tossed it into the air.

Countless bizarre crimson lights surged from the blood-red page and pounced directly toward Yang Lie.

"Die!!"

A sense of foreboding rose in Yang Lie's heart, and he fired directly at Sex.

Bang!!

Sex's head shattered instantly, and his headless corpse fell to the floor.

Yang Lie then fired another shot at the head of the other severely injured Blood Clan powerhouse, blasting his head apart in one strike.

The crimson light enveloped Yang Lie. He instantly felt his body grow heavy as strange whispers rang beside his ears. His eyes turned scarlet, and an uncontrollable urge to drink blood surged from within him.

"Fall! Drain them dry!!"

"Drain their blood, and you will gain a long life and mighty power!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill everyone in this residential complex, drain their blood, and use it to please the great True Ancestor!!"

"Remember, the source that bestowed blood upon you is the Second True Ancestor, Boledo Antasdu Rek..."

Damn it!! This is probably the Blood Clan's Embrace ritual!! If I hear the Second True Ancestor's true name, I'll become a Blood Clan member!! Then I'll only become a pawn controlled by the Blood Clan!!

Yang Lie's mind was in turmoil as the strange whispers continued to echo beside his ears. Fear rose in his heart, and he realized that he had already been drawn into the ritual.

To many vampires, the Blood Clan transformation ritual was a reward they dreamed of. It was also a tremendous temptation for humans nearing the end of their lives. But Yang Lie did not want to be corrupted by this power, because this was the human world.

Human martial civilization had suppressed many civilizations. It was filled with experts and possessed all kinds of incomparably powerful technology. A nobody like Yang Lie, who had not even reached the Essence Solidification Realm, could never evade the Public Security Bureau's Evil God contamination tests. Once exposed, death would be his only fate.

I still have one last resort!

Enduring the nearly exploding pain in his head, Yang Lie willed himself into the Small World and collapsed to the ground.

Countless clumps of soil wriggled in an eerily bizarre manner, directly burying Yang Lie.

Consume 10 spirit stones to remove the Evil God's contamination and use the Evil God's contamination as nutrients to nourish the Small World?

"Yes!"

Yang Lie made his choice with all his strength.

The divine tree at the center of the Small World trembled slightly. Yang Lie, buried beneath the soil, immediately felt the whispers beside his ears vanish, while a great deal of mysterious power disappeared from his body.

At almost the same time, the Small World trembled faintly, and a new mu of land appeared beside the original plot.

Purification complete!

After just a few breaths, Yang Lie felt completely refreshed and sensed that it was over. He crawled out from the soil.

Yang Lie's eyes lit up, and he smiled. "New land appeared! Great! It seems the Evil God's power became nutrients for my Small World! This amount of Evil God contamination is worth more than ten thousand spirit stones!"

The Small World Yang Lie had obtained also required all kinds of nutrients to grow and evolve. Ten thousand spirit stones could increase the Small World's area by one mu of land.

Furthermore, tossing various corpses into the Small World would allow it to break them down and turn them into nutrients for itself.

"The Evil God's power is truly a great tonic! It actually produced two fruits at once! One Vampire Fruit containing the complete power of the Qi Blood Realm, and one Vampire Fruit containing the complete power of the Essence Solidification Realm. After eating these two fruits, it'll be like having the power of two Blood Clan members added to my body!!"

"If I get the chance in the future, I definitely need to collect more Evil God Forbidden Objects and turn them into nutrients for my Small World!"

Yang Lie glanced at the two fruits in the Small World, reached out, plucked both Vampire Fruits, and stuffed them into his mouth. With a thought, he left the Small World and returned to the room.

Streams of incomparably powerful heat flowed through Yang Lie's body, continuously strengthening his flesh and soul. The large-caliber rifle bullets embedded in his body were also forced out by his muscle tissue.

The Blood Clan possessed incredibly powerful regenerative abilities. After consuming the two Vampire Fruits, Yang Lie likewise gained the formidable regenerative power of a Qi Blood Realm Blood Clan member and an Essence Solidification Realm Blood Clan member combined. He was like a terrifying monster with Blood Clan abilities but none of their weaknesses.
