Chapter 174 Starry Night and Daytime
Chapter 174 Starry Night and Daytime
"This is really not satisfying at all..." Blood Egg pouted. He felt like he still wasn't full.
"It seems you've obtained an extraordinary opportunity, but do you think you can defeat me with just that?" Then, looking at Ying Zheng, the blood egg, transformed into a handsome young man, gave a wicked smile.
His kingly aura was comparable to that of Qin Shi Huang.
"Get out of Xuanyong." Looking at the blood egg bearing his identical appearance, Ying Zheng coldly declared:
"You fake one!"
As they spoke, the dazzling light intensified, dispelling the dark clouds that had blotted out the sky. The golden sword floated around them, trembling slightly, as if ready to strike at any moment.
"Imitation? Heh, once I devour you, we'll be one, so what's the point of talking about authenticity?"
As soon as Xue Luan finished speaking, countless flying swords attacked.
The blood-stained sword, stuck in the ground, vibrated and was drawn back out of its sheath. It clashed with the flying sword, sparks flying everywhere, and the sound of metal clashing was deafening. The two attacks were canceled out by each other, and neither could gain the upper hand.
"Is a king so petty?" Blood Egg said casually.
"Zheng——"
With another battle about to begin, Blood Egg spoke up once more:
"Now is not the time to fight, isn't that what you think too?" Blood Egg glanced at Bai Qi, who was struggling in pain beside him.
"Well then, goodbye~"
Blood Egg smiled gently, gracefully performed a noble salute, glanced at Cain, and watched as the swarm of crows that had fallen to the ground twisted and stiffened, hatching into countless scarlet bats that enveloped his entire body like a swarm of bees, disappearing in the blink of an eye like a raging black flame being blown away by the wind.
Ying Zheng did not stop the blood egg from leaving. After confirming that it had truly departed, his gaze fell upon Bai Qi.
"Ahhhh-"
Bai Qi, clad in black armor, lay on the ground, shivering and curled up, his massive scythe lying to the side—completely lacking the demeanor of a great general protecting the nation, instead resembling a pitiful, wounded beast struggling, emitting a muffled roar. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his face obscured by his mask, revealing his expression, but his clenched teeth indicated his great pain.
Ying Zheng floated in front of him, his divine face looking at Bai Qi.
The golden sword held Bai Qi like a cage, making him look like a trapped beast.
"Bai Qi, stay true to yourself!"
Ying Zheng shouted. A silver-gray power flowed from his hand to Bai Qi, and at the same time, the light emanating from Bai Qi dimmed and his aura weakened.
The power of the blood egg, the origin of the vampire clan, invaded like a call from the source, arousing the strong bloodthirsty nature within Bai Qi's vampire bloodline.
He was struggling with his instincts, searching for a way out of the vortex.
Two ideas were clashing in his mind.
Kill, kill, kill, kill! Slaughter everything, slaughter everything, destroy everything in front of you, devour the blood of all things, a boiling killing intent fills your mind.
Submitting to the vampire king, becoming his servant, offering one's heart and loyalty, a frenzied emotion surges, blood boils, and the brain is assaulted.
These two ideas pressed into his mind like enormous objects, and his true self struggled to survive in the cracks between them, teetering on the brink of collapse.
Who am I?
massacre?
Blood Servant?
Annihilate everything.
To submit to slavery.
To vent one's bloodlust...
Obey your instincts and surrender...
no no……
Who am I?
He continued to sink deeper and deeper into abysses, the world spinning around him, he wandered aimlessly.
"Bai Qi, stay true to yourself!" Ying Zheng's voice echoed in his mind, and the darkness seemed to crack open.
A surge of power flowed into his body.
Suddenly, he saw a glimmer of light in the crack.
"partner……"
Who?
"I want to create an ideal world, and I am willing to sacrifice everything, even my life, for it."
"Unfortunately, those in power always repeat the same mistakes..."
Politics...
Bai Qi saw the golden, dazzling person, whose eyes contained unwavering determination and a radiant will.
"You share the same ideal, we are rare kindred spirits. I entrust my back to you."
That relieved smile lessened her loneliness, and her tone revealed the joy of finding a companion.
That was the joy he had been longing to find.
As if suddenly enlightened, the two enormous objects shattered with a deafening roar, and his mind was filled with a bright starry sky, his chaotic thoughts swept away.
I...I am Bai Qi!
The god of slaughter who raises his knife for his ideals is the sword of ideals and the king.
I am Bai Qi!
He cried out in his heart, embracing himself and accepting this power. The starlight enveloped him, like a cocoon...
"This is the real me!"
As his black armor peeled away, new power transformed within him. Bai Qi, now back in reality, swept his sword, shattering the sword formation. His helmet shattered on the ground, like a mask being removed, revealing his resolute face with a fierce expression.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Bai Qi said, panting.
The new power surging within him allowed him to suppress all the hidden dangers in his broken flesh and blood body, and he felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.
"Your Majesty, please forgive our lateness!" Upon discovering the anomaly in Mi Yue's palace, Meng Tian, clad in heavy armor, immediately led a hundred elite troops to the scene, accompanied by Jing and Yao.
Everyone who came was stunned when they saw Ying Zheng's godlike appearance.
"It's all over now," Ying Zheng said calmly.
"understand!"
Only Meng Tian was the first to react, waking the others with a loud voice. The troops behind him stood straight, awaiting Ying Zheng's judgment. He knew that things were not over yet.
"Wow, sis, His Majesty's new look is so handsome..." Yao whispered to Jing.
"Shut up." Before he could finish speaking, he was met with a cold glare from Jing.
Yao swallowed hard, gave an awkward twitch of his lips, and obediently stood up straight like Jing.
"Mobilize all members of the six branches of Xuanyong and initiate the highest alert. An unknown vampire at the King Realm is entrenched in Xuanyong. Each branch should cooperate to drive it out or eliminate it..." At this moment, Ying Zheng instructed Meng Tian:
"Finally, target codename—"
"The Noble Young Master of the Dark Night".
"General Meng, how many troops do we have left?" Ying Zheng asked.
“We still have 50,000 troops in the palace, and the rest are stationed at various passes and customs,” Meng Tian replied.
"Move some less important troops to the pass, but leave the customs office untouched and keep a close watch on it."
The customs house is located in the west of Xuanyong, where many unknown monsters roam. A large number of troops are stationed there and cannot be mobilized. Meanwhile, the Blood Egg will cause trouble within Xuanyong. In this situation of "internal and external troubles", it is somewhat difficult for Xuanyong to deal with a being of the King Realm and reduce losses, but the Blood Egg must also be dealt with.
"Where do we fight that monster?" Meng Tian asked the crucial question.
"The battlefield is not determined by us," Ying Zheng said leisurely, looking in the direction where the blood egg disappeared.
"Go prepare for battle."
"Yes," Meng Tian replied, and began to mobilize personnel.
Xuan Yong, which had been quiet for a long time, became lively again, and many people began to gather. They were all members of the Six Melodies.
On this day, when people saw the sudden change in the weather at the palace, they began to feel the tense atmosphere in Xuan Yong.
And it's getting stronger and stronger.
