Roooaaar!!!
Amidst waves of dragon roars, golden fist shadows swallowed and shattered Mason Hu’s body!
"No...!"
Mason Hu shouted in unwillingness, trying to break free, but it was useless. The Son of Heaven Dragon Fist, empowered by imperial qi-luck, is invincible among Martial Gods—let alone now, when his strength is far from its peak.
After a moment, the golden light faded, leaving only a ring and a purple heart core on the ground.
At the same time, the blood-red bead that had imprisoned Ian Song’s body lost its power.
As the light faded, Ian Song grabbed it into his hand.
"Master, wasn’t that a bit of a poor trade-off?" Huang Yan said with a wry smile.
"Maybe so," Ian Song replied.
When leaving the fantasy world, just as the last of his internal qi-luck was about to dissipate, Ian had a sudden idea and forcibly sealed that luck inside Huang Yan’s body.
The qi-luck sealed inside him could barely unleash the Son of Heaven Dragon Fist once, so Ian Song had always kept it as his trump card.
This time, because of a miscalculation, he ended up in grave danger and had no choice but to use his trump card.
"Master, are you alright?"
At that moment, Cici and Joy arrived, leading the eight vampire earls.
"You eight, go hunt down the vampires who escaped from Luoxin City!"
Ian Song commanded. During his battle with Mason Hu, a lot of energy shockwaves erupted, causing collateral damage to the vampires of Luoxin City and forcing many of them to flee.
There were thousands of these vampires. If they were allowed to escape, it would be a disaster for the planet. Ian Song absolutely would not allow them to spread.
After sending off Cici and Joy, Ian Song worked with Huang Yan to lay a grand formation around Luoxin City, trapping the vampires inside.
An hour later, the formation was complete, enveloping all of Luoxin City. The millions of vampires inside would never escape. As for why Ian Song trapped rather than killed them, there were two reasons: first, he wanted to use these vampires to cultivate the Supreme Slaughter Art.
Second, the vampires' heart cores could be used to raise the eleven vampire subordinates he had enslaved. With millions of heart cores, they should all be able to reach duke rank!
A duke is equivalent to a Nascent Soul Immortal-Dao cultivator or a Martial Saint.
After reabsorbing Huang Yan, Ian Song took out the ring.
There are two ways to seize another host’s system: defeat the opponent and forcibly take it, or kill them and obtain the ring that holds their system, then bind it with your blood.
Ian Song dripped a drop of blood onto the ring, and immediately sensed Mason Hu’s Vampire System inside.
To his surprise, Mason Hu’s system had already reached three-star rank—no wonder the Star-Fate Divination couldn’t read him.
This was an unexpected bonus.
Without hesitation, Ian Song ordered his own system to devour Mason Hu’s Vampire System.
Once it devoured Mason Hu’s system, Ian’s own system was likely to advance to four-star rank.
As for the purple heart core, if Cici or Joy were to absorb it, they might reach prince rank. Cultivating a prince-level subordinate would be a huge advantage—especially with so many unknown Hosts out there whose strength is uncertain.
This is precisely why Ian Song intends to cultivate a powerful team of subordinates.
After putting away the purple heart core, Ian Song took out the blood-red bead. Identified by the Divine Eyes of Heaven, it was a blood artifact—usable only by vampires. Its function was to freeze the void, and the stronger the user’s blood power, the greater its effect.
Without blood power, Ian Song couldn’t use it himself, so he could only leave this blood artifact for Cici or Joy.
Next, Ian Song’s figure flickered and he entered Luoxin City.
Inside the city were millions of vampires. With Ian Song deliberately suppressing his aura, countless greedy eyes fixed on him.
The next moment—
A figure darted out—a vampire lunged for Ian Song’s chest.
Bang!
Ian Song threw a punch, blasting the vampire’s body apart and then taking its heart core.
"Damn human!"
This scene enraged the other vampires. Among vampires, it was forbidden to kill each other for heart cores, as the heart core is a vampire’s most precious possession. Seeing a human steal a companion’s heart core was infuriating.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Blurred shadows flashed as six vampires charged at Ian Song from all sides.
"Good!"
With a low shout, Ian Song raised his fists and activated the Supreme Slaughter Art, engaging the six vampires in battle.
The Supreme Slaughter Art is a mass-killing immortal technique, especially suited for group combat.
Puff puff puff puff puff!
One after another, the vampires were blasted apart by Ian Song’s fists. In just ten breaths, he had killed all six and taken their heart cores.
At the same time, as he activated the technique, Ian Song felt a special energy surge into his body from the air, making him unusually excited and noticeably stronger.
"This is the Supreme Slaughter Art!"
Feeling the surging power within, Ian Song mused to himself.
"Damn human! How dare you come into Luoxin City and steal our heart cores! Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
"I want to drink his blood and eat his flesh!" screamed a wildly dressed female vampire.
Unnoticed, hundreds of vampires had already gathered around.
However, these vampires were all weak, merely at the blood slave rank—not a single baron among them. Ian Song knew that nearby, baron and viscount vampires were secretly watching.
"Kill this human!"
"Charge!"
With roars, hundreds of vampires surged forward to attack Ian Song.
Ian Song, holding back his strength at the level of a ninth-rank warrior, advanced instead of retreating, raising his fists to engage the vampires in close combat.
Bang bang bang bang!
At first, Ian Song was overwhelmed by the vampires, but gradually he fought them to a standstill. Minutes later, he gained the upper hand, sending vampires flying or killing them one by one.
One!
Two!
Five!
Ten!
……
In less than half an hour, more than half the vampires were dead. Ian Song, covered in blood, had bright eyes and a powerful fighting spirit. The strength in his fists had increased by at least fifty percent.
Twenty minutes later, the battle was over.
Ian Song had killed all the vampires and taken their heart cores.
He could feel that the energy inside him had increased significantly again.
Glancing at the corpses, Ian Song pressed onward. After walking barely ten meters, five baron-rank vampires appeared ahead.
"Human, you’ve got guts coming in here!" one of the barons said. Although Ian Song and Mason Hu had fought a great battle in the sky, their speed and the energy shockwaves had blocked the view, so the city’s vampires had no idea Ian Song was the one who fought Mason Hu.
