Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 647: Power Surge

Although the body Acrylic had condensed from seventy percent of his Primeval Blood had perished, his true form had not died. His true form was within the ancient castle of the Ashamai Clan.

When Gu Feng slapped him across the face and casually crushed his head with a stomp, Acrylic’s heart filled with a burning rage. He wanted nothing more than to kill Gu Feng immediately.

Of course, that was just wishful thinking. Given his current strength, if he were to face Gu Feng, his death was a certainty.

At the peak of his power, he might have been able to put up a fight against Gu Feng, but at this moment, he certainly could not.

"Damn Eastern Guardians! Just you wait! One day, I’ll obliterate you all!" Acrylic snarled, his expression grim as he walked out of the room.

This was a grave matter that he had to report to the Blood Emperor. Although he was a Prince, he was not in a position to make the decision on a matter like this.

With this in mind, Acrylic made his way into the depths of the ancient castle, eventually stopping before a particular door.

Standing at the doorway, Acrylic announced respectfully, "Respected Blood Emperor, Acrylic requests an audience."

In the presence of the Blood Emperor, even the naturally haughty Acrylic dared not show any disrespect. After all, the Emperor’s power was far beyond his own.

"Come in," a faint voice drifted from inside the room. The door swung open on its own, without a breath of wind.

Acrylic lowered his head reverently and entered.

In the room, a young man who looked to be in his twenties sat on a sofa, holding a glass of wine. The liquid inside was as vividly red as fresh blood. This person was the Blood Emperor of the Ashamai Clan.

Stepping into the room, Acrylic did not dare to lift his head, standing with the utmost respect before the Blood Emperor.

The Blood Emperor took a sip of his wine and said indifferently, "Speak."

"Respected Blood Emperor, this is what happened," Acrylic began. He carefully recounted the events on Pegasus Mountain. When he mentioned Gu Feng, he couldn’t help but grind his teeth as anger surged within him.

"As expected. The Eastern Guardians have indeed appeared... those powerful individuals," the Blood Emperor murmured to himself.

This time, he had sent his people to Pegasus Mountain for two reasons. The first was, of course, to obtain the Left Hand of Cain. The second was to test whether the Eastern Guardians would appear. The Blood Clan had been in the West for too long, and this land had confined them for too long. They wanted to venture out, but to leave the West, they could only enter the East. However, they still feared the power of the Eastern Guardians, so he had sent his agents to Pegasus Mountain to gauge the situation for himself.

And just as he had anticipated, the Eastern Guardians had appeared. They had easily destroyed the clone Acrylic had condensed from seventy percent of his Primeval Blood. This was proof enough of their terrifying strength.

"Respected Blood Emperor, what should we do now?" Acrylic asked cautiously.

"That is not your concern. Such matters are still beyond you. This drop of Primeval Blood is granted to you."

As he spoke, a vivid drop of Primeval Blood condensed on the Blood Emperor’s fingertip and flew into Acrylic’s body. In an instant, the seventy percent of strength that Acrylic had lost rapidly recovered. Not only that, but his strength had also increased slightly!

Sensing the change in power within him, Acrylic bowed his head even lower. "Thank you, Respected Blood Emperor."

"Very well. You may go. Focus all your preparations on the Holy War and do not concern yourself with other matters," the Blood Emperor said indifferently.

"Yes, Respected Blood Emperor," Acrylic said respectfully. He then slowly backed away, not stopping until he was outside, at which point he closed the door.

From beginning to end, Acrylic never once lifted his head to look at the Blood Emperor. He didn’t dare.

Doesn’t the Blood Emperor want to punish those people? Why is he letting it go like this? Acrylic wondered. He couldn’t understand the reasoning, but since the Blood Emperor had given his command, he had no choice but to obey.

With that, Acrylic returned to his room.

「At the same time, a similar scene was playing out within the Fanzhuo Clan of the Secret Alliance.」

Yisiduo reported the matter to the Fanzhuo Clan’s Blood Emperor, who likewise bestowed upon him a drop of Primeval Blood. It not only restored Yisiduo’s strength but allowed him to advance even further.

The Fanzhuo Clan’s Blood Emperor also instructed Yisiduo to withdraw, his decision strikingly similar to that of the Ashamai Clan’s Blood Emperor.

It seems my son, Adolf, was also doomed to die... Eastern Guardians. When this Holy War is over, we will settle this account properly! the Blood Emperor thought, a hint of killing intent flashing in his blood-colored pupils.

In fact, the Blood Emperor was very keen on seeking revenge. After all, his son Adolf had been killed. How could he, as the Blood Emperor, not be angry? However, there were some matters that even he could not decide on his own. This concerned a potential war between the East and the West, and now was not a suitable time to act. Moreover, the Eastern Guardians were not to be trifled with. If he were to initiate a war now, it would be detrimental to both sides. Furthermore, he needed to prepare for the Holy War, so everything would have to wait until it was over.

However, the fact that Britney had merged with the Left Hand of Cain caused the Blood Emperor’s brows to furrow. The reason was simple: after merging with the Left Hand of Cain, Britney would gain Cain’s power and could even become the next Cain. This was a development the Blood Emperor could not ignore.

Fortunately, the time has been short. Even if Britney completes the fusion, her strength likely won’t have increased by much. At most, she will have reached the Lord Level. I must find her as quickly as possible. Once I kill her, I can obtain the power of the Left Hand of Cain. Still, I need to discuss this with the Ancient Ones... how irritating!

A flicker of anger involuntarily crossed the Blood Emperor’s face. He stood up and left to meet with the Ancient Ones. After all, he could not make a decision on this matter alone; it required their judgment.

「As for the situation within the Secret Alliance and the Demon Banquet Alliance, Chen Anhun and his group were completely unaware.」

Perhaps even if they had known, they wouldn’t have cared. Anyone who dared to enter Hua Country without authorization had better be prepared to die!

Adolf had also been casually killed by Chen Anhun, and naturally, Kulad would not be left alive either.

After finishing these tasks, they returned to the East Sea Military Region, where Lin Kuang was still standing guard over Britney.

An unknown amount of time passed before the dark red sphere of light began to fade, eventually disappearing completely. As the light vanished, Britney’s figure reappeared in Lin Kuang’s sight. At that moment, Lin Kuang, as if sensing something, opened his eyes. Britney also opened her beautiful eyes at the same instant the dark red light vanished. Instantly, their gazes met in mid-air, and the next moment, smiles bloomed on both of their faces simultaneously.

Rising to his feet, Lin Kuang approached Britney and asked with genuine concern, "Are you alright?"
