The golden bat was one of the twelve princes of the Blood Race ranking below the Vampire Progenitor.
Among the twelve princes, Konrad was undoubtedly the most famous one in history. He set off a bloodbath in every era on Earth and even left behind the shadows of various incarnations in many major events in the Middle Ages on the distant White Center Continent.
Konrad had lived in this world for thousands of years. With such a long life and rich experience from the age of barbarism to the present, he had seen countless peerless heroes and beautiful women in the world.
His long life and great strength made him think that he had seen through everything in the world and he greatly despised human beings.
In recent years, with the outburst of Spiritual Qi, the Blood Race’s strength had improved very quickly. Unlike human beings who needed to practice hard, the high-ranking members of the Blood Race could easily improve their strength. Konrad’s strength had also soared rapidly, which made him feel even more superior.
Therefore, he came across the seas to kill the so-called oriental G.o.d of War. His original plan was to watch the fun, take action, kill some people, laugh at others, show the power of the Blood Race, shock the whole world, and then leave gracefully.
However, he never thought in his wildest dreams that he would end up being grabbed in someone’s hand before he could shock the world.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak...”
He screamed as he struggled.
Looking at the little golden bat in his hand, Li Mu became quite interested. The little bat reminded him of the Gold and Silver King.
However, this little bat had only reached the peak level of Void-breaking Realm, which was slightly higher than Marshall’s cultivation level. The gap between it and the Gold and Silver King, who was at the peak level of King Realm, was like the difference between a grain of sand and a mountain.
Bang!
A cloud of blood mist erupted from Li Mu’s hand.
The blood mist drifted away.
The little golden bat appeared several hundred meters away and turned into a middle-aged gentleman wearing a white tuxedo with a bow tie and a round top hat.
The members of the Blood Race regarded themselves as the most elegant and perfect creatures in the world.
This middle-aged gentleman was no exception. He pursued perfection in all aspects from his clothes to his appearance, from his beard to his eyebrows, and from his hairstyle to his shoes.
His pursuit of perfection gave the impression that he was like a bottle of red wine that had been stored for thousands of years and gave off a faint scent of history.
However, Konrad was in no condition to be elegant now.
He stared at Li Mu, with a touch of lingering fear. His facial muscles twitched spasmodically and he couldn’t maintain his gentlemanly image.
For the first time in tens of centuries, he felt the icy breath of death hovering by his side.
“Li Mu, you’ve made me feel threatened. You can be proud now,” Konrad growled.
The totems of a pair of huge bat wings loomed behind him. The black blood mist gave off a unique smell of fresh blood. His voice sounded like the sound made by a resonant metal. A strong force swept through the air.
Li Mu’s eyes lit up.
“This is interesting. His strength has increased once again.
“It seems to be some Cultivation Method that can boost one’s strength without causing damage to the Source Energy. It looks like it can be steadily maintained for some time...
“This secret method is quite interesting.
“If I show my full strength, I should be able to reach the King Level in a short time.
“It’s feasible.”
Li Mu’s eyes started glowing brightly.
He could have stopped Konrad from using the Blood Escape Skill just now, but he didn’t do so. He decided to continue observing the little bat to see what it could do.
“Now, it seems that I’ve gained something.”
“Little Bat, come here.”
He crooked his finger.
Then, Konrad was greatly shocked to find that his body seemed to be out of his control and an irresistible force was propelling him toward Li Mu.
Even though he had performed a secret skill of the Blood Race and doubled his strength, it was still difficult for him to resist the force. He drifted through the air like a small ant in a hurricane.
“What kind of power is this?”
“Andrew.”
Konrad roared loudly.
That white man, who had spat blood after being hit by Li Mu earlier, roared furiously as he got back on his feet and straightened up. His arms and legs changed, and he turned into a giant white gorilla.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
As the giant white gorilla ran, it instantly turned into a gigantic beast that was over 20 meters tall. It lifted large pieces of the earth’s crust with its hands, as if it were the king of destruction, and hurled them at Li Mu.
It was Andrew, known as the Gigantic Beast!
He was one of the top masters of the White Umbrella Group, Prince Konrad’s personal attendant, and a close combat expert with the ability to increase his power by transforming himself into a beast. In order to obtain the eternal power of the Blood Race, he began to follow the notorious prince of the Blood Race thirty years ago.
Seeing that his master was in danger, he took action again at the risk of his life.
“Hmm? He has the transformation ability, but he can only transform himself into a beast. There is still a gap between this ability and Yuan Hou’s Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method.”
Li Mu waved his hand casually.
The giant white gorilla charging at him was immediately sent flying as if it had crashed into an invisible air wall, and let out a shrill cry in mid-air.
Its enormous body fell to the ground and the impact sounded like a landslide of a crumbling mountain. Blood spurted out of its mouth, and it reverted to its human form and pa.s.sed out. Whether it was dead or alive remained to be seen.
When Marshall, the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, saw this scene, his heart palpitated wildly.
Although Andrew the Gigantic Beast was not one of the world’s top masters, he was still a super-cla.s.s pract.i.tioner. He was notoriously known for his fierceness. Marshall would have a headache if he were to fight Andrew himself.
However, while Andrew was over ten meters away from Li Mu, Li Mu directly sent Andrew flying just by waving his hand casually, as if he was swatting away a fly.
More importantly, Li Mu’s skill, which could create walls in the air, seemed to be the same as Marshall’s ability to control the air, but it was actually much more subtle and powerful than the latter’s.
“The situation is not right. This person is much more powerful than I have imagined.”
Marshall was shocked.
He secretly made a hand gesture.
Numerous dark blue laser beams suddenly appeared and ripped through the air like sharp swords toward Li Mu.
He suddenly launched a sneak attack.
“It’s a spiritual energy weapon. It seems that he has brought some techniques which originated from the Vanguard from the Heavenly Land...”
Li Mu saw through it at once.
He casually waved his hand through the air, and the powerful dark blue laser beams fell into his hand like soft yarns. He kneaded the laser beams into a ball.
At the same time, a ball of faint blue light fell from the sky above Li Mu’s head and emitted a strange force. The ground around Li Mu suddenly caved in and sank by one meter.
Li Mu hovered in the air.
“Gravity enhancement? The gravity seems to have increased tenfold in an instant. This technique should be a combination of the Earth’s technology and runic martial arts. It’s quite interesting. It seems that the combination of the Earth’s technology and martial arts is more advanced than I have imagined.”
However, this gravity enhancement technique didn’t work on Li Mu.
Konrad, the prince of the Blood Race, slowly drifted toward Li Mu like a marionette.
He struggled desperately with a look of horror on his face, but it was futile.
Li Mu was not in a hurry to drag this vampire to his side.
He slowly pulled the vampire toward him to psychologically intimidate and stimulate the latter. He wanted to see if he could force the latter to manifest any other special abilities in his desperation.
Dark blue rays and enhanced forces of gravity appeared in the air again.
A thought stirred in Li Mu’s mind.
The air around him rippled
The members of the Fierce Tiger Gang hiding in the air were revealed. They cried out in shock, holding various fancy firearms in their hands.
The dark blue rays and enhanced force of gravity that appeared in the air earlier had been created by those firearms.
Li Mu reached out his hand, and a streamlined gun which glowed with a silvery light appeared in his hand.
Click!
Li Mu pulled the trigger, injected some energy, and fired a shot.
Hiss!
A dazzling beam of dark blue light shot out from the muzzle.
Konrad, the prince of Blood Race, cried out on the spot.
“Why did you shoot me?”
The light beam penetrated his left shoulder and left a gaping wound about the size of a fist. The wound was scorched, and the smell of grilled meat permeated the air. The wound was a through-hole and looked quite gruesome.
The Spiritual Energy Gun seemed to be quite powerful.
Li Mu blew the smoke from the barrel.
At this time, Konrad, the prince of the Blood Race, performed a secret skill. His wound soon healed, and he recovered from the injury. However, Li Mu felt a little disappointed at the speed of Konrad’s recovery.
“It seems that I shouldn’t have too stringent requirements for the indigenous creatures on the Earth.”
George Marshall, the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, was scared out of his wits.
“What kind of skill is this?
“He actually kneaded the laser beams from the Spiritual Energy Gun into a ball, as if he were kneading yarns. Not to mention the power of those beams, from the perspective of physics, they are light rays and it is impossible to knead them into a ball.
“Moreover, the enhanced gravity almost created a well that was several hundred meters deep beneath the feet of this oriental G.o.d of War, but he remained unscathed.
“His power is unfathomable.”
Marshall felt a chill run down his spine.
He no longer dared to face Li Mu.
“After so many years, the power of this oriental G.o.d of War had not regressed at all, and he has become so powerful that I can no longer fathom what his abilities are like.
“Should I retreat?
“I have to retreat.”
This thought came to Marshall’s mind.
Suddenly, exclamations rang out.
The Spiritual Energy Guns and Enhanced Gravity Launchers in the hands of the elite members of the Fierce Tiger Gang flew out directly. After flying some distance in the air, they fell at the feet of Lu Xun, Song Youyan, and Tang Tian, who were in the scenic area of the Mogao Caves.
Those weapons had become the others’ trophies.
Marshall felt like his heart was about to break.
He had spent a lot of money on those super firearms. In normal times, he practiced his air control skill, arranged for the elite members of his organization to hide in the dark, and cooperated with them to kill masters. He had never failed before, but today...
He went for wool and came home shorn. He had paid dearly for it.
His heart beat wildly, and his fighting spirit disappeared. He quietly stepped back.
Just then, something unexpected suddenly happened.
A beam of divine light shot down from the sky, and the light enveloped Li Mu like a searchlight. At that moment, Li Mu suddenly felt a little dizzy.
His Cultivation Method became disordered and stagnant in an instant.
Konrad took the opportunity to escape and put some distance between himself and Li Mu.
A half-meter-long short sword fell from the sky toward Li Mu’s glabella. The sword Qi poured out like water from the Star River. It was otherworldly, but it was full of killing intent.
“Eight-foot Mirror, Great Snake Sword!”
Konrad cried out in shock when he saw the scene.
“Has the G.o.ddess of Swords of the Great Peace a.s.sociation from the Eastern Island taken action?”
Marshall was overjoyed.
He had heard that this G.o.ddess of Sword from the Eastern Island had always wanted to take revenge for her master who died in Hero Country. However, he didn’t expect that she had been hiding in the dark and suddenly took an action that instantly worked.
