Chapter 171: Sacrifice Clue (B)
“What’s going on? There’s no one here?”
Laura looked at Su Jiu and saw a faint smile on his face. She quickly sensed her surroundings and found that no one was actually attacking.
Although she had been promoted to the War General Level, the battles she had experienced might not even be half of Su Jiu’s. She couldn’t sense the subtle wrongness in the atmosphere around them.
At this moment, there was a flapping sound above the car roof, and a black shadow flitted past the car window. With a squeak, several large black bats suddenly tried to get in. Yun Xi, sitting by the window, was looking at her phone with her eyebrows lowered, seemingly looking at some game guide.
Seeing the bats charge in, Laura’s first reaction was to push Su Jiu, who was sitting in the middle, and shout, “Aren’t you going to help your sister?”
Su Jiu turned his head slightly and found Yun Xi still playing games. He raised an eyebrow, rolled his eyes, and said, “There’s no need for us to worry about this girl.”
She knew why so many people had died there back then. She guessed they were all killed by this silly girl. After all, no matter how silly she was, she was still a Vampire Grand Duke. Her temper could be seen from her gaming habits.
She was extremely irritable. Gentleness was just a pretense for others. Su Jiu really worried that she would deceive herself.
But Su Jiu knew the strength of his “god-sister.” However, others didn’t know. The hook-nosed vampire uncle’s face changed, and he quickly stopped the car and shouted, “Miss Su Jiu, this is a vampire transformation. Quickly help this white-haired lady to drive them away!”
Hearing the uncle’s voice, the black bats’ eyes flashed red. They seemed to have found an easy target and lunged fiercely at Yun Xi.
Just as the bats were about to pounce on her face, and even beginning to condense into human form, Yun Xi didn’t take it seriously. She just twirled the silver hair at her cheeks, glanced at Su Jiu, puffed out one of her cheeks, and then deflated it, softly saying, “What useless servants.”
With that, a majestic blood energy surged from her body, which shocked everyone present except Su Jiu. Then, the blood energy turned into small waves, like a fishing net, directly catching the bats, and then – they were directly devoured and dissipated.
After that, countless fishing nets appeared outside the car. Those small bats, regardless of their level, were easily devoured without even reacting, leaving no bones behind.
“This… is she also a War General Level?”
This move stunned the other three people present, and they all gasped, contributing to global warming.
The hook-nosed middle-aged man’s face showed a solemn expression. He stared intently at the transparent fluid that was as clear as red wine, feeling a threat from it.
Condensing and dangerous… it seemed like mist, but it was actually as viscous as liquid. Ordinary War Generals couldn’t reach this level.
Moreover, one must know that he was a High-Rank Battle General expert. The fact that mere energy fluid made him feel threatened proved that the other party was at least a High-Rank Battle General, or even…
a Peerless Battle General! Just one step away from reaching the Battle King Level that everyone yearned for!
After doing all this, Yun Xi acted as if nothing had happened, leaning on Su Jiu’s shoulder and continuing to play her phone, like a pampered wife.
Then, he came back to his senses and praised repeatedly, “After many years, your Sword God family has become so strong. This white-haired lady is probably a Peerless Battle General.”
“Peerless Battle General?”
As soon as this was said, the bald youth felt as if his brain had been scalded with boiling water. He shivered and looked at Yun Xi with some fear.
He suddenly remembered that it was this girl who had killed most of Viscount Zian’s people…
Su Jiu was somewhat helpless with their reactions. Why were they always so surprised?
However, amidst his helplessness, there was a hint of pride. Looking at Yun Xi leaning on his shoulder, he felt a little smug: No matter how powerful she was, she was still my little girlfriend.
“We need to hurry inside and take a look. I have a feeling something has gone wrong in the family.” The hook-nosed middle-aged man quickly regained his senses, and the car drove straight in.
In a short while, the car drove onto a main road, and soon they could see their clansmen. The Lobey family members were holding various weapons, looking well-prepared. In the middle of them, a middle-aged man in yellow brocade was confronting a white-haired young man with a buzz cut.
“Old sir, marry the clansman who obtained the bloodline to me, or be prepared to be… You can choose freely,” said the white-haired young man. His voice was not loud, but it exuded immense arrogance. His blood energy impacted the surroundings, and behind him was a cloaked phantom, indicating that he was also a High-Rank Battle General expert.
However, in Su Jiu’s opinion, there was a reason for his arrogance. Although he was far inferior to the silly girl, in this Lobey Family that had no Battle Kings, he could cause trouble.
The small bats from before were likely his doing.
As the youth finished speaking, the middle-aged man opposite him said coldly:
“Impossible, please go back. Tell your father, Count Sam, that our Lobey family will not participate in his troubles. Stop testing us.”
“You should know that although my Lobey family has declined, there are still some Battle Kings who owe us favors. If you disturb my Lobey clansmen again, I don’t mind spending some money to teach the Old Count a lesson.”
At these words, the youth’s face became considerably grim. He sneered twice, “You said so yourself. I hope you don’t play any tricks behind our backs.”
With that, he turned to leave. With a wave of his hand, countless flapping small bats flocked from the nearby trees and telephone poles, gently lifting him.
Seeing Su Jiu and the other looking confused, Laura explained to them, “That young man is Ryan, the son of Count Sam. His strength is comparable to the Old Patriarch. He probably saw my grandpa coming to pick us up and wanted to intimidate us.”
Seeing Ryan already in mid-air, everyone got out of the car. Su Jiu and the other two also got out of the car. They just watched the youth’s actions quietly, without intervening.
However, the white-haired young man Ryan seemed to have noticed something. A look of astonished admiration appeared on his face. He waved away the small bats and walked towards Su Jiu and the other two, saying elegantly,
“I wonder if these two young ladies would be willing to grace my castle with their presence for a meal?”
The hook-nosed middle-aged man quickly reacted. He suddenly opened the car door and blocked in front of Su Jiu and the other two, asking in a low voice, “Viscount Ryan, I am still here. What are you trying to do? They are honored guests of our family.”
The middle-aged man in brocade watched this scene from a distance, frowning but not stepping forward to say anything. The hook-nosed middle-aged man had similar combat power to him, so there was no need to worry too much.
The white-haired young man Ryan glanced at him, a look of faint disdain showing in his eyes. He said contemptuously, “Foreigners who intermarry with humans are truly despicable. Get lost! I just want to communicate with that young lady.”
Then, he turned sideways, smiled, and spread out a hand towards Yun Xi with much elegance, slowly saying, “Are both of you ladies from the Blood Clan? I can sense your uniqueness. If possible, I would like to invite you to dine at my castle…”
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Xi’s soft voice rang out, concise and to the point, with no extra meaning.
“Scram.”
