That was why no one thought that the Blood Devourer Blade would actually exist. On the battlefield… Holding the Blood Devourer Blade in his hand, Sergio looked at James with a solemn expression and said, “I will say this now, James. This sword possesses a unique ability. Your blood will be instantly drained the moment you make contact with it. This is not a fight to the death, and I do not wish to harm you. Please concede defeat.” Sergio’s voice boomed. “Concede defeat?” James smiled faintly. He would never concede defeat. He must obtain the dragon’s blood and information on the dragon’s whereabouts. He needed to slay the dragon and use its blood to save Thea’s life. James waved his hand, and the Primordial Dragon Blade flew toward him. Holding the Primordial Dragon Blade in his hand, he could feel the power the sword radiated. At that moment, he was imbued with a sense of confidence. “Come at me.” He brandished his sword. “Since you have a death wish, I guess I shoul
Blood trickled down James’ wound incessantly after his arm was scratched by the Blood Devourer Blade’s Sword Energy. Under normal circumstances, he should be able to catalyze True Energy to stop the bleeding. Now, however, as if drawn away by some outside force, he could not stop his blood from gushing out no matter how hard he tried. “Damn it! What’s going on?” James panicked. He hurriedly retreated a thousand meters. Sergio did not give chase. Standing a kilometer away, he looked at James and yelled, “James, I told you that your blood will be fully drained once you come into contact with the Blood Devourer Blade.” Although there was a distance between them, James could still clearly hear his voice. James hurriedly catalyzed True Energy to suppress the bleeding. However, the blood continued to flow incessantly. At that moment, he hurriedly pulled out Crucifier and began inserting needles around his wound. Almost immediately, the blood flow stopped. Only then did he breat
His face was pale, and there was blood trickling down his lips. “What in the…” Everyone’s eyes were glued to the battle. James’ move was so terrifying that they thought Sergio would be killed. However, they did not expect someone to appear in the nick of time and deflected James’ Fourteen Heavenly Swords, thereby saving Sergio in the process. At that moment, even the First Blood Emperor was confused. “Who is he? Is he a hidden powerful martial artist in our clan? How terrifying could he be to withstand that attack?” If even the First Blood Emperor was in a state of confusion, there was no way others would know the identity of the man. “T-Thank you, Father,” Sergio spoke. At that moment, realization dawned on everyone’s faces. He was Harland Walchelin, the father of Sergio Walchelin and the son of the Dragon Slayer Kaiden Walchelin. He was a ninth-rank martial artist. However, he had let his guard down. He did not expect James’ move to be this powerful. At that moment, h
Harland’s words made James breathe a sigh of relief. He no longer had any remaining strength to continue the battle. If the Blood Race reneged on their word, there was nothing he could do. He smiled and sheathed the Primordial Dragon Blade. Sky, on the other hand, also breathed a sigh of relief. The member of the Blood Race who managed to block James’ Primordial Dragon Blade must have possessed enormous strength, so he did not wish to come to blows with them. Since the Blood Race was willing to hold up to their end of the bargain, Sky was naturally content. In the distance, many cheered. Bennett walked over to James and said smilingly, “Not bad, James. You managed to master the Fourteen Heavenly Swords. I seriously never expected that move to be this terrifying. If I’m not mistaken, the one who battled against you was a martial artist at the Ninth Stair, while the one who blocked your attack was a ninth-rank martial artist.” “Ninth-rank?” James looked at Harland. That man w
“How wise of you, Father.” “Go. You’re already exposed. Now that the Solean martial artists have noticed you and found this place, we shouldn’t remain here for long. We will quickly leave this castle, while you will remain here and guard the place. I want you to stay calm no matter what happens. If the ninth-rank martial artists from Sol come knocking, simply feign ignorance. In any case, you must not allow them to make a move against us.” “Understood, I will keep your words to heart.” “Go.” Kaiden waved slightly. Sergio did not linger for long and hurriedly left. At the same time, James was resting in a room. After consuming the elixir Thomas gave him, his True Energy gradually recovered. However, since all of his True Energy was depleted, he needed at least a few days to completely regain his strength. Knock! Knock! Knock! A knock came on the door. James stood up and answered the door. Standing by the door, the First Blood Emperor smiled. “James, the Grand Patriar
Harland sighed. James was able to possess such strength at such a young age despite not having a master to guide him. Unwilling to drag out the conversation any longer, James asked straight away, “Where’s the dragon’s blood?” Harland waved. Then, a transparent bottle flew toward him. A red liquid could be seen inside. He handed it over to James and said, “This is dragon’s blood left behind by my ancestors a millennium ago. Legend has it that it allows one to attain immortality. However, no one could really verify the claims.” James took the bottle and scrutinized it. “Is this dragon’s blood?” “Absolutely.” “Alright, then.” James put the bottle away and asked, “What about the information regarding the dragon’s whereabouts?” Harland pulled out an ancient scroll from his pocket and handed it over to James. James opened it. It was a map. Harland said, “This is a map created by my ancestors. The dragon can be found in Dragon Abyss, a location that has been marked on
As he spoke, he looked at James and asked, “Did they mention a specific location?” James shook his head and said, “Nope.” Sky scrutinized the map for some time before saying, “In that case, we should return for now and use a satellite map to search for the location. This shouldn’t be too hard.” “Let me see.” James reached out. Sky handed the map over to him. However, James did not look at the map but instead stored it away, saying, “I’ll keep the map in safe custody for now. We’ll figure it out once we’ve returned.” Sky could not care less. Even if James learned of the dragon’s whereabouts, he would not be able to slay the dragon by himself. Only by mobilizing every single martial artist from Sol could they stand a chance. After some time, a member of the Blood Race appeared with an apparatus for storing blood in his hands. James opened the equipment carefully and poured half of the dragon’s blood into Sky’s bottle. Then, he said with a smile, “Now that I’ve given you t
James tried convincing him. “My Fourteen Heavenly Swords can definitely wipe out a martial artist at the Ninth Stair. However, Harland Walchelin was able to block my attack with ease. Even the combined strength of every single martial artist from Sol might not stand a chance against him. “Unlike you, I don’t have a death wish.” Actually, James could stand a chance against a ninth-rank martial artist. He had mastered the Invincible Body Siddhi which allowed him to drastically boost his defensive capabilities. Even against a ninth-rank martial artist, he could still stand a chance. Now, however, he simply did not want Sky to create trouble for the Blood Race. Sky was enraged. James was speaking the truth. He did not possess the strength to wipe out the Blood Race. “Damn it!” Sky clenched his fists, and a vein popped out in his neck as he cried out, “Mark my words! One day, I’ll annihilate the Blood Race.” “Alright now, cheer up. We should return for now and verify the authent
