Chapter 3, Devastation
Breathless, Yin Xuejiao did not notice that the drop of azure blood in his heart had become increasingly dim. He had just broken through to the Star Warrior level, and his strength was significantly greater than that of an ordinary child, yet it was not to the extent of being flawless.
Although it is merely a drop of blood, this drop contains a vast essence of blood and a powerful lunar force, serving as a conglomerate of all the strength within a Yin clan warrior! As the quantity of this blood, referred to as "Blood Fairy Blood," continues to increase, the strength of these Yin clan warriors also continues to grow
A masterful strike! Look, the Achilles tendon of the Blood Song has been severed; this is an exceptionally precise blow! Ordinary enemies, upon receiving such damage, would no longer be able to keep up with your speed! Therefore, this is a crucial strike, one that lays the foundation for victory!
Even if you have advanced to Star Warriors, how much stronger can you be than me
Yin Xuege looked expressionlessly at those malicious children, knowing full well that it would be like this. Yin Xuejiao would definitely not let this opportunity slip by. He would absolutely not miss the chance to openly and reasonably beat him and humiliate him in front of so many people, in order to regain the face lost by him and his brothers in the past
No one cares about the motionless Yin Xue Ge lying on the ground, drenched in blood; no one cares about the bloodied Yin Xue Ge with tightly shut eyes. Everyone is in awe of Yin Xue Jiao's strength, a newly advanced Star Warrior compared to an ordinary child, the gap between them is indeed too vast
Everyone should clearly understand that the combat strategy of Blood Pride is the most effective tactic for our Yin clan warriors before mastering powerful 'Blood Techniques'
Only Yin Xuege did not give up; he tightly gripped the sword hilt, allowing Yin Xuejiao to kick him around the ground, permitting more and more severe wounds to appear on his body. Under the protection of the blood light, these injuries were not significant. He still possessed the strength to fight, or rather, he still maintained the power for a single strike
At last, as another sword pierced into Yin Xuege's left chest, a transparent hole appeared in his chest. The brilliance of the azure blood on Yin Xue suddenly extinguished, and his body suddenly went limp, stumbling and collapsing directly to the ground—his strength had been completely exhausted
You worthless wretch, you do not deserve to live in this world at all
However, as the era of decline arrives, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth dissipates, and those orthodox cultivators turn to ashes as their lifespans are exhausted. Yet, Yin Tianjue, relying on the evil instinct of the Blood Demon Clan to devour human essence, allows him and several elders of the Yin family to survive the calamities of the era of decline
Yin Xue, in a state of breathlessness, rushed back and forth, repeatedly inflicting severe harm upon Yin Xue Ge.
The pale blue essence and the ordinary blood within his body engaged in a wondrous exchange of energy, with strands of pale blue power continuously flowing into Yin Xuejiao's entire being along with the ordinary blood, constantly enhancing his physique and sharpening his senses. As Yin Xuejiao charged forward, he instinctively sensed that his speed was more than twice that of his usual pace, and his overall strength had also significantly increased
This is a unique combat technique of the Yin clan warriors! The Blood Demon clan possesses incredible speed; however, in comparison to their astonishing velocity and sharp reflexes, their strength and physical resilience are not particularly remarkable. Therefore, the warriors of the Blood clan are more adept at mobility or long-range magical attacks
From the moment the Chronicle of the Blood Song began, he understood that in this city-state of the Yin clan, filled with malice, survival could only depend on oneself
Yin Xuege was struck again and sent flying. After taking a heavy blow to his lower abdomen, he curled up on the ground, a mouthful of blood rising to his throat, but he forcefully swallowed it down. The metallic taste of blood in his mouth became even more intense, as the bowl of blood essence he had just consumed was now working within him, continuously nourishing his body and allowing him to regain a bit of strength
The power contained within such blood is exceedingly weak, even much weaker than that of ordinary humans. However, as the young ones continuously consume the essence of external blood and simultaneously absorb the latent energy from the moonlight, their strength will gradually increase
The Blood Song of Yin erupted! With a swift turn, his long-prepared right hand struck fiercely towards the proud Blood of Yin, and a soft sword suddenly sprang forth from his hand
Blood flowed from Yin Xuege's wound, but he took a deep breath. The unique constitution of the Yin clan allowed the blood that flowed from his wound to quickly return. Under the dual effects of the essence of blood within his body and the blood flame, Yin Xuege's injuries were rapidly healing
Yin Xuege slightly bent down without any expression on his face, and with a swift motion of his hand at his belt, a black soft sword, three feet long and merely an inch wide, was grasped in his hand. Breathing steadily, the cold power hidden within Yin Xuege's blood rapidly spread throughout his body, and his aura became faint and elusive. He felt his body brimming with strength
They feed on blood, relying on it to strengthen their bodies, using the vigorous life force within the blood to dispel the cold energy from the essence of moonlight, and employing unique secret methods to become increasingly powerful
After shouting the name of Yin Xue Ge three times in succession, Yin Xue Jiao's body suddenly created three afterimages and lunged towards Yin Xue Ge
The children standing on both sides widened their eyes, listening to Yin Jiying's introduction while admiring the brutal injuries inflicted on Yin Xuege by Yin Xuejiao.
Song of Blood! Song of Blood! Song of Blood!
Struggling to swallow the blood in his mouth, Yin Xuege shook his head and suddenly broke into a bitter smile
However, as the era of decline arrives, the spiritual veins of the Eastern world collapse, and the path to the celestial beings is severed; in the Western world, the gods and demons vanish, and the once-mighty sacred mountains and abyss of demons are completely closed. With incredible courage, Yin Tianjue leads the elders of the Yin family on a daring expedition across the ocean to launch a surprise attack on the Blood Demon clan's sanctuary in the Western world, plundering the sacred blood of the Blood Demon and transforming himself into a Blood Demon body
Yin Xuege's heartbeat was rapid, his body trembled slightly, and his complexion turned pale!
However, before Yin Xuege could fully recover, Yin Xuejiao charged forward once again. He flaunted his speed flamboyantly, creating several afterimages that circled around the fallen Yin Xuege for over ten rounds. With a flick of his soft sword, he silently left more than ten deep wounds on Yin Xuege, exposing the bone beneath.
The demon clan's talisman in the Blood Flame of the Twelfth Regiment emanated a warm blood light, and the injuries of the Blood Song were rapidly healing
If a single strike fails, retreat a thousand miles away, and never engage the enemy in a fight to the death
When facing a formidable enemy and lacking the strength for a decisive blow, it is advisable to target the opponent's joints and vital points, then use our speed to wear down the enemy and exhaust them. This is the best choice for low-tier warriors of the family during combat
With his hands clasped behind his back, he took a few heavy steps back and forth, coughing heavily to assert his authority in the presence of the young ones. Yin Jiying then continued, "Therefore, today's practical training session will involve each of you taking turns to spar with Xuejiao. Who among you is willing to take the initiative and be the first to receive guidance?"
All the power of the Yin clan comes from their blood. They rely on their blood for existence, and their strength is also hidden within their own blood
One hundred children were divided into two lines, standing on either side of the Children's Hall, leaving a central space measuring one hundred meters in length and width.
Look, the attack point chosen by Xuejiao!
Upon seeing Yin Xuege suddenly draw the standard soft sword issued to the Young Master, Yin Xuejiao let out a chilling laugh. His handsome yet fierce face twitched violently as he cast a resentful glance at Yin Xuege. With a swift motion of his hands at his waist, he similarly grasped a soft sword tightly in his hand
This unique drop of blood is the greatest difference between the regular warriors of the Yin clan and the young ones
The children of the Yin tribe possess strength that is even inferior to that of ordinary human warriors. Any competent human soldier can easily defeat several times the number of Yin tribe children. However, once the Yin tribe children absorb enough blood, acquire sufficient moonlight essence, and accumulate enough evolved blood within their bodies, they can evolve into formal "warriors"
You wretched bastard, you despicable spawn who has insulted the entire Yin clan. I will make you understand that you are nothing but a lowly scoundrel, unworthy of the noble surname of the Yin clan. You do not deserve the name you currently bear
If fists are ineffective, then use feet, use teeth, use nails, or simply fight with one's life!
With the fallen Yin Xue Ge as the center, Yin Xue Jiao laughed sharply while sprinting rapidly. He created afterimages, circling around Yin Xue Ge, occasionally closing in on him, leaving behind a series of piercing wounds on his body.
According to the clan rules of the Yin tribe, any newly advanced warrior must undergo a period of continued training within the Hall of Youth, engaging in combat with other youths who have not yet advanced. This serves two purposes: first, to refine the internal strength of these newly advanced warriors, and second, to allow those who have not yet advanced to experience the true power possessed by genuine warriors
"Yin Xuejiao, let me see how strong you have become as a formal warrior!"
Yin Jiying furrowed his brows, casting a discontented glare at Yin Xuejiao, and then called out Yin Xuejiao's name with emphasis
The children were admiring the cruel torture of Yin Xuejiao on Yin Xuege, while Yin Jiying was methodically analyzing each of Yin Xuejiao's attacks, assessing whether they were targeted or merely a waste of effort
Then, I am very pleased to show you just how powerful a true Yin clan warrior can be
Yin Xuege felt a sudden darkness before his eyes; he had not even caught a glimpse of Yin Xuejiao's figure when a sharp pain shot through his right shoulder
Yin Xuejiao's soft sword pierced through Yin Xuege's shoulder, and a stream of blood gushed out like an arrow. Before Yin Xuege could cry out in pain, Yin Xuejiao had already withdrawn the sword and retreated quickly. However, as he was retreating, he kicked up and struck Yin Xuege on the chin with his foot. Yin Xuege let out a muffled groan, his head snapping back, and his emaciated body flew up like a leaf in the wind, soaring several meters away.
You damned bastard, after all these years, none of us brothers have been able to bring you down, how is it that you just won't die
A large spurt of blood erupted, and suddenly a frenzied roar echoed from outside the grand hall
"I have no regrets! I am not afraid either!" Yin Xuege clenched his fists and slowly walked out of the ranks
The children remained silent, their expressions turning quite strange as they almost simultaneously turned to look at Yin Xuege. They knew that the first person to receive guidance would undoubtedly be Yin Xuege! Everyone was aware of this; Yin Xuejiao knew, and Yin Jiying was even more acutely aware of it
At the onset of the battle, the right shoulder that was pierced has now recovered under the treatment of Blood Flame, and at this moment, the right arm of Yin Blood Song maintains its full combat capability
At that time, his status in the East was so inconspicuous that it was even more awkward and unbearable than the current position of Yin Xuege within the Yin clan
The Yin clan is a family that is not tolerated in the Eastern cultivation world, while also being feared and excluded by the dark forces of the West, yet they are helpless against it
This is for the blood servant you killed last time
I am a wild breed, I am the lowly breed in your mouths, yet I have repeatedly beaten you until your heads are broken and bleeding! I want to see how much stronger you, who pride yourselves as the noble descendants of the Yin clan, truly are compared to me
Accompanied by a piercing scream and the furious roar of Yin Jiying, the soft sword of the Blood Singer sliced through the neck of Yin Xuejiao like a frenzied venomous snake, cleanly and neatly severing half of his neck.
Yin Xuejiao successfully broke through on the night of the full moon last night, as he finally condensed such a blood fairy blood within him, transforming from an ordinary weak child into a formal warrior of the Yin clan
If it were someone else, they might misunderstand that Yin Xuege is afraid, in fear! However, the individuals within the palace of the young ones do not think this way. When those young ones saw Yin Xuege in such a state, they almost instinctively took a step back simultaneously—including Yin Xuejiao, who had just made a breakthrough last night, advancing from a young member of the Yin clan to a Yin clan star warrior.
A muffled sound echoed, followed by a sharp pain in the back, as if all his internal organs had been violently shaken. Yin Xuege felt a wave of darkness before his eyes, his mouth agape in confusion. His jaw had taken a heavy blow, causing him to bite through his own tongue, and now his mouth was filled with a strong metallic taste of blood
A powerful "warrior" that exceeds the imagination of ordinary people
The ancestor of the Yin clan, Yin Tianjue, was merely an inconspicuous figure in the Eastern cultivation world before the arrival of the end of the Dharma age, when the heavens were still filled with immortals and Buddhas, and in the Western world, the gods and demons were still engaged in an endless war.
Within each mass of blood flame, a talisman of the demon clan, roughly the size of a fist, emerges. These demon clan talismans possess extraordinary powers, enveloping the hall in a crimson light, granting the young members of the Yin clan formidable self-healing abilities. Even if their bones and limbs are broken during practical combat lessons, as long as they are bathed in the blood light and aided by the essence of the blood they just consumed, their injuries will heal rapidly.
As their strength continues to grow, the color of their hue will gradually deepen, the viscosity of their blood will constantly increase, and energy will continuously aggregate and condense within their blood. When the first drop of azure blood successfully coagulates within them, it signifies that their strength has transcended infancy and they have been promoted to a powerful "Star" warrior
Yielding is futile; no one will let him off the hook
One's own blood seems to be more exquisite than that of those blood slaves! Of course, this is only natural, as the plasma of those blood slaves is mixed with too many herbs, making it less delicious than fresh blood!
The practical lessons for the young lord are governed by strict prohibitions. Although everything is based on real combat, attacks on the true vital point of the Yin clan members—the heart—are not permitted. Therefore, Yin Xuejiao did not deliver a fatal blow to Yin Xuege; instead, he continuously inflicted one cruel wound after another on Yin Xuege, allowing him to experience endless suffering
Thus, all members of the Yin clan are blood demons
Bastard! You are seeking death!
Crying is of no use; no one will sympathize with him
Since the bloodline has already broken through, according to the rules of the Family's Young Master Hall, newly advanced young masters will remain in the Young Master Hall for three months of secluded training. One purpose is to familiarize themselves with their surging power, and the other is to provide practical and theoretical combat guidance to those who have not yet broken through, helping you understand the true power of a warrior and illuminating the path forward for you
The so-called blood demon is said to be a hybrid of a powerful Eastern demon and a Western bat demon. Such an aberration is not recognized by heaven and earth, inverts the attributes of yin and yang, does not enter the cycle of reincarnation after death, and is incompatible with the five elements, making it a thorough monstrosity. In the Western world, they are simply referred to as "vampires," a cruel and terrifying species
This is for the last time you broke my arm
The dull sound of breaking wind echoed again in the air, and Yin Xue Ge had not yet risen from the ground when Yin Xue Jiao charged towards him once more, delivering a kick to his lower abdomen that sent him flying far away. Subsequently, the sound of breaking wind quickly faded, as Yin Xue Jiao had already distanced himself at the fastest speed.
What is meant to come will ultimately come; he cannot avoid this battle
As the greatest humiliation in the history of the Yin clan, a thorn in the eyes and a pain in the flesh for all the elders of the Yin clan, Yin Xuege has known since childhood that as a "hostage" of sorts, no matter who seeks to deal with him, he can only clench his fists and strike back fiercely
Yin Jiying's voice echoed softly
Yin Xuejiao's body trembled slightly as he suddenly came to his senses. His face turned crimson with a mix of anger and embarrassment. He muttered a curse under his breath and then strode over to Yin Xuege, beginning to scold loudly.
All the strength was concentrated in the right arm, and Yin Xuege's entire body was pressed against his right hand. Even though his left hand and both legs had their crucial joints and tendons severed time and again, his right arm remained intact and still possessed immense strength
Thus, the first actual combat: Yin Xuejiao versus Yin Xuege! Everything is based on real combat, and neither side is allowed to hold back
This is for the teeth of Blood Phantom and Blood Shadow that you knocked out last time
Blood Song! Do you want to be the first to challenge me? Very well, you are quite bold! I admire your courage!
This is for the last time you bit into the neck of the bloodthirsty!
Yin Jiying stood in the middle of two rows of troops, his smile not reaching his eyes. He cast a glance at the arrogant Yin Xuejiao and then nodded with a smile.
Timidity is of no use; no one will help him
Standing to the side, Yin Jiying swiftly darted away, letting out a dry grunt.
In the inner chamber of the young lord, twelve blood-red flames, each the size of a human head, floated in the air, emitting a gentle blood light that illuminated everything within the grand hall
Strike true, launch a frenzied attack, and fight the enemy to the death!
The blood of ordinary children is somewhat lighter in color compared to that of regular individuals, exhibiting a splendid light pink hue.
The heart of Yin Xuejiao beat violently, and within it floated a drop of blood the size of a thumb, emitting a faint blue glow. This single drop of blood contained more than half of Yin Xuejiao's entire strength. This drop of blood was the symbol of Yin Xuejiao's breakthrough to the Star Warrior level
