How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

The situation was grim for Lu Ling.

His true form had been exposed, and he had botched the task. Even if he returned to the Blood Race, death was inevitable.

"Fine, Brother Dong will join you in eliminating the Blood Race!"

The jester agreed readily, perhaps due to the other party's identity as a member of the Blood Race.

His body swayed as he stood up, and with a clench of his palm, a dozen silvery blades on the ground flew back to his hand.

"You're overestimating yourselves if you think you can kill someone from the Blood Race with just the two of you."

Lu Ling's expression darkened.

"This place is sealed by Brother Dong; you can't escape."

The jester didn't mince words in striking at Lu Ling.

Whiz!

At the same time, a silvery blade shot out, its runes flashing with a silvery light.

The jester was the first to make a move!

Zing!

Lu Ling, being small in stature, dodged swiftly, with a blood mist enveloping his body and the stench of blood filling the air.

At that moment, the jester sent out the remaining throwing knives in one go.

Thirteen throwing knives formed an intricate "Array," launching an attack.

Lu Ling growled lowly, blood waves tumbling about him as hundreds of blood-colored claws lashed out, meeting the flying blades head-on. The two forces tore at each other.

During the recent chaotic battle, Lu Ling's injuries were less severe than the jester's. As a result, he was able to calmly deal with the jester's attack, seemingly gaining the upper hand.

On the other side, Chen Yu immediately made his move.

Roar-hu-hu~

With a sweep of his hand, a blood-colored crystal flower drifted out. As it neared Lu Ling, it transformed into a sea of blood-colored fire that burned and spread along the blood mist.

If Lu Ling had been at his peak, the "Blood Crystal Flame" might not have restrained him, but precisely because he was gravely injured, Chen Yu collaborated with the jester to strike.

Roar-hu-hu!

Faced with the "Blood Crystal Flame" eroding his blood Qi, Lu Ling had to spend a vast amount of True Yuan to resist, subdue, and extinguish it.

"First, I'll kill you!"

Lu Ling's expression was ferocious as he glared at Chen Yu.

In his heart, he blamed Chen Yu for the predicament he was in.

And since Chen Yu was still wounded from his battle with the Night Winged Wolf, he was an easier target.

Gurgling-call~

In front of Lu Ling, the Blood Sea churned, forming a massive barrier of blood.

The Blood Skull rushed into it, and a ten-zhang-long colossal head appeared on the barrier, as if it were Lu Ling magnified dozens of times.

Huff, huff!

Lu Ling inhaled fiercely, and a huge blood-colored vortex appeared in the world, pulling at all the living essence and blood Qi within the space.

He made a killing move instantly, for he was at a disadvantage and needed to take the initiative.

On the ground not far away lay the flesh of a woman in black and a dark-skinned middle-aged man, along with numerous Shadow Wolf corpses, and more hidden Shadow Wolves, all of which now flew towards Lu Ling and were swallowed by him.

Chen Yu, still hurting from his fight with the Night Winged Wolf, had several unhealed wounds. Now, his blood began to surge, drawn towards Lu Ling.

Buzz-Bang!

The might of the Golden Winged Phoenix bloodline within Chen Yu's body erupted again, resisting the suction of Lu Ling's Blood Vortex.

Thump thump! Thump, thump, thump!

At the same time, his heart entered an intense state, greatly boosting his self-healing power, and the wounds on his body healed quickly.

Chen Yu's heart had been in that explosive state for quite some time during his fight with the Night Winged Wolf, and after absorbing the Holy Beast bloodline, it was unwise to enter that state again.

But to eliminate Lu Ling, Chen Yu couldn't care less.

Boom!

The first demonic pattern on his body surged, and he unleashed the Demon Extermination Claw.

This claw, infused with the "Blood Crystal Flame" and the fiery power of the Golden Winged Phoenix bloodline, was greatly intensified by their fusion!

Bang-Crash!

The black, red, and golden demonic Qi claw, interwoven with colors, charged towards the blood vortex, splashing a surge of blood.

It seemed that the vortex had the ability to weaken attacks; while Chen Yu's Demon Extermination Claw didn't deliver its full power, it still impacted Lu Ling, obliterated much of his blood Qi, and weakened the Blood Vortex's might.

Meanwhile, the jester didn't use other methods, as they had little effect on the Blood Race's Lu Ling.

He was wholly focused on controlling the thirteen unique flying knives, continually attacking Lu Ling and distracting much of his opponent's attention.

Moments later, Chen Yu's external injuries were healed, and the effect of Lu Ling's Blood Vortex Secret Technique on him diminished.

"Damn, this self-healing power..."

Lu Ling felt a shiver on his scalp.

His use of the Blood Vortex Secret Technique had three main purposes: to gain the upper hand and strike at the enemy, to absorb blood Qi for recovery, and specifically to counter Chen Yu.

Unexpectedly, in such a short time, Chen Yu's wounds had healed.

Moreover, with the Golden Winged Phoenix bloodline, the Blood Vortex Secret Technique posed no threat to Chen Yu but actually caused him greater consumption, forcing Lu Ling to retract his technique.

Chen Yu, possessing the power of the Spatial Realm, noticed the change immediately.

Boom!

The Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword struck down with a dark and tumultuous gloom, carrying a fierce demonic intent as it aimed for Lu Ling's head.

Knowing the ferocity of Chen Yu's weapon, Lu Ling spat out a viscous blood fluid, forming a sinister and ghastly blood-colored skull, which clashed fiercely.

Swipe-Pop!

The bone sword struck it, splitting the blood skull in two, yet it didn't fully disperse, showing signs of healing.

Yangming Sword Point!

Chen Yu gathered spiritual flames, pointing a single finger.

Swoosh!

A column of astonishing blood Qi burst forth, piercing the blood skull and dissipating the blood Qi in its path.

Chen Yu's Golden Wings flapped behind him as if he transformed into a phoenix shadow made of fire, approaching Lu Ling.

He first swung his left hand, releasing a swath of "Blood Crystal Flame," and then struck with the Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword.

"Damn it..."

Lu Ling found himself in a tough spot.

After all, on the other side, the jester's silver blade Array was also quite troublesome, occupying much of his attention.

From behind Lu Ling, a surge of blood light rolled out, transforming into a wave of blood that collided with the sea of blood flames. The two canceled each other out.

Bang-Crash!

Suddenly, the Demon Sword chopped down, breaking through all obstacles, a dark demon light slashing towards Lu Ling's head.

Swoosh!

Lu Ling could only retreat.

"Yangming Sword Point!"

Chen Yu once again deployed this perfected secret technique, which somewhat restrained Lu Ling and didn't consume much True Yuan, mostly depleting physical strength and "Blood Crystal Flame."

After the consecutive battles, Chen Yu had little True Yuan left.

Dodging the attack, Lu Ling's eyes widened, burning his blood energy and bursting with speed to evade once more.

Chen Yu had never underestimated the Blood Race's Lu Ling, and in his hands, the bone sword transformed into a bone spear and was thrown.

Whoosh!

As Lu Ling narrowly dodged the Yangming Sword Point, the black bone spear emitted a sharp exploding sound, turning into a daunting dark glow, swiftly piercing towards him.

Lu Ling's eyes were filled with deep red blood, burning his blood energy once more, exploding with speed.

It seemed Lu Ling would avoid the range of the bone spear's attack.

But suddenly, many spikes grew from the bone spear, showcasing the transforming feature of the "Nine Bone Demon Spirit Sword."

Whoosh!

The bone spear grew spikes, expanding its attack range, grazing past Lu Ling's head, leaving a pitch-black gash.

"Ah..."

Lu Ling roared distractedly, and the clown's knife array immediately broke through his resistance and descended upon him.

Thud!

Two large silver blades penetrated his skull, disrupting the flow of Lu Ling's True Yuan.

Seeing this, Chen Yu exerted force again, his fists wrapped in golden blood flames.

Chen Yu gathered his physical strength, channeled his Bloodline Power, and threw two punches in succession.

Boom! Boom!

Two surges of dark light, surrounded by golden-red flames, collided forcefully.

The weapons thrown, his fists were now powerful means of attack!

Boom!

An explosion rang out, and a huge storm spread in all directions.

A blood-colored head flew backward from the impact and crashed to the ground.

"To death!"

Chen Yu charged, controlling the bone spear to return to his hand, and thrust fiercely.

Ding-dang!

The black bone spear fiercely pierced through the blood-colored head, leaving a pitch-black crater on the ground.

However, the pierced blood skull moved in all directions, turning into hundreds, thousands of rays of blood light, scattering in every direction.

"Blood Body Thousand Technique, is this your confidence?"

The clown spoke with a cold laugh.

The Blood Body Thousand Technique, morphing into thousands of blood bodies, meant survival as long as one remained alive.

However, the more blood bodies that died, the more severe the damage to the cultivation level would be. If only one blood body survived, the cultivation level would likely fall to a state even lower than the Postnatal Qi Transformation.

Vroom!

Not far away, Array patterns emerged, instantly forming an Array Power that seemed to turn into a colossal transparent crystal palace, trapping all the blood light within, including Chen Yu.

"Now you can take your time and kill them all, once you've eliminated all the blood bodies, he's as good as dead."

The clown said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Chen Yu responded with a grateful look.

It seemed the clown was well prepared in advance for this tactic; otherwise, in such a complex environment, it would have been difficult for Chen Yu to annihilate all of Lu Ling's blood bodies.

Having said that, Chen Yu swept out with his bone spear, instantly annihilating hundreds of blood bodies.

"Chen Yu, don't kill me, spare my life, I can help you a lot..."

All remaining blood bodies, in unison, pleaded with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu's expression remained unchanged, the bone spear continuing its sweep.

He had a certain understanding of Lu Ling; such a person remaining would surely be a disaster.

Moments later, within the Array, the blood light vanished entirely!

The Blood Skull Clan's Lu Ling! Dead!

At the moment the battle ended, Chen Yu withdrew his Bloodline Power, stored the bone spear into his spatial container, and took out several Elixirs, swallowing them down.

"Now only the two of us remain, you're not going to kill me for the loot, are you?"

Chen Yu looked at the clown, inquiring.

Although he had met the clown before, it had only been a single transaction with no personal relationship.

"Heh, Brother Dong is quite weak now, although he has some chance of winning, today's luck isn't on his side, and he might capsize in the gutter."

"Moreover, if you hadn't acted just now, that Night Winged Wolf might already have eaten Brother Dong."

The clown smirked, sounding sincere, though his smile still seemed somewhat sinister.

Then, he took the initiative to dismantle the Array.

"That's good, I have no desire to be your enemy either."

Chen Yu smiled and walked deeper in.

The clown was too cunning and unpredictable, and besides, Chen Yu was planning to request his Artifact Refining services.

"I wonder what's left in this old lair of the Night Winged Wolf..."

The clown followed.

Soon, a massive skeleton appeared before them, which, based on the bones, was also a Night Winged Wolf.

This relic was nothing but bones, steeped in decay and a sense of eternity, yet still exuding an intangible aura of deterrence.

"The bones of the Night Winged Wolf... the Back Mountain Fire Ape... what happened here?"

Chen Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Based on Brother Dong's observations and some literature, this place was once the scene of a battle between kings, fought between the Back Mountain Fire Ape and the Night Winged Wolf."

"In the end, both mighty beasts perished together, but inside the belly of the Night Winged Wolf, there was a cub that survived..."

"Could it be the Night Winged Wolf we encountered just now?"

Chen Yu said, suddenly understanding.

"That's right. The body of the Old Wolf King became like this, probably because it absorbed all of its flesh and blood power."

"This Night Winged Wolf, at the beginning of its life, must have also absorbed a lot of power from the Back Mountain Fire Ape, hence the mutation..."

The clown continued.
