I Have A Martial Dao World

The sisters were already in the "calm and constant" state of Spirit Refinement, naturally possessing the abilities to move at will and at 0.5x speed.

At this moment, Liao Qe placed her hand on the revolver at her waist, took a deep breath, activated 0.5x speed, and swiftly drew her gun, announcing, "The time has come."

With a thunderous bang, a .50 Magnum bullet whistled out of the chamber and struck Vampire Mark, precisely taking out his right lower leg.

The huge silver revolver barrel emitted white smoke, Liao Qe blew on it pompously, performed a few flashy spins with the gun in her hand, and then holstered it with a small look of self-satisfaction.

Lu Yao applauded and cheered, "Incredible, a precise hit from a hundred meters away!"

The three approached where the vampire Mark lay, who was holding his leg that was missing a chunk and moaning lowly; from the gaping wound, a thick, ink-like substance rolled and flowed.

They injured but did not kill the enemy, clearly having ulterior motives. Mark clutched his wound tightly and growled, "Ok, ok, what do you want to do!"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I have three pets that need to awaken their ancient bloodlines through combat and achieve evolution by following the laws of nature."

As he spoke, three Spiritual Sparrowhawks circled high above the group.

Lu Yao continued, "You make very suitable prey; now, you may begin your performance."

After speaking, he waved his hand sharply. The next second, three shadows streaked across Mark's body!

Immediately three deep, bone-deep gashes appeared on his body, with the ink-like substance churning and spilling out from the wounds.

Mark cried out in agony, cursing vehemently, "FuK! You sons of bitches raised by dogs!"

Wounds appeared on his arms and torso, but if he hadn't dodged a bit, it would have been his eyes and throat that suffered!

Mark began to flee into the distance on all fours.

Lu Yao was a bit nervous and expectant, "This vampire has the strength of the Organ Refining Realm, still too formidable. I wonder if it will work."

Liao Ya consoled, "He's forced to show his trump card and has suffered serious injuries, I think it should be fine."

Talking, the three of them quickly pursued.

Although the pets needed to fight for life or death, the guardians must watch over them from aside and intervene at any time.

~~~~~~~~

Far away, in the village that had narrowly escaped destruction, the surviving villagers were just coming to their senses.

They emerged from their cellars, wielding rudimentary weapons, cautiously scouting around to confirm that all the bandits had been exterminated, and were immediately overjoyed!

However, the number of survivors was just over a hundred, mostly women and children, each bearing injuries. Out of anger, they dealt additional blows to the fallen bandits!

An enslaved Black Slave, who was only lightly wounded, kept begging for mercy, "I too was captured and sold into slavery, please spare my life..."

But since he had just attempted to bombard the cellar with a cannon, his contrasting demeanor had been noticed by many, and naturally, they were not inclined to spare him now.

He was impaled through the lung by a dung fork and died in agony.

~~~~~~~

At this time, Lu Yao was anxiously watching his beloved pets fight for their lives.

Being bipedal and missing a leg greatly affected him, Vampire Mark's combat effectiveness drastically reduced, but in his death throes, he became exceedingly ferocious.

Mark leaned against a large tree to prevent attacks from behind while steadying his body; his ten fingers grew claws an inch long and wildly swung them around.

The three Spiritual Sparrowhawks, fearless, dived one after another to attack!

Their diving speed was slightly faster than their wild counterparts, reaching 400 kilometers per hour, or 110 meters per second.

And since the speed of an arrow is around 100 meters per second, they were truly like swift arrows in their speed!

Moreover, the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks coordinated impeccably, executing a combined attack.

```

Just as Ji Xiang and Ru Yi diverted the vampire's attention, Ping An folded its wings and dove like an arrowhead, its sharp beak slicing fiercely across Mark's neck.

But the vampire's head was the vital part, not the neck; Mark actually roared in fury, swatting Ping An with a claw, sending it flying away!

Lu Yao gasped in shock, but Ping An had only lost some feathers and, fluttering its wings, flew up again. Although it seemed skewed, it should be okay.

The hollow bones and light yet tough feathers of the sparrowhawk greatly resisted physical attacks.

And Mark, unable to escape, could only passively wait for death by a tree. After several severe hits, the ink-like substance seeping from his wounds grew less and less until there was nothing left, and his strength faded away.

Mark pleaded with his last bit of strength, "Listen, you don't have to do this, I can pay a substantial ransom…"

Lu Yao didn't speak, only pointing towards the distant village, where cries could be heard, and thick smoke from burning bodies rose into the sky. Experience more on empire

In Mark's desperate howl, Ji Xiang and Ru Yi pecked out his eyes, then Ping An dove down and ripped a foot-long gash in his chest.

Mark stood still, then gradually crumbled into dust.

~~~~~~~~

At this moment, all three Spiritual Sparrowhawks were injured, missing feathers and skin, and blood seeped from Ping An's body.

Lu Yao and the others quickly approached, first feeding them a Wisdom Spirit Pill, then copiously transferring Inner Breath to the little ones.

Lu Yao immediately entered Spirit Refining State, using Inner Breath to prompt the birds' blood circulation, stabilizing their injuries.

The little ones were quite spiritual, rubbing against the three with their smooth, soft neck feathers.

Once their conditions stabilized, Lu Yao took a deep breath and pulled out three chicken egg-sized Blood Cores.

The three Spiritual Sparrowhawks circled eagerly at the sight, anxious to eat.

Their fierce battle was for this very moment.

The three Blood Cores could be used to refine at least 30 Wisdom Spirit Pills, but Lu Yao fed them directly to the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks.

They bit down, stretched their necks upwards, and swallowed. Afterward, they seemed a bit drowsy.

Bringing the babies back to the vehicle, they were allowed to rest comfortably.

The Sparrowhawks needed ample rest to absorb the Blood Cores and evolve through the gradual awakening of their ancient bloodlines after the life-and-death struggle.

Lu Yao let out a long sigh, "It all depends on whether they can make it tomorrow!"

The sisters cheered the little ones on, "They'll be fine!"

The car moved slowly, with surviving villagers continuously kowtowing towards them in the distance.

Meanwhile, outside Jinling City

The Einheit commander, Hebu, dressed in civilian clothes, watched the walls of Jinling with keen interest. He was the same commander who had previously invaded Jinmen with the United Fleet.

Beside Hebu stood a clergyman in a bright red robe – a Cardinal no less!

A Cardinal boasting the right to elect the pope was definitely a prominent figure within the Church.

The Cardinal prayed, clutching the triangular Holy Emblem at his chest.

Hebu turned to him and said, "Bishop Faville, Shun Dynasty troops have buried explosives beneath this section of the wall. Standing 60 feet tall and 40 feet thick, this wall is very solid.

This time, nearly 70,000 pounds of explosives are being used. Interestingly, the Shun Dynasty army's chosen detonation point is the same breach point used by the Mahayana Sect to conquer Jinling in the past."

Bishop Faville opened his eyes, his face flushed with excitement, "That means—we'll breach the walls soon! We are about to see an incarnation of the Lord in this world, what an immense honour!"
