Chapter 2: Mutual Reckoning
A bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating all over the place, and a few stars breathlessly surrounded the moon, watching their own light being completely overshadowed but unable to do anything about it. A bat-like black shadow landed on the platform of the seventeenth floor. Liao Xiaojin covered his scorched chest and cursed frantically, "Damn! Those old undead, I only evolved into a tiny baron last month, and they want me to do such a dangerous thing, tracking down the Holy See's Light Priest, even though the other party's status isn't that high, but it's not something I can deal with as a tiny little Viscount, ah! Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have been burned into a roasted bat by the holy light!"
Curse after curse, Liao Xiaojin greedily absorbed the essence of the moon, an extremely subtle green light shot down from the moon and cast into Liao Xiaojin's mouth, and the chest that was scorched by the holy light gradually grew.
"In the name of the Lord, dispel the evil in the world." The holy light that appeared out of nowhere bombarded Liao Xiaojin who was chatting about his injuries with the help of the moonlight, and with a loud bang, Liao Xiaojin was bombarded seven or eight lengths away and almost didn't fall down the stairs, dropping a corpse without any bones left.
"I can't imagine that the Blood Clan still dares to develop their descendants in China!" A foreign middle-aged man with blonde hair and deep blue eyes with a hint of demonic appeared on the rooftop. Looking at the Blood Viscount who was scorched all over and moaning in pain there. Anthony was then excited. ''Oh Lord! A baron who was only seriously injured after being hit by God's Baptism without any magical defense. Didn't die. It's too magical. The physique of the Orientals was too amazing. However, under the light of the Lord, the magical Orient will also be conquered by us. Take your heart core back and offer it to the Lord Bishop. The Lord Bishop will be pleased. This is the blood of the East!"
Drawing out a thin sword obviously with a western style like a trick, Anthony proudly stabbed towards Liao Xiaojin's chest, a blood mist suddenly burst out from Liao Xiaojin's body, the thick blood mist covered his body at once, Anthony froze for a moment, "Blood Escape Magic, want to run. Can you run away? Being injured so badly and still being able to use Blood Escape Magic, it really gives me too much amazement!"
"In the name of the Lord." The holy light from Anthony's hand shone three lengths away, "Ah!" With a miserable scream, Liao Xiaojin fell to the ground and laughed bitterly, there was no way, the difference in strength was just too great, although he deliberately hid his strength, wanting to mix pigs and eat tigers. But an ecclesiastical light priest is not a baron of the blood race to deal with. Even evolving into a Baron wouldn't work.
"Damn it, put up a fight!!!" Liao Xiaojin put his hands together in front of his chest, ink recited a few incantations, thick dark aura emerged from his body, two fangs were born from the corners of his mouth, tear! The clothes on his back were torn, and two pitch-black bat-like wings stuck out from his back. "Tsk!!! Tsk!!!" The smile on Anthony's handsome face remained unchanged, "I've underestimated you, I never thought that you'd evolve into a Viscount soon. But what's the use? Go and meet Satan! Light of Judgment!!!" A seemingly soft bit of white light emerged from Anthony's head, and in the blink of an eye, the entire rooftop was shrouded in the illumination of holy light, the Light of Judgment, is the holy light that triggers the Lord God in heaven by pious believers to eliminate all the dark creatures in the world, and it is immensely powerful. When Liao Xiaojin was illuminated by the Light of Judgement, his body's black aura immediately disappeared without a trace. The body emitted a wisp of black smoke, "Ow! Ow!" Liao Xiaojin let out a painful howl. Anthony, however, did not catalyze the power of the holy light, as if he was intentionally tormenting this Eastern Blood.
"Urgent! Five Thunder Orthodoxy!" Brush! A green-colored sword qi directly tore through the light of judgment that enveloped the rooftop, and seven to eight feet long thunderbolts descended from the void, heavily bombarding the smug Anthony. Wind and water turn, this year to our family. Exactly answering this ancient saying, at this time, Anthony, all scorched black, emitted a paste stinking smell, "Who?!" Anthony was dazed by the thunder and lightning, just wanted to ask loudly. He saw a huge iron block with a square of four feet smashing down towards him. This is not good enough, being smashed in the iron will definitely be bones and flesh into mud, becoming a piece of meat cake, absolutely no reason to survive.
Anthony roared, used all his strength to leap to the side, escaping from the fate of being smashed into a meat cake, strangely enough, the iron block smashed on the rooftop's concrete slab, but did not make a sound at all, and under Anthony's bulging eyes that almost fell out, the iron block with a circumference of four zhang quickly shrunk into a four-inch-square seal, and flew back to the hands of a masked man standing at the edge of the rooftop.
"Chinese monks?!!!" "A magic treasure?!" Thinking about how before he came to China, the Lord Cardinal had urged him a thousand times to be careful when he came to the East, and never to start a conflict with the Eastern monks. Anthony then broke out in a cold sweat, the dreaded abbot! Mysterious monks! His Grace the Bishop had spoken of himself with a bit of disdain at the time, but now he finally realized that he could actually drive thunder and lightning as a means of attack, as well as that magical magic treasure that could be big or small. Everything was beyond the limits of one's imagination.
Anthony's brain just short-circuited for a second, a huge pain in the neck, Liao Xiaojin was struggling to support, trying his best to resist the power of the light of judgment, if not for Anthony's intention to torture, it would have already gone up in smoke. Suddenly the pressure is loose, and see each other all black, like a serious injury in general, where still can't hold back, regardless of the good and bad will pounce on, biting the other side of the neck wildly sucking blood. The blood race is to come to the speed of excellence, Anthony a moment not quite actually got into the way.
"Aha! The blood of a Light Sacrifice, it's a great tonic, after sucking him dry, I'll soon evolve into a Viscount."
With another wild roar, Anthony did his best to push out the holy light in his body, although he had just received a heavenly thunderbolt, and half of the holy power in his body was shaken away, but how can I say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, isn't it? With a bla bla bla, Liao Xiaojin was directly ejected three feet away, his wings and fangs were shrunk back, and he appeared as a human being. And Anthony wrapped in a ball of holy light, floating to the edge of the rooftop, about to use the sacred recluse method to escape.
The masked man shook his head, "Cutting off the grass to get rid of the roots, ah, if it's not my kind, its heart will be different!" The green light reappeared, a sword light that was ten feet long and one feet wide slashed towards the mass of holy light, ah! Anthony screamed miserably, his vitality was greatly injured, that could withstand the sharp sword qi transformed by the Taiyi Essence Gold, he was split in half with one sword, and the ensuing huge iron seal smashed him into a meat cake. Noiselessly, blood splattered Liao Xiaojin all over, Liao Xiaojin dumbfounded watching the masked man threw out six pieces of jade, hazy green light, there are hidden tiny runic record flashes of jade floating in the air, composed of a taiji graphic, a red light from the taiji graph, shining on the ground, immediately residual blood, meat was burned into a smoke, a breeze blowing over, disappeared without a trace. Liao Xiaojin swallowed his saliva violently, thinking: "This person's Taoist law is strong, and also acted ruthlessly, not a drop of water can seep through. He is a person who does great things! Why don't we pull the strings, there might be unexpected results." Having been a vampire for several years, Liao Xiaojin had long since learned to be shrewd.
With the movements learned from ancient martial arts movies, Liao Xiaojin sang a fat promise: "Thank you senior for saving my life. I can't thank you enough! I have yet to ask for senior's honorable name?"
Zhou Qing almost laughed out loud, his own recent cultivation greatly improved, full of true essence, on the formation of a deeper understanding of the road, and also comprehended the refining of the General Outline of a few not very powerful formations, have the intention to try out the power of the bitter no test move object, who knows sleepy to come someone to send pillows, happen to have someone to fight, and the fight location in the vicinity of the Zhou Qing is close to the middle stage of the cultivation of the qi attraction where there is a feeling that can not be The When he thought of the benefits he had gained from the last time, Zhou Qing's heart was hot. When he saw that it was actually a fight between the Holy See and the vampires, he was even more curious, during his studies, Zhou Qing had read many fantasy novels with vampires as the protagonists, and he had a good feeling about the bloods, but he hated the Holy See, especially when he saw that the bloods seemed to be Chinese, he made up his mind to save the poor bloods. How to say also can not let the foreign devils kill Chinese people is not it?
Anthony strength is quite strong, positive fight, Zhou Qing to win will never be easy, to kill each other I am afraid that they also want to hang heavy color. But the sneak attack is different, Taiyi Jingjin transformed sword gas how sharp, easily tore the light of judgment, coupled with the recent production of the Five Thunder Jade talisman, invoking the innate lightning elite, Anthony where there is no reason not to be seriously injured, but in the case of serious injuries can also escape their own triple killer: small Fandian seal a hit, Zhou Qing also greatly surprised a number of. If it wasn't for that vampire's sneak attack that bought a little bit of time for him to condense his second sword qi, he might have escaped, and that would have been a great deal of trouble.
The moment his mind turned, Zhou Qing learned the lessons of this time, just in time to hear Liao Xiaojin speak, for this vampire, Zhou Qing is not too worried, the strength is too weak, what is the movement of their own sure can be killed in seconds with a sword! Just take this opportunity to ask about the situation of foreign blood clans and the Holy See. After all, knowing more things is not a bad thing!
"This is not the place to talk, follow me!"
On the way, he made a few small disorienting formations, and after a big turn, turning a small vampire around, Zhou Qing brought Liao Xiaojin to his residence.
"Senior's magical powers are boundless!" After seeing Zhou Qing's face, Liao Xiaojin was amazed, originally looking at the strength Zhou Qing showed, how to say it should also be a look of immortal style, long beard floating fairy, who knows it is so young. The Chinese Taoist art is really amazing ah, it seems that the legendary immortality is true ah! Even for us vampires, we can only live for a thousand years or so ah, and will still get old slowly ah. Liao Xiaojin's eyes rolled around, not knowing what he was thinking.
"You don't have to be surprised, my actual age and looks are the same, but it's you Bloods, I really don't understand, I can't tell your age." Zhou Qing naturally knew what Liao Xiaojin was thinking, and his tone took on a bit of an inquisitive tone.
"Ah! The actual age and appearance are the same, which means that he has cultivated this kind of aptitude when he is only in his twenties, and is at least the strength of a Marquis or above of our Blood Clan ah! How is this possible! How is it possible!" Liao Xiaojin's head short-circuited again for a few seconds, hearing Zhou Qing's inquiring tone, he still respectfully replied, "Senior Liao Xiaojin, was turned into a Blood Race three years ago, senior's age is twenty-six years old." Although he knew that the other party's age was probably even younger than his own. Liao Xiaojin still referred to himself as a junior, strength was paramount, this was something that no one, no existence, was exempt from.
Zhou Qing finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What era is it now, you think you're making a movie! Funny as hell, my name is Zhou Qing. You can just call me by my name."
Seeing Zhou Qing being so good at talking, Liao Xiaojin also laughed, and the distance between the two of them instantly became a lot closer. "Big Brother Zhou, your skills are really impressive, you took care of that Holy See's Light Priest in one go, I'm sure there's no one who's a match for you, right?" Liao Xiaojin asked tentatively. In his heart, he was calculating, "Ah, ha! Quite young, if I get the cultivation secret method or something from him, then I will surely evolve very quickly, Edward that kid even sense to rob my Jenny, I'll suck your blood dry and turn you into my blood slave, and that old geezer Kulak, isn't he just an earl? If it wasn't for you, how could Jenny be taken away by Edward, that little Viscount? Twenty years ah, this kid is only in his twenties and he's even more powerful than a marquis, then me?!" Liao Xiaojin's eyes flashed with a hideous fierce light.
"There are many people who are more powerful than me, I'm only just getting started, you have blood dripping from your chest all the time, it seems like you've been injured rather seriously, how come you're acting as if there's nothing wrong with you?" Zhou Qing was also more curious. This statement Liao Xiaojin did not feel surprised, after all, Zhou Qing's strength with be stronger than a Marquis, but the Blood Clan still had Dukes, Grand Dukes, and Princes! Not to mention the Chinese mainland.
"Our blood race's physique regeneration ability is extremely strong, even if an ordinary descendant bleeds dry as long as timely sucked fresh blood also won't die, and our kind of blood race with rank grows a heart core as long as it absorbs the moonlight, soon back to recover." Liao Xiaojin replied truthfully, "Besides! It seems like I recover several times faster and evolve faster than ordinary Blood Clans." After a pause, Liao Xiaojin still said the question that had been troubling him for a long time. By doing so, he also sort of revealed a little bit of his own little secret, so as to gain Zhou Qing's trust.
"Oh, it's the time of the full moon," Zhou Qing walked over to the window and pulled open the curtains, the light green, watery moonlight shone in, a good full moon in the middle of the sky, Zhou Qing secretly sighed. Liao Xiaojin nodded, low roar, wing fangs suddenly flashed, Zhou Qing sharp eyes, only to see that cyan moonlight, a little tiny silver-white things quickly drilled into the mouth of Liao Xiaojin, and in the heart part of the scattering a little bit, and disappeared, and the body's wounds slowly, the naked eye can vaguely see the speed of the growth up.
"En, it turns out that the blood race is cultivated with the most Yin Qi in the Tai Yin Star's ah! But from the theory of Taoism, yin and yang are not in harmony, right? With so much pure Yin Qi accumulated in the body and no Yang Qi to harmonize it, the more it accumulates, sooner or later something is going to happen, oh! No wonder they want to suck blood, blood is originally the most rigid and yang thing ah! Huh! Why don't they suck the sun star's innate true yang energy? Wouldn't it be better to harmonize yin and yang that way?" Zhou Qing couldn't think of a clue, looked at Liao Xiaojin who was sucking vigorously and shook his head. "This Blood Clan is also odd, after shedding so much blood, it's actually as if nothing happened?"
After strumming a few spirit symbols, the "Taiji Qiankun, Taoist True Flame" six jade tiles were thrown out, about to scorch away the blood that Liao Xiaojin had dripped on the ground. This was a means Zhou Qing had recently realized, using the formation of Taiji, together with his own true essence to trigger the innate fire element, the Dao Xin True Fire was issued, although it was far inferior to the Three Flavors True Fire. But for melting general artifacts and refining steel, it was sufficient.
The high temperature of the red light, which was enough to melt gold and turn iron, shone on the mass of blood, but it did not receive an effect, as the dots of golden light in the blood flickered and faded, and managed to cancel out the red light. Zhou Qing was shocked, his eyes almost fell out, how could it be possible, although he had only used one layer of true essence to catalyze this Taiji Off-Fire Formation. It was a piece of iron that quickly melted, let alone a tiny ball of blood.
"Urgent! Collect!" Collecting the Taiji Flame Separation Formation. Zhou Qing quickly swooped over to the mass of blood, stretching out his finger to dip a drop, carefully sizing it up, a faint trace of divine thought analyzing it through his true essence. The records on the General Outline of Refinement flashed rapidly in his head: Jiu Li Sacred Blood, Chi You Heavenly Vein.
In an instant, countless thoughts emerged from his mind, glancing at Liao Xiaojin who was fully absorbing the Supreme Yin Qi, Zhou Qing pulled out a jade bottle and carefully collected the mass of blood.
"Gotta give you some favors for that, otherwise how would you follow me with a dead heart!" "Heaven and Earth Xuan Mai, Tai Hua Power, Haste!!!" Again, those six jade tiles were thrown out and floated above Liao Xiaojin's head. This time, what was emitted was not the Dao Heart True Flame, however, with Zhou Qing's ever-changing Spirit Technique, the Taiji Diagram formed by the jade tiles continued to rotate, faster and faster, faster and faster, with powerful suction! Countless channels of moonlight were forcibly pulled into the diagram, and then, a teacup-thick silver pillar of light shot out from the diagram, and threw into Liao Xiaojin's mouth, Liao Xiaojin was first shocked, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and his breathing tightened up.
