Chapter 51: Old Ghost, It’s You!
Getting out of the car, Bai Yu looked at the monsters on the hillside.
Judging by their appearance alone, they were covered in flesh and blood, with some parts appearing black and red, their forms resembling a blood-infused version of Venom.
Accompanying this group of monsters were several smaller monsters with pale skin that looked like humans.
This group of attackers exuded an aura of evil!
‘Low-level Blood Slaves and Vampire Clan Modified Beings.’
‘Less than half of what was in the intelligence report has appeared.’
‘Especially the so-called Advanced Vampires behind them! I need to be cautious.’
‘Professor Feng is in the Spirit Yuan Realm, and the two Guard Teams combined have three Spirit Yuan Realm experts. The others in the Qi Gathering Realm are not to be trifled with either, so they should be able to hold off the initial assault.’
With this in mind, he decided to observe first and not immediately reveal his abilities, as that would make him more vulnerable.
“Roar~”
Suddenly, a Vampire Clan Modified Being charged forward and lunged.
“Boom~ Boom~”
The Thunder Launcher instantly fired electric arcs, some of which were dodged.
However, three lightning bolts struck its body.
After being hit, the monster did not appear to be severely injured and immediately accelerated towards the Guard Team members.
The Guard Team Captain unleashed a ferocious purple lightning serpent from his right arm and charged forward.
“Boom~”
But this kind of monster had too tenacious a life force! It could still get up after taking a heavy blow.
At the same time, three Blood Slaves also targeted Bai Yu.
One of the Blood Slaves lunged quickly, and Bai Yu immediately unleashed the power of his Scepter, firing a bright white lightning bolt that struck its shoulder.
Concurrently, the Spiritual Energy within him flowed rapidly.
Palm Lightning!
This power was not released outwards but was channeled into the Scepter.
Instantly, a giant palm print, one meter tall, slammed forward.
“Roar~”
The Blood Slave let out a seemingly terrified roar and tried to escape, but the lightning directly entangled its body, leaving it charred black.
The force of the Palm Lightning also pushed it towards the side of the Mountain Path, causing it to roll down, its fate unknown.
The engaged Guard Team Captain saw this and was somewhat surprised.
The first kill was actually taken by a young man.
Seeing this, he also called out at an opportune moment, “These monsters are not that scary! Don’t panic, everyone. Form up in a three-by-three formation and protect your teammates!”
After the command was given, the monsters were almost upon them, about thirty in total, which seemed manageable.
However, the formidable vitality of the Vampire Clan Modified Beings and their strange evil aura made them difficult to handle even for Spirit Yuan Realm experts, who were temporarily entangled.
The engaged Guard Team Captain was also contemplating how many enemies there were.
He had to conserve some strength to ensure their safety later.
Thus, the battle continued for about eight minutes.
Over a dozen Blood Monsters and one Vampire Clan Modified Being were killed, which also helped to ease everyone’s tense emotions.
But just then, strange roars echoed from the hillside again.
Judging by the numbers alone, there were over forty! And three more Vampire Clan Modified Beings!
The Guard Team Captain shouted sternly, “We must protect the two Professors!!!”
Saying this, he unleashed terrifying Thunder from his body, no longer holding back.
But while everyone’s attention was on the monsters above.
Suddenly, three black shadows darted out from the slope below the national road.
Due to the suddenness of the event, everyone was caught completely off guard.
Bai Yu knew the enemy had hidden means and that there were Advanced Vampires present, so his expression became tense. Sensing this, he no longer hesitated and drew a Talisman.
“Five Tripod Magic Array!!!”
In an instant, golden light appeared, and five giant golden tripods materialized, positioned in various directions, covering an area.
Both Vampire Clan Modified Beings were blocked.
However, the black shadow a short distance away was not covered by the magic array.
A black light flashed, and a Guard Team member with considerable combat strength had a bloodline appear on his neck.
“Ugh…”
In an instant, blood gushed out.
His teammate exclaimed, “Hu Yong!!!”
“Calm yourselves and continue fighting! Avenge our brothers!!!”
With someone dead, the emotions of those present became tense.
The battle entered a white-hot stage, with casualties mounting.
Even Professor Feng couldn’t help but get out of the car to join the fight.
Bai Yu was also being swarmed by several Blood Slaves, and he could only rely on his lightning Magic Staff to fight.
However, at this moment, his arm felt numb, and he even felt a sense of discomfort in his body.
Clearly, he could not adapt to the ferocious power within the Magic Staff!
Seeing this, Bai Yu immediately summoned the Golden Page that he had used for the Tracking Technique.
As soon as the Golden Page appeared, it instantly emitted a dazzling golden light. The Blood Slaves surrounding Bai Yu immediately let out pained roars, appearing to be severely injured.
Another beam of golden light floated out from the page and entered Bai Yu’s body.
That uncomfortable sensation instantly dissipated significantly.
“Phew~ That was close.”
Glancing at the situation on the battlefield, he no longer hesitated.
“Azure Cloud Sword Formation!”
In an instant, eight azure long swords appeared, cutting through the sky and attacking the surroundings.
Professor Feng and the others were all surprised.
They had initially thought that a defensive Talisman like the Five Tripod Magic Array, which was at the Spirit Yuan Realm Peak, was Bai Yu’s trump card.
But before they could think further, Bai Yu unleashed the ‘Spirit Severing Sword Talisman’.
A rainbow light broke through the air and instantly struck a Vampire Clan Modified Being next to the Guard Team Captain, piercing directly through it and splashing a large amount of blood.
The Spirit Severing Sword then moved rapidly, inflicting damage on multiple enemies.
This attack managed to boost morale slightly.
However, three Blood Shadows suddenly rushed out from the slope below, their aura extremely powerful, clearly not like Vampire Clan Modified Beings.
Bai Yu secretly thought: Heh heh~ I used all three of my items precisely to lure you out!?
However, three Clones are a bit troublesome.
The Five Tripod Magic Array, with its remaining energy, was instantly shattered. Two of the Azure Cloud Sword Formation’s swords were directly repelled and broken.
One of the Blood Shadows then charged towards Professor Feng.
Seeing the approaching enemy, Professor Feng’s pupils contracted. Spirit Yuan Realm Peak! Half-Step Spirit Sea Realm…
An aura exceeding level 25!
He was a master of fierce lightning, not skilled in defense, and wanted to retreat to avoid its edge.
However, a figure suddenly lunged from the side, blocking in front of him.
With a *thwack* sound.
A bloody hole appeared directly in this person’s abdomen, and blood splattered everywhere.
Seeing this, Professor Feng’s eyes were about to split.
“Zhou Wen!!!”
The Blood Shadow that had attacked Professor Feng stopped in mid-air, its brow furrowed in tension, looking extremely displeased.
Bai Yu also heard this voice and witnessed the entire scene.
But at this moment, a Blood Shadow was also attacking him… he couldn’t afford to be distracted.
Bai Yu no longer hesitated and directly threw the trump card Director Yang had given him – the blue Bead.
The blue Bead formed a vortex, stirring up a gale of Spiritual Energy and absorbing the surrounding energy.
The Blood Shadow attacking Bai Yu was suddenly startled by this sight.
“Spirit Sea Realm!”
The Blood Shadow quickly retreated.
Even the Blood Shadow that had intended to continue attacking Professor Feng dared not act further and quickly withdrew.
At this moment, Director Yang’s Phantom appeared.
Seeing so many people sacrificed, Bai Yu could no longer suppress his anger and shouted at the Phantom, “Kill him!”
Upon hearing the command, Director Yang’s Phantom immediately attacked, and the sky instantly darkened, with starlight appearing.
The three Blood Shadows merged into one. Seeing the astonishing scene behind him, countless thoughts flashed through its mind: How is this possible! They were prepared in advance!?
Seven beams of starlight descended from the sky, rapidly attacking.
Hesitating for just a moment, the person instantly released their Blood Qi, transforming into a thick blood mist, and struck out with a blood palm.
With a *rumble* sound, a massive energy shockwave erupted.
The blood palm seemed to have the upper hand.
‘So this Phantom only has this much strength!’
But before he could relax, a silver spatial gate appeared a hundred meters behind him.
A woman appeared.
Seeing this person, the Vampire Clan member instantly became terrified and tried to escape, but a silver halo appeared around it, instantly trapping the blood mist it had transformed into.
Without any hesitation.
With a *bang* sound, the blood mist exploded, creating a massive shockwave.
Three beams of blood light instantly fled.
The woman was about to pursue, but Director Yang’s voice rang out, “I’ll go. You handle the battle here.”
Hearing this, the woman waved her hand, and from the spatial gate behind her, over twenty silver lights emerged and entered the cave.
Li Yunbin and the others revealed themselves.
They immediately joined the battle.
With a Spirit Sea Realm expert present and multiple reinforcements, the battle naturally ended quickly.
However, nine people died in this battle!
After the battle, looking at the ground covered in red, everyone present felt a heavy mood.
Just as everyone was composing themselves and preparing to clear the battlefield, Professor Feng stepped forward with an excited expression and said to the woman in the sky, “Deputy Director Meng, I have something to say!”
“Professor Feng, what is it? Speak freely.”
Bai Yu was also curious about what Professor Feng wanted to say.
However, he found Professor Feng turning to look at him with intense hatred, his expression as if they had a deep-seated feud.
He angrily questioned, “This person is highly likely to be the Traitor who planned this attack!”
Hearing this, Bai Yu’s mind went blank.
His first thought was: Damn! Old ghost, it’s you!
