Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262: Xuanwu Force Vein, Activate! (Part 2)
"Since you are so ungrateful, this Duke has no time to waste on you."
Duke Abel sneered, "Everyone in the Blood Clan knows that a man’s blood is not as tasty as a woman’s. However, I must tell you, your blood has successfully attracted me, and that is something to be proud of!"
"Who will take whose blood is still unknown!" Ye Haochuan sneered coldly.
"I haven’t seen such an arrogant junior like you in many years!" Duke Abel chuckled, "Let me show you my true strength!"
With that said, his figure disappeared once again. Of course, he didn’t vanish into thin air; it was just that his speed was so fast that the eye couldn’t keep up.
Crack~crack~crack~
Duke Abel, as if gone mad, relentlessly attacked the protective shield of the Genius Seven Kills Formation with the fierceness of a storm.
Initially, Ye Haochuan and the others didn’t pay much attention; they had enough confidence in the shield. But when the shield was attacked dozens or even hundreds of times, they suddenly realized that the shield’s light curtain had rapidly dimmed.
Damn, is he going crazy?
Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly and hurriedly infused the shield with his own spiritual energy.
But this clearly had little effect; with a "crack," the shield shattered into pieces.
"This blood, just the smell of it is exciting!"
At the moment the shield broke, Duke Abel appeared behind Ye Haochuan, his teeth less than a millimeter away from Ye Haochuan’s neck.
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat; this Duke’s speed was simply too fast, leaving him completely unprepared.
"Are you ready? I’m starting now!" Duke Abel’s voice was full of mockery.
Damn, just the thought of a man kissing his neck was disgusting!
A shiver ran through Ye Haochuan, and he snorted coldly, "Get away!"
"Heaven-Penetrating Barrier!"
This deadly danger forced Ye Haochuan to use his trump card of defensive divine skill.
The next moment, Ye Haochuan backhandedly slapped Duke Abel on the face, sending him flying.
The intent of the Heaven-Penetrating Barrier was to casually deflect an attack, but at this moment Duke Abel’s true form was the most threatening attack, so naturally, the barrier deflected his true form.
This scene, no matter how you look at it, seemed like a woman about to be molested angrily slapping a rogue. However, none of those present had this kind of dark humor.
Duke Abel was slapped flying, his already unhealed body receiving severe damage once again.
"You have angered this Duke; all of you die!"
Duke Abel shouted furiously, this time he didn’t disappear into thin air but charged directly at Ye Haochuan. From the sinister look in Duke Abel’s eyes, it was evident that he was using his full strength this time.
Ye Haochuan’s palms were dripping with cold sweat; the Heaven-Penetrating Barrier had consumed most of his spiritual energy. Now that Duke Abel was coming at him with full force, he suddenly didn’t know how to block it.
"Genius Seven Kills, Sacrifice Formation!"
At the critical moment, Ke Yan suddenly let out a light shout, and the Genius Seven Kills Formation transformed once again.
The next moment, aside from Ye Haochuan, the spiritual energy of the other six people was all offered up to the core of the formation, which then transferred it all into Ye Haochuan.
The Sacrifice Formation is the most dangerous formation within the Genius Seven Kills. Everyone’s spiritual energy is offered to one person, effectively rendering the others useless.
So, such a formation is generally only used in particularly perilous moments. However, the current situation did not seem to have reached this level.
But Ke Yan knew that if they did not quickly slay Duke Abel, relying on his mid-stage Nascent Soul spiritual energy, he could exhaust them to death.
Now was their last chance!
Once the Sacrifice Formation was activated, Ye Haochuan, whose Dantian had been depleted of most of its spiritual energy by the Heaven-Penetrating Barrier, instantly returned to a state of perfection.
This Sacrifice Formation was different from the Spiritual Sacrifice Melody of the Phantom Sound Pavilion. The Spiritual Sacrifice Melody merely replenishes the spiritual energy of its recipient, while the Sacrifice Formation not only replenished spiritual energy but temporarily elevated Ye Haochuan’s cultivation level.
"Core Formation Late Stage!"
Ye Haochuan was filled with emotion; the other six had sacrificed everything to him, entrusting their entire beings to him.
"Xuanwu Force Vein, activate!"
With a solid support behind him, Ye Haochuan unleashed his full power.
"Not good!" Duke Abel suddenly sensed a hint of crisis from Ye Haochuan and dared not confront him head-on. His figure flashed and disappeared into thin air once more.
"Even if you’ve gained immense power, so what? In the face of absolute speed advantage, all power is clumsy and useless!" Duke Abel’s mocking voice echoed from all directions.
"Is that so? Do you think you really run that fast?" Ye Haochuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
"What?" Duke Abel suspiciously turned his head, only to find that no matter how he ran, Ye Haochuan’s eyes were clearly locked onto him.
"How is this possible?" Duke Abel was slightly stunned, his face full of shock.
"What’s going on? Why did the Duke suddenly appear?" The surrounding members of the Blood Clan were bewildered.
Just now, Duke Abel had clearly achieved an extreme speed, making it impossible for anyone to catch his figure. But after Ye Haochuan spoke, he surprisingly stopped running and reappeared in the sky.
"Look, that Huaxia person has started attacking!" Another person saw Ye Haochuan waving a giant Light Sword towards Duke Abel and was instantly caught off guard.
"Duke, dodge quickly!" The Blood Clan shouted anxiously.
This sword swing seemed as if it could destroy heaven and earth. Even though they held Duke Abel in high esteem, they believed he couldn’t withstand it.
Yet, Duke Abel seemed not to hear them, merely staring blankly into Ye Haochuan’s eyes.
The giant sword was about to cut him down, and he seemed to finally realize the crisis, his face showing disbelief as he looked at the rapidly approaching giant Light Sword.
Despite his incredible speed, it was already impossible for him to escape at this moment. He could only withstand this sword attack.
"The true form of the Blood Clan!"
With a loud shout, Abel’s two pale arms suddenly turned a sickly crimson and rapidly swelled.
"You think you can kill me so easily?"
Two mountain-like hands clamped down on the giant sword from left and right, momentarily halting the sword’s momentum.
But in the next instant, the force upon the giant sword increased even further, and even his hands like the Holy Mountain could not bear it.
"No~"
Accompanied by his unwilling roar, the giant sword slashed down with an unstoppable might.
"Fooling me with illusion, how despicable!" Duke Abel cursed grudgingly, and then his body split, cut in two.
Although the constitution of the Blood Clan is unusual, such an injury was beyond repair.
Sigh~
Ye Haochuan collapsed to the ground instantly; that sword had exhausted all the spiritual energy he absorbed from his six companions. At that moment, he felt utterly drained.
"How is this possible? He actually killed Duke Abel?"
All the Blood Clan members were stupefied; the invincible Duke Abel they revered had been effortlessly slain by a group of Core Formation cultivators. They felt like their worldview had completely shattered.
"They are already at the end of their strength, kill them quickly and avenge the Duke!" A Nascent Soul cultivator from the Blood Clan suddenly roared angrily.
