Chapter 813: Praise And Escape

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The black shadow spoke in a husky voice, but its tone was filled with a sense of majesty and prestige, as if it ruled over all living beings.

It pointed a single finger at all the Demonic Blood Beasts that were materialized from blood.

“Godsend, all demons in this world submit to me!”

A red rippled spread from its fingertip throughout the entire heaven and earth as it spoke.

All the Demonic Blood Beasts that were materialized by An Lin suddenly faltered in their advance, as if they had been frozen in mid-air.

An Lin could feel his power being overwhelmed, followed by a complete loss of control over the Demonic Blood Beasts.

The Demonic Blood Beasts’ powers climbed yet again as they turned to An Lin with sinister smiles on their faces.

“Do you see that? I bestowed power, intelligence, and sentient will upon them. This is the true power of life. What do you think?” The black shadow looked at An Lin with its crimson eyes.

An Lin’s lips twitched slightly upon hearing this. What was this question supposed to be? Was it trying to get An Lin to compliment it?

Heh… Expecting An Lin to compliment an enemy? What a joke!

He was the invincible Sword Immortal An Lin! The Tamer of Divine Lightning who feared no lightning! How could he possibly praise an enemy?!

“As expected of a mighty figure proficient in the power of life! I am in awe of your power!” An Lin joined his hands in salute as he praised.

The black shadow’s eyes faltered slightly.

“I apologize, Senior. We were trying to escape the Almighty Reversal phenomenon and accidentally encroached on your territory. If there’s nothing else you would like to say, then I will be taking my leave,” An Lin continued.

The black shadow: “…”

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

Gluttony, which had just fled to the black shadow’s side, was also a little dumbstruck.

This was clearly not the reaction they had expected.

The black shadow was expecting An Lin to be unconvinced, upon which it would personally beat these two humans into submission before capturing them. But An Lin was not delivering according to the script. He really did give it compliments before bidding farewell…

Xu Xiaolan quickly understood An Lin’s intentions, and she began to surreptitiously inch backward.

An Lin didn’t want to be such a coward, but he had just evaluated the situation, and he wasn’t even sure if he could beat these several dozen Demonic Blood Beasts that had been enhanced by the black shadow.

If that was the case, then how was he supposed to beat the big BOSS controlling the Demonic Blood Beasts?

He had just unleashed his divine sense to try and detect the black shadow’s aura, only to find that he was unable to do so. This made the situation scarier.

An extremely powerful enemy of unknown power level was always an extremely daunting prospect to face.

The enemy forces consisted of a terrifying enemy of indeterminate power level and Gluttony, which was at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Initial Stage. On his side, there were two Soul Formation Stage cultivators, Gundam Three, and two useless cheerleader beasts. There was also a third force consisting of a half-cooked groundhog. How the hell was he supposed to fight?

It was quite clear that they had no chance of winning!

It simply wasn’t worth taking such a big risk just for the Kirin Blood Jade!

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan slowly backed away while keeping an eye on what the black shadow was doing the entire time.

“You want to run?” The black shadow came to a realization.

An Lin shook his head. “How can this be called running? There is no vendetta between us. We’re just here to survey the scenery and now we’re leaving.”

“Not only did you kill my Demonic Blood Beast guards, but you also killed my pet as well, and you still say there is no vendetta between us?” the black shadow said in a cold voice.

An Lin: “…”

An Lin had no response to that, but he was still slowly retreating.

As for Ao Niu, the frog, and the groundhog, they were even faster in retreating.

F*ck this! Even An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were running away, what the hell were they going to stay here for? Were they waiting to be eaten?

The black shadow seemed to be preparing an attack, so Xu Xiaolan immediately offered an explanation, “What we did was self-defense! Your guards and Lust wanted to kill us, so we could only retaliate. We couldn’t just allow ourselves to be killed, right? And in the process, we accidentally killed them!”

“Self-defense?” The black shadow blinked. “Hmm… That makes some sense…”

“Bah! Blood Lord, why are you wasting so many words with them! Let’s eat them!” Gluttony urged at the sight of the retreating humans, but the black shadow did not heed its words.

“Calm down. This is my house, so they won’t be able to escape without my permission.

“I’m a reasonable person. Tell me how I can rebut their arguments!” the black shadow replied in a slightly distressed voice.

Gluttony was a little dumbstruck by this question.

It had always just eaten anyone it didn’t like and had never talked sense or reason with anyone. If everything could be resolved through words, then why did it grow teeth?

If it couldn’t win in a war of words, then it would just eat its opponent!

“We don’t actually have to be reasonable.” Gluttony thought for a moment before suggesting, “Only weaklings turn to words and use reasons as their weapons. The strong can do whatever they want as no one can hold them accountable anyway!”

The black shadow hesitated momentarily. “But I wouldn’t feel justified then.”

Gluttony was unconvinced. “Reason stands with whoever has the biggest fists! There’s no need for justification!”

The black shadow paused momentarily again. “Reason stands with whoever has the biggest fists? That sounded barbaric. I want to be a cultured person…”

“Blood Lord, you’re not a person!” Gluttony corrected.

“Sigh…” The black shadow heaved a forlorn sigh.

The sigh was quite a faint one, but it was as if the entire heavens had just heaved a disconsolate sigh and all the creatures of this world were lamenting as a result.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan, as well as all the fleeing beasts, also heard that sigh. They didn’t even get a chance to react before the sea of blood on the ground began to glow with scintillating light.

“The blood is churning,” the black shadow murmured in a slow voice.

Boom!

What seemed like the power of an entire continent swept toward them and the sea of blood surged at once, as if they were demons latching onto everyone’s bodies.

“Moo! My body, moo!” Ao Niu yelled fearfully.

“Ribbit! I want to go home! Let me go home! Ribbit!” The Divine Poison Frog’s feet were locked in place by the blood on the ground, and it tried to skip free to no avail.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were not exempted from this either. The power of the sea of blood had merged as one, and the binding power it unleashed was indescribably fearsome.

The black shadow stepped forward and appeared before An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.

The darkness enshrouding its body slowly disappeared to reveal its true form.

This was a man in a simple white robe with fair skin and a warm smile on his face as he joined his hands in a polite salute. “I apologize. I’m going to have to be unreasonable for once. There is something I need you to do, and I can’t wait any longer.”

This was a graceful middle-aged man who evoked a sense of comfort and calmness in the onlooker’s heart… if one could ignore the kirin horn on his head and his crimson eyes.

“A kirin horn? Could you be…” An Lin’s eyes widened.

“That’s right, I am the Demonic Blood Kirin,” the middle-aged man confirmed with a smile.
