The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 55, Humans Are Really Strong

"Selena, how could you betray the clan, betray Lord Victor!"

Faced with Selena's candor, some death walkers were extremely excited, while others looked bitter and helpless:
“Impossible, Selena. You know, every one of us Deathwalkers is given the Embrace by Victor himself. He has absolute bloodline control over us… Even if what you say is true, we can’t possibly stand on your side, we don’t even have the right to be neutral. If Victor gives the order, even if we are unwilling, we must turn our swords against you.”

The blonde female deathwalker also shook her head and said:

“Not only can we not disobey Victor’s orders, but even you yourself might not have the courage to shoot him when facing him. Selena, wake up, you can’t defy Victor. Even if what you say is true, that Victor killed your parents, destroyed your homeland, and fooled and used you for hundreds of years, at most you can only escape the clan, get away from Victor, and take revenge on him… You can’t do it.”

Faced with the death walkers' persuasion, Selena remained expressionless and slowly said:

“Victor lied to me, saying that werewolves killed my parents and relatives, so I have been hunting werewolves for hundreds of years out of hatred. My determination for revenge is that obsessive. Now that I know the truth, do you think I would put aside my hatred and run away? I can understand that you cannot disobey Victor’s orders, but if that’s the case, I cannot let you go back.”

One of the death walkers angrily shouted, "Are you going to kill us?"

“No,” Selena said calmly. “I’ve said it before, you are not enemies I must kill. So, I will capture you and imprison you temporarily until I fight Victor to the death.”

A tall, muscular death walker, exuding a tough-guy aura, said in a deep voice:

“Selena, we all acknowledge that you are the strongest and most outstanding Deathwalker. But no matter how strong you are, can you take on ten of us by yourself? Or perhaps…”

He looked at Li Xingzhou:

Do you think this human can help you?

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly, his face serious:
"Humans are very strong."

"Then let me see just how strong you are!"

The tough, handsome Death Walker let out a fierce shout, his figure blurred, and he pounced on Li Xingzhou like lightning.

In terms of strength, vampires are inferior to werewolves, but in terms of agility and speed, vampires far surpass werewolves.

At this moment, the Death Walker suddenly launched his attack, his figure almost turning into a blur. Ordinary people's reaction nerves simply couldn't keep up with his movements. They probably wouldn't be able to make any effective reaction until his heart was ripped out and his throat was torn apart.

however.

As the Death Walker lunged at Li Xingzhou and reached for his heart with its claw, Li Xingzhou's lips curled up, and a mocking smile appeared in his eyes.

"He can keep up with my movements? How is that possible?"

The moment the thought crossed the Death Walker's mind, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. The claw that was reaching for Li Xingzhou's heart was inexplicably deflected and redirected by Li Xingzhou with a strange and calm movement, piercing the Death Walker's own heart instead!

"Look, humans are really strong."

With a skillful use of borrowed force and shifting of stars, Li Xingzhou, who had retaliated against the Death Walker's claw attack, spoke earnestly. At the same time, he grabbed the Death Walker's neck with his right hand, lifted him high with one hand, and snapped his neck with a crack.

While this attack wasn't fatal, it did render the Death Walker immobile for a short period.

Li Xingzhou tossed the dead traveler to the ground, then casually flicked his sleeve, sending out four silver stars that pierced the dead traveler's joints.

Those four silver stars were the steel needles imbued with the "curse of weakness".

With his limbs pinned to the joints by these four cursed steel needles, even if his cervical spine heals itself, the Death Walker will be unable to get up and fight again. "Want to try again?"

Li Xingzhou looked with a smile at the group of Death Walkers whose expressions had changed drastically and were filled with shock:
"As your future boss, I think I have demonstrated sufficient strength and sincerity. Perhaps you should be more rational and stop making futile resistance?"

The blonde deathwalker bit her lip and said sharply:

"As death walkers, we will never surrender without a fight!"

Li Xing raised an eyebrow: Does that mean you can surrender if you lose?
Great, I like this rational approach.

This is also because they are the group of deathwalkers closest to Selena within the Victor clan.

They, like Selena, looked down on the nobles who lived a life of debauchery and only knew how to give orders to them because of their status.

As for Victor...

For the last century, Victor has been in hibernation. Where has he found the time to develop a relationship with the Death Walkers?

They only rely on the suppression of their bloodline to be unafraid of the betrayal of the Death Walkers.

However, when another option appeared, these death walkers, deep down, actually leaned towards Selena, who had led them and fought alongside them on the front lines for many years.

Now, they need an excuse to convince them, and they also need Li Xingzhou to demonstrate the strength to protect them.

Li Xingzhou's insightful eyes could certainly see through the thoughts of the Death Walkers.

He smiled as he drew a rapier from the umbrella handle, tossing the silver-plated rapier, now imbued with the "Curse of Weakness," to Selena. He then slid two similarly cursed "Advanced D9" tactical daggers from his sleeve, smiling and nodding at the vampires.

"Then let's have a good fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed off the ground with his toes, leaned forward, dragged his two daggers behind him, his trench coat fluttered as he became a blur, shooting out like an arrow released from a bow.

Selena, wielding a rapier, sped off at full speed, keeping close behind Li Xingzhou.

The nine Death Walkers opposite them also drew their short daggers and charged towards Li Xingzhou and Selena.

Sa!
Amidst the sharp, swift sound of a blade slicing through the air, Li Xingzhou's Strider D9, no more than a foot long, suddenly unleashed a blade aura half a foot long, abruptly extending its attack range by half a foot. This caught the Death Walker, who was at the forefront of the attack, off guard, and the blade aura grazed his wrist, severing his tendons on the spot.

Then Li Xingzhou used the "Illusory Demon Body Technique," his figure appearing like a ghostly phantom as he passed by the Death Walker.

In the instant they brushed past each other, he unleashed a flurry of stabs with his two short daggers, striking the Death Walker from the left shoulder down to his waist and hips in one fluid motion. Finally, he delivered a backhand stab to the back of the Death Walker's neck, severing his cervical vertebrae and completely paralyzing his mobility.

As the Death Walker fell to the ground, five more Death Walkers rushed forward, two charging head-on while the other three flanked him, launching a pincer attack.

Li Xingzhou laughed heartily, his twin daggers flashing with dazzling light as he advanced instead of retreating, charging forward fiercely to meet the attack.

In an instant, figures darted about rapidly, flashes of cold light and whistling winds of blades filled the air. Drops of blood splattered out, only to be pulverized by the blade winds and dispersed into a misty haze...
