The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 75, Victor's Recovery
The Blood Knight, dressed in a long overcoat, missed his arrow and realized that Li Xingzhou was a formidable opponent. Just as he was about to draw his bow again to attack the old man, Li Xingzhou flicked his wrist and threw the arrow back, which he caught and it shot back with a whoosh, hitting the bow arm precisely and breaking the half-drawn longbow of the Blood Knight in one fell swoop.

The Blood Knight tossed aside his longbow, drew his cross-shaped sword with a clang, twirled it gracefully, made a provocative gesture towards Li Xingzhou, and whispered:
"Is all you can do in a fight is rely on women and children? If you're a real man, let's have a one-on-one duel!"

Li Xingzhou shook his head with amusement:

"What level are you in? Even your ancestor Marcus wasn't worthy to say such things to me."

He snapped his fingers and pointed at the Blood Knight:

"Crush him."

Selena drew the cross sword from her back, Hit-Girl raised her dagger, and Big Daddy put on a pair of brass knuckles. They all charged toward the Blood Knight. Emma, ​​who had regained some of her strength, also summoned her Mind Imagery Mystic.

In less than two seconds, the cool-looking Blood Knight was torn to pieces and scattered all over the ground.

"Ha, is this the level of the vampire lord's royal guards?"

The old man kicked the Blood Knight's head away and laughed disdainfully.

"Dad, don't get too cocky. This guy is actually very strong. In a one-on-one situation, none of us are a match for him."

Hit-Girl gave a fair assessment.

"Okay, you're right, we benefited from the siege."

Just then, several more stern-looking men and women wearing long overcoats and cross-shaped swords at their waists rushed out of the corridor. This time, they did not attempt to challenge them; they didn't even draw their swords, but instead opened fire on the crowd with their guns.

Big Daddy and Hit-Girl quickly ducked behind a pillar to avoid the barrage of bullets, while Selena kicked over a thick oak table and hid behind it.

Li Xingzhou suddenly opened the Thousand Chance Umbrella with a bang, shielding himself and Emma inside, and whistled at the same time.

Five skeletal werewolves burst through the window and pounced on the blood knights.

The Blood Knights quickly turned their guns around, but the bullets had no effect whatsoever on the skeletal werewolves, not even slowing them down.

Seeing this, the blood knights quickly abandoned their spears and drew their swords, about to engage in close combat, when the five skeletal werewolves simultaneously opened their hollow skeletal mouths, emitting eerie howls that vibrated the air with magical power.

The wolf howls pierced their minds and shook their spirits. Even the most resolute Blood Knights froze for a moment involuntarily at the sound of the wolf howls.

In that brief moment of stunned silence, before they could recover, the werewolf skeleton had pounced on them, knocking them to the ground with a flurry of blood as its claws struck.

Selena glanced at the Blood Knights being ravaged by five skeletal werewolves and said:

"Six have arrived, and there are six more Blood Knights guarding the hibernation chamber."

Big Daddy shrugged:

"If this is all they have, then we have nothing to worry about."

Selena's expression was serious:
"I'm afraid they might awaken Victor or even Marcus. I sense that these six Blood Knights are more about stalling for time..."

In fact, after using "Perfect Blood" to overcome her racial defects, Selena not only escaped the punishment of sunlight, but her strength also greatly evolved.

Now, she is no longer afraid of Victor's bloodline suppression, and even Marcus's ancestral bloodline cannot suppress or intimidate her.

However, Victor's prestige was too great, and Marcus was even more of a legendary figure, so Selena still had considerable reservations about them.

"Don't worry. Neither Victor nor Marcus can stop us today."

Li Xingzhou spoke leisurely, folded up the Thousand Chance Umbrella, and walked towards the corridor from which the Blood Knights had emerged.

Emma, ​​Selena, Big Daddy, and Hit-Girl surrounded him, while the skeletal werewolves, who had already dealt with five Blood Knights, lined up behind him.

At the end of the spacious corridor stood a pair of large double doors inlaid with reliefs. They appeared to be wooden from the outside, but the interior was lined with thick alloy plates, impenetrable even to rocket launchers. Just as Li Xingzhou and his group were only ten steps away from the doors, they suddenly and slowly opened.

Then, an elderly man dressed in a magnificent noble robe, carrying a longsword, with neatly combed silver hair and an air of elegance, slowly walked out of the gate, surrounded by six tall men and women in medieval armor.

“Selena…”

Upon seeing Selena approaching, the old man stopped, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes:
“For hundreds of years, I have always regarded you as my daughter, but you have colluded with humans, betrayed your clan, and betrayed me…”

It was obvious that the old man was Victor, the vampire lord who had survived since the Middle Ages.

"hypocrite!"

Selena, usually calm and collected, and rarely angered, blushed with rage at Victor's affected manner. She stepped forward, raised her twin pistols, aimed them at Victor, and said sternly:

"Put away your hypocritical face! Hundreds of years ago, you destroyed my village and killed my parents, relatives, and neighbors! You committed evil deeds, but blamed them on werewolves, inciting my hatred for werewolves, turning me into a vampire, and fooling and using me for hundreds of years! And now you still dare to accuse me of betrayal?"

Victor paused slightly, his face turning grim:

"You...you actually know the truth?"

He did not attempt to defend himself.

Selena led her men to the clan's stronghold, slaughtering the nobles and causing a bloodbath. This shows that she had a full understanding of the truth. At this point, any explanation would be pale and powerless, and it would be impossible to regain Selena's trust.

“Selena, I have indeed deceived you for centuries. I killed your parents, but I also granted you immortality!”

Victor didn't think he was wrong at all, he just shook his head regretfully:
"Besides, I truly consider you my daughter..."

Selena mercilessly exposed his hypocrisy:

"You only see me as a substitute for your daughter, that poor Sophia, whom you tied up and burned alive in the sun."

Victor was taken aback, his lips twitched twice, and a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in his eyes, clearly having been hit where it hurt by Selena.

“Selena, it seems your knowledge of history exceeds my expectations…”

He slowly drew his longsword, his voice hoarse and low:

“Sophia committed an unforgivable crime. Even though she is my only biological daughter, I must execute her. And you, Selena, you betrayed the clan and led outsiders to slaughter your own people. This is a more serious and unforgivable crime than Sophia's…”

Selena said coldly:

“You are the enemy who destroyed my hometown and killed my parents and relatives. What right do you have to judge or forgive me? Now, it is my turn to judge you! Victor, you despicable and shameful hypocrite, go to hell and repent for your sins!”

After saying that, he opened fire with both guns, and bullets rained down on Victor without mercy.

But the six Blood Knights surrounding Victor stepped forward simultaneously, forming a human wall to shield Victor behind them. The bullets struck their medieval plate armor with only a clanging sound, sending up a flurry of sparks.

"Plate armor made of bulletproof steel?"

Li Xingzhou chuckled softly:
"Vampires are quite adaptable these days!"

Just then, the six Blood Knights simultaneously drew their swords and charged forward, forming a moving iron wall that withstood the combined firepower of Selena, Big Daddy, and Hit-Girl as they charged toward Li Xingzhou and his group.

Victor stared at Selena and whispered:
“From the Middle Ages to the present, countless warriors have tried to avenge themselves against me, but none have succeeded… I still exist, and will always exist, as for you…”

He discarded the scabbard, held the sword in one hand, and strode forward:

"They will become skeletons, forgotten and forgotten, among the weeds..."
