Chapter 791 The Duke's Fall (13K, please vote for the complete version)
The ruins of Wangtian Hotel.

The command post was built in a gun emplacement in the trench, and dust fell in droves due to repeated shelling.

As the ouroboros mark appeared on the trench ground, Jiang He descended. The guard company commander looked on with envy, for his innate talent, Spatial Blink, was unparalleled in the world.

Inside the command center, a middle-aged man waved for several guards to leave. On his table sat a syringe, the liquid inside a shimmering silver, with faint shimmering light visible.

"Grade B gene therapy, the pinnacle of this series of drugs."

Fu Shuang smiled and said, "Brother Dijiang, guess how much I paid to get it?"

Jiang He said calmly, "It's not important, it's already in your hands."

Fu Shuang was taken aback at first, then shook her head and chuckled, sighing, "Indeed, there's no point in feeling sentimental or hesitant."

A Grade B gene potion requires hunting Grade A Apocalypse Knights as raw materials; war, death, plague, and famine are all acceptable. The same applies to Grades C, D, E, and F; both require hunting Apocalypse Knights of the next higher level.

However, to kill these A-level mutants, even A-level Source Power users of the same level would have to take huge risks, or mobilize a large army. In any case, the cost would be unimaginably high.

Fu Shuang said solemnly, "The battle situation is critical. I can only try to advance. Each injection of gene serum has a theoretical 30% mortality rate. Various materials can help, but cannot completely eliminate it. If I die suddenly, the Third Regiment will be temporarily commanded by you. If I advance successfully, please ask Brother Di Jiang to build an iron fortress on the front line."

"Sure," Jiang He replied. It only consumed half of his own energy, which was not a loss compared to the almost depleted Bullfighting Strike.

Fu Shuang picked up the syringe and plunged it into her neck.

The drug integrates into the body, transforming it from the blood inwards.

Fu Shuang's forehead veins bulged, and his domain overflowed from his body, becoming more solid and substantial, gradually materializing.

Jiang He watched the whole thing. Because he didn't have the body of the era, it wasn't difficult for the Night Man to strengthen his own level, but this also weakened his combat power at the same level. A normal ordinary hero's Dharma body is 100 meters tall, but for the Night Man to reach the B-level sub-hero level, 10 meters tall is already quite impressive.

Behind the Frost Lord, the phantom of the Apocalypse Knight - Death rapidly materialized, enveloping him in a half-skeleton made of energy. His main cultivation technique, "Ten Thousand Miles of Wolf Smoke Technique," released bursts of blood mist, and his primal talent, Frost Mark, further armored his true self's Dharma form.

Jiang He withdrew his gaze, clasped his hands together, and a four-story-high steel fortress rose from the ground.

After a long pause, Fu Shuang's breathing improved, and he smiled, "We're in luck. Rank B is one of the necessary standards to become a Major General Division Commander. With Brother Di Jiang's talent, Rank A won't be far off. Let's help each other and try to survive until the end of the war."

Jiang He nodded and said, "You flatter me, Master."

"Haha, I sent people to gather a batch of weapons and gave half to my brother. It's enough to arm a Class A regiment. Consider it my investment in the bridge-guarding regiment."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jiang He returned to his own trench.

In the fortified city of Anxi, each military unit has its own large and small faction, much like warlords. The existence of powerful clans and individuals with strong source energy means that the military lacks absolute power.

However, these matters do not apply to battalion and company-level units. In Fu Shuang's eyes, the bridge-guarding regiment is Di Jiang's private property, after all, he has the support of the eldest daughter of the Luo family. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the sudden appearance of thousands of elite soldiers.

……

At six o'clock in the evening, dusk was falling.

The main battlefield in Majui County saw a brief respite from the artillery fire.

Commander Tongchuan sent three auxiliary divisions to the front lines because the Eastern Wing battlefield had previously captured Hanguzhuang, and the main force of the Third Division had successfully advanced, bypassing to the northeast of Majui County, forcing the three vampire dukes to withdraw some troops back to defend.

Jingshui Block A position.

Wuhe reported the battle situation to Jiang He: the promised arms supplies from the Third Regiment had been delivered; about 400 of the thousand-strong thugs of the bridge-guarding regiment had died in battle, with only the dead and no seriously wounded.

Meanwhile, the bloodied corpses scattered all over the hillside in front of the position were collected. It was said that a cemetery had been built here, and several surrounding units had sent their fallen soldiers here for centralized disposal to prevent the spread of disease.

"Nearly nine thousand people, most of whom were blood servants."

Jiang He frantically practiced alchemy, feeling as if he were sucking the blood of both sides in the war and reaping the benefits of the war. Two thousand four hundred basic evil soldiers were born, ranging from F-level, E-level and D-level source power users. Now the bridge guard regiment has become a real force, with a total of three thousand people, and three C-level combatants, the Rat, the Ox, and the Tiger, have been appointed as battalion commanders.

Inside the cemetery, Luo Yeli looked somewhat somber. Having served as a medic for a day, she had witnessed a variety of spectacular deaths, especially the assault team led by Hai Zhu, whose twenty men charged with explosives and destroyed two main battle tanks. Their spirit of sacrifice was astonishing.

"The division headquarters called, inquiring about the origins of the troops stationed at the front. I told them that they were my private soldiers whom I had secretly trained, and that I transported them to the front lines through tunnels and your spatial teleportation. Don't let it slip in the future," Luo Yeli instructed.

"I understand," Jiang He replied.

"Sister Yeli, dinner's ready!"

Zihua could only shout outside the cemetery, but several vicious soldiers forbade her from entering.

Luo Yeli tied up her silver hair, put on her military cap, and stood up, saying, "Don't forget to come to the aquarium with me after the war."

Jiang He raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it an amusement park?"

"What's the difference?" Luo Yeli rolled her eyes at the other person.

After the alchemy was finished, Jiang He squatted in the trench and ate his military rations.

"Stop struggling."

"Try to run again, or I'll shoot you!"

Wuhe and Zishu escorted a vampire woman named Jue over. She was fair-skinned and beautiful, tall and voluptuous. Her battle dress-like attire was severely damaged, and her eyes were bright red and cold, filled with stubbornness and murderous intent.

"Boss, the spoils."

"Boss, this is a wild immortal boar body that I caught especially for you."

Jiang He chewed on lemon-flavored gum, looked him up and down a few times, and said regretfully, "All show and no substance, get rid of him."

"Ugh."

"What a disappointment."

Whoosh!
Zishu swung his longsword, destroying the head and blood core of the vampire woman in turn. Since it wasn't a celestial pig body, and it wasn't a leisurely situation like when facing a blonde female officer, Jiang He wasn't going to waste his energy.

Wuhe covered his eyes, activated his innate talent, Bird Language, and shifted his gaze to several birds high in the sky. He said, "Boss, the enemy is gathering their forces. We have two main regiments, two auxiliary divisions, an estimated 26,000 men, as well as three vampire marquises: Noah, Remington, and Toman."

"Fu Shuang has secretly been promoted to Rank B," Jiang He said.

Wuhe curled his lip in disdain. A B-rank in the Night World, trash in strength and trash in judgment of the situation. If he had stopped the three marquises for the boss earlier, the boss could have taken advantage of the A-rank confrontation and the other marquises being too busy to pay attention to them to severely damage the vampire army on the North Shore.

"There won't be any traitors, will there?" Wuhe muttered.

Jiang He didn't have sufficient evidence to make a judgment, but Luo Yeli sent good news through the communicator.

“The bridge-guarding regiment is not officially part of the military. There are a few vacancies in the garrison brigade within the fortress city. I can snatch one. Are you interested?”

Jiang He recalled the basic intelligence: there were a total of twenty-four garrison brigades, stationed in various districts within the fortress city. Their usual duties were to suppress and kill Source Power users who crossed the line and maintain order.

A garrison brigade typically consists of 3000 to 10000 people. It is not subordinate to a division-level unit and is theoretically under the jurisdiction of the district council, but in reality, it is the private armed force of various powerful families.

"Location."

“Nanyang District, the ninth of the twelve districts, is where my inherited group and Luo’s Heavy Industry are located. This allows me to influence some district councilors. Recently, a secret conflict occurred at Taige Villa in the first district. The specific details are unclear, but several garrison brigades crippled the organization. We can process it now.”

“Okay,” Jiang He replied.

Bringing troops into the fortress is certainly a good thing; otherwise, the isolation between the inside and outside would be difficult to utilize. However, during wartime, retreating in the face of battle is certainly not an option, and it is estimated that the retreat will have to wait until the war ends.

The communication ended, not because Luo Yeli hung up, but because the vampire communication forces on the north bank released a massive amount of interference, making it difficult for various units to even immediately notify their subordinates.

Jiang He turned around and saw hundreds of tanks rushing onto the frozen river surface from the north bank. The tanks and infantry worked together, with countless infantrymen advancing alongside the tanks, and a barrage of firepower arriving simultaneously.

"Fire!" Wuhe shouted, waving his hand.

Hundreds of fire teams opened fire simultaneously, a dense barrage of fire sweeping across the sky. The faces of the vicious soldiers were contorted with rage. Bullets pierced the ice, creating countless dents. Brilliant sparks rose from the tank surfaces. Our artillery battery fired despite the enemy's bombardment. In front of the position, a suicide squad from the rabble was lying in wait, waiting for the tanks to pass.

An entire vampire servant division charged toward the Jing Shui Block A position, and the casualty figures on both sides soared the moment the battle began.

Jiang He's gaze was fixed on a vampire count.

He activated the Void Technique, swapping positions with the target's head.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang He shattered the headless body's blood core with a single slash, killing the vampire count. Twenty-four throwing knives shot out, weaving a net of quenched lightning, killing thousands of vampire infantrymen. Due to the obstruction of the main battle tanks, the number of casualties was significantly reduced.

boom!
A vampire viscount shattered his own heart; the dagger was dark and coated with a deadly and lingering poison.

The Primal Talent - Equal Sin Induction - was about to strike, but Jiang He took the first step and ripped out his own heart. Not only this vampire viscount who was a hundred meters away, but all the blood nobles within the Heavenly Evolution Perspective were within his sight.

Regenerative genes are activated, and the heart is remodeled in an instant.

In fact, Jiang He had already obtained bloodline transplantation technology from the world of sailing. If he were to transplant the bloodline of a high-level vampire, his regenerative ability would be further enhanced. However, his animal companions were all in the fortress camp, and he was not willing to join the vampires. Concealing his bloodline was a flaw that could not be ignored.

boom!
Grade B Source Power Revolver - Whale Song - Flashing Gun Flames.

The bullet shattered the still-alive vampire viscount.

More than twenty nobles attacked together. Jiang He was surrounded by steel spikes, forming a huge steel forest that killed them on the spot. Four counts released their domains from four directions, and the steel forest was destroyed in the blink of an eye.

call!
The domain is coming.

Jiang He's entire body suddenly lost its substance, and at this moment, his body was completely composed of lightning, presenting a tremendous transformation of elementalization. This was a secret technique that perfectly coordinated flesh and energy under the unified power of lightning.

—Secret Technique of Power: Lord Thunder.

In the blink of an eye.

Jiang He's speed has reached an unprecedented peak.

Swish!
Lightning slashed the nearest count, and then with three more spatial flashes, before the domain could even cover the original position, the four vampire counts were split in two and perished on the spot.

Jiang He took a short breath.

Filling one's entire body with high-density energy is a huge drain on both physical and mental strength. He can only maintain the Thunder Lord Mode for a maximum of three minutes. The high-intensity application of power is a force that a D-level source power user cannot control.

boom!
Black flames descended from the sky.

Jiang He raised his head and his eyes flickered slightly. He used the Secret Technique: Divine Might to attack Marquis Noah's blood core, but an energy skeleton overflowed from the surface of his body, blocking the Ouroboros mark.

The raging fire spread over an area of ​​500 meters.

Just as Jiang He was about to activate the Space-Flash Technique, Marquis Noah took out a birdcage the size of a palm and said with a smile, "Do you know how all the previous Space-Flashes, except for the first one who ascended to S-class demigod status, died?"

"This is the forbidden item, the Wingless Birdcage. It was originally a treasured possession of the Toredor clan, but due to recent events, the dukes have only now borrowed it. You have two choices: either accept the Embrace or die."

Forbidden Item: Wingless Birdcage. Effect: Space Lockdown.

Jiang He was surrounded by lightning, which was nothing more than a speed race.

“Just what I wanted!” Marquis Noah’s eyes flashed with murderous intent. He couldn’t wait to kill the other party, but the dukes unanimously agreed that the main approach should be to persuade him to surrender, after all, Dijiang had unparalleled value.

The next moment, lightning streaked away, with black fire in hot pursuit.

……

On the third bridge.

Five B-level powerhouses engaged in a chaotic battle.

The True Self Dharma, though similar in form, is fundamentally different. When they clash, even though both sides try to avoid each other, the bridge, which has been reinforced countless times, still cannot avoid collapsing.

"The stars will greet the Master."

boom!
The commander of the First Division was attacked from both sides. The advisor named Yizhen controlled his true self dharma form and broke through the opponent's rock man dharma form. The resistance to Remington's frontal attack disappeared, and a seven-meter-long thunder sword almost killed the commander.

Fortunately, another advisor intervened in time, but the situation had already reversed. What was originally three against two humans and vampires had now become two against three.

The First Division Commander, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, narrowed his eyes and said with disgust, "The vampires encountered by the Third Regiment when they were in charge of Majui bypassed us through the tunnels. And your sudden illness before the attack on Dijiang last time... it seems that it was all premeditated. Have I offended you?"

Yi Zhen shook his head and said coldly, "Our Star Society is only at odds with aristocratic families and clans; we have no personal grudges."

"So you conspired with vampires to betray humanity?"

"You do not represent humanity!"

Yi Zhen's eyes blazed with fury, but a frost giant suddenly emerged from the river. Fu Shuang launched a sneak attack on Yi Zhen, severely injuring him. The two vampire marquises deliberately slowed down to prevent the four from faking their plan and luring them in to kill them. "Fu Shuang!" Yi Zhen roared, his anger surging.

"I've known for a long time that something's off about you. There's not a single good person out of the Luo family's private army!" Fu Shuang said with a look of disdain.

The six of them clashed again.

Meanwhile, on the south bank.

Due to the aftermath of the battle between the B-level powerhouses, half of the tanks of the First Division fell into the river. The vampire armored forces charged into the trenches, and one after another, the vicious soldiers charged with explosive packs, only to be reduced to minced meat in the flames. Hundreds of them fell one after another, a scene that was awe-inspiring.

"Glory to the... Boss!"

"What's the point of my sacrifice without slogans!"

"The situation is special, you must not speak of it for now!"

Boom boom boom!
Luo Yeli stood blankly in the trench, with Zihua beside her. If being a medic before was just a helpless witness to the cruelty of war, then she was now essentially unemployed. The evil soldiers didn't care about minor injuries; if someone was seriously wounded, they would simply die, without wasting any resources.

"You've trained an elite force well."

Beside him, the middle-aged man Luo Youdao said with a smile, "But I feel it's a bit unfair. Why should they have to die, while we, the Luo family, have to stand here and stand there in a daze?"

The voice was persuasive and enticing, possessing a unique and seductive power.

"Uncle, what do you want to say?" Luo Yeli turned her head.

Luo Youdao said calmly, "Night Fox, too many people have died. The Second Division was almost wiped out, the First Division suffered heavy casualties, and the five auxiliary divisions now have only more than 20,000 men. Of the more than 30 shelters in the northern part of the Tongchuan war zone, only seven have survived. It's time to end this."

Unbeknownst to them, the seductive voice grew stronger and stronger.

Luo Yeli sneered, "Is the blame mine? I'll only be eighteen in half a month. Uncle is blaming the wrong person."

"But you have the power to end it all."

Luo Youdao said seriously, "All things listen, and all things grieve at the moment of death. You have the terrifying power to annihilate the entire vampire clan of Majui County. Don't you hate vampires the most? This is a rare opportunity."

Luo Yeli's face was filled with anger, and she stopped speaking.

Seeing her emotional state, Luo Youdao smiled and pointed to the battlefield, saying, "Dijiang is extremely outstanding. I have never seen such an excellent young man before. It's not because of his qualifications or talent, but because his eyes are never confused. Regardless of good or bad, this kind of guy must have a self-consistent logic and has a bright future."

Luo Yeli was lost in thought.

Luo Youdao sighed, "It's a pity that a D-rank challenge against a marquis is too early. He shouldn't have died here, and he shouldn't have come to this battlefield, which is unnecessary for him, because of other people's affairs."

Luo Yeli's heart tightened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I will not compromise for others. You might as well just kill me. The power of the 'Sorrow of All Things' will be halved, which is worse than nothing."

Luo Youdao didn't mind, he just handed over an electronic board and said, "I wonder if your father in heaven would be pleased to see how strong you are."

Luo Yeli stared at the electronic panel, her pupils dilating in shock.

"impossible……"

“Nothing is impossible. You can judge for yourself whether it’s true or false. Your mother was assassinated because your father regretted this free love. Without the help of a marriage alliance, what can he use to compete with me, an A-level expert from the main branch of the family?”

"Because the assassination would expose their bloodline, even if the assassination failed, the silver-haired woman would not escape death. It was extremely thorough. He just underestimated your grandfather's ruthlessness. In order to protect the Listeners of All Things as much as possible, the old man sent people to kill them. Of course, to the outside world, it was said that they died for love, using their romantic affairs to cover up the scandal."

Luo Yeli's face turned deathly pale, and she was on the verge of collapse.

Forgotten memories surged back: arguments, insults, and vandalism. Her parents had indeed been estranged from her when she was young, and their relationship often escalated to the point of violence.

Luo Yeli tried her best to calm herself down and said tremblingly, "People always have to... look forward."

"What a pity, what a pity."

Luo Youdao swiped the electronic board and said, "If you place all your affections on Dijiang, you may be disappointed. He is indeed outstanding, but he has nothing to do with you."

This time, Luo Yeli truly showed disbelief.

“The female officer’s radio communication recordings show that she is pregnant. According to the time she said, when Dijiang was making love to her, he should have been coaxing you. You can judge this for yourself.”

Luo Yeli clutched her head in anguish. As the commander, she could tell the recording was genuine, and its contents were true as well, because there had indeed been unusual circumstances that night.

Luo Youdao solemnly said, "Your uncle asks you to die, firstly to deal with these vampires and fulfill your ambition, secondly to save the soldiers of Tongchuan Army, and thirdly to settle all debts with Dijiang and clarify the entanglements. All things grieve together, and we need not worry about accidentally harming the vampires that you hated in your life."

half an hour.

Luo Yeli raised her head, her eyes somewhat lifeless.

"can."

The next moment, the Duke of Tucson and the Duke of Vallotta arrived together, with the former saying, "It would be such a pity for such a beautiful young girl to die."

When the Fu family's retainer and the Tongchuan military commander arrived, Luo Youdao stood in front of the silver-haired girl and comforted her, saying, "Whether it's a big or small matter, you can always die. Why suffer any more?"

Suddenly, Duke Arsen stood not far away and said gently, "Little girl, don't you still have friends?"

Luo Yeli looked at the trembling Zihua beside her.

After a short while, Zihua stepped aside, picked up her revolver, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Yeli. I dare not disobey the Commander's orders. It's also your fault. If you and Dijiang had let me into the cemetery, I might have already obtained the information that allowed me to leave."

Duke Arsen: "..."

You treacherous little human brat!

The three dukes looked solemn. The suicide of the Listener of All Things would have a greater impact than being "murdered," after all, there is no greater sorrow than a broken heart, and for an A-level expert, the difference could determine their life or death.

suddenly.

A relic appeared between the eyebrows of the Duke of Arsen.

As Huijue's gaze fell upon Luo Yeli, the silver-haired girl's sorrow and confusion lessened considerably. Her eyes flickered between clarity and reverie as she stood motionless.

Commander Tongchuan was furious. "The relics of the monk Huijue have fallen into your hands. Are the Blood Tomb troops all useless?"

Duke Valota said casually, "We don't want Luo Yeli to commit suicide, and you certainly won't give up halfway. How about this, let her die by murder, and then we'll each rely on our own abilities."

Commander Tongchuan frowned. He would never personally carry out the killing, otherwise he would inevitably be tainted with resentment when he did so. However, the other party's suggestion was not bad.

"agree."

Luo Youdao pondered for a moment and then said, "I agree."

Duke Arsen nodded and said, "Agreed."

“Agreed,” Vallotta said.

"Agreed." Tucson was very confident in his abilities.

The Master Fu sighed, “Agreed.”

Commander Tongchuan coldly ordered, "Zihua, make your move."

Not far away, Zi Hua's eyes dimmed as she fired two shots, one to the brow and the other to the heart. Regardless of whether Luo Yeli, who possessed vampire blood, had a blood core, she was about to die.

At that moment, a small Rubik's Cube in Luo Yeli's pouch suddenly transformed into a human form. The Thunder Demon, which had been responsible for protection since its birth, shattered the bullet aimed at its brow, but ignored the bullet heading towards its heart.

boom!
Luo Yeli lay in a pool of blood, shot in the heart, and fell into a coma.

All six A-level experts were startled. Luo Youdao, who was closest, struck out with his palm. Before the Thunder Demon exploded into pieces, it did two things: a fierce bolt of lightning blasted the purple flower into powder, and a gentle bolt of lightning struck Luo Yeli, stimulating the life force of her entire body.

boom!
The Thunder Demon was completely shattered.

At the same time, a cold voice rang out.

"I reject the suggestions of you ants."

……

On the frozen river surface.

Marquis Noah relentlessly pursued Jiang He.

At some point, an almost imperceptible figure appeared behind Marquis Noah. The mission of the Demon of Nothingness was to quietly approach Marquis Noah and pinpoint his location. In short, throughout the raging flames, there were always three people.

The knife was thrust out, aimed straight at his back.

Marquis Noah was greatly alarmed. He turned around and manifested his true form to hastily block the attack, but he did not expect that the Steel Demon would take shape next to Jiang He in front of him.

boom!
The Steel Demon and the Demon of Nothingness clashed, and two B-rank evil soldiers smashed Marquis Noah's head and heart from the left and right.

The forbidden item—the wingless birdcage—is still in operation.

But Jiang He easily completed the teleportation.

He is a higher-level taboo, like the Desert Queen being suppressed; the wingless birdcage has no effect on him.

The next moment, Jiang He returned to the trench, where Luo Yeli's military jacket had disappeared amidst the pool of blood.

"I am not satisfied with this ending."

"You're not satisfied?" Commander Tongchuan sneered. "Then come up with a better plan. Do you really think you have the right to speak here?"

“Young man,” Luo Youdao chuckled.

The Dukes of Tucson and Vallotta remained silent.

Because they discovered that Duke Arsen was trembling with fear.

"Why not just let you all die here? Of course, depending on my mood, I might let one or two go."

Beneath Jiang He's military uniform, one of the two ugly fingers on his neck disappeared.

Duke Arsen shouted in panic, "Run!"

He would never forget the face before him. The power of the Tarot-level forbidden item, Lover, could only provide temporary protection, not resistance, to the relic of the wise monk.

call!
An invisible wave enveloped an area of ​​about one kilometer.

As Jiang He's life level rose and he became more perfect, his charm naturally increased somewhat.

At this moment, everything changed completely.

Luo Youdao was stunned, motionless, marveling at Jiang He's beauty, "I actually, actually have the honor of being so close to him!"

Whoosh!
Jiang He beheaded Luo Youdao.

Commander Tongchuan stared blankly, unable to help but sigh, "What are the eight chiefs of staff compared to this moment? They're nothing."

Wow!
Jiang He swung his sword and beheaded Tongchuan's military commander.

With a smile on his face, the Venerable Fu said, “True integrity and moral character, everything in my life, is contained in this moment.”

Swish!
Jiang He drew his knife and plunged it into the forehead of the Fu family's retainer.

Duke Arsen, who possessed the relics of the monk Huijue, fled for his life, but Jiang He had no intention of killing him at all.

The Dukes of Tucson and Valota were simply doomed to die anyway, and it wasn't worth them moving an inch.

Whizzing!

Jiang He severed both heads with a single stroke, without wasting a second. With his charm amplified, he estimated that in a few minutes, admiration and infatuation would transform into an all-consuming desire for possession.

Four strikes, and five A-level experts perished.

Across the White Falls River, countless nobles of lower bloodlines felt an emptiness deep within their souls, their faces filled with terror. The duke, the source of their bloodline, had vanished.
