The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 367 Blood Demon Ruler

"There's a gap in his attack!" David whispered, "We have to seize this opportunity."

Arya immediately understood David's intention and nodded.

The two quickly separated and attacked the Blood Demon Guardian from both sides.

The blood demon power in David's body erupted again, forming a huge energy blade that slashed straight towards the left side of the blood demon guardian.

At the same time, Arya quickly activated the power of the blood demon in her body, forming an energy arrow and shooting towards the right side of the blood demon guardian.

The Blood Demon Guardian roared and quickly swung his battle axe to block David's attack.

However, the moment he turned around, Arya's energy arrow was approaching his right side.

The blood demon guardian didn't have time to defend himself completely. The energy arrow hit his right shoulder, and the blood-red armor broke instantly, and blood gushed out.

"It works!" A hint of joy flashed in Arya's eyes.

The Blood Demon Guardian let out a painful roar and his movements slowed down noticeably.

David seized this opportunity, and the blood demon power in his body erupted again, forming a huge energy storm that completely enveloped the blood demon guardian.

The Blood Demon Guardian struggled in the energy storm, trying to break free, but David and Arya's power had already firmly suppressed him.

Finally, the Blood Demon Guardian let out an unwilling roar, and his body gradually collapsed, turning into a pool of blood.

The blood energy contained in the Blood Demon Guardian's body is even more concentrated, and is continuously absorbed into the blood crystal stone.

David and Arya breathed a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew their strength.

"We succeeded." David whispered, his eyes full of fatigue.

Arya nodded, with a complex light flashing in her eyes: "The power of the Blood Demon Guardian... is stronger than we imagined. If we don't find his weakness, it will be difficult to defeat him."

David pondered for a moment, then said: "The Blood Demon Guardians are indeed powerful, but their weaknesses are also obvious. As long as we can find their flaws, we will have a chance to defeat them."

Arya looked at David with a hint of worry in her eyes: "But there may be more blood demon guardians in the Blood Moon Canyon. If we go deeper, we may encounter greater danger."

David smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Danger is never a reason for us to retreat. Arya, we must find the true secret of the blood demon's power. Only in this way can we truly control this power and even unlock the secret of the source of our bloodline."

Arya looked at David with trust in her eyes: "Okay, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

The two rested for a while and then continued to move deeper into the canyon.

As they went deeper, the fog around them became thicker and thicker, and the smell of blood became more pungent.

In the distance, a low roar could be heard faintly, as if some powerful creature was waiting for their arrival.

Suddenly, heavy footsteps were heard in the fog ahead, and then a tall figure slowly walked out of the fog.

It was a blood demon warrior wearing blood-red armor, holding a huge blood-red battle axe in his hand, and his scarlet eyes were fixed on David and Arya.

"Another blood demon guardian..." David whispered, and the blood demon power in his body surged rapidly, forming a huge energy barrier that blocked the two of them.

The Blood Demon Guardian let out a low roar, and swung the battle axe in his hand suddenly. The blood-red energy blade instantly slashed towards David and Arya.

David and Arya dodged quickly, and the energy blade scraped past their bodies, leaving a deep crack on the ground.

"This guy's power... is even stronger than before!" Arya exclaimed in a low voice, with a hint of shock in her eyes.

David nodded, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes: "Then let's see how strong he is!"

Before he finished speaking, David had already rushed out, and the blood demon power in his body instantly erupted, forming a huge energy blade, slashing straight towards the blood demon guardian.

The Blood Demon Guardian roared and swung the battle axe in his hand violently, colliding with David's energy blade.

Two powerful forces collided in the air, making a deafening roar.

David felt a huge recoil force and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Arya was very anxious when she saw David being forced back by the recoil. She immediately concentrated her mind, and the blood demon power in her body surged again, ready to use her combat skills.

At the same time, the Blood Demon Guardian did not give David a chance to recover. It rushed forward quickly, with its battle axe raised high and the sword tip heading straight for David.

"David, be careful!" Arya warned loudly.

David took a deep breath and steadied his steps as he retreated. He quickly adjusted his posture and concentrated his energy blade to the extreme again.

At that moment, he felt the innate resonance of the blood demon power in his body. That power seemed to be calling him and pushing him to his limit.

When the Blood Demon Guardian swung his battle axe, David immediately fought back.

He seemed to turn into a bolt of lightning, and his energy blade drew a brilliant red trajectory in the air, colliding with the incoming battle axe.

The two collided in the air, creating dazzling sparks, and the shock wave instantly blew away the surrounding mist.

David saw this and immediately seized the opportunity. He knew it was a good chance to break the deadlock.

He gathered all his strength and launched a close-range attack on the Blood Demon Guardian's ribs faster and more fiercely than before, leaving no room for maneuver.

When he was concentrating, every swing carried a powerful momentum that could tear the air apart, making people feel as if they were being suffocated by the invisible pressure.

At this moment, a shrill and deafening cry came from afar, and a shadow suddenly broke through the mist and fell into their sight—another new, huge blood wolf jumped out from the depths of the canyon.

This made the tense atmosphere in the air even more pervasive, and also forced the two of them to distract themselves from dealing with the new uninvited guests!
The blood demon guardians in front of them became more and more violent, and the newly appeared blood demon wolves were wandering around them, as if looking for an opportunity to pounce on them.

David took a deep breath, and the blood demon power in his body surged again. He turned into a flash of lightning and rushed straight towards the blood demon wolf that was rushing towards him.

Its movements were swift and ferocious, but David had already figured out its attack pattern.

He nimbly dodged the wolf's claws and slashed its side with his energy blade.

"go with!"

With this roar, he swung the energy blade downwards, accurately cutting the blood wolf's neck and killing it instantly.

As the bright red liquid splashed out, the wolf turned into a pool of bright red liquid and dissipated on the ground, adding a touch of horror and beautiful color to the canyon.

David put away the energy blade and looked back at Arya, a hint of relief and determination flashing in his eyes.

They successfully killed the Blood Demon Guardian and the ferocious Blood Demon Wolf. Although they were exhausted physically and mentally, the joy of victory made them feel extremely excited. "We must quickly enter the ruins and try to find the secret of the Blood Demon's power before other guardians arrive," said David.

"Ah."

Arya nodded, her face solemn but her heart full of anticipation.

She knows that this relic may hide countless treasures and dangers, but at the same time, it may also reveal the truth they have been pursuing.

The two walked slowly along the path deep in the canyon, and in the thick fog, they found an ancient and magnificent gate.

The door is covered with complex and obscure runes. It looks like an ancient painting, telling countless histories and legends.

There was a faint red light surrounding the door, which was the power of the blood demon that they had just felt.

"This door seems to be used to seal some kind of huge power."

Arya whispered as she stepped forward and gently touched the runes with her hand.

As she touched them, the runes began to glow slightly and emit low, ancient sounds, like whispers.

"We may need to perform some kind of ritual to open it."

David looked around and noticed several dark red crystal pillars on the ground, which were also engraved with similar runes.

He realized that this might be related to some of the energy they had absorbed earlier.

"Perhaps by absorbing this energy, we can break the seal."

Arya immediately understood what he meant: "Then let's try it first."

The two began to concentrate and injected a portion of the blood demon power absorbed into their bodies into the crystal pillars.

As they injected power into it, the crystal pillar emitted a dazzling light and gradually dispersed the thick fog around it.

The runes on the gate lit up instantly, followed by a deafening roar, instantly filling the canyon with vibrations and echoes.

The door slowly opened, revealing a dark and mysterious hall.

Inside the hall, an endless metallic blue light shone, shrouding the entire space in an otherworldly, dreamlike and mysterious atmosphere.

In the center, a huge bead was suspended in the air, and the light it emitted was as bright as a star.

"Is this what we are looking for?"

Arya exclaimed, with disbelief and yearning in her eyes.

"It is said that it contains infinite power and can greatly enhance the power of controlling the blood demon!"

"That's right," David stared at the Originium, "but there must be more guardians here. We must be careful."

At this moment, heavy footsteps suddenly came from behind them, and a new figure walked out of the darkness.

Seeing this figure, the blood demon girl Arya's face suddenly changed. She recognized that the person coming was the blood demon ruler!
David's eyes also fell on the blood demon ruler, and he thought to himself that what was supposed to come had finally come.

But he was not worried, after all, it was just a clone.

Moreover, when the real battle begins, he can mobilize the power of his chaotic bloodline and the source of his bloodline. With the strength of a six-ring bloodline wizard, he may not necessarily lose.

"Arya, you go first!" David reminded in a low voice, his whole attention focused on the powerful enemy in front of him.

The blood demon ruler slowly approached, with scarlet light flashing in his eyes. Those eyes were as disturbing as the abyss.

"You actually dared to break in here. This is your biggest mistake!" His voice was low and threatening. "You will pay the price for this today."

David clenched his fists tightly. He felt the blood power in his body erupting like a volcano at this moment.

He began to activate his chaotic bloodline, gathering strength in his body, while mobilizing the mysterious energy emitted by the Origin Stone.

The next moment, his figure instantly turned into a red shadow and rushed forward, attacking the blood demon ruler with all his strength.

A huge energy blade condensed in his hand, cutting through the air like a meteor and heading straight for the enemy!
However, the blood demon ruler smiled contemptuously and easily swung the black staff in his hand, colliding with David's attack.

A violent shock wave was generated where the two forces intersected, tearing apart the surrounding air and causing a huge shock between the two people.

"Humph, do you think you can defeat me with just these?" The Blood Demon Ruler sneered, "Let me see your true strength!"

Then, the blood demon ruler swung his staff, drawing a black arc in the air. A twisted and cold airflow instantly pounced towards David, hitting his heart like a falcon.

The force surprised him and he quickly dodged to the side, but the airflow still cut across his shoulder, leaving a burning and stinging wound.

"It's a bit tricky indeed." David said through gritted teeth, but he did not back down.

He quickly adjusted his posture, concentrated his mind again, and used stronger willpower to introduce the energy given by the Originium into his body, further awakening his chaotic bloodline.

"watch out!"

David roared, swinging the energy blade in his hand once again, this time with all his strength.

He concentrated all his strength and slashed at the ruler. This sword not only contained a physical attack, but also was infused with tactical wisdom brought by countless combat experiences, making the attack elusive and unpredictable!
However, this time, even in the face of threats, the Blood Demon Ruler did not panic.

The blood demon ruler raised his staff slightly, greeting everything with an attitude that almost ignored the enemy.

In front of him, a black barrier suddenly appeared, forming a strange contrast with the power of David's attack.

This rebounding force distorted almost the entire space, reflecting everything around so that it was impossible to distinguish the direction and reality.

At this moment, she seemed to have easily blocked his attack, but the destructive energy blade that flashed red still brought a huge shock wave, causing a chain reaction in the space. Invisible waves surged around like waves, and both the walls and the ground were shaking and collapsing!

"Impossible! How can you be so powerful?"

The blood demon ruler began to take precautions and was no longer as relaxed as before, knowing that his high-handed attitude had been challenged.

"It seems I have to take you seriously!"

After the Blood Demon Ruler finished speaking, the ancient runes lit up again, covering the entire hall.

The air became heavier, making it hard to breathe, and the Originium suspended in the air seemed to be affected as well. It began to tremble slightly and emit a faint aura of uneasiness.
