American comics: The Savior Who Started with Vampires

Chapter 111 Restraints and Rumors

"Would you like to have a match with me?"

"?"

Vlad's pupils contracted sharply as he met Lin Jue's smiling eyes, and the hairs on his body stood on end involuntarily.

Let's have a match!

"Let's have a match! Let's have a match!"

The shouts and cries that rose and fell made the area outside the hall noisy and chaotic.

"Quiet!"

Lin Jue narrowed his eyes, staring at the many generals who were excitedly watching the spectacle.

In an instant, the shouts that had been rising and falling fell silent. All the generals fell silent, and even the most unruly Moshiri kept his lips tightly shut. This was quite a spectacle in Turkey, where barbarity and openness were still the main cultural trends.

Noticing this, Vlad's pupils contracted slightly, and he glanced furtively at Sultan Muhammad, who was walking out of the palace.

"Vlad, why don't you fight the Grand Duke of Eternal Night? I'm very curious about your battle!"

Muhammad descended from the temple, his face bearing a gentle smile, his voice extremely calm.

"..."

With his greatsword held upright in front of him, Vlad looked solemnly at Lin Jue, who was holding the sword with one hand hanging down at his waist.

This strange way of wielding a sword can be described as unique, and it even sparked a wave of imitations in the Turkish army, but very few people could use sword skills similar to Lin Jue's.

Vlad launched the first attack, his greatsword flashing like a white thunderbolt, swiftly and fiercely slashing down towards Lin Jue's head.

clang……

With his longsword held horizontally in front of his forehead, Vlad watched as Lin Jue blocked his powerful attack with just one hand. Even though he had imagined the scene of fighting Lin Jue, he still did not expect it to be like this.

Clang!

A greatsword and a rapier clashed rapidly, and the battle between the two sides instantly reached a fever pitch.

Vlad grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. No matter how much force he used, Lin Jue was always able to catch his strikes with remarkable stability.

In just three minutes, the number of times their swords clashed was enough to make even a seasoned soldier feel exhausted.

Whether with a powerful slash or a light flick, Vlad constantly changed his greatsword attack style. In terms of strength, he had no advantage at all, and in terms of skill, his opponent was even more unfathomable!

After nearly a hundred rounds, he finally felt a tremendous sense of powerlessness lingering in his heart. He finally understood what kind of mentality those enemies who were fighting against Lin Jue had.

"I give up!"

Vlad's voice echoed throughout the hall. At this moment, his former confidants looked dejected. As early as the middle of the battle, everyone present could see the difference in strength between the two.

Vlad's combat skills can be considered top-notch, but Grand Duke Lin Jue of the Eternal Night is a being that makes everyone feel despair.

When the established facts finally arrived, everyone wore complex expressions, including Muhammad, who sat atop the temple.

"Lin, you truly deserve the title of Grand Duke of Eternal Night. All your enemies face you as if facing endless darkness, plunging into eternal damnation!"

As Muhammad finished speaking, all the generals and soldiers present cheered, and everyone's eyes fell on Lin Jue as he sheathed his longsword.

……

As night fell, Muhammad hosted a farewell banquet for Vlad, who was returning home.

Amidst the lively drinking, everyone was enjoying themselves immensely. However, Vlad seemed preoccupied, his gaze subtly sweeping over Lin Jue, who sat at the head of the table on the other side.

Knowing Muhammad well, he sensed the impending storm; the seemingly calm temple was actually rife with undercurrents.

"Lin! Our territory has nearly doubled in size, and the nation's interests have been maximized. We won't be waging war anytime soon. What do you think?"

Muhammad narrowed his eyes, gazing at Lin Jue who was savoring the wine, and spoke first.

"I will obey Your Highness's orders!"

Lin Jue's eyes flickered slightly. He understood the meaning behind Muhammad's words, but in this dimension, power held no appeal for him.

"Haha, good, good, good! Let's drink!"

The atmosphere in the hall, which had been tense, suddenly became cheerful again. At this moment, Muhammad's heart, which had been pounding, instantly calmed down, and he looked admiringly at Lin Jue, who seemed to only know how to drink.

The hand placed at his side pressed down slightly, and at the same time, the many soldiers hidden behind the curtain of the main hall sheathed their longswords.

After just a few drinks, Muhammad directly ordered the army originally assigned to Lin Jue to be distributed among the other generals, raising the atmosphere in the hall to a new level.

The banquet lasted until the early hours of the morning. Slightly drunk, Vlad slowly walked out of the hall, but before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped, staring in astonishment at the figure standing quietly in the darkness.

He hadn't noticed how Lin Jue had come out of the main hall at all. Even though he was a little drunk, he still remembered very clearly that Lin Jue was still in the main hall when she left.

"When did you come out?"

Vlad frowned slightly and asked with some surprise.

"Of course I came out with you!"

Lin Jue slowly stepped forward and solemnly patted Vlad on the shoulder.

"Have a safe journey. As a friend, may I offer you some advice?"

"Please speak!"

Vlad looked at Lin Jue with a solemn expression. For some reason, his heart was pounding wildly, as if what he was about to hear would determine his unknown fate!

"In your hometown of Trasivania, there is an ancient mountain with a history of nearly a thousand years. A bloodthirsty monster lurks there, tempting travelers who crave power or have lost their way. If you need power, you can come to me, but whatever you do, don't go to that place!"

"?"

Vlad's face showed great confusion. Lin Jue's inexplicable words made his thoughts instantly chaotic and he was somewhat confused. Under Lin Jue's gaze, he walked on his journey home.

Until a ray of sunlight pierced through the darkness on the distant horizon, Lin Jue, who was sitting on the mossy rock outside the main hall, couldn't help but smile.

A group of soldiers dragged Muhammad behind Linjue.

"Lord Eternal Night, I heard you sent some soldiers to Vlad's homeland, seemingly searching for something?"

"Ha, Your Highness, actually I've only heard about it secondhand. I've heard that in the hometown of the Piercing Grand Duke, there exists some extremely evil yet very powerful creature. I'm a little curious about just how powerful it is?"

"Oh? A creature that even the Grand Duke of Eternal Night is curious about?"
