Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Black Blood Clan

“Zhao Long, take care of him—try to leave the whole body intact. If doing so poses a risk to you, disregard this requirement and eliminate the opponent directly,” Lin Qian instructed Zhao Long, who was summoned from the Sky Trace, as he retracted his soul power.
Zhao Long shook the spear in his hand and stared at the corpse of Lei Kun in front of him, responding solemnly, “Understood!”
After his words fell, Zhao Long’s soul power at the Ninth Level of Nirvana Realm erupted fully. He stomped the ground fiercely and charged toward the corpse of Lei Kun.
As his figure moved, the spear thrust forward like a dragon.
Zhao Long’s spear pointed at the corpse of Lei Kun with swift speed and considerable power.
“How is this possible!” Lei Kun’s corpse cursed inwardly, hurriedly dodging the spearhead aimed at him and reaching his left hand towards Zhao Long’s face.
Facing the sudden assault of Lei Kun’s corpse, Zhao Long remained calm. His steps suddenly retreated backward, and he swung his spear like a cudgel, smashing it down.
Zhao Long’s sudden change in attack caught Lei Kun’s corpse off guard, resulting in a fierce smash that sent him flying.
Yet Zhao Long remembered his lord’s order—to resolve the opponent and leave the body whole.
To prevent Lei Kun’s corpse from escaping, Zhao Long immediately pursued the airborne corpse, taking advantage of the situation.
“Damned human!” Lei Kun’s corpse roared furiously in mid-air, as scarlet soul power surged from within him, enveloping his body.
Wrapped in the scarlet soul power, Lei Kun’s corpse stepped on a tree trunk, bent his knees, and suddenly exerted force.
The tree Lei Kun’s corpse stepped on shattered into pieces, and he used the force to counterattack Zhao Long.
Zhao Long, with his golden soul power, collided with the scarlet soul power of Lei Kun’s corpse.
Zhao Long’s spear clashed with the corpse of Lei Kun, producing the sound of metal colliding.
Zhao Long rapidly brandished his spear, continuously thrusting at the corpse of Lei Kun in front of him.
However, with the scarlet soul power bursting within Lei Kun’s corpse, his strength and speed both ascended to another level, making it difficult for Zhao Long to gain the upper hand.
Observing from the side, Lin Qian realized it wasn’t that Zhao Long lacked the ability to defeat Lei Kun’s corpse; it was because his command to keep the body intact prevented Zhao Long from unleashing his full power.
Otherwise, if Zhao Long used the Rainy Pear Blossom Spear, Lei Kun’s corpse would have long been reduced to a pile of debris.
“Calling me a human, could it be that after Lei Kun died, he became another race?” Lin Qian pondered with his arms crossed, “Could it be that this guy has been resurrected and taken over?”
The astonishing changes in Lei Kun after death left Lin Qian marveling.
Before his death, Lei Kun was barely at the Ninth Level of the Shape Origin Realm, having just completed one round of Nirvana, and he reached the Ninth Level of the Nirvana Realm entirely through the accumulation of pills.
Indulgent in pleasures, Lei Kun was slack in cultivating soul power, let alone focusing on strengthening his physical body.
Therefore, Lei Kun’s physical body was very fragile.
But Lei Kun’s resurrected corpse exhibited incomparable hardness, surpassing Liu Ming, the strongest body in the inner sect, by a margin.
Additionally, the astonishing combat power he displayed now, with the scarlet soul power bursting from his corpse, was vastly different from when he was alive.
“What exactly happened to Lei Kun?” Lin Qian thought, perplexed as he watched from a distance.
Moments later, Lin Qian noticed the scarlet soul power on Lei Kun’s corpse gradually dimming, becoming incapable of resisting Zhao Long’s offensive.
“Die!” Zhao Long, seizing the opportunity, growled lowly and thrust his spear forward, piercing through Lei Kun’s heart.
Lei Kun’s heart was punctured, and he spat out blackened blood.
Zhao Long’s face tensed as he quickly withdrew his spear, retreating to the side to avoid the black blood.
Lei Kun’s corpse staggered back several steps, clutching the heart area with his hand, as pitch-black blood seeped incessantly through the gaps between his fingers.
“You humans… you truly deserve to die for ruining my big plans,” Lei Kun’s corpse glared at Lin Qian, filled with resentment. “In the future, you’d better not fall into my hands.”
After saying this, Lei Kun’s corpse fell backward onto the ground, lifeless.
Simultaneously, the black blood from the heart area ceased flowing.
Zhao Long spun the spear in his hand, eventually securing it firmly in his grip with a flick, causing a splash of black blood to land on the ground, leaving the spear tip untainted.
Nailing the spear into the ground, Zhao Long approached Lin Qian, bowed with his fists together, and said, “Glad to be of service!”
“Well done, you didn’t disappoint me,” Lin Qian nodded in admiration at Zhao Long.
Pride showed on Zhao Long’s face as he lifted his head following Lin Qian’s praise.
“Let’s head back first,” Lin Qian then told Zhao Long.
Receiving Lin Qian’s command, Zhao Long pulled the spear from the ground, his body enveloped in white light, disappearing from the spot and returning to the Huaxia Empire.
At this moment, Lin Qian also approached Lei Kun’s corpse. That face still held that hateful expression.
A fist-sized hole appeared in the heart area, caused by Zhao Long’s spear earlier.
The edge of the wound was tainted with black blood, and a pool of black blood had started to flow beneath the corpse.
After gazing at the corpse for a while, Lin Qian flicked his finger, and Thunder Soul Power morphed into a tiny blade like a sword, slicing at Lei Kun’s corpse’s arm.
The small blade formed by Thunder Soul Power easily created a small cut on Lei Kun’s body’s arm before sinking into the soil.
Surprisingly, red blood seeped from the wound!
“The astonishing strength of this initially miraculous body vanished, and there’s actually red blood…” Lin Qian frowned as he spotted the red blood seeping from the wound.
As he noticed the fresh blood on Lei Kun’s corpse’s mouth, he inevitably recalled the scene where the other devoured the hearts of two outer sect disciples and drank fresh blood, lost in thought.
Suddenly, the sound of air being split apart rang out, and a purple and a blue Soul Light appeared in mid-air, descending to the ground.
After the Soul Light dissipated, four people appeared.
Qin Wushuang, Wei Wushuang, Lei Qian, and Lei Heng!
Evidently, the purple Soul Light was Lei Heng bringing Lei Qian, and the blue Soul Light was Qin Wushuang bringing the still feigning sick Wei Wushuang.
“Kun’er!” Lei Heng, seeing the corpse on the ground, rushed forward, his face changing dramatically.
Qin Wushuang also stepped forward, gazing at Lei Kun’s corpse lying in the black blood, his face showing a different color, “What… what happened here?”
“Boss, it has been settled?” Lei Qian sighed, looking at Lin Qian as he observed Lei Kun’s corpse on the ground.
Lin Qian nodded silently and spoke, “Though it was Lei Kun’s body moving, internally, he was no longer your brother, so I made no effort to hold back.”
“How is it possible that there’s a Black Blood Clan in Coastal State?” At that moment, Wei Wushuang, who had come with them, suddenly exclaimed.
“Black Blood Clan?” Upon hearing Wei Wushuang’s words, Lin Qian and the others were taken aback, glancing over, evidently curious to discover what was truly going on.
