Chapter 193 – Blood-Drinking Marquis Xiaoqike

The cabin suddenly filled with a thick, nauseating metallic scent of blood that would make anyone present vomit instantly.

Yet Ye Kuang remained stone-faced, kicking the door open and plunging his hands directly into a shadowy figure’s chest.

“Gah… cough… You’re Ye Kuang!”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang’s icy eyes and frigid expression remained unchanged, his voice cold as death itself as he uttered a devil’s verdict: “Correct!”

With those words, his arms suddenly exerted force, leaving two halves of a black corpse splattered across the steel walls on both sides.

“I’m unkillable!”

Smash!

Ye Kuang clearly paid no heed, instead stomping hard on the blood core glowing with crimson light, followed by a series of crisp cracking sounds.

“NO!!!”

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Flames suddenly erupted before his eyes as the Blood Clan member spontaneously combusted without any external fire.

When he looked again, the Blood Clan figure had completely vanished.

Witnessing this, Ye Kuang snorted coldly and strode deeper into the cabin.

But the scene that met his eyes was utterly horrifying.

A shadowy figure was biting into someone’s neck, wearing an expression of pure ecstasy.

“Release him.”

“So you’re Ye Kuang?”

“I said release him.”

“All of you, go keep him company. Don’t let this brat disturb my dining time.”

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Instantly, countless shadowy figures interwove through the air, lunging fiercely toward him.

Everywhere he looked, black wings spread wide—all were Viscount and Earl-level blood slaves.

“Seeking death!!!” Seeing this, Ye Kuang could hardly contain his rage. Without a second thought, he unleashed his long-prepared technique: “Twin Dragons Draw Water.”

Roar! Roar! Roar!

In that moment, the entire cabin seemed filled with chaotic dragons, creating an overwhelming killing momentum as violent winds raged.

It could be said that now, only opponents at the Late Innate Stage or above could pose any real threat to Ye Kuang.

Amidst the series of explosive sounds, the blood slaves in the air were violently torn apart by the rampant force, instantly dismembered and transformed into a torrential downpour of black rain.

Ye Kuang watched this scene with complete indifference, then repeatedly clenched his hands, each movement unleashing the lethal glow of Dragon Claw Hand.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Everything happened too quickly. In the next moment, blood cores scattered across the ground exploded one after another.

Within three breaths, the previously menacing horde of monsters had all vanished into ashes like blooming fireworks.

This drew a shocked gaze from the last Blood Clan member, who was still biting a neck and sucking blood.

“Impressive! Truly impressive! To possess such immense power—heavens help me indeed. If I could drain all your blood, I wonder if it would allow me to evolve on the spot?”

But as he finished speaking, the shadowy figure bared its fangs. Beneath the pale face, there was no trace of humanity—only a pair of beast-like silver pupils gleaming with dangerous light.

“I am the Bloodthirsty Marquis Xiao Qike. A pleasure to meet you.”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang responded with equal coldness: “Are you done talking?”

Swish!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qike struck first.

A sneak attack!

His speed was so fast it was nearly invisible to the naked eye, instantly closing the distance between them as he lunged forward.

Seeing the attack coming, Ye Kuang transformed his hand into a claw and grabbed—only to find himself gripping the other’s neck?”Huh…” But by the time he realized what was happening, a dull thunderclap erupted violently against his chest.

Ye Kuang staggered backward repeatedly, inevitably spitting out a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, his opponent’s figure from moments earlier dissipated like a bubble, vanishing without a trace.

Three zhang away, Xiao Qike stood with a mocking, approving smile: “Not bad, not bad. Taking one of my heavy punches without vomiting blood—I must say, you really have some skill.”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang abruptly raised his head, his gaze instantly releasing a overwhelming surge of energy.

In that instant, Xiao Qike felt his mind and body grow heavy, his expression shifting wildly.

And then, Ye Kuang closed the distance in the blink of an eye!

Boom!

Following the loud impact, Xiao Qike couldn’t conceal his shock as he was sent spinning off the ground, crashing hard against an iron plate.

Little did he know, in the time it takes to say it, it was already over.

Clearly, Xiao Qike hadn’t expected this seemingly ordinary human to be just as fast!

Pfft!

At this thought, Xiao Qike violently spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Seeing this perfect opportunity, how could Ye Kuang let it slip? He immediately followed up with a fierce downward kick, clearly aiming to strike while the iron was hot.

Whoosh!

The sharpness of the leg’s wind brought an inexplicable pressure even before it arrived.

Xiao Qike reacted to the sound, his claws spreading open as he met the attack head-on.

Boom!

The violent gust of wind roared like thunder in their ears.

But it had to be said, though Xiao Qike seemed overconfident, he was no ordinary opponent.

Ye Kuang was genuinely shocked and surprised to see his powerful kick blocked.

In fact, it was only at this moment that he realized his opponent’s strength level was clearly above the Innate Middle Stage!

At this realization, he couldn’t help but roar: “Can you withstand this one hundred and eighty years of power?”

“Break for me!”

As he spoke, his power surged dramatically. Though his leg still ached, it couldn’t conceal his sharp, imposing presence.

Clang!

A metallic tremor rang out, followed by an unbearable buzzing in their ears.

Ye Kuang’s kick not only struck his opponent’s neck fiercely but also left him temporarily immobilized.

Xiao Qike: “Bastard! How dare you show such disrespect to the great Marquis of Blood Devouring? You deserve death!”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang didn’t waste words, immediately launching another lightning-fast kick.

Crack-boom!

The thunderous explosion echoed incessantly in their ears.

Xiao Qike endured another powerful blow, his chest bones seemingly shattered as he continuously vomited black and green blood, roaring in fury.

Hearing these angry howls, Ye Kuang’s expression suddenly changed.

He saw Xiao Qike suddenly burst out of his black robe, lightly flapping a pair of silver wings that simultaneously boosted his speed and power!

Ye Kuang only felt a silver flash pass before his eyes as several strands of hair fell from the right side of his face.

Xiao Qike: “This Marquis has decided to let you personally experience what fear before death truly feels like.”

Ye Kuang couldn’t help but be moved by these words, but in the next blink, his figure sprang into action as well.

Crossing Great Rivers!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In that instant, boundless Vigorous Qi burst forth, leaving behind afterimages amidst endless wind, thunder, and tiger roars.

Ye Kuang’s speed reached its peak. A few torn cloth fragments drifted from his palm as he stood back-to-back with his opponent.Seeing this, Xiao Qike couldn’t help but change his expression, then inevitably lowered his head to repeatedly glance at his torn clothing corner – clearly enraged as well.

Ye Kuang: “We’re even now!”

It could be said that as his words fell, his invincible confidence made his domineering aura increasingly prominent.

“Do you know you’ve missed your only chance to win?” Xiao Qike coldly initiated a Dao Inquiry.

Ye Kuang responded to the voice immediately, obviously unwilling to waste more words with his opponent. He abruptly turned and unleashed a fierce barrage of punches and kicks toward the front.

Bam bam bam!

In the blink of an eye, two afterimages remarkably demonstrated what it meant to perfectly embody speed and power.

Every time they collided, it resembled continuous claps of thunder.

Just like golden and silver streaks of lightning frequently flashing past each other, then mutually dissolving into nothingness.
