Chapter 15 – Emperor-Class Star Beast?

Bloodsucking Leech?

Qin Yang felt deeply perplexed by the system’s prompt information.

Why did it mention Blood Demon one moment and Leech the next?

Was this Blood Demon human or animal?

Just then, a light screen appeared in Qin Yang’s mind.

Race: Bloodsucking Leech (contains ancient demon bloodline)

Level: Emperor-Class

Innate Abilities: Bloodsucking, Parasitism, Undying Clone

Characteristics: Fond of sucking human blood

“Wait…”

Qin Yang frowned as he looked at the light screen before him.

Suddenly, he recalled the biological characteristics of leeches.

They typically live in paddy fields – soft, boneless creatures capable of parasitizing human bodies and feeding on blood!

Once a leech’s sucker attaches to skin, it becomes extremely difficult to remove by hand.

Could it be that the bloodsucking leech mentioned by the system… was currently parasitizing a human host?!

At this thought, Qin Yang felt a chill run down his spine, his sense of crisis instantly exploding!

“Could it be that the Bloodthirsty Fiend isn’t dead?”

Thinking this, Qin Yang redirected his attention to the video before him, focusing on its content.

The video’s progress bar advanced slowly.

In the video, guards were stationed around the execution ground.

The Bloodthirsty Fiend knelt with knees touching the ground, wearing a burlap hood and black-and-white striped prisoner uniform.

An executioner drew a long sword, gathered his energy, and suddenly swung it at the fiend’s neck.

Thud! Roll…

With the swift fall of the blade!

As the head in the execution video fell to the ground and rolled away, it signaled the end of the Bloodthirsty Fiend’s life.

At this moment, Xia He chewed large mouthfuls of roasted pork slices while pointing at the headless corpse in the video, mumbling indistinctly: “This old fiend is finally dead, good riddance! This really goes well with the meal!”

He seemed as happy as if he had personally slain his enemy.

However, Qin Yang didn’t respond to the remark, instead frowning as he suddenly realized the situation might be very bad.

Had the Bloodthirsty Fiend…

truly died?

If it was really as he had just speculated.

That a Bloodsucking Leech was behind this.

Then wouldn’t the Star Martial Police Department’s beheading execution be completely in vain?

After all, a human possessed by a leech was merely equivalent to a puppet.

For the Bloodsucking Leech, discarding such a vessel would pose no problem at all.

After losing its physical body, it only needed to spend some effort finding another vessel.

In other words, the Star Martial Police Department’s execution had achieved absolutely nothing!

“Reincarnating through different corpses – how is this different from immortality?”

Contemplating this bizarre ability, Qin Yang couldn’t help but feel concerned.

An unkillable tenacious lifeform, combined with the substitution technique of controlling human puppets, was indeed extremely dangerous.

“After Emperor-Level Star Beasts comes Emperor-Class Star Beasts…”

Thinking this, Qin Yang felt some lingering fear.

What were Emperor-Class Star Beasts like?

He had never heard of them before!

Even the Comprehensive Guide to Fierce Beasts in the Library contained no relevant records.

Their unknown nature was precisely what made them most terrifying!

“The reason nobody has recorded them is probably because those who encountered Emperor-Class Star Beasts were immediately devoured upon meeting them.”

“Without even having time to leave behind final words!”

Qin Yang mentally deduced the strength level of Emperor-Class Star Beasts.

Without doubt, star beasts of their caliber had long surpassed the Grandmaster Realm!

No, they were probably even stronger!Even Grandmaster Realm experts might be nothing more than ants that could be casually devoured before them!

“Terrifying, this is truly horrifying.”

Qin Yang shook his head, his heart unsettled and filled with doubt. “This world is indeed far too dangerous.”

Although the system’s warnings were always a bit… unreliable.

He absolutely couldn’t let his guard down completely.

“I’m not afraid of the system’s warnings being inaccurate—what I fear is the day they suddenly become accurate… that would truly spell disaster.”

If a world-ending Star Beast appeared while he was still treating threats like stepping on cockroaches…

Without any preparation, the outcome would undoubtedly be certain death.

Thinking this, Qin Yang secretly made up his mind.

The same old mantra applied:

Lay low and develop steadily, stay cautious and don’t get reckless.

As for actively seeking out the Bloodsucking Leech? Don’t even mention it.

If the sky falls, the tall will hold it up. The Star Martial Police Department had plenty of capable people—they would naturally handle any solutions needed.

As for small fries like him, why worry unnecessarily?

Better to just live a steady, ordinary life!

“Burp… Old Qin, are you free after work tonight?”

Xia He, sitting across the table, let out a satisfied belch and patted his full stomach, saying:

“Thanks for bailing me out last time. To celebrate the death of the Bloodthirsty Fiend, I’ll treat you to some fun at Platinum Ocean!”

Hearing this, Qin Yang’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

Here we go again, this guy…

Always with Platinum Ocean…

With the city still unstable, he needed to be extra careful.

So Qin Yang decisively raised his hand and politely declined, “I have some plans tonight. Maybe next time… definitely next time.”

“Next time again? What’s going on with you, man?”

Hearing Qin Yang’s refusal, Xia He frowned slightly. “I’m treating to repay you for bailing me out last time… and you’re turning down a free ticket?”

“No need. I feel like Jianghai City hasn’t been too peaceful lately.”

As he spoke, Qin Yang suddenly remembered something and quietly advised, “You should be careful when you’re out and about too.”

“Be careful? Ah, Old Qin, I really don’t get what you’re so afraid of. The Bloodthirsty Fiend is dead now—what else is there to fear?”

Xia He rolled his eyes, his tone dripping with disdain.

“I…”

At this, Qin Yang fell silent for a moment and didn’t continue the conversation, instead changing the subject.

An inexplicable premonition lingered in his heart.

It wouldn’t be long before the Bloodthirsty Fiend reappeared in the city.

But without proof, he had no evidence.

Even if he told others, what good would it do?

In their eyes, he was just a low-talent library administrator…

Who would believe him?

“In the end, I’m still too weak.”

For the rest of the time, Qin Yang refocused his attention on the Enlightenment Space, continuing to merge martial arts.

He was preparing to make another breakthrough.

…………

Late at night.

Star Martial Police Department, Crematorium.

The massive incinerator roared, blasting hot air through the dimly lit room.

A headless male corpse lay on a cold slab, eyes wide open and bloodshot, staring fixedly at the ceiling as if in eternal rage.

Squelch.

A strange sound of tearing flesh echoed.

The next moment.

A massive, blood-red leech burst out of the body, landing on the floor with a wet thud—an utterly bizarre sight.

Just then.

A series of hurried footsteps echoed from outside the door.The crematorium door slowly opened, and a worker walked in with a phone tucked under his ear.

“Hey, honey, can you hear me? The signal’s bad in this corpse room. I’ve got emergency overtime tonight—the higher-ups sent down an urgent job. I’ll head home as soon as I’m done. You go to sleep first.”

He tilted his head to press the phone against his shoulder, pulled on rubber gloves, and prepared to begin cremation.

“Gotta go now. The workload tonight is heavy. I’ll explain in detail when I get back.”

Yet before his words faded—

The bloodsucking leech on the floor seized its chance, suddenly coiled its body, and launched itself like a spring onto his skin!

Devouring flesh and blood, it burrowed directly into his body!

In an instant!

The man’s entire body stiffened!

Moments later, a sinister crimson glow flickered in his eyes.
