Chapter 30 – Three Great Innates VS Bloodthirsty Leech!

“Send my Empress disciple to slay the Blood Demon?”

After hearing the system prompt.

Qin Yang frowned slightly, glancing at Li Zixuan who was reading a book.

She was only at the eighth level of the Acquired Realm.

With her current cultivation level, how could she possibly fight the Blood Demon?

Wasn’t this just sending her to her death?!

“This damn system is still as unreliable as ever!”

“It has some intelligence… but not much.”

Qin Yang shook his head, indicating he was gradually getting used to it.

With five hundred years of temporal chaos, he absolutely couldn’t follow the system’s lead.

Otherwise, he might not even get any benefits at all!

“Speaking of which, now that the Blood Demon has appeared, if I personally slay it, shouldn’t I get new rewards?!”

Qin Yang thought to himself, suddenly recalling the previous hundredfold reward multiplier.

To get a big payout from this damn system, he absolutely couldn’t follow its usual routines!

And this Bloodthirsty Leech’s head must be taken by himself!

Yes, that’s exactly right!

Thinking this.

Qin Yang’s thoughts became increasingly clear as he extended his perception toward Lishui Lake.

The terrifying aura from the Blood Demon grew increasingly dense, as if it could appear at any moment.

This head reward was something he absolutely had to get!

“If I’m late and someone else takes it first, that would be a huge loss!”

With this thought.

Qin Yang no longer hesitated, decisively leaving the railing and preparing to head out the door.

“Hey hey! Old Qin, where are you going?”

Seeing this, Xia He immediately reached out to stop him and said: “It’s still work hours now!”

“I’m going out to buy something. Keep an eye on things for me, and cover for me too. I’ll be back soon!”

Qin Yang shook off Xia He’s hand, eagerly heading toward the main door at extremely fast speed. Xia He, watching from behind, was left stunned in place.

Buy something?

What could he possibly need to buy at a time like this?

Xia He watched Qin Yang’s retreating figure, then turned to look at Li Zixuan who was reading, when suddenly an idea struck him.

“Could Old Qin still be unwilling to give up? Is he going to buy flowers to confess to Li Zixuan?!”

Xia He thought worriedly, sighing helplessly.

Remembering how all his previous attempts to dissuade him had been useless, he couldn’t help but feel concerned.

“Old Qin, please don’t do anything stupid……”

Meanwhile.

At the reading table, Li Zixuan seemed to sense something, suddenly looking up with her elegant brows furrowed as she gazed toward the southeast direction.

“Strange, such a strong bloody aura.”

“Coming from the direction of Lishui Lake… what’s happening over there?”

………….

Lishui Lake, shoreline.

The roars of low-level Star Beasts faintly echoed along the lakeshore.

Yellow and black warning lines were set up along the shore, with dozens of armed guards stationed there, using riot forks to suppress several Star Beasts.

The subdued Star Beasts roared, their noise instantly sweeping across the entire shoreline.

The sound carried for miles.

“The time has come, prepare to draw blood! Everyone to your positions!”

The Police Inspector Commander floated above Lishui Lake, holding a Star Beast that resembled a wild horse, issuing commands to all directions.

“Yes, Commander!”

Other Acquired Realm martial artists sprang into action upon hearing this, grabbing the Star Beasts assigned to them, and flew to the Commander’s side.

“Good. Today we are Jianghai City’s human defense line. We must not show the slightest relaxation.”

The Commander pressed one hand against the Star Beast’s neck, then tore violently as he shouted: “Release the blood!”

Rip!The sound of tearing flesh suddenly erupted as the low-level Star Beast’s skin burst open, flesh peeling away while foul, bloody liquid gushed forth.

Blood fell like rain upon the surface of Lishui Lake, immediately stirring ripples across the water.

Splash! Splash!

One after another, Star Beast corpses plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily into the lake.

The falling blood and bodies churned the water into raging waves!

After the last corpse sank, deathly silence fell…

Everyone on the shore held their breath, focusing their attention completely on the lake surface, waiting for the “prey” in the water to take the bait.

The Commander stared intently at the water, cold sweat streaming down his back as he murmured under his breath: “Come out, you beast.”

Vast stellar energy enveloped the lake surface, forming a massive sensory field.

At this moment, everyone sensed movement deep beneath the water.

A terrifying presence shot upward from the depths, dragging millions of pounds of water in its wake as it rapidly approached the surface.

What kind of monstrous size…

Could create such an overwhelming presence?!

Sensing this aura, Elder Li’s expression turned grave. His withered hand rested on his longsword, assuming a ready stance.

In such a critical moment, he dared not show the slightest negligence, choosing to directly unleash his killing technique.

This Sword Drawing Stance

Was precisely the swordplay he had comprehended from that murderous intent back in the valley last time.

Though merely a fragmentary understanding of an Emperor-Rank Martial Art, it had already surpassed the pinnacle of sword techniques Elder Li had mastered throughout his entire life!

“Senior, since I have received your grace, this old man shall not disgrace this mission.”

Elder Li gripped his longsword at the ready, suddenly raising his aged eyes to lock onto the southeastern corner of Lishui Lake!

“It’s coming! Everyone, strike together with me!”

The Commander’s expression tightened as he suddenly barked the order.

As his words faded,

The surface of Lishui Lake boiled and churned as if reaching boiling point, a massive whirlpool occupying over half the lake.

BOOM!

Deafening explosive sounds reverberated!

A gigantic water column shot toward the sky, white mist spreading everywhere as sunlight pierced through, creating brilliant rainbows.

A colossal black entity burst through the surface, resembling a flesh pillar that could prop up the heavens, while an acrid, rotting bloody smell instantly permeated the entire Lishui Lake.

The Bloodthirsty Leech had appeared!

When such an enormous form emerged, everyone who saw it instinctively froze for a moment.

This massive size, as immense as a mountain range, far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Some weaker Star Warriors trembled uncontrollably, their bodies shaking from primal fear.

“Everyone! Maintain formation!”

The Commander’s order rang out, his voice resonating like a great bell in everyone’s ears

Subtly containing a calming power that soothed restless hearts.

Hearing this, everyone’s agitated and panicked minds gradually calmed, no longer as frantic as before.

“Humans… so many…”

The Bloodthirsty Leech twisted its bloated limbs, sensing the floating scents across the lake surface, actually stammering out human speech.

“Die!”

As these words fell.

All present furrowed their brows, their recently calmed hearts once again stirring with panic.

“A demonic insect capable of human speech – this one has already awakened spiritual intelligence!”

Elder Li didn’t dare delay, gripping his sword hilt while bending his knees and arching his back, assuming a sword-drawing posture.

All killing intent withdrawn, gathering power.

However, the next moment—The leech entity at the center of Lishui Lake rotated its mouthparts, seemingly sensing something, and abruptly turned toward Elder Li.

“You… are dangerous!”

Some instinctual sense of crisis made it reflexively shift its focus onto Elder Li, who possessed the highest cultivation level.

Seeing this, Elder Li no longer concealed his intentions. Rage surged from his chest, veins bulging on the back of his hands as he directly drew his sword!

“Die, you beast!”
