My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 19 Why the Madness?

What is this?

Before it could think, the bloody monster stood up again, letting out a strange roar, and several magical circuits appeared on its body.

The next moment, a sharp spike shot out of its mouth.

Vichy quickly turned her head, and the sharp spike narrowly pierced her right cheek.

But the alarm bells in Vichy's heart never stopped ringing; the blood intent she had cultivated was still warning her that the crisis was not over.

As expected, the monster swung its head violently, and the spikes it spat out split into even smaller spikes, raining down on Vishi.

"not good!"

Without hesitation, Vichy had no choice but to confront the attack head-on, swinging his fists at high speed to shatter most of the blood spikes that were shot out.

Some of the impacts still struck her body, causing no serious injury, but leaving her with a numbing sensation.

It's poison!

This move is a Tier 1 blood magic, Poison Blood Spike!

Vixi dared not be negligent. She took a few steps back and moved away from the monster's attack range. She then took out the pills that Shi Qing had made for her from the small pouch at her waist, which relieved the dizziness caused by the poison.

After the sudden encounter, Vishi finally realized that this was not a fair and square arena, without the protection of resurrection spells, and without any fancy tricks; this was a real place of battle!

But she didn't complain; she just focused her attention on the monster.

Although vampire magic is driven by magic power, it also consumes the vampire's own blood as a casting material.

Judging from the opponent's aura, casting a blood magic spell must have consumed a considerable amount of energy.

Having figured out the situation, Vichy didn't hesitate any longer and sprinted away.

Just as she had predicted, the monster had indeed expended a considerable amount of energy and was temporarily unable to move.

Faced with Vishi's attack, it could only let out strange cries, and in a few moments, Vishi punched it through the chest, shattering the magic core inside its body.

But before Vichy could even rejoice for a moment, several more blood-poisoned spikes shot out from the shadows!

Fortunately, Vichy never let his guard down and with a few spins and jumps, he leaped onto the tree trunk.

Through the slivers of sunlight filtering through the tree canopy, she witnessed a rather horrifying scene.

The corpses that had just been floating everywhere were densely packed together!

They emerged from the shadows, gazing at her like undead creatures.

"How come there are so many of these monsters here?"

Vichy felt a sudden unease.

Should we continue deeper into the forest? Or take another detour?

She hesitated, and considered going back to ask her teacher for advice.

But in the end, she suppressed the idea. She couldn't rely on her teacher for everything; she had to have her own ideas.

After weighing the number of pills in his bag and pondering for a moment, Vishi decided to continue exploring this place further.

The Blood Python Fist can only be tempered in life-or-death crises.

Moreover, as a member of the vampire clan, she was genuinely curious about what had happened here, where these floating corpse monsters came from, and why the Green Valley Dungeon had been sealed off.

.......

Vichy's battle was not easy.

She had never faced so many opponents at the same time.

It took her nearly four hours from engaging the enemy to ending the battle.

Looking down at the pile of flesh and blood, a stench of death almost assaulted her nose.

She staggered a few times, collapsed to the ground, exhausted. She took some water and food from her pouch and ate a few bites.

"This feeling is really different from the arena."

Vichy sighed, feeling the long-lost emptiness in his body.

If Shi Qing hadn't prepared a lot for her beforehand, she probably would have had to flee in defeat halfway through the fight.

She realized for the first time why Shi Qing's first lesson to her was about cultivating immortality through the three stages of cultivation.

I have cultivated my body, but I am very confused about the aspects of treasure and Dharma.

But there are gains as well as losses. She felt that her blood and bones had grown a few inches longer, and her blood flames were now able to condense blood energy and emit external martial flames, which were comparable to first-tier magic.

The bloodlust gradually became clearer through the previous warnings and evasions, and her premonition of killing intent and threat was no longer vague.

The teacher said this is a sign that the first level of Blood Python Fist, "Initial Understanding of the Fist's Intent," is about to be perfected.

But she had no clue how to get to the level of "breaking iron like mud".

To achieve the skill of "breaking iron like mud," one needs to have a comprehensive understanding and create one's own unique moves.

Fortunately, Vichy was always an open-minded person, and she didn't dwell on things that were unclear. After resting for a while, she got up again and continued her journey into the depths of the forest.

......

at the same time.

Inside Gem City, Hegesius was discussing the capture of the Blood Demon with the city's defense commander, Edith.

"Excuse my bluntness, Miss Edith, but why is Mr. Ryan so certain that he will enter a dungeon?"

Hegesius asked, puzzled, "The Blood Demon always targets the innocent; he rarely even targets those who are extraordinary."

Instead of answering Hegesius’s question directly, Edith, who was sitting across the long table, asked him a question.

"Lord Hegeusius, let's not beat around the bush. Do you know why Mr. Ryan's attitude changed?"

Hegesius: "He said there's only one possibility he'd help me, so, it was the Blood Demon who attacked the vampires?"

Edith stared at Hegesius, her beautiful eyes filled with interrogation and scrutiny, as if trying to determine how much the knight commander actually knew.

"Am I wrong?"

"...No, you're right, the Blood Demon has attacked."

Edith pushed over a sketch, the bloody scene of which even made the Law Knight frown deeply.

Many corpses were hollowed out, and their blood formed a small river in the town's roads.

Without a doubt, Blood Demon's actions show that he has become utterly depraved and has completely abandoned his principles.

"Vampires are born with magical abilities; even the lowest bloodline possesses three magical paths. Killing one vampire is equivalent to killing ten commoners."

"It sounds like you know everything about the Blood Demon's growth."

When confronted with Hegesius’s questioning, Edith simply smiled but did not respond.

"Let's get back to the point, Knight."

"There's no doubt that the Green Valley Dungeon will attract the Blood Demon."

"There's only one thing we need to discuss: how many knightly orders can you mobilize?"

Heger Xiusheng immediately sensed that something was amiss.

How many knightly orders can be mobilized?

How many knights are needed to kill a Blood Demon?

As a third-tier knight, he led all the Law Knights in a charge, and even fourth-tier knights would be severely injured.

Do we really need more troops to deal with a Blood Demon?

"Okay, let me remind you one more time."

"Sargeras the Blood Demon, he is one of the Shadow Children."

"The Empire has just suffered a great loss."

Upon hearing this, Hegeus's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately realized that he had made a grave mistake.

"This is not an arrest, this is a war, sir."

Edith stood up and sighed, "Why has the Blood Demon been able to remain at large? Is he truly gifted?"

No, sir.

He can get away with it because the vampires need him to.

And the empire was allowing him to roam free.

We, you, everyone is waiting for an outcome.
