Chapter 584: Rescue (Part 3) [V6C114 – Sorrow of a Silent Parting]



The vampire’s finger landed toward the rear of the dark race formation . In front was the broken outer wall of the stronghold through which numerous dark race soldiers were squeezing in . A steady rain of origin bullets, grenades, and cannon shells were flying out from within the stronghold to mow the enemy soldiers down but could hardly slow down their charging momentum .

Within the chaotic crowds, there was an unassuming figure marching along with the dark race army . He was a bit more nimble than the surrounding warriors and managed to gain a speed advantage after traveling several hundred meters—but that was the extent of it .

From the surface, he looked to be a vampire blood knight . If one had to point out something wrong with him, it was the fact that the dark race soldiers around him were all falling down for no good reason .

The vampire elder watched him intently for a while before adjusting the image to display the distribution of origin power . Hence, a flickering red light appeared on the knight’s body, the representation of blood energy . Its quality wasn’t that good, either, and more or less the same as others of the same rank .

The vampire elder’s brows locked even tighter . That blood knight’s squad was already approaching the Bai clan outer walls . The entire display was filled with dazzling lights and origin explosions with a multitude of dark race soldiers either charging, dodging, or falling down—he could hardly make out anything else amidst the chaos .

The elder pondered as he moved his fingers and switched the scene to another corner of the battlefield . Here, a beautiful human girl had just scuttled out of the rubble and arrived behind two werewolves . There was an exceptionally broad cleaver in her hand with which she swung casually and cut open the necks of the two werewolves .

This swing was delivered with monstrous speed . The two charging werewolves couldn't even react in time and only discovered that they had been attacked after their necks had been cut through . But the grave injury to their vitals caused them to collapse to the ground, spasming helplessly as their blood flowed out .

The damage caused by this strike was unsalvageable, but it wasn’t enough to kill immediately, either . The key issue here was that the girl wasn’t even trying to make them suffer more . She was only conserving as much energy as possible .

The inertia of the large cleaver didn’t end there . It completed its remaining trajectory arc in the air and spun the girl’s frail body along with it, projecting a direct view of her face on the image . The vampire elder’s eyes couldn’t help but contract . This young human girl was considered beautiful, even by vampire standards . However, her methods actually caused him to feel a faint chill in his heart .



The old vampire’s fingers brushed past her image, eliciting a faint white glow from the girl’s body . However, there were strands of black energy mixed in within .

The milky white glow was naturally daybreak origin power, and that was a normal thing—the strange thing was the black energy . The old vampire had recognized it as demonic energy of the demonkin . How could it appear on her body? Was this yet another mixed-breed?

It was at this time that the old man seemed to think of something and moved the image back to the strange blood knight from a while ago . The latter was just leaping over a wide patch of ruins, but he seemed unable to control his momentum upon landing and crashed into an arachne . The half-human spider was actually sent staggering backward from the impact .

The arachne’s human half spun around and glared at the blood knight, but he didn’t rage . He kept silent because he understood, from the collision just now, that the latter was much stronger than himself .

The blood knight ignored everything and simply rushed toward the outer wall . The arachne was just about to take a step forward when his movements turned sluggish all of a sudden . He swayed unsteadily for a while and finally collapsed, never to get up again .

At this point, the vampire elder could no longer remain silent . He waved a hand and said in a raspy voice, “Tell Russel to bring that strange child to me . ”

A vampire count nearby bowed with the utmost respect . “As you command . ”

The elder spoke no more and only continued to observe the blood knight .

In the battlefield, Qianye had made his way to the frontlines and his ears were filled with shouts and explosions . He moved close to the backside of a high-ranking vampire warrior and tapped lightly on his back . An extremely sharp origin power cut through the latter’s armor and skin . The attack left an indiscernible wound and, at the same time, injected a wisp of purple blood energy into it .



The area between the outer and inner stronghold walls was a land of death . The air above was covered in a hail of bullets while swords clashed upon the ground . That high-ranking vampire warrior sensed Qianye’s aura but paid little attention to a small collision from a comrade before pouncing toward a nearby Bai clan soldier . But as he activated his blood energy, his entire body trembled and slowly collapsed to the ground .

Qianye was just about to approach a werewolf in the same pattern when a sense of uneasiness arose in his heart . He turned back all of a sudden and saw a vampire expert in black armor flying rapidly toward him . His blood energy was almost aboil and dotted with flickering specks of golden fire .

Auric flame blood!

His sparse golden stars were a far cry from Qianye’s own, but the presence of auric flame blood was a telltale sign that the transformation had begun . The actual combat strength of this incoming vampire count was well above his rank .


Qianye was confident in dealing with ordinary counts, but he wasn’t so sure about an expert with auric flame blood . He stopped trying to hide his tracks and darted forward diagonally, soon turning into a blurry shadow .

However, that vampire count quickly adjusted his direction and made a beeline for Qianye . Be it the dark race soldiers or Bai clan warriors, everyone along the way was sent staggering back by the impact .

At this point, Qianye realized that he had been compromised, although he couldn’t figure out just how the other party had discovered him amidst the chaos of battle . But he had already crossed the battlefield according to plan and would be able to enter the Bai clan battlefront in just a few steps .

Qianye scanned the battle situation around him, adjusted his steps, and flashed behind a broken wall in the ruins .

The vampire count sneered upon seeing this . He raised his speed abruptly and charged toward Qianye . He ignored everything along the way—not to mention broken walls and rubble, even intact buildings were crashed through .

The sudden appearance of a vampire count drew the attention of the Bai clan with several snipers atop the stronghold turning their aim toward him . Atop the tower, Bai Longjia looked down at the count and then glanced around him as though he had recalled something . The Bai clan general issued no special orders and simply allowed the vampire to charge toward the frontlines .

Russel charged toward the place where Qianye had disappeared and erupted with blood energy, destroying the entire patch of rubble . Stone and metal fragments flew out in all directions, prompting the soldiers of both factions to run for their lives .

But Russel didn’t relax at all, and the blood energy around him grew even denser . As expected, a sword flew toward him right through the dust cloud .

It was an unassuming heavy blade . There were faintly discernible origin patterns on its body which meant that it was no ordinary sword—but that was the extent of it . Those origin patterns acted like receptacles for origin power but showed no signs of erupting with great might .

A shield appeared in Russel’s grasp with a swing of his left hand, with which he sought to block East Peak’s assault . The man’s build was far bigger than that of ordinary vampires, and his shield was as tall as an ordinary person . A slight shift was enough to defend his frontside completely .

The vampire count wasn’t on pure defense—he crashed forward as the shield appeared, poised to knock Qianye over with absolute force . Countless negligent opponents had been wounded by Russel’s heavy first strike, which exceeded the power of an arachne .

Qianye made no motion to evade . The Dark Thread Crystals on his blade flowed with increasing speed and power . He let out an abrupt roar before slashing down at the center of the giant shield!

This blade was a perfect coordination between his origin power and powerful constitution—the damage was unprecedented .

An ear-piercing metallic screech resounded as the blade and shield came into contact . A faint ring of origin power rippled outward and spread to all directions . All the soldiers within several dozen meters, who had failed to escape in time, fell to the ground . They covered their ears in agony as fresh blood flowed out from between their fingers .

Russel’s body was greatly shaken . His face became bright scarlet, and he couldn’t help but take two steps back . Qianye’s blood energy also welled up as he, too, took two steps backward .

They were actually an even match!

Extremely shocked, Russel revealed half a face from behind the shield and stared fixedly at Qianye . Having received orders to intercept Qianye, he naturally understood that the other party was abnormal . That was why he hadn’t held back at all with his attacks . But he had never imagined that the other party would be able to fight on equal grounds against him .

For creatures of either camp, strength was often directly proportional to body size . Russel possessed extraordinary talent—his strength was no weaker than an arachne of the same level, and his physique was also much bigger than ordinary vampires . This person before him wasn’t short, but his build was clearly quite frail . Could this mean that his origin power level was far superior?

Russel shook his head inwardly and refuted this possibility . The origin power instilled within the attack just now was of the void attribute . Although its factional affinity was unclear, he could say with certainty that the other party was only at the viscount rank .

At this moment, Qianye wasn’t as calm as he seemed on the surface . He stood with the blade as support and did his utmost to hide the slight trembling of his hands . That exchange just now was one of those rare occasions in which he had failed to overwhelm the opponent with force . The only reason Qianye hadn’t taken a loss was because he had accumulated his power in advance and East Peak was superior to the man’s giant shield . It was an advantage in weapons .

Qianye’s blood core was beating wildly in his chest . Almost all his blood transformed into a stream of golden flames, transporting great power to every inch of his body . The intense numbness brought about by the collision vanished and new power gushed out continuously .

Qianye sensed his power rising . At the same time, he could sense every inch of his body and every little minute detail was under his control . This kind of sensation was quite wondrous and almost intoxicating .

Russel’s simple crash had actually caused Qianye’s auric flame blood to increase in level . It was now quite close to filling his entire body . At that stage, upgrading to a first-rank viscount would only be a matter of time .

But after the current fight, Qianye knew he wasn’t this count’s match . He might have a chance if he could land a Shot of Inception, but that would draw a lot of unwanted attention in such a battlefield—especially that of the giant warship above .

“You…” Russel opened his mouth slowly as a flash of doubt ran through his mind .
