Maria leaped over the courtyard wall, with Connington following closely behind her.
Suddenly, pairs of red dots appeared in the pitch-dark night, staring directly at the two of them, the air filled with murderous intent.
“It’s me!”
Only after Connington spoke did the vigilance dissipate.
The reason for choosing to hide in the suburbs was that beings at the Ancestor Level like them could conceal their aura.
While those at the Blood Emperor Level simply couldn’t do so, venturing into the city would most likely result in immediate discovery!
The two waved their hands and walked inside the courtyard wall.
Lying supine on the roof beam above was a youth, with blond hair hanging down to his shoulders, clear eyes, and a breathtakingly handsome face wearing a crisp tailcoat, the only discordance being the fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.
The youth had a human finger bone in his mouth, sucking out the marrow, the fresh victim of another’s cruel fate.
In the center of the corridor stood a burly man, bare-chested, his explosive muscles fully exposed, with the head of a wolf draped over his shoulders, holding a gleaming wolf’s tooth club as he watched the two individuals.
“Greetings to the two lords!”
One of them was the leader of the Vampire Clan, and the other was the Werewolf Clan Leader, the two significant figures leading this operation.
Although both Connington and Maria were of Ancestor Level strength, they did not dare to show the slightest disrespect towards this clan leader.
The Blood Clan has always had a strict hierarchy; even if this clan leader was just at the Blood Emperor Level, they had no choice but to obey his orders.
“Speak, how should we proceed?” the Werewolf Leader asked disdainfully with a snort.
After all, he had little regard for this group of creatures that skulked about from dusk till dawn.
However, due to the need to harness the strength of the Blood Clan to slay Xu Fan, he chose to collaborate with them.
“That would be on Xu Fan’s wedding day.
Xu Fan has already left the manor.
As we’ve investigated, there are quite a few strong individuals from Yan Country in the city.
If we act rashly, it’s very likely we’ll capsize in the gutter.
So our plan is to kidnap Xu Fan’s wife and then extort him to come alone to the suburbs!”
Connington expressed the plan he had in mind.
“We’ve also noticed that there are no fewer than a handful of individuals at the Ancestor Level currently in Shenzhen City.
Your idea is good.
But how many strong individuals are there inside that manor?” the clan leader asked after flipping off the roof beam.
“Right now, inside the manor, there is nothing but a mere Ancestor Level strong individual and several at the emperor level, truly nothing to fear!”
Maria continued.
“Very well, Xu Fan and my Blood Clan share a blood feud.
I’m curious to taste what his wife’s blood is like!”
The clan leader stretched out his tongue, licking his lips, a glint of triumph flashing in his eyes.
“It’s no problem if you want to drink her blood, but before you defile her, let our brothers from the Werewolf Clan have a bit of fun first!”
A lecherous gleam also flickered in the Werewolf Leader’s eyes.
The Werewolf Clan, known for their libidinous nature, had long heard that Xu Fan’s wife was a woman of peerless beauty, and naturally, they would not easily let this opportunity pass!
“You should worry about how you’re going to survive tonight first.”
Xu Fan’s voice, ice-cold to the extreme, echoed through the void.
In the chemical factory, the Werewolf Clan’s strong individuals and those of the Blood Clan were instantly abuzz.
Swishes of cutting wind sounded as each concealed themselves, keenly watching the direction from which the voice had come!
And it was known that the Werewolf and Blood Clans’ sense of perception was extraordinary, even more considering that there were numerous individuals of Ancestor Level present.
An ordinary person could not possibly approach undetected, not even a powerful individual at Ancestor Level could slip unnoticed under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
The arrivals did not bode well!
Maria and the members of the Blood Clan extended their wings, a cold light flickering in their eyes as they vigilantly watched above the void, in the direction the voice had come from.
The werewolves also transformed one by one, their bodies swelling rapidly, their statures suddenly towering, resembling great behemoths from a distance!
The strong individuals at the Blood Emperor Level were still unclear on the situation, but the powers at the Ancestor Level were all on high alert!
“Xu Fan!”
As Xu Fan’s figure emerged, the Werewolf Leader recognized him.
“You guessed right, but there’s no reward.
If you really must have one, then I suppose your reward will be death!”
Xu Fan’s tone shifted, and he snorted lightly, his eyes filled with endless indifference.
“It really is like finding something without even looking for it, earlier I was wondering how to lure you out of this district, never expecting you to deliver yourself to my doorstep!”
Connington sneered.
“Aren’t you the one who thought about messing with my wife?”
Xu Fan glared coldly at Connington.
If it wasn’t for this man targeting Xu Yixue, Xu Fan had planned to deal with these scumbags after the wedding, but now he couldn’t wait that long!
“So what if it was me?
You should look at the situation at hand.
You’re merely one person, while I have a full five Ancestor Level experts!”
Connington asked tentatively.
“Killing you lot, bunch of chickens and dogs, one person is more than enough!”
Xu Fan’s eyes brimmed with disdain; he could kill the whole lot in front of him in a second if he wanted to!
Upon hearing this, the Werewolf Leader flexed his wrist, and a set of Vajra Claws, incredibly sharp, sprang out from his alloy bracers, the tips gleaming coldly and chilling to the core!
Connington’s earlier concern was revealing his tracks in the city, which could have drawn Xu Fan and other powerhouses in the city to his location.
Consequently, a fierce battle tonight seemed inevitable.
But now, according to Xu Fan, he hadn’t brought any of the human race’s strongmen with him.
With this scenario, what did he have to fear?
Even if Xu Fan was powerful, could he really fight one against five?
“I should thank you for giving me the opportunity to net you all in one fell swoop.
If you scattered and ran like rats, that would indeed have given me a headache,” Xu Fan said with a mocking laugh.
“You’re full of hot air!”
The Werewolf Leader bellowed and with a fierce stamp of his feet, the cement ground splintered like a spider web, radiating from the Werewolf Leader to the surroundings.
Immediately, the Werewolf Leader swung his massive hand, and the sharp Vajra Claw effortlessly sliced through a thick Roman column, hurling it ferociously at Xu Fan!
Xu Fan casually swatted the Roman column to pieces.
The originally green eyes of the Werewolf Leader turned blood red.
He had entered a Berserk state; in this state, the strength of the werewolves increases significantly!
Furthermore, tonight was a night of the full moon, and an loud howl of a wolf rang out under the moon.
With the power of the lunar aspect further boosting him, the strength of the Werewolf Leader increased!
This is where the terror of the Werewolf Clan lay; if earlier.
The strength of the Werewolf Leader would not have been much different from that of Maria, but now in a bloodthirsty state, with the power of the lunar aspect boosting him, even if Connington and Maria joined forces, they would be no match for the Werewolf Leader!
Another Werewolf at the Ancestor Level also charged in, forcefully joining the battle!
Members of the Blood Clan, on the other hand, retreated to the side, each harboring their own schemes!
Given the strength displayed by the Werewolf Leader, he could even exchange a few blows with the Lord of Mystery.
Why then, in the Western World, is the Werewolf Clan so belittled?
Beastmen will be beastmen, their minds bursting with hot blood, devoid of any real intelligence.
The leader of the Blood Clan’s lips curled into a slight smile; with the way the Werewolf Leader was fighting, regardless of whether he could win or not, it would end with both sides suffering.
?????.??
When that time comes, the Blood Clan could swoop in and reap the benefits.
Not only would they be able to slay their archenemy Xu Fan but also take the opportunity to swallow up the Werewolf Clan.
If these two Werewolf Kings of Ancestor Level strength were to fall here, those Wolf Emperors would pose no threat at all!
The Werewolf Clan occupies a considerable swath of land in the West, something the Blood Clan had long coveted, yet lacked the opportunity to devour the Werewolf Clan.
Now the seed buried deep in their hearts had finally bloomed.
