439: Chapter Bloodline

Li Wuji's expression was indifferent, and he remained silent. Then, he slowly raised his arm.

His palm slightly curved in the air, and he clenched his hand towards Lanbox's direction from a distance.

In an instant, an invisible force suddenly erupted with Li Wuji at its center. The space around Lanbox seemed to be kneaded by an unseen giant hand, beginning to twist violently.

"Puff!" With a muffled sound, Lanbox violently spat out a large mouthful of blood.

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and he stared intently at Li Wuji.

He never expected that the person before him would be so decisive and ruthless, acting without the slightest hesitation.

"Cough, cough..."

Lanbox coughed violently while pointing a trembling finger at Li Wuji, saying with difficulty, "Lord, our clan has long been affiliated with the Great Eagle Country.

What you are doing today harms the interests of the Great Eagle Country's nobles! Aren't you afraid of their crazy retaliation?!"

However, before he could finish speaking, another mouthful of blood gushed out.

This time, the blood he spat out was mixed with some fragmented internal organs, which looked shocking.

Facing Lanbox's questioning and threats, Li Wuji remained unmoved.

His eyes were as cold as ice, and a sneer of disdain hung on the corner of his mouth as he spoke coldly.

"Hmph, you think I care about those so-called nobles of the Great Eagle Country? Are they even worthy of making me feel apprehension?"

His voice was low and cold, as if coming from the depths of the Nine Nether Hell, sending shivers down one's spine.

This was not his arrogance; he himself had reached the Mid King Realm, and later received feedback from Luo Xiu's Breakthrough and the successive Breakthroughs of some Sequencers.

Now, his strength had long surpassed what it was before, and he had even taken a big step forward on the original foundation!

Therefore, while not completely suppressing the entire Great Eagle Country, with various means, he had absolute confidence in his ability to come and go as he pleased.

And Lanbox, feeling that terrifying pressure, felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.

He knew that he had severely underestimated this mysterious expert before him.

The other party's strength not only far exceeded his imagination but also completely disregarded the threat from the Great Eagle Country.

He could clearly feel the confidence in Li Wuji's words. He did not believe that the peerless figure who could break through to the King Realm before him was a fool.

Since he wasn't a fool, the person before him possessed absolute confidence.

"Lord..."

Lanbox gritted his teeth, cold sweat dripping down his cheeks. In the end, he chose to back down.

After all, the lives of his Family were in the other party's hands.

Better a dead friend than a dead poor one; he knew what he should do.

"That secret formula is indeed jointly held by the Three Great Blood Ancestors. Even if I hand over the part I have, you won't be able to fully grasp it.

Moreover, the three things required for this secret formula can only be used by my clan. It's truly useless for you to take it.

And once you activate it, the Three Great Blood Ancestors will definitely notice. By then..."

"By then?"

Li Wuji directly waved his hand. The next moment, exclamations were heard from outside the room, followed by the sounds of battle.

"By then, I will personally go find them. As for you, you just need to make a choice now—hand it over, or not?"

Lanbox's face turned extremely ugly. He knew that he had no way out.

Facing a King Realm Expert with unfathomable strength, any resistance was futile.

The sounds outside the room became increasingly intense. He could feel that his clansmen were actually falling at a rapid pace!

"Lord, no, Lord, please don't kill anymore. I am willing to hand over the part of the secret formula of my clan,"

Lanbox shouted urgently, "Please, Lord, agree to spare the elderly and young of my Lanbo Ke Family."

"Very well, a wise man submits to circumstances." Li Wuji said lightly, "First, hand over the secret formula."

Lanbox did not dare to delay in the slightest. He quickly took out a blood-red crystal from his embrace and offered it with both hands.

"Lord, this is the part of the secret formula held by my Lanbo Ke Family, called the 'Blood Origin Contract'.

It requires our clan to convert Blood Origin using special means, and then use this Blood Origin Contract to convert it into special energy before proceeding to the next step!"

Lanbox explained quickly, as the fighting outside had not stopped, and every second's delay meant the fall of a clansman!

"But this is only a part of the secret formula. The other two parts are held by the other two families."

Li Wuji took the crystal, a flicker of interest in his eyes. He gently rubbed the surface of the crystal, feeling the strange energy contained within.

"Blood Origin Contract..."

Li Wuji murmured softly, circulating his power to probe it, but found no abnormality.

"It is somewhat special."

Seeing that Li Wuji seemed interested in the secret formula, Lanbox breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It was also at this moment that the sounds outside gradually subsided.

Only then did he completely relax. He then cautiously looked at Li Wuji.

"Lord, if you are willing, I can introduce you to the other two Blood Ancestors. Perhaps you can obtain the complete secret formula through negotiation."

Hearing this, Li Wuji's mouth curved slightly upwards, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Negotiation?" He chuckled lightly, "Do you think I need to negotiate with them?"

Lanbox's heart tightened, and he immediately realized he had said the wrong thing.

This expert before him was clearly not someone who played by the rules, and under the other party's gaze, he always felt as if he was being seen through completely.

"Lord, please forgive me, I spoke too much."

Lanbox quickly lowered his head to apologize, his heart pounding in his throat.

The pressure exerted by a King Realm was too great; the fate of his entire Family rested on the other party's single thought!

Li Wuji seemed not to have heard Lanbox's terrified appearance. He calmly put the crystal, which was crystal clear and emitted a mysterious light, into his storage ring.

"You indeed don't need to say more, because I happen to want to investigate it myself!"

Upon hearing this, Lanbox's body trembled violently, the look of fear on his face intensified, and his lips trembled as he tried to say something: "L... Lord, no... don't..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his vision go black, and his entire body fell straight backward like a broken puppet, instantly losing all consciousness.

Just as Lanbox fell, the tightly closed door suddenly slowly opened a crack.

Through this narrow door crack, one could see more than a dozen figures standing silently outside the door.

Not only were these figures the same in build, but their auras were also identical. Even more eerily, each of them wore a mask identical to the person before them.

Looking further to the side, one could see glaring scarlet blood all over the ground, with bodies lying haphazardly in the pool of blood.

Upon closer inspection, these bodies were all Lanbox's clansmen, and without exception, all of them had lost their breath.

Although Lanbox had lost consciousness, in this last moment, he seemed to still be able to feel everything happening outside.

When he saw those familiar faces lifelessly soaking in the pool of blood at that moment, his eyes suddenly widened to the extreme, filled with disbelief and deep unwillingness.

"So it wasn't that they stopped when I handed over the secret formula, but that they had already finished killing!"

Unfortunately, no matter how much anger and despair he felt in his heart, he could not change the current situation, and in the end, he could only plunge into eternal darkness with endless resentment.
