Blood Shura promoted to LV17

Ye Chen looked at the man before him, seeing an aura of resilience about him.

Ye Chen waved his hand, signaling everyone else to leave.

Wu Hao gave two dry laughs and backed out.

Yu Nian cast a meaningful glance before leaving as well.

Once the door was closed, Ye Chen pulled up a chair and sat in front of Zhang Yuzhen.

Zhang Yuzhen stared straight at Ye Chen, saying nothing.

Ye Chen looked at the dense chains covering Zhang Yuzhen's body and summoned the Blood Asura.

As the Blood Asura's Rank increased, its mental connection with Ye Chen grew ever stronger.

Without needing Ye Chen to speak, the Blood Asura walked over to Zhang Yuzhen with the Blood God Scythe and severed all the chains on his body.

With his body now free, Zhang Yuzhen stretched a bit and finally spoke his first words: "Thank you."

Ye Chen looked at the disheveled yet still dignified Zhang Yuzhen with his deep brown eyes and laughed: "I thought you were a mute."

Zhang Yuzhen gave two dry laughs and said: "Are you from the Azure Alliance?"

Ye Chen shook his head.

Zhang Yuzhen's eyes flickered slightly before returning to their normal state, and he asked: "If you are not from the Azure Alliance, then who are you? And what about that dark shadow?"

"I am the leader of the Star Alliance. That dark shadow has already been killed by me," Ye Chen said calmly, looking at Zhang Yuzhen.

Zhang Yuzhen was stunned, his pupils trembling. His voice shook as he said: "You said you killed the dark shadow?"

Ye Chen nodded and gave a hum of affirmation.

Zhang Yuzhen suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Ye Chen, and said: "Thank you."

Ye Chen understood his attitude; after all, Zhang Yuzhen and the dark shadow shared a deep, mortal hatred.

Zhang Yuzhen's eyes turned bloodshot, his fists clenched so tightly they creaked, and he gritted his teeth: "That bastard, the dark shadow, killed my wife and child. Not being able to kill him with my own hands is my greatest regret. However, now that you have killed that dark shadow, Your Excellency is my benefactor! As long as my benefactor gives the order, I, Zhang Yuzhen, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Ye Chen stood up and laughed: "In that case, I will make a request!"

Ye Chen wore a smile, though it didn't reach his eyes as he looked at Zhang Yuzhen.

Zhang Yuzhen did not hesitate at all, cupped his hands, and said: "Please speak, Benefactor. I, Zhang Yuzhen, will not say no!"

Ye Chen said: "Join my Star Alliance and help us wipe out the Azure Alliance!"

"Wipe out the Azure Alliance?"

"Correct!"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Tomorrow, we will launch a full-scale attack on the Azure Alliance, and I hope you can act with us!"

Zhang Yuzhen was a real man, and as a Level 14, he was a significant combat force.

Moreover, facing the Azure Alliance, with whom he had a deep blood feud, was equivalent to adding a buff.

Upon confirmation, Zhang Yuzhen did not hesitate: "Good. I, Zhang Yuzhen, join the Star Alliance. From now on, I will follow your lead, Benefactor. The Azure Alliance and I have an irreconcilable feud. I, Zhang Yuzhen, guarantee here that I will be at the forefront tomorrow!"

Ye Chen patted Zhang Yuzhen on the shoulder and said: "Well said. Go rest for now, take care of your injuries, and I will call you tomorrow!"

A moment later, the two of them walked out.

Yu Nian and the others came up to meet them.

Ye Chen laughed: "From now on, Zhang Yuzhen is a member of the Star Alliance."

Zhang Yuzhen was much older than Ye Chen. Ye Chen had originally wanted to call him Brother Zhang, but Zhang Yuzhen refused adamantly. With no other choice, he had to address him by his full name.

Zhu Qiang looked pleased. He stepped forward, shook Zhang Yuzhen's hand, and chuckled: "Great, great, great! Welcome, Brother Zhang. From now on, we are one family!"

Zhang Yuzhen was a man who attached great importance to Jianghu etiquette, so he immediately bowed and greeted them.

Although Zhang Yuzhen was older and higher in Rank than Yu Nian and the others, he knew that Zhu Qiang and the others were the founding members of the Star Alliance, so Zhang Yuzhen referred to himself as a newcomer.

Zhu Qiang looked at Zhang Yuzhen with some excitement. In fact, Zhu Qiang had been a delinquent in the past and loved watching Young and Dangerous movies. If the law had allowed it, he would have joined a gang.

The Zhang Yuzhen before him was quite famous in the underworld, known for being extremely loyal, and was someone Zhu Qiang had admired greatly in the past.

Now that he had become teammates with someone he once admired, Zhu Qiang felt somewhat excited.

Wu Hao, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up: "Lord Ye Chen, I have finished everything. May I leave now?"

After saying this, Wu Hao looked at Ye Chen with a worried expression, his eyes darting around.

Ye Chen nodded and said: "You may go."

"Thank you, Lord Ye Chen! Thank you, Lord Ye Chen! I wish you all smooth sailing, prosperity, good fortune, and everything going your way!" Wu Hao rattled off a string of blessings before immediately turning to leave.

Zhu Qiang curled his lip and said: "The term 'scoundrel' is perfectly embodied by him."

About a minute later, a heart-wrenching scream came from the other end of the corridor.

Judging by the voice, it was Wu Hao!

Zhang Yuzhen frowned, looking somewhat shocked.

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Keeping a person like that around would only be a disaster."

With that, Ye Chen leaped out of the hot spring pool.

Zhang Yuzhen's gaze toward Ye Chen held a bit more respect.

He sighed inwardly: "This leader is no simple man. It seems I have truly followed the right person this time."

Zhu Qiang and the others also jumped out of the hot spring pool one after another.

When they reached the end of the corridor, Wu Hao's body had already been disposed of, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

The King Kong Ape was using a nearby curtain to wipe the blood off the Ding Tian Divine Staff.

The fifty-plus girls had already been arranged by Lin Nuoyi to go to Shuangba Village.

When they stepped back outside, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky had completely darkened.

Zhang Yuzhen wanted to go to his former home to retrieve photos of his wife and child.

Ye Chen readily agreed, telling him to meet at a square near the Azure Alliance headquarters tomorrow.

Zhu Qiang took out all the EXP Capsules and said: "Brother Chen, there are 44,000 EXP in total. Is that enough?"

"It's enough!"

Ye Chen took the EXP Capsules from Zhu Qiang and used them on the Blood Asura.

【Blood Asura】 Rank: LV17 Stage: Growth Phase Skill: Critical Strike Attribute: Dark Grade: Saint Grade (Grade 7) Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened) Divine Artifact: None Skill: Shadow Assault (Attack Bonus 10/100) Advanced Skill: Ten Shadow Slash (The pet splits into ten afterimages that are identical to the original body, lasting for 60s. During this time, they can be controlled by the pet and the Pet Master, and they possess the same equipment as the original, but only deal 40% of the original body's attack damage) Combat Power: 15800 HP: 196000 EXP: 3500/55000

Seeing that the Blood Asura had reached LV17, Ye Chen felt much more relaxed.

In this way, there was only a one-level gap with the Azure Emperor, so it was not a significant disadvantage.
