Blood Treasure Chest

A'lan's fury had extremely serious consequences.

One could imagine how miserable Mars's fate would be.

The sharp axe was raised high, changing from a Sweep to a downward chop.

Smashing Strike!

Boom!

The sharp axe struck the ground with a Heavy Strike, generating a huge shockwave.

The location where Mars stood sank ten meters from the impact.

After the dust settled, the ground was covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

Flesh, like jelly, was scattered within the cracks.

The flesh quickly squirmed and merged back together.

Mars looked at A'lan with a deathly pale face.

This time, he didn't dare utter a single threat.

He turned his head and ran immediately.

“Did I allow you to leave?” Lin Yuan's voice came from behind A'lan.

Before the words finished,

Mars felt his body freeze completely.

It was Lin Yuan who had unleashed Soul Capture.

A'lan was capable of Charging into battle, but if an enemy was determined to run,

she lacked skills to restrain them.

Mars roared and activated a control-removal skill.

“Boiling Blood!”

A large amount of blood sprayed from his body,

relying on the self-harm effect to dispel the control.

However, his action was destined to be futile.

Soul Capture is a powerful control skill that acts directly on the soul.

Boiling Blood can only remove controls like stun or immobilization; it is ineffective against Soul Capture.

Seeing that he couldn't break free from Lin Yuan's control,

Mars's expression changed drastically.

He shouted toward Lin Yuan,

“My mother is the Blood Queen Lanathael.”

“If you kill me, you will be branded with the Blood Mark, and even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you won't escape the fate of being killed.”

Blood Queen Lanathael was an established Fourth Tier powerhouse,

famous even among the Blood Race.

Normally, when encountering someone he couldn't defeat,

Mars would bring up Lanathael to scare off powerful enemies,

because no one wanted to be targeted by a crazy woman forever.

But the trick that usually worked every time had failed today.

“You're threatening me.” A sneer appeared on Lin Yuan's lips.

“Apologies, but I'm the type who responds well to kindness but not to coercion.”

If you cut down a weed but don't pull out the roots, it will grow back with the spring breeze.

This guy was clearly the same type of vengeful person as himself.

To deal with such a person, he had to kill him immediately, giving him absolutely no chance.

If he let this guy go,

he would go back and tattle to his mother,

and then if the opponent had some strange ability to track him,

wouldn't that be setting a trap for himself?

All unstable factors must be nipped in the bud.

Killing Mars immediately was the optimal choice.

A'lan had followed Lin Yuan for a long time and naturally knew what he was thinking.

She swung her sharp axe continuously,

immediately chopping Mars into dozens of pieces.

Mars's vitality was extremely tenacious, or rather, the Blood Race's Talent was very strong.

After being killed seven or eight times consecutively, Lin Yuan finally received the kill notification:

[Killed one contestant (Mars), Points +1].

The moment Mars died, an extremely dense bloody light appeared on the spot.

The bloody light seemed to have eyes, instantly sinking into Lin Yuan's body.

At the same time, a crimson treasure chest appeared out of thin air.

[You have received Blood Curse]

[You have obtained Blood Treasure Chest *1]

Lin Yuan raised his left arm, where there was a blood-colored lotus flower.

This was the Blood Curse Mars had mentioned.

[Blood Curse] (Bloodline Mark)

Description: Blood Queen Lanathael will sense your existence. If you appear within 100 kilometers of Blood Queen Lanathael, she will instantly teleport to your side.

(Note: Blood Queen Lanathael's level is 85.)

[Blood Treasure Chest] (One-time Consumable)

Description: The treasure chest randomly yields three items held by Mars, including but not limited to Talent, skills, and Equipment.

“Only Level 85.” Lin Yuan chuckled.

“That's it?”

“Calling herself the Blood Queen, I thought she was something amazing.”

Lin Yuan had originally wanted to ask A'lan if there was a way to remove the curse,

but now he saw no need.

“I'll just wait for you to come knocking.

First, I kill the brat, then I kill the mother,

and then the grandfather, great-grandfather, and ancestral grandfather can all line up to be sent off.

A family should always be neat and tidy.”

The moment Mars died,

on the Blood Source Star, within the Ancestral Land of the Blood Race, a furious voice rang out.

“Who killed my child!”

Blood Queen Lanathael awoke from her slumber.

Her crimson gaze looked toward the distant north,

the direction where her son had perished, hundreds of millions of miles away from the Blood Race's Ancestral Land.

With her son killed, Lanathael was nearly driven mad.

Red energy waves appeared around her body.

In the next second, she was about to cast the Blood Shield Technique for long-distance teleportation.

“Lana, stop.” A handsome youth holding a Blood Crystal and wearing a black robe appeared before Lanathael.

Seeing the newcomer, Lanathael's furious emotions subsided considerably.

“Grand Duke Lord Wendy!”

Lord Wendy was one of the three Grand Dukes of the Blood Race, his strength unfathomable.

Although Lanathael was called the Blood Queen,

her actual status was only equivalent to an Earl.

Above an Earl was a Marquis, and above a Marquis was a Duke.

When the Blood Ancestor had not yet awakened, Dukes held supreme status within the Blood Race.

The reason Lanathael was so respectful toward Lord Wendy was not only because Lord Wendy was a Duke,

but also because they were related as grandfather and granddaughter.

To be precise, Lord Wendy was Lanathael's grandfather.

“Grand Duke Lord Wendy, Mars is dead,” Lanathael said with a hint of sorrow in her voice.

“I can feel that the Blood Curse on him was triggered.”

“The culprit is currently on Demon Slaying Island.”

“Do you intend to seek revenge?” Lord Wendy asked emotionlessly.

“He was merely a Baron who died.”

Mars's death was not something Lord Wendy cared about,

because over countless years, he had witnessed too many geniuses within the Blood Race rise and then fall.

Few were ultimately able to raise their strength to the level of an Earl or even a Marquis.

“I want to go!” Lanathael insisted stubbornly.

Lord Wendy shook his head, slightly disappointed by the answer.

“Demon Slaying Island is hundreds of millions of miles away from the Blood Source Star. Even if your level exceeds 85, you cannot reach Demon Slaying Island quickly.”

“Furthermore, that area falls under the influence of the Angel Domain. If you appear there, given the Angel Domain's style of operation, they will definitely send out Holy War Angels to attack you.”

“Can you escape unscathed while being hunted by Holy War Angels?”

Lord Wendy asked this question in a very calm tone.

Lanathael shook her head.

“I cannot.”

Holy War Angels are the combat ceiling of the Angel Domain,

their strength second only to a Blood Race Duke.

One-on-one, Lanathael might be able to stall for a while relying on her powerful recovery ability,

but if the opponents send out two Holy War Angels,

Lanathael probably wouldn't last even a minute.

“Then we just let the guy who killed Mars go!” Lanathael was unwilling.

Lord Wendy raised the Blood Crystal in his hand.

It contained immense Blood Qi Energy;

if it exploded, perhaps one-third of the Blue Star would be shattered.

“Don't rush. The Blood Ancestor is about to revive.”

“Once the Blood Ancestor revives, our Blood Race will once again rule over the entire starry sky.”
