150: Return of the King

Almost the next moment.

The calm Karen's face suddenly became extremely serious.

He dashed to protect Brujah. Men, his posture as if facing a formidable enemy!

Brujah. Men, however, furrowed his brow.

He pondered as he looked at Luo Lei, and after a long time, his somewhat understanding voice emerged from the misty rain: "Although it's incredible that you're still alive... if I'm not mistaken... your injuries from that battle back then haven't healed, have they?"

These brief words immediately made Lumu Chen, who was beside him, recall that day many years ago.

That day.

After Luo Lei single-handedly fought and defeated three Kings, the human high-level officials learned the true nature of this world and understood the real reason for the Great Cataclysm's emergence!

And precisely because various truths were unveiled, the human high-level officials profoundly understood that only by breaking the cage could all humanity escape the apocalypse and give rise to a flourishing civilization like that of the old world!

Otherwise, if the cage wasn't shattered, the apocalypse... would forever remain that hopeless apocalypse!

With the unanimous approval of most Alliance Base City high-level officials, that day, Luo Lei, bearing the hope of all humanity, ascended directly to the Ninth Heaven...

And it was on that same day that people witnessed the only defeat in the life of that young and vigorous man.

In the sky, like a fiery cloud.

As the crimson Throne exploded and the blood-colored Asura Sword shattered, that man, under the watchful eyes of the leaders of various Base Cities, fell like a light feather, carrying his shattered body, plummeting straight down to the desolate earth...

After that, no one saw him again.

In everyone's perception, he... should have died.

Now, seeing Luo Lei, this King, again, Lumu Chen's inner excitement was indescribable.

However, upon hearing Brujah. Men's words, his face also turned pale.

Yes.

With injuries like those back then, it was already an incredible feat of willpower not to have died on the spot.

The lingering injuries would surely worsen over time!

"It seems that is truly the case..."

As one of the three Protectors of the Bloodline, Karen's serious expression gradually relaxed after his dark red pupils focused intently on Luo Lei.

He could tell that this fellow, who had once struck fear into their Bloodline, was in a completely different state than before!

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a big surprise for us," Brujah. Men bared his fangs, which were so crimson under the dim rain curtain: "I wonder what the flesh and blood of the former number one human expert tastes like!"

"You want to taste it?" Luo Lei calmly looked at the two vampires.

"Which of our three races doesn't want to devour your flesh and blood alive?" Brujah. Men took a deep, intoxicated breath of the cold, damp air: "Karen, attack!"

At his command.

Karen's fleshy wings instantly spread out behind him, a hellish blood-red filling the entire street!

As one of the three Protectors of the Bloodline, second only to the Blood King, the Peak level six Karen already possessed his own Domain.

This corresponded to a Purple Crystal level expert among humans!

"Godslayer King, let me see how much of your former strength you still possess."

A sinister smile appeared on his bloodless face.

In a sweeping, fishy wind, Karen's ten fingers turned blood-red, his beast-like claws pointing directly at Luo Lei!

At Karen's Realm, their bodies were their most powerful weapons!

"If you want to touch him, you'll have to get past me first!"

"Boom!" In a dazzling blue and white light, an iron hammer appeared in Lumu Chen's hand.

Just a moment later, the hammer in the old man's hand collided with Karen's claws with a resounding crash!

"Thump~"

The cold raindrops in the blood-colored Domain instantly shattered into dust!

The terrifying shockwave instantly caused the walls on both sides to collapse!

Outside the alley, many passersby could hear a powerful, echoing bang, as if a cannonball had exploded in the city!

Everyone's gaze suddenly turned to the area where the loud noise had occurred.

In the shattered alley.

Looking at Lumu Chen, who was gritting his teeth and resisting, Karen sneered: "Overestimating yourself!"

As his words fell, with power to spare, the wings on his back vibrated violently!

The power, which had suddenly increased by several levels, bore down, causing Lumu Chen's face to flush red as he struggled to resist with the hammer, blood vessels bursting in his eyes.

Two breaths later.

Under the extremely distorted air... "Pfft!"

A mouthful of fresh blood drained all the old man's strength!

And then, he flew backward like a cannonball, crashing out...

But as Lumu Chen was flying backward.

A black-robed figure extended a palm and steadied him.

Brujah. Men and Karen's gazes instantly fell upon this man.

"Since you're so eager to see how much of my former strength I still possess, then... as you wish."

Taking a deep breath, Luo Lei slowly closed his eyes: "System, use the Full Recovery Experience Card."

For Luo Lei, this Full Recovery Experience Card from the System was undoubtedly precious.

But now, it had to be used.

Hearing Luo Lei's words, Karen secretly frowned, then sensed his physical condition again, disdainfully saying: "Playing tricks."

With that, he charged directly at Luo Lei!

However.

The next breath, Karen, who was still charging towards Luo Lei, for some unknown reason, suddenly felt a pang of fear!

"Run! He's not injured!"

Brujah. Men, from behind, relying on his more noble Bloodline and clearer sense of crisis, instantly realized in that split second that the man in front of him was like a dying tiger that had suddenly regained its vitality!

A heart-stopping fear from the depths of his Soul made this direct descendant of the Blood King roar at Karen!

"Wh-what...?"

Karen turned his head to look behind him.

And at that very moment, a pressure like ten thousand colossal mountains descended from the sky!

If people in the North City were standing on the streets or looking out their windows now.

They would clearly see an extremely dense blood-red light, carrying a terrifying aura of slaughter, dyeing half the sky!

"Boom!"

In an instant.

Karen, with his wings, plummeted directly from mid-air onto the concrete ground with a resounding crash!

"Bang~" Brujah. Men, behind him, also couldn't escape the powerful pressure and was forced to his knees.

Why did Luo Lei dare to bear the title of Godslayer?

Because in his prime, he truly possessed the ability to fight against the Gods in the Ninth Heaven!

Such an existence, when he revealed his full power at this moment, the heavens and earth changed color for him!

"How... is this possible?!"

Karen, sprawled on the ground, desperately propping himself up, had nothing but deep disbelief in his blood-red pupils.

The heavily injured Lumu Chen, filled with profound shock, looked at the man who slowly opened his eyes.

A crimson Throne tore open the space behind him, slowly appearing.

A blood-stained Asura Sword stood upright before him...

The King has returned!

"Impossible! Impossible! Your opponent back then was 'Lord,' it's already an immense stroke of luck that you survived, how could you have possibly recovered to your Peak strength?!"

"And..."

Brujah. Men looked at the Throne behind Luo Lei, his pupils shrinking to pinprick size.
