Chapter 1263: Chapter 1263: Duke Bloodline (Third Update)
Upon hearing this, the members of the Blood Clan immediately showed fierce expressions and rushed towards Ye Haochuan with a howl.
Ye Haochuan swept his cold gaze across, and a fierce killing intent suddenly spread out.
The Blood Clan members suddenly felt a shiver in their hearts. Although they knew Ye Haochuan was bluffing, no one dared to step forward.
Ye Haochuan snorted coldly, as if he suddenly regained his spirits, nimbly got up from the ground, and walked slowly to Duke Abel’s corpse. His leisurely demeanor made it look as if he wasn’t surrounded by enemies.
The Blood Clan members exchanged glances. At this moment, Ye Haochuan certainly didn’t seem like he was at the end of his rope, but rather full of energy, right?
"He’s just pretending to be energetic, don’t be fooled by him." That previous Nascent Soul Cultivator encouraged the others again.
But in the next second, a flash of red sword light swept past, and his head flew off like a football being kicked.
There wasn’t any gory scene because the Blood Clan didn’t have much blood, but this scene was enough to intimidate everyone who was about to make a move.
Ye Haochuan still said nothing, his right hand made a void grasp towards Duke Abel’s body. The crimson blood, mixed with some light blue blood surrounding Duke Abel, quickly condensed into a sphere.
The crimson blood was obviously just absorbed human blood, while the light blue was the Blood Clan’s own blood.
The legacy of the Blood Clan lies within this light blue blood. Earlier, Duke Abel promised to make Ye Haochuan a Marquis, specifically by merging a drop of his blood into Ye Haochuan’s body.
What Ye Haochuan needed now was the part of the blood belonging to Sophia. Only by returning all of this blood to Sophia can he best save her.
But among this red blood, there wasn’t just Sophia’s, there was also some from a previous woman. Now the three types of blood are mixed together, and it’s impossible to completely separate.
"Really, is there no other way?" Ye Haochuan’s expression was complex, showing great struggle.
If he didn’t transfer this blood into Sophia’s body, the chance to save her was less than ten percent. But if he did, there was a very real chance that Sophia would become part of the Blood Clan.
Ye Haochuan didn’t want his woman to become something neither human nor ghost, so he kept searching through Holy Hand’s memories, hoping to find another method.
"She won’t make it!" At that moment, Feng Meiyi suddenly spoke.
Even though she was always cold, seeing Sophia on the brink of death brought a trace of emotion to her eyes.
"Damn it, this is the only way!"
Time was running out, and Sophia faced danger every second. Ye Haochuan gritted his teeth and still transferred the mixed blood into Sophia’s body.
"Ugh~"
As soon as the blood entered Sophia’s body, her face turned ashen, and her body convulsed violently, looking extraordinarily painful.
Ye Haochuan’s brow furrowed deeply, his gaze unwavering from Sophia.
"Not good, the Blood Clan’s aura is devouring her original blood!"
In a panic, Ye Haochuan quickly drew on his limited Spiritual Energy, trying to help Sophia’s own blood resist the Blood Clan’s blood.
"It’s no use, my blood has too little gain on others’ blood, continuing this way is pointless!" Ye Haochuan’s face changed drastically. He himself didn’t even know what he was thinking as he instinctively cut his own wrist.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Seeing the scarlet blood instantly gush out, Langfan and others’ faces changed.
They could tell Ye Haochuan was probably a bit lost at that moment.
This kind of forced transfusion, if the blood type didn’t match, would lead to dire consequences. Ye Haochuan wasn’t saving someone; he was committing murder.
"Get away!" Ye Haochuan pushed everyone aside, stubbornly sending his own blood into Sophia’s body.
Since his Spiritual Energy wasn’t strong enough to enhance others’ blood, he used his own blood. Even if it exhausted all his strength, he would save Sophia.
Every one of his women, he couldn’t let them down!
He never thought that his near-crazed decision would actually bring Sophia a glimmer of hope.
But it wasn’t the Spiritual Energy amplification that turned the situation around, it was the Hidden Divine Physique he had never valued much.
The body that enabled his cultivation speed and strength to far exceed other cultivators of the same stage couldn’t be that simple.
As his blood entered Sophia’s body, the Blood Clan’s blood lost all vitality, like it had been hit by a Binding Curse, not moving at all.
Ye Haochuan’s blood, like a ruler, dominantly engulfed the Blood Clan’s blood, then, under Ye Haochuan’s conscious control, fused with the other blood.
No blood conflict occurred, and Sophia’s breath quickly stabilized.
A smile finally appeared at the corners of Ye Haochuan’s lips, his massive blood loss leaving him increasingly weak. At that moment, once the nerve that had been taut relaxed, he could no longer hold on and collapsed beside Sophia.
"How can this be? Could their blood types have coincidently matched? It can’t be that random, right?" Langfan exclaimed in surprise as he saw Sophia’s complexion quickly turn rosy.
Feng Meiyi next to him furrowed her brows slightly and said, "It should be because of the Blood Clan’s blood!"
"Blood Clan’s blood?" Langfan and the others were puzzled.
"The Blood Clan feeds on blood, yet doesn’t exhibit abnormal reactions because their blood possesses strong inclusiveness. Ye Haochuan was just a fortuitous mishap this time. If it weren’t for the Blood Clan’s blood, that foreign woman would have long been dead!"
Feng Meiyi’s gaze, for the first time, became so complicated.
She had always thought Ye Haochuan was just full of sweet talk, a playboy falling in love with one after another, completely irresponsible.
Even when Ye Haochuan promised Tie Girl that he would take responsibility for each of his women, she despised him for it.
But now, she clearly saw it all. He didn’t just say it, he did it!
Ye Haochuan fell, and the surrounding Blood Clan members finally got a moment’s respite from the overwhelming killing intent. Among these seven people, only Ye Haochuan was the one they feared the most.
Several Nascent Soul Early Stage Blood Cultivators exchanged glances, seemingly encouraging each other. They had always been intimidated by Ye Haochuan’s power, not daring to act. Now that Ye Haochuan fell, they saw a new opportunity.
But just as this thought arose, they suddenly felt a jolt in their hearts for no apparent reason.
"Is this... the power of the Duke’s bloodline?" Amidst all the Blood Clan’s astonishment, Sophia suddenly opened her eyes.
At this moment, all the Blood Clan members’ knees instantly weakened, causing them to kneel on the ground, unable to move an inch.
