Chapter 813: A Life for A Life
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The white youth felt his heart tremble. The magical treasures of the eastern world were existences on the same level as sacred weapons in the western world. Sacred weapons were scarce in Europe. Even he did not have the qualifications to possess such a treasure. His clan only had a few sacred weapons at most, and they were always kept in a sacred place. Only when serious incidents occurred would they bring out the sacred weapons.
Now the vampire discovered that a mere Huatian Palace Executor in Hua Xia Country wielded such a treasure in her hands.
The distance between the two of them was swiftly drawing closer. No matter how fast the vampire flew, he could not escape Jin Ying’s pursuit. In a short while, the distance between the two of them was less than a hundred meters.
“D*mn it!” the vampire cursed. The bamboo copter magical treasure was unbelievable. It had actually doubled the speed of this later stage Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner. The higher their cultivation, the harder it was to increase their speed.
Bang!
A mass of crimson light exploded from the youth’s body. Countless blood shadows flew around frenziedly with him as the center. They were densely packed and were fast. If one looked closely, one would discover that these blood shadows were formed from vampire bat illusions.
The Blood Kindred had a miraculous secret escaping technique called the Blood Shadow Body Double. They could instantly split themselves into countless pieces and escape in all directions. But among all of the pieces, there was only one true body. It was very difficult to pinpoint where it was in a short amount of time.
However, unleashing such a secret technique was detrimental to their own bodies. They would greatly undermine their own constitution every time they used it. It would take a few months or even a few years for them to recover.
“Blood Shadow Body Double.” Jin Ying raised her eyebrows. She had some understanding of the Blood Kindred. Previously, when she was carrying out missions overseas, she had frequent dealings with this race. She naturally knew about the Blood Kindred’s renowned Blood Shadow Body Double. When this secret technique was combined with the power of the Blood Kindred’s bloodline, every blood shadow’s aura would almost be the same, hence it was very difficult to differentiate between them all.
Even for her, it was impossible to locate the true body of the youth in a short amount of time.
Jin Ying laughed coldly. “Today is not your lucky day.” With a flick of her sleeve, a golden chain quietly emerged. It was like an agile snake that had a sentient life force
Before setting off on this mission, she had been given this magical treasure by the Huatian Palace. This type of magical treasure was usually only designated to be used in special missions. Under normal circumstances, she would not even get the chance to touch it. However, since the Martial Arts Circle Convention’s opening was approaching and there was unrest everywhere, the Huatian Palace had ordered the security of the entire country to be tightened, placing great importance on the turmoil that occurred recently.
The bamboo copter and the golden chains were profound level weapons only used by the Huatian Palace during special times. Although they were just low-grade weapons, their might was rather astonishing.
For the vampire to commit crimes in Hua Xia during this time was almost equivalent to him lining himself against the muzzle of a gun.
The golden chains flashed with golden light and became thinner chains that were as thick as a thumb. Each chain kept extending forward, instantly traversing hundreds of meters.
The blood shadows that filled the skies were all entangled by the golden chains that shot out, almost none of them slipping through. There were as many golden chains as there were Blood Shadow Body Doubles. All of them were sealed securely.
“Destroy them.” Jin Ying flicked her index finger and hit the source of the golden chains. Immediately, countless chains furiously shook. An astonishing power rippled through the chain. The blood shadows that were trapped were destroyed one by one, disappearing like bubble froth from the world.
Only one blood shadow was not instantly destroyed. Instead, it staggered and furiously coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.
“Despicable!”
The silhouette of the vampire was exposed from within the crimson light. A few golden chains were wrapped around his body. He struggled for a bit but could not free himself. He finally panicked a little, his eyes revealing a look of fear.
After the other golden chains shattered the blood shadows, they immediately discovered their target and moved over to constrain the vampire even more securely. They wrapped themselves around the vampire as if he were a rice dumpling, binding him tightly.
The vampire struggled frenziedly, but once he was tied up by the golden chains, he could not struggle free no matter how hard he tried.
“Don’t waste your energy.” Jin Ying tugged at the golden chains expressionlessly. The vampire was instantly pulled up right in front of her. Jin Ying was not polite at all. She slapped the white vampire around the face, causing half his face to swell and blood to flow from his mouth.
“You dare to strike me?” The vampire glared furiously at Jin Ying. His eyes were fierce. If he were not tied up by the golden chains, he most likely would have pounced straight at Jin Ying and torn her straight to pieces.
Jin Ying slapped the vampire on his face once again. This time, she slapped the other cheek. Now both his cheeks were both swollen, and one of his teeth had flown out.
“Even if I have committed a crime, you can’t torture me. Besides, you have no concrete evidence. What you are doing now will affect the diplomatic relations between our two countries. You better stop right now.”
Seeing that Jin Ying had raised her arm and was ready to slap him again, the vampire learned his lesson and realized that he could not retaliate with violence. Otherwise, he would be beaten up. He was a member of the Demon Gods Alliance. No matter how powerful the Huatian Palace was in Hua Xia Country, it could not undermine the Demon Gods Alliance which protected him. Even if he had committed a serious crime, they would need concrete evidence before they could punish him.
“I know nothing about diplomatic relations. I only know that what you did in Hua Xia is enough for you to die many times over. You are about to lose your life, yet you are still in the mood to talk.”
Jin Ying slapped him again. This scum talked about evidence and diplomatic relations between their two countries. Who did he think he was? Did he think that he was worthy enough for the Demon Gods Alliance to declare war on the Huatian Palace?
The vampire’s head was spinning from all the slaps. For a moment, he could not even speak. Only now did he realize that the logic that he used in the western world could not be applied in Hua Xia at all.
“Little girl, you are indeed a member of the Huatian Palace. You are equally barbaric and violent.” A sinister voice sounded in the dark suddenly. It was followed by the appearance of a powerful aura that surrounded the area. The aura enveloped an area within a radius of a hundred meters, causing the trees to bend.
“Who’s there?” Jin Ying was shocked. The aura was terrifying. It was no weaker than that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
A dark shadow appeared in the sky. The figure was not tall, and the person was the height of a child, yet the aura that he emanated was rather frightening.
A crimson light radiated from the figure’s body. The stench of blood filled the area. The bizarre thing was that the smell of blood did not cause Jin Ying to feel disgusted; instead, it had a sweet aroma. If Jin Ying was offered a glass of blood now, she would most likely be tempted to try it even knowing that it was blood.
“A Blood Kindred!” Jin Ying identified the figure’s identity in an instant. Not only was he a Blood Kindred, but he was a rather powerful one.
“Innell, you have finally come. I almost died by being tortured by this b*tch.”
When the white youth, who was tied up in golden chains, saw the figure, he breathed a sigh of relief as though he had met his savior. Before this, he had realized that he was no match for this woman, so he had signaled his companions for help while he was fleeing.
At that time, he had not imagined that he would be caught by this woman so quickly. Thankfully, his companion had arrived in the nick of time. Otherwise, he would be in danger.
“The members of the Huatian Palace are indeed annoying. We bear no ill intention in coming to Hua Xia. We came to settle an affair in the clan. Why are you making things difficult for us?”
The vampire called Innell stared at Jin Ying coldly. His gaze was full of hostility. Naturally, he knew that Hua Xia Country was under the jurisdiction of the Huatian Palace. However, he was puzzled as to why the Huatian Palace would target them when they had done nothing wrong. The Huatian Palace had never allowed foreign powers to enter Hua Xia easily. Even when they had some important matters and had to come to Hua Xia, they had to report their whereabouts and their actions in the country would be monitored.
The Huatian Palace guarded Hua Xia Country so tightly. However, when the members of the Huatian Palace were overseas, they behaved differently. Everyone knew that the members of the Huatian Palace were active in Europe and the surrounding regions. They did not keep a low profile, and they disregarded the local rules.
“Humph! No ill-intention? Raping and killing women in Hua Xia, causing their families to be in agony; were these acts without ill intention? People with superpowers shall not harm the commoners. This rule is clearly written in the document of the International Superpowers Association. Not only are your actions considered a crime in Hua Xia, they are also a crime at the international level too.”
With one hand, Jin Ying held onto the golden chains that she had used to tie up the vampire. At the same time, she secretly signaled for help from the Huatian Palace. She was purposely talking a lot to stall for time. This vampire was rather powerful. She was no match for him.
Upon hearing her words, the short vampire’s gaze shifted slowly towards the other vampire. Clearly, the short vampire was unaware of the incidents of rape and murder.
“Innell, you know that I have some special hobbies. I really couldn’t hold it in over these last few days, so... so...” the young vampire said with an awkward laugh.
He was well aware that there was no use in trying to deny it now. The others were not blind; furthermore, with the Huatian Palace’s ability, it was not a difficult task for them to come up with the evidence of him raping and killing women.
“Carlos, before we came to Hua Xia, Lord Charlie forbade any of us to act on our own in Hua Xia Country. Did you turn a deaf ear to Lord Charlie’s command?”
Innell’s facial expression was ugly. This time, they had come to Hua Xia for an important mission. Their leaders allowed no mistakes from them at all. Besides, they were supposed to avoid being noticed by the Huatian Palace. To his surprise, Carlos had let the team down.
“This is just an accident. It will not happen again next time.”
Carlos shook his head continuously. He had merely raped and killed a few peasants. He had not expected that his actions would cause him to be targeted by the Huatian Palace. Could it be that the Huatian Palace was very free and would interfere in even trivial matters like this?
Innell glared at Carlos, exasperated at Carlos’ failure. However, since Carlos’ identity was unique, it was inappropriate for Innell to comment further. Innell would hand over this case to Lord Charlie once they were done here. His mission now was to save Carlos from the hands of Jin Ying.
Innell turned around and said to Jin Ying, “I know you are trying to buy some time. We, the Blood Kindred, have no intention of stirring up trouble with your Huatian Palace. I apologize for the losses that we caused you this time, and we are willing to compensate you for it. I hope you can let Carlos go.”
Jin Ying’s facial expression was serious. Naturally, she was reluctant to let this rapist go. However, the vampire called Innell was very powerful, and she knew she was not a match for him at all. She was uncertain of whether she could last until the reinforcements from the Huatian Palace came. Moreover, the opponent had figured out her intentions. If she persisted, she might be in danger.
“A tooth for a tooth, a life for a life. How do you compensate for the lives that have been lost? I think you should leave your lives here as compensation.” To everyone’s surprise, a calm voice suddenly sounded in the dark sky.
