Viscount Ao Keli’s face was filled with Fear as he shouted desperately, "Lord Count, I am willing to serve you!!"

The vicious glint in Aiyu’s eyes receded slightly as he regained his suave demeanor and said coolly, "Good!! Take everyone from Blood Wood City and head to the Profound Jade Mountain Range!!"

Shu Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. ’The Profound Jade Mountain Range... The very same mountains where the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass grows. So the great hunt is really happening there.’

The Profound Jade Mountain Range was the region in the Void Demon Hunting Ground with the most concentrated Spiritual Power and the greatest abundance of Treasures of Heaven and Earth. Of the more than one hundred types of Earth-level Treasures of Heaven and Earth within the hunting ground, over ninety were distributed throughout this mountain range.

The only Celestial-level Treasure of Heaven and Earth in the Void Demon Hunting Ground, the Flame Phoenix Tree, was located on the summit of the Profound Jade Mountain Range.

No matter how well they concealed themselves, the prodigies from other worlds would eventually converge on the Profound Jade Mountain Range to vie for its various Treasures of Heaven and Earth.

According to Shu Feng’s original plan, he had intended to subjugate the ten major cities of the Blood Country one by one, gather all his forces, and then go contend for the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass and the fruit of the Flame Phoenix Tree.

Aiyu’s appearance had disrupted Shu Feng’s plan.

Facing Aiyu’s command, Viscount Ao Keli said respectfully, "Yes, Lord Count!"

One day later, the entirety of Blood Wood City was mobilized. Five thousand Blood Demon Clan powerhouses, along with an auxiliary army of ten thousand from various vassal races, advanced in a mighty host toward the Profound Jade Mountain Range.

On a vast plain, a Dragon-man Demon army suddenly appeared beside the Blood Demon Clan forces. They were all tall figures clad in Protective Armor, each with a single dragon horn on their head, a Giant Sword on their back, and a Large Shield in hand.

The scouts from both armies quickly returned at almost the same time.

Baron Ola approached Count Aiyu and asked cautiously, "Lord Count, we’ve spotted the Dragon-man Demon army ahead. What are your orders?"

"Hahaha, of course we’ll slaughter them all!! The blood of the Dragon-man Demons contains a trace of scorching heat and the taste of Dragon Blood—it’s absolutely wonderful! Relay my orders! Attack immediately!!"

A crazed light flashed in Count Aiyu’s eyes as he roared.

The Void Demon Nobles who came to hunt in the Void Demon Hunting Ground were all battle-crazed and murderous by nature. As a powerhouse in the Spirit Venerable Realm, Count Aiyu was even more brazen.

The Void Demons themselves were rife with internal conflict. Many Void Demon Races harbored blood feuds that had lasted for generations. The conflicts between their own races were far more intense than their enmity with the Human Race, and their infighting was consequently far more cruel and brutal.

The reason world after world had fallen to the Void Demon Clan was not that the clan was particularly united, but that its top-level powerhouses were simply too terrifying. The number of their Divine Spirit Level experts was enough to drive one to Despair.

"Yes, Lord Count!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Under Count Aiyu’s command, the five thousand Blood Demon Clan powerhouses and the ten-thousand-strong auxiliary army immediately charged toward the six-thousand-strong Dragon-man Demon army.

"These vile, disgusting Vampires actually dare to make a move on us! It seems they have a Hunter among them, too. Lord Oss, I’ll leave the enemy’s Hunter to you."

Within the ranks of the Dragon-man Demon Race army, their Commander-in-Chief, Bashir, spoke. He was a burly and imposing figure, two meters tall, clad in black battle armor with a single dragon horn on his head. He addressed a young man at his side—a handsome man in white armor, who also had a dragon horn and a hint of a sinister aura.

Oss licked his lips, a glint of greed in his eyes. "No problem! I’ve already called dibs on that one’s heart! The hearts of prodigies are always the most delicious."

The Blood Demon Race loved to drink fresh blood, whereas the Dragon-man Demon Race preferred to feast on the hearts of sapient beings.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The moment the five thousand Blood Demon Clan powerhouses were in range, they immediately unleashed a volley of Crossbow Arrows at the Dragon-man Demon army.

The Dragon-man Demon army immediately raised their Large Shields before them and, like a line of humanoid tanks, charged toward the Blood Demon Clan powerhouses.

The ten-thousand-strong auxiliary army, comprised of various races already turned into Vampires, wielded all manner of weapons and clashed with the Dragon-man Demons.

The Sub-human Race army, vassals of Blood Wood City, broke the instant they clashed with the fully-armed Dragon-man Demons. The Dragon-man Demons cut them into pieces with ease, mowing them down as if cutting grass and scattering their remains in every direction.

Only after Viscount Ao Keli and the other Blood Demon Nobles from Blood Wood City led their Personal Guards into the fray was the rout stemmed.

With a casual wave of his hand, Viscount Ao Keli sent out streaks of blood that formed into Blood Blades, slashing at the surrounding Dragon-man Demons. One by one, their bodies were torn to shreds and scattered across the ground.

Each of those elite Dragon-man Demons possessed the combat power of a Spirit Master Level, but they were still no match for a Grandmaster-Level powerhouse like Viscount Ao Keli.

"Your opponent is me!!"

With a furious roar, the Dragon-man Demon Commander-in-Chief, Bashir, wildly swung a Giant Sword at Viscount Ao Keli.

A grave expression appeared in Viscount Ao Keli’s eyes. He commanded his Blood Flame, shaping it into a Blood Flame Blade that shot toward Bashir.

Bashir swung his sword, and a black, dragon-shaped Sword Aura shattered the Blood Flame Blade in a single strike.

Viscount Ao Keli moved with ghostly speed, constantly shifting to attack Bashir furiously from one bizarre and inconceivable angle after another.

Bashir’s Swordsmanship was all grand, sweeping movements, and his Power was utterly domineering. He shattered the Blood Flame Blades one by one while continuously slashing at Viscount Ao Keli, forcing him into a constant retreat.

"Hahaha! Die!"

Madness flashed in Count Aiyu’s eyes. He transformed into a ray of blood-red light, appeared behind Bashir in an instant, and thrust his claw at Bashir’s head.

"I’ve been waiting for you!!"

A vicious glint flashed in the eyes of Oss, who had been fighting a Blood Demon Clan Baron. He suddenly burst into action, unleashing a terrifying wave of Sword Qi that slashed toward Count Aiyu.

"A Hunter?"

Count Aiyu flipped his right claw, shattering the terrifying Sword Qi. He twisted in mid-air and landed on the ground. Gazing at Bashir, his eyes flashed with greed and killing intent as he licked his lips. "Excellent! A powerful bloodline, immense Power... I shall use the essence of your blood to nourish my own and evolve to become even stronger!"

’This guy is trouble!’

A wary look flashed in Oss’s eyes. His Grandmaster-Level Power of Void Demon erupted, and a layer of black Dragon Scales instantly covered his body as he entered the Dragon Transformation phase.

A ferocious glint flickered in Count Aiyu’s eyes. "Haha! Dragon Transformation! To think you can activate Dragon Transformation... you must be from a near-pureblood line of the Dragon-man Demon Race! Excellent! This place truly is a convergence of prodigies, a confluence of countless exquisite bloods! It was well worth all the trouble and risk I took to enter this Void Demon Hunting Ground."
