Chapter 29: I Only Kill, I Don't Spar

Blood Clan manor, training area.

Su Qing looked at the surrounding vampires with reverent looks, his face showed no joy, only boredom.

At first hearing others' flattery, it was indeed pleasant; after all, I hadn't experienced such a scene before, but hearing it often, I grew tired of it.

It's just like playing a shoot-'em-up.

One or two times still feel mentally pleasurable; three or four times it's just so-so; five or six times feel nothing at all, only feeling that it not only harms the body but also wastes data, tiring the arms—really boring.

More importantly, these vampires only ever say 'big shot awesome' and 'big shot impressive', completely lacking creativity; they can't even flatter properly.

"Besides those two lines, what else can you say?"

Su Qing secretly shook his head and muttered to himself, then reached out to push through the crowd and walked out, not heading back to his room but to the tomb chamber.

Last night he failed to enter the tomb chamber and returned empty-handed; Su Qing now plans to go again, but he's not going to stage some dramatic raid—he's going to probe the background of Selinna's teacher, Lu Dexiu.

This guy left a very deep impression on him last night; he intends to copy the opponent's old background to prepare for later killing Victor.

On the way to the tomb chamber, Su Qing's eyes were full of relief: "Good thing this is the black night series, not the Dracula series, otherwise there'd be nothing to play." At the same time, the worldview of the black night movies flashed in his mind.

Having watched the whole series, Su Qing clearly knows that the vampires and werewolves in the black night series are virus-induced genetic mutations, a kind of mutant creature, whereas the vampires and werewolves full of mythological elements in the Dracula count's worldview are two different concepts.

There are many differences between them.

First, vampires and werewolves do not transform after death; they are not corpses or zombies.

Then, they are not made of steel and bone; smashing them does not turn them into stone, they also bleed (in Black Night 1 Selinna once suffered injury, blood loss, and fainted), they also feel pain, and they have a heartbeat (in Black Night 1 Victor, upon awakening, first restored his heartbeat).

Moreover, when the two clans fight, they show no supernatural powers like flight, fireballs, or lightning without external aid; in ancient times they fought with cold weapons, nowadays with guns and cannons; their mounts anciently were horses, nowadays cars.

Furthermore, in the plot of Black Night 1, Victor has worn a cross multiple times.

This shows that vampires can also believe in Jesus and do not consider themselves abandoned by God.

Taking all of the above into account, one can conclude: werewolves and vampires are merely mutant aberrations.

Therefore, in the black night legend worldview, there is fundamentally no such thing as bloodline pressure preventing lower-bloodline individuals from acting against higher-bloodline ones.

Looking at Black Night 1, Selinna, as a vampire personally turned by Victor, feels no discomfort when fighting; what should be cut is still cut.

"If it were the Dracula series world, I'd probably have found a corner to sleep in by now." Su Qing sighed again; the vampire worldview setting, choosing right means everything is one's own freedom, choosing wrong means signing a body-selling contract, becoming a lifelong slave to high-ranking vampires.

Thinking of these, Su Qing followed last night's route, making his way through.

The guards beside the road, seeing it was him, also did not stop him; obviously they had followed Selinna yesterday and had good eyesight.

"This isn't where you should be." After turning a corner, before Su Qing approached, Lu Dexiu, standing like a door god, furrowed his brow.

"Senior, I am Selinna's friend." Su Qing smiled, "She told me you are her teacher."

"And then?" Lu Dexiu raised his eyebrows and gave a cold smile.

"I previously sparred with Selinna, so..." Su Qing put on an eager-to-learn expression, but actually he was secretly focusing his spirit to examine Lu Dexiu's background.

Also nothing unexpected appeared; staring with both eyes, after two or three seconds, lines of text appeared before Lu Dexiu:

High-level vampire bloodline, martial arts (master), swordsmanship (master), horsemanship (master), firearms (master), tracking (master)…………

Looking at this splendid skill panel, Su Qing's twenty-four karat gold eyes almost got blinded; at this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: awesome!

Knowing that Selinna painstakingly trained for five hundred years, after great hardship she managed to grind out two master-level skills, this guy actually has five—aside from being awesome, he's just awesome.

Can only say, no wonder he's Selinna's teacher.

As the saying goes, teaching the apprentice starves the master.

But putting it here would be somewhat unrealistic.

With Lu Dexiu's ability, even giving Selinna another three hundred years, no, five hundred years might not be enough for her to catch up.

Su Qing's heart surged, his surface calm, he normally said: "I'd like to ask you for some advice, I don't know if you have time."

Before the iron gate.

Standing like a pine, the burly Lu Dexiu crossed his arms, looking at the Eastern person before him, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, he said: "I only kill people, I don't spar!"

"Eh!"

Su Qing didn't expect this guy to speak so improperly; no wonder he was assigned to watch the gate, he really deserves it!

After all, he's also an old hand who's struggled in the societal mire for years; Su Qing, regardless of his inner muttering, kept his expression unchanged and chuckled: "If that's the case, then I won't disturb you."

Seeing him retreat knowing the difficulty, Lu Dexiu at the gate suddenly recalled Kailwen's recent promise, and said: "If you can make me bleed, I'll let you enter the tomb chamber."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing's turning motion paused, he asked somewhat surprised: "You really mean it?"

"Really." Lu Dexiu withdrew from the door-god stance, saying: "I don't care what method you use; as long as you make me bleed, even just a drop, you can go in, and I won't stop you afterward."

Saying this, he feared Su Qing wouldn't take the bait, and added: "However, this only applies tonight; after tonight there will be no such opportunity."

After speaking, his body shuddered, he moved his limbs, emitting a series of creaking sounds, as if all the bones inside were moving.

Hearing this made Su Qing's teeth feel sore; he secretly wondered how long this guy had held that pose.

However, astonishment aside, one still has to go up.

A man can be timid, can be soft, but just cannot say he can't.

Moreover, if he wants to enter the tomb chamber next time, he still must first get past Lu Dexiu's gate.

Now there happens to be an opportunity to settle the matter once and for all; how could he let it slip easily?

After all, once you pass this village, there's no such shop.

Thinking of this, Su Qing nodded, counting it as agreeing to the matter.

Afterward, the two didn't go to the training area; they simply started fighting right in front of the iron gate.

However, because they were near the iron gate, they had to walk out a certain distance.

Thus, the two walked one in front, one behind toward the outside.

Su Qing had never fought with his full strength before, still hadn't gauged his actual power, but thinking of the opponent's five master skills, he knew Lu Dexiu's strength was enough to crush him.

However, he doesn't need to defeat Lu Dexiu; just making him bleed is enough. He, Su Qing, refuses to believe that, despite having one master-level martial art and two proficient combat skills, he still couldn't make this man shed a drop of blood.

Conversely, if he can't make the opponent bleed, he might as well just kill himself by hitting a tofu block.

But considering the gap between them, he must strike first to gain advantage.

Moreover...

Su Qing's eyes revealed killing intent.

Just now this guy said he only kills, not spars.

That is to say, this guy will absolutely show no mercy in his attacks.

For the final victory, he too must muster the resolve to kill his opponent.

「Huh! 」

As the two had walked a short distance, as if sensing Su Qing's change, Lu Dexiu's steps halted and he began to turn.

With the turn of his body, Su Qing instantly sensed a bloody smell rushing toward him.

In an instant, it seemed as if a river of blood came rolling forward, engulfing him.

That sensation made Su Qing break out in a cold sweat; after crossing so much time, he had never before encountered such a strong bloody odor, to the point it could induce hallucinations.

Like a ferocious beast, Lu Dexiu caused Su Qing's hair to stand on end instantly, his muscles bulging.

Then he lunged out violently, aiming straight for Lu Dexiu's heart; at this moment, his speed reached an unprecedented limit.

But unexpectedly, this seemingly lethal strike missed its mark.

Lu Dexiu's figure vanished before his eyes; the next moment, a chill shot up from his tailbone straight to the crown of his head.

Su Qing spun around sharply, and saw Lu Dexiu standing right behind him……
