Chapter 409

The water columns fell, and Lingyun still stood tall on the surface of the water, with water dragons roaring around him. Abel hovered in mid-air, blood-colored mist billowing around him, forming various monsters.

"Blood Beasts, kill!" Abel waved his hands, and the blood mist around him instantly expanded, transforming into several ferocious Blood Beasts that lunged toward Lingyun to tear him apart.

"Because you couldn't break through, you put in hard work on various techniques?" Lingyun looked at the lifelike Blood Beasts pouncing toward him. "Looking at it like this, it actually has a bit of the feel of a familiar beast!"

"Go!" Lingyun pointed with one hand, and the water dragons circling him let out a silent roar, heading to meet the Blood Beasts.

The water dragons and Blood Beasts fought on the sea surface, and terrifying energy fluctuations constantly spread to the surroundings, causing the surrounding sea to boil.

As the battle between the water dragons and the Blood Beasts became increasingly white-hot, Abel's complexion changed from confident to increasingly ugly. Lingyun stood on the vast sea, and his strange technique seemed to be able to constantly borrow the power of the sea. How strong the power of the sea was—even for Abel, he was nothing more than a slightly larger ant in front of it. Under these circumstances, Lingyun's consumption was minimal.

Contrary to him, Abel's Blood Beasts consumed his own power, and he did not have the almost infinite magic power of the Vampire Progenitors in Strike the Blood. If this consumption continued, the one who would definitely be unable to hold on was Abel.

"Explode!" Abel made a prompt decision and simultaneously detonated his Blood Beasts.

Under the terrifying explosion, the water dragons flying in mid-air were all destroyed, turning into water spray filling the sky.

The moment he detonated the Blood Beasts, the bat wings behind Abel spread out, pushing his speed advantage as a Vampire to the limit; his entire body instantly broke the sound barrier, killing toward Lingyun's direction.

"Southern Cross Shield!" Lingyun performed a hand seal, and a huge star-shaped shield rose up in front of him.

Abel's hands turned into sharp claws, grabbing heavily onto the Southern Cross Shield. The incomparably hard Southern Cross Shield was actually torn to pieces by this grab from Abel.

Having torn apart the Southern Cross Shield, Abel's offensive also stalled. A burst of light suddenly erupted from under Lingyun's feet, and with the recoil of this light, Lingyun's figure instantly dashed toward Abel's direction.

"Boom—"

Amidst a violent roar, Abel's entire body was struck by Lingyun into a mass of scattered blood mist.

The blood mist dissipated toward the surroundings, then gathered again not far away to become Abel. A trace of paleness appeared on Abel's face; if he hadn't turned himself into blood mist in time just now, Lingyun's strike would definitely have severely injured him. But even so, his internal organs were still severely damaged.

"This is what you forced me to do!" A low roar erupted from Abel's mouth, and a blood-red Long sword appeared in his hand.

After this blood-red Long sword appeared, Lingyun's eyes could not help but narrow slightly. A heart-palpitating aura emanated from this Long sword, and Lingyun could conclude that this sword was definitely the personal weapon of a top-tier Vampire Prince.

"Those who have been able to see this sword are all dead. Now you are the third; your ending will not change!" After Abel took out this sword, his appearance actually aged a bit, but the aura on his body expanded crazily, and there were even faint signs of stepping into the Prince level.

"Overdrawing your own life and power to improve your strength?" Lingyun grabbed with one hand, and the water dragon circling around him let out a heaven-shaking roar, pouncing toward Abel's direction. "If you rely solely on this sword, you definitely have no chance of turning the tables."

"This move is already useless against me!" Abel swung the Long sword in his hand, sweeping out several sword beams in succession.

In front of the sword beams, the water dragon was like paper, directly cut in half and turning into seawater that fell into the sea. The sword beams that cut the water dragon did not lose their momentum and continued to fly toward Lingyun's direction.

Lingyun formed seals with both hands, and water dragons appeared circling around him again. The water dragons intertwined to form a tough Dragon Pattern Water Shield. The sword lights struck the water shield one after another, causing the Dragon Pattern Water Shield to tremble violently, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment.

In the end, the water shield was still unable to withstand the slashing of the Sword Qi and was torn into fragments by the Sword Qi. Lingyun clenched one hand, and massive Source Power gathered on his right fist, slamming heavily into the remaining Sword Qi.

The fist and the Sword Qi collided, emitting a violent roar. Lingyun's figure flew backward, and only after flying dozens of meters did he land heavily on the water surface. Lingyun's right fist trembled slightly; on his hand, a wound appeared, and wisps of fresh blood flowed out.

"As expected of a Prince-level weapon, this kind of power is truly terrifying! Blue Sea Dragon Sword!"

Lingyun grabbed with one hand, and countless water dragons gathered on his hand. The power of the Blue Sea Dragon Sword Art gathered entirely in his hand, transforming into a water sword. Dragon patterns circled on the water sword, emitting a terrifying aura.

"Do you think that by conjuring a sword you can contend with my Blood God Sword?" Abel shouted loudly, and the Blood God Sword in his hand swung up, once again sweeping out streaks of sharp sword light.

Lingyun's expression remained unchanged as he strode toward Abel's direction. The Long sword in his hand would parry or deflect, lift or thrust; every move could strike the weak points of the blood-colored Sword Qi with extreme precision, shattering the Sword Qi into fragments.

"This, how is this possible?" Abel watched as Lingyun easily and freely shattered his attacks, and his expression could not help but change slightly.

"There is nothing impossible; aren't you seeing it right now!" Lingyun continuously approached Abel, the Long sword in his hand releasing streaks of sword light, tearing all the Sword Qi attacking him to shreds.

"I don't believe it, go to hell!" Seeing that his trump card was actually ineffective against Lingyun, Abel was also a bit flustered, but this fluster quickly turned into anger. "Even if it's like this, so what? You are still going to die!"

Abel gripped the Blood God Sword in his hand, poured all his power into the Blood God Sword, and slashed heavily toward Lingyun's direction. A blinding blood-colored radiance erupted from the Blood God Sword, and a terrifying Sword Qi tore through the Void, pouncing toward Lingyun's direction.

"Blood Death Slash!"

Before the Sword Qi even approached, Lingyun already felt his skin aching faintly. Clearly, if this strike landed on him, even if his strength was formidable, he would be severely injured.

"Blue Sea Dragon Roar!" The Blue Sea Dragon Sword left his hand and shattered into countless Sword Qi in mid-air. The Sword Qi intertwined, transforming into a lifelike long dragon.

The long dragon let out a heaven-shaking dragon roar, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it charged toward the blood-colored Sword Qi.

The long dragon and the Sword Qi collided, causing a terrifying explosion. A deadly energy storm, carrying countless shattered Sword Qi, blasted out toward the surroundings.

Lingyun snorted coldly, and a golden Protective Qi Shield appeared on his body. The energy storm and Sword Qi slammed into the Protective Qi Shield, emitting sounds of clashing gold and iron, but they could not shake the Protective Qi Shield on Lingyun's body. The remaining Sword Qi fell onto the sea surface, blasting up water columns and causing a layer of dead fish to float on the water.

Lingyun waved his hand casually, and a gust of wind swept out from his hand, blasting away the turbulent energy in the sky.

Looking up, both the long dragon and the Sword Qi had completely disappeared. In the distance, Abel had already escaped some distance away.

The moment the long dragon and the Sword Qi collided, Abel felt a premonition of disaster and flew toward the direction of the sea without any hesitation.

However, he soon felt despair; the Array shrouding the island actually had the effect of isolating space. That is to say, if he could not destroy this Array, he could not escape this place.

If it were in the past, he could have slowly broken this Array. But now, the power in his body had already been mostly consumed after using the Blood Death Slash, and behind him was the existence of Lingyun, the god of death, which caused a touch of despair to well up in his heart.

"The battle is over!" Lingyun's figure suddenly appeared in front of Abel, and he slammed a fist heavily into his chest.
