Chapter 61: Awakening

Jiang Xia looked with a solemn expression at the back kitchen of the restaurant that had taken in Lingmu Shenyang, his body tense.

He could attack at any moment, and at the same time his Yabianfu San Shi remained beside him.

Obviously, it also sensed it.

"This is the Queen's power, truly terrifying—it can actually kill so many people in an instant while unconscious,

and most of them lost their lives in that instant, turning directly into transparent husks—truly befitting the Queen of the Tooth Blood Vampires."

Various thoughts flowed through Jiang Xia's mind; he could only hear faint cracking sounds coming from the restaurant's back kitchen room.

Immediately after, a dull thud rang out as the tray Shenyang was holding smashed directly onto the ground.

Obviously she had just been hungry, wanting to come eat at the place where she was looking for work, but she was frightened by the fallen husks littering the ground.

He had certainly never seen it before; this was something Jiang Xia casually made up.

After a slight pause, the hurried footsteps rushed off into the distance.

Finally they coalesced into a massive pillar of light shooting straight to the horizon, the boiling demonic emperor's power gradually staining the sky into night, even the sun unable to pierce this veil.

He dispelled his invisibility state, a figure clad in a pure black long robe,

an illusory figure wearing round glasses instantly appeared beside the restaurant.

Such a thing was utterly effortless for him.

Looking at the Chariot with no further action,

When he noticed that this Bishop, a Tooth Blood Vampire officer, had tracked down Lingmu Shenyang by scent,

He merely tore open the bloody reality and showed it to her; everything he said was completely truthful.

"The new Chariot and Queen, the King has been waiting for you for a long time." The Bishop's thoughts shifted quickly as he spoke.

Jiang Xia followed the Bishop while making guesses in his mind.

The kind boss who had taken her in and the friends she associated with were actually all killed by her.

Jiang Xia's gaze shifted slightly; he had been about to continue following Shenyang, but suddenly recalling something, he silently drew back the leg he was about to step forward with.

The Bishop calmed somewhat; the Chariot is one of the Tooth Blood Vampire officers, and his growing strength is a great boon for the Tooth Blood Vampire clan.

Saying this, he handed over a lacquer-black notebook engraved with a silver seal to Shenyang, saying:

"Controlling the present Queen is also quite easy, but the Bishop understood at first sight upon seeing Jiang Xia,"

but the facts lay before them—even the Queen's power dormant within Shenyang's body had awakened due to this energy burst.

Yet in his memory he had never seen such a face before.

Upon his body, light blazed intensely; in the blink of an eye, a purple glow gradually enveloped Shenyang, while the Bishop turned blue.

She could not believe she had actually killed people, and so many of them.

This generation's Chariot could be the strongest of all generations; the King is the same, his potential even able to vie for first place among past Kings.

Above the sky, after Jiang Xia actively withdrew his power, the huge shadow also gradually restored light,

but the Bishop still could not believe that the Chariot could possess such tremendous power.

Now worrying about the King is just needless anxiety.

……

"Queen, I've come to find you—you can't escape." The Bishop pushed up the glasses on his nose, giving a grim smile.

"Who are you?" Lingmu Shenyang noticed this ill-intentioned person walking toward her, her heart sinking involuntarily.

But if it affected his plans, then that would be another matter.

The Bishop revealed a hint of a cruel smile.

Being able to call out his rank shows that one knows more than the average Tooth Blood Vampire, and should be quite familiar with his methods.

He has a pair of very distinctive gray eyes; when one is stared at by those eyes,

one's keen senses go into frantic alarm, as if those eyes could probe his secrets.

Thinking of this, the flustered Bishop once again regained his original elegant composure.

The Bishop stood behind with his arms crossed, watching, with no intention of going over to comfort.

He had looked into the background of this generation's Queen; she had grown up as an ordinary human from childhood, only recently undergoing awakening.

Beneath the empty archway, the now-calm Shenyang and the stiff-faced Bishop stood straight one before the other, with a considerable empty space between them.

In the Bishop's eyes, the man opposite suddenly seemed to have a strange feeling.

"You are the new Chariot!" The Bishop wiped the cold sweat that had burst out from his head due to the erupting power, stared in shock at the seemingly ordinary youth, and spoke with a dry throat.

"Huh."

Other people's lives, within the scope of his ability, can be helped with ease.

Her body involuntarily shifted slightly backward, attempting to distance herself from that man.

Just like the original King, both were raised from ordinary humans.

He had just finished speaking when the corner of his eye caught the new Chariot,

Or perhaps, in private, letting her know she had killed many people, to make her accept her identity as a Tooth Blood Vampire?

The Bishop still rather missed that big oaf—at least he understood the rules, was strong, could fulfill the Chariot's duties, and obeyed orders.

He had just finished speaking when the corner of his eye caught the new Chariot,

So just as they once pulled the King back onto the right path, they can now use the same method to pull the Queen back.

With the lion's roar resounding, the Bishop's right-hand mark and Shenyang's left-hand mark involuntarily appeared.

"This is all due to your uncontrollable Queen's power."

Looking at this, the Bishop would likely use some special method to awaken Lingmu Shenyang's Queen's power,

intentionally killing the humans and Tooth Blood Vampires she loved right before her eyes.

Impossible—how could the new Chariot possibly be this strong, its power even able to rival the King?

Jiang Xia also happened to be preparing to continue tracking, but the Bishop simply appeared one step ahead.

The Empress's duty is to execute those Tooth Blood Vampires who have fallen in love with humans; this is the list.

Surging power violently boiled forth from within him, the light like cooking smoke, twisting and rising,

That person's gaze was icy and cruel, like a venomous snake that attacks anyone it meets, and even the surrounding air grew tense.

However, these had nothing to do with Jiang Xia; he merely wanted to find Dark Kiva.

The Bishop's face was grim, giving a slightly warning look at this strange man.

You still have such bad taste, Bishop.

A stranger's voice sounded from ahead of the two, interrupting the Bishop's grim laughter.

Just as he had expected.

For a long, long time, he could not regain calm.

Layers of air waves rolled up in the air, a roar, directly sweeping over the Bishop and Shen Yang.

Shen Yang's trembling hands retreated stumbling, his mouth continuously shouting:

Next, a complex pattern emerged from Jiang Xia's cheek.

You cannot escape your fate, Empress; in your unconscious state you attacked many humans.

Therefore, a weapon with its own consciousness is extremely unstable.

He is not the type easily influenced by others.

You're lying, this isn't true.

The chariot's position among the Four Horsemen of Death has always been as weapon and guard, but now it has produced a considerable deviation.

"This is troublesome." The Bishop pushed his round-frame glasses, thinking.
