He was on a completely different level from the Emperor Realm Martial Artists at the previous Martial Artist Base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why, once Xiao Cangqing made his move, he couldn’t afford to hold anything back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed the Elemental Power and Mysterious Power within him to their absolute limits,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>like a massive, high-speed furnace, its raging energy surging and exploding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless fishing lines descended from the sky, hooking straight toward the figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your strength is a cut above that Emperor Realm Martial Artist from the Great Jing Empire,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but in my eyes, you’re still just an ant I can crush at will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s pupils swiftly turned blood-red, as if they were made of compressed blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he was clearly smiling, it created a chilling, disconnected impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man looked up, his blood-red eyes giving the descending fishing lines a dismissive glance, and they instantly shattered, inch by inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Xiao Cangqing felt the Mysterious Power within him instantly suppressed, like a mouse before a cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The last time I felt this was from Chu He,’ he thought. ’Could this man’s power be on par with his?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this the hidden strength of the Lighthouse Empire?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despair washed over Xiao Cangqing, and his heart pounded with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even have the courage to meet the young man’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mysterious Power in his body was completely suppressed.

How could he be so spineless?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he watched as Xiao Cangqing collapsed, stiff as a board, a blissful smile on his face as he lost consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the slight rise and fall of his chest showed that Xiao Cangqing wasn’t dead, merely unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the young man was about to make his next move, a figure materialized out of thin air without any warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure stood upon the empty air,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>standing there silently, looking at him with a calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re Chu He?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s mind raced; he recognized the abrupt newcomer’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He’s eyes moved over the stranger.

I am Jerry, from the Lighthouse Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the one hailed as the strongest expert on Blue Star, you have the right to know whose hand you will die by.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man’s words were utterly arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, this so-called \"strongest in the world\" had never even touched upon the world’s true, core secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only because his kind had not revealed their true faces to the world that a few buffoons were able to prop him up on a pedestal like a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Jerry would personally put an end to the legend of this \"strongest in the world,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and let those lowly humans have a proper taste of what true despair felt like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He’s Primordial Spirit Power left the other man with nowhere to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could clearly sense\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that the man’s body contained none of the aura or unique fluctuations of a living person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only the same coldness and savagery he’d found in other Evil Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reminded Chu He of something the goat-headed Evil Spirit, Bafumie, had mentioned before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true power behind the Lighthouse Empire was a Vampire Clan with a lineage stretching back thousands of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be from the Lighthouse Empire’s Vampire clan,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He stated, his voice as calm as still water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You even know about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watch your tongue! We are not mere Vampires, we are the noble Blood Race!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of surprise appeared in Jerry’s eyes for the first time, but he still corrected Chu He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Vampire is a Vampire. A creature that can’t stand the sunlight! A different name won’t change the fact that you still can’t face the light!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He mocked him with contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words were like a dagger to Jerry’s heart, and his expression instantly darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beneath the magnificent tailcoat, custom-made by a master tailor of old,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a great swarm of bats suddenly burst forth. Like the most turbulent tide in the dead of night, they instantly tore apart the tranquility of the daytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They took flight, their wings beating as they wove together into a black curtain that blotted out the sky, swallowing every last ray of sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky looked as if it had been doused in thick ink, so dark that not even the sun’s light could pierce it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his wrist, Jerry tossed his parasol to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his slender fingers flexed, and his sharp nails tore through his white gloves, glinting coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, he lunged straight for Chu He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He’s body shifted like a dragon emerging from the sea, the Xuanyuan Sword materializing in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade flowed with a dazzling golden light, the ultimate manifestation of pure Yang Power,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with every inch exuding an inviolable majesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his wrist, the sword flashed like a dragon, cleaving through the air with the power to tear through anything as it shot toward Jerry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this unstoppable strike, a look of disbelief flashed in Jerry’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected Chu He’s strength to have reached such a level,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the Yang Power contained within that sword light could rival the brilliance of the sun itself, inspiring awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerry muttered, \"To be known by the world as the strongest expert on Blue Star... you truly live up to the name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing he could no longer win on speed and strength alone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerry suddenly parted his lips, and a deep roar mixed with an ancient Spell erupted from his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, great Ancestor, please protect your descendant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of black blood. The blood didn’t scatter but was drawn by an invisible force, coalescing into a complex and bizarre Rune that radiated a heart-stoppingly evil aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the Rune, the screeches of bats rose and fell, weaving a symphony of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Rune took shape, the space behind Jerry began to distort,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and a massive, black phantom slowly emerged. The shadow was incomparably vast, wreathed in profound darkness and an indescribable power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like the projection of an ancient, evil god, its true form impossible to look upon directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its very presence seemed to make the surrounding air freeze solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancestor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu He watched with interest as the black phantom gradually solidified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black phantom expanded rapidly, forming a behemoth fifty to sixty meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Jerry’s entire aura grew increasingly ferocious.\u003C\u002Fp>",1338,"2026-06-06T16:46:32.086Z",1,"novelbin.me","fe16df8d31ff29c603f0e1278f34dcdcda2d27fe208f802b5aa6c4877f67de99","national-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-chapter-115","national-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-chapter-113",274,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnational-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-cover.jpg"]
