Chapter 2530

Inside a bottomless pit, the Fourth Princess, whose clothes were almost in strips, breathed heavily. Blood dripped from between her fingers. Having fought until now, she hadn't even seen the enemy's appearance.

"Just a little bit away from catching the trail. If I could get close, the winner would definitely be me, definitely!"

The Fourth Princess shouted in the giant pit as if she had gone berserk.

Boom!

A Wind Trace bullet struck, piercing through the Fourth Princess's body. The strong kinetic energy, combined with the characteristics of her own ability, caused her body to shatter rapidly, turning into black mist and evaporating into the air. The giant pit around her collapsed.

Inside the pitch-black ruins, the top-hat man, covered in blood with one arm blown off, lay on the ground, a dagger piercing his chest.

"You succeeded, bastard Ted."

The top-hat man lying on the ground exerted force in his hand, crushing a decorative knife made of crystal sand.

With a boom, the crystal sand spread around in a ring shape. The first to be unlucky were the civilian houses near the winery. Under the impact of the crystal sand, these houses instantly turned into flying ash.

After a short 1.2 seconds, with the winery as the center, all buildings in the one-kilometer area around it were razed. The mud exposed on the ground was so flat that people didn't dare to believe it. The ground in this area had disappeared by more than 5 meters. This was the Second Prince, Ted's, finishing means.

High in the sky, Su Xiao grabbed Baha's claw with one hand. Although he had been calculated by an old schemer tonight, as long as he could kill a member of the Royal Family, he didn't care much about whether he was calculated or not.

Because he had fired too many bullets using 【Metal · Tyrant】, Su Xiao's mana value was only 3650 points left. Don't think that this remaining mana value was a lot; his mana value had accumulated to 18816 points.

【You have killed Aedri · Athena.】

【Because Aedri · Athena was a member of the Royal Family of this world, you have obtained 15.9% of the World's Source, currently totaling 36.45% of the World's Source.】

【You have obtained Royal Blood (2/12).】

The Fourth Princess had more Royal Blood. Counting this portion, Su Xiao had already obtained one-fourth of the Royal Blood. The remaining three-fourths were with the old King, the First Prince, the Second Prince, the Fifth Princess, and Lady Spider.

According to the current situation, the Royal Blood retained by the old King should be less than half.

This time, Su Xiao's assassination of the Second Prince, Ted, didn't succeed; instead, the Fourth Princess was caught in the crossfire. It could only be said that things in the world were unpredictable.

Baha lowered its flight altitude, Su Xiao released Baha's claw and landed on the roof of a civilian house.

"Woof."

The dusty Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran over. Just now, it was very clever and retreated quickly; otherwise, it would definitely have been affected by the ring-shaped crystal sand shockwave.

Bringing Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha along, Su Xiao was just about to withdraw when a man wearing silver armor walked out from a nearby alley. It was the Second Prince, Ted.

There was no wind tonight. Su Xiao inhaled a breath of cool air and drew his blade to face the Second Prince, Ted.

"If I remember correctly, my sister is now called Liu."

The Second Prince, Ted, drew the thin sword at his waist. This was a combination of a thin sword and a cross sword. The hilt was nearly 30 centimeters long, the guard was very wide, and there was a gem on each end, forming a triangle with the gem at the end of the hilt.

Although this was a thin sword, the blade was only two fingers wide, yet it gave people a sense of heaviness and sharpness, not appearing thin at all.

Royal Family members who could inherit the Royal Blood and live until now would not be weak. The reason the Third Prince was killed by Su Xiao in one slash earlier was that Su Xiao completely countered the Third Prince.

The Third Prince had relied on powerful mental abilities to pit many strong people to death. Today, retribution had come; he had encountered Su Xiao, who was completely immune to mental control.

"Bai Ye."

The Second Prince, Ted, didn't know how he knew the title Bai Ye, but with this guy's old schemer level, this wasn't worth being surprised about.

"My sister Liu cannot inherit the Royal Blood. She is a very special Aedri Royal. She is actually a 'seed'. Only when the Royal Blood is severed does it become her turn to appear."

The Second Prince, Ted, unbuttoned the button under his neck and rolled up the collar of his right arm.

"Liu shouldn't have come to Tallin. She should be in Bamboo Village. The Blue Clan and our Aedri Royal Family have been allies for generations. They will raise and protect the seeds of the Royal Blood to prevent the Royal Blood from being severed. The clan leader of this generation, Qing Zhang, is not a reckless person. He... is he already dead? Was it you who killed him?"

The Second Prince, Ted's, eyelids drooped, and black aura that almost formed needle-like points surged wildly around. The ground was eroded, and large cracks appeared on the walls. The Second Prince, Ted's, combat power was unexpectedly fierce. Compared to him, the Fourth Princess was simply delivering her head.

The Second Prince, Ted, as an old schemer, was furious at this moment. Everyone had people they cared about, and the person Ted cared about was the clan leader. That was his mentor; his combat skills were all taught by the clan leader. He had grown up in the cold Wang Gong since he was a child, but with the clan leader, the Second Prince, Ted, felt like he had a mentor and a father.

"Answer me, was it you who killed my mentor, Kuku Lin · Bai Ye?"

The Second Prince, Ted's, eyes became pitch black, and the sharp sword in his hand pointed obliquely at the ground.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't explain even a single word, because it was meaningless.

"It seems it wasn't you. I misunderstood you. Sorry."

The Second Prince, Ted's, black aura dissipated. This guy sat on the steps by the street, sheathed his long sword, and smiled all over his face.

"Don't be polite, sit down. Just treat it like your own home."

Ted raised his chin, as if it wasn't him who had just opened his aura fully.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to my father to verify. Liu must absolutely not inherit the Royal Blood, unless you want to turn her into the First King. If you do that, all the strong people in Tallin and the Holy Guard Kingdom will hunt you down. The First King is a taboo that is not allowed to exist. The Royal Blood comes from the First King, but the First King must absolutely not appear again."

Ted took out a piece of dried meat from somewhere and chewed it carefully in his mouth.

"Except for you and me, there are only my brother and Lady Spider left. Those two have already joined forces. Why don't we join forces too?"

The Second Prince, Ted's, words revealed a lot of information, such as Liu not being able to inherit the Royal Blood, the First King, and that besides the Second Prince, the only opponents left were the First Prince and Lady Spider.

There should also be the Fifth Princess. The Second Prince, Ted, saying this, it was very likely that the Fifth Princess was already dead, or she had been captured alive by him, temporarily not killed, and left as a bargaining chip. The Second Prince, Ted, who was a bit "schizophrenic," was very likely to do such a thing.

"You say something. I've been talking for a long time by myself, it's very embarrassing. Don't look at me being so afraid of death, I also care about face."

"Oh."

"You guy must have been a mute in your previous life. How about it? Cooperate?"

The Second Prince, Ted, finished the dried meat and stood up, also patting the dust on his butt.

"Where is the Fifth Princess?"

Su Xiao thought of a possibility; that might be a benefit within reach.

"At my place, not dead yet, but almost. Her subordinates almost slaughtered me. Follow me, I'll take you to see her."

The Second Prince, Ted, walked into the alley. Just a moment ago, he and Su Xiao were still in a life-and-death relationship, and now, this guy actually took the initiative to show up and wanted to cooperate with Su Xiao. It could only be said that the world of old schemers was just like this.

Su Xiao let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha follow behind, at least 2 kilometers away from him. If there was really any accident, he would let the Second Prince, Ted, know what the anger of the sun was. Protection Badge + Apollo equals an instant-death combo that doesn't die on the spot.

The situation within the Royal Capital was becoming increasingly unfathomable. Su Xiao prepared to meet the old King in a short time to verify whether what the Second Prince, Ted, said was true or false.

Liu had always lived in Bamboo Village and had a cheerful personality. Assuming she really inherited the Royal Blood, letting her live in Bamboo Village was equivalent to chronic suicide. Returning to Tallin would mean immediate death. Moreover, when the clan leader was dying, he had said not to use Liu; the thing sealed in Liu's body was very terrifying.

Many signs indicated that Liu really might be the final guarantee of the Royal Blood. When the Royal Blood was severed, the thing sealed in her body would "awaken," producing a trace of Royal Blood. That was why she was in Bamboo Village; it was safer there.

If the Tianba tribe hadn't attacked, she would likely have stayed in Bamboo Village forever. When the new King was crowned and a new seed appeared, the thing sealed in Liu's body would be transferred.

The Second Prince, Ted, knew this secret that even most Tower Keepers didn't know. Either this guy was lying, or he already understood the Royal Blood very well—so well that he could privately use the power of the Royal Blood to briefly improve his own combat power. That was why he dared to appear in front of Su Xiao to cooperate with him.

After circling around the Royal Capital a few times, Su Xiao arrived at the slums on the edge of the capital. This was a place where filth was hidden under the glamour.

The slums at night were very quiet and dark. Facing the faint stench drifting in the air, the Second Prince, Ted, had a normal expression, as if he had long been accustomed to it.

"After being kicked out of the Wang Gong by my father, I have always lived here. At that time, I seemed to be 7 years old, I don't remember clearly. If my father saw that it was me who went to inherit his Royal Blood, his expression would definitely be very wonderful."

The Second Prince, Ted, seemed to have thought of something very interesting, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Here, this is my home. You wait a moment."

The Second Prince, Ted, stopped in front of a semi-abandoned stone building and knocked on the door rhythmically.

With a *creak*, the door was pushed open. A hunchbacked old man stood in the dim porch, holding a heavy hook blade in his hand.

"Let people disperse. Is that woman dead?"

"Not dead."

"That's good."

After the Second Prince, Ted, greeted Su Xiao, he stepped into the stone building.

After Su Xiao entered the stone building, he followed Ted to the basement. The basement door was pushed open, and a woman tied to a chair appeared in Su Xiao's eyes.

The woman in the basement stared coldly at Su Xiao and Ted, and in her mouth, she was biting the throat of a child.

"Why did you kill him? Without this little guy, you wouldn't even have a drop of water to drink."

Ted looked at the food and water stains scattered on the ground. Clearly, his subordinates had disobeyed his orders. The little guy was very kind and had delivered food and water to the Fifth Princess, but ended up having his throat bitten off by the Fifth Princess, who sucked his blood dry. The little guy had just died completely, meaning it had happened just now.

The Fifth Princess released the child's corpse. With her mouth full of blood, she moved her neck. Suddenly, her arm, which had been pierced by iron chains, grew a large chunk.

"Ah!"

The Fifth Princess roared, her whole body exerted force, and the iron chains clattered. Alas, she couldn't break free.

"How many times have I told you, this is a Drowning Cast Steel chain, the chain used by the Tianba tribe to imprison ancient gods. Still, tell me, where is that thing."

*Puchi. *

An afterimage flashed by. The Fifth Princess was stunned for a moment. With blood spraying from her throat, she laughed wildly.

"Don't even think about knowing."

After the Fifth Princess finished this sentence, her whole body exerted force, and blood sprayed all over Ted. The Fifth Princess was now unable to die even if she wanted to. Su Xiao had suddenly slashed her with a short blade, giving her a chance to be liberated.

【You have killed Aedri · Ruper.】

【Because Aedri · Ruper was a member of the Royal Family of this world, you have obtained 15.4% of the World's Source, currently totaling 51.85% of the World's Source.】

【Because Aedri · Ruper was in a 'Drowning Cast Steel chain' imprisonment state, the Royal Blood needs to be extracted by the hunter themselves.】

Ted wiped the blood off his face, turned his gaze to Su Xiao, and said, "Aren't you prepared to explain?"

"Hand slipped."

"Too perfunctory. Change to another explanation."

"Cooperate."

"Cooperate? Hmm, I believe your hand slipped. Tomorrow we will go and eliminate my brother. How about this proposal?"

Ted's finger pointed at the Fifth Princess's brow. Jelly-like blood seeped out from the Fifth Princess's brow and merged into Ted's finger.

"Brother, I know you are listening. We will go to kill you tomorrow morning."

Ted shouted with his head raised. Nothing changed in the basement.

Inside a secret room deep underground in the Royal Capital, a pair of vertical pupils opened. This was a man with long golden hair. His somewhat fluffy hair was draped behind his back, making people feel his domineering sense.

This was the First Prince, Walsh. Through his own means, he had already seen with his own eyes that the two most difficult-to-deal-with people in the Royal Capital had joined forces just now.

"Meaningless alliance."

The First Prince, Walsh, snorted coldly. He got up from the stone platform, opened the secret door, and walked into the underground passage.

If Baha saw this scene, it would definitely say: "You are so fierce, why are you running?"

What the First Prince, Walsh, really didn't want to admit was that he had insomnia tonight. Also suffering from insomnia like him was Lady Spider.

Originally, six people were competing for the Royal Blood, but after Su Xiao and Ted met, the Fourth Princess was immediately caught in the crossfire and died suddenly, and then the Fifth Princess also cooled down. The competition of six people was reduced to four.

What was even more terrifying was that Su Xiao and Ted had joined forces, and they were prepared to go and deal with the First Prince, Walsh, tomorrow morning. Walsh even knew about this matter. Could he not have insomnia?
