Northern City Incident

Nie Ping watched in astonishment as Eve continuously attacked.

He knew that a Sequence Five wasn’t difficult to deal with.

What was difficult was having to endure the monster’s constant mental pollution.

The slightest carelessness could lead to getting lost in the strange whispers.

Otherwise, with Nie Ping’s Sequence Six strength, he wouldn’t be so miserably suppressed by a Sequence Five monster.

But the vampire princess Eve in front of him was a completely different story.

From the moment she appeared, Nie Ping could see her sequence level, which was indeed at the Sequence Five level.

But when she fought the monster, she was even fiercer than he was.

What Nie Ping didn’t know was that after he agreed to cooperate, Eve had used her Soul Vessel to seal her hearing, reducing the influence of the whispers in her ears.

Eve fought the monster, minimizing its influence on her.

“Cocoon Break!”

Eve didn’t hold back, and the phantom of a giant scythe rose behind her.

A bloody mist carrying magic essence churned endlessly around Eve, finally converging on the blade of the Other Shore.

Eve held the Other Shore and swung it fiercely at the monster.

Faced with Eve’s renewed slash, the monster had grown accustomed to it.

It wanted to raise its right arm, attempting to block again with the curved blade that had grown out of its arm.

Only this time, the blade light of the Other Shore, imbued with Cocoon Break, was not as easily blocked by the monster’s curved blade as before.

Instead, like cutting through tofu, the blade directly sliced through the monster’s right arm, revealing a smooth cut.

It was clear that Eve’s move was effective against the monster.

The monster’s figure became unstable in the air and retreated several steps before it could barely stop itself from falling back.

“It’s all flesh and blood inside?”

After slashing with the Other Shore, Eve was surprised to find that the cut on the monster’s arm made by the Other Shore was very different from that of a normal person.

She had thought that the sturdy curved blade on the monster’s body would be a mutation of bone, but after the Other Shore cut it open, she discovered that it was all flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood in the wound cut by Eve were constantly wriggling, attempting to repair the injured body part.

This characteristic didn’t seem to be present on Fol’s body before.

Perhaps it was due to individual differences.

Just then, from behind the monster, Nie Ping’s figure flashed out.

While Eve was using Cocoon Break to attack, he hadn’t been idle and just watching from the side.

Since he had agreed to cooperate, it was impossible for him not to contribute.

With his dignity as a Sequence Six, Nie Ping would never allow himself to be outdone by a weaker blood race.

Caught off guard, Nie Ping brought his two fingers together and directly pierced the monster’s shoulder blade, leaving a blood hole the size of a ping pong ball.

Nie Ping attracted the monster’s attention from the front, and the polluting whispers were also weakened for Nie Ping, allowing him to better exert his original killing power.

This was much better than when he was alone.

After taking a blow from Eve and having his body pierced by Nie Ping, the monster let out an angry roar from its throat.

The thin threads of flesh and blood near the wound were constantly wriggling, accelerating the healing of the wound.

“Don’t hold back!”

To avoid any accidents, Eve shouted directly at Nie Ping.

Immediately, the aura on the Other Shore rose again, reaching a terrifying level.

Nie Ping, who had followed the sound, raised his head and saw the aura rising from Eve.

At this moment, Eve was infinitely close to the boundary of Sequence Six, only a hair’s breadth away from the true sequence.

‘Is this the future successor of the blood race? In the future, she will be another powerful blood race empress.’

Nie Ping’s heart was filled with bitterness, because when he was as young as Eve, he didn’t have such strength.

However, now was not the time to be distracted.

Nie Ping took a deep breath, his gaze focused on the monster, and the remaining magic essence in his body began to accumulate.

Faced with Eve and Nie Ping’s power-up, the monster would naturally not sit back and wait for death.

Its body gradually became transparent, revealing the white bones inside.

The curved blade that had been cut off by Eve had already regrown under its full power.

It smelled the scent of danger from Eve and Nie Ping, and tried to gather all the power of this body to resist the attack of the two.

“Let’s end the battle with this one blow!”

Eve’s toes tapped lightly, and her body was wrapped in a scarlet magic essence aura, standing in the sky like a magnificent and dazzling work of art.

And the Other Shore in her hand was completely different from before, dim and without light, shedding all its gorgeous appearance.

Eve held the Other Shore and slowly swung it towards the monster’s neck.

And Nie Ping, who had finished accumulating power, aimed at the monster’s heart.

Under the pincer attack of both sides, with a loud bang, a strong explosion rose in the mid-air of the Northern Border Defense City.

In the strong explosion, only a strange cry was heard.

Although the blood race and humans who had stopped fighting could not hear the meaning of the language, it did not affect their ability to distinguish the mournful and desperate cry hidden in the words.

After the explosion, the figures of Eve and Nie Ping slowly appeared in the sky, while the monster had disappeared without a trace under their combined attack.

“Then, I will take half of the monster’s corpse in the Northern Border Defense City. This kind of monster is not recorded in the blood race, so I will take it back to the clan for research.”

“As for compensation, I will send someone to communicate with you.”

Eve withdrew the Other Shore and informed Nie Ping of her plan.

Originally, she was going to take one body, but she didn’t expect to be too heavy-handed.

Then the only thing that could be divided was the corpse of Fol in the Northern Border Defense City.

“Then we will take the remaining half.”

Nie Ping had no objection to this distribution and nodded in agreement.

Eve flapped her wings and flew towards the Northern Border Defense City, preparing to collect her share of the experimental materials.

Looking at Eve’s back as she flew towards the Northern Border Defense City, Nie Ping’s hanging hand was clenched for a moment.

After a moment, he still released it, not intending to do anything.

Eve collected the upper half of Fol’s body, including the head, into her ring.

Then Nie Ping opened a portal, but was about to leave the Northern Border Defense City.

Suddenly, the air around her seemed to be frozen, and she couldn’t even move a single step.

Nie Ping’s beautiful eyebrows raised.

Eve saw a completely unfamiliar figure standing in the sky, the aura emanating from his body was even more profound than Nie Ping’s.

Eve’s eyes sank, and she immediately knew the other party’s identity.

“Your Highness the Princess of the blood race, I’ll have to trouble you to stay here.”

The Sequence Seven in the sky said, and with a grasp of the void, a hand formed by magic essence continuously enlarged in front of Eve’s eyes, reaching for her.

As long as he captured the blood race princess, then the blood race would have to pay a huge price to redeem her.

The Sequence Seven who had rushed over was already happily imagining the scene after his great achievement.

Seeing Eve imprisoned on the spot, he was about to say something, but in the end, he chose to give up and stood quietly on the spot, watching the development of the situation.

Even in the face of the human Sequence Seven, Eve’s pretty face still showed no emotion, but quietly watched the hand in the sky fall.

Only by getting close would one find the ridicule in her eyes.

He had never officially appeared in front of humans.

How could he possibly know her identity?

The only thing Eve could think of was that she had actually arrived in the Northern Border Defense City early, but had not shown herself.

“Blood race princess! Remember that the one who captured you is called Zhang Ruiming!”

Zhang Ruiming’s face wore a ferocious smile, and his expression was eager to try.

With just a little bit more distance, he would become the first heroic figure in the history of the Human Federation to capture a blood race!

His hand was constantly approaching Eve, but he did not see the slightest hint of panic.

Zhang Ruiming attributed all this to the blood race princess maintaining her calm and collected attitude.

But he did not expect to see a hint of mockery on Eve’s face, as if she was watching a clown perform.

After becoming a Sequence Seven, Zhang Ruiming was respected by people wherever he went in the Human Federation.

He had probably never seen such a mocking expression.

For a moment, he was furious, and the force of his hand trying to grab Eve increased by a few points.

He wanted to let this little girl know that some people were not to be trifled with, not even the princess of the blood race!

Zhang Ruiming controlled the increased strength very well, enough to make Eve feel uncomfortable but not injured.

This was his bargaining chip for promotion.

He couldn’t let her get injured, so as not to anger the blood race.

“Kneel down for me!”

A faint purple light spread under Eve’s feet, enveloping everyone in the Northern Border Defense City, including Zhang Ruiming in the sky.

After being enveloped by the faint purple light, everyone’s body froze on the spot, just like what Eve had just experienced.

With the appearance of the voice, an irresistible urge to bow down to Eve arose in the hearts of everyone enveloped in the light.

People with strong willpower might still be able to hold on, because the owner of the voice was not targeting them, but of course, there was one exception.

No matter how hard Zhang Ruiming struggled, he was terrified to find that he could not resist the urge to kneel down.

He was already a strong Sequence Seven, but why?

Immediately, Zhang Ruiming noticed the faint purple light that enveloped the entire Northern Border Defense City and thought of a possibility.

“Domain!”

Using magic essence to construct a space that belongs exclusively to oneself, a space that can be freely controlled by the owner of the domain.

Thinking that the person he was facing was a domain owner, Zhang Ruiming gave up his resistance and knelt down towards Eve with his head bowed.

“Your Highness, are you hurt?”

From the faint purple domain, a voluptuous woman walked out.

She was wearing a long dress of the same color as the domain, with a prominent beauty mark at the corner of her eye.

She walked to Eve’s side and turned a few circles, then held Eve’s face and carefully examined it from left to right.

“It’s been a few years since we last met, Your Highness, you’ve lost weight. It seems that Winnie didn’t take good care of you.”

Seeing that the other party had the intention of blaming Winnie, Eve quickly shook her head and said, “Not at all, Winnie did a very good job, Aunt Cecia.”

The woman in front of her was Winnie’s mother, one of the blood race princes, Cecia, and also a loyal royalist who stayed in the royal capital until the end.

“It’s good that Your Highness is satisfied. Let’s solve the matter in front of us first, then we can reminisce about the old days.”
Zhang Ruiming.

In her heart, the crime of offending the royal family was enough to have Zhang Ruiming torn to pieces.

However, before Cecia could take two steps, she was pulled back by Eve.

“Aunt Cecia, let’s just give her a lesson this time.”

Whether it was because the lower-level nobles had launched an attack on the Northern Border Defense City without authorization, which caused a series of problems, Eve felt that now was not the time to fall out with the humans.

Once Cecia killed someone, it was very likely to trigger a series of wars.

At that time, the chaotic situation would be beneficial to both sides, and would only lead Eve’s investigation to a dead end.

After hearing Eve’s low-voiced analysis, Cecia nodded in approval, “Since that’s the case, death can be spared, but punishment cannot be escaped.”

With a blade of magic essence, she directly cut off the arm that Zhang Ruiming had just stretched out towards Isa.

A dignified Sequence Seven, who was respected by many in the Human Federation, couldn’t even make a sound in Cecia’s domain.

He could only watch as his arm was cut off.

Although there were many magical herbs or potions hidden in the ruins that could regenerate a severed arm.

But a Sequence Seven who had lost an arm would be greatly reduced in strength, and it was unknown if he could get what he wanted from the ruins alone.

Crippling a Sequence Seven with a laugh, this was the style of a domain powerhouse.

After crippling Zhang Ruiming, Cecia withdrew her domain and followed Eve out of the Northern Border Defense City again.

“Although there was a little hiccup in the middle, the previous cooperation has been completed, and the compensation will be given to you in the near future.”

When passing by Nie Ping, Eve took the initiative to stop and mention the previous cooperation.

When Zhang Ruiming was preparing to capture Eve, Nie Ping had already given up hope for compensation for the previous cooperation.

He didn’t expect the other party to still remember this matter.

Seeing Nie Ping’s surprised eyes, Cecia, who was following behind, snorted and explained.

“Don’t think that our blood race is barbaric and unreasonable. We will definitely complete what we have promised.”

When they arrived at the blood race troops that were still in place, there was no need for Eve to open her mouth.

Cecia directly gave the order for her.

“Everyone, return to the royal capital immediately and wait for the next arrangement!”

After that, Eve and Cecia led the blood race troops away from the Northern Border Defense City.

Just as Nie Ping turned to leave, Cecia’s voice came to his ear.

“Human, I will pass on a message for Her Highness. The human woman who fell in the city has only a little bit of life force left and can only live for a few more months.”

“If you want her to continue to live, you need a potion that can supplement her life force. This potion can only appear in the ruins.”

“Of course, there is a more direct way. Her Highness has a good impression of that human woman. At least a marquis to start with!”

After saying that, Cecia left a few light laughs in Nie Ping’s ear.

After that, no trace of her could be found.
