“Why?” Blood Demon Emperor gazed at the void, a sense of helplessness rising in his heart. What had he done wrong to encounter that person again?
The events from a year ago were still vivid in his mind, impossible to forget.
It had been the most tragic incident in his life. He had thought that by offering the Heart Demon Emperor, he could avoid torment. But he never expected that the Heart Demon Emperor had suffered unimaginable agony and now it was his turn again.
“Heaven… Earth… What have I, the Blood Demon Emperor, done wrong to deserve meeting such a person?” The Blood Demon Emperor felt like crying but had no tears, his heart filled with sorrow.
If creatures from the Blood Realm saw the Blood Demon Emperor’s expression at this moment, they would surely be shocked speechless.
Was this still the mighty Blood Demon Emperor who dominated the Blood Realm? Where had his majesty gone? Where had his dominance gone?
Was this still the revered Emperor they feared? How could he be so terrified by a mere human that his mind collapsed?
The Blood Demon Emperor sighed slowly. Sometimes, yielding was a form of strength.
“Thud…”
“Why?” The Blood Demon Emperor gazed into the void, a sense of helplessness rising in his heart. What had he done wrong to encounter this person again?
The events of a year ago were still vivid in his memory, impossible to forget.
It had been the most tragic experience of his life. He had thought that by betraying the Heart Demon Emperor, he could escape further torment. Yet, now the Heart Demon Emperor had suffered unimaginable horrors, and the torment had come full circle, landing back on him.
“Heavens… Earth… What have I, the Blood Demon Emperor, done to deserve meeting such a person?” The Blood Demon Emperor felt utterly desolate, on the verge of tears.
If the creatures of the Blood Realm were to see the expression on the Blood Demon Emperor’s face at this moment, they would be utterly stunned.
Was this still the Blood Demon Emperor who once dominated the Blood Realm? Where was his majesty? Where was his dominance?
Was this still the emperor they revered? How could he be so utterly broken by a mere human?
The Blood Demon Emperor sighed slowly. Sometimes, surrendering was a form of strength.
“Thud…”
His colossal body, once towering and unyielding, suddenly knelt to the ground. His knees, which had never bent before, now bowed before Lin Fan. The emperor, whose pride once reached the heavens, had completely submitted, utterly defeated.
The once domineering and imperious expression gradually shifted, replaced by a look of deep sorrow, like a resentful woman in seclusion, tinged with melancholy.
“Big brother…” The Blood Demon Emperor lowered his noble head, his fierce eyes desperately trying to soften, to appear more amiable.
Before this human, the Blood Demon Emperor had truly surrendered, without even a hint of resistance.
The Blood Demon Emperor was not afraid of the strong, nor was he afraid of death. But if death came so easily, he would accept it.
The crux of the matter was that this human was a beast. He could have crushed him outright, but instead, he chose to torment him in every way possible.
Beheading, cutting off limbs, even slashing at his groin.
Who in the world could commit such heinous acts?
Lin Fan’s students were utterly dumbfounded.
In their minds, this terrifying entity, once so formidable, was now kneeling before their teacher, respectfully addressing him as “big brother.”
It all felt so surreal.
What kind of existence was their teacher? How could such a fearsome being submit to his authority?
Admiration—at this moment, the students’ admiration for Lin Fan soared to unprecedented heights.
He was a powerful ally, a formidable backer.
“Zhu You, your teacher is so incredible,” Zhu You’s mistress, who had been stunned from the start, was now even more shocked as she watched the terrifying giant kneel before him.
“Yeah…” Zhu You was no better off, deeply astonished by the scene before him, as if he couldn’t believe his eyes.
Zhu You pinched himself hard, only to confirm that this was indeed real.
…
“Blood Demon Emperor…” Lin Fan, seeing the Blood Demon Emperor in this state, was at a loss for words.
This attitude was too good, almost unsettling.
If the Blood Demon Emperor had roared in defiance, Lin Fan would have struck without hesitation. But now, with the Blood Demon Emperor so docile, Lin Fan didn’t know how to proceed.
After all, a ruler of the Blood Realm, showing such deference—it would be unreasonable to simply cut him down.
“Big brother, just call me Little Blood,” the Blood Demon Emperor’s heart was bleeding.
It had been countless years since he had encountered such a situation. In his mind, humans had always been insignificant creatures.
Even those at the peak of the Great Heaven Realm were nothing more than slightly larger ants in his eyes.
But this human before him was not only immensely powerful, but he also took great pleasure in tormenting others.
He was more demonic than the demons themselves.
“Little Blood…” Lin Fan was about to discuss matters with the Blood Demon Emperor. After all, summoning him through a ritual was no small feat, and it would be a waste to gain nothing from it.
“Big brother, no need to say more, I understand…” The Blood Demon Emperor quickly interjected, his entire body’s blood energy surging as droplets of essence blood floated into the void.
“Big brother, these are my offerings to you,” the Blood Demon Emperor knew all too well what the other desired—his essence blood.
Though essence blood was precious, what could he do? Refuse? That would only lead to more suffering, and he would lose his essence blood anyway, along with enduring further torment. The Heart Demon Emperor’s current state was a grim reminder.
After much thought, it was best to comply.
Lin Fan looked at the droplets of essence blood in the void, somewhat dumbfounded. When had the Blood Demon Emperor become so compliant? He hadn’t even spoken, yet the emperor knew what to do. Truly, those who understand the times are the true heroes.
Counting them, there were fifty-six droplets of essence blood.
It seemed the Blood Demon Emperor had gone all out, holding nothing back.
A year ago, Lin Fan had nearly drained the Blood Demon Emperor of his blood. Though he had mostly recovered over the year, how strong could he really be?
Clearly, this time, the Blood Demon Emperor had staked everything, leaving nothing in reserve.
Lin Fan floated in the void, his small hand patting the Blood Demon Emperor’s shoulder.
“Ah, good… good, Little Blood. I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. I promise I will never summon you again. If anyone dares to offend you in the future, just tell me, and I’ll summon them for you to exact your revenge.” Lin Fan felt he couldn’t be too overbearing. The other had been so compliant; to push further would not only be unfair but also something he himself couldn’t stomach.
“Big brother, thank you so much…” At this moment, the Blood Demon Emperor truly wept.
Not tears of gratitude, but tears of relief.
For the Blood Demon Emperor, the words “I will never summon you again” were the most moving.
His life was finally safe.
He could now live freely in the Blood Realm.
Lin Fan waved his sleeve, collecting the essence blood.
“By the way, I have a question. How did the Heart Demon Emperor end up here directly?” Lin Fan asked.
“Big brother, that’s impossible. The Blood Realm is completely isolated from the outside world. Everything requires a ritual to summon us. Though the Heart Demon Emperor is powerful, he couldn’t possibly break through this barrier,” the Blood Demon Emperor explained.
“Oh…” Lin Fan nodded. It seemed the Blood Demon Emperor didn’t know either.
“By the way, big brother, there have been some unusual occurrences in the Blood Realm recently. It seems someone has communicated with the Blood Realm’s source, though nothing significant has happened yet,” the Blood Demon Emperor suddenly remembered and quickly added.
Communicated with the Blood Realm’s source?
That was indeed strange.
“Alright, you’re dismissed. Take the Heart Demon Emperor with you. From now on, keep an eye on him. He’s not to appear again,” Lin Fan ordered.
“Yes, big brother, rest assured. With me around, there will be no problems,” the Blood Demon Emperor replied, his heart filled with excitement.
Finally, he could leave this place.
For the Blood Demon Emperor, this place was far too dangerous.
He now felt more like a blood essence dispenser. He had come out, done nothing, and lost so much essence blood. It was a tragedy.
But being spared further torment was indeed a blessing.
…
The fierce and domineering expression gradually changed, becoming bitter and sorrowful, like a secluded woman filled with quiet sadness.
“Big brother…” The Blood Demon Emperor lowered his noble head, his ferocious eyes trying their best to appear gentle.
Before this human, the Blood Demon Emperor had truly surrendered, without the slightest resistance.
The Blood Demon Emperor was not afraid of strong opponents or death itself. If death came easily, he would have accepted it.
The key issue, however, was that this human was a beast. Though he could easily crush the Blood Demon Emperor, he had instead tortured him endlessly.
Beheading, foot-cutting, hand-cutting, and even cutting at his crotch.
Who in this world could commit such a despicable act?
Lin Fan’s students were stunned at this moment.
In their minds, the terrifyingly powerful existence was now kneeling before their teacher, respectfully calling him “Big brother.”
All of this seemed so surreal.
What kind of being was their teacher? Why would even such a terrifying existence submit to their teacher’s authority?
Admiration… At this moment, all the students’ admiration for Lin Fan soared beyond the skies.
This was a powerful pillar to rely on.
“Zhu You, your teacher is so powerful,” said the young lady from Zhu You’s family, her expression stunned from the beginning. Seeing this terrifyingly huge figure kneeling before him now, she was even more astonished.
“Yeah…” Zhu You wasn’t faring much better. He was deeply shocked by the scene before him, as if unable to believe what he was seeing.
Zhu You pinched himself hard, only to realize that all of this was real.
…
“Blood Demon Emperor…” Seeing the current state of the Blood Demon Emperor, Lin Fan didn’t know what to say.
The attitude was too good, somewhat unsettling.
If the Blood Demon Emperor had roared fiercely, Lin Fan would have attacked without hesitation. But now, seeing the Blood Demon Emperor so obedient, Lin Fan was somewhat at a loss.
After all, the Blood Demon Emperor was a dominant ruler of the Blood Realm, showing such respect. If he were to kill him now, it would be difficult to justify.
“Big brother, just call me Xiao Xue,” the Blood Demon Emperor’s heart was bleeding.
He couldn’t remember how many years had passed since he last experienced such a situation. In their hearts, humans had always been insignificant creatures.
Even those at the peak of the Grand Heaven Position were merely slightly fatter ants in their eyes.
But this human before him was just too strong—not only powerful, but also particularly fond of tormenting others.
He was more demonic than the demons themselves.
“Xiao Xue…” Lin Fan prepared to negotiate with the Blood Demon Emperor. After all, it wasn’t easy to summon someone through a sacrificial ritual. It would be awkward if he got nothing out of it.
“Big brother, you don’t need to say anything. I understand…” The Blood Demon Emperor hurriedly spoke, then his blood surged, and drop by drop of his refined blood floated in the void.
“Big brother, these are all gifts from Xiao Xue to you.” The Blood Demon Emperor knew clearly in his heart that what the other party wanted was his refined blood.
Although refined blood was precious, what could he do? Could he refuse?
If he refused, he would definitely be cut again. Then not only would he lose his refined blood, but he would also suffer a beating for nothing. Just looking at the current pitiful state of the Heart Demon Emperor was unbearable.
After thinking it through, it was still best to be obedient.
Lin Fan looked at the drops of refined blood floating in the void, somewhat stunned. When had the Blood Demon Emperor become so perceptive? Without Lin Fan even saying a word, he already knew what to do. One had to say that understanding the situation made one a hero indeed.
Counting them, there were exactly fifty-six drops.
It seemed the Blood Demon Emperor had really gone all out, not daring to hold anything back.
A year ago, the Blood Demon Emperor had been nearly drained of blood by Lin Fan. Though he had mostly recovered after a year, how strong could he really be?
Clearly, this time the Blood Demon Emperor had given his all, not daring to hold back anything.
Lin Fan floated in the void, his small hand patting the Blood Demon Emperor’s shoulder.
“Sigh, good… good, Xiao Xue. I knew I hadn’t misjudged you. In the future, I promise I will never summon you again. If anyone offends you in the future, just tell me, and I will summon them for you to take revenge.” Lin Fan felt he couldn’t be too domineering. Since the other party was so cooperative, if he kept pushing further, even he himself would feel ashamed.
“Big brother, thank you so much…” At this moment, the Blood Demon Emperor finally burst into tears.
It wasn’t tears of gratitude but tears of relief.
For the Blood Demon Emperor, that sentence—”I will never summon you again”—was enough to move him.
From now on, his life would finally be safe.
He could live happily in the Blood Realm.
Lin Fan flicked his sleeve, collecting all the refined blood.
“Oh, by the way, I want to ask you, how did the Heart Demon Emperor arrive here directly?” Lin Fan asked at this moment.
“Big brother, that’s impossible. The Blood Realm is completely separated from the outside world. Everything requires a sacrificial ritual to summon us. Although the Heart Demon Emperor is powerful, he couldn’t possibly break through this barrier,” the Blood Demon Emperor replied.
“Oh…” Lin Fan nodded. It seemed the Blood Demon Emperor didn’t know what was going on either.
“Oh, right, Big brother. Recently, the Blood Realm has indeed experienced some unusual conditions. It seems someone has connected with the source of the Blood Realm, but nothing abnormal has happened yet,” the Blood Demon Emperor suddenly recalled something and hurriedly added.
Connecting with the source of the Blood Realm?
That was indeed strange.
“Alright, you don’t need to worry about anything else. Take the Heart Demon Emperor away. From now on, you will be responsible for keeping an eye on him and make sure he doesn’t come out again,” Lin Fan said.
“Yes, Big brother, rest assured. With me here, there won’t be any problems,” the Blood Demon Emperor said, his heart filled with excitement.
Finally, he could leave this place.
For the Blood Demon Emperor, this place was just too dangerous.
The Blood Demon Emperor felt like he was now just a blood donor, coming out without doing anything and losing so much refined blood. It was truly a tragedy.
But being free from future torment was still a cause for celebration.
