Mazeus’s words did not shake Qian Ye. He seemed to have heard nothing, pulling the trigger with a finger as steady as a mountain.
The Longzang roared, and a force bullet shot out, aiming at the empty space beside Mazeus. Mazeus’s expression changed slightly, and his figure flickered, moving to an impossible position in an instant, appearing in front of the force bullet as if he had moved there himself.
However, the force bullet also changed at that moment. The black tendrils around the bullet expanded, transforming into a pair of black wings. As the wings flapped, the bullet changed direction, once again pointing at the empty space beside Mazeus.
“Primordial Wings!” Mazeus exclaimed in shock. His figure shattered like a bubble, revealing his true form right in front of the force bullet!
The black wings carried the force bullet, silently piercing into Mazeus’s abdomen. The silhouette of the Lord of No Light suddenly distorted strangely, fluctuating in size as if inside a soap bubble. His face also showed extreme pain, with a silent scream.
The intense distortion lasted for a moment before his figure shattered and disappeared, along with all the illusions.
Qian Ye did not think that one shot could annihilate the Lord of No Light. Clearly, Mazeus had escaped. The exact effect of the shot was still uncertain.
He rose from the top of the stone pillar where he was hiding, scanning the battlefield below, trying to find any traces of Mazeus.
“There’s no need to look, I’m here.” Mazeus’s voice sounded behind Qian Ye.
Qian Ye remained calm, slowly turning around. Three Mazeuses appeared before him. He observed carefully and had to admit that even at this distance, it was difficult to distinguish the three. Even in his force vision, they were identical. It seemed that this was the highest level of Mazeus’s domain, capable of creating two illusions that could deceive the Eye of Control, more effective than Qian Ye’s bloodline concealment.
Qian Ye said slowly, “Is the Lord of No Light truly before me?”
“Two fakes, one real. If they were all fakes, you wouldn’t be standing here now,” Mazeus said indifferently.
Qian Ye flipped his hand, storing the Longzang in Anduia’s space, then holding the orichalcum blood sword, “How was the taste of that shot?”
Seeing the Longzang disappear, Mazeus’s gaze changed slightly. When he saw the orichalcum blood sword, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes. He spoke slowly, “I can take that shot. You did well to utilize Anduia’s secret techniques to such an extent. Unfortunately, Anduia himself has fallen, and as his successor, you will share the same fate.”
Qian Ye’s orichalcum blood sword trembled slightly, “Everyone must die, and the Blood Clan is no exception. Since the outcome is the same, why not live with more dignity? Must we grovel at the feet of other races like dogs? Is that really so fun?”
Mazeus finally showed anger, frowning, “A mere whelp who cannot even see the Sacred Mountain, what do you know! The truth of this world can only be seen from the highest peak. Anduia became foolish because he was bewitched by that human wench. If things continued as he did, the entire Sacred Mountain would be doomed!”
“Anduia, whether as the Blackwing King or later as the Eternal Night Lord, stood higher than you. If he couldn’t see the truth of the world, do you think you can?” Qian Ye mocked mercilessly.
Unexpectedly, Mazeus did not get angry but spoke calmly, “I cannot see, but I know I cannot see, so I believe in those who can. For example, the Devil Emperor and the Queen.”
“You betrayed the Queen, yet you dare to say this?”
“Time will prove who the true traitor is. At least compared to Anduia, I am the one who considers the Blood Clan’s future more.”
Qian Ye gripped the orichalcum blood sword tightly, “If you truly considered the Blood Clan, you wouldn’t have slaughtered half your own kind, assassinated another great lord like Renault, or led the remaining Blood Clan to be dogs for the Demonic Race! Though I am only half-Blood, for Ye Ying and the Azure King, I will not let you live in this world! Lord of No Light, your dream of eternal life ends here!”
Mazeus sneered, pointing at the orichalcum blood sword, “With Howard’s little toy, you think you can kill me? That sword couldn’t harm me when Howard wielded it. Do you think you can be stronger than Howard?”
Qian Ye swung the orichalcum blood sword a few times, “I may not be as strong as the Dark Gospel yet, but don’t forget, you took a shot from me.”
“I said, I can take that shot! If the Primordial Wings were cast by Anduia, I might have fled immediately. But you, you don’t have the qualifications to make me run. Your blood energy is peculiar, but it’s not enough to threaten me.”
The Lord of No Light, as a second-generation progenitor of the Blood Clan, had a purple-black blood energy that, although not as powerful as Qian Ye’s dark gold blood energy, was of high rank and could temporarily suppress the dark gold blood energy attached to the force bullet.
“So, you were confident enough to take my shot and use it to draw me out?”
“You are very clever. I didn’t initially think it would be you. I thought some human whelp was hiding behind the natives, but I caught a big fish instead.”
Qian Ye sneered, “You didn’t expect to be hit by my shot, did you?”
Mazeus snorted coldly, “Ignorant and arrogant, even if you hit me, can you escape? Or perhaps you can try again, and bet on a one-in-three chance of finding my true form. But if you lose this time, you’ll lose your life.”
Qian Ye turned calm, “Do you think I didn’t know you were trying to draw me out? Besides, you definitely didn’t know that I only wanted to weaken you with that shot. Once weakened, you won’t be able to leave alive. Because what I intend to end you with is not the orichalcum blood sword, but Manjushaka.”
Seeing the legendary short gun in Qian Ye’s hand, Mazeus’s eyes widened, and his face finally showed fear. “How is that gun still in your possession! Why didn’t you use it against Palochia?!”
Black wings spread behind Qian Ye, and another pair of black wings unfurled on Manjushaka. As the trigger was pulled, the space around them instantly warped, and all the scenery rippled as if viewed through water waves.
All three of Mazeus’s figures began to fluctuate at the sound of the gunshot, and countless mirrors appeared, each figure encased within a mirror. As soon as they entered the mirrors, two of the figures burst like bubbles, leaving only the last, which was Mazeus’s true form.
A force bullet flew from Manjushaka, shattering the mirror.
