Chapter 179: Black Blood Overlord

Just as Hu Feng was preparing to launch a secret attack, two tall figures appeared on a distant hill.

“Hei Mu, how many years has it been since you and I last met?”

A burly man nearly three meters tall, resembling an iron tower, grinned widely as he asked his companion. If Hu Feng had been there, he would have realized that the man standing beside him was indeed Hei Mu. He was power ful and confident, with a touch of his usual indifference on his face. The wild bull emblem on his black robe looked lifelike; from a low angle, it seemed as if it were about to leap up and pierce a hole in the sky.

“Eight hundred years, Black Blood. We haven’t seen each other for nearly eight hundred years.”

Hei Mu smiled and continued, “Black Blood, how have you been spending these eight hundred years at the Daqingshan Graveyard?”

“It wasn’t good!”

The iron tower-like Black Blood remained silent for a moment before continuing, “I saw some people I wanted to see, and some I didn’t. My mood was always bad. That bird place didn’t even have a single cup of wine. It’s been a full eight hundred years; I was suffocating!”

“Haha, you guy, you’re still the same. You feel uncomfortable without a day of drinking. Here, take this!” Hei Mu laughed and threw a jar of wine from his Demon Hunter Card to the iron tower giant beside him. The latter caught it in one hand and began to gulp it down. With the alcohol boosting his strength, his tall physique looked even more rugged, radiating a wild, oppressive aura that screamed, “I am the only one.” A wild bull emblem was also embroidered on his black robe, exuding a majestic aura.

Black Blood Overlord!

Top-tier Demon Hunters who often wandered the Dallas Continent could identify the iron tower giant’s status at a glance.

Unlike the low-key and restrained Hei Mu, Black Blood, the main force of the Black Horn Team, was famous. Back in the day, when he had just entered the Sword Saint realm, he alone destroyed the Moon Demon City, which was allied with the Demon race. Relying on his immense power, he cut off the head of the Moon Demon City’s City Lord, who was at the Demi-god Realm, and brought it back to Black Horn to hang on the city gate.

“Hahaha, Brother Hei Mu, you haven’t changed a bit either!”

Black Blood laughed heartily, looking at his good brother who seemed to have not changed at all over the centuries. “By the way, Brother Hei Mu, has it been so many years, and you still refuse to return to the Demi-god Realm? Or… have you not forgotten what happened back then?”

“The Demi-god Realm is nothing but a fake stage in Cultivation. Even reaching the Demi-god Peak holds no real meaning. Back then, if I hadn’t been too impatient and had broken through directly to the Divine Domain, Avra wouldn’t have died or fallen into the Abyss from which no light ever reaches!”

Silence!

Seeing the guilt and pain on Hei Mu’s face, Black Blood said nothing and slapped his shoulder firmly. “Let’s not talk about that. Hei Mu, can you see that Ghost Dragon in the distance? Let’s see who can kill it first. Let your brother see exactly how far your Cultivation has come over these years!”

“No, Black Blood. Do you see that little guy hiding near the Ghost Dragon? Watch how he acts!”

Hei Mu quickly calmed down, looking at Hu Feng’s figure, a smile appeared on his face. “This little guy is the Hu Feng I told you about. Take a good look and see if he really qualifies to join our Black Horn Team!”

Hu Feng stayed motionless in the darkness, carefully watching every move of the Ghost Dragon. He was completely unaware of the arrival of Hei Mu and Black Blood.

“Oh, is it this little guy who pretended to be one of our Black Horn members, destroyed Graham City, and almost made a Demi-god Stronger under Prince Arthas die in the Wasteland?”

The iron tower-like Black Blood laughed. Hu Feng, hiding in the darkness, had deceived the nearby Ghost Dragon but could not deceive him and Hei Mu, both elites of the Black Horn Team. “I really didn’t expect this little guy to be so bold. He dared to ambush a Demi-god Stronger when he only had the strength of a Swordsman. He’s fiercer than I was back then. Cunning, despicable, and bold. Black Water, hmm, I like that name!”

“Black Blood, hold back a bit. Don’t think everyone’s body is as mutated as yours!”

Seeing Black Blood getting more and more excited beside him, Hei Mu shook his head. As brothers for many years, he knew what this guy was thinking without asking. He secretly prayed for Hu Feng, hoping he wouldn’t vomit too much blood in the upcoming fight. The members of the Black Horn Team rarely walked around the Wasteland, but they were well-informed. After understanding the situation, Hei Mu quickly realized that the so-called Black Water was actually Hu Feng.

The Black Horn Team was never short of violent maniacs, and especially the one known as the Overlord, Black Blood, was a thug among thugs. Almost every new member had to be beaten up by him upon joining, under the guise of “testing each other.” Once, a genius Magician had to lie in bed for three whole days after receiving a heavy punch from him on his first day. From then on, people would go out of their way to avoid seeing this violent maniac.

“Don’t worry, I won’t make him vomit blood. At most, I’ll just break a few of his ribs. Let him understand what real power is, so he doesn’t die foolishly in someone else’s hands in the future!”

Black Blood laughed loudly, his power rising steadily within his body, his bones creaking. Yet, not a shred of power leaked out. He kept his essence contained, standing invisibly under the dense bushes, quietly watching the commotion in the distance.

Hu Feng had stored away the Tree Demon and focused intently on the Ghost Dragon nearby, feeling a strong sense of danger. However, for a moment, he thought the danger came from the massive Ghost Dragon in front of him. To avoid startling this behemoth, his huge Divine Sense swept hurriedly around the area, failing to detect the two figures cloaking their presence in the distance.

Perhaps out of anger, or perhaps ready to enjoy the prey’s struggles before death, the Ghost Dragon did not kill the helpless Demon Hunter immediately. Instead, it slowly approached. “Gaga, worthless human, run! Why aren’t you running? Wasn’t your Great Freeze Technique very powerful? Use it again. Do it!”

“You, you…”

Seeing the Ghost Dragon getting closer, the Demon Hunter Nick, whose right leg was only half left, had nowhere to escape. His Soul Scatters and Spirit Dissipates, and he kept retreating. Soon, his back hit a hard rock, leaving him with no way to retreat further. Thinking of being slowly torn into pieces by the Ghost Dragon, he gritted his teeth and firmly drew a sharp dagger, stabbing it deeply into his own chest.

The entire team had been wiped out. Facing a ferocious and terrifying Ghost Dragon, Nick knew he could not survive either. Since death was inevitable, it was better to do it himself and die quickly!

Ding…

Nick was determined and fast, but before the sharp dagger could pierce his chest, the Ghost Dragon’s giant paw came swiping. One slap sent the dagger flying far away.

“Gaga, worthless human, am I really that terrifying?”

Seeing Nick who couldn’t even die, the Ghost Dragon laughed loudly. After turning into a Ghost, most of his memories from his life had already faded, but the Dragon Clan’s ferocity and cruelty had only increased. The longer he wandered in the dark Dragon’s Grave, the more brutal he became, turning into a cold-blooded killing machine.

“Ahh, I’ll fight you to the death!”

Nick’s eyes turned red, unable to even commit suicide as he wanted. He threw himself at the Ghost Dragon in a desperate move. Suddenly, a bone-chilling cold air appeared in the air, and a layer of ice shards formed on the ground as he tried his best Great Freeze Technique again. However, before he could freeze the Ghost Dragon in front of him, a giant sharp claw appeared. ‘Thud,’ a piece of his left leg was torn off alive, bringing a piercing pain.

“Gaga, worthless human, you want to die? It’s not that easy. I will tear you apart bit by bit and devour your Soul!”

The Ghost Dragon laughed loudly again and slapped with a paw, preparing to tear off Nick’s left hand. In his excitement, he was completely unaware that he was facing directly towards Hu Feng, who was hiding in the darkness.

Now!

Hu Feng, who had been waiting for the right opportunity, suddenly attacked. With a blur of afterimages, he appeared on the back of the Ghost Dragon with a ‘whoosh.’ The sharp Death Oak pierced through its forehead, and he twisted it hard.

“Ahhh…”

The unprepared Ghost Dragon screamed in pain, twisting its body frantically. Unfortunately, no matter how it twisted, it couldn’t shake off Hu Feng, who was firmly riding on its back like a magnet. Just as it was about to cast a powerful spell, pain hit its body as Hu Feng stabbed it fiercely again. Its consciousness faded, and a large amount of Soul power leaked out. Before falling to the ground, it saw a massive Demon God Phantom with four faces and eight arms slowly rising from Hu Feng’s back in its peripheral vision.

Boom…

As Hu Feng used the Great Devour Technique to devour the Ghost Dragon, a surge of vast Death Energy rushed into his body, transforming into pure Prime Force. This breakthrough shattered his shackles, pushing him to the Sixth Step of the Saint Domain. The Death Oak in his hand jumped vigorously, emitting a thick aura of fate, as if it also sensed the changes within him.

“Lord, thank you!”

Seeing Hu Feng suddenly appear, Nick, who had thought he was definitely going to die, was extremely excited.

“You are too severely injured. Let me take you to a place to rest!”

Looking at the heavily injured Nick, Hu Feng shook his head and waved his hand, storing him in the Monastery of the Prime Realm. There, the Nuns would naturally help him stop the bleeding and bandage his wounds. Having lost both legs, Nick obviously couldn’t survive alone in the dangerous Dragon’s Grave, and Hu Feng couldn’t carry him out himself. The only way was to store him in the Prime Realm.

The Dragon’s Grave was dangerous everywhere, even more so than the Wasteland outside. The smell of blood would soon attract Great Demon Heads wandering outside. After storing Nick, Hu Feng quickly left, just about to summon the Tree Demon to use as a mount. Suddenly, his hairs stood on end, sensing a unprecedented danger. Turning around, he saw a tall figure had appeared on the distant hill without him noticing. Under the cover of night, it gave people a heavy and oppressive feeling like an iron tower.

Whoosh…

Without any nonsense, Black Blood, who had deliberately revealed himself, suddenly struck. Moving swiftly, he appeared in front of Hu Feng after a few leaps. His face was fierce, and his black muscles bulked up one by one, shining with a dark glow like black iron. He didn’t look like a person but rather like a violent, enraged bear!

Roar…

Before even getting close, the iron tower-like Black Blood lifted a massive rock weighing tens of thousands of pounds and smashed it down hard. His momentum was overwhelming, and his strength was astonishing, like an unstoppable Overlord!
