Divine-level Base

Chapter 332 - 331: Suppressing the 3 Great Marquises

Inside Lord Black Swamp’s Mansion, in a luxurious banquet hall, the three Marquises—Marquis Hilardo, Marquis Xivin, and Marquis Laida—sat at the head of a long, rectangular table. Seated on either side of the table were thirty Void Demon Counts under their command.

The long table was laden with all sorts of delicacies and top-level Demon Wine.

On a stage in the banquet hall, a beautiful young woman from the Nightingale Race with a slender figure and a pair of yellow wings on her back was singing, her exquisite voice echoing throughout the area.

After three rounds of drinks, Viscount Jiahuo approached Marquis Hilardo, respectfully presenting a blue Crystal Bottle of wine. "Lord Marquis Hilardo, this is a wine I have found, Ten Thousand Fragrance Fruit Wine. Its flavor is sublime! I have brought it specially for all of you lords to enjoy."

Marquis Hilardo said with a cold expression, "Just leave it there."

"Yes, my lord!"

A flash of disappointment crossed Viscount Jiahuo’s eyes. He respectfully handed the bottle of Ten Thousand Fragrance Fruit Wine to a nearby attendant, then dutifully retreated.

A cold glint flashed in the attendant’s eyes as he threw the bottle of Ten Thousand Fragrance Fruit Wine directly to the ground.

CRASH!

The Ten Thousand Fragrance Fruit Wine shattered to pieces, and a strange, mysterious fragrance instantly filled the area.

"This is bad! An assassin!"

A dreadful premonition welled up in Marquis Hilardo’s heart. He frantically tried to channel his Power of Void Demon, only to find in horror that it was completely gone—he couldn’t muster even a shred of power. He roared out his warning.

"Damn it!! It’s a trap!!"

The faces of Marquis Xivin and Marquis Laida, the other two Void Demon Marquises, turned pale as they collapsed limply to the ground.

"Poison!! We’ve been poisoned!"

"Dammit, who poisoned us?"

"Who was it? Who poisoned us?"

...

The faces of the thirty Void Demon Counts changed drastically. Their bodies were paralyzed, and they found it difficult to gather their power.

’That was easy. Poisoning them was the right choice after all!’

A faint ripple shimmered, and Shu Feng appeared beside Marquis Hilardo. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly as he viciously swung his sword at the marquis’s arms.

Shu Feng had to ensure that anyone entering his Base Space was on the verge of death from severe injuries. Otherwise, if someone entered his foundational domain and seized control of the Base Space, all his tears would be for naught.

A vicious gleam flashed in Marquis Hilardo’s eyes. A terrifying Power of Void Demon erupted from his body. His claw, shrouded in a dreadful black light that formed the phantom of a black skull, shot out viciously toward Shu Feng.

"You’re not poisoned?"

Shu Feng’s expression changed abruptly. He executed the Prison Void Demon Step, and his body twisted strangely in a sudden movement, just barely managing to evade Marquis Hilardo’s terrifying claw strike.

"I was poisoned! But I neutralized it!! Shu Feng, you have some nerve, daring to come here to poison and kill me! Now you’ll atone with your life!"

A vicious light flashed in Marquis Hilardo’s eyes. He frantically channeled his Power of Void Demon, his muscles bulging as Ghost Horns extended from his forehead. He transformed into a three-meter-tall monster, its entire body encased in terrifying black muscle armor.

The moment the transformation was complete, Marquis Hilardo flickered, leaving a residual shadow as he lunged at Shu Feng.

"Prison Void Demon Step!"

Shu Feng executed the Prison Void Demon Step, creating a series of residual shadows as he retreated explosively.

"A very good Step Technique! A pity there’s no such thing as an invincible technique, only invincible people!! Your strength is too weak!!"

Marquis Hilardo’s figure flickered several times in succession, and in an instant, he appeared before Shu Feng, blasting a claw strike directly at his abdomen.

Shu Feng frantically activated his Undying Demon Body. The phantom of a terrifyingly massive demon appeared, and his body was instantly interwoven with countless mysterious Demon Patterns, causing his Defense Power to skyrocket.

CLANG!

Marquis Hilardo’s claw slammed into Shu Feng’s abdomen with a tremendous clang of metal on metal, as if it had struck a block of steel. With a vicious tear, he ripped away a chunk of flesh from Shu Feng’s stomach.

’So tough!!’

Marquis Hilardo frowned slightly. His original plan had been to pierce through Shu Feng’s abdomen with one claw, completely crush his resistance, and then suppress him.

BANG!!

A beam of Starlight shot out from the side, heading directly for Marquis Hilardo.

"Damn it!"

A flash of anger crossed Marquis Hilardo’s eyes. He casually blasted out a claw projection and tilted his body slightly, dodging the beam of Starlight.

The beam of Starlight slammed into the nearby ground, blasting a terrifyingly large hole in it.

The black claw projection, meanwhile, struck Shu Feng, tearing a horrific gash across his body. A large spray of blood splattered onto the ground.

Marquis Hilardo’s massive body was incredibly agile. He twisted in mid-air and lunged toward Shu Feng like a bolt of lightning.

"Mi’Er! Come out! Help me take him out!"

Shu Feng beckoned with his hand, and a faint ripple shimmered in the void.

"Die!"

Su Mi appeared from the void. She glanced at Marquis Hilardo, a trace of contempt flashing in her beautiful eyes. She gave a charming smile and pointed a finger.

Countless blood-red threads materialized from the void, transforming into innumerable needles of blood that struck Marquis Hilardo like lightning.

In an instant, Marquis Hilardo was pierced by the countless blood threads. A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes as he let out a bloodcurdling scream. All the Essence Blood in his body was drained in a moment, and he fell to the ground as a desiccated corpse.

An ecstatic glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’So strong!! Mi’Er’s power is just too much! The Blood Dominator indeed!’

Su Mi’s ability to kill Marquis Hilardo meant that her strength had reached the Half-Saint Realm. If word of this got out, and if she joined the Yuanhai Shu Family, it would mean the Yuanhai Shu Family had the potential to become a Clan.

With a Half-Saint Level expert as a guardian, a sufficiently vast territory, and enough great achievements, a Noble Family that met these three conditions could be promoted to a Clan, becoming one of the true rulers of the Qianyuan Republic and possessing countless privileges within it.

Shu Feng glanced at the two Marquises, Xivin and Laida, and said, "Mi’Er, probe them. See if those two are actually poisoned or not."

"No need to probe! Big Brother, they’re both poisoned. They won’t be able to move for a while. I’ll seal their blood and put them into a state of suspended animation. It’ll be safer that way!"

Su Mi smiled faintly and pointed her jade-like finger. Threads of blood appeared and pierced into the bodies of Marquis Xivin, Marquis Laida, and the thirty Void Demon Counts present.
