Barret and his two sons had discussed prior to this operation that whoever obtained the head of the Azure Wolf’s vice-captain would have priority in strengthening their own power.


    They aimed to reap the five wounded Golden Core experts, whom others had failed to kill, and nurture one of them into a Qi and Blood powerhouse on par with the Nascent Soul stage.


    Thus, after Aidyn had obtained the head of the Azure Wolf’s vice-captain, he quickly harvested the five other Golden Core experts from the Azure Wolf squad. Absorbing their Qi and Blood essence, Aidyn’s strength soared instantly!


    His body glowed with a majestic and pure blood-colored radiance, elevating his power from being on par with thete-stage Golden Core realm to equivalent to the early Nascent Soul stage.


    Of course, this so-called early Nascent Soul realm was still considered as a “pseudo Nascent Soul” stage. He was not truly a Nascent Soul expert, as he had not sessfully formed a Nascent Soul Dan Tian nor grasped the embryonic form of the Laws.


    However, regardless of that, his overall attribute levels such as attack power, strength, and defense were now on par with a Nascent Soul expert.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    A powerhouse of this level was considered top-tier within the Bloodline Ancient Domain, and only the four major forces possessed such formidable individuals. Now, the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association had produced one through the ughter.


    Feeling the immense power surging within him, Aidyn immediately felt confident and invincible. He locked his gaze onto L, who was evenly matched against the Azure Wolf captain.


    Barret and Obadiah also focused their attention on the situation over there, but the three of them did not rush to take action. Instead, they chose to help the members of the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association deal with the other Azure Wolf team members while observing the situation.


    “Ah! Die!”


    “I won’t y with you anymore!”


    At this moment, apanied by a furious roar, the dog-leg knife in Azure Wolf’s hand erupted with a dazzling blood-red light as it shot towards L.


    The leader of the Azure Wolf squad, upon witnessing the death of his vice-captain, immediately chose to fight desperately against L, rapidly deciding their life and death. This strike was his ultimate move, which he possessed even before acquiring his current Qi and Blood strength. It was a hidden trump card of the Azure Wolf.


    By infusing powerful Qi and Blood essence into the dog-leg knife, its attacking power became even more ferocious. The knife seemed as though it couldn’t withstand the force and might shatter at any moment.


    In the next instant, the dog-leg knife traced a tricky and elusive arc, making it impossible for L to defend against the strike targeting his neck.


    L narrowed his eyes, his spiritual power focused on the knife’s unpredictable movement. In reality, he was confident that he could dodge or block the attack with a twelve-point certainty. However, in the blink of an eye, he only slightly shifted his body, avoiding a strike aimed at a vulnerable spot in his neck.


    Spurt!


    Apanied by the sound of a de piercing flesh, the dog-leg knife, carrying immense power, viciously shed into L’s shoulder, leaving behind a bloody gash.


    Actually, with L’s current physical strengthbined with the bolstering effect of the Power of the Earth’s Depths, even if Azure Wolfunched a full force attack, it might not necessarily break through his physical defense. However, L deliberately dispelled the Power of the Earth’s Depths, allowing himself to be injured by the attack. After the de pierced his flesh, he clenched the de with his muscles, preventing it from sinking deeper!


    At this point, L appeared badly injured, with his left arm dangling.


    In truth, his injuries were far from threatening hisbat ability. The reason L acted this way was that he had already grown suspicious of Barret and his two sons in his heart.


    L’s perception had indeed been suppressed, but he still had aprehensive understanding of what was happening within a dozen meters.


    Barret and Obadiah, the father and son, observed the “stalemate” in their battle against Azure Wolf after killing his vice-captain. Instead ofing to L’s aid, they chose to wait and see, which was highly suspicious!


    Furthermore, L had long felt that the blood alliance had many loopholes. His nature was cold and indifferent, and he didn’t easily trust others. At this moment, his suspicions were amplified.


    He decided to use himself as bait and try to expose Barret and his sons’ true intention.


    At this moment, as Azure Wolf saw the attack on himself, a wicked smile formed on his face. He howled and nned to rush over to kill L while the iron was hot. He didn’t immediately choose to escape because he wanted to kill L and increase his own strength, hoping to turn the tide.


    However, he didn’t understand the existence he was facing at all.


    L injured? That was his own doing, pretending to be injured!


    “Die!”


    Azure Wolf’s face contorted, and as his weapon fell from his hand, his hands turned into his most powerful weapons.


    Once a powerful mercenary, his unarmedbat skills were equally formidable.


    His fist surged with blood-red life energy as it mmed towards L’s head. L snorted coldly and swung his metallic staff with force. The attack seemed unorthodox, even appearing misshapen due to his injured shoulder in the eyes of others. However, Azure Wolf, who was at the forefront, saw his pupils shrink in an instant. He felt that even with his agile body and superiorbat evasion skills, he couldn’t avoid this strike.


    “No!”


    Boom!


    In the blink of an eye, apanied by a muffled sound, L’s staff, swung seemingly casually, ruthlessly mmed into Azure Wolf’s chest. A cry of shock and agony rang out as the person was sent flying, spitting out blood. The sound of fractured ribs could be heard, indicating a severe injury caused by L’s strike.


    Swish! Swish!


    At that moment, two figures flickered, swiftly approaching the falling Azure Wolf. It was none other than Barret and Obadiah, who had been observing the situation and chose to intervene after seeing L injured and Azure Wolf severely wounded. Their timing couldn’t have been more “opportune” because it was now the perfect moment to im the spoils.


    L quietly sneered at this scene. When he was engaged in a fierce battle with Azure Wolf, they chose to stand by and watch. But as soon as he inflicted a serious injury on the opponent, they were the quickest to react!


    With a sttering sound, Barret’s longsword mercilessly pierced through Azure Wolf’s throat, taking his life under the weight of his severe injury. In the next moment, Azure Wolf’s body rapidly shriveled, his life energy being swiftly drained by the “Unclean Power” and assimted into Barret’s body. The opponent’s life energy, which was originally at thete stage of Golden Core, instantly soared to the peak of thete stage of Golden Core.
