Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 535 - 530: First Encounter with the Blood Witch Stone
Ye Feng trudged through the desert on foot. He was in no hurry. The Outer Battlefield was vast, and without a map to understand it, he was like a headless fly—only able to proceed slowly. Maybe he would make some other discoveries.
Although there was no sun in the Outer Battlefield, the temperature on this boundless desert was still extremely high, exceeding fifty degrees. The air itself was scorching, making it impossible to stay here without the strength of a Martial King or above.
What Ye Feng found strange was that the entire desert seemed to lack any living creatures or vegetation; it was a desolate place with not a single blade of grass.
"It doesn't make sense. How could there be a place like this in the Outer Battlefield? As an ancient battlefield, there should be some remains or skeletons at least. Why is there nothing at all?"
Just as Ye Feng was pondering this, he felt the remnants of a battle ahead with his spiritual power.
Ye Feng quickly found a concealed spot and began to observe.
He saw two groups fiercely battling on the desert ahead. Red blood light and purple dark light constantly clashed, and powerful shockwaves continuously swept across the desert sand, which billowed into the air.
Ye Feng's gaze sharpened as he thought to himself, "Are those Western Vampires and the Shaman Wizards from the Snow Wolf Country?"
Ye Feng was judging the identities of the two parties. He had dealt with these two forces many times on Earth, so he could recognize them instantly.
However, his attention was quickly drawn to the desert below these people. The grains of sand, disturbed by the battle, had revealed some skeletons.
Ye Feng paused and muttered to himself, "I wondered why I hadn't seen any skeletons. It turns out they're all buried under these grains of sand."
But soon, Ye Feng noticed something unusual. Beneath those skeletons, a faint, gloomy red light was radiating, and a dark red stone the size of a chicken egg lay amongst many skeletons.
A Western Vampire King Duke bellowed, "Damn Wizard Alliance, this Blood Witch Stone was first discovered by our Vampire Divine Court. Do you really intend to rob us of it by force?"
Two more Vampire King Dukes were flanking him, their black wings fluttering behind them as they stood aloft in the air, warily watching the Shaman Wizards in purple robes in front of them.
"How is it that you claim to have found it first again? Have you bats no shame? It was clearly our Wizard Alliance that discovered it first. We just left to find more people and you came afterwards. Now you want to steal it with such a lousy excuse?"
A Shaman Wizard scoffed dismissively, flanked by two others as well.
Listening in the shadows, Ye Feng was moved and looked at the dark red stone. So that was the Blood Witch Stone. No wonder he could feel a taint of wild energy from afar.
Honestly, Ye Feng was also very interested in the Blood Witch Stone. He had heard Zhuge Wuming mention that it could greatly amplify a Western Vampire's strength and also boost the Shaman Wizards from Snow Wolf Country and the Onmyoji from Fusang. He was very curious whether he could absorb the power that could taint Qi Force and Spirit Essence found in the Blood Witch Stone.
Other Cultivators or Martial Artists might not be able to, but he had the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll!

Perhaps using the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll, he could absorb the Blood Witch Stone too!
A glint of interest flashed in Ye Feng's eyes. He was already contemplating the Blood Witch Stone. The three Western Vampires and three Shaman Wizards from Snow Wolf Country before him all had the strength of the Divine Path Realm Fourth and Fifth Realms. If he killed all these people, the Blood Witch Stone would be his.
If it were before he entered the Outer Battlefield, he might have found it a bit troublesome to deal with so many people of the Divine Path Realm Fourth and Fifth Realms alone, and it would have taken some time. But now, having unblocked over two thousand five hundred acupoints, he reckoned that the Emperor's Sky-Flipping Seal alone could do the job.
However, Ye Feng was in no hurry and continued to listen closely to the conversation between the two parties. He still had a lot to learn about the Outer Battlefield and hoped to pick up any useful information from their discourse.
Having their facade exposed, the Vampire King Duke no longer pretended, tearing off the pretense and said, "So what? Today, this Blood Witch Stone will belong to our Vampire Divine Court!"
The other two Vampire King Dukes also revealed a gleeful expression, their red pupils flickered with blood light. The Blood Witch Stone was a huge temptation for Vampires. Each stone was a highly desired tonic and they could not possibly miss out on it.
The three Shaman Wizards' expressions changed slightly, their strength was actually weaker than that of the three Vampire King Dukes. If they were to really engage in a fight, the three of them might not stand a chance.
The leading Shaman Wizard clenched his teeth and said coldly, "We are under the command of the Grand Shaman of Inner Fang. This Blood Witch Stone was meant to be offered to the Grand Shaman of Inner Fang. If we report this matter and the Grand Shaman of Inner Fang..."
The faces of the three Vampire King Dukes changed this time. Naturally, they were aware of who the Grand Shaman of Inner Fang was—a top-level existence in the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country!
The three Vampire King Dukes exchanged glances, seemingly making a decision.
The next moment, three thunderous shouts rang out.
"Blood Prohibition, release!"
The three Vampire Counts shouted in unison as three red beams of light descended from the sky, enveloping them all. The rich Blood Qi burst forth, and their own presence instantly soared, even their black wings doubling in size.
This was the Art of the Blood Prohibition of the Vampires!
The three Shaman Wizards' faces changed dramatically at the sight.
"Let's fight them to the death!"
"Power of the River God, Heavenly Water Wild Python!"
The leading Shaman Wizard raised his magic wand and muttered a curse incantation. Above his head, a huge blue stream of water formed, like a sky-reaching waterfall, and then the stream condensed into a lifelike giant python that charged forward!
"Spirit of the Forest, Giant Power Divine Vine!"
Another Shaman Wizard's body was filled with green light. Waving the magic wand and chanting, a massive vine pierced through the air, stabbing towards Yiming, Vampire King Duke.
"Spirit of the Earth, Earth's Mighty Warrior!"
The last Shaman Wizard chanted, and the desert beneath his feet suddenly shook—a three-meter-tall, earthy-colored giant emerged from the desert.
The earthy-colored giant charged forward as well, making the desert seem as though it were struck by an earthquake, heading straight for the three Vampire King Dukes.
Ye Feng, who was observing in secret, couldn't help but mockingly think to himself, "Such bold names they pick."
However, he could actually understand, since Shaman Wizards of the Snow Wolf Country also cast magic techniques by chanting spells, Onmyoji from Fusang relied on the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and these Shaman Wizards drew upon the forces of nature. In essence, their strengths were similar; it was just their forms of expression that differed.
The three Vampire King Dukes, who had activated Blood Prohibition, didn't care at all about the attacks from the Shaman Wizards. They were already at a higher realm than the three Shaman Wizards, not to mention that they had activated Blood Prohibition, further enhancing their strength.
"Blood Shield, activate!"
A blood-colored protective shield appeared around the three Vampire King Dukes, who faced the Shaman Wizards' attacks head-on, protected by their shields.
Indeed, having activated the Art of Blood Prohibition, neither the Heavenly Water Wild Python nor the Giant Power Divine Vine, nor the Earth's Mighty Warrior could break through the Vampire King Dukes' protective shields; they were shattered by the Vampire King Dukes' direct charge.
The three Shaman Wizards were shocked.
"Run!"
If they couldn't even break the enemies' shields, what was the point of fighting? It was crucial to flee for their lives!
The three Shaman Wizards no longer considered the Blood Witch Stone, simply trying to escape immediately.
"We can't let them get away, or the Grand Shaman of Inner Fang will know, and then we'll be in trouble," said one of the Vampire King Dukes gravely, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness. They didn't care about the three Shaman Wizards, but the Grand Shaman of Inner Fang was definitely not an entity they could contend with.
The other two Vampire King Dukes nodded. Their bodies glowed red, their black wings flapped violently, and they flew towards the three Shaman Wizards at an astonishing speed.
Soon enough, the three Shaman Wizards were intercepted, unable to leave. Their faces looked awful as they were forced into a desperate struggle with the three Vampire King Dukes.
Ye Feng, watching secretly, immediately felt bored. He had thought he might overhear some useful news from these people, but other than learning about someone called the Grand Shaman of Inner Fang, he got nothing valuable.
A Great Sorcerer—he knew what that was. It was simply a cultivator of the Golden Core Realm, but among the Shaman Wizards of the Snow Wolf Country, he was called a Great Sorcerer.
Ye Feng no longer hid and leaped into the sight of the others.
The sudden appearance of an outsider startled the three Vampire King Dukes and the three Shaman Wizards, who all looked at Ye Feng, frowning simultaneously. The leading Vampire King Duke frowned and said, "A person from Xuanyuan Hall?"
In the Outer Battlefield, seeing someone from Xuanyuan Nation basically meant seeing someone from Xuanyuan Hall.
Another Shaman Wizard, seeing Ye Feng's arrival, quickly had an idea and hurriedly said, "Friend from Xuanyuan Hall, could you lend us your aid in capturing these three foul bats? We can reward you with Spirit Stones."
He was well aware that it was hardly possible for the three of them to defeat the three Vampire King Dukes. The arrival of Ye Feng had become their salvation. If they could win Ye Feng over, they could completely change the situation.
The three Vampire King Dukes also changed their expression. The leader spoke harshly, "People of Xuanyuan Hall, our Vampire Divine Court and Xuanyuan Hall are mortal enemies. Do you think that by helping these witches they will spare you?"
Ye Feng looked at them coldly and said, as the Vampire King Duke had mentioned, even if he helped these Shaman Wizards, he would end up being attacked by them anyway. They were archenemies, so there was no point in helping.
Ye Feng smiled faintly and said, "Let's not talk about cooperation. As for the Blood Witch Stone, I'm actually quite interested as well. How about you hand over the Blood Witch Stone to me, and then you won't have to fight over it?"
