Chapter 1014 Dragon Clan 9 Sword Saints
"This is...!?" Bai Xueling exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Ge's expression gradually turned serious.
Inside the metal can was the corpse of a huge monster.
The monster's corpse, soaked in preservative solution, revealed horrifying features—its scaly chest cavity had been transformed into a transparent observation window, dozens of tubes pierced through its festering skin and plunged into its heart, and dark golden energy was being channeled through glowing veins to a cluster device at the top.
The catheters extract some kind of energy from them and then automatically connect to the instruments next to them.
“As expected…” Night Song said, “This is the factory that produces Dark Blood.”
Dark Blood is created from the blood and energy extracted from dark races.
However, Yege never expected that there would be a factory producing Dark Blood within the human empire, especially underground in the capital city!
"How is this possible?" the Spirit of Calamity said. "As the capital of the Great Qin, Kyoto should be the most strictly managed place in the human territory. After Empress Longying ascended the throne, the Empress and Lord Yege, you have thoroughly investigated all the officials and ministers in the court, including the four dukes and several generals..."
"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible for any rebel force to build a factory here silently... and transport these monster corpses and dark blood in and out. How could this be..."
“It’s darkest under the lamp,” Ye Ge said coldly. “Moreover, even if Long Ying has investigated all the ministers in the court after taking office, it cannot be guaranteed that corruption had already occurred before she took office.”
Bai Xueling said, "Are you saying that this underground factory was most likely built before Long Ying came to power?"
Night Song: "I think that's how it should be."
It seems that the source of this Dark Blood contamination is here...
The spirit of calamity then sniffed: "My lord, can you smell anything?"
Ye Ge sniffed the air: "What's that smell?"
The Spirit of Calamity: "The smell of the dead."
Ye Ge's eyes flickered.
He looked at a door not far away.
There was blood clearly visible on the ground flowing from that doorway.
Yege carried the Shadow Moon Straight Sword and walked slowly over. He raised his hand and placed it on the door to sense it for a while before gently pushing the door open.
A corpse was dumped out of the house!
Ye Ge immediately sidestepped and dodged to a distance of more than ten meters.
After losing its balance, the corpse fell to the ground with a thud, and blood flowed into a pool beneath it.
Ye Ge observed from a distance for a while, and only after confirming that there were no traps on the corpse did he walk over and turn the corpse over with a straight knife.
It was a completely unfamiliar face, but...
This guy is actually wearing the uniform of a Night Clan warrior!
Bai Xueling frowned: "Is this person from the Ye family?"
“No, no.” Ye Ge’s eyes flashed with data streams as he scanned the information on the Ye family’s attribute panel with the system: “This person is an unregistered resident in the Empire, not a member of the Ye family.”
Bai Xueling was confused: "Not a member of the Ye family? Then why is he wearing Ye family clothes?"
The Spirit of Calamity: "My lord, there are more in the room!"
Ye Ge looked into the room.
Inside the house, at least a dozen gruesome corpses lay scattered about!
Everyone was wearing the standard uniform of the Night Family warriors.
Moreover, it appears that these people were recently killed, as their wounds and bloodstains are all fresh.
The floor, walls, and surrounding equipment were all stained red with blood, and the signs of battle were clearly visible.
On the wall of this factory, there is a very conspicuous mark - that is the family crest of the Night Family, a demonized human family!
Bai Xueling was increasingly confused: "Why is there the Ye family crest here?"
Ye Ge remained silent for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and sneered, "It seems we've fallen into a trap."
Bai Xueling was bewildered: "Huh???"
"Bam—!"
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!"
Suddenly, the ceiling tiles exploded!
The entire ceiling suddenly collapsed!
The lights in the underground factory suddenly went out.
Ye Ge glanced up and saw countless pebbles raining down; he immediately dodged them.
Nine figures appeared amidst the swirling dust!
Several flashes of swords and blades came hurtling towards them!
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Qiang!"
In the blink of an eye, the sound of clashing metal echoed through the dim, dark space, sparks flying everywhere! In just half a second, Night Song parried more than a dozen simultaneous attacks! These attacks were so fast that they were almost invisible to the naked eye!
A massive, heavy, azure-scaled greatsword cleaved through the dust and slashed down!
Seeing this, Ye Ge raised his Shadow Moon Straight Blade horizontally and blocked the attack head-on with a "clang".
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."
The powerful force made his wrist ache instantly!
Ye Ge leaned back to avoid the sweeping sword energy, but then saw eight other cold lights suddenly appear from the dust and mist—eight weapons of different shapes tore through the smoke, their blades flashing like venomous snakes spitting their tongues, their sword shadows falling like cold stars, sealing off all escape routes.
And the figure wielding the giant sword gradually revealed its true form.
He was an Eastern dragon swordsman with a pair of dragon horns on his head, wearing blue armor, long brown hair, two very long mustaches, and sharp and majestic eyes!
"Sword Technique - Mountain-Shattering Slash!"
The swordsman from the Eastern Dragon Clan slashed down again, his bulging muscles unleashing a brute force like that of an ancient ferocious beast!
“Boom, boom!!!!”
The immense power of the sword strike was like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting!
"Clang—!"
The sharp sound of metal tearing apart exploded in the underground space. The Azure Scale Greatsword, carrying the force of a thousand pounds, cleaved through the putrid air. Before the blade even arrived, the surging gale had already made Ye Ge's cheeks sting.
The soles of his shoes scraped against the corrosive ground with a teeth-grinding sound. As he rolled to the side, the greatsword grazed his ear and slashed into the concrete, spiderweb-like cracks accompanied by flying debris, raising a cloud of dust in the glowing green liquid tank.
“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”
The floor tiles beneath Ye Ge's feet all cracked, and the bricks and stones flew up and floated in the air!
Sword Technique - Heavenly Rift Stream
Night Song appeared frighteningly calm, and with a flick of her wrist, she gripped the straight knife.
His figure moved suddenly, his body and the Shadow Moon Straight Blade in his hand becoming one, transforming into a black streak of light that pierced the sky. Its speed was so fast that it could not be captured by the naked eye, leaving a dazzling sword energy trajectory in the air!
The blade grazed the sparks flying from the greatsword and sliced upwards, severing the dragon swordsman's flowing sideburns in his astonished gaze!
The Eastern Dragon Clan swordsman in blue armor stared wide-eyed, seemingly not expecting Ye Ge to take his attack head-on.
"Ding!!!"
Sparks fly!
Ye Ge planted his straight sword in the ground, scraping backward for more than ten meters.
The Eastern Dragon Clan swordsman in blue armor also took several steps back while gripping his greatsword.
Ye Ge raised her head and glanced around.
Nine figures had already surrounded him.
Apart from the Eastern Dragon Clan swordsman wielding the giant sword, the other nine figures were also Dragon Clan swordsmen.
They each carried different styles of knives or swords, some long, some short, some huge and heavy, some sharp and slender, their imposing presence and chilling aura filling the air.
"The Nine Sword Saints of the Dragon Clan..." Ye Ge slowly straightened up, his gaze sweeping over the people around him, and murmured the name of the group of nine swordsmen from the Eastern Dragon Clan.
