Chapter 563 - You Cant Kill Him! (1/2)
“Clang!”
The black shadow blocked Chen Fan’s earth-splitting attack with one hand.
Chen Fan’s blade had almost reached its limit after destroying the array; It had also slaughtered Sandro and Norland, and it even broke Arthur and Damon’s spell. Being able to block it was a sign that the black shadow was as powerful as Li Changsheng and Lin Shuming, or it may have even surpa.s.sed them.
“Bang!”
The Blade Qi exploded in the hand of the black shadow and pushed him backwards. His hand was blown into pieces, but then it started healing at a visible speed.
“Who are you?”
Chen Fan frowned and looked at the man.
He was wearing a luxurious tight n.o.ble suit with a black cape and a rhino leather belt imprinted with complex patterns, as well as a pair of black riding boots. He was a middle-aged man of extremely good looks and scarlet eyes; he looked as if he were the king of darkness.
His Dark Energy was as deep as the ocean, surpa.s.sing every person Chen Fan had met on Earth. There was even a slight Connate sense, which made Chen Fan think he was looking at a Connate Cultivator.
“The Dark Duke?” Arthur’s eyes immediately popped out and he yelled doubtfully. It seemed that he didn’t expect to see the Dark Duke.
“The Dark Duke of Queen Elizabeth. A pleasure to meet you.”
The Dark Duke bowed.
He was acting with an ancient and elegant manner, just like a Medieval n.o.ble. Damon was like a child compared to him; his strength and experience were leagues away from the Dark Duke’s.
“You’re the Guardian of England?” Chen Fan asked as he narrowed his eyes.
China was guarded by Ye Qingcang, Russia by Oleg, and other big countries would certainly have their own. From what Chen Fan heard, the strongest guardian among all wasn’t Ye Qingcang or the one from the United States; it was the one in England.
The British Empire, the world’s dominator a hundred years before.
At that time, England was regarded as “the empire on which the sun never sets” and they had territories all over the world. The plains in North America and Russia were their cornfields; Canada and the Baltic region were their forest zones; their sheep farms were in Australia; Gold from South Africa and Australia was sent to London; Indians and Chinese grew tea for them…
England had indeed dominated the world on its own. They had suppressed the world, confronting the Christian Church in a time that had no nuclear power. n.o.body could imagine how powerful England was and how much dark power they had.
“You can say that. Me and my companions have indeed been guarding that old kingdom for almost three hundred years,” the Dark Duke said slowly.
He wasn’t lying.
Chen Fan could feel the incomparable Dark Energy and his body’s centuries of age. Normally, an Immortal State Warrior could only live up to a hundred and fifty years. He wasn’t even an Earth Level Deity, so how could he be three hundred years old?
Chen Fan glanced over the Dark Duke’s healed palm and said, “A pure Kindred? No, if you were a pure Kindred, your hand wouldn’t have been injured. So, you’re a half-blood Kindred?”
What was a half-blood?
A half-blood had a mixed descent in which the father or mother was pure blooded while the other wasn’t.
Adult pure-blood Kindreds were all Connate Beings but the strength of the half-bloods was also terrifying, not being far from Connate Beings. Only part of their blood was from the Kindred lineage, but their power had surpa.s.sed the Werewolves and Oleg.
“Mr. Chen is indeed a mighty figure of the East. You know the Kindred very well.”
The Dark Duke was shocked.
“The Kindred is a long-living species. They live much longer than the Immortal Cultivators of the same generation and an adult Kindred can live up to a thousand years. Even though you’re a half-blood, you should be able to live up to three hundred years.”
Chen Fan shook his head. “I never thought there were still half-blood Kindreds on Earth, but you shouldn’t stand in my way. Even a real adult Kindred wouldn’t stop me from killing Damon.”
Hearing that, Damon instantly yelled. “Uncle, this a.s.shole chased after me from China to Europe. Norland and Sandro are dead. Also, he’s an Immortal Cultivator and seems to be related to those from the Gate of Heaven. You have to take him down…”
“Shut up!” The Dark Duke turned around and scolded Damon, then he looked at Chen Fan seriously.
“My dear Mr. Chen Beixuan, I know you’re an invincible Overlord from the East, or you may even be one of the legendary Immortal Cultivators, but I can’t let you kill Damon. He carries a n.o.ble bloodline and is the descendant of my Lord. He’s under my protection. Please stop for my sake.”
“As compensation, we’ll offer you Earth level treasures and secret arts, or holy artifacts of the Christian Church. I can give you everything you want,” The Dark Duke said confidently.
The United Kingdom had once dominated the world for centuries. n.o.body knew how many treasures the British Royals and the Dark Duke had. They could kill countless Immortal State Warriors simply by using the treasures and artifacts in their possession.
Even Ye Qingcang and Lin Shuming would die for them.
“Move, or I will also kill you,” Chen Fan shouted with cold eyes.
Even an Immortal Artifact of a Dao Level Perfected Immortal couldn’t stop Chen Fan from killing Damon, not to mention the treasure of an Earth Level Deity. Everyone had weaknesses and family was Chen Fan’s.
Arthur, the sect master of the Poseidon Sect, said, “Sir, you might not know the real ident.i.ty of the Dark Duke.”
“The Dark Duke and his companions have guarded the United Kingdom, while ruling the entire Dark World and confronting the Christian Church for centuries. Even the nine Immortal State Cardinals can’t do anything to him. After all, he helped the Christian Church when the United States forced them to shut down.”
“The Dark Duke even ranked among the Overlords on the Divine Roll centuries ago.”
