Free Web NovelChapter 358: Chapter 347: Someone Will Definitely Target You Tonight
The other members of the Vampire Clan and the Werewolf Clan were still locked in a standoff,
their attention entirely focused on Ye Lingyun and Florian.
Most members of the Vampire Clan did not know Ye Lingyun’s true identity.
All this time,
they had all assumed Ye Lingyun was an elite groomed by their Vampire Clan Leader, Xiao Cangqing.
In public, Ye Lingyun had always stood behind Xiao Cangqing,
like a secretary responsible for running errands and following his orders.
But now,
the way Ye Lingyun had made her entrance
made many of the uninformed Vampire Clan members realize
that her identity was not as simple as they had believed.
The muscle fibers lying dormant beneath the skin of Florian’s arms instantly awakened, beginning an astonishing transformation.
These muscle fibers did not simply contract; instead, they began a bizarre process of restructuring and layering.
They intertwined and coiled, gradually building up indestructible "mountain ranges."
Their thickness was utterly astonishing, having already surpassed the limits of the human body and approaching the physique of a mythological giant.
This power was by no means a simple increase in muscle mass.
It contained a mighty force capable of shaking the heavens and earth and subverting nature itself.
Imagine a power immense enough to shake a majestic mountain range from its very foundations
until it could no longer bear the strain and collapsed with a thunderous roar.
At this moment, this power was no longer latent but, like a surging river,
erupted from every inch of skin and every blood vessel in Florian’s arms,
forming an unstoppable torrent that swept over everything around him.
A heart-pounding tremor filled the air. Even space itself trembled before this power,
seeming to want to escape the impending catastrophe.
Ye Lingyun couldn’t help but feel the pressure of this power, her feet involuntarily taking a step back.
Each step left a deep imprint,
as if even the earth could not withstand the aftershocks of this power
and was trying to clear a path of retreat for her.
Florian’s arms had now transformed into colossal pillars between heaven and earth.
Every muscle gleamed with a cold, metallic luster,
exuding an oppressive aura that was not of the mortal world.
The air around him was crushed and distorted by this power,
forming visible ripples that spread outward.
Even distant trees were shaken by this invisible shockwave, their leaves rustling,
as if nature itself were whispering in awe of this unknown power.
"Did you think I wouldn’t be prepared for you?"
To the surprise of every Vampire Clan member present,
the face of the Werewolf Race’s Clan Leader, Florian,
revealed an extremely human-like cunning and the smile of a scheme come to fruition.
At this sight, even Ye Lingyun couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment,
clearly not fully comprehending the meaning behind Florian’s words.
Florian used the rebound force from his earlier clash with Ye Lingyun
to retreat several hundred meters in an instant.
Then, he looked over toward the members of the Werewolf Clan.
Soon, the crowd parted, and a middle-aged man in a suit was dragged out.
His entire body had been tortured to the point that not a single spot was unscathed, and he was dripping with blood.
His feet dragged limply on the ground, smearing two long trails of blood on the floor.
The middle-aged man’s hair was soaked, drenched in blood and sweat,
dripping a mixture of the two.
The two Werewolf Clan members dragging him let go, dropping the middle-aged man directly onto the ground.
The middle-aged man seemed to sense something and propped himself up with great effort to raise his head.
When he saw the scene all around him, he froze on the spot.
Then, his exhausted and pain-filled eyes began to tremble profoundly.
This middle-aged man had the distinct features of a Vampire Clan member:
his ears were pointed, and the pupils of his eyes were blood-red.
His face was deathly pale, and a pair of sharp fangs protruded from behind his lips.
"McCoy, what are you doing there?"
A Vampire Clan Prince recognized the middle-aged man and asked in astonishment.
But then he recalled the words Florian, the Werewolf Clan Leader, had just spoken,
and a terrible suspicion formed in his mind.
Before the various vampire Clans were all consolidated,
this middle-aged man had belonged to the very Clan this Prince represented.
The fact that Ye Lingyun was the true master of the Vampire Clan
was known only to the few Elders of the Vampire Clan, a dozen or so Princes,
and a few other exceptional, high-ranking members.
And this middle-aged man named McCoy was one of them.
Due to the imminent life-or-death battle with the Werewolf Clan,
there were simply too many things to prepare,
so much so that they had overlooked the fact that McCoy was not among them.
So, it turned out he had been captured by the Werewolf Clan.
That explained why Florian wasn’t surprised that Ye Lingyun was the Vampire Clan’s true master—he had even seemed to expect it. McCoy must have been the one who leaked the secret.
Immediately, fury appeared on the handsome face of this Vampire Clan Prince.
For the noble and elegant Vampire Clan,
the emergence of a traitor was an exceptionally shameful matter.
