Crackle, crackle!
Gray raised one hand in the air. Suddenly, a large amount of purple lightning gathered in his hand and turned into a gigantic purple lightning bolt that was more than ten meters long. It emitted a terrifying aura that was suffocating.
Whoosh!
The gigantic purple lightning bolt struck out like a purple light and struck a sand dune in the distance.
Boom!
The gigantic sand dune was flattened in the blink of an eye. Sand and gravel flew everywhere like a surging river.
Gray retreated a few dozen meters to avoid the yellow sand that surged towards him like a river.
He was not too surprised by such destructive power. It was only at the unique level of the Barbarian level. It was only slightly better than nothing in terms of the increase in his combat strength.
The only advantage was that this ability had a natural restraining effect on ghosts. If he encountered ghosts in the future, even if he did not have magic weapons like lightning or flames, he did not have to worry about not having the means to restrain them.
He carefully sensed the various abilities in his body. He wanted to see if the lightning ability had mixed with the other abilities in his body to form an even more powerful blood fiend ability.
Soon, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
"It actually merged to form such an ability …"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Large amounts of black metal powder floated up from the yellow sand and eventually turned into sharp metal blades that floated around Gray.
Crackle, crackle!
The next moment, the surface of all the metal blades was suddenly entwined with strands of purple lightning, emitting an even more dangerous aura.
It made the metal blade, which was already emitting an extremely sharp aura, even more dangerous.
Then, all of the metal blades gathered together and turned into an enormous snake that shot forth to attack Chu Feng.
Boom, boom, boom!
After destroying several sand dune, the long snake's lightning disappeared and the metal blades turned back into powder, completely dispersing.
The combination of lightning ability and metal ability. This was the second hybrid ability that Gray had obtained!
Without a doubt, the ability to manipulate metal with lightning was much more powerful than pure lightning or metal manipulation.
"It's a pity that I didn't manage to combine the three elements. However, I was able to combine the lightning and metal elements, which would greatly enhance my combat strength …"
What Gray wanted the most was naturally a hybrid ability formed from the three types of blood fiends. If he could do so, Gray would be able to fight above his level and possess strength comparable to a Desolate Blood warrior.
However, the mixed ability formed from the three types of blood fiends was obviously not something that could be casually formed by swallowing the blood of blood fiends. There must be a certain mixing rule that Gray did not know about at the moment.
Fortunately, although it did not form a three-elemental hybrid ability, it unexpectedly formed a two-elemental hybrid ability of lightning and metal.
Whether it was the lightning ability or the ability to manipulate metal, they were all extremely destructive abilities. Naturally, the destructive power of these abilities was also extremely strong.
In terms of destructive power, the Lightning Metal Ability was even more powerful than the Ice Wind Blade Ability.
"The two mixed abilities have different inclinations …"
This did not mean that the Ice Wind Blade ability was inferior to the Lightning Metal ability.
Apart from having destructive power, the Ice Wind Blade also had the ability to freeze. It could bind and delay the enemy, and was also an extremely powerful ability.
It could only be said that the two abilities had different inclinations. The Lightning Metal Ability was inclined towards pure destruction, while the Ice Wind Blade Ability was not only destructive, it also had the effect of binding the enemy.
First using the Ice Wind Blade to bind the enemy, then using the more destructive Lightning Metal ability to attack the bound enemy would definitely increase Gray's combat strength by a large margin.
After confirming that there were no other changes in his body, Gray began to rush towards the Wallen family while attempting to cultivate the blood technique.
Although he could stay in the Fergus family and wait for the Wallen family to come knocking on his door, that would definitely cause serious damage to the Fergus territory.
With the destructive power of the desolate-grade weapon and the suspected forbidden weapon in his hand, a single mishap could cause the entire town to disappear. Therefore, Gray decided to block the door and choose the location of the battle to be the Wallen family territory.
This way, even if it was destroyed, it would be the Wallen family territory and not the Fergus family territory.
A week later, Gray had already entered the Wallen family territory.
He had no intention of concealing himself and traveled along the trade route without the slightest fear of being discovered by the Wallen family. Or rather, his goal was to be discovered by the Wallen family.
The reason he had come to the Warren family this time was not to launch a sneak attack on the Warren family. Instead, he was prepared to directly clash with the Warren family and then use the weapon that he suspected to be a forbidden weapon to destroy the Warren family's rune puppets and eliminate this threat.
After setting up a tent on a trade route and eating dinner, Gray began to cultivate the Thunder Wyvern Beast blood technique.
Just like the blood technique that Gray had cultivated before, the Thunder Wyvern Beast blood technique also had four training methods in one cycle. Each training method was divided into an external training method and an internal totem training method. Gray was currently cultivating the first training method.
The external training method was secondary. The most difficult was the internal totem training method. The higher the level, the more complex the totem training method and the more difficult it was to cultivate.
The totem training method after reaching the desolate-grade was several times more difficult than the barbarian grade. With no one to guide him, Gray could only fumble around on his own. As a result, Gray was still cultivating the first training method.
* Crackle! *
In the empty space next to the tent, Gray maintained a strange training method.
His legs were taut, and he was in a state where he could leap up at any time …
His body was slightly bent, as if he was in a battle state …
Inside his body, a complicated and cumbersome totem was being constructed from the power of blood.
It was a blood beast that resembled a lizard but had a single, knife-like horn.
* Weng! *
The moment this totem was completed, a strange vibration sounded in the air, and then a large amount of blue light quickly gathered.
The blue light seemed to have a life of its own as it quickly gathered and solidified. Finally, a gigantic lizard with a single horn on its head appeared.
The lizard was nine meters long and its entire body was covered in blue scales. It was as if there were pieces of sapphires embedded in its body.
A terrifying aura suddenly appeared, and the various animals that were playing in the forest on both sides of the road all stopped playing. Some of them ran away in fear, while others were so scared that they prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move at all.
"I've finally succeeded in cultivating the first training method!"
The purple lizard disappeared, and Gray withdrew from his training. After spending a week, Gray had finally succeeded in cultivating the first training method.
"The Wallen family has probably received news that I've entered the territory!"
Gray looked in one direction. It was the direction where the Wallen family was, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
His strength had reached the Barbarian level, and his combat strength was comparable to a Barbarian Blood warrior who had completed a round of training. He also had four Barbarian level blood beasts that could transform into metal and had a terrifying defense. With such combat strength, he could defeat any opponent in the Barbarian level.
Although he should be slightly weaker than a Barbarian Blood warrior, he definitely had the ability to resist.
Even if the weapon that he suspected to be a forbidden weapon was not what he thought it was, he still had the ability to escape easily. Hence, even though he knew that he would be discovered by the Wallen family, he was not afraid.
Moreover, based on his estimation, there was at least a ninety percent chance that the crossbow bolt was a forbidden weapon. After all, it was too similar to the Kenneth family's forbidden weapon.
In the Wallen family's meeting room, a group of senior members of the family was gathered. Their faces were filled with anger.
An old man in his fifties sat on the main seat. He had a brown beard and a dignified aura. Due to his anger, his dignified aura was even stronger.
He was the head of the Wallen family, Brent Wallen.
On his left, there was a handsome young man. He was Edgar Wallen, who had interacted with Gray many times.
On his right, there was an old man covered in bandages. This person had also interacted with Gray many times. He was one of the three Barbarian Blood warriors of the Wallen family.
He had also gone to the Tomb of the King this time. However, he had been seriously injured when he was helping Master Herman to crack the rune mechanism, so he did not enter the Tomb of the King.
"Head of the family, what did the royal family say?"
The old man covered in bandages asked.
"The royal family's attitude is very clear. They don't think that Gray Fergus is responsible for Uncle Relph's death!"
Brent Wallen said in a deep voice.
"Damn it, the royal family is obviously siding with Gray Fergus."
"I heard that the second princess has a close relationship with Gray Fergus. It seems that it is true."
"He has the royal family's protection. What should we do?"
"Are we just going to let it go?"
…
Some of the senior members of the Wallen family were furious, while others frowned.
"We can't just let it go like this!"
Edgar clenched his fists, his eyes spitting fire.
"Father, since the royal family doesn't intend to do anything, then let us do it ourselves. Let me command the rune puppets to attack the Fergus family!"
At this moment, a man dressed as a butler hurriedly ran in and spoke to the head of the Wallen family, Brent Wallen.
"Head of the family, we've just received news that Gray Fergus has been found within Wallen territory. Looking at the direction he's heading, it seems that he's coming for the Wallen family!"
Hearing this news, the senior members of the Wallen family exploded. They were so angry that their eyes were spitting fire, and their faces were trembling violently.
"What?
He actually dares to come here? "
"Arrogant, too arrogant!"
"The Wallen family has been established for hundreds of years, and we have never suffered such humiliation. Kill him, we must kill him!"
"No, we must capture him alive and peel off his flesh piece by piece. Let him die from the pain for seven days and seven nights!"
…
The head of the Wallen family, Brent Wallen, was also burning with rage. His voice seeped out from between his teeth as he spoke coldly.
"Gray Fergus …"
