Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

The darkness seemed to have struck something extremely hard, and stopped before the night.

What even darkness cannot sever is the invisible sword of night.

The Black Sky was cut in two by this invisible sword, and the sword's momentum was heading towards Qin Yu. Qin Yu withdrew the Black Sky to block the sword.

Ding!

He swung the Black Sky sword, which clashed with the invisible sword.

Taking this opportunity, Luna and her companions tried to surround the darkness and launch an attack from three directions.

The crimson wolf transformed into a giant, blood-red wolf and pounced into the night.

Yin Feixue retrieved the Blood Thorn from Qin Yu and used it together with the Blood Rose to unleash the full power of the pair of swords.

Luna's moonlight locked in the darkness, and countless moonbeams were poised to unleash their power.

"..."

Qin Yu's Black Sky was rubbing against that invisible sword. He had to launch a counterattack when Yin Feixue and the others launched an attack and distracted Black Night, so that his attack would be effective.

"Slash...at the void!"

An invisible sword slashed at Qin Yu's right shoulder. Qin Yu abandoned the stalemate and, despite his injury, unleashed a sword technique on the night. The black sky transformed into a sword aura that pierced the air, slashing towards the night who stood still.

Qin Yu's attack, along with Yin Feixue and the others' attacks, combined to encircle the darkness.

"good……"

Standing still, the darkness couldn't help but exclaim in praise, "Unbound by form, this is the essence of the sword..."

The attacks from all sides crashed into the night, and with a deafening boom, even Red, who was relying on physical attacks, had to retreat.

Qin Yu did not stop after the attack was successful. He rushed into the explosion and, sure enough, the darkness at the center of the explosion remained untouched.

A sword circle formed around him and spread outwards. The sudden attack caught Yin Feixue and the others off guard, and they all fell down. Only Qin Yu managed to block it.

Ding!

Now only Qin Yu is still standing in front of the darkness, the two of them less than twenty meters apart.

"As a swordsman, I am already qualified to be crowned a sword saint..."

Hei Ye was delighted that Qin Yu's swordsmanship was so advanced. If Qin Yu's level was comparable to his own, they could truly fight. At that time, he wouldn't know who would win or lose. However, this was exactly what he hoped for: to find a swordsman who could fight him.

Qin Yu felt that he was locked onto by the Heart Sword of the Night, and he finally used one-tenth of his power.

Since that's the case, Qin Yu will have to show off his skills. His swordsmanship is specifically designed to deal with people who are several times stronger than him.

"Using the sky as the blade, man as the jaw, and the earth as the handle..."

Qin Yu merged himself with heaven and earth, borrowing their power to sever the invisible sword of darkness.

click!

As their swords clashed, a crack seemed to appear in the sword's domain...

Chapter 134 The Mutated Fruit

Yin Feixue and the others didn't know who had won, as Qin Yu and Hei Ye remained silent.

"At this point, I admit defeat."

The Night Sword Saint voluntarily conceded defeat. His attack was blocked by Qin Yu, and he himself was also injured by Hei Tian.

Qin Yu's swordsmanship had just deflected Hei Ye's attack, and Hei Tian's power had also injured Hei Ye. However, the injury was similar to a minor scrape and was not fatal.

As darkness dissipated, Qin Yu's tense nerves finally relaxed; his sword domain had almost cracked just now.

The sword domain dissipated, and Don Quixote and the others didn't know who had won in the end.

"Master, what kind of deal did you make with the vampires that made you come to find Xiaoxue?" Although he had won, Qin Yu was still curious about the deal between Hei Ye and the vampires.

"It's nothing, they just promised to help me find someone."

"Who?"

"An alchemist named Bruce."

"..."

Upon hearing the name, Qin Yu was taken aback and continued, "Bruce? Master, what do you want with him?"

"Hmm... The Alchemy Alliance said they have researched a puppet that can contain 10th-level power, but we don't know if they have succeeded."

Hei Ye didn't tell Qin Yu about the gift he was going to give him; if he had said it, it wouldn't be a gift anymore.

"..." Qin Yu didn't know what Hei Ye wanted this god-level puppet body for, but he currently had a god-level puppet body in his hands, which the system gave him after the last war.

"Master, what do you need that doll for?"

"...A friend of mine needs it, but I'm not entirely sure what it's for. Oh well, I'll just go find it in the Blood Soul Realm myself."

Just as the darkness was about to leave, Qin Yu called out to him, "Master, if you need a puppet body that can accommodate 10th-tier power, I happen to have one here..."

"Oh?"

The darkness that was just about to leave suddenly turned around. This was good news; it was like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Master, take it if you need it." Qin Yu handed the divine-level puppet body to Hei Ye.

To be honest, he's useless now, so it's better to give him to the night.

"Good disciple, your master will not let you down..." With this, he could finish his task for that guy. Hei Ye took the divine puppet body and immediately set off. Qin Yu waved goodbye to Hei Ye.

"Servant, what exactly is your master going to do?" Yin Feixue asked as she dragged her injured body over. Qin Yu immediately helped Yin Feixue up.

"Xiaoxue, are you alright?"

“I’m fine, servant. Answer my question.”

"Even if you ask me that, Xiaoxue, I don't know either. There are many secrets about Master that I don't know either..."

That's the truth. The Night Sword Saint has too many secrets about him, and even his former disciple couldn't fully understand them.

"Never mind, help me back." Yin Feixue didn't intend to delve into the matter; she just wanted to find an excuse to get close to Qin Yu so he could help her back.

"it is good."

"Ah!" The two hadn't taken more than a few steps when they suddenly heard Luna let out a wail.

"Human, I'm badly injured, please help me..."

Luna's tone was clearly feigned; Yin Feixue was staring at her with disdain, and Luna secretly glared back.

"I'll take over for Brother Yu!" Bing Tang Xue Li ran up at the perfect moment and helped Luna up.

"No need, I'm fine!" Luna, who had just been weak, was now full of energy again. She floated towards Qin Yu, grabbed Yin Feixue's other side, and said warmly, "Human, let me help treat this vampire. You go and rest~"

Luna snatched the Silver Snow from Qin Yu's hands and flew into the villa with it, leaving Qin Yu with nothing but a helpless shrug.

"Luna traded one for one, if I can't have her, you can't have her either..."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bing Tang Xue Li slipped over; the fight between the two of them gave her the chance.

"Brother Yu, are you alright?" Bing Tang Xue Li reached out to massage Qin Yu's shoulders.

"It's alright, Master wasn't really going all out..."

If Qin Yu wants to fight his master, he must reach the same level as him, the 9th rank, and then we'll know who is stronger.

Moreover, he must possess a divine artifact capable of contending with Heitian, which, frankly, is somewhat unattainable for Qin Yu at present.

Shortly after the battle, Melu found Qin Yu and reported on the mutation of the advancement fruit.

"Mutated into red? Really?"

Qin Yu was somewhat incredulous. If that were the case, wouldn't he be able to directly advance to level 7 with this?

"Yes, but the conversion seems to have stalled. Your Lordship should go and take a look yourself..."

Qin Yu nodded and went with Melu to the place where the upgrade fruit was being cultivated. Nanafu and a group of little fairies were all gathered there, observing the mutated upgrade fruit.

The fruit in the center of the pond had turned a faint red, but the change stopped there and did not continue.

"..."

Qin Yu observed it for a moment and used the system to identify it. The results showed that the fruit was indeed undergoing mutation, but for some reason it had stopped.

"My lord, what are your thoughts?" Melu was somewhat bewildered by the situation. This was her first time studying this kind of fruit, and the research materials Qin Yu had given her before did not mention this anomaly.

"If the mutation succeeds, this red advancement fruit can raise a level from 6 to 7. This kind of red fruit is extremely rare, and I'm not entirely sure how it's produced..."

Qin Yu had zero knowledge of this area in his previous life. After all, most of the time he just played this game as a groundbreaking game, unaware that it was so complex.

"However, we can make a guess..."

Having just carefully observed the surroundings, Qin Yu offered his interpretation: "Given that the pond and surrounding conditions remained unchanged, the mutation of this fruit must be a matter of chance, and its stagnation in mutation is definitely related to the surrounding environment..."

"First, try adding water to change the surrounding environment and conduct a controlled variable experiment..."

At Qin Yu's command, the little fairies sprang into action, adding water to the pool and altering the surrounding environment.

But there was still no response.

"..." Qin Yu thought for a moment, then asked them to temporarily move the remaining lower-level upgrade fruit away.

Soon after, the red light of the mutating upgrade fruit began to dim, and Qin Yu immediately had the little fairy put the fruit back.

"I see……"

Qin Yu roughly understood the conditions for this mutation. The reaction just now indicated that for the fruit to completely mutate, there must be enough other fruits of advancement around it, which would make things simple.

"Melu, is there any progress on the new upgrade fruit seed?"

"Yes, my lord, those seeds are already in the cultivation stage, and they can be put into the pond for growth experiments in two days."

"Alright, we'll see how it goes then. For now, let them be like this and wait for the new fruit to grow..."

"Yes."

If he could cultivate a red advancement fruit, Qin Yu could directly reach the 7th rank without even needing to go to the Blackfire Kingdom. If he went to the Blackfire Kingdom at the 7th rank, he should be able to bring out even more items.

In the lakeside villa that had already been automatically repaired, Angel, who had been unconscious, gradually awoke. She felt as if she had been having a very long dream...
