Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"I don't know yet. For now, wait first." Xue Fang ordered.

Two puppets appeared beside her, and with her order, both of them dashed forward toward the darkness.

MingHao and YanYu waited in trepidation as they moved their qi, prepared to fight anytime.

XueFang suddenly took a step back, and her finger danced in the air. Two figures were pulled at high speed.

The puppets that she sent were now in tatters, their torsos riddled with holes, while they each missed parts of their arms.

Based on the wounds on the chest, it seemed like they were made with spears, but the wounds on the limbs were like they had been bitten by a beast. This made XueFang feel even more confused about what kind of enemy they were facing.

At first, XueFang thought it was something with a spectral body as many people had died on top of this area. Their souls accidentally entered this place and then got sealed in, turning them into monsters.

This was something that often happened after the souls lost their sanity. If they kept surviving, they would start eating each other.

The survivor would then begin evolving into random abominations depending on their resentment.

XueFang had never faced one, but based on what she knew, they were a hassle to fight with. They would need soul techniques to completely obliterate it.

Step… step…

They focused their gaze forward; a sword appeared in YanYu's hand while MingHao's qi churned, preparing to leap forward.

"Don't. It's not something both of you can face," XueFang warned.

From the darkness, a silhouette came out, a humanoid monster that looked like a knight with three snake tails coming out from his back.

The eyes glinted in red, while the armor was in tatters, the skin was gray, with many maggots moving around, giving it a grotesque appearance.

Some parts of the skull were shown from its head, while its jaw crackled like it wanted to say something.

But no words came out.

'Ancestor, do you know what that is?' MingHao asked in his mind. He had no clue at all.

The ancestor materialized in the air, gazing at the creature, his eyes widened in fear. "Run, you guys should run. That thing should have been dead for a long time. I never knew how it's still alive."

"What do you mean? Explain, old geezer!" XueFang asked while she took out four more puppets.

Two puppets pointed forward with guns in their hands while the other two jumped, one with a huge sword, while the other with a spear.

These four were modified and had been strengthened further using the technology from the BaiYue sect. Experience tales at empire

"I don't know the details, but it's the remains of a very ancient creature. Its body should be used to fuel this array and be dead already.

But I still remember one thing, my ancestor told me that when it was alive, it was almost as strong as an immortal."

The creature's bony arm opened up, a black spear then materialized out of nowhere. The snakes behind its back also showed their poisonous fangs.

Its movement was slow, but the power that was built into the motion was not a joke. It thrust the spear forward, creating a sharp wind that went all the way toward the two puppets.

Swosh…

The two puppets blocked the attack but were knocked back. Two fires then shot, piercing through the air.

Bang! Bang!

The bullets caught the skeleton off guard, and its crimson eyes intensified. It was like something suddenly snapped within it.

"Kill!!.. Kill…!" a hoarse voice escaped through its rattling teeth, followed by hissing from the snakes.

'It seems a soul tried possessing the remains, but somehow, it got overwhelmed by the lingering wills. Just what is this creature?

It doesn't look like a spirit animal body; it's like a hybrid of a human and a beastman.

But I never heard of any fusing with snakes like that. Even those clans only have reptilian eyes and parts of their scales.'

After more observation, XueFang saw ancient letters carved on the clothing, which read as Orochi.

The creature suddenly appeared in front of XueFang's puppet, and two of the snakes shot forward, biting into their arms.

A hissing sound could be heard, followed by smoke as part of the puppets' arms began to melt. But XueFang ignored this and made them attack back.

One sliced the sword horizontally toward the creature's head while the other thrust its spear into the torso.

The creature groaned as it parried the sword attack while the spear pierced through its chest. But there was barely any resistance as it passed through the gap in the creature's ribcage.

It then tilted its body, pulling the spear and XueFang's puppet in the process. The sword was deflected, followed by another attack from the creature.

Another snake leaped, targeting the puppet's head this time.

But before it happened, the other two puppets with guns appeared.

BANG! BANG!

This time, they shot point blank toward the creature's back. Last time, the bullets barely did any damage, but now they have more impact.

The snakes screeched, releasing their bites.

XueFang's finger made a motion in the air, a whirring mechanism could be heard coming from the two puppets.

Their chests opened, shooting a rain of needles toward the creature.

Some were deflected by the armor, but most of them hit the target.

The puppets then quickly jumped backward, the needles started glowing red to orange, smoke coming out followed by a huge explosion.

BOOM!

MingHao and YanYu raised their hands to protect their eyes from the debris while XueFang took out another puppet that carried a huge metal shield.

The shield was carved with arrays, creating a protection barrier for the group.

The explosion was huge, triggering part of the tunnel to collapse.

"That is not enough to kill him!" The ancestor warned while MingHao was more concerned with the after-effects.

Since this part of the tunnel collapsed, they had no way to reach Daying City now. Breaking the barrier would mean a frontal attack that could cause many casualties.
