Both the Heart of Slaughter and the Soul of Slaughter possessed extraordinary destructive power, a full-force attack that sacrificed all defense. While the Fire Emperor Sword in Ming Qi's hands wasn't a divine weapon, supported by the Heart of Slaughter and the Soul of Slaughter, it possessed the destructive power of a divine weapon.
With a single slash of his sword, the ten blood dragons unleashed by the vampire man instantly disintegrated, transforming into wisps of bloody energy that lingered in the air.
"The vampires are nothing more than that!"
Ming Qi retreated several steps, sword in hand, maintaining a distance from the vampire man, speaking coldly.
While speaking, Ming Qi was also busy. Behind the vampire man, clearly marked on the Supreme Diagram before him, a blood-colored orb began to condense. He activated the Heart of Slaughter and the Soul of Slaughter once again, channeling their amplified power onto the orb.
Ultimately, the core of Ming Qi's Martial Souls remains the first, Blood Linglong. Blood Linglong is the culmination of his lifelong insights and possesses countless magical uses. The other Martial Souls were created to enhance Blood Linglong's power. Of course, there's one quirk: the fifth, Epiphyllum. To this day, he hasn't truly grasped the true power of Epiphyllum.
"Hmph! How can a lowly reptile like you comprehend the noble vampires of our alliance?"
The vampire man wasn't surprised to see the Blood Dragon instantly shattered. He extended his right hand and grasped in mid-air, snatching a blood-red sword. The sword was a full man's height, blood-red in color, its blade engraved with unrecognizable patterns, clearly no simple weapon.
With the blood-red sword in hand, the vampire man let out a long roar, his figure swirling as he sped towards Ming Qi.
Undeterred, Ming Qi took the initiative. With a flick of his finger, the blood-red ball of light, already premeditated, flew out, hurling itself headfirst into the vampire's face.
The ball's momentum was fierce, and the vampire felt it. He dodged slightly to the side, intending to let it pass before attacking. However, he was surprised. No matter which way he dodged, the blood-red ball of light remained precisely in his path, blocking him from start to finish.
"A trifling trick!"
The vampire swung his longsword, releasing a burst of blood-red light in an attempt to shatter the ball of light.
Seeing the vampire's arrogance, Ming Qi was more than happy to see it. Since he was determined to engage the ball of light head-on, he would let him have his way, and he would not miss any opening in the air.
Ming Qi flew forward rapidly, slashing his sword through the air. A blade of light, over ten feet long, emanated from the blade and slashed the vampire's waist.
His chosen position was quite tricky. The vampire man was exerting all his strength to disperse the ball of light, and the outcome was imminent. If he dodged, the attack would surely miss; if he didn't, he would be struck by the sword energy.
Ming Qi slashed with his sword, his feet still, his intricate steps completed in an instant. He was on the other side of the vampire man, and the Fire Emperor Sword slashed again.
With the second strike, the vampire man's blade light collided with the blood-colored ball of light that was hurtling towards him. A burst of light shone, and the blade light shattered, but the blood-colored ball of light only paused in mid-air before charging straight towards the vampire man again.
"Damn it!"
The vampire man hadn't expected this ball of light to be so formidable. It wasn't a magic weapon or a demonic beast, yet it automatically tracked its target and was impossible to disperse. Remember, although the previous strike wasn't his full strength, it was at least 80%. It was simply unimaginable that 80% of his strength couldn't disperse such a humble ball of light!
But he had no time to be surprised. His attack was ineffective, and with sword energy attacking from both sides, the vampire man could only retreat.
At this moment, the blood-colored ball of light suddenly accelerated, streaking through the air and slamming into the vampire man's chest. As if struck by lightning, the vampire man lost his balance and crashed to the ground.
Blood and energy surged around the vampire man as he flew backward, as if he were immersed in a sea of blood. In the blink of an eye, he leaped back up.
Seeing the vampire man stabilize himself so quickly, Ming Qi was deeply shocked. Xue Linglong's attack had reached its peak, yet it still failed to harm the vampire man. This showed the vampire man's strength.
"I will show you the true power of the vampires!"
The vampire man flicked his finger, and a stream of blood gushed out, rapidly spreading in front of him before transforming into strands of blood energy that merged into his body.
What Ming Qi couldn't have imagined was that even that tiny drop of blood, the moment it merged into the vampire's body, unleashed a monstrous wave. The area around him, a hundred meters in radius, instantly transformed into a sea of blood. The surging blood energy, like tangible blood, pulsed with a joyful roar, and streams of blood-red torrents surged and flowed, then merged once again into the vampire's body.
Only then did Ming Qi understand that that drop of blood wasn't the vampire's own, but human blood!
A single drop of blood could fully unleash a vampire's thirst for blood, a thirst that could directly and rapidly double their combat effectiveness!
Terrifying talent, a powerful vampire!
Ming Qi could clearly sense the vampire's aura surge, approaching that of a Martial God!
Gripping a blood-red longsword, the vampire stepped through the air, rapidly approaching.
Without hesitation, Ming Qi immediately unleashed the God-Slaying Idol and set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation. Then, the star power he had long accumulated within him, suddenly unleashed, a brilliant beam of starlight descended from the sky, instantly enveloping him in a radiant glow, resembling a god.
At this point, Ming Qi began the fight in earnest. With the blessing of the Star Attraction, his speed, strength, and many other attributes were greatly enhanced. While there was still a gap between him and the vampire man's near-martial god-like strength, the God-Slaying Idol and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation made up for it, making him more than capable of a fight.
After invigorating the bloodlust, the vampire man's speed reached extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of him, his blood-red longsword slashing down, a blood-red blade over three meters long!
Ming Qi didn't dare underestimate the enemy. Holding the Fire Emperor Sword, he didn't immediately attack, but instead began to move around, the God-Slaying Idol's Immortal Slaughtering Formation moving with him, searching for an opportunity.
The blade missed, and the vampire's face gleamed with anger. He vanished in a flash, only to reappear behind Ming Qi the next moment, his blood-red blade slashing down.
Feeling the sharp wind behind him, Ming Qi was startled. He hadn't expected the vampire to be so agile and leave no trace. He immediately activated the Nirvana Divine King Technique's strongest fire ring, enveloping him in a ball of flame. He dodged and lightly tapped the vampire's finger.
Rich star power surged out like a floodgate, tracing a bright white line through the air. The Soul-Calming Heavenly Slaughtering God unleashed a single finger, unleashing the final blow at the last moment.
