Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

The smoke dispersed, leaving behind many craters in the ground and littered body pieces. Surrounding them were four figures in hoods with weird metallic pipes on their shoulders.

Xue Fang ordered her puppet to show up since she already could not hide them. The first shot was a surprise, but the second wave was not, some of the golden core cultivators already pinpointed their location. Making it better for her to take the initiative.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But this didn't mean she would show up. Xue Fang preferred to be a puppeteer who controlled everything from the shadows.

The elders tried to communicate, but the four puppets didn't respond; instead, they threw the pipes toward their location. This made them quickly exert their qi to dodge.

They didn't know what item that was. They could not even feel any qi coming from it. But that is what made them think it was dangerous.

How could a normal metal pipe create such an explosion?

In reality, Xue Fang only used the modified rocket on the first attack, and she used normal ones for the second wave. This is why they could not feel anything from the bazooka.

CLANG! CLANG!

The bazooka crashed into the ground, and the four puppets utilized this moment. As the elders all escaped, the spot was completely empty.

The four puppets took out a sphere from their hoods, then threw it into the spot. Another wave of explosions followed but this time it was like the first one, the ground shook and cracked.

The grenades they used were modified to utilize qi and formations, enhancing their damage to a new level.

The elders were caught off guard. The ritual formation this time could not survive the onslaught.

"ARRRGH!!!" A guttural scream then reverberated in the air as the man they tried to refine broke free.

Without the formation array, nothing was holding him down nor blocking his scream out. The elders could only hear it now, but each of them knew he was screaming all the time.

The pain of having your soul and body refined is not something that any sane person can withstand. At this point, the disciple's mind had already broken, leaving behind instincts fueled by negative emotions.

His hatred being betrayed by his own sect, his own master. Those that he thought were his family, even his own lover, all became sources of his anger.

His skin was now as white as snow with all his veins protruding out colored in dark. His hand turned into something like a beast's claw, where all the nails grew long and sharp.

The man's eyes lost their white completely colored in darkness, it was like an empty void that wanted to eat the world whole.

His qi exploded out, making the four elders' faces quickly turn into panic. Mystic Integration Realm Late stage. It was not something they could face even if the target was brainless, and could not use any secret techniques.

"GRAAA!!!" The man screamed and then moved like a blur, starting his massacre.

Xue Fang saw everything that was happening, she didn't plan to help the elders. In her mind, it was better to observe now and study how he moved, if he could kill all the elders it would be better for her since she would need to face fewer enemies.

Even though he was two realms ahead of her now, she didn't feel afraid. Xue Fang still believed she could kill him.

'He looks like a ghoul that I watched in some of those cartoons, but it's quite different as he doesn't have any of that red tail thingy.

Hmm… maybe more correct if I just treat him like a spirit beast.'

The reason Xue Fang thought this is because the ghoul attacked and moved like one. Despite standing on its two legs, its movements consisted only of leaping, biting, slashing, from a distance he would use his bone turning it into something like a chain then pulling the elder close to him.

He would then tear the elder apart, eating it if they didn't have any protection barrier.

The way the ghoul fought was brutal; he would take out the bone on his hand or body and then somehow transform it into a weapon based on his needs.

His body was sliced open, but he moved like he didn't feel any pain.

'How could I kill this creature? Where is the core?' Xue Fang thought.

It's clear slashing the ghoul's body won't work, and she also needs to calculate how many puppets she needs to sacrifice.

Otherwise, there was no way she could hold the ghoul down and launch an attack.

The ghoul roared once more, right now only two elders were left standing in the battleground, one was the formation elder, while the other was the one questioning their sect elder.

"I don't know who you are, but don't you see how strong this creature is? I have this formation jade slip. If you help us, I will give it to you."

Xue Fang moved her qi then used one of the puppets to respond in a genderless voice, "Give me the jade slip first, otherwise we will have no deal."

The formation elder hesitated, as this was the only item he had to negotiate, but the other elder was desperate, he had already lost one of his hands, while trying his best to run away from the ghoul's attack.

"Just give it to her! Do you have a better idea?"

"Fine!" The formation elder replied as he threw it to the puppet.

Xue Fang quickly read the information inside, she marveled at the intricacy of the array, how it worked and moved, some of it even gave her an idea to make her puppet even stronger.

But this one was quite cruel and could even be called an evil method.

She would need to capture someone, torture them till they were dyed with dark emotion, and then refine their soul into the puppet.
