Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

The ghoul's intelligence is raised because of the contact with her puppet.

The ghoul learned from the self-learning combat formation etched on the puppet. The same one used by Vesa with the mannequin that fought against Ling Hua.

The ghoul's sword was so sharp that even the puppet with a huge shield barely blocked its attack.

BANG!

With one hit, a loud sound reverberated, as half of the shield's thickness was cut down. The ghoul sent another attack, cutting it into two.

Knowing the puppets wouldn't last longer, she sent them closer and made them explode to attack the ghoul. An explosion reverberated again as Xue Fang took out more puppets that pointed their guns toward the ghoul.

A barrage of bullets reverberated in the air as she thought how her combat style had completely changed. In the past, she would use many hidden weapons and poison, but now it was so flashy and filled with explosives.

She began to think she should change it back when she finished the mission. Xue Fang was so amazed by the technology Ming Yue showed her that she got too absorbed in it.

Bullets, explosives, and smoke filled the area as she threw everything she had. The ghoul had now become a very dangerous entity in her eyes.

If he kept learning and becoming better in his current cultivation realm, none of them would survive. She couldn't allow this to happen.

But the explosions and bullets did nothing more than create more craters on the ground. The ghoul was barely wounded as it kept making its way toward Xue Fang.

Each of its attacks became more sophisticated, its movements even started mimicking modern fighting styles. Some that Xue Fang had learned from movies and stories.

A boxing footstep, the sway, while it kept dancing with its sword, cutting her puppets into pieces.

The more time passed, her confidence began to break. Ten puppets, twenty puppets, fifty puppets, none of them had any use other than turning into experience points that just leveled up the puppet.

If this was a video game, her puppets would just be cannon fodder that everyone else would curse with 1001 vocabulary words that she barely understood. Like NOOB!

Despair started overwhelming her as she faced the ghoul that was now walking toward her. All the puppets were littered on the ground in pieces. Her heart shook as she took out two spheres from her storage ring. This was her last resort, a modified Asura Fury Lotus.

She modified it with more explosives and poisonous chemicals. While the last one would not just trigger a hail of deadly needle storm but also an atomic explosion. The one she had was on a far smaller scale than Alex used.

But based on her expectation, this should be far more than enough to kill an immortal if she used it in an ambush.

The sphere spun in the air creating a whirring sound, it then began to bloom like a beautiful lotus right in front of the ghoul.

BAM! SWOSH! BOOM!

The sequence of attacks exploded, the ghoul moved its sword in quick succession parrying each of them. Needles were deflected while some pierced through its skin but had no use.

The poison just didn't have any effect on the ghoul; some of the acid was still used as its muscles were liquefied but quickly regenerated.

But Xue Fang already expected this, her hope was on the final sequence when finally the atomic explosion happened.

The needles rained down their lethal poison, but the ghoul kept walking forward barely impeded. Then it finally came, the chemical reaction followed by a sphere explosion the size of a car that engulfed the ghoul as a whole.

The blinding light pulled the elder's attention toward that direction, and cold sweat came out, as both of them knew they would be instantly killed if touched by that amount of energy.

What scared them even more was that they didn't know what or how it happened; it was pure destructive power with heat that couldn't be linked with just the fire element. Something they had never seen before.

The explosion dissipated, leaving a bit of radiation in the air. Xue Fang's hope shattered to ashes as she saw that the ghoul still survived.

Gritting her teeth, she took out two puppets, one on her left and the other on her right. Her strongest ones but also the ones she never wanted to use anymore.

The man and woman puppets moved forward, one was now carrying a halberd while the woman from a distance away pointed her rifle toward the ghoul.

The ghoul's body right now barely had any flesh left. It only had one arm and part of its head was also gone.

Xue Fang could already see the ghoul was beginning to regenerate, but she had hope. If she could damage it further, there should be a way to kill him.

Her gaze focused on the crack on the ghoul's head, looking for its core. Part of his chest had already opened, showing his heart that was no longer beating. She hoped the core should be located in the brain.

Xue Fang didn't believe it didn't have one as he was reined like a puppet.

The man's halberd spun through the air targeting the ghoul's head, it barely raised its hand to block, but even this was enough to stop the attack. One almost busted hand holding a sword blocked a full-blown attack of her strongest puppet.

She clicked her tongue, and from her father's puppet's hand, a gap opened, taking out a gun barrel, pointing at its head.

BANG!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The bullet shot directly on the ghoul's face, creating another gaping hole. It was one with a huge caliber and enhanced with qi and mana.

But even this was not enough. The ghoul slashed forward, launching Xue Fang's dad a distance away till he crashed into the ground.

Her mother began shooting, emptying all the bullets, all targeted on the ghoul's head.
