"Whew~ Good thing I ran fast!"
Still shaken, Wu Di arrived at another part of the uninhabited zone and finally relaxed.
In fact, at the very last moment, he had vaguely seen Sweet Mask undergo Monsterization to block the attack.
If Wu Di had not left then, the two of them would probably have fought to the death. After all, Monsterization had always been Sweet Mask's greatest secret.
"No matter what, it's good that the mission is complete. We'll deal with the future when it comes."
Wu Di could already imagine that if he ran into Sweet Mask at the Hero Association in the future, Sweet Mask would probably chop him to death on sight.
Half a day later, the weakened state caused by using his aura had faded by more than half, and Wu Di continued searching the nearby area.
By now, the sun had set, and the uninhabited zone shrouded in darkness carried an air of danger.
"Hm?"
Wu Di stopped walking. He kept feeling as though a pair of eyes was watching him from within the darkness.
Several shadows darted through the darkness at high speed. Just as Wu Di went on full alert, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck.
"What the hell was that?"
Smack~ Wu Di struck like lightning. He felt himself grab something furry, and under the faint moonlight, he saw that it was a bat.
Blood still stained the corners of the bat's mouth as it let out a shrill cry in the night.
Splat~ With a slight squeeze from Wu Di, the little bat exploded, spraying blood everywhere.
"Since you're here, stop playing these pointless little tricks."
Wu Di's gaze was sharp as a torch as he stared fixedly at the street swallowed by darkness.
"I never expected a human to actually dare enter this place. Saves me the trouble of going out to hunt."
A sinister-looking man dressed in formal attire slowly emerged from the darkness, his crimson tongue licking his lips.
"Monster Association, Demon-level executive, Vampire Count."
Rather than being alarmed upon seeing the monster clearly, Wu Di was delighted. The purpose of this trip was to find Demon-level Monsters and complete the Slaughter Order.
However, the monsters of the Monster Association were powerful, and this place was close to the Monster Association's nest. If he was surrounded by them, he could easily lose his life.
"I can smell it. Your blood is exceptionally delicious."
Vampire Count's eyes gradually turned bloodthirsty as the scent of blood in the air stirred his desire.
"I can sense that you definitely have quite a few Talent Points."
Wu Di grinned. Tonight, he was destined not to return empty-handed.
Bang~ Wu Di pushed off the ground with both feet, his body shooting toward Vampire Count like a cannonball as he threw a powerful punch.
"Are you in such a hurry to die?"
Vampire Count nimbly evaded the attack. His hands transformed into sharp claws and slashed out, instantly leaving bone-deep wounds on Wu Di's arm.
Wu Di paid no attention to his blood-soaked arm and relentlessly stuck to Vampire Count, throwing punch after punch.
Boom, boom, boom~ At first, Vampire Count was able to evade with his agile footwork while continuously inflicting wounds on Wu Di.
But after several dozen exchanges, he realized something was wrong. Wu Di's aura was growing stronger and stronger, and his attacks were becoming faster and faster.
"Looks like you're no ordinary human either. Interesting."
Thud~ At that moment, Wu Di seized an opening and blew off one of Vampire Count's arms with a punch.
Whoosh~ Vampire Count remained expressionless as his body suddenly transformed into countless bats, enveloping Wu Di.
"Get lost!"
Wu Di felt the bats madly sucking his blood, and his consciousness gradually began to blur. He immediately roared in fury.
"Savage Tornado!!!"
Rumble~ A terrifying tornado rose from the ground, and countless fist shadows blasted the bats apart one after another.
"What delicious blood."
Not far away, Vampire Count's somewhat damaged body gathered together once more. His face bore an unsatisfied expression. Clearly, Wu Di's attack had not inflicted fatal damage on him.
A swarm of bats flew out of nowhere in the darkness and merged into Vampire Count's body, rapidly healing his injuries.
"This guy's regeneration mainly comes from blood. There must be a blood bank he keeps nearby."
A glint flashed through Wu Di's eyes. There were countless monsters in the Monster Association. For a Demon-level executive like Vampire Count, gathering a group of Wolf-level and Tiger-level Monsters as a blood bank would be effortless.
As long as he destroyed the blood bank or got far away from it, he could greatly slow Vampire Count's regeneration. Then he could wear him down bit by bit.
"The blood bank is most likely underground. There's also a chance other powerful monsters are there. I have to lure him away from this place."
Having made up his mind, Wu Di turned and fled into the distance.
"Trying to run?"
A cold smile appeared on Vampire Count's lips. His body instantly transformed into a massive bat, its wings spreading as it chased after Wu Di.
Boom~ A pair of claws tore Wu Di's back to bloody shreds, but he only let out a muffled grunt before continuing to flee.
"Let's see how long you can hold out!"
Vampire Count's interest was piqued. Relying on his incredible speed, he continuously launched attacks, and before long, Wu Di's entire body was drenched in blood.
"That should be enough."
Wu Di suddenly turned around and threw a fierce punch. Vampire Count had been prepared and instantly blocked the attack.
"You think luring me here will help? With your recovery ability, it's the same as me having an endless supply of blood."
Vampire Count's tone was full of mockery. He had seen through Wu Di's plan from the beginning, yet he was not worried in the slightest.
This was absolute confidence in his own strength. Even if something unexpected happened, Wu Di would never be able to catch him with his speed.
"Is that so? Then go ahead and drink some more!"
A strange smile appeared on Wu Di's lips as the two figures clashed once again.
"Then I won't hold back!"
Vampire Count instantly appeared behind Wu Di, and two sharp fangs viciously sank into his neck.
"Likewise!"
Wu Di, who had seemed completely unable to resist, suddenly grabbed Vampire Count with his backhand and slammed him brutally to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
"System, activate the Pig God Experience Card. Devour!"
Roar~ Wu Di's mouth instantly transformed into a gaping maw as he bit down on Vampire Count.
"Damn it, what the hell is this?!"
Vampire Count's pupils constricted. At this moment, he actually felt the threat of death.
Splat~ At the last moment, Vampire Count's potential erupted, allowing part of his body to escape. However, more than half of his body had already been swallowed by Wu Di.
Ding~ Devoured the body of a Demon-level Monster. Obtained 500 Talent Points.
"Only five hundred points. Using this skill on you was such a waste."
Wu Di smacked his lips as though savoring the taste.
"Damn bastard."
Fear appeared in Vampire Count's eyes. He did not know how long it had been since he had last felt this way.
"We'll stop playing for today. Next time, I'll definitely catch you and make you part of my blood bank."
Whoosh~ After delivering that threat, Vampire Count turned into an afterimage and fled into the distance at high speed.
Boom~ Wu Di's aura erupted. The devouring just now had strengthened his body considerably, and his injuries had completely healed.
"You think you can just leave?"
