Flesh shuddered, and bones trembled violently.
Blood-red energy splashed up like towering waves crashing against the shore, forming magnificent, shimmering billows beneath the Red Moon.
Vampire Zombie knelt on one knee. Most of one wing had been forcibly cleaved apart, dripping crimson blood.
The yellowish-brown talismans on his body fluttered. Many had shattered, and most had fallen off entirely, leaving him looking especially pitiful.
A blade wound on his back cut deep enough to expose bone.
Although his vampire bloodline was healing him, repairing such a powerful body clearly required time.
Xu Ye pressed his advantage.
He gripped the Black Blade, blood filling the pores of his arms. Clouds of steam poured from his skin, the result of blood surging rapidly through his body in an extremely short span of time.
He was hardly in good shape himself.
Given his physical strength, opening one vortex caused no side effects. Using a second left him exhausted for a while afterward.
As for a third...
One careless mistake, and his entire body might explode.
He stopped the vortices and charged forward in the instant before the side effects hit, driving the Black Blade toward the wound on his opponent's back.
Vampire Zombie abruptly turned his head.
The next moment, Xu Ye felt that no weapon should be in his hand. He instinctively released the Black Blade.
"Shit, it's [Disarm]. This monster really has a lot of sequence talents." Bandit Lord was startled.
Buzz!
As he used Disarm, Vampire Zombie's sharp nails suddenly lengthened, slashing toward Xu Ye's head.
Pop!
In that emergency, Xu Ye's head swiftly fled his body and floated in midair.
Vampire Zombie visibly froze for a moment, but quickly recovered. His figure blurred and dissolved into a pool of blood. When he reappeared, he was already behind Xu Ye.
