The vampire and Black Rose chased each other, traversing nearly half of the Eastern Domain.
Black Rose tried everything she could, employing various methods, but failed to escape the vampire's pursuit.
She didn't know that vampires were naturally sensitive to scent; once they remembered a person's scent, it was almost impossible to escape their tracking.
Finally.
Black Rose's spiritual energy was completely depleted, forcing her to stop.
Her expression was grim, her clear eyes flashing with despair. She resolutely placed the dagger across her throat.
"Tsk tsk, what a beautiful little lady."
The vampire stared at Black Rose's exquisite, flawless face, clucking in admiration.
Even with his harem of three thousand, he had never encountered such a beauty. He felt a stir of desire.
"It's not easy to die in front of us vampires. Even death isn't the end; your corpse can still be useful."
The vampire chuckled, revealing his four sharp, gleaming canine teeth. His predatory gaze raked over Black Rose's graceful curves, his eyes glowing green.
He said with a smile, "Come with me, and I won't mistreat you. I'll ensure you have wealth and glory beyond measure, inexhaustible resources for cultivation."
Black Rose, who had been resolved to die, inexplicably lowered her dagger. A brilliant smile bloomed on her face, filled with surprise.
"Hmph, a woman swayed by material possessions."
The vampire inwardly scoffed. This human woman was too materialistic, lacking any challenge.
Perhaps it was his overwhelming masculine charm that had subdued her.
He puffed out his bulging belly and walked towards Black Rose with what he considered an elegant gait.
"You're finished! My Mo Mo is here!"
Black Rose narrowed her eyes into crescent moons, gazing at the sky, her tone filled with pride.
The dark night sky lit up with a brilliant burst of light.
Old Yao appeared, carrying Ji Mo and a few others.
Ji Mo's face was etched with anger as he slowly drew back his small slingshot.
A bat demon dared to make advances on his Rose, and he would not allow it.
"Who is your man? That pervert covered in light and wearing tight leather, or that effeminate one, or that idiot aiming that broken slingshot at me?"
The vampire couldn't stand Black Rose's proud expression. He was furious, his killing intent surging.
He looked down on Ji Mo and the others with contempt, not taking them seriously at all. He wondered why Black Rose was so proud.
He could crush these weaklings with a flick of his wrist.
Indeed, women in love had zero IQ. She actually believed these misfits could deal with him?
"The fool with the slingshot is the Mo Mo you speak of? You actually like this kind of man, how laughable."
The vampire's killing intent erupted. His sharp claws creaked as he clenched them, roaring venomously, "Good, I will tear your stinking man to shreds in front of you, then devour him bite by bite."
He flashed a cruel smile, imagining the sorrow and despair Black Rose would feel seeing her beloved die before her eyes. The scene would surely be spectacular.
"Devour my Mo Mo?"
Black Rose smiled. "You'll be the one devoured, but you're so unsightly, my Mo Mo might find it too disgusting."
Unsightly?
Disgusting?
The vampire had never been so insulted. He felt like his lungs would explode. "Foolish woman, you probably don't know my power. I am Adman, one of the Four Great Figures of the Ghost Realm, a powerful being at the peak of the ninth level of the Immortal-Mortal realm. Dealing with these trash is as easy as crushing an ant."
Black Rose shook her head. "It's you who doesn't know Mo Mo's power. In his eyes, you're probably less than an ant. You're finished; he's about to shoot you."
Over there, Ji Mo had fully drawn back his slingshot, ready to attack.
"Ha, let him shoot. I won't dodge..."
Adman snorted with disdain. Was he afraid of a slingshot?
But the next second, his scalp tingled, and the hairs on his body stood on end. "Holy crap, a divine artifact!"
He saw the slingshot in Ji Mo's hand suddenly undergo a drastic transformation, emanating flowing light and sacred energy, appearing to be a divine-grade equipment.
Adman trembled with fear and immediately flew into the sky, fleeing with all his might.
Not dodge?
Anyone who didn't dodge would be an idiot.
However, could he escape?
He couldn't dodge or resist. His body was struck, and he instantly exploded into a mist of blood.
One drop of blood was particularly peculiar, carrying faint soul fluctuations. Wrapped in runes, it burrowed into the soil as it fell to the ground and made its escape.
"I seem to have become quite strong recently!"
Ji Mo was also startled by the effect of his attack.
He guessed it was the result of absorbing that mysterious power from Chi Yan when he was in the Demon Realm.
He then felt a little smug, believing he had finally risen.
Who said one couldn't cultivate and still be powerful?
Perhaps in the future, he could achieve the Dao through his physical body, and a mortal form could rival gods.
He felt he had found a shortcut to becoming stronger: seeking out and absorbing such special energies to strengthen his body and undergo transformation.
Ji Hanhan straightened his back and asked, "Wen Jian, Xuan Yang, how was my shot?"
He hoped to see his students' astonished and amazed expressions, followed by looks of utter admiration.
However, Wang Wen Jian and Xuan Yang appeared indifferent, offering perfunctory praise: "Teacher is invincible, Teacher is awesome!"
Astonished?
Shock was impossible. This was just the teacher's basic operation.
They were already used to it.
Ji Mo's straightened back immediately sagged. Feeling unappreciated, he became incredibly dejected.
He turned and saw Ao Li Ge, standing by like a wooden chicken. This reignited some confidence in him, and he suddenly found Ao Li Ge incredibly pleasing to the eye.
Indeed, men who believed in the light had good judgment!
"What a shame, such good ingredients!"
Xuan Yang lamented seeing the ninth-level Immortal-Mortal vampire blown to pieces.
If the teacher had cooked his flesh and blood, its medicinal effects would surely have been astonishing. Perhaps eating a few bites of the meat would have allowed him to break through his cultivation.
"No eating bats."
Ji Mo slapped Xuan Yang on the forehead.
Old Yao landed with them.
Black Rose had put away her dagger. Her slender fingers twisted the hem of her clothes as she gracefully walked up to Ji Mo.
"Mo Mo!"
Those two short words conveyed deep longing. She couldn't tear her gaze away from Ji Mo's face.
It had been a long time since they last parted, and the longing in her heart was almost overflowing.
"Rose."
Ji Mo met Black Rose's gaze, and his heart inexplicably skipped a few beats.
The two looked at each other affectionately, and a faint scent of romantic affection began to permeate the air.
"Cough cough..."
Ning Wen Jing feigned a cough. If this continued, what would happen? Love sparks were about to fly, and they might kiss at any second, perhaps even a French kiss.
She felt a strong sense of crisis.
Ji Mo and Black Rose immediately felt embarrassed and quickly averted their gazes, their faces flushed red.
