Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the skeleton with a SLASH! A diagonal line appeared on the skeleton's face. SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! Zold launched another barrage of slashes, each cutting down the skeleton's bones like a knife cutting through butter.

Each slash caused a spark of electricity to flicker in the air.

The skeleton fell to the ground, then crumbled to dust, leaving only two lumps of useless metal. But Zold still chose to keep them in his storage ring; who knows what kind of unique attributes the metal has.

Just when he did this, BANG! A bullet tore through the air just inches away from him, creating electrical sparks as the bullet used was a good conductor.

The bullet hit another skeleton right in the forehead. But the skeleton didn't even flinch; its bony tail swayed left and right as it made a jump toward the group.

Emily clicked her tongue in annoyance, "I knew it; my gun is a bad match with undead creatures."

Quartz looked at the skeleton army that suddenly appeared, surrounding them from all directions. With a stern tone, she said, "Forget the skeletons; keep your eyes peeled for the parasite, Emily."

Emily nodded, raising her gaze to the maximum, then started spreading her Qi like a net surrounding the group while her eyes focused on Zold and Patricia.

Manipulating Qi outside her body was something she learned as she tried to experiment by fusing it with her abilities. Shooting out the light from her body came naturally to her as it was part of her abilities; the hardest part was controlling how much came out.

So when she tried this with Qi, it came easily to her, mixing it with her mana; she then formed it like a net, allowing her to know if anything touched it.

Looking at the number of enemies, Zold knew it was the best time to test his new skill.

Electricity started crackling on the dagger's sharp edge. Zold then threw his dagger toward the skeletons. In the past, he couldn't do this; the moment the electricity separated from his body, it would quickly disappear.

But now, after becoming a cultivator, he could fuse it with his Qi, allowing the electricity to survive as long as the Qi was supplied. Like a 'chain lightning,' the dagger moved at high speed, encircling a group of skeletons.

At the end of the hilt, a thin, sharp steel wire was connected to a device under Zold's arm.

When the dagger tightened the encirclement, with a flick of his hand, the wire started getting electrocuted.

ZAP! Crackle! The area brightened for a moment with the booming sound of thunder roaring in the air.

When it all settled, and the dagger returned to Zold's hand, all that was left were crumbled pieces of the skeletons.

Even though his lightning couldn't turn them to dust, with high enough voltage combined with the sharp wire chipping away at the skeleton's body, it was enough to cause fractures and structural damage to the skeletons.

Meanwhile, Patricia was now high in the air. She jumped toward a group of skeletons with her great sword pointed downward.

One of the skeletons was holding a shield, which it raised upward to meet the great sword head-on. If the skeleton were still alive, it would know that this was a bad decision, but it didn't even have a brain to think.

The skeleton moved autonomously, seeking to attack any living creature in the area. The shield cracked under the weight of the sword. Even though it didn't completely break, the skeleton's body was too fragile to hold against the weight.

BANG! Patricia focused her Qi on the sword tip, creating a shockwave of explosion. Smoke rose up in the air as the ground cracked into a small crater.

Alex was oblivious to what was happening outside. Patricia didn't have time to inform Alex of the number of enemies she faced.

Olivia looked from the terrace, focusing her senses to feel any disturbance from the mana in the air. She was trying to find who was controlling all these skeletons.

They could try to defeat all the enemies, but it would be a waste of time and energy.

At the same time, Alex was in the market.

He could see many Felidaeans walking around, and there were many stalls on the street selling various things, from street food like meatball skewers to accessories and clothing.

He then saw a few tables arranged where many Felidaeans were seated in groups; in one of them, Lily was seated. Her finger held a skewer of meat, but her eyes seemed distant as if her mind was elsewhere.

Sitting across from her, Alex purposely made a loud sound, bringing her mind back to reality. "Sorry about that, but I really can't stand that bastard."

"Who is he?"

"Before you tell me to score people based on how bad they are, for that bastard, even zero is too good."

"Is he one of your pursuers? Based on the bangle he wears, isn't he already married?" Alex asked.

He wants to know more about how the Felidaeans live as it would help him make decisions on how to interact with these people. Blaire was just one of the many who would come to him.

"He used to be, but since I never gave any response to him, he then changed his target to my childhood friend, Sasha," Lily said while her eyes turned solemn.

"That still doesn't explain why you hate him that much. Did you have a big fight with your friend because of their marriage?"

"If only it's that. She has been missing for years now!" Lily said with a raised tone, then took a deep breath before starting to tell Alex what happened.

She didn't feel it needed to be hidden since it's common knowledge here; the lives of royalty are often exposed in the news, becoming entertainment for normal people, just like how celebrities are treated in Alex's world.
