Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

'I don't know, maybe to make sure we will return. Well, it doesn't matter.

Even if they think they were hostages, there is nothing they can do.'

'We don't know how strong the Guardian is. How can you still be so calm?'

MingYue asked about this again since she felt worried.

Normally, if it's about his family, Alex wouldn't take any chances, but now he seemed calm, leaving behind his mother and sister in the midst of their enemy.

'We are your family, not your burden… That is what mom told me.'

'I see… so you have no choice.'

'Yup, if I still keep them like a burden, she will lash out at me.

And believe me, MingYue, that is the last thing you would want.

I have faced so many things till now, but honestly, my mom still scares me the most.'

MingYue rolled her eyes.

She found it ridiculous.

But deep down, she wondered if her mom were there for her, would she feel the same?

Would she act the same?

Time passed; the red door opened as Kurone returned.

"I have got a reply. I will bring you back to our clan to meet with our Emperor."

"Beast Emperor…"

Alex had heard about them, but now that he was going to meet one, he felt excited.

He wondered how strong they were and what kind of things he could learn from them.

"But before that, both of you will go with me to take care of the wave."

"Isn't it just C-rank? How could it still not be finished?"

"Do you think C-rank is that easy? Sending a few immortals and being done with it?

Before you came, I was on my way to go there."

"Alright, let's go."

Alex was happy he could see the situation at the frontline now.

They walked through the teleportation formation and then reached the battlefield.

BOOM!! BANG!!!

SWOOSH!!!!

Alex tilted his head as an axe flew just right beside his head, then crashed into a wall behind him.

His lips twitched. If he were late just a few seconds, that axe would have probably pierced through his head.

In front of him was pandemonium; a clash of swords and energy was everywhere.

The immortals were outnumbered. As for the enemy, Alex recognized them.

It was an army of goblins, but each looked different from the ones he recognized.

They had bulkier bodies, height twice that of normal goblins but still less than high goblins.

The way they moved made Alex think of murim novels. Different from cultivators that used qi externally most of the time with weapons and flashy secret arts, the goblins mostly used martial arts techniques.

Their movements were quick; their attacks cut through qi and energy, dissipating them.

The one that led seemed able to reverse it back to the opponent, almost like taichi.

'This kind of fighting style exists? The universe is really vast.'

Kurone's body turned into a shadow, then slipped through the darkness.

In the field, a cultivator spread out his domain, but the goblin punched forward.

His movement looked normal, but the shockwave he created pierced through the qi, dispersing the domain.

The goblin's feet stomped the ground as it dashed forward, reaching the cultivator; its fist arrived inches away from his face.

At this moment, Kurone appeared from the shadow behind him. With a swift motion, the dagger pierced through the goblin's neck.

Alex whistled, "Should we join the fun, MingYue?"

But no one replied. Alex turned his gaze, then realized MingYue had already disappeared from his side.

She had already entered the battlefield, her qi bursting forward mixed with lifeforce, creating a rain of ice lotuses.

The petals were sharp, massacring many of the goblins.

'Weird, did I focus on others too much that I didn't feel her move?'

Alex did feel that lately, he focused more easily, but sometimes, it was to the point that he forgot his surroundings.

He thought this was an after-effect on his brain after he lost his emotions.

'Oh well, I have time to look at the side effects later. For now, this is a good chance to increase my fighting experience.'

While MingYue fought, polishing her secret technique, Alex entered the field using only his fists.

He just used life force energy to strengthen his body.

After looking at MingYue's fight, Alex concluded these goblins could not disperse lifeforce.

He appeared behind one of the goblins, his feet kicked them in the knee, making them fall to the ground.

Alex's attack caught them off guard, as he purposely looked for one that was busy fighting against another immortal.

Blood seeped from his hand, then turned solid into a sword.

He tried to decapitate the goblin, but with inhuman flexibility, the goblin dodged.

It then did a backflip, kicking Alex in the face.

'Damn, not as easy as I see.'

Alex was trying to replicate Kurone's attack, but it seemed to hide his presence was easier said than done.

Even after trying to press the energy fluctuation, making sure it was all done internally, the kick barely left any damage on Alex.

He pushed through it, then choked the goblin by the neck. With a swift motion, he broke it.

The immortal that Alex helped was not happy with his interference, but Alex didn't want to waste time with inner conflict.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He looked at Alex for a moment, then left toward a different area.

Meanwhile, Alex checked out his talisman; he acquired 10 contribution points for killing that goblin.

His gaze then turned toward the sky, where one of the leaders of the goblins was fighting Elder Xue.

"The fight seems in stalemate, different from the goblins down here; the one above wore many artifacts."

Wings came out from the goblin's back, but they were attached to their armor.

The wings themselves were made from pure energy.

Looking to the other side, Alex finally saw the rift. Its appearance was very different from what he thought.

It was a huge portal the size of a skyscraper with cracks all around it.

The space was very unstable.

It was like the whole space collapsed, creating an entrance to the void.
