The atmosphere of the New Year permeates every corner, with crowds of people on the streets and a constant stream of vendors selling food, clothes, and toys.
Apart from Night White and his shadow guards who are pursuing him, one person runs while a group of people chase, unable to have a peaceful year.
Today is the fifth day of the lunar new year, and as usual, Night White is still on the run. Without Bai Li, Night White's progress is very slow, not to mention that Night White has no ability to speed up or fly. Running and resting is a waste of time, but Night White has no choice but to do so.
Although the black spikes on his shoulders give Night White the ability to fly, the consumption of demonic energy is also immense. If not handled properly, it is possible for him to fall from a height of ten thousand meters.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The sound of sharp winds cuts through the air and sweeps towards Night White.
Facing the attacks, Night White abruptly pushes off with his feet, using the rebound force to quickly dodge to the side.
"Splitch!"
"Splitch!"
An ice sword comes at Night White, grazing his clothes and almost cutting him into pieces. Fortunately, Night White dodges in time, otherwise the sword blades would have definitely shredded his clothes, leaving him exposed.
It seems to be the shadow guards of the blood clan. How did they arrive so quickly?
While Night White is momentarily stunned, purple lightning suddenly descends from the sky.
Feeling a strong sense of danger, Night White immediately looks up.
Only to see rolling purple clouds and surging thunder, a thunder dragon formed by thousands of bolts of lightning travels among the purple clouds, emitting resounding thunderous roars. It seems to be alive, overlooking Night White from the purple clouds.
"What terrifying lightning attack energy." Night White's pupils contract.
That thunder dragon is several meters wide, with lightning entwined around its body, making it even more dense and formidable.
"Annihilation! Meteor Dragon Roaring Thunder!" With a rough male voice, the thunder dragon in the purple clouds suddenly swoops down towards Night White.
"Boom!"
A continuous explosion, thunder blasting so intensely that the entire area trembles.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Flashes of lightning, just as the thunder dragon lands on Night White, a woman in a black robe stands in front of him. Black energy emits from her hands, blocking the Meteor Dragon Roaring Thunder.
The collision of the two energies creates an ear-piercing explosion.
For a moment, smoke fills the air and snowflakes flutter.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo..."
Night White keeps panting, still feeling lingering fear in his heart. He almost got struck dead just now.
"These shadow guards can cast mage-level magic just by raising their hands. As a mage with the Forbidden Spell of the three elements, I shouldn't be like this." Night White silently complains in his heart.
Night White lifts his head and sees a woman wearing a black cloak. Her appearance and features are unclear, but her eyes shimmer with icy coldness.
Night White's gaze lingers on her for a moment.
This woman exudes a strong aura of malevolence, like a witch from the depths of hell.
For some reason, Night White feels a strange sense of familiarity towards this woman before him.
After the smoke dissipates, the shadow guards are startled.
Who is this woman in the black robe? This question fills their minds.
"Who are you?" Captain Danila of the shadow guards walks over, staring at the person in the black cloak, and asks in a deep voice.
"I have no need to talk to a dead person." The woman's voice is icy cold.
A cold look appears on Danila's face. "Hmph! Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite."
Saying that, Danila orders to surround and subdue her.
Gradually, the woman's eyes start to radiate a faint red light, like a bloodthirsty demon, sending chills down one's spine. Then black mist surrounds her and a long spear appears in her hand.The gun body was as black as ink, with countless black patterns on the tip of the gun. It seemed alive, flowing on the long gun, emitting a faint "sizzle" sound, as if it was hungry.
"Swoosh!"
The gun shot like an arrow, and a person rushed into the ranks of the Shadow Guards alone. Wherever he went, heads were rolling, and not a single person survived.
"Ah...Ah...Ah..."
Bodies fell to the ground, emitting pitiful cries. The blood stained the entire snowfield, and the bones were scattered.
Night White stood behind, his face pale, sweat the size of a bean permeating from his forehead. Watching the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva, a chilling feeling rising in his heart.
Her gun was also extremely strange. After killing so many Shadow Guards, there was not a trace of blood on the tip of the gun.
So, there was only one explanation, her gun was bloodthirsty. What kind of divine weapon was this?!
Night White's face became more and more ugly, and his eyes were full of fear.
"This woman is too terrifying. Each of the Shadow Guards is at least a Forbidden Spell Mage, their martial arts are at least at the Ignition level. Almost all of them were killed by her with a single move. (Ignition is equivalent to the strength of a Forbidden Spell Mage, according to the setting)
She also took on the captain of the Shadow Guards, a Magus-level magician, showing that her magic proficiency is not low.
She killed these Shadow Guards first, and then sent herself to Lilia for the reward. After all, no one can refuse such generous rewards." Night White has started imagining how the woman in black robes would look when she receives the bounty.
"Chaos! Come and help me." Night White repeatedly called Chaos's name in his mind.
Chaos seemed to have evaporated from the world, without a trace of movement.
Night White continued calling unwillingly, he didn't want to suffer the punishment of the vampires, but still received no response from Chaos.
Just when Night White was about to give up calling, Chaos's voice came to his mind.
"What's the matter again? Blood girl." Chaos's tone seemed like he had just woken up, with a hint of laziness.
"There's a ferocious woman in black robes here. She may be a bounty hunter, and her strength is extremely strong. I can't defeat her at all. Can you help me get rid of her?" Night White asked urgently.
Chaos was momentarily speechless and didn't know what to say.
"Blood girl, you don't have persecution delusions, do you? You are no longer just a pure vampire now, there is demonic blood flowing in your body, and you are somewhat familiar with demons.
This woman in black robes is the tenth in the hierarchy, Huntress. Her ability is to see through the opponent's weaknesses and kill with one strike.
Moreover, you hold the Black Lock. Even if you face the encirclement of vampires, you don't need to fear. There are demon soldiers in the abyss who will obey your orders." Chaos said.
"Alright, I'm going back to sleep. Don't bother me if there's nothing else. I'll tell you what to do when I wake up!" Chaos finally said.
After hearing Chaos's words, Night White's eyebrows twitched twice. "Are you kidding me? Still sleeping? Are you playing with me!"
"If I don't sleep, how can I restore my strength? How can I help you with revenge? As her daughter, how much do you know about Lilia? How strong is she?""No, it's just that your voice sounds a bit strange," Night White frowned.
"My throat was ruined by Silu Leng, so my voice sounds a bit weird," Shizhi said, clenching his fist.
"Who is Silu Leng?" Night White curiously asked.
Shizhi took a deep breath and calmed down his anger, saying, "Silu Leng is the second-ranking intelligent angel in the Angel Sequencing, possessing a clever and cunning mind."
Upon hearing Shizhi's words, Night White asked again, "What about her combat power?"
"She is stronger than the Healing Angel, and she is skilled in calculations. She can even calculate and kill millions of people alone," Shizhi answered.
Night White furrowed his brows. It seemed that Silu Leng was a very formidable enemy, not strong in strength but skilled in calculations. If he could capture her alive and tame her, she could be useful.
"Let's go to the Sun and Moon Empire to find Qi Zhou. He should have a way to restore your normal voice," Night White said to Shizhi.
Shizhi nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Let's go!" Night White turned and headed towards the direction of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Shizhi followed behind Night White, always keeping up with his footsteps.
After the two left, a man covered in blood slowly moved his body and crawled out of the snow, his face filled with a fierce expression.
He quickly took out the hemostatic medicine from the storage space and took it immediately. After a while, the wounds on his body no longer bled.
"That weapon is so strange. Once it touches you, the wound will bleed until death," he said.
Fortunately, Daniela was powerful, and his own wounds were not too serious, otherwise Daniela would have died from excessive blood loss.
"Angels? Demons? I must inform Queen Her Majesty about the conversation between these two," Daniela spread his blood wings and quickly flew towards the direction of the Crimson Domain.
At the same time, Lilia watched the sleeping Yingtang in the crib and smiled with satisfaction.
"He finally fell asleep. Now I can finally rest," Lilia murmured, then gently stroked the baby's soft scalp, her face filled with a happy smile.
Afterwards, Lilia quietly left the bedroom, gently closed the door, and left.
After leaving the room, Lilia headed towards the backyard and arrived at a quiet courtyard. She sat under a osmanthus tree, looked up, and sniffed, "The fragrance of osmanthus fills the air, so refreshing! This place is so beautiful." Lilia sighed in intoxication, her eyes showing a hint of obsession.
This osmanthus tree only blooms during the New Year, and its petals are nurtured by dewdrops. It emits a rich and fragrant aroma. This flower is called Osmanthus Orchid, and its flowers are only the size of half a fingernail, but it is an extremely precious medicinal herb. It not only enhances the strength of cultivators but also has the effect of healing wounds and soothing the throat. It is a treasure that many mages dream of.
