Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

The cultivators gained control back over their qi. They then quickly jumped back, putting distance between them.

But just as this happened, the dark domain on the ground started spreading, following them. From it, many eyes opened up; it then shot shadow spears toward them.

BOOM!!!

In defense, many of the cultivators used their secret techniques and domains to block, but the shadows didn't stop there.

They grew in size, targeting every cultivator that still stayed on the stage.

Those below the golden core were easily pierced. Their bodies then shriveled away at high speed, leaving behind only their clothes.

The spike that hit the strong cultivator also started to contort and grow in size.

It began transforming into a humanoid shadow that looked exactly the same as the cultivator they faced.

"You wretched creature," one of the cultivators yelled. He blasted out, creating a huge flame in the form of a tiger.

The flame was colored green, giving out a weird vibe like anything that touched it would melt instead of burn. The shadow reacted by doing the exact same action, even creating a similar tiger, but the green flame color was darker.

"Hmph! You think you can copy the secret technique I have perfected for centuries?" the cultivator replied with a gloating tone. Discover stories at empire

His body moved, creating a motion like a tai chi master. The green flame tiger grew in size, then split into two.

One faced the clone's attack, while the other one leaped toward the attack.

The cultivator expected his flame to win or at least clash on the same level, but his eyes widened as he saw the darker fire beat it by a narrow margin.

The winning tiger leaped forward, opening its jaw to bite the cultivator. In retaliation, he took out a spear, then swiped toward it with his qi exploding green flame in a cone shape.

BOOM! The flame exploded.

The cultivator let out a satisfied smile as he thought he had won, but it only lasted for a moment before the crimson liquid was spat out from his mouth.

His eyes gazed down, locked on the black spear coming out from his heart. His qi started draining quickly, followed by his skin getting shriveled.

Alex looked at what happened with a frown. He could see not only qi but even the person's life force being absorbed.

His fingers glowed and started dancing in the air, creating many runes. Then, with a stomp, he sent the rune into a circular formation surrounding the arena.

The runes started corresponding to each other, creating a spherical barrier that covered the whole arena.

On the side, Gallen was now standing beside Reina, "You should leave now, this place is dangerous."

"No, Sir Alex is still fighting here, and where can I leave, father? It seems this whole place will turn into a battlefield soon," Reina replied while looking at the shadow.

The barrier Alex created turned the whole arena almost into a separate space, making others unable to see what was happening inside.

This also made the shadow domain that the being spread get cut off effectively, ensuring he could not absorb any more cultivators. However, despite this, the shadow didn't disappear; it kept fighting against the other cultivators.

Qi was clashing in the sky as the battlefield started expanding. Each one tried to bring their enemy further away, as fighting near other cultivators made things more chaotic.

They could easily get hit by random attacks or projectiles, putting their lives in danger. The clashing of domains also triggered even more chaos, as this meant they needed to exert power against each other.

The group started getting separated, the strong ones fighting for themselves, as others started regrouping together.

The number of people also became less now, as many used talismans to escape. Unfortunately, those that used it too late couldn't do this, as the domain from any strong cultivator disturbed the stability of the space.

Making teleportation something very risky.

These people were forced to band together, but they could barely survive against the onslaught of the shadow clone. Even though the clone was only a little bit stronger than them, they were able to coordinate perfectly.

Meanwhile, only a few of them were barely able to cooperate, increasing the number of casualties quickly. If anyone had eyes that could see souls now, they would see the sky filled with them.

Many chose to stay as they already lost their bodies, hoping to learn or gain some insight watching the Titanic clash, while the rest already started leaving the area, afraid they would meet a more bitter end.

Unfortunately, this group would be the one that met their demise, as they met with Yang Fei.

Gallen looked at his daughter with a frown, "I don't know what relation you have with that boy, but you being here will only make things hard for me. And if he cares about you, even as a friend, he will feel the same.

You should leave for your academy, that place has many hidden monsters that can protect you. After this finishes, I will look for you there or send you a message using the usual method."

Reina replied with a snort, "Since when do you care about me that much?"

Gallen's gaze turned complicated. He let out a sigh, "Since when have I not cared about you? I know you hate me because of your mother, but you really don't understand the situation."

"How could I understand if you never tell me? You keep telling me it's not the time yet, but then when?

Look, father, I am not a kid. You can try to forcefully make me leave this place."

Her voice then turned cold as she continued, "But prepare for the consequences. I will fight with everything I have, and I know despite all this, I will still probably lose."

Reina then turned her gaze away, ignoring Gallen. With a helpless sigh, he looked at Moria, silently asking for his help, but Moria could only shrug.
