Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Alex quickly cut it off, as he could feel the energy decaying to nothingness the moment it made contact with the dark energy.

Byakhee brandished his spear and pierced it toward Alex's chest.

CLANG!

Alex took out his hammer, blocking the attack, while his ability observed Byakhee's body. Even though it didn't show much, he could see he was crumbling.

He speculate the body was also not immune to the energy used before, which made the attack harm his body.

Byakhee launched a chain of attacks, not giving Alex a chance to make any movement.

With the distance between them, Alex was in trouble; his hammer was more effective in close quarters.

Against a spear with further reach that moved at faster speeds, he barely managed to deflect them, only thanks to him calculating his movements a few steps ahead.

Sparks flew in the air as the fight's intensity rose. Ying Xue saw what happened from a distance away. She raised her sword, then with one motion, threw it through the air.

Swoosh!!!

Byakhee responded. Dark energy bursts out from his body, materializing into a dark snake dragon. Its tail swiped, deflecting her spear back.

But then a dark shadow appeared, covering Byakhee, making him smirk. Alex utilized the opportunity, leaped forward, and then raised his hammer high, growing it to a size large enough to squash the dragon and Byakhee.

As it fell, a white fire ignited, engulfing the hammer, making it like a meteor hot enough to make the surroundings shimmer with heat.

BOOOM!!!

"GROOOARRR!!!!" The dragon flew forward, turning itself into a shield, blocking the attack with its body.

Sparks of energy exploded outward, creating pressure that scattered Ying Xue's hair in the wind.

She dashed forward, grasping her sword back. The wind that surrounded her body began to shift and move as if it had its own will.

Her qi surged, and the wind around her body raised in intensity, becoming a deadly, sharp tornado.

The tornado shot toward Byakhee, raising in intensity.

Looking at this, Byakhee didn't feel worried at all. He raised his spear, preparing to sweep the attack, but before he could do that, the tornado changed direction. It flew past the dragon before finally hitting Alex's flame.

SWOOOSH!!!

The wind fueled the flame, creating a hurricane of intense heat. Seeing this, Alex was surprised. He didn't know how Ying Xue could achieve this.

Elements created using someone's qi cannot fuse easily. Normally, instead of mixing, the wind would try to extinguish the flame that Alex made, but he didn't have time to analyze this.

Alex used the opportunity to send out his life force to raise the flame's temperature even further.

Byakhee raised his gaze, feeling the temperature rising, making him frown. A crack then started appearing on his face. "Seems I don't have much time; might as well enjoy it."

The eyes on his forehead glinted once more, dark energy surging out from his body.

"ROOOARR!!" A multitude of dragons roared, reverberating in the air as more appeared.

The swarm of dark dragons started biting into Alex's hammer, not caring about the heat.

'Dammit!' Alex cursed in his mind. He could see cracks starting to appear. It was only a matter of time before his embershift hammer got destroyed.

Crack!

The roar of a fox then reverberated in the area, but it could barely be heard in the middle of all this chaos. Then, the ringing sound of an explosion followed, and Alex decided to explode all the energy gathered in the hammer.

The rune barrier he created started having cracks, and the ground made from the artifact disintegrated into a crater.

But Alex felt this was still not enough. He took two metal containers, both with clear radioactive warnings.

Without hesitation, he threw them forward. Crimson's wings flapped out from his body, and he moved in front of Ying Xue. The wings grew in size, turning into a blood sphere that protected them both.

The metallic containers melted in no time, releasing the volatile liquid inside. The moment both of them mixed, a chain reaction began.

The atoms reached critical mass, mixing with the abundant energy in the vicinity, and an unprecedented fission began. Something that never happened before.

Alex only theorized the result would be a massive explosion. This was not wrong, but it turned out to be something even more dangerous. The mixed qi and life force boosted the radiation and heat, practically creating a miniature white sun.

Massive earthquakes spread all over the Midnight Clan, creating a huge fissure. The civilians who hadn't escaped far away met gruesome horror, their skin and flesh melting away as if they had never stuck together in the first place.

Moria quickly grasped Reina's body, then activated his talisman, teleporting both of them 1000 miles away from the impact.

The White Lotus Sect, Blue Lotus Sect, Morgana, and the rest also followed, but unfortunately, not everyone could act at the right time. Those that were too late, even by mere seconds, were not spared.

KA-BOOOM!!!!

A huge explosion detonated, taking out the whole town, followed by a huge mushroom cloud billowing into the sky. A 10-mile radius from the city turned into a wasteland, the trees disappeared, and almost no living beings survived.

Even those who survived still had to deal with the lethal poison coming from the enhanced radiation.

The explosion dissipated, and the smoke started calming down. In the middle of the crater, only two people were left standing. Byakhee was holding on to his spear with a grin on his face, almost all his flesh destroyed, leaving behind only bone. "Not bad, youngling, but now, can you live with the repercussions?" he said with a smug grin.

Alex's situation was also not the best. Half of his body was only bone now, while the other half was flesh that began regenerating.

Even with his protection, Ying Xue didn't survive the attack. She had already used many of her trump cards to block the attack, but none survived. The impact, based on her speculation, was almost as strong as an Immortal going all out.
