Chapter 227 - A Single Crippling Blow (2/2)

His powers had gotten to levels so frightening that he was considered a walking terror in the clan.

His reserves and experience were massive. Despite being an Invincible Vajra himself, his actual powers were far above those of the usual Invincible Vajras.

Yet, that full-powered attack of his was actually repelled by the Count, who had only used one finger.

He felt his hands trembling slightly, and the shock almost made him puke blood.

The Count’s powers were indeed every bit as terrifying as he remembered them to be, far more terrifying than that of his own.

However, backing down was not an option for him, as it was the WuTang Clan that was right behind him.

If he were to lose the fight, there was probably no one else among the disciples capable of stopping the Count.

“Hah! Come on!” Jingyunzi roared and took a huge leap.

At that moment, one of the vampires was no longer able to contain themselves, charging out to meet Jingyunzi.

That vampire was also at Invincible Vajra Level, and their powers were extremely frightening.

The power of that vampire was so fearsome that one could even smell the stench of blood after they opened their mouth.

“You’re dead!”

Jingyunzi struck without any hesitation. His sword went right through that incoming vampire.

“Arrrgghh!”

That vampire shrieked in terror, and their body began to crumble under the pull of some inexplicable forces. They eventually were reduced to wisps of flames, then disappeared without a trace.

That was an additional ability imbued in Jingyunzi’s sword.

The WuTang Clan’s cultivators might have been of Taoist heritage, but their knowledge regarding ways of taking out dark creatures was every bit on par with that of Buddhists’.

One could even say that the vampire was really unlucky enough to meet their bane, being completely killed off by a single attack.

Jingyunzi panted hard. While that thrust did not seem to be something extraordinary, it had actually exhausted most of his energy.

He was of advanced age and was not an immortal like the Count was.

Such intense battles were more than enough to drain him severely.

Killing that vampire might have looked easy, but it had actually been very, very hard on him.

Seeing just how many vampires there were still behind the Count, the disciples were on the edge of falling into despair.

However, after seeing how formidable Jingyunzi was by how he ferociously brought down that vampire, killing one that was an Invincible Vajra Level, the morale among the clan’s cultivators spiked.

“Hmph. I didn’t expect a damned remnant like you would not only live this long but had actually managed to get this far in cultivation as well.” The Count’s expression remained ice-cold, and there was hardly any change to his expression. He looked completely unfazed by what happened. “If the world changes even further, you might actually get to Celestial Realm. Speaking of Celestial Realm, I remember that old fart being at that level as well. Hehe, but I guess you’re out of luck now.”

The Count shouted and pointed his finger again, bring about a crimson beam that was far thicker than the previous one at Jingyunzi.

Pfftt!

Jingyunzi roared and swept his sword again.

However, that attack did not manage to break that crimson beam, and the sword was sent flying by the shock of that attack instead.

The beam then punched through his left shoulder.

He was sent flying right away. Blood spilled all over the floor shortly after.

He was severely injured by just a single move. If it had not been for his quick reflexes enabling him to evade that fatal hit in time, he most probably would have been killed.

Despite what just happened, the disciples of the clan present remained dead silent.
