Chapter 768: She Is a Friend of Mine

He was a Martial Lord fighting a teenage vampire girl but could not subdue her with an all-out palm attack. Silver Dragon knitted his brows together. He realized it would not be easy to defeat her. However, he would finish what he had started. It was useless to regret his decision.

“Attack, all together now!” he shouted to his subordinates.

Roughly ten of his men responded immediately. Knives and swords flashed through the air, and arrows and bolts were let loose accurately. These men were hunters with a lot of experience, and Ghost became their target. They dealt with her in the same way they would an exotic beast.

Ghost kept dodging, but their sharp arrows and bolts, knives, and swords inflicted some injuries. They left wounds, but that only served to annoy her.

“You are going too far!” she shouted out.

She gave them an angry stare. Blue flames flickered in her almond-shaped eyes. Then, she lifted her hand and angrily waved it toward two of the mercenaries who attacked her. A powerful blast of wind hit the two men.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The wild wind was so strong that it shredded their clothes. The men went flying back and did not stop until they hit a large ancient tree. Ghost used the same move on a few more of them. She sent another gust of strong wind and those men ended up just like the first two.

Clenching his teeth, Silver Dragon unsheathed his knife and ran toward Ghost. He threw his knife at her, showing no mercy.

Ghost reacted quickly. She took a step sideways and another step back to dodge the strike. The knife whizzed past her face. The wind generated from the strike ruffled the bangs on her forehead. Ghost immediately threw out her palm at Silver Dragon’s face.

Silver Dragon quickly recovered his knife to block the attack.

Clang!

Ghost’s fair-skinned hand hit the knife, and it produced a metallic ring.

Silver Dragon felt his arms go numb. He lost control as he retreated and finally steadied himself after about ten steps. He lifted his head to look at Ghost in surprise, and said, “Why has this vampire woman suddenly become stronger?”

He was a Martial Lord of the middle stage. Their first combat exchange was a tie in strength. However, her strength surpassed his when her eyes turned blue. Her existing power should be as strong as a Martial Lord at the peak level.

He made his observation astutely, for Ghost was stronger, but it was just that she possessed little experience. As a result, they were almost at par in combat. Besides, Silver Dragon had his subordinates. In his eyes, it was a sure win for him.

“HARRGH!”

He shouted and charged forward again.

Ghost parried every blow he threw at her. As her fair-skinned hands moved, strong winds kept on churning. The rest of the mercenaries went flying as the wind hit them. They slammed against tree trunks, breaking many trees as they soared through the air.

“Chick, you are so beautiful. I am sure it will feel incredible with you under me. I want to taste you.” Silver Dragon intentionally spoke lewdly to irrigate Ghost in an attempt to fluster her so that she would expose her flaws.

Then his other subordinates did the same to humiliate her with off-color remarks.

“Haha, haha… Boss, it will be more than just incredible. This vampire chick is one of a kind!”

“That’s right! Look at that tiny mouth. It looks inviting.”

“Are all the chicks of the Sucking Blood Clan so pretty? Why don’t we go to the Dark Castle someday? We will capture all of them and sell them to whorehouses for men to enjoy. Haha, haha…”

Suddenly, the forest rang with obscene language.

“Shameless, filthy pigs!” screamed Ghost.

She lost her temper. Clenching her teeth, Ghost launched a swift series of attacks. The force of her energy swept through the air. A wind was blowing wildly across the battlefield where she fought with Silver Dragon. The dead leaves, gravel, and dust on the ground lifted into the air as they battled on.

“Great. Here comes my opportunity!”

Silver Dragon gave a sly smile. He pretended to dodge a palm attack from Ghost. But in fact, he moved behind her and threw a solid palm strike on her back.

“URGHH!”

Ghost spat out blood. She staggered forward after losing her footing and almost fell to the ground.

The other mercenaries quickly advanced and surrounded her. They hooked Ghost to a sharp iron claw and then used a thick rope to tie her hands together. In a blink of an eye, they caught the bleeding vampire girl.

“Assh*le!”

Ghost clenched her teeth. She tried to struggle out of the claw, but the iron claw was like barbwire. Whenever she moved, it would bite into her flesh. The pain was so sharp that she could not help but scream.

“The more you struggle, the more painful you will feel. Stay there quietly!” said Silver Dragon coldly.

His voice sounded indifferent and evil. His eyes were full of greed and malice.

“Boss, we will be rich!” said Camel. He stood next to Silver Dragon, and his eyes lit up as he gazed at Ghost.

“Of course. This girl is from the Sucking Blood Clan. Is there another mercenary group in the Mu City that has captured a vampire? The Silver Wing Mercenary Group will be famous. Everyone, we will enjoy a glorious life together,” said Silver Dragon proudly.

“Long live our mighty boss!” shouted Camel as he bootlicked his leader.

The others followed Camel’s lead and shouted, “Long live our mighty boss! We’ll have excellent wine, delicious food, and pretty women.”

“Enough. Don’t flatter me. Tie the vampire chick securely!” Silver Dragon lifted his hand to interrupt them. However, his expression showed he appreciated their flattery.

Then, Silver Dragon finally remembered Xiao Luo was there too. He walked over and patted Xiao Luo on his shoulder. He said with a smile, “Bro, I have sought justice for you. We have captured the vampire chick. You should take some credit for that as well.”

Ghost threw Xiao Luo a desperate and hateful look. Her pretty face looked dismayed. She looked as if she was saying, “You turned out to be one of them.”

Xiao Luo was expressionless. He glanced at the blood-covered Ghost. Then he asked Silver Dragon, “What are you going to do with her?”

“We are taking her to the Mu City to sell her, of course. You are a hunter, so you might be ignorant of the price we could charge for a vampire chick in Mu City. We, the Silver Wing Mercenary Group…”

Suddenly, he stopped talking. Xiao Luo had launched a surprise attack and stabbed Silver Dragon’s chest with a dagger that he hid in his sleeve. Xiao Luo was like a lurking viper in the shadows, striking his opponent with a fatal blow with no warning.

Silver Dragon stared down at the dagger stuck in his chest. He lifted his head to gaze at Xiao Luo, hardly able to believe what had happened. “You… you… why…”

He had never thought Xiao Luo would harm him. It was a decisive attack that was executed with lightning speed. Even a Martial Emperor would not have been able to dodge it, let alone Silver Dragon, who was only a Martial Lord. Blood kept oozing from the wound and dyed his clothes red.

Xiao Luo had even surprised the Duck Emperor, who was hiding in his pocket.

The duck did not sense Xiao Luo’s intent to kill at all. Like a wolf hiding under sheepskin, Xiao Luo looked harmless. So, it was easy for him to execute the fatal attack when the enemy let his guard down. The timing was precise, and the dagger pierced through Silver Dragon’s heart. It was a strike that even an Immortal of the Great Heavens could not escape.

Xiao Luo looked at Silver Dragon and promptly replied, “Did I not tell you? She is a friend of mine!”
