Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Vampire Nicole (Ten More)Ming Ye streaked through the air, trailing a blue radiance. You danced wildly in midair, sending Energy Ripples surging outward in every direction. The sheer force of this energy was so immense that every tree it touched immediately toppled, without exception.

    On the open ground, you danced faster and faster, every motion fluid and precise. Your mind went blank at first, and then countless martial arts moves flashed through your thoughts like a speeding train. Instantly, you extracted the most powerful and suitable moves, linking them together into a seamless sequence. Gradually, your mind emptied once more, forgetting all the techniques, letting your heart guide the flow.

    What you didn’t realize was that as you practiced on the open ground, the Earth began to shift and loosen around you. A white hand emerged from the soil, then another, then a third, a row, and soon an entire swarm!

    "Attack!"

    Your body suddenly vanished like a shadow. Wherever you passed, fierce winds erupted, whipping up dust and sand into swirling chaos.

    It was the first time you connected your speed with your attacks, and the first time you felt your whole body dissolve into the flow of energy. At this moment, you could feel streams of vitality coursing through your meridians—a sensation akin to walking in a scorching desert while wearing a spacesuit equipped with a temperature regulator.

    "Defend!"

    Ming Ye slanted downward in an instant. You spun on your feet, your body whipping like a thunderous tempest.

    "Break!"

    Leaping high into the air, you hurled the Ming Ye Sword from your hand. It shot toward a central point while you landed back on the tree where you had originally stood. Gazing down, you saw that the clearing where you had been training now bore a massive Tai Chi Diagram.

    Seeing your creation, you suddenly threw back your head and laughed uproariously. An uncontainable surge of boldness and pride overflowed from you: "My will seeks the azure heavens, yet the heavens are so high. But I will ascend and stand aloft, to gaze down upon all the mountains small!"

    Finished laughing, your body shot toward Ming Ye like an arrow loosed from its bow. As you gripped Ming Ye tightly once more, your left hand struck the ground while you shouted, "Annihilate!"

    The Bagua Map instantly erupted in a violent explosion. Brilliant blue flames radiated outward from its epicenter in a wave of legendary intensity.

    "Crack." A crisp sound reached your ears. You turned to see a vast army of Skeleton Soldiers standing before you.

    "Oh, here to help me test my blade?" you sneered coldly.

    However, the skeleton army suddenly halted its advance. They stood rigidly upright, and within your astonished gaze, you saw a black dot rapidly flying toward you from the far horizon.

    As it approached, you realized it was a bat!

    When the bat landed, it released a dazzling burst of light. From within that light stepped a breathtakingly beautiful woman. Even with your discerning taste, the sight of her made your heart pound involuntarily, and you couldn’t help but marvel that such beauty could exist in this world!

    She was indeed a rare beauty—not only did she possess a face that could steal souls at a glance, but her entire demeanor exuded an irresistible allure. Every slight motion, even a blink or a lift of her hand, seemed capable of effortlessly ensnaring one’s spirit.

    Her outfit was scandalously revealing—her chest was covered only by a small piece of black fabric shielding her modesty, and below she wore nothing more than a daringly narrow pair of briefs.

    Noticing your gaze fixed upon her, the woman smiled seductively and said to you, "Oh my, has the little handsome one in front fallen for me? Come over then, come to me, and I’ll make it so you never want to leave."

    You, however, chuckled and replied, "No, I was just wondering how you managed to, uh, grow such an impressive chest. Tell me your secret, so I can let my woman try it out later."

    "Crack!"

    As soon as you said that, several Skeleton Soldiers collapsed into powder on the spot. S~ea??h the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Your sharp eyes caught on quickly—you knew it was the woman who had destroyed those Skeleton Soldiers. With a cold laugh, you remarked, "They say the more beautiful a woman is, the more poisonous her heart. Today, I finally understand why."

    "Oh? Are you complimenting my beauty?"

    "You are indeed beautiful, but unfortunately, you’re not my type. I’m not interested in vampires." You angled your Ming Ye Sword downward, and its blade immediately burst into a radiant blue glow. "Come on then. This is the perfect time for me to test out my blade."

    "What an unromantic superior. Sigh, looks like I’ll suffer under your command in the future." The woman sighed dramatically, then suddenly bowed low before you and said, "Subordinate Nicole, reporting to you, my lord."

    "You... What are you doing?"

    Nicole giggled—a sound as enchanting as peonies blooming—and said with a charming smile, "I am your adjutant, my lord, tasked with overseeing fifty thousand Skeleton Soldiers under your command."

    "Wait... Since when did I get entangled with the undead?"

    "My lord, you are the Battlefront Left Vanguard of the General and one of His Majesty the Ghost King’s trusted War Generals. Are you unaware of this?"

    At the mention of the Ghost King, realization dawned on you. "Ah, right, that’s true. At the time, I had no other choice. That old skeleton forced me into it—I couldn’t beat him, so I had to compromise." Pointing to the field full of skeletons, you asked, "Are all of these mine?"

    "Yes, they are your most loyal subordinates and will never betray you."

    You nodded thoughtfully. "That may be true, but their combat abilities are far too weak to be of much use to me."

    "My lord, His Majesty the Ghost King has decreed that you may freely expand your forces within his territory. Anyone willing to join you can be incorporated into your ranks, regardless of race."

    "One more issue—I prefer working alone. How am I supposed to travel anywhere with such a massive army?" you said with a wry smile. "I’ve always been a loner. I’m really not used to being a leader, especially of skeletons."

    "That’s because you haven’t established your own territory yet. You must carve out your own domain with your own hands. For now, these Skeleton Soldiers are your only bargaining chip. Don’t underestimate them—once equipped, fifty thousand Skeleton Soldiers can hold off thirty thousand Regular Human Army troops."

    "Territory, huh... That’s troublesome. I imagine all the land here is already claimed, right?"

    "Yes, even in this neutral zone there’s an overlord: Witch Demon King Bangho."

    "That’s a problem. I can’t exactly march this Skeleton Army back into the Human World."

    "My lord, I have a suggestion."

    "Speak."

    "With the strength of your Ming Ye Divine Blade, defeating the Necromancer King should not be an issue. However, the Necromancer King commands an enormous army, which includes a Bone Dragon on the verge of becoming a full-fledged demon. This is one reason why even the Three Kings are hesitant to intervene in this area."

    Nicole paused before continuing, "Although the Necromancer King’s forces are indeed powerful, we can attack from within. One of his subordinates, Ig, is a member of the same Daqula Clan as me. He once pursued me romantically. If I were to serve as bait—"

    "I don’t agree." You cut Nicole off mid-sentence. "Only a weak man would put a woman on the frontlines. You may not be my woman, but you are my subordinate. I have a duty to protect your safety and dignity."

    "But it’s the only viable path for you." Upon hearing your words, Nicole’s heart fluttered slightly, though she quickly composed herself.
