"Yo, running so fast, pretty good."
At this moment, Ning Beichen's voice sounded from behind her again, this time truly startling the Countess, making her show unprecedented panic.
The Countess, her face pale with shock, spun around and threw a punch.
However, her attack missed again, as Ning Beichen was no longer behind her.
While she was stunned.
Suddenly, Ning Beichen dropped from above her eerily, like a small mountain, pressing down on the Countess. She let out a miserable cry and her body plummeted like a large stone.
With a loud crash.
The Countess slammed heavily onto the flagstones of the ancient castle, kicking up a pile of dust.
This dust was not due to the castle's lack of cleanliness, but because the flagstones had been shattered by her fall.
The Countess looked extremely disheveled. Her high heels had long since vanished, and her expensive dress was now tattered.
The Countess had been stomped down by Ning Beichen from above and pinned fiercely to the floor of the ancient castle. Although it was only the weight of one person, it rendered the vampire Countess unable to flip over.
This was a terrifying thing for the Countess.
Because she knew how strong she was. From a biological perspective, apart from a very few specific species, there were not many creatures stronger than a vampire.
Yet, the person before her was merely a human, not one of those species capable of suppressing her. How could the Countess not be afraid?
"Yes!"
Meanwhile, the assassin Pei Di, who was hiding nearby, made a gesture of victory.
In his eyes, the King of Darkness could actually suppress the vampire Countess, filling him with shock and fear towards Ning Beichen, but also with admiration.
Because if Ning Beichen defeated the Countess, his life would be saved. He believed the King of Darkness was not someone who would go back on his word.
Furthermore, if the King of Darkness had wanted to kill him, he would have already done so.
At this moment, the Countess struggled several times but couldn't flip Ning Beichen. Seeing this, she opened her mouth and let out a roar that sounded like rolling waves, instantly spreading in all directions.
Following that, a red glow appeared in the Countess's eyes. Her bloodline erupted with an incredibly terrifying power. To break free from Ning Beichen, she decided to unleash the second stage of her bloodline power.
This was a power exclusive to her family, not possessed by all vampires.
Normally, this power was sealed within her bloodline and only used in times of crisis, and for a limited duration, only a few minutes.
After using this family power, she would become extremely weak, so she wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.
But now, she had no choice. Who could have imagined this King of Darkness was so formidable?
Indeed, his reputation was well-earned; she had underestimated the King of Darkness herself.
How could the King of Darkness, who made Western families tremble and revere him, be a simple person?
Ning Beichen, on the other hand, hadn't expected the Countess to have a chance to turn the tide. Instantly, he was flung away by the Countess.
However, Ning Beichen didn't fall. He simply somersaulted in mid-air and landed gracefully on the ground.
Ning Beichen was unfazed by being thrown by the Countess, as he hadn't used much strength at all. If he had, the Countess would have already turned into a bloody mess.
"King of Darkness, I will kill you! No! I will turn you into my blood slave, forever and ever, you will be my slave!"
After throwing Ning Beichen, the Countess finally stood up from the ground, looking disheveled and roaring at Ning Beichen like a wronged madwoman.
"Heh, then I wish you success."
Ning Beichen's scoff conveyed his attitude: he completely ignored her threat.
The Countess was almost driven mad by Ning Beichen's attitude. Coupled with the fact that she had activated her family power, which only lasted a few minutes, she had no extra time for verbal sparring with Ning Beichen. She immediately launched a furious assault on him.
The entire hall of the ancient castle was filled with her afterimages. An ordinary person wouldn't even be able to tell where she was, as her speed was too incredible, like bolts of lightning striking down, impossible to track.
But this did not include Ning Beichen.
No matter how fast the Countess was, it made no difference to Ning Beichen. With his current strength, dealing with the Countess was essentially a dimensional crushing.
"Die!"
The Countess transformed into a red streak of lightning and appeared before Ning Beichen. Her hands grabbed his neck, and without a second thought, she extended her fangs and fiercely bit down.
Unexpectedly, Ning Beichen didn't react or dodge. In the Countess's eyes, this meant Ning Beichen couldn't escape her speed.
This was a good opportunity.
She only had a few minutes to use her family power, so she had to seize this time and turn Ning Beichen into her blood slave before she became weak.
With a *crack*.
A splash of blood spurted from the Countess's mouth. She saw her fangs seemingly bite into a steel plate, instantly snapping her vampire fangs.
Pain!
The Countess let out a mournful scream of agony.
Only vampires knew how excruciating it was to break a fang. It was no exaggeration to say it was more painful than most tortures in the world.
However, vampire fangs were not easily broken; they were harder than diamonds. To break them, one would have to bind the vampire and saw them off.
But the Countess's fangs broke while biting Ning Beichen's neck. Doesn't that mean Ning Beichen's neck was harder than diamonds?
With her mouth full of blood, no matter how much she thought about it, the Countess could never have imagined what kind of person Ning Beichen was, or what his strength entailed.
Ning Beichen, however, felt no pity for her.
He possessed the Prajna Golden Body, impervious to blades and spears. This Countess dared to bite him, it was like lighting a lamp in a latrine – seeking death!
If Ning Beichen didn't need her alive to reveal James's whereabouts, he would have sent her home long ago.
However, this Countess vampire did possess some ability. The power she was currently unleashing was essentially comparable to that of a Grandmaster in the Eastern ancient lands.
It was just that Ning Beichen felt a bit embarrassed to say that he was no longer in the clouds, but in the atmosphere.
Let alone a Grandmaster, even a Great Grandmaster was nothing in his eyes.
What did that mean?
What else could it mean?
It meant they could be dealt with in a single move.
