"Boy, you better not die," the lord of the underworld said as we arrived at the source of the energy wave, "you know I won't be able to help you so once you notice something's wrong, you have to run."
"Also, here's a bag of blood," he said as he tossed me a bag of blood, "I know your vampire form is starving."
"Thanks," I said as I quickly transformed to my vampire form before drinking the blood.
Although I didn't need to consume blood in both my human and vampire form, my vampire form required since I had sustained some major injuries without replenishing my vampire form besides, I felt my vampire form getting closer to going berserk if I didn't consume blood soon enough.
Also, I had already told Sophie about my vampire form and a little bit about the system users since the person we may fight when we got to the energy wave would definitely be a system user but, as for the lord of the underworld and other lords, I didn't tell her anything about them since knowing about them wouldn't do her any good so it's better if I told her about it later in the future.
"Girl, take this pendant," the lord of the underworld said, "break it as soon as you're about to be killed, it would create a temporary barrier that would last long enough to help you escape."
"But, didn't you say you're here to help us?" Sophie asked, "so why aren't you going to help us take down the dude."
"There some things you shouldn't know about for now," he said before continuing, "I would have loved to help you but, I can't and that's why I gave you something to use for your protection."
"Alright Sophie, let's go in," I said as I held her hand before walking to the center of the energy wave.
"Ah, another one has finally arrived," I heard a voice as a boy of about 27 years jumped down from a tree branch, "alright boy, come fight me."
"It's been a while since I met someone like you," he said.
"And what if I'm not interested in fighting you? Besides, it's not like I'll gain anything from fighting you," I said.
"Well if you're not interested in fighting me then, I'll beat you up, ravish your girl in front of you and maybe you'll be willing to fight me then."
"You bastard, someone like you would never lay a finger on me," Sophie retorted angrily, "I'll just kill you before you can think of even coming close to me."
"Haha, you look cute when you're angry," he said with a chuckle, "how about we make a deal, become my woman and I'll spare you life otherwise, I can't tell what will eventually happen to you."
"In your dreams," Sophie replied angrily.
"No wonder they say people loves taking advantage of nice people. You know I was trying to be nice," he said with a sigh, "but since you don't appreciate my kind gesture, then don't blame me for being rude."
"Sophie, watch out," I yelled as I quickly pulled her away.
"Shit," I cursed as I looked at the damage his last attack had caused with just a simple attack.
If only I had gotten stronger then, I wouldn't be stuck in this kind of situation. Although said if a person cultivated to a really high level then no one would be able to contend with them, they were only right if they excluded the system users.
A peak Expert stage system cultivator could contend with peak Master stage cultivators with ease because of their unique system abilities however if system user users were to fight each other then it would be difficult to predict the winner of the fight since their cultivation and system abilities was also a factor that could affect their fight.
However in my current fight, Sophie and I had zero chances of winning since the person we were going against was probably a mid level Master stage space-time system cultivator while I was just an Expert stage cultivator with an underworld system.
"Stop struggling and graciously accept your deaths," he roared as he launched another attack at us.
"Go to hell," I shouted.
Although I knew our chances of survival was almost non-existence, I still wanted to rip apart the bastard.
"Congratulations, you've successfully pissed me off," I said as I dashed towards him with the kunai's the lord of the underworld had given me.
"Nice trick boy," he said as he solidified the space around his body, "but this won't work on me," he said as he twisted the space around my left arm amputating it in the process.
"*Gah*, I yelled in pain as I quickly transformed to my vampire form.
"Kai are you alright?" Sophie asked as she quickly ran towards me.
"You're worrying about someone else when you don't even have the ability to protect yourself," he said with a laugh as he launched an attack at Sophie.
"NOOOO!!!" I yelled.
"Tsk, old man you finally decided to show yourself," the boy said as he glanced at the lord of the underworld who had stopped the attack.
"What do you want? Why are you killing innocent people like livestock?" The lord of the underworld asked angrily.
"Old man, even if you know what we want, you don't have the ability to give it to us," the boy said as he stared at the lord of the underworld with a disdainful look, "and don't think you're safe because you're a divine being, very soon he'll be coming for you."
"Haha, you and your master dares to threaten me," the lord of the underworld said as he burst out laughing, "help me pass a message to that idiotic master of yours that he shouldn't bother 'cause I'll naturally visit him sooner or later."
"Old man, you've said what you want so will you excuse me, I still have an unfinished duel with your student," the boy said as the aura around him became intense.
"Humph, touch either of them and I'll see to it that I erase you from this world, both your body and your soul or better still, I'll torture your soul endlessly in the underworld," the lord of the underworld said as the heavy aura disappeared.
"Aren't you forgetting the pact you signed or do you want to- *arrgh*," the boy yelled as both of his hands fell off.
"Just because you have a strong master doesn't mean you can dare to talk to me talk less more of challenging my authority," the lord of the underworld said as he detached both of the boy legs.
"I'm sorry, please let me go," the boy began to plead.
"Unfortunately I can't, you should have taught of what would also happen to you once you started killing innocent people," the lord of the underworld said, "but don't worry, I'll send your corpse back to your master."
"Please don't," the boy screamed before his heart got pierced.
"Jeez, this guy is a demon," I muttered as I glanced at the lord of the underworld.
Although I knew divine stage cultivators were supposed to be strong since that was the highest possible cultivation level, the lord of the underworld was just too strong, he only used the air around him to kill the guy.
"How dare you call your master a demon," the lord of the underworld said in a child like manner, "seems like you need to be disciplined," he said as he began to chase after me.
"Ha I'm sorry, please don't discipline me," I said as I ran around despite I had sustained some serious injuries. There was no way I would let someone like the lord of the underworld discipline me especially when I was in a terrible shape so my only option was to run.
"Seriously, is this the best you guys can do?" Sophie asked with a deadpan look, "besides, what are we going to do with him?"
