Chapter Eighty-Six: The Vampire Queen

The scene of sensual beauty Chu He had imagined never came to pass. When Su Cheng entered the upstairs room, the queen had already changed into a black, tight-fitting tailcoat. Like a sorceress from a film, her deep blue eyes reflected a bewitching light.

"Man, become my slave, and I shall grant you power and immortality."

A strange surge of spiritual energy spread outward. In the depths of the queen's gaze, a hint of crimson emerged, and her enchantingly seductive voice rang in Su Cheng's ears, making one want to obey her command without resistance.

"Yes, my queen."

Under the influence of the Enchanted Eyes, Su Cheng's expression changed. Like a puppet on strings, he stumbled forward in a dazed state toward the queen.

Seeing him walk up defenselessly, the blood in the vampire queen's eyes grew so intense it seemed ready to spill from her sockets, and a cruel curve lifted at the corners of her mouth.

Then she parted her vivid red lips, revealing two fearsome fangs like those of a vampire bat, and bit toward Su Cheng's neck with an intoxicated look.

Pop.

In the next instant, the figure of Su Cheng before the vampire queen burst apart like a bubble.

What was going on?

A sharp streak of blade light filled the vampire queen's eyes. Su Cheng's figure suddenly lunged out from behind the door, charging to her side in an instant, and drove the jet-black long blade in his hand into the queen's full chest.

The earlier Su Cheng had been a mirage created by his Nightmare Clown card.

What surprised him was that this woman was actually a vampire.

He had always thought vampires were creatures that existed only in films and novels, never imagining he would encounter a true vampire queen in the real world.

The trouble was that this vampire seemed to have decided he was a delicious dinner.

With a soft tearing sound, the blade pierced the vampire queen's chest, and a section of the tip emerged from her back.

A gush of blood burst from the wound like a fountain, splashing over Su Cheng's face and hair.

"Heh, heh, heh, you're really brutal, aren't you? You've made me so wet."

A strange flush rose on the vampire queen's pale face. Though her chest had been pierced, she showed no sign of pain; instead, waves of pleasure rolled over her like a tide.

What a terrible line.

Su Cheng grumbled inwardly. He did not want to keep dancing on the edge of danger, so he could only finish off this vampire as quickly as possible.

At that moment, the vampire queen's nails grew longer, bead after bead of blood dripping from their tips.

Her expression suddenly turned ferocious and monstrous. Snarling, she thrust her fingers viciously toward Su Cheng's chest.

Su Cheng lowered his center of gravity slightly, then brought his foot down hard on the vampire queen's soft lower abdomen. A terrifying force erupted. The vampire's face twisted in pain as she was sent flying five or six meters, smashing heavily into the wall.

Bang!

The vampire queen crashed a human-shaped crater into the wall, and cracks spread outward like a spiderweb.

In the banquet hall below, the wealthy young men drinking and boasting heard the commotion from upstairs, and strange expressions appeared on their faces.

Did they really have to get that wild? Someone might think there was an earthquake.

Shaking blood from the blade, Su Cheng fixed his gaze on the vampire queen, a grave look flashing through his eyes.

By now, the wound in the vampire's chest had healed completely. Her skin was again smooth and fair, not even a scar left behind.

"Could it be that vampires really cannot be killed?"

Su Cheng quickly rejected the thought. There was nothing in this world that truly lived forever; even gods and Buddhas ultimately could not escape death. Much less some inhuman, half-ghost monster.

With a long blade in hand, even a god would be cut down for you.

"You really didn't disappoint me. I can't wait to taste your blood!"

The vampire queen licked her red lips, her expression carrying a trace of seductive allure.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

Blood fell slowly.

An endless red spread outward.

Before long, the room Su Cheng occupied had become a hell of blood, and a vast pool of it appeared beneath his feet.

He stepped onto the sticky blood, and the floor became slick beyond measure, as though a single misstep would send him slipping to the ground.

Thick blood flowed slowly across the floor. The horrifying scene before him was enough to make one's skin crawl.

"Blood flows like a river!"

With a sharp cry, the vampire queen suddenly sent out one blood hand after another from beneath Su Cheng's feet, grabbing at him.

Blade light flashed repeatedly in Su Cheng's hands as he severed every blood hand reaching for him. Then he drew out the 98K sniper rifle and aimed at the vampire queen's head.

Spiritual amplification!

Fire burst from the black, hollow muzzle, and a spiritual bullet shot toward the vampire queen's skull.

The rifle cracked.

The 98K's headshot effect triggered, and the spiritual bullet pierced straight through the vampire queen's brow, exiting from the back of her head.

A blossom of blood bloomed between her brows, but in the next moment the wound vanished at once.

Su Cheng had never pinned his hopes on a single bullet being enough to annihilate this vampire. Seeing that bullets were useless against her, he immediately drew his blade and charged.

The instant he rushed forward, the blood on the floor condensed into a giant crimson palm and slapped toward him.

Holding his blade with both hands, Su Cheng let a faint blue spiritual glow bloom across the black blade and brought it crashing down.

Slash!

The blood palm was cleaved apart in a single stroke. Su Cheng broke through the defense and savagely slashed toward the vampire queen's swanlike neck, pale, long, and elegant.

A razor-sharp arc split the air and struck her throat with brutal force.

The next moment, a thin line of blood appeared across her neck.

The line burst open. Shock flashed in the vampire queen's eyes, and her beautiful head fell from her shoulders, rolling to a stop at Su Cheng's feet.

"That's it?"

Su Cheng looked down at the vampire queen's head with a strange expression. He had expected a fierce battle, never imagining this vampire would die so cleanly.

At that moment, the severed head suddenly revealed a bizarre smile and spoke.

"Such a rough man."

Seeing that the decapitated vampire head could actually speak, Su Cheng's expression tightened. He swung his blade and shattered it.

Yet once destroyed, the head turned into a pool of blood and merged back into the vampire queen's body. In the next second, a new head grew once more from her neck.

"What exactly are you, monster?"

In his impression, vampires did not possess such terrifying regenerative power. Su Cheng could not help suspecting that this vampire was also a player in the horror game, and a highly skilled one at that.

The vampire queen gave a strange laugh. A giant sickle formed from blood appeared in her hand, and she swung it toward Su Cheng's waist.

This vampire's power was immense; if the sickle landed, Su Cheng would be dismembered in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, spiritual energy burst from beneath Su Cheng's feet, carrying him out of the vampire queen's attack. He then thrust his blade from the side and pierced through her ribs.

Infinite Shadow Blade!

Powerful spiritual energy erupted at once, and countless sharp shadow blades directly sliced the vampire into more than a dozen pieces.

A thick stench of blood rushed at him.

In Su Cheng's eyes, a veil of crimson began to spread.

The vampire queen's shattered body turned into a pool of blood and water, then reassembled itself. Not long after, a blood-red figure stood before Su Cheng once more.

Seeing the vampire queen revive, Su Cheng was not especially surprised.

Through the battle just now, he had roughly understood her abilities.

The vampire queen's role was probably that of a mage who controlled blood. The trouble was that her power was like the abilities of a Logia-type Devil Fruit user from a pirate tale, allowing her body to become elemental and rendering physical attacks useless.

But her power was not without a solution. Su Cheng had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"What tremendous power. I'm craving your blood more and more."

Before Su Cheng, the vampire queen's lovely face wore an intoxicated expression, as if savoring the pleasure brought by the blade's assault.

Seeing that dreamy look on her face, Su Cheng's eye twitched hard.

This vampire queen was actually a masochist.

At the same time, on a sofa in the banquet hall downstairs, a coquettish woman who had been embracing and kissing a wealthy young man suddenly flashed with bloodthirsty light in her eyes.

Then, four dreadful beastlike fangs jutted from her mouth and drove viciously into the man's neck.

A shriek of terror rang through the banquet hall. The man's blood was drained dry in an instant by the coquettish woman. His body shriveled up at once, becoming a ghastly dried corpse.

"Monster, there's a monster!"

At the sight of this bloody, horrifying scene, the guests at the banquet were terrified out of their wits. Endless fear spread through them like a virus.

Chu He's wineglass slipped from his hand and shattered on the floor with a crash. The mature woman beside him, who had been chatting and laughing with him moments ago, now had blood-red eyes, and a bizarre smile that chilled the soul appeared on her face.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

The midnight bell tolled, and this feast of blood reached its climax at that moment.
