The vampire queen heard this and was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her face contorted in ferocity. "You, shut up!" she commanded.
With that, she angrily waved her hand, and a swarm of small bats lunged towards Dan Ya, intending to tear her apart.
A hint of caution flashed in Dan Ya's eyes. She turned to Ming Li and said, "Your Majesty, you should leave first. I'll cover your retreat. You've only just awakened, and your strength hasn't recovered. It's not suitable for you to confront her directly! Rest assured, your subject will protect you until death..."
The rest of her words caught in her throat. The scene unfolding before her left Dan Ya dumbfounded, her jaw so shocked it felt like it had detached.
Ming Li stood in mid-air, holding a silver sword, her robes billowing without wind, exuding an aura of immense power.
The system in the space, unafraid of death, whispered, "Everyone, clear the way. Our host is about to show off...?" Show off what?
The system's words were cut short, and it realized it had lost its voice...
What the heck! It's been silenced?
The system felt a chill down its neck, as if a host of ghosts were drifting past.
The vampire queen froze when she met Ming Li's blood-red eyes, her own widening in disbelief. "How is this possible! This is impossible! This isn't real! Absolutely not real! I am the supreme king of the blood race! You're definitely an imposter!"
"Heh~ Is that so?" Ming Li's lips curved into an attractive arc, her voice laced with amusement. "We'll know if you're an imposter if we try, won't we?"
Before her words had even finished, Ming Li swung her sword towards the vampire queen. The silver sword moved, and sword energy followed, striking the vampire queen before she could dodge. A wound, deep enough to see bone, appeared on her body.
The vampire queen's face contorted with rage, and wisps of black energy emanated from around her body. From within the black energy, countless tiny bats suddenly flew out.
Upon seeing this, Ming Li raised an eyebrow. Oh! Was she preparing to unleash her ultimate move?
Ming Li wore an expression of anticipation, watching the vampire queen with keen interest.
Beside her, Dan Ya's face was etched with worry. She instinctively spoke, "Not good, Your Majesty. This is a sacrifice! She's going to use her soul as a price to eliminate you! You should leave here quickly!"
Ming Li's expression remained unchanged. She calmly replied, "Her petty tricks can't do anything to me, but these little insects are indeed annoying."
With a flick of Ming Li's wrist, black flames instantly engulfed the small bats.
The vampire queen, who was preparing her ultimate move: "......" Who am I? Where am I? What just happened?
After the little bats were consumed by the flames, the vampire queen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Weakened, she plummeted from mid-air, crashing onto the ground.
"Pfft!"
"What did you do!"
Seeing the vampire queen falter so quickly, Ming Li pouted in boredom. Without further ado, she unleashed a torrent of flames, and the vampire queen's figure was instantly swallowed by the inferno.
The vampire queen, who died with her eyes wide open: "......"
She didn't even have time to utter a death threat before being extinguished.
Beside her, Dan Ya silently adjusted her jaw and said with reverence, "Your Majesty is mighty!"
At this moment, the system's silence was lifted, and its terrified screams echoed from the space, "Ahhh! Host! The vampire queen is dead! What about our mission?!"
Ming Li's gaze indifferently swept over the vampire queen, who had been reduced to ashes, and she calmly stated, "Why panic? Isn't there still one left?"
The system: "......"
