Chapter 109: The Blade of Judgment

"Glacial Cyclone." YOYO raised her hands, and as the temperature plummeted, several swirling vortexes of wind and snow swept forward.

Wu Qiwei commanded his myriad blades to charge at YOYO. Seeing the onslaught, she raised her hands again, summoning countless ice blades, three to four meters tall, from the frozen landscape. A layer of frigid mist drifted from the blades as they appeared, and anything they touched was instantly encased in ice.

YOYO leaped into the air. The ice beneath her feet transformed into a hundred-meter-long ice dragon that soared upward, unleashing a breath of freezing frost toward Wu Qiwei.

"Tch." Watching the danger approach, Wu Qiwei threw Ye Tang aside and dodged to the side. The ice breath struck Ye Tang squarely, instantly sealing her in ice.

Seeing Ye Tang frozen, Wu Qiwei gloated inwardly. But before he could savor the moment, YOYO rode the ice dragon directly into the frozen shell. The ice crystals shattered instantly, and YOYO caught the falling Ye Tang. "Are you alright?"

Ye Tang opened her eyes, enduring the pain as she said, "I'm fine. Why did you help me?"

"Don't misunderstand. He is no longer human; the only way to deal with him is for us to join forces."

"Join forces? Ha." Ye Tang was skeptical, given how YOYO had treated her before. Departing from the ice dragon, her hair and clothes fluttering naturally, she began to radiate a fierce, scorching heat. A piercing cry rang out as a burning phoenix manifested beside her.

With a roar, the dragon and phoenix charged at Wu Qiwei. Facing the two sacred beasts, he hesitated; after all, the four sacred beasts were the guardian deities of the hunting clans. He used his hands to block the impact of both, but the force caused him to vomit a mouthful of green blood.

At that moment, YOYO leaped from the ice dragon's head toward Wu Qiwei. Before he could react, she transformed into a liquid state and merged into his wounds. Feeling the cold spreading from within his body, Wu Qiwei was shocked; his body began to lose control, and the freezing sensation gradually encased him. Within moments, he was trapped in ice. YOYO had provided the perfect opportunity. Ye Tang, struggling to fly with half a wing, raised her crimson blade high, a tyrannical flame surging around it: "This is your end. Die! God-Slaying Slash!"

"Don't make me laugh. An end? I have never reached one, because it is impossible for me to do so."

As the blade descended, YOYO instantly emerged from his wound, her liquid form slowly solidifying back into her human shape. A massive arc of flame cleaved Wu Qiwei in two. Deprived of the power sustaining him, the ice dragon and fire phoenix crashed into his body, instantly incinerating him. Wu Qiwei's twisted face emitted agonizing screams until, with a bang, a surge of power expanded outward, generating countless lightning bolts. The shockwave created powerful air currents that caused nearby buildings to collapse, and then, everything went silent.

As gravity surged, a five-colored space vortex formed, sucking in everything nearby. YOYO was close to the vortex and was dragged in. Ye Tang initially didn't want to save her, but recalling how YOYO had helped her moments ago, her heart softened, and she used all her strength to pull her back. However, the moment she was saved, a charming smirk played on YOYO’s lips. She struck Ye Tang with a burst of ice power, rendering her immobile, and gently pushed her into the vortex's gravitational pull.

"You..." Unable to move, Ye Tang watched helplessly as her body slowly sank into the spatial vortex, her eyes filled with rage before she vanished.

"This story teaches you a lesson: never save your enemy. Goodbye, my nemesis." Having escaped the suction of the vortex, YOYO waved goodbye.

Ye Tang entered a spatial turbulence filled with black lightning, where countless moments of time flashed past her. A massive bolt of lightning struck her, and with a bang, she shattered into countless genomes.

As Ye Tang disappeared into the vortex, it vanished along with her, as if it had never existed. The haze dissipated, and YOYO stretched, basking in the bright sunlight. She had completed her mission as a hunter. After thousands of years of strife, with the death of the last bloodline vampire, they were no more.

The ice and snow melted slowly. Du Bin poked his head out, looking at the calm surroundings with confusion. "Aunt Lan, what’s happening?"

Ye Lan stepped out of the building, her brow furrowed as she looked at the silent ruins. Then, she said in a panic, "I can't feel Xiao Tang's aura. What happened just now?"

"I don't know either. After the collision, I thought I saw a vortex, and then I couldn't see anything." Hu Guozheng spread his hands helplessly. Seeing YOYO standing nearby, he signaled to Du Bin. "She should know."

Du Bin was filled with rage at the sight of her, but to find Ye Tang, he suppressed his injury and walked up to YOYO. "YOYO, I want to ask, have you seen..."

A whistling wind blew. Before he could react, a cold blade was pressed against his throat. The others immediately went on high alert. YOYO stared at him coldly. "Don't bother looking. She no longer exists in this world."

"Why?" Du Bin panicked; he refused to believe Ye Tang was dead.

"Because I pushed her into the vortex." A smile appeared on YOYO’s face. Hearing those words, the group's anger surged.

Du Bin was too naive; he knew very well that YOYO would never let Ye Tang go and would kill her at the first opportunity. As golden lightning sparked from his body, YOYO shook her head. "I advise you not to challenge my bottom line."

"Do you really want to kill her that much?" Du Bin clenched his fists until his knuckles cracked.

"She was a vampire; it was only natural that she be purged. Do you expect me to let her disrupt the balance of this world?"

Ye Lan could not accept this and retorted immediately, "Disrupt? As far as I know, the cause of all this disruption was you and your master."

"Say what you will. Regardless, she is not in this world. If you want to find her, go make your own vortex. I won't be accompanying you any further." YOYO loosened her hand, and the ice blade shattered into countless crystals.

Watching her leave, Du Bin knew he was no match for her now. He vowed to himself that one day he would defeat her and avenge Ye Tang. Filled with sorrow, the group left Guangzhou; the aftermath was no longer theirs to handle.

Under that same sky, in an endless desert, a petite figure wearing goggles and a black cloak walked slowly against the sandstorm. At a glance, it was Ye Tang. She didn't know how long she had been walking. When the storm passed, she collapsed onto the sand, unable to withstand the scorching sun. Her eyes were filled with the fear of death, and her vision blurred. Just as she lost all hope, a man wearing a silver mask appeared before her.

"From now on, I am your master. You will take orders only from me." After the boy spoke, he took out food and water and handed them to her. Seeing her lifeline, she nodded desperately and began to eat ravenously.

The silver-masked boy crouched down, watching the unrefined way the girl ate with a faint smile, and reached out to gently stroke her hair.
