The next moment.
Zhang Wei watched the two vampire kings, who had disappeared into the black mist, with a calm expression. As if sensing something, he looked towards a patch of mist and spoke softly:
"Thunder Breathing, First Form, Thunderbolt—Six Flashes!"
As the words fell, Zhang Wei transformed into lightning. Golden lightning erupted, irregularly tracing six flashes that plunged directly into the black mist. Instantly, the mist churned. Fanned by the fierce wind generated by Zhang Wei's rapid speed, the mist rolled, revealing six lightning trails devoid of mist.
Immediately after.
The middle-aged vampire king's screams echoed.
All the specters looked towards the dispersing black mist, their pupils constricting. They saw the middle-aged vampire king and Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei had accurately found the middle-aged vampire king and split him cleanly in half with a single strike, the cut smooth and even.
[Ding! The vampires are incredulous... This is impossible! How did he find Father/Patriarch?]
[Host gains System Points +330]
Let alone them.
Even the old vampire king hiding nearby felt the same. As family and allies of the middle-aged vampire king, they were well aware of the 'Demon God's Heart' ability. The black mist it released not only obscured vision but also blocked hearing, smell, and other senses.
Frankly speaking.
Unless the black mist was blown away, it was almost impossible to locate the middle-aged vampire king within it. But the reality was...
At this very moment.
"How did you do that?"
The middle-aged vampire king, split in half, cried out in shock. Protected by the black mist, he hadn't died, and the severed halves of his body were already healing.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei smiled, growing more pleased with the 'Demon God's Heart,' and replied:
"Because I'm from Great Xia. For us hardworking Great Xia people, environments like your black mist are nothing. We wake up before dawn, working from morning till night to buy groceries and go to work. So, we're not afraid of this environment."
Before his words finished.
Zhang Wei added:
"So, how about it? Aren't we Great Xia people awesome?"
[Ding! Middle-aged vampire king... You're kidding me.]
[Host gains System Points +130]
The middle-aged vampire king didn't believe Zhang Wei's explanation, convinced that Zhang Wei had just gotten lucky.
However.
Zhang Wei continued to strike again and again, each time accurately finding the middle-aged vampire king, and even the old vampire king. Each time, he precisely bisected them, cutting at the exact same spot.
"Hit again, am I awesome?"
Zhang Wei said once more.
[Ding! The two vampire kings doubt their lives... Could he not be lying? Are Great Xia people truly immune to the Demon God's Heart's black mist?]
[Host gains System Points +260]
If it happened once or twice, it would be one thing, but being struck seven or eight times in a row, and always in the same spot, defied coincidence. Even they had to wonder if Great Xia people, by waking up early and working late, had truly developed eyes that weren't afraid of the dark.
Not just them, but all the other specters present were starting to doubt.
[Ding! The vampires' hearts pound... Damn it, are Great Xia people really this awesome? No wonder it's said that staying up late in Great Xia is like cultivating immortality. Is this actually training their eyes?]
[Host gains System Points +340]
As the system notification sounded, Zhang Wei chuckled inwardly. As the instigator, he knew the truth. But he had no intention of revealing it. He wanted them to be afraid. He even hoped this rumor would spread, so that in the future, when Great Xia people were abroad, at least specters wouldn't dare to act too aggressively against them in the dark.
In fact.
The reason he could find the middle-aged vampire king and the others in the black mist was that during their first surprise attack on him, Zhang Wei had patted their shoulders and, at the same time, applied a system point to their clothes. By being able to sense things he had applied system points to, Zhang Wei could accurately locate them.
This was something Zhang Wei had discovered by chance not long ago while researching the system. System points not only enhanced items but, when applied to enemies, acted as trackers that the enemy couldn't detect.
With that thought.
Zhang Wei looked at the middle-aged vampire king, who had once again been split in two, and said directly:
"It seems your ghost object can grant you infinite healing. So, the question is, do you want to see my other Thunder Breathing forms?"
As he spoke.
Seeing Zhang Wei's row of pearly white teeth.
[Ding! The hearts of the two ghost kings skip a beat.]
[Host gains System Points +270]
As the system notification chimed.
At this moment.
After more than ten strikes, Zhang Wei had figured out the 'Demon God's Heart's' ability and decided to snatch it. But before that, he wanted to "shear the sheep."
Subsequently.
Zhang Wei made his move.
However, unlike before, Zhang Wei no longer used "Thunderbolt—Six Flashes," opting for other Thunder Breathing forms.
Immediately.
A scene that made all the specters tremble appeared.
Zhang Wei declared:
"Thunder Breathing, Second Form, Raised Grain Thunder."
As the sound arose, Zhang Wei appeared before the old vampire king and unleashed a strike, five brilliant black lightning bolts erupting like roaring black thunder dragons, striking the former.
"Ah!!!"
The old vampire king screamed.
Zhang Wei chuckled:
"How about it? Am I awesome? Isn't this move cool?"
As his words fell.
Zhang Wei moved again, this time appearing before the middle-aged vampire king:
"Thunder Breathing, Third Form, Piercing Thunder."
As the sound arose, Zhang Wei spun rapidly around the middle-aged vampire king, leaving trails of undulating black lightning along his path. At first glance, the scene was spectacular, with the middle-aged vampire king seemingly trapped within a cage woven from waves of black lightning.
As the middle-aged vampire king was cut into four pieces.
Zhang Wei's voice also sounded:
"How about it? Am I awesome? Isn't this move cool?"
As his words fell.
Zhang Wei turned to face the old vampire king, who had just been cut into five pieces and was now healing. His gaze made the old vampire king tremble.
Then.
It was as if time had entered a loop.
As Zhang Wei uttered:
"Thunder Breathing, Fourth Form, Distant Thunder."
The middle-aged vampire king died.
Zhang Wei's voice rang out again:
"How about it? Am I awesome? Isn't this move cool?"
The next second.
"Thunder Breathing, Fifth Form, Heatwave Thunder."
The old vampire king died.
Zhang Wei's voice sounded once more:
"How about it? Am I awesome? Isn't this move cool?"
And so it went.
Due to the Demon God's Heart, the two vampire kings possessed astonishing regenerative abilities. Each time they were killed, they would quickly heal and revive.
Because of this.
The middle-aged vampire king and the old vampire king died successively under different brilliant lightning forms, repeating the cycle of one dying after the other.
[Ding! The two ghost kings regret... Damn your Demon God's Heart, what kind of trash ghost object is this!!!]
[Host gains System Points +280]
The system notification chimed.
The two vampire kings regretted it more than ever, regretting bringing the Demon God's Heart as a backup, regretting using it. They would have been better off just being killed from the start.
Simultaneously.
Zhang Wei's voice could be heard again:
"Thunder Breathing, Seventh Form, Fire God of Thunder."
This time.
The middle-aged vampire king died, his head severed. He felt his head fly through the air in a parabola:
[Ding! The middle-aged vampire king is numb and wants to cry... I'm dead. My head was cut off this time. How many times have I died? Seven? Eight?]
[Host gains System Points +180]
Then.
Zhang Wei's familiar voice sounded again:
"How about it? Am I awesome? Isn't this move cool?"
As he spoke.
[Ding! The two vampire kings... Awesome your ass! Stop being awesome, I beg you, stop being awesome!]
[Host gains System Points +290]
At the same time.
Not only were the two vampire kings numb, but the other vampires were also frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time.
The reason for this.
Was simply because...
From start to finish, they had been watching their beloved father/patriarch die in various spectacular ways before their very eyes.
