Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost

boom!

A piercing gunshot rang out, and a bullet flashing with purple light shot towards the enemy like a meteor. However, the enemy's body only swayed slightly, and the bullet missed and hit the ground.

"Damn it, this thing is way too fast."

A middle-aged man, holding a gun in his left hand and a knife in his right, muttered curses.

The "ghost" he was referring to was a hideous humanoid creature.

This creature had a skeletal face, with bluish-black skin covering its flesh, giving off an inexplicable chill. It was two meters tall and wore a tattered black outfit that looked like it had been worn for many years.

Its teeth were sharp and long, like knives, and its black eyes were filled with hunger, violence, wildness, and evil.

This is a second-tier vampire.

Possessing superhuman strength, speed, and regenerative abilities, the most troublesome aspect is that the opponent can also heal injuries and increase combat power by drinking blood during the battle.

The man fighting the vampire is named Yang Mo. He has reached the Transformation Realm in martial arts, and his combat strength is comparable to the mid-stage of the second tier. He is also one of the special operations team members in this operation.

Since the arrival of the mysterious fog, Yang Mo, like the other team members with second-tier combat power, was sent by Wei Feng to carry out the decapitation plan, to find the strange entity carrying the core of the mysterious fog and kill it.

Up to now, Yang Mo has killed three first-tier monsters and one second-tier monster, but even so, he still hasn't found the target of this plan.

Before he could even find his target, not long ago, while he was acting alone, he was spotted by a vampire lurking in the shadows.

Although this vampire only exudes the aura of the early second tier, its strange combat power will be enhanced within the strange mist, and Yang Mo's current condition is not very good.

He was injured and his strength was affected when he dealt with the previous second-tier monster. He knew that if he didn't deal with this vampire monster as soon as possible, not to mention whether the commotion here would attract other monsters, the longer it dragged on, the more his life would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Yang Mo put away his revolver. He had already emptied the dumdum bullets inside, and as a swordsman, he was not familiar with firearms.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted so many precious dumdum bullets.

Yang Mo stood with his knife in hand, his eyes fixed on the vampire monster before him. His inner strength surged, and the bone knife in his hand gleamed with a pale light in the darkness.

This knife was also a weapon specially developed by the Alliance scholars to deal with the supernatural. It was made from the leg bone of a supernatural being that had materialized into a physical body. It is extremely sharp and contains supernatural power that can damage supernatural beings.

Yang Mo had to use a lot of favors and merits to obtain this knife from the alliance.

As a swordsman who loved his sword dearly, Yang Mo thoughtfully gave this sword a name – "White Fang".

After figuring out the current situation, Yang Mo made up his mind to go all out. He sheathed his sword, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and his body gradually relaxed. His mind instantly sank into his past insights into the way of the sword.

At the same time, a sharp aura gradually emanated from him, making the vampires not far away feel somewhat uneasy.

He was cultivating his swordsmanship, determined to decide victory or defeat, life or death, with a single strike.

At this moment, the vampire also sensed something was wrong. It let out a low growl, its muscles bulged, and it lunged at Yang Mo with a fierce killing intent.

The vampire's sharp, blade-like claws are also one of its most powerful weapons.

Although Yang Mo had his eyes closed while nurturing his sword intent, his powerful martial arts senses told him that the vampire's attack was imminent.

"roll!"

Suddenly, Yang Mo opened his eyes, his gaze wide with anger, as if countless blades were flashing in his eyes.

Then, he raised his arm and swung the knife. A flash of light and the sound of air being cut echoed all around as the bone knife, White Fang, mercilessly slashed at the head of the vampire.

This is one of the opponent's weaknesses.

The vampire, realizing what was happening, quickly dodged, but the blade flashed like lightning and moved with incredible speed. Even though it barely avoided the fatal blow, its body was still struck by the bone blade.

boom!

With a loud bang, the vampire's body was sent flying backward, landing dozens of meters away, smashing through several walls and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Under normal circumstances, a vampire that takes this blow will not die, but it will definitely be seriously injured.

However, looking at the area shrouded in smoke and dust, Yang Mo frowned slightly.

"strangeness."

He could feel that the feel of that slash was a little off.

As expected, as the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a blood-red shield appeared before Yang Mo's eyes. Inside the shield lay a vampire lying on the ground, its aura much weaker.

Upon seeing this, Yang Mo was startled.

"I've never heard of vampires having this kind of ability."

According to the Alliance's bizarre archives, the Vampire Monster is only a type of monster that has mastered physical attack methods; there is no record of this monster also possessing energy defense capabilities.

Click!

At that moment, a sound like a mirror shattering interrupted his thoughts.

He looked up and saw that the blood-red shield was covered with dense cracks. As a gust of cold wind swept by, the shield that had blocked most of Yang Mo's attacks shattered with a crash.

After the shield disappeared, the vampire slowly got up from the ground. It glared at Yang Mo fiercely, its eyes filled with malice. After letting out a low growl, it charged at Yang Mo again.

However, Yang Mo keenly sensed that the vampire's speed seemed to have slowed down considerably. Just as the vampire pounced, Yang Mo let out a cold snort. Then, he gripped the hilt of his knife tightly with his right hand, and a surge of powerful internal energy emerged. The snow-white blade of the bone knife slowly became brighter, and a dense black light, like the night, shimmered on the blade.

With this strike, Yang Mo used his own profound internal energy as a sacrifice to draw out the strange power contained within the bone knife.

However, this method of actively using strange power will cause the internal energy he used this time to disappear forever, and he will have to cultivate it back through many years of hard work.

Strangely enough, the strange power within this knife seems to enjoy devouring the internal energy of martial artists.

Whoosh!

The next second, Yang Mo's figure flashed quickly. He raised his hand and waved it, and the blade flashed again.

This strike was like a shooting star streaking across the sky, and a chilling aura quickly spread.

Seeing the incoming blade, a ferocious glint flashed in the vampire's eyes. It turned its body to the side, using an arm or even half of its body as a sacrifice to withstand the blow.

In an instant, a large amount of blood gushed out.

"What?"

A look of astonishment flashed in Yang Mo's eyes. He hadn't expected that the vampire wouldn't dodge the attack.

Yang Mo instantly understood the vampire's intentions after what happened next.

After withstanding Yang Mo's attack, the vampire, now only half its body remaining, seized the opportunity to leap up, then opened its fangs and bit at Yang Mo's neck.

If Yang Mo's neck is bitten by the vampire, his blood will be rapidly drained, and he will die of blood loss within a few seconds.

At the same time, after consuming the blood of Yang Mo, a martial artist at the Transformation Realm, this vampire monster, even if it cannot recover to its peak state, will at least be stronger than it is now.

However, Yang Mo had already prepared for this. He stepped back to dodge, and at the same time, his right hand wielded the bone knife, White Fang, which spun around and swiftly slashed towards the vampire's neck.

"Without this head, let's see what you'll use to suck my blood."

A cold glint flashed in Yang Mo's eyes, and the black light swirling around the bone knife in his hand surged instantly.

However, at that moment, the bloodsucking monster, having bitten empty air, suddenly unleashed a crimson light from its dark eyes. Immediately afterward, its speed surged dramatically, and an incredibly sharp claw tore through Yang Mo's clothes, leaving five deep, bone-revealing wounds on his chest.

If Yang Mo hadn't sensed the danger and drawn his sword to protect his head, the cut would have been far more severe than just a slash to his chest.

Thinking of this, Yang Mo disregarded the pain and quickly rushed towards the vampire with a light tap of his toes. He didn't give the vampire any chance to react. With a "thud," a long knife pierced the vampire's heart, and a large amount of blood soaked the hilt along the blade.

After unleashing astonishing speed, the vampire's reaction speed seemed to slow down considerably, and even its aura weakened, which is why it was struck by Yang Mo's blade.

As the vampire let out a scream, Yang Mo, having pulled the bone knife from its chest, prepared to slash off its head.

In fact, vampires are relatively easy to deal with because you can kill them by cutting off their heads.

However, just as Yang Mo was about to swing his knife, his movements suddenly stopped, and his expression changed slightly.

His eyes widened, and he slowly lowered his head to look at the wound on his chest. A sense of powerlessness washed over him.

The claws are poisonous!

But... I've never heard of vampires having poisonous claws!

A look of seriousness flashed in Yang Mo's eyes as his face began to turn pale.

The strange occurrences within the fog were indeed different from those recorded in the Alliance's archives on strange occurrences. No wonder Captain Wei had specifically instructed him to be extra careful of the strange occurrences within the fog before he set off.

As a result, Yang Mo suffered a great loss when he encountered the mysterious fog for the first time.

Yang Mo didn't have time to think. He immediately used the last of his internal energy to seal his acupoints and then prepared to swing his knife again to end the life of the Bloodsucking Monster.

However, at this very moment, a sudden change occurred.

Swish!

A flash of light appeared.

Just as Yang Mo was about to swing his knife, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. Then something seemed to fly past his head, followed by a few strands of hair falling off.

"What?"

Yang Mo's body stiffened for a moment. His heart skipped a beat, and he forgot about the vampire that seemed to have been stabbed by something. He then subconsciously looked back.

Under a gloomy sky, a strangely dressed clown stood motionless on the roof of a dilapidated high-rise building.

Perhaps due to the distance and the obstruction of vision by the black fog, Yang Mo couldn't see whether the strange clown was smiling or... crying.

All he saw were several throwing knives in the clown's hand, their blades gleaming with a chilling light in the darkness.

"Strange!?"

Yang Mo's expression froze instantly.

In this godforsaken place, apart from their allies and the original inhabitants of the neighborhood, there were only those bizarre and strange creatures.

However, he couldn't recall for the moment what the name of this bizarre creature that looked like a clown was or what its abilities were.

"Damn it, why now of all times..."

Yang Mo was starting to feel a little flustered.

He sensed that the other party's aura had reached the second level, just like his own, but at this moment he had exhausted too much of his physical strength and internal energy, and was also poisoned. No matter how you looked at it, he was no match for the other party.

As for running away... that's even more impossible.

If this clown-like second-tier monster had appeared earlier, he wouldn't have fought this vampire monster for so long; he would have made a run for it long ago.

Just as Yang Mo was feeling desperate, the strange clown on the roof of a tall building not far away laughed and cried as he raised the throwing knife in his hand and gently wiped its blade.

next second.

Several gleaming throwing knives came flying like thin, long threads.

Upon seeing this, Yang Mo felt a profound sense of powerlessness.

Even in his prime, he wouldn't dare say he could completely dodge those throwing knives.

Thinking of this, Yang Mo slowly turned around, leaning on the bone knife with one hand, and stood there with difficulty. Then he closed his eyes and waited for death to come.

puff!

As the sounds of flesh tearing apart rang out, a piercing scream echoed all around.

Hearing the screams coming from behind him, Yang Mo opened his eyes in surprise.

He didn't die.

The one who died was...

Yang Mo looked back again and saw that the vampire lying on the ground, barely alive, had several throwing knives stuck in its body.

Before he could think any further, the several throwing knives that were stuck in various parts of the vampire's body lifted him up and sent him flying into the sky.

The target wasn't him, but... that second-tier vampire monster?

Soon, as the vampire's figure completely disappeared into the dark sky, the clown standing on the rooftop also seemed to have vanished without a trace.

"You...you survived?"

Yang Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he felt very strange at this moment, before he could think about it, a sharp pain struck him and he collapsed to the ground in agony. Just as he took out the walkie-talkie from his waist to request help, the walkie-talkie rang first.

"Attention, all members of the decapitation squad, immediately proceed to the south gate of the community square to provide support."

"Attention, all members of the decapitation squad, immediately..."

Zhang Shu's heavy voice came through the walkie-talkie.

Yang Mo was taken aback at first, but then immediately understood.

It must be that strange entity carrying the core of the eerie mist has appeared at the south gate of the community square.

These members of the decapitation squad had searched so hard for so long, but they never expected that the other party would actually deliver themselves to their doorstep.

However, judging from Zhang Shu's tone, something seems amiss.

Yang Mo shook his head with a wry smile.

In his current state, rushing to the south gate of the community square would only make things worse.

Thinking of this, he picked up the walkie-talkie and explained his current situation and location. While waiting for the other members of the decapitation squad to come to his aid, he thought for a moment and then picked up the walkie-talkie again.

"Report, I've discovered a strange second-tier creature. It seems to be..."
