Chapter 279 - The Arduous Fight in the West (1/2)

Somewhere in the Western world, under the Statue of Liberty…

“Phew…!”

Edward and Catherine were panting and covered with blood. The deep wounds on their body exposed their bones.

“Honey, are we going to die here today?” Catherine asked with a trembling voice.

“I don’t think we will, Catherine. We’ve helped Bugui so much, and we don’t deserve to be killed by those vampires so easily. Trust me, we can make it out of this.”

Edward rubbed Catherine’s blonde hair, which had been dyed red by her blood.

“I wonder if Bugui and the others are safe now. I miss them so much. If they were here, we wouldn’t have to end up like this.” Catherine talked to herself, leaning on the bronze statue.

“They’ll be fine. If they were here, those vampires wouldn’t dare to approach us. Haha!” Edward shook his head with a bitter smile.

Both of them hoped that Wang Bugui and the others were here with them, but the fact was that Wang Bugui was in the Far East at this moment. The two were now surrounded by enemies and their chance to survive was slim.

“I heard that Meiqing and Yan had also been ambushed days ago. There was nothing good about them in the news told by Kathy,” Catherine said with a frown.

They could be besieged by a great number of vampires, including Annie and Barnard. Thinking of that, Catherine nearly cried.

Edward’s heart ached more when he saw her crying. He gave his chest to his wife for her to cry on. Edward became as desperate as Catherine after he heard the news about Meiqing and Yan.

Given the situation he was in, he found himself standing no chance to get away from this.

“Whiz, whiz, whiz!”

The air flowing around him suddenly changed. Edward lit a cigarette and inhaled. Then he leaned toward Catherine and whispered, “They’ve arrived, honey.”

“They wouldn’t dare to come closer. This is our home court. We should teach him a lesson!”

Catherine raised her head and wiped her tears. Then she said, “If we can’t go back, we’ll perish together with those vampires!”

“Craziness before death!”

The two uttered that at the same time. Then they separated in order to keep an eye on different directions. Dozens of ghost ships were approaching. On those ships were many vampires standing.

The ships were driven forward by the wind. Some vampires began paddling faster and faster when they saw the shores ahead.

“Boom! Boom!”

Edward and Catherine wouldn’t give them any chance to pull in to the shore. 10 more magic grenades were thrown out to the ships. Catherine had already switched her gun to full-moon mode so that she could precisely hit the ships.

One bullet, one boat. At the same time, Edward was pulling the Fairy Bow and fired at the ships with all kinds of magical ammunition. He stopped all the ships from approaching on his own.

Vampires had been abandoned by God. They couldn’t fly or swim across the sea. Sailing was their only choice. Now they had to fight back, otherwise, they would soon be attacked and sink.

They were casting blood spells from afar. More and more ghost ships showed up to help them. They believed that they could win the fight because they had more people. That had to kill the couple first if they wanted to pull in to shore.

They would do whatever it took to win the fight. The Black Tower and the Sanctuary were now being suppressed, which made it the perfect timing for them to carry out their plan. The only thing blocking their way was the Hunters’ Union, so they had to get rid of that first.

“For the King! For our new life! Charge!” a Count commanded the sailors.

The vampires roared as if they had been bloodthirsty for hundreds of years. They rushed to the shore at full sail.

“Barrage time!”

Instead of giving in due to fear, Edward and Catherine yelled together and poured down their grenades in one direction. They had activated Acuity Limit esoteric skill and super sense.

After full observation on the battlefield, they continued to attack the enemies from afar, stopping those who wanted to sneak closer.

At the same time in Japan, in a remote temple of a nameless city…

“Phew!”

Meiqing was almost dying from serious wounds. She puked lots of blood and looked paler. Her pink clothes were dyed red, and there were a few scary wounds slashed on her skin.

It seemed that she had been hit by some huge claw. But the claw had failed to tear her to pieces, only leaving those bone-deep wounds.

“How are you? Do you still need spiritual strength?” Kamikawa Hiko hugged her and asked.

The wounds on him were as deep as those on Meiqing. One of his hands had been burned black. There were several scary bloody holes over his body; fortunately, none of those was fatal to him.

Meiqing felt cold, but she could feel the warmth from him. She forced a smile and asked, “Are we going to die here?”

“No, we won’t! I won’t allow that to happen! Let’s pull through this and everything will get better. I’ll take you out of the siege as long as I make a breakthrough in cultivation!”
