440 Deathbane Vampire (1/2)
”Ah... Help… Help, please!”
Suddenly, cries for help rang across the mansion – those voices belonged to the Jianghu guests.
”What's going on? Are we in danger?” Chen Xiaobei quickly tensed.
”I don't know… I've never heard anything like that before…” Song Qincheng shook her head; she was worried too.
”Fan Tong's friends aren't low-life thugs. It must be something serious, I'll go check it out.” Chen Xiaobei said in a very deep voice.
”Don't go! Don't risk your life! Let's just hide inside the house!”
Song Qincheng immediately wrapped her arms across his; she absolutely refused to let him go. He may be the most powerful man in Green Vine City, but she thought that he could not hold his own in a fight. He was barely in his twenties after all; he could not possibly be a Jianghu veteran, or stand up against one. He would simply be risking himself!
”It's fine, baby.” Chen Xiaobei soothed her. ”I must go. The entire mansion won't be safe if even those Jianghu elites were spooked.”
”But…” Song Qincheng was desperate to have him hide away with her.
”Follow me if you don't believe in me!” Grabbing her hand, Chen Xiaobei led her in a run towards the screams.
It was a scene straight out of a nightmare. A man with extremely pale skin and black clothes was standing at the front porch; he looked like he was mid-twenties but his hair was an ashen white. Both his eyes were blood red, and two fangs jutted out of his mouth. Everything about him screamed vampire – the mythical creature in western folklore!
In fact, he was behaving like one of them right now!
”Mercy! Please… Please let me go…”
A Jianghu veteran was begging for his life, unable to free himself from the man's grasp no matter how he hard he struggled!
”Garbage! Your weak foundation is already buried deep within your bone marrow. You aren't even worthy of Si Xuanyu's Embrace!” The monster of a man turned his head and buried his fangs into the man's neck.
*Slurp*
*Slurp*
In a flash, the middle-aged Jianghu elite paled, and his eyes rolled back inside their sockets. He expired before long.
*Boom!*
The vampire threw the lifeless body aside forcefully and glared at the rest the group with his bloody eyes. They appeared to have fought him earlier; none of them was unscathed. Now, however, they bunched up like a flock of fowls, hoping for escape from the butcher's knife.
The mustached man – who always seemed more capable than the rest – was bold enough to ask: ”Are… Are you one of those vampires of legend?”
”Imbecile! I'm Lord Si Xuanyu from the Deathbane Family – the noblest of all blood descendants! We were never 'vampires', uneducated fools gave us that rubbish of a name!” The man said proudly.
