As soon as the man gave the command, the Yin Ghosts scattered, as if they had never been there at all!
With those Dirty Things retreating, I let out a long breath. The excitement that had surged within me dissipated significantly, leaving me feeling weak all over.
At that moment, the wounds on my body began to throb painfully. Looking down, I nearly fainted. There were at least thirty or forty deep gashes on my chest, legs, and waist, all claw marks that had penetrated deeply into the flesh. I could see the skin curling up because I had been facing those Evil Spirits the entire time.
The bowl and Xiao Xiao had fared much better; their injuries were not too severe, with only a few scars on their arms. As that figure appeared, a chilling wind swept through, brushing against my wounds like a knife scraping across my skin. The pain made me shiver uncontrollably, and I could barely stand upright!
However, the main figure had now revealed themselves, and I needed to avenge my brothers. How could I possibly endure this? This Evil Spirit possessed such high intelligence, understanding how to engage in a war of attrition before easily dispatching me!
At that moment, the shadow slowly emerged from the mist.
As she drew closer, the Blue Moon suddenly turned crimson, resembling blood. The ghastly red moonlight illuminated her figure without casting any shadows.
Her face was pale, and her irises glowed with a blood-red light, her gaze piercingly sharp. When our eyes met, it brought forth nothing but fear—an infinite dread that sent chills down my spine.
A sinister smile curved at her lips, revealing two sharp fangs that gleamed ominously!
Holy hell! I saw this man dressed in a pitch-black suit with a black bow tie around his neck and a stark white shirt—a striking contrast.
Could he be the legendary vampire Dracula?
Damn! Vampires are supernatural beings that sustain themselves by drinking human or other creatures' blood to achieve longevity.
The early legends of vampires circulated in the Balkan Peninsula and Eastern Slavic regions. In these tales, vampires were described as corpses rising from their Tombs to feed on human blood.
However, over the past century, with continuous adaptations in films and popular culture, the common image of vampires has gradually evolved into fantastical beings that must drink blood to maintain their vitality, operate at night, and possess supernatural powers—typically portrayed as evil.
In European history, there indeed was a figure named Dracula. He was infamous for his cruelty, often impaling prisoners through their rears with long wooden stakes that would emerge from their mouths, then raising the stakes high to let them suffer until death.
Without a doubt, this must be the man who commanded those Evil Spirits to attack me. This guy looked truly terrifying. Just the sight of him sent chills down my spine, especially since he was a vampire, and I had no experience dealing with such creatures. Even the Mausoleum Secrets offered no guidance on how to confront one!
“He is a vampire from the Dracula Family.”
At that moment, Xiao Xiao suddenly spoke up, “Xia, it seems you should be more cautious. This vampire from the Dracula Family has over a thousand years of Daoist Practice under his belt and has taken many lives!”
Upon hearing this, my mind went blank.
A thousand years of Daoist Practice? With a being of this caliber, even if I had a thousand hearts, it would be useless. We were not even in the same league; with just a flick of his finger, he could easily kill me!
This kind of thousand-year Evil Spirit was different; they wouldn’t hesitate to take another life. After all, what’s one more debt when you already have so many? Why be afraid?
I thought carefully about how to deal with a vampire.
Mayi Divination, formations, some living treasures—none of these would likely restrain him!
However, since I had been pushed to this point, I didn’t have many options left. Leaning on my Azure Dark Sword, I quietly waited to see what tricks this thousand-year vampire would pull.
To my surprise, this vampire was surprisingly amiable and even smiled at me in a somewhat endearing way. “Oh! God, I finally found someone capable!” he exclaimed. I couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t vampires supposed to be servants of Satan?”
“Oh! That was just a slip of the tongue; don’t take it too seriously… Anyway, you are the person I’ve been looking for!”
A vampire wants to find me? Who do you think you’re fooling?
“I’m the person you’re looking for? Are you out of your mind?”
I was filled with confusion, but at that moment, I absolutely couldn’t let my guard down. Initially, I wanted to use some cool lines like Zhengyang’s: “The Yin-Yang Realms have their own order; you have been dead for a thousand years and should have entered Reincarnation. Why linger in the mortal realm and cause harm to Yang Persons?” But then I remembered he was a foreign ghost who might not even understand that; better not risk it!
“I’m a good ghost!”
Upon hearing this, I was taken aback. A ghost claiming to be a good ghost? That was as unbelievable as every prisoner insisting they were wrongfully accused!
I angrily shouted in English, "Stop rambling! If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Oh! Vampires don't fart, sir. Please don't be so rude! I have a story that might help you understand why I am looking for you!"
Since listening to a story wouldn't cost me anything, I nodded.
The story went something like this, and since it was entirely in English, I had to translate it.
This vampire lived in a castle in Europe, and his name in life was Nikola. He was a distant relative of the Dracula family. Due to an unexpected war between wizards and vampires, he suffered a complete defeat. At that time, prisoners were sent to Australia, and he was among those being transported on a ship.
A maritime disaster occurred, leading to the demise of the wizards aboard. This allowed Nikola to seize absolute power; he took control of the ship and naturally became its captain. He continuously attacked the nearby Indigenous People, feeding on their blood to survive!
On one occasion, he launched an assault on an island, besieging an entire indigenous tribe. After gorging himself on blood, Nikola ordered the massacre of the village and set fire to the island. As a result, everyone—men, women, and children—was killed. Even more infuriating was that Nikola used dark magic to control a group of Undead!
Only one Undead refused to submit—a wizard from Europe who came with a warship to suppress him. The wizard cast a curse: if Nikola killed another person, he would turn to ashes. Thus, Nikola dared not harm anyone; once the curse was lifted, he would be utterly destroyed. Of course, he would never tell me this part of the story; I only learned it later from a European priest.
The fleeing Undead hid among the indigenous tribe. He buried Nikola's corpse on the island and had the tribe's Dark Sorcerer curse it day and night. Now, over four hundred years had passed, and in half a month, Nikola would completely vanish.
"You deserve your fate!"
"You are a good person; I believe you won't abandon a friend!" Nikola's figure was incredibly agile as he instantly appeared beside Xiao Xiao and grabbed her!
"How about making a deal? You protect my corpse, and I'll trade you your friend. Sir, this is quite a bargain!"
"You're so powerful; why do you need me to do your dirty work?"
"Ugh! I can't dare to show myself; that damned ritual is being held by Bai! And the Holy Blood Cross near the coffin prevents me from entering... So I have to ask you for help!"
"How do I know you won't harm my friend?"
Nikola shook her head lightly. "I respect you, which is why I revealed myself... Do you really not trust me? Ugh..."
Thinking of this, I felt helpless. However, to prevent her from being bitten by a vampire, I had a kind of elixir stored in the hilt of the Azure Dark Sword. This potion, made with the blood of a saintess, could ensure that she wouldn't be harmed by vampires for thirty days. I took out a vial and said, "If you want my help, please let my friend take this pill!"
Nikola shrugged, indicating that I could come closer. I had joked with Xiao Xiao about vampires before, so she knew the effects of this potion and readily swallowed it.
"This is what you wanted to ask me about?"
"That's right! Sir, you know I've asked others before, but it was useless! You, someone who possesses Daoist Arts, I believe you can do it..."
"Enough nonsense. Just tell me how I can help you."
Damn! It seems like having someone with Daoist Arts is going to make this trouble much bigger...
