Chapter 40 Vampire Hunter (Ch 40)

Mo Yingchen shook his wrist, and the sharp whistling sound of the Tang sword being unsheathed was heard.

There was a flash of cold light, and the black shadow broke off.

A vampire bat cut in two lay on the ground, its dark red blood seeping into the soil.

Xia Yunxi turned around, her eyes flashing with a strange light under the moonlight.

“Thank you.” There was a hint of warmth in the cold voice.

Mo Yingchen put the Tang sword back into the scabbard and shook his head slightly.

The power of resurrection of the dead surged, and the three werewolf corpses stood up again.

“Let’s keep moving forward,” he ordered calmly.

The team set out on their journey again, their footsteps echoing in the silent forest.

Yan Zhipeng sat in a wheelchair, looking thoughtfully at the two figures in front of him.

The dense forest gradually became sparse, revealing more open space.

In the distance, the outline of an ancient castle is looming in the moonlight, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

……

Moonlight shone on the massive stone brick exterior of the vampire castle.

The three of them stood in front of the heavy oak door.

The iron door knocker was covered with mottled verdigris.

A teeth-grinding creaking sound echoed in the silent night.

The heavy door slowly opened inward.

The smell of rotten wood mixed with a faint smell of blood hit me in the face.

Xia Yunxi stepped towards the door, but her wrist was grabbed.

Mo Yingchen’s slender fingers tightly clasped her slender wrist.

He shook his head and signaled her to look to the side.

A solitary watchtower stood in the moonlight.

“Let’s go over there first.” His voice was low and firm.

The images from my memory flashed through my mind.

There is a secret passage hidden beneath that watchtower.

The passage leads directly to the armory deep in the castle.

A heavy rune door completely isolates the armory from the interior of the castle.

Countless candidates missed this place as it was a closed area.

Until the secret realm is solidified into a normal copy.

Several dedicated map developers discovered this secret accidentally.

And that chilling… nightmare in the arsenal.

This nightmare is Mo Yingchen’s goal today.

……

The inside of the watchtower was empty and quiet.

The walls are covered with thick moss, like traces of time.

The moonlight shone through the narrow arrow slits, and silver spots danced on the ground.

Mo Yingchen’s eyes were like a scanner, carefully examining each brick.

His fingertips lightly touched a protruding stone, “Here.” The voice was decisive.

Xia Yunxi and Yan Zhipeng moved closer, their eyes focused on a stone brick engraved with runes.

Mo Yingchen covered the runes with his palm and injected his mental power like a trickle.

The rune emitted a faint blue light, and the ground slowly cracked with a roar, revealing a staircase.

“Watch your step.”

He spoke in a steady tone and stepped onto the stairs.

The air was damp and chilly, and the stone steps were thick with dust.

At the end of the passage, torches burned quietly, with light and shadows interweaving.

The middle-aged man stood in the middle, his eyes sweeping over the three people like a knife.

“Young men, are you here to defeat the Vampire Count?”

Mo Yingchen was silent, and the Tang sword slowly came out of its sheath.

The blade flashed coldly, cutting through the dark night.

Xia Yunxi frowned slightly, “Mo Yingchen?”

Under Mo Yingchen’s command, all the skeleton warriors rushed forward instantly.

“Yan Zhipeng, go all out against the vampire hunter.” Mo Yingchen suddenly spoke.

“Ah? Isn’t that used against friendly forces?” Yan Zhipeng was stunned.

He subconsciously checked the talent description and suddenly his eyes lit up.

“It didn’t say it can only be used against friendly forces…”

Yan Zhipeng raised his hand and released his talent. A golden light enveloped the vampire hunter like a holy fire.

[Go for broke: Increases the target’s ability to recover from each attack, but at the same time makes the target vulnerable, doubling all damage received.]

In an instant, the hunter’s aura became violent, and dark red light wrapped around his whole body like blood, making people shudder.

“Looking for death!” the hunter roared, his eyes bloodshot.

The long sword in his hand was swung suddenly, and the blade drew a cold light in the air and pierced straight towards Mo Yingchen.

At that moment, his speed was as fast as lightning, almost turning into a blurry afterimage.

Mo Yingchen’s pupils shrank slightly, he misstepped, and slid backwards like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the attack.

However, the hunter did not stop. He swung the sword in his hand continuously, and the sword energy swept towards Mo Yingchen like a storm.

Each strike was breathtakingly fast, and each slash was accompanied by a whistling sound that tore through the air.

The figure of the phantom assassin quietly emerged behind the hunter, and the hell short blade flashed with dark blue flames, drawing a graceful arc and going straight to the hunter’s back.

However, the hunter seemed to have eyes on his back. He twisted his body strangely and swung his sword back at an incredible angle.

“Dang!” The short blade collided with the long sword, and the crisp sound of metal hitting each other echoed in the hall, and sparks flew everywhere.

Upon seeing this, Xia Yunxi flashed and the long sword in his hand burst out with a dazzling cold light. Extremely cold ice flames wrapped around the sword, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Her sword light poured out like flowing water, her movements were as graceful as dancing, but the sword tip was as sharp as a knife.

The hunter’s movements paused slightly. A thin layer of frost had formed on his arms. The cold air spread through his blood, making his movements slightly slow.

The hunter snorted coldly and stomped the ground hard, causing the stone bricks under his feet to crack instantly.

His figure was like an arrow shot from a bow, and he instantly rushed in front of Xia Yunxi, sweeping his sword across, and the sword energy crushed him like a torrent.

Xia Yunxi’s pupils shrank slightly, and he retreated quickly. The tip of his sword flashed a cold light and collided head-on with the hunter’s sword energy, causing a deafening roar.

At this moment, the zombie’s huge body rushed out from the shadows and pounced on the hunter with devastating force.

The hunter swept his sword across, the sword energy was like a rainbow, and it slashed fiercely on the zombie’s chest.

The zombie did not dodge at all, allowing the sword energy to cut deep wounds on its body, and black blood oozed out of the wounds.

But its movements did not slow down at all, and its sharp claws filled with corpse poison grabbed the hunter’s chest fiercely.

The hunter took several steps back, the leather armor on his chest was torn, revealing a bleeding wound.

His expression changed slightly, he looked down at his wound, frowning, “Corpse poison…”

As the corpse poison took effect, his movements became noticeably slower.

However, at the moment when the hunter’s movements slowed down, his eyes suddenly turned scarlet and the blood in his body seemed to boil.

He let out an angry roar towards the sky, and his entire body entered a brief state of frenzy, with his attack speed and damage increasing instantly.

His sword was waving like a hurricane, and the sword energy was crisscrossing, making it difficult for Xia Yunxi and the zombies to get close to him for a while.

“Berserk state…” Mo Yingchen’s eyes focused, and he whispered, “Phantom Thorn, attack.”

The Phantom Thorn’s figure merged into the shadows once again, its ability to travel through shadows allowing it to appear behind the Hunter like a ghost.

At the same time, the phantom thorn’s short blade was raised high, with hellfire burning on the blade, stabbing towards the hunter’s back with a breath of destruction.
