“What the hell is going on…”
Seeing that what emerged from the thick smoke was actually a human figure, the black man in the jacket widened his eyes.
His speech had already lost its usual refinement.
“Obviously, the guy down there isn’t human.”
James’s eyes shifted slightly.
“I’ve never heard of a vampire being able to do something like that.”
Victoria quietly stepped back behind James and the black man.
At this point, the three of them had completely forgotten about Jeffrey on the ground. All their attention was fixed on the figure below.
Then they noticed that the other party had, at some unknown point, raised his head and was looking directly at where they stood.
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”
Victoria was the most timid of the group. Just one exchanged glance with the black-haired young man was enough to fill her with unprecedented fear, and she immediately looked away.
“James, Laurent, we should leave right now.”
“I was thinking the same thing.”
Laurent deeply agreed.
The two turned their gaze to James, only to see a look on his face that they knew all too well. Their hearts immediately sank.
Sure enough, seeing the black-haired young man meet his gaze without flinching, a smile tugged at the corner of James’s mouth.
“No rush. Let’s watch a little longer.”
——
Su Fan had already noticed the commotion on the rooftop while battling the bat demon in the sky.
A small temple breeds big winds; shallow waters harbor many turtles.
Who would have thought that in this remote mountain town, besides the bat demon, there would also be vampires?
The way these three were dressed gave Su Fan a very familiar feeling.
His fall toward this direction had been intentional.
He just hadn’t expected that the other party would refuse to leave, seemingly wanting to watch the duel between him and the bat demon.
Speaking of the bat demon…
Su Fan looked down at the monster beneath his feet.
Its tattered coat had long been completely worn away during the slide down from the mountain.
The heat generated by high-speed friction could melt even steel. The surface of its black flesh was now covered in a charred shell.
However, after the shell cracked open, fresh tissue was growing madly from within.
Starting from bone, then muscle tissue, then blood vessels, skin, and hair…
In less than three breaths, its limbs had already regenerated.
It frantically shook its body, trying to throw Su Fan off.
Su Fan looked down, raised his right foot, and brought it down heavily.
After a tremor that spread through the entire chemical plant, the ground cracked inch by inch. With Su Fan as the center, the earth within a radius of more than ten meters caved in.
The flesh that had just shown signs of revival was once again reduced to a shapeless mess, bursting apart into fragments.
Even so, these fragments seemed to possess their own consciousness, constantly squirming and gathering toward the center, trying to reform into a complete individual.
Seeing this, Su Fan couldn’t help but feel curious.
This demon had been crushed the entire time, completely on the receiving end of a one-sided beating, yet its recovery speed was incredibly fast.
Although its wings had been severed by Su Fan shortly after the fight began, they had regrown immediately before it even hit the ground.
From the start of the battle until now, the flesh and bone Su Fan had cut away was already enough to reconstruct more than a dozen bat demons of the same build.
Even a sword edge reinforced with spiritual power couldn’t stop its regeneration.
This thing’s actual strength wasn’t great, but its health bar was thick and then some.
How strange.
Did he need to use Demon Slaying?
Su Fan raised his right hand, and a silver streak of light fell from the night sky, landing perfectly in his palm.
The long sword flew at incredible speed, air currents sweeping up fallen leaves.
This scene fell completely within the view of the three figures above.
They seemed to reach some kind of consensus in an instant, turned, and fled rapidly into the distance. In the blink of an eye, they had already covered nearly a hundred meters.
With his free left index finger and middle finger, Su Fan simultaneously drew talismans in the air.
Two completely different talismans quickly took shape—and then began to merge together!
Afterward, as if possessing their own consciousness, they flew off in the direction the three figures had fled!
Combined Script.
One of the special abilities of the Tongtian Talisman.
It fused two talismans with different effects to unleash their power together.
The two talismans Su Fan had just combined were the Ghost Wandering Record—nimble, swift, and capable of winding pursuit—and the Immobilization Talisman, which could render enemies unable to move, stiff as clay sculptures.
Within two breaths, Su Fan had already cast two more identical Combined Script talismans.
[There’s still an injured person…]
Su Fan drew another talisman. His left index finger still traced the Ghost Wandering Record, but what his middle finger drew had changed to a talisman specifically for healing.
He had already seen through his spiritual sense the white young man lying on the balcony, barely clinging to life.
The latter’s condition was not optimistic—his breathing was gradually growing weaker.
But after a streak of spiritual light entered his body, his condition improved somewhat.
Still, Su Fan himself knew this was only a stopgap measure.
The young man’s internal organs were damaged. If he didn’t receive medical treatment soon, his chances were grim.
In that instant, the flesh below suddenly stirred.
The bat demon’s flesh stopped gathering and suddenly began to spread out, transforming into the shape of wings as it flew upward!
Su Fan’s gaze sharpened at the sight.
He wasn’t the only one who had noticed there were humans upstairs.
The bat demon fed on human flesh and was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. Even without a nose, it could still catch the faint scent of blood in the air.
Su Fan leaped up and, in midair, executed his newly comprehended swordsmanship.
The sword light flowed like rivers, endlessly generating, impenetrable.
It annihilated all the flesh that sought to attack the humans.
Then his sword technique changed, like a heavenly dike tilting over, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, striking down at the bat demon below that had just finished regenerating and was about to flee!
As if sensing its end was near, the bat demon opened its massive mouth.
The next second, Su Fan’s long sword had already fallen!
The power within Demon Slaying—enough to annihilate gods and demons—reduced the bat demon’s body to lifeless mud in almost the blink of an eye.
But before that, a tiny piece of flesh tissue had been ejected at a speed faster than a bullet!
In an instant, it escaped the range that Su Fan’s spiritual sense could capture.
Damn it…
Su Fan frowned.
He had originally thought this beast was about to let out a roar, but never expected that at the moment of death, it would pull something like this.
Although the main body was dead, the separated flesh still existed. If it could devour enough flesh and blood, there was no telling whether it might rise again.
It was too late to track it now. That would have to wait for another day.
Su Fan didn’t hesitate. He immediately leaped onto the rooftop, first flinging out his long sword to pursue the ones whose movements had been sealed by the Ghost Wandering Record and Immobilization Talisman.
Then he checked the injuries of the wounded on the ground. The white young man’s broken ribs had pierced into his internal organs. His condition was dire.
By all logic, he should have been doomed, but his luck was good—he had run into someone on vacation in a good mood.
Su Fan hoisted the man onto his shoulder, recalled his long sword, and rode the wind, flying toward the nearest clinic.
