"Back!"
William and Qin Tian threw the three-horned deer onto the ground, and the rest of them eagerly gathered around, their craving for blood reaching its peak.
"Boss, you pick one first."
William said to Klaus.
Klaus glanced over, then chose the smallest of the deer, saying, "This one is for me. The rest, you divide among yourselves."
"Alright."
Without saying a word, Williamâs two sharp fangs emerged, biting directly into the neck of the deer.
Gulp, gulpâ
The blood continuously poured into his mouth, and Williamâs face showed a look of enjoyment.
The other vampires, seeing this, also immediately began to eat, some biting the neck, some biting the legs. Instantly, a strong scent of blood spread through the forest.
This also included Qin Tian.
The sweet, warm blood entered his mouth, activating all the taste bud cells, like a refreshing ice-cold Coke on a hot summer day, impossible to stop.
Klausâs gaze fell on Qin Tian, and upon seeing him immersed in the pleasure of blood sucking, his doubts finally dissipated.
After being with him for over ten years, he was immensely familiar with this trusted aide, Tibiger. Even just a glance, a micro-expression, he could discern Tibigerâs true thoughts.
But just now, he felt Tibiger was acting strange, his smiles, his tone, and responses were completely different from usual, causing him to doubt Tibiger.
To verify his doubts, he used hunting as a pretext to send Tibiger away and had William, who was always at odds with Tibiger, follow. Meanwhile, he entered the cave to check inside.
In the cave, a young girl lay half-clothed, unconscious on the ground, her pants pulled down to her ankles. There were clear strangulation marks on her neck, evidently Tibigerâs doing, as the humid air retained a touch of a peculiar scent.
Seeing this scene, Klausâs suspicion slightly abated.
And when he saw Qin Tian feeding in the manner of a vampire, and a faint dark aura emanating from him, all doubts finally vanished.
Perhaps someone could look like Tibiger, but they wouldnât simultaneously possess the abilities of the bloodline.
"I should eat too."
Klaus grabbed the deerâs neck and took a bite.
As a Tier Five Viscount bloodline, Klausâs body was like a bottomless pit, and before other vampires were even full, he had drained the entire deerâs blood.
"Ah, satisfying."
William released his grip, blood trickling down his mouth, his once pale lips becoming as crimson as blood, revitalizing him completely.
"The taste of deer blood is top-notch, just a pity about the quality. If only it were Spirit Beast Blood," the tall, thin vampire said, clicking his tongue.
Klaus licked the residual blood in his mouth; the taste of this deer was surprisingly good, leaving him wanting more.
At this time, Qin Tian also stopped, retracting his sharp teeth, his pupils flashing with a strange, bloody light.
"After drinking this deer blood, I feel a bit hot~"
Another long-haired vampire removed his black trench coat, but after taking off one layer, he still felt unbearably hot, so he removed his tight undershirt as well, revealing his pale upper body.
"Yeah, Iâm feeling hot too,"
The other vampires felt the same way, and all began removing their clothes, their faces flaming red as if on fire.
"Exactly, Iâm feeling hot too."
Klaus took off his outer coat, but suddenly, his pupils contracted.
Somethingâs wrong!
A dangerous alarm rang in Klausâs mind; vampires have a cold nature and hardly ever experience "heat".
And now, everyone felt feverishly hot, which was certainly abnormal.
"Ah, ah, ah, itâs so hot, Iâm going to burn up."
William stripped down to just his underwear, his entire body red like a boiled shrimp, about to burst, yelling continuously as he plunged into the creek nearby, his consciousness gradually fading.
The others fared no better than William, stripping off their clothes one by one, jumping into the stream, yelling in agony.
Klaus kneeled on the ground, his body trembling slightly, constantly emitting heat.
Thud, thudâ
Several vampires collapsed one after another, twitching a few times before falling silent.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes
Klaus couldnât hold on either, toppling forward.
Yet before he completely hit the ground, Klaus suddenly vanished into thin air.
Bangâ
A bullet struck where Klaus had just been, burrowing into the ground; even a split second later and Klaus would have been hit.
Klaus stood on a branch, overlooking the figure emerging from the water below, bare-chested, holding a sniper rifle. He squeezed out a few words through his teeth:
"Who are you?"
At this moment, Klaus was both shocked and angry; he hadnât anticipated that there really was something wrong with this Tibiger.
He wasnât Tibiger, but someone in disguise.
However, what he couldnât understand was how this person replicated the bloodlineâs power so convincingly that even he couldnât spot any flaws.
Qin Tianâs body grew taller, his facial skin rippling, quickly turning into a new face as he looked calmly at Klaus and said:
"Eagle Military Academy, Ye Fan."
Ye Fan, the face-changing ability
"Ye Fan, alright, Iâll remember you!"
Klaus gave Qin Tian a deep look, as if wanting to imprint that face onto his soul, meanwhile exerting all his power to mobilize Spiritual Energy and Qi & Blood, suppressing the toxin spreading within his body.
Remember me?
Then make sure you remember me clearly
Anyway, thatâs not my name, nor is that my face.
If you dare, go find Emperor Ye.
Qin Tianâs expression remained unchanged, as the system continuously notified him of four waves of Evolution Points credited to his account, four Talent Light Spheres flew out from the vampires, entering his body.
The only thing missing was Klausâs Evolution Points and talent
So he knew that this vampire leader wasnât dead, but surely wasnât having an easy time.
He had poisoned the deer with a mixed poison, combining the newly acquired Purple Ink Mandala with another toxin, Blood Burning.
This toxin had a potent effect on cold-bodied beings; it worked effectively on the Snake-men and equally well on vampires.
He just didnât know how this vampire suppressed the poison.
Bamâ
Qin Tian pulled the trigger, a bullet firing from the Shadowstrike Rune Spear, aimed straight at Klausâs face.
Klaus flashed his figure, easily dodging the bullet, then like a giant bat, swooping at Qin Tian with tremendous speed, dark red Spiritual Energy coating his sharp claws, striking like lightning toward Qin Tianâs throat.
The Shadowstrike Sniper Rifle was discarded on the ground, replaced in Qin Tianâs hands by a chilling Black Frost Blade.
Lightning entwined upon the Black Frost, driven by a terrifying power, slashing fiercely at Klaus.
Clangâ
The blade was blocked by the claws, the powerful impact rippling outward, tearing up the sod and rustling the leaves.
Qin Tianâs feet skimmed the ground, retreating tens of meters, carving a straight trench in the soft soil.
"Youâre also a Spiritualist?"
Klaus looked at Qin Tian in shock and doubt; the ability to change appearance is a Superpower Userâs technique, yet this guy named Ye Fan then used Spiritual Energy.
There are those who practice both Superpower and Spiritual Energy, but all of them are madmen.
The reason is simple: the awakening of superpowers is extremely dangerous, with a 70% mortality rate after injecting the Superpower Awakening Potion.
Thus, those who succeed in awakening Spiritual Energy almost never consider the path of superpowers.
Qin Tian did not respond, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
This vampire was truly terrifyingly strong.
Being able to suppress the Purple Ink Mandala and Blood-Burning Mixed Poison, his strength should be above Tier Five.
Tier Five, this was the strongest enemy Qin Tian had faced thus far.
