The distance of several dozen ters was covered in an instant!!
’The source of the sensed crisis is directly above .’ Lu Xun thought.
Boom!
He exited the Void State, returning to a solid form standing three and a half ters tall, with several tons of earth pressing down on his mighty physique. With a sudden leap, accompanied by a thundering roar, he burst through the ground like a gigantic beast, soaring skyward.
To those above, this scene was utterly terrifying.
In the parking lot, the smooth ground suddenly bulged and was torn open as a terrifying behemoth erged.
"Who’s there?" A shocked voice rang out.
In the dim underground parking lot, a pair of blood-red eyes glanced back.
This was a powerful special-level vampire, male. Monts ago, he was pinning a young girl against the wall, tearing open her throat and drinking her blood, enjoying his dinner for the day.
Startled, he instinctively stopped his feeding action, and the girl in his arms, consciousness fading, body limp like noodles, slid to the ground.
The air was filled with dust, dirt, and debris swirling around.
A figure as majestic as a mountain slowly erged from the rolling dust. He was muscular to a jaw-droppingly exaggerated degree, clad in fearso bone armor, with a vertical pupil on his forehead where a soul fire flickered, resembling a mythical demon god co to life!
This visual impact was beyond words, with an overwhelming sense of oppression that made it hard to breathe.
"Hmm? A vampire?"—a voice as deep and thunderous as rolling thunder echoed in the air.
"Damn it!" The vampire cursed inwardly, quickly changing direction and taking a step forward.
Fluttering~
With a flash of dark light, his body transford into hundreds of bats, flapping their wings and scattering in all directions to escape.
"Hmph! Where do you think you’re going?"
A voice like that of a demon god sounded.
The next mont, a gale howled!
The entire underground parking lot was locked down by a powerful storm glowing with blue light. He stood tall, raising his massive arm, standing at the center of the vortex, in the eye of the storm.
Whoosh~
A terrifyingly powerful pull erupted, causing cars to spin and fly around. Thousands of black bats were all drawn back by the storm.
"A Lord-Level creature?!"—a voice rang out in utter terror.
The gale was too strong, leaving nowhere to escape.
One by one, the bats were forced to gather in the air, reassembling into a body.
"So, it’s just a special-level vampire." The man stood like a mountain, sneering as he responded.
With that, he took a large step forward, his mighty body advancing slowly, his voice thick and booming like thunder:
"Stop struggling, ant. I need your whole body intact. I don’t want to smash you into pieces, cooperate a little, and I’ll give you a quick end."
If the remains were too fragnted, the trait points gained from analysis would be significantly reduced.
"Impudent! I am a great mber of the Blood Race!" The vampire roared in anger, his skin pale, his blood pupils enraged, his fangs at the corners of his mouth nacing.
But whether angry or not, he still had to escape.
"Shadow Transformation!"
He shouted, and his body seed to flow into a nearby shadow, rging with the darkness and disappearing without a trace.
Boom!
However, almost simultaneously, a massive arm penetrated the ground, grabbing soone out and clamping the vampire’s arms and torso with a grip.
"So... so fast..." He was terrified to the core, struggling desperately yet to no avail.
The opponent’s five thick fingers were like an unbreakable iron prison, tightly restraining him, leaving him unable to move an inch.
The vampire was about to cast dark magic again, attempting to execute Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell.
"hetui~"
Unexpectedly, a wad of saliva spat onto his face, forcibly interrupting the casting.
In an instant, a mysterious toxin spread throughout his body in 0.01 seconds, paralyzing the vampire, his body seemingly disconnected from his brain... even his brain almost shut down.
The lv5 "Paralysis" trait, also sourced from the Faceless Demon Spider, was quite effective against a re special-level creature.
’Analysis!’ Lu Xun ntally chanted.
[Analyzing... 5%... 10%...]
[...Analysis complete!]
[Trait Points 12,000]
[Recorded: Biological Illustrated Guide x1]

[Perfect projection standard reached, begin projection? Yes/No.]
’No.’
12,000 trait points earned, not bad, a pleasant surprise.
Lu Xun nodded slightly in satisfaction.
"Give up, monster." The vampire in the palm, face twisted, emitted a hysterical roar, "I won’t say anything, you can’t get any useful information from , don’t waste your effort."
Bam!
Lu Xun threw him to the ground, then stomped down with a massive foot.
With a "poof," the head burst like a waterlon, blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
He wasn’t dead yet; the headless body was twitching, with buds of flesh wriggling at the severed neck, as if desperately trying to grow a new head.
The blood race’s life force was extraordinarily tenacious, with so vampires even rumored to be able to achieve Blood Rebirth.
As long as a drop of blood remains, life does not cease.
But it was clear this one didn’t possess that sort of power.
"Undying Body? Not quite, you haven’t mastered it yet."
Lu Xun smirked, flicking his fingers, releasing a green fla of Hellfire onto the vampire.
Whoosh~
In an instant, it lost all its flesh and blood, leaving only a bare skeleton.
He held a drop of blood in his palm, ready to read this guy’s mory using the Red Orge’s Blood-Hunting Soul.
Suddenly rembering sothing, Lu Xun paused slightly, turning his head to look at the girl lying on the ground not far away.
She wasn’t an acquaintance of his.
He had quickly confird this the mont he erged, just a stranger.
As to why her victimization triggered his crisis sensing?
The reason was simple; the cri scene was near the Treasure Pavilion. If she died here, tomorrow the area around the parking lot would be sealed off, controlled, and inspected, which would force him to take a detour to work...
Darn, a false alarm.
Lu Xun thought it was so acquaintance of his in trouble, so he rushed over, but it was just a stranger.
He walked towards the victim, raising his right hand with the palm facing her.
Buzz~
Magic essence surged, rolling in from all directions.
The green ghost horn on the right side of his head glowed with a bright green light.
Circles of "Strong Healing Spirit Light" gathered, pushing forward along his right arm, and sparked from his palm, flooding into the critically injured girl like waves.
In just four or five seconds, her vital signs were out of danger.
Buzz~
Suddenly, crisis sensing burst out from the depths of his heart again.
This ti, it was Lu Xun himself who was in danger.
He reacted extrely quickly, without a mont’s hesitation, and with a thought, his towering three-and-a-half-ter body turned void and invisible, and with a "whoosh," he dove underground and disappeared from the scene.
Only five seconds later.
Screech——
A dazzlingly cool cha armor, spraying pure white particle trails, descended from the sky, landing heavily with a loud boom, reaching the cri scene in an incredibly stylish pose.
This cha stood four ters tall, its body in sky blue, with chunks of heavy alloy armor reflecting tallic luster, retractable chanical wings on its back, and intimidating machine guns scattered throughout, boasting a fierce yet powerful and high-tech appearance.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
More sounds of particle trails erupted as six slightly smaller chas swiftly followed, breaking the sound barrier, with gales lifting the ground as they fell heavily beside the sky-blue cha.
"We ca a few seconds late, the battle’s over." A deep male voice emanated from one of the chas, "The vampire is no longer here."
"No, it’s here." A sensual female voice echoed from the sky-blue cha.
Its faceplate opened with a "shhh," revealing a beautiful face, none other than the Special Envoy of the Imperial Guard—Shi Yanxin.
She raised her massive chanical arm, pointing to a headless skeleton not far away:
"Look~ isn’t that it? Soone acted before us and killed it."
"Strange, where did we get allies from?" A cha scratched its head in confusion.
"Why bother about that? Let’s focus on the task at hand."
Shi Yanxin’s voice was cold and commanding, issuing orders like a queen.
"Yes!"
A subordinate imdiately stepped forward, reaching the vampire’s remains.
The waist of his cha opened with a "click" to reveal a built-in storage space.
From within, he retrieved a boxy, mysterious device.
The device resembled a common "blender" found in kitchens, chanical instrunts forming the base, with a semi-transparent crystal container on top.
He placed the device beside the vampire’s corpse, then pressed a few buttons with "beep beep" sounds, activating the device.
Buzz~
The machine flickered with red lights and vibrated wildly, causing airwaves to ripple around for a few seconds.
Then it stopped vibrating, a green light ca on, indicating completion.
In the glass jar, it seed sothing had been sucked inside.
"Is it done?" Shi Yanxin asked.
"Yes, the soul body of this vampire was not completely dispersed, we captured 76%, the mory might have so gaps, hopefully not in the part we need," the subordinate reported truthfully.
Shi Yanxin activated the cha’s built-in Spiritual Body Recognition System, imdiately seeing through the goggles on the faceplate the soul body within the glass jar.
It appeared in a semi-transparent bluish hue, flickering, with so parts missing; the facial features were the image of the vampire before death, just with vacant eyes, dazed and without sentience.
Soul bodies are extrely fragile, evolving into evil spirits or the Undead Race is very difficult.
The environntal requirents are extrely high.
Without the right environnt, even if a billion people died together, it might not produce a single mber of the Undead Race.
Most life forms after death end up like the vampire’s soul spirit body in the jar, dazed, akin to an idiot.
"The victim is alright, her vital signs are stable... she was healed by soone using healing magic." On the other side, a cha lifted the girl with its palms, after scanning and examination, it reported.
"Alright, Tian Hu, take the soul body back to the base for analysis and extract the mory; Xiao Yang, take the victim to the hospital."
Shi Yanxin issued her commands calmly.
"Captain, how do we handle that mysterious person?" A cha pointed at the alarming large pit in the ground, "Wow, did he erge from deep underground? When did our small, poor Jinghai get such a figure?"
"Don’t worry about him now, we’ll inquire later from 0c." Shi Yanxin waved her hand dismissively, saying lightly, "Eliminate evil and aid the good, he’s probably an ally, not a foe. Let’s focus our efforts on those vampires, clean those wretched rodents swiftly, and bring peace back to Jinghai City."
The mysterious person eliminated the vampire for them and even saved the victim, which clearly made them not an enemy.
Since they weren’t an enemy, why bother with them?
Of course, the battle destroyed many cars, and the public facilities in the parking lot were severely damaged.
But as long as they could take down a vampire, it would still be worth it even if the damage were fifty tis worse.
They were "imperial special envoys for investigation," not peace officers.
"Yes."
"Understood!"
"Roger that, Captain."
The subordinates nodded promptly.
.
.
.
Jinghai City, a certain district, a certain place.
In the underground space.
"How could a vampire appear in the city? What is the city defense system even doing?" Lu Xun couldn’t help but curse.
The Outer City district security wasn’t great to begin with, and now vampires were erging to wreak havoc on the world... even the Inner City isn’t safe anymore.
This small, poor Jinghai City is absurdly abstract, letting in all kinds of monsters and demons.
Suddenly, he rembered the case of the Xu Family earlier.
Based on Xu Tanqing’s mory, not only was the Xu Family smuggling elves, they also got another batch of goods—vampires.
The case had concluded earlier, the elves were rescued, so he didn’t pay much attention to the vampire aspect.
But now it seed, did that batch of "goods" escape?
The recent spate of missing person cases, could it also be the work of vampires?
"There’s really a lot of trouble recently."
Lu Xun sighed, bringing the drop of blood in his palm to his lips, directly activating his special skill—
"Blood-Hunting Soul!"
