561: Chapter 556: The Injured Vampire 561: Chapter 556: The Injured Vampire “Hmm.”
Ye Tian nodded, the burly men blocking the way, though they appeared formidable, were merely half-baked martial artists.
It was more than enough for Russia’s number one martial artist to deal with them.
Seeing Ye Xuong actually rolling up his sleeves and approaching alone, the leading burly man immediately flew into a rage!
“Bastard!
To think you can storm through by yourself, you’re too arrogant!”
With that said, several burly men surrounded Ye Xuong.
Ye Xuong was not afraid, channeling his Inner Strength into his fists.
Then, with a fierce swing, the force of his punch burst forth, creating a whooshing sound on the spot.
“This, this…”
The leading burly man saw that Ye Xuong’s Inner Strength could evoke such a loud wind, he was instantly stunned.
Though he was a somewhat famous martial artist himself, he rarely encountered a powerhouse like Ye Xuong.
While he was still in astonishment, Ye Xuong had already launched his attack!
“Bang!”
A ruthless punch hit one burly man in the stomach.
The man immediately went limp, losing his ability to fight.
“Don’t be afraid of him!
It’s just one person!”
The leader shouted, and the remaining burly men all pounced towards Ye Xuong.
They had thought that with their numerical advantage, they could take down Ye Xuong, but as the burly men charged, they were knocked over by Ye Xuong’s flurry of punches.
They couldn’t even touch Ye Xuong’s body before they were brought down by him.
The strength of Russia’s number one fighter was not for show; how could these burly men possibly be his match?
“This guy…
is really strong…”
Fear flashed in the leading burly man’s eyes.
Out of everyone, only he was still gasping for air, continuing to charge at Ye Xuong.
But with his ability, how could he possibly shake Ye Xuong?
Ye Xuong merely reached out and caught the man’s neck…
With his palm clamping down like a vise, the burly man had no chance to resist.
With just a bit more force from Ye Xuong, his neck would break.
“Stop!”
Ye Tian called out coldly.
During the fight with these men, Ye Xuong’s beastly nature was gradually being provoked.
If he didn’t intervene, it was likely that these burly men would die at Ye Xuong’s hands.
“Yes, boss!”
Ye Xuong immediately released his grasp, and the leader barely escaped with his life.
This leading man realized that although Ye Xuong was formidable, Ye Tian had stopped him with just a word, which showed that Ye Tian’s strength was even greater than Ye Xuong’s.
Though of medium stature, Ye Tian seemed even more powerful!
Just how formidable was this young Asian man?
Of course, neither Ye Tian nor Ye Xuong took these defeated burly men seriously.
After the men lost the ability to resist, the two continued up the mountain.
They did not take the main path but instead went straight through the forest…
The burly men lying on the ground watched Ye Tian’s and Ye Xuong’s movements and were dumbstruck.
Just how skilled were these two men in Qinggong?
They saw Ye Tian and Ye Xuong springing to the tops of the trees, using the branches and leaves to move quickly, just like birds soaring.
Who in the world could perform such miraculous Qinggong skills?
“Right!
We need to quickly inform the others!”
The burly men watched the retreating figures of Ye Tian and Ye Xuong, almost ensnared by the sight.
Only after a long while did they remember to notify their companions…
Meanwhile, Ye Tian and Ye Xuong reached the old castle situated halfway up the mountain in just a few moments.
The castle’s gates were tightly shut, giving off an ominous feeling.
Ye Tian and Ye Xuong paused at the entrance when the doors suddenly opened.
Ye Xuong sighed and said, “Such child’s play for traps, they expect to deal with us with this?
Aren’t they underestimating us a bit too much?”
Ye Tian also laughed, “If Dracula could only set traps to deal with enemies, he wouldn’t have caught my eye!”
With that, they slowly entered the castle…
Upon reaching the courtyard of the castle, which was pitch-dark, suddenly, lights came on, illuminating the entire courtyard as bright as day!
“Hahaha!
I thought at first who had barged in, turns out it is just two fools!”
Laughing loudly from the wall, a man held a pistol, aiming it at Ye Tian and Ye Xuong.
Besides him, Ye Tian and Ye Xuong saw dozens of people standing on the wall, each with a bow and arrow in hand, the blades pointing towards them…
“You are surrounded!
Give up any thought of rescuing the vampire!
The strongest from all over Europe have gathered here; no one is getting away today!”
The man roared, and then he swung his hand heavily.
Under his command, all the archers released their arrows, and in an instant, a dense shower of arrows flew towards them, intent on turning Ye Tian and Ye Xuong into porcupines.
In the face of such a swift attack, Ye Tian and Ye Xuong remained unmoved.
Ye Tian slowly exerted his strength, projecting his Inner Strength to form a solid wall of qi around him and Ye Xuong.
“Clang clang clang clang clang clang~~~~~~~~~”
Arrows that hit the qi wall all broke apart, bewildering all the archers and their leading man.
Everyone indeed had heard of a martial art called “Hard Qigong” which could render one impervious to blades and spears after practicing it, but they had never seen someone who could actually form a wall of Inner Strength for defense.
Isn’t that a bit too mystical?
“The strongest fighters in all of Europe?
Aren’t they a bit too easily defeated?”
Ye Xuong sneered, and taking advantage of the archers’ astonishment, suddenly exerted force and pounced toward the top of the wall like a fierce beast.
The archers simply had no time to react.
As Russia’s top fighter, Ye Xuong was agile and quick.
With a single wave of his hand, several archers were sent flying.
“Bastard!”
The man in the lead immediately opened fire, but how could the bullets from a handgun penetrate Ye Xuong’s thick skin?
The bullets fired were deflected by Ye Xuong’s skin, and Ye Xuong took the opportunity to close in on this man.
The man was also quite a strong martial artist.
Seeing Ye Xuong kill his way over, he immediately took action.
His hand chop was no less sharp than a bullet, aiming straight for Ye Xuong’s face.
However, compared to Ye Xuong, this man’s martial might seemed far too inferior.
Ye Xuong lightly deflected the attack, the man’s offensive instantly dissipated, and then, the man lost his balance and fell from the top of the wall.
Ye Tian grabbed the man’s collar, flipped down the wall, and brought the man before Ye Tian…
Seeing this, the other archers knew that Ye Tian and Ye Xuong were extraordinarily strong and dared not ambush them any longer, and all fled in a dismal state.
“Boss, how should we deal with this person?”
Ye Xuong asked for Ye Tian’s opinion.
“Spare me!
Please, spare my life!”
Seeing how formidable Ye Xuong was, and this Chinese man in front of him addressing Ye Tian as “Boss,” he clearly was even more formidable.
The man could only kneel and beg for mercy.
Ye Tian sneered, “I can spare your life, but you must tell me, what exactly has happened tonight in this ancient castle!”
“I’ll tell!
I’ll tell everything!”
Seeing a chance to live, the man immediately nodded and bowed profusely.
“Tonight, all of Europe’s strongest fighters were invited here to besiege the vampire!
We must eliminate this fiend!”
“Vampire?
Could it be referring to Dracula?”
Ye Xuong asked in surprise, and the man nodded again.
“Yes, him!
Dracula has committed all manner of evil within Europe’s borders.
It’s said that a month ago, a French tour group disappeared near Bucharest, and everyone agreed that it was Dracula’s doing.
So, the Widow brought us here to confront Dracula.
If the evidence is solid, we will kill him!”
“The Widow?”
Hearing the name “The Widow,” Ye Xuong was also taken aback.
“This woman also came?
It’s no wonder since she’s French.”
Ye Xuong sighed.
Being Russia’s top fighter, he naturally had heard of The Widow’s notoriety.
The Widow, Elira, has been wearing black garments since her husband’s death, never changing her attire for decades, which is why she was dubbed The Widow.
If Ye Xuong was Russia’s No.1 fighter, then The Widow was undeniably France’s No.1!
“Heh, The Widow, huh?”
Ye Tian also laughed.
How could he, the King of the Night, not know the name of The Widow?
Of course, Ye Tian didn’t think Ye Xuong would lose to a woman!
“Ye Xuong, when it comes to fighting The Widow, are you confident of winning?”
Ye Tian asked Ye Xuong, who then snorted and said, “If it’s a real fight, I can win against her!”
“That’s the spirit, Ye Xuong!”
Ye Tian smiled and said nothing more, but lightly touched the neck of the man that Ye Xuong was holding, and the man immediately passed out.
“Let’s go.”
With that, Ye Tian and Ye Xuong entered the inner precincts of the castle.
Passing through the alleys of the inner precincts, lights were everywhere, and after traversing this alleyway, which was a hundred meters long, Ye Tian and Ye Xuong finally reached the hall of the ancient castle.
Because of their exceptional Qinggong, the people in the hall did not notice their arrival…
Ye Tian and Ye Xuong quietly hid and watched…
There were at least dozens of people in the hall.
In the center of the hall, one person sat cross-legged, obviously suffering from significant injuries.
— This person was precisely the one the European martial artists called “The Vampire,” Dracula!
Behind Dracula, several martial artists also sat cross-legged.
They were naturally Dracula’s subordinates, all heavily injured, with the most seriously wounded already lying on the ground, lifeless.
“Vampire!
This time, you have nowhere to run!
I will make you pay for the lives of our fallen comrades!”
Opposite Dracula, a woman dressed in black declared loudly, clearly the top French expert, The Widow.
Behind The Widow stood martial artists in various outfits, apparently specially summoned by her from all over the place, and each one of them exuded tremendous power.
“The Widow!”
Despite his grave injuries, Dracula’s mouth did not rest, and he kept cursing incessantly.
“I, Dracula, always admit to the things I’ve done.
If it wasn’t done by me, even if you kill me, I will not confess!
Those Frenchmen were not killed by me!”
