"Before we start fighting, I have a question."
Wang Nanxuan casually wrapped an arm around Gwen and asked, "Do you usually brush your fangs?"
Both the Vampires and Gwen froze. What kind of question was that? No, that wasn't the point. At a time like this, he still had the leisure to ask questions?
"Once I turn you into a Vampire, you'll find out whether we brush them or not."
A Vampire lunged at Wang Nanxuan. The next second, he flew backward even faster, crashing into several Vampires behind him and knocking them to the ground. The Vampires flew into a rage and pounced on Wang Nanxuan.
Wang Nanxuan's kicks flashed like lightning, too fast to see clearly. The Vampires charging at him flew backward one after another. Within moments, a whole group of Vampires lay sprawled around him.
Both the Vampires and Gwen were stunned. Gwen cried out, "Kung fu!"
A Vampire drew a pistol from his waist and prepared to shoot Wang Nanxuan. So what if he knew kung fu? Could he be faster than a gun?
How did that saying go again? Beyond ten meters, the gun was faster; within ten meters, the gun was both accurate and fast.
Wang Nanxuan lowered his umbrella. The next second, a gunshot rang out, but the bullet failed to pierce the umbrella canopy. Then Wang Nanxuan snapped the umbrella shut and used it as a club, smashing it heavily into the Vampire's wrist. The Vampire cried out in pain, and the pistol fell to the ground.
The other Vampires attacked Wang Nanxuan again. With one arm around Gwen, Wang Nanxuan rapidly swung his umbrella with the other. Bang, bang, bang! The Vampires were knocked down one after another.
Gwen stared at Wang Nanxuan as he displayed his might, a hint of infatuation in her eyes. Her fear vanished without a trace, leaving only an overwhelming sense of security.
"That was satisfying. It just needed some background music."
Wang Nanxuan was in a good mood. What, why could the umbrella block bullets without breaking? Naturally, it was reinforced by Wang Nanxuan's magic. Otherwise, it would have snapped long ago. It wasn't Wong Fei-hung's indestructible umbrella.
"Impressive kung fu. Unfortunately, you can't kill Vampires like this."
At that moment, a cold voice came from nearby. Then, with a bang, a shotgun fired, sending a barrage of pellets whistling out and tearing through several Vampires' bodies.
The next second, those Vampires disintegrated from skin to flesh, flesh to bone, their entire bodies reduced to ash.
The Vampires were horrified and abruptly turned around. They saw a cool Black man in a leather jacket, crew cut, and sunglasses standing in the doorway with a shotgun in hand.
"It's Blade!"
The Vampires screamed in alarm. Many of them fled madly toward the back like startled rabbits.
The newcomer was none other than the Vampire Hunter, the Daywalker Blade!
As Wang Nanxuan placed a Magic Mark on Blade for tracking and surveillance, he mocked, "You're wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night. Aren't you afraid of walking into a wall?"
"No, because walls aren't as hard as I am. I'm the hardest man alive."
Blade grinned, revealing a mouthful of gleaming white teeth. Then he swiftly fired again. Large numbers of Vampires turned to ash. Gwen stared in disbelief and asked, "Why did people suddenly turn into ash? That isn't scientific."
"They aren't people. They're Vampires."
Wang Nanxuan said with some distaste. Why was he disgusted? Because Vampires had no souls.
"No souls means Vampires are magical creatures. If I'm right, some big shot is using Vampires to gather souls."
A fierce glint flashed through Wang Nanxuan's eyes. In his heart, he sentenced the Vampires to death. Earth's souls all belonged to him. No one was allowed to steal them.
Gwen felt as if her worldview were about to shatter. "Vampires? There are Vampires in this world?"
"This world is bigger than you think. Let's go. We'll leave this place to our Vampire Hunter."
Wang Nanxuan hooked a Vampire with the umbrella handle and dragged him outside. Keith and the others, who had survived by sheer luck, hurriedly followed. They were covered in blood and looked utterly miserable.
In the warehouse outside the bar, Wang Nanxuan released the Vampire and said, "Tell me about Vampires. I'm very interested."
"I'm interested too."
Gwen said. Seeing Wang Nanxuan look at her, she awkwardly added, "I just want to do some academic research."
"Looks like we have a top female student here."
Wang Nanxuan smiled. Keith and the others wanted to leave, but without Wang Nanxuan, they did not dare wander around recklessly. They could only stay where they were.
The Vampire climbed up from the ground and growled at Wang Nanxuan, "You damned humans are nothing but food for our Blood Clan."
Wang Nanxuan shook his head and swung his umbrella, breaking both the Vampire's legs. The Vampire screamed continuously in agony on the ground.
Then Wang Nanxuan asked the others, "Who has something made of silver? Our Vampire is misbehaving. I need to teach him a lesson."
"Something made of silver?"
The Vampire's expression changed drastically. He decisively gave in, clutching his leg as he asked resentfully, "What do you want to know?"
Wang Nanxuan took out his phone and began recording. "Everything. Start from the beginning."
"Starting from the beginning will take a while."
The Vampire said, "The Blood Clan originated in Europe. Later, twelve Pureblood families migrated to North America because of a civil war within the Blood Clan..."
"What do Pureblood families mean?"
Gwen asked. Seeing everyone looking at her, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm just curious."
Wang Nanxuan briefly explained, "Vampires are divided into Pureblood Vampires and Hybrids. Pureblood Vampires are born as Vampires, while Hybrids are humans infected by Pureblood Vampires."
"It's not infection, it's transformation! The Blood Clan is the noblest race!"
The Vampire shouted.
"A bunch of walking corpses that can't stand the light and fear garlic and silver, and you dare call yourselves noble?"
Wang Nanxuan sneered. Impatiently, he said, "Stop wasting my time. Continue."
The Vampire glared hatefully at Wang Nanxuan and continued, "The twelve Pureblood families formed the Vampire Council in North America. They reached an agreement with humans: they would not actively attack humans, and humans would provide them with blood."
Keith realized what was going on and angrily said, "Humans provide you with blood? No wonder blood bank blood is so expensive. So it's all being fed to you Vampires."
"We buy it with money! That blood is not only disgusting, it's incredibly expensive."
The Vampire shouted, "The money we earn through hard work all ends up in human hands. So who are the real Vampires?"
Everyone fell silent. Human capitalists seemed even more Vampire-like than Vampires. One woman said disappointedly, "You're completely different from the aristocrats on TV. I used to be so obsessed with the Blood Clan."
"Those Purebloods are the real aristocrats. They are few in number and possess enormous wealth. Some Purebloods even keep blood slaves and can drink delicious fresh blood from living humans every day."
The Vampire said with envy, jealousy, and hatred, "But their good days are over. Boss Deacon Frost will lead us in overthrowing the Council and turning humans into slaves.
Then we'll be able to drink delicious blood every day, and everyone will live like aristocrats."
Wang Nanxuan scoffed. "Humans aren't as weak as you imagine. In fact, you're the weak ones."
Gwen nodded. "That's right. You fear sunlight. An Ultraviolet Rays lamp could easily wipe you out. As for finding you, that would be even easier. We'd only need to modify an infrared body temperature scanner a little."
