Xiang Kun judged that the vampire behind him probably wouldn't attack him directly on the main road. After all, there were still quite a few cars and pedestrians around, which would easily attract too much attention. If someone took a video and posted it online, they would both become "famous," and inevitably attract the attention of the authorities.
Since the other party has managed to survive until now, they must understand the importance of keeping a low profile to protect themselves.
Of course, if the other party really makes a sudden attack right here, then Xiang Kun has nothing to say but one word...
Run!
If he were to face an ordinary person, he was confident he could subdue them if he played his cards right. But if his opponent was also a vampire, things were unpredictable. Even if he won, he might end up attracting attention along with the vampire.
However, it seems that the other party might still think that Xiang Kun hasn't noticed him, so they want to follow him slowly for now.
Since we don't plan to run away, we need to find a suitable place.
Xiang Kun mentally searched the surrounding terrain and quickly found a target. He then changed direction, crossed the road, and headed west.
The vampires followed at a leisurely pace, maintaining a distance of forty or fifty meters.
This distance is actually very short for tracking, making it easy to lose track of someone, but the other person seemed very confident and not afraid of being shaken off by Xiang Kun at all.
Of course, it's also possible that he felt Xiang Kun hadn't discovered him yet.
However, as Xiang Kun led him into increasingly desolate areas, even bypassing a botanical garden at the foot of a mountain and heading towards an area with no paved roads and no lights, he should have sensed that something was wrong.
But he didn't give up and followed, even shortening the distance between himself and Xiang Kun.
Xiang Kun finally stopped, looked up at the sky, as if admiring the moon.
This isn't some desolate wilderness. Around this mountain, many tourist and residential areas have been developed. Just over a hundred meters from here, you'll see a botanical garden, and a little further on, a bonsai garden and a golf club.
However, hidden by the rocky cliffs at the foot of the mountain, a small patch of undeveloped wasteland has been separated. There are no residents in sight, only the flashing headlights of cars on the highway and the neon lights of the city in the distance.
Normally, no one would come here in the middle of the night.
The vampire following behind Xiang Kun slowly walked over and asked, "When did you notice me?"
Listen to that voice, that deep, magnetic baritone voice—isn't that the kind of sexy male voice that girls love most?
He's handsome, has a pleasant voice, and a thick head of hair.
Xiang Kun felt inexplicably irritated...
He turned around, and by the moonlight, he sized up the vampire while reaching into his pocket to grasp the carving knife, removing the sheath with his thumb.
Now that we're face to face, there's no turning back.
"What do you want with me?" Xiang Kun asked indifferently.
The vampire opposite him chuckled, "Didn't you ask me to meet you in this city? But I'm curious, since you stood me up during the day, why are you back now? Oh well, a late meeting is better than a missed one."
He paused slightly, looked around, and continued, "When you saw me, your first reaction was to run away, but you also instinctively wanted to make contact with me, so you led me here?"
Xiang Kun didn't answer, but his brain was working at lightning speed, collecting and analyzing the various sensory information from the vampire.
Based on his walking posture, the position of his limbs when he landed, the pressure he exerted on the grass when he stepped on the ground, as well as his breathing and heartbeat rhythm, Xiang Kun concluded that he was much lighter than himself and probably not as strong, but he was likely stronger in speed and agility. Judging from the smell, he was not carrying any firearms, nor could he see any long knives; at most, he probably only had short knives or daggers.
The vampire continued with a warm smile, "This is our destiny, the survival of the fittest, the law of nature. For others, it's the choice of nature, but for us, it's the call of fate, a curse in our blood, something we cannot resist..."
As he spoke, he slowly walked towards Xiang Kun, his voice unhurried. "But don't be afraid, don't be nervous, don't worry. I'm different. I won't hurt you. I'll answer all your questions, help you with your food problem, guide you, and protect you..."
Although his expression was gentle and he had a smile on his face, and his voice was pleasant to listen to like a gentle rain, Xiang Kun naturally did not think that he was there to help him. After activating his night vision ability, he could see that a small white knife had been discreetly slid out of the other man's sleeve and was being held in his hand.
"Trust me, I'll show you what a real vampire is like."
The other person's smile grew even brighter, and before they knew it, they had walked to within Xiang Kun.
Xiang Kun seemed to be petrified, his feet rooted to the spot, standing motionless with his eyes staring straight ahead. However, the color of his pupils looked very strange in the night, but the other party did not seem to care.
After walking up to Xiang Kun, the vampire casually but swiftly raised his right hand, gripping the small white knife, and slashed at Xiang Kun's neck from right to left.
The vampire's sword-wielding movement was actually very sudden and fast, but with Xiang Kun's night vision and extremely strong dynamic vision, he could see every movement clearly. He even had time to observe the details of the vampire clenching his teeth and tensing his cheek muscles when he suddenly exerted force.
Xiang Kun did not dodge. When the blade was still 20 centimeters away from him, he raised his right hand and firmly grasped the man's wrist. Then, he squeezed it tightly and twisted it counterclockwise, causing the small white knife to slip from the man's hand.
Xiang Kun caught the falling knife with his left hand.
The vampire's eyes widened, his warm and composed smile instantly freezing, and he instinctively said, "How is this possible? Your strength..."
The vampire was shocked, Xiang Kun was equally surprised. He had just adjusted his physical condition to its best and had been preparing his emotions, ready to make eye contact with the vampire the moment he made his move, focus his emotions on him, and launch a surprise attack of "Mental Intimidation." Then he would pull his right hand out of his pocket and use the carving knife to stab the vampire's eyes.
But when he saw the other party make a move, he suddenly changed his plan.
In fact, the instant his opponent made their move, several new plans had already formed in his mind based on his predictions.
Unexpectedly, she actually grabbed his wrist so easily, completely overwhelming him in terms of strength, speed, and reaction.
His brain had already made this judgment the moment the opponent made the move, but he was still somewhat surprised and astonished when he actually did it.
Although this vampire's movements were already quite fast compared to ordinary people, and his strength was not insignificant either.
But compared to Xiang Kun, he's not even a fraction of the same caliber.
If the limit for an average person is a 100-horsepower family car, then this vampire is at most a 180-horsepower sports sedan, while Xiang Kun is a 1000-horsepower supercar. Under normal circumstances, the difference is not noticeable, but once it comes to a head-to-head battle, he is completely crushed.
This kind of physical suppression can be felt by both parties instantly after physical contact occurs.
That's all?
How dare they brazenly come to hunt me down?
And you want me to know "what a real vampire is like"?
The unexpected and surprising feeling even caused him to lose control of the emotions he had been building up for half a day, preventing him from using his "Mental Intimidation" ability.
It's like throwing a punch with all your might, only to hit a cotton "sandbag" instead; or like building up RPMs and launching off, only to find your opponent has stalled.
I recommend Xiong Lang Gou's "Tomorrow's Calamity," it's been quite exciting with its recent climaxes.
