Chapter 1 The Bitter End

After hearing Fang Senyan's words, the vampire Edward shook his neck a few times, his face showing anger and disdain. Just as he was about to speak, he frowned, turned his head, and looked at Crowbar, who was weakly propping himself against a tree and gasping for breath.

"Sir, I regret to inform you that the life essence I just absorbed has been exhausted. If I can't get a continued supply, then I'll have to leave this plane and return home—although I'm very eager to teach this fellow in front of me a lesson and make him understand the dire consequences of insulting a polite gentleman!" Crowbar had already had his life force absorbed once by the vampire Edward, who had made it clear that another absorption would kill him. However, given Crowbar's current state, could he afford to let this vampire Edward leave?

Just as Fang Senyan would gamble everything, even his life, on this battle, Crowbar was also a person who couldn't afford to lose. If Fang Senyan took everything from him here, even if he didn't die, the frustration of failure and the ensuing severe punishment would make it difficult for him to recover.

So, after giving Fang Senyan a venomous look, Crowbar tore open his shirt, exposing his chest. His face twisted as he said, word by word:

"Continue!"

The vampire Edward bowed slightly, saying in an admiring tone:

"Oh, sir, I commend your courage... and your generosity, of course. I assure you, your wish will be fulfilled."

He spoke with elegance, but almost in the blink of an eye, he had darted in front of Crowbar. Two sharp fangs pierced deeply into Crowbar's large neck veins, greedily sucking. After two or three seconds, Crowbar slumped to the ground like a puddle of mud. However, a faint blue light shrouded his body, indicating that he had some powerful restorative medicine to escape this calamity. Therefore, Crowbar looked ancient and only had half a breath left. His ten fingers, however, were still twitching, digging deeply into the soil. The venom in his eyes almost shot out.

Edward's swallow-tailed coat suddenly fluttered. He rushed towards Fang Senyan close to the ground, like a huge bat soaring low, full of evil, strangeness, and a bone-chilling cold. His voice passed over coldly:

"Blood will be the best seasoning for your boastfulness!" Fang Senyan gasped for breath, bent down slightly, his hands slightly open, his eyes burning fiercely, inexplicably reminiscent of a ferocious wolf grinding its teeth and drooling. Rain and fog flew, a strong wind hit his face, and the terrifying creature in front of him was descending with blood and death. What surged from Fang Senyan's body was a bloodthirsty desire! Even an extremely strong excitement!

The muddy water on the ground splashed up, the wind roared in his ears, and the taste of blood and saltiness welled up on his tongue. Fang Senyan dodged to the side, and a wound appeared on his cheek. Tender red flesh curled up, and after a while, blood flowed out merrily.

In front of Edward, a vampire who had just replenished his life essence, Fang Senyan was simply suffering a slow and cruel torment. Whenever the black whirlwind-like vampire approached, a deep wound would inevitably be added to his body, in some places even exposing bone.

"Escape is useless." The vampire Edward suddenly appeared seven or eight meters away from Fang Senyan and stopped! The process from extreme motion to stillness was extremely abrupt, only stirring up a few fallen leaves, which then fell slowly. His right hand held a bloody strip of flesh about twenty centimeters long, which had been cut alive from Fang Senyan's body. Edward raised his head, put the bloody flesh in his mouth like eating noodles, closed his eyes and chewed calmly, showing an unusually intoxicated look. Then, he took out a clean white handkerchief and moistened his lips, saying very seriously:

"My taste buds tell me that the deliciousness of your flesh is truly extraordinary. Among the humans I've had the pleasure of tasting, you should rank in the top three."

Fang Senyan's face was calm, and he didn't respond, continuing to retreat into the depths of the dense forest.

The vampire Edward shook his head, saying in a compassionate tone:

"The Lord says, there's no use in running, Amen." As he spoke, his figure swayed, and he chased after Fang Senyan. His speed was at least five or six times that of Fang Senyan, and the naked eye couldn't capture his figure at all. But at this moment, Fang Senyan swung his axe a few times, slashing at the nearby trees that were as thick as bowls. With a cracking sound, the trees crashed down, intersecting and blocking the road ahead of Fang Senyan, splashing large amounts of muddy water and scattering broken branches and leaves!

However, at this moment, the vampire Edward had already appeared beside Fang Senyan like a ghost. No one knew how he had detoured. His swallow-tailed coat fluttered in the wind, and his hands were raised high like wings, multiplying from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand, and then from a thousand back to a hundred, from a hundred back to ten, and from ten back to one, deeply piercing into Fang Senyan's right rib, grabbing Fang Senyan's liver!

"I like human's fresh liver the most, especially when it's still warm." The vampire Edward's voice sounded like a ghostly whisper in Fang Senyan's ear. His five fingers, which had pierced into Fang Senyan's liver, had even begun to tighten, scratching ghastly marks on the liver's dark red surface!

But, but!

At this instant, his right wrist was grabbed by Fang Senyan. At the same time, the muscles and even the internal organs of Fang Senyan's abdomen began to contract, producing a powerful suction force! Although Edward knew something was wrong and tried his best to break free and retreat, he was ultimately stalled!

At this time, he saw Fang Senyan's eyes.

It was a fierce, extremely savage gaze that seemed to want to devour people, a gaze that seemed to burn even the soul into fighting spirit.

"Taste the flavor of brains being penetrated by a lead bullet! You filthy fool!" Fang Senyan let out a mad roar! His roar was like a flash of lightning, piercing through the darkness in an instant, illuminating the earth and mountains. At this moment, Fang Senyan heard his own turbid breathing, heard the sound of his heart colliding violently in his chest, and the sentence he liked the most flashed in his mind:

Live to the fullest when alive, die without regrets!

A dark and heavy gun suddenly appeared in his left hand.

This was a fierce weapon that looked backward and primitive, but was full of murderous intent!

As soon as this weapon appeared, even the flocks of birds within a few kilometers were startled at the same time, flapping their wings and flying into the sky together!!!

"Ambition," this black weapon from the Caribbean, instantly pressed tightly against the vampire Edward's forehead, and then exploded with a bang, spewing out dazzling fire!

In that instant, the entire world in the vampire's eyes seemed to turn into a deep black ocean. A huge wave crashed over, threatening to completely bury everything at the bottom of the deep, deep, dark ocean!

The vampire Edward's face even showed a hint of panic, and then half of his head shattered very simply with a "splatter"! Thick blood and pale brains instantly smeared the surrounding area with a particularly ghastly color.

From the beginning, Fang Senyan had been laying out a plan.

From the beginning, he had never counterattacked. This was not because he was completely suppressed to the point where he couldn't even implement a counterattack, but because Fang Senyan knew that for dark creatures like vampires, who had no fatal weaknesses and were extremely good at recovering, ordinary attacks were just a drop in the bucket, and would only make them extra vigilant, without any significant effect.

So, from the beginning, Fang Senyan focused on defense, completely abandoning offense. This undoubtedly gave the vampire Edward the illusion that the enemy had no attack power at all.

Secondly, there was Fang Senyan's act of chopping down trees. Although the vampire's speed was fast, it was still limited by the laws of physics. The trees that Fang Senyan chopped down seemed to be doing useless work, but he had calculated the angle when he swung the axe. The collapsed trees formed a temporary cross-interception. If the vampire insisted on rushing forward, then he would have to crash into the tree!

Of course, even if a vampire was hit by a tree, it wouldn't be fatal, but the vampire's habit was to pay attention to superficial elegance and gentlemanly demeanor, so Fang Senyan was at least ninety percent sure that it wouldn't come from the front. And at this time, the left side of Fang Senyan's body was blocked by a large tree, so naturally the direction of the vampire's attack could only be the right or the rear. After mastering the direction from which the enemy would inevitably come, Fang Senyan then spared no effort to use his crippled body to set up a successful fatal trap, which was naturally a matter of course! A complete success in one fell swoop!

"Your weapon: Ambition will deal 140 points of theoretical damage to the vampire Edward."

"Flintlock weapon special effect: Momentum is triggered, at this time the critical strike rate additionally increased by momentum is 50%."

"You shoot the enemy's head vitals, your critical strike rate for this attack is increased by 37%."

"Your weapon: Ambition's damage this time will be a critical strike."

"The critical strike effect triggered by this momentum will be increased from 200% additional damage to 250%." "Your theoretical damage this time will be increased to: 140x250%=350 points!"

"You successfully hit the vampire Edward's head, your weapon: Ambition deals 324 points of actual damage to the vampire Edward!" "The damage you dealt to the vampire Edward's head exceeded 1/6 of its maximum health, so this damage will also cause the partial functional loss of the head organs."
