Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 1017: Sudden Changes

Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Sudden Changes

In a quadrangle within the small town, where Xue Wang and his companions resided, it was now completely surrounded by Martial Artists. Everyone’s morale was extremely high, each eager to rush in and drag out all the vampires.

However, things did not go smoothly, as more than ten highly skilled Martial Artists charged in only to be blasted back out.

"What, there are still masters?" Jian Shen was shocked, then turned his gaze toward the leader of Xuanjian Sect.

The leader of Xuanjian Sect remained silent. Now, he was completely isolated by the heroes of the Martial Arts world. He had no choice but to consider his next move.

At that moment, Lord Xiong stepped out of the main gate, his presence commanding, and his eyes filled with the intimidating intent to kill toward the crowd, "What’s going on? Why are there so many people?"

The leader of Xuanjian Sect sighed, which was as good as telling Lord Xiong that their secret had been exposed.

Some of the Martial Artists shouted accusations, "We are aware of the collusion between Xuanjian Sect and the vampires. Vampires are hiding in this house, old man, if you don’t want trouble, then make way for us promptly."

Lord Xiong’s brow furrowed. Even with his high level of Martial Arts, he could not fend off so many Martial Artists. Worst of all, from the indignant look of these people, it seemed that even the Xuanwu Alliance had turned against them.

Jian Shen said, "Leader of Xuanjian Sect, I know you were misled into believing these lies in a moment of weakness. It’s not too late for us to unite and eradicate the vampires that threaten the Central Plains. It all depends on whether you’re willing."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to the leader of Xuanjian Sect, giving him—a representative of Xuanjian Sect—a way out, an opportunity to atone for their sins.

Without hesitation, the leader of Xuanjian Sect accepted, "You’re right, I was muddled for a moment and should not have believed the vampires from the West. My Xuanjian Sect will certainly do everything in our power to make up for our mistake."

Hearing this, Lu Bei and Jin Yi couldn’t help but admire the leader of Xuanjian Sect’s ability to shift with the wind, making them feel quite outmatched.

Yet, Lord Xiong showed displeasure, "Leader of Xuanjian Sect, are you going to betray our agreement? Think carefully."

Lu Bei burst into laughter, "Old man, why not join us instead? Stop struggling. It’s broad daylight now; the vampires can only wait to be slaughtered, so why foolishly accompany them?"

Lord Xiong knew full well that the tide had turned, but he was not willing to give in just yet.

Many Martial Artists were pressing forward, some even starting to tear down the walls. With their speed and strength in numbers, dismantling these houses before the sun went down was more than feasible.

Lord Xiong undoubtedly wanted to stop them, but Jian Shen, the leader of Xuanjian Sect, and other highly skilled Martial Artists were watching him, preventing him from making any rash moves.

Just as the situation seemed overwhelmingly positive, Lu Bei, a little too pleased, remarked, "Who knew that eradicating the second batch of vampires would be this easy? I thought we were in for a tough battle."

Jin Yi kindly reminded him, "Please don’t be a doomsayer at a time like this."

To that, Lu Bei was displeased, "What do you mean by doomsayer? The vampires stand no chance unless the sun sets prematurely or clouds cover the sky extensively."

Lu Bei’s words made sense, and Jin Yi also felt there should be no issues. But as soon as Lu Bei finished speaking, the sky darkened, and at that moment, thick clouds rolled in.

"My God, can it be?" Lu Bei was so stunned that cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Please don’t spout nonsense in the future," Jian Shen said nervously, raising his voice, "Hurry up and make your move, fast!"

Lord Xiong looked at the thick clouds in the sky which in an instant overshadowed the earth, completely covering the sun’s light. He stood with his hands behind his back, closed his eyes, and couldn’t help but curve the corners of his mouth upwards.

With a loud bang, a wall was smashed, and a vampire burst out, tearing apart a martial artist with both hands as easily as a tiger pounces into a flock of sheep.

More vampires rushed out, and now with the absence of sunlight, it was as if heavens were aiding them; they could slaughter at will.

>

Although the martial artists were numerous and strong in unity, many of them had inferior martial arts skills, and their wooden stakes failed to hit the vampires. Instead, they were torn open by the vampires’ claws, their skin ripped apart and blood and flesh flying everywhere.

>

The cries of the martial artists filled the air, with many thrown into a panic, scattering in all directions. The advantage of their numbers was completely lost.

>

Jian Shen, now the highest skilled martial artist present, casually commented, "You go help, I’ll handle this situation here."

>

"Okay, don’t worry," Lu Bei and Jin Yi immediately went to provide support, while the leader of Xuanjian Sect stood still as if pondering the current situation.

>

Lord Xiong, seeing what the leader of Xuanjian Sect was contemplating, remarked, "Leader of Xuanjian Sect, the situation has changed. It’s not too late for you to switch sides."

>

Upon hearing this, the leader of Xuanjian Sect immediately glanced at Jian Shen, seemingly hesitant about whether to join forces with Lord Xiong to quickly take down Jian Shen.

>

Without even casting a glance, Jian Shen said indifferently, "Before, you did not join the battle to conserve strength, which led to criticism of Xuanjian Sect. Now, if you help the vampires massacre martial artists, Xuanjian Sect will never be able to raise its head again. You are the leader, and you bear an undeniable responsibility for the future of Xuanjian Sect. After all, the spirit of your master watches from the heavens, doesn’t he?"

>

After hearing these words, the leader of Xuanjian Sect was touched. Then, watching Jian Shen march steadily towards powerful foes, he couldn’t help but admire Jian Shen’s resolute silhouette.

>

"Leader, let me ask you one thing," Jian Shen said as he pointed his treasured sword directly at Lord Xiong, "do you fear death?"

>

"If you’re not afraid, I am even less so." The leader of Xuanjian Sect also drew his treasured sword, filled with immense emotion. This was also the first time he would fight alongside Jian Shen against a common enemy.

>

Lord Xiong remained calm and composed, "Well then, two of the finest martial artists together against me? You really flatter me." After speaking, Lord Xiong began to limber up, preparing for a grand fight.

>

"Impressive, up to now I still can’t see through his cultivation," Jian Shen and the leader of Xuanjian Sect remarked nervously. They still felt the powerful aura emanating from Lord Xiong, something they simply could not match.

>

Meanwhile, in another place, Gu Fan and Mo Yun saw the sky overcast with dark clouds. While some were delighted, others were distressed. Gu Fan knew that with this, not only would Xue Wang and his allies escape disaster, but they could also counterattack. Once they had eliminated those martial artists, they would come after the traitor Gu Fan.

>

Mo Yun was pleased because her greatest support was still present, so she suggested they immediately go to support Lord Xiong and Xue Wang, to show themselves off in front of them.

>

"Forget it, it looks like I’m caught up in this. I might as well go and have a fight," Gu Fan said with a grit of his teeth and a stomp of his foot, heading towards the town with Mo Yun, determined to personally take care of those vampires.
