Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 1019: Finally Betrayed

Chapter 1019: Chapter 1019: Finally Betrayed

Three martial artists were frantically running through a narrow alley, desperately terrified, trying only to escape far from the horrific battlefield.

However, a vampire caught up with them, emitting a proud laugh, "What happened? You all were so brave before, so how come you’re this scared now?"

The one lagging behind among the martial artists was the first to be caught by the vampire, then was pinned to the ground, and finally, emitted a sound more dreadful than that of a slaughtering pig, filled with immense despair and agony.

The remaining two martial artists had no intention of coming to the rescue; they did not even dare to look back.

The vampire quickly pursued and effortlessly disposed of the second martial artist.

Actually, with their combined strength, they could have held their ground for a while, and there might even have been hope to survive, but fear had already stripped them of their courage to resist, leading to their collapse without a fight.

"This is really boring." The vampire shook its head, preparing to chase the last one.

Suddenly, Mo Yun burst forth, directly dispatching the last one with a sword, expressionless and utterly indifferent.

Gu Fan arrived soon after, seeing a martial artist lying in front of Mo Yun, whose sword was still stained with fresh blood; Gu Fan also guessed what had just happened.

The vampire, seeing Gu Fan and Mo Yun arrive, said with a laugh, "You finally showed up, no worries, the fight isn’t over yet, you’re just in time."

"Where are Lord Xiong and Xue Wang?" Gu Fan was most concerned about these two, feeling somewhat nervous.

The vampire answered, "They should be around here somewhere, you go find them yourself, I still have people to chase down." After saying this, the vampire dashed off in another direction.

Mo Yun glanced around, then quickened her pace; Gu Fan wanted to shout, but seeing Mo Yun’s resolute back, he knew that saying anything was futile.

Originally, Mo Yun and Gu Fan thought that this time Xue Wang and the others were surely doomed so they planned to leave and implicitly abandon them; however, seeing the overcast scene, Mo Yun speculated that Xue Wang and the others might launch a desperate counterattack, immediately turning around to head back.

Gu Fan felt a chill in his heart; if this patch of dark clouds truly gave Xue Wang and the others a significant assist, allowing them to fight during the day, whether the martial artists led by Jian Shen could handle it. And since Mo Yun was going back, Gu Fan also followed.

Now Gu Fan and Mo Yun were walking through the streets and alleys, hearing nothing but screams; the martial artists were completely defeated, it was all over.

Arriving at a relatively open street scattered with numerous bodies of martial artists, there lay Lu Bei and Jin Yi, along with a few others, barely holding out.

Xue Wang personally took action to defeat so many martial artists in such a short time, surrounded by Xue Gui, Xue Ya, Xue Ying, Xue Yu, Xue Yan and others, completely encircling these surviving martial artists.

Lu Bei and Jin Yi, back to back, stared defiantly at the advancing vampires, aware of their dire situation, fearing they might be completely wiped out here, but they showed no fear; having chosen this path, they had long been prepared mentally.

"Others have fled, yet you stand your ground in defiant resistance. I must say, your courage is commendable. I’m not fond of killing either. If you would serve me, I might consider sparing your lives." Xue Wang truly needed the services of these Martial Arts warriors and adopted a conciliatory attitude.

However, Jin Yi shook his head, "You disrupt our Central Plains, your intentions are condemnable. Dream on if you think we will bow down to you. We would rather die in battle than surrender."

Hearing this, Xue Wang shook his head and sighed, a look of disappointment on his face, "Why must it come to this, why must there be fighting and killing." After speaking, Xue Wang gestured to his subordinates to get rid of Jin Yi and Lu Bei.

"Alright, there’s a saying in your Central Plains about ’respecting the wine if not the wrath,’ and now I somewhat understand what that means." Xue Gul laughed coldly, then licked his tongue, flashing his sharp fangs, his eyes filled with a thirst for blood.

"Let’s go for it!" Led by Jin Yi and Lu Bei, the remaining Martial Arts warriors rose up to resist, and the two sides clashed once more.

At that moment, Gu Fan and Mo Yun arrived and immediately realized that the Martial Arts warriors couldn’t hold out. Gu Fan saw Jin Yi and Lu Bei in grave danger and grew anxious.

"You’ve finally come. I thought you had abandoned us and run away." Xue Wang’s words were laden with deep meaning, making Mo Yun and Gu Fan extremely nervous.

Mo Yun immediately declared her loyalty, "I apologize, Xue Wang. They encountered some Martial Arts warriors on their way back and got into a fight, which caused the delay."

Xue Wang noticed blood on Mo Yun’s hands and clothes and believed her explanation, then asked another question, "Why has this happened, why has the Xuanwu Alliance turned against us, and how did they know where we reside?"

Gu Fan explained, "Jian Shen has had people watch the Xuanwu Alliance, noticing something strange about their movements. He saw them renting several houses in this town with all doors and windows sealed. Jian Shen guessed that the rapid rise of the Xuanwu Alliance must be supported by a second batch of vampires."

"I see." Xue Wang tentatively believed this explanation, although he harbored suspicions about Gu Fan and Mo Yun. Given the current situation, it was better to deal with the Martial Arts warriors first and then thoroughly investigate the matter.

Gu Fan knew that if Xue Wang and his forces won, they would surely capture some people for questioning, and it might be revealed that Gu Fan had sent signals. Then Gu Fan would be in trouble.

"No choice now, it’s a gamble." Gu Fan secretly made up his mind to find an opportunity to kill the most powerful Xue Wang.

Mo Yun was eager to prove herself, but Gu Fan grabbed her arm, preventing her from joining the fight and said, "Beautiful master, don’t rush. There are still so many Martial Arts warriors left, we won’t be of any help if we go now; we might even make things worse. Let’s trust the Xue Clan to handle it."

Mo Yun thought it made sense and then glanced at Xue Wang, hoping he would not mind.

Xue Wang, expressionless, watched everything happening on the battlefield while remaining alert to his surroundings to prevent any ambushes. This meant Gu Fan had no opportunity to attack Xue Wang.

Suddenly, a scream rang out. Xue Gul was hit by a wooden stake, then his body stiffened and he fell to the ground.

Lu Bei and Jin Yi together were formidable; ordinary vampires were indeed no match for them, and their defeating Xue Gul drew Xue Wang’s attention.

"The opportunity is now." Gu Fan had been waiting for this moment. He pulled out the prepared wooden stake and charged towards Xue Wang.
