Chapter 1171: Chapter 1171: A Masked Figure Appears Midway

The battle had taken a turn for the worse for the hunters and Lin Yue, with seven or eight vampires pursuing Lin Yue, but they weren’t in a hurry to kill him. Instead, they forced Lin Yue into a desperate situation over and over again.

Whenever Lin Yue was in danger, the hunters had no choice but to intervene and attempt a rescue, which left them unable to deal with Xue Jun and occasionally taking punches from him.

At that moment, seeing an opportunity to steal the limelight, Xue Hun joined the fray; two genuine members of the Xue Clan teamed up, a punch from the left and a claw from the right, inflicting many wounds on the hunters.

"Master, don’t worry about me, just go," Lin Yue knew that the hunters would not be in such dire straits if not for helping him.

But the hunter, ignoring his injuries, cleaved a vampire that was attacking Lin Yue in two with a single stroke of his sword, then kicked Xue Hun away with a flying kick. Even wounded, his speed and strength had not diminished by much, and his fighting spirit was still ablaze.

However, it’s difficult to fend off attacks from all sides, and Xue Jun’s heavy fist smashed into the hunter’s arm, breaking it and causing such pain that the hunter could no longer grip his treasured sword.

"Get out of my way!" Lin Yue roared, charging from the side and fiercely knocking Xue Jun away.

Chris, who had been enjoying the scene, now spoke up, "They can’t hold on much longer. Surround them, don’t let them escape. Today, the lineage of Jian Shen comes to an end."

Following the order, all the vampires took their positions, blocking every possible escape route.

In that moment, both the hunter and Lin Yue were injured and their strength greatly diminished, surrounded by vampires led by Xue Jun and Xue Hun, their fierce eyes like a pack of ravenous beasts eager to tear their prey to pieces.

Now with one arm broken and sweating from pain, the hunter was in such a state that he couldn’t even swing his treasured sword, let alone lead Lin Yue to break through the encirclement.

Lin Yue and the hunter stood back to back, both breathing heavily. The situation clearly showed that the hope of escape was slim.

At this time, the hunter asked Lin Yue a question, "How about it, do you regret becoming my disciple?"

"To be honest, I did have some regrets when fighting with the vampires before. But now? Suddenly, I think it’s quite good to have a master like you. The most precious thing in life is having someone to share life and death with, fighting side by side," Lin Yue said, touching the hunter’s heart and provoking an involuntary smile of satisfaction.

"Don’t worry, even if I have to fight with all my might, even if I die here, I will make sure you live and leave. Just like my master did back then." The hunter’s gaze was firm, one arm broken, but with the other, he substituted his finger for a sword, and with one flick, he sent a blade of Jian Qi piercing through a vampire’s head.

Xue Jun couldn’t help but admire the scene, "Still so formidable, even injured, but it’s useless. No matter what, today we must put an end to the lineage of Jian Shen."

Three vampires, obeying the command, planned to pounce on the weakest, Lin Yue. Suddenly, the treasured sword that had fallen to the ground emitted a loud sword cry, rising into the air and floating in front of Lin Yue as if the sword was there to protect him.

Lin Yue was initially shocked but then felt the will of the treasured sword and immediately grabbed it. In that instant, he felt a surge of strength flow into his body.

"What’s there to be afraid of? It doesn’t matter if he has the sword," grunted a vampire, lunging at Lin Yue. What followed was a burst of cold light, and before the vampire could understand what happened, it was cleaved in two.

Lin Yue was astonished. He hadn’t expected to become so powerful with the treasured sword in hand.

The remaining vampires were afraid, none daring to advance, which greatly annoyed Xue Jun. If they couldn’t deal with Jian Shen’s successor like this, they would be the laughing stock of the other Xue Clan members.

Left with no choice, Xue Jun had to take matters into his own hands. With a push of his feet, he charged forward swiftly, while the other vampires, led by Xue Hun, restrained the hunters.

"Be careful!" A hunter shouted a warning, but the distraction cost him several blows from the vampires, sending him flying and worsening his injuries as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Lin Yue saw a figure rushing towards him, instinctively slashing out with his sword, but Jian Qi was easily dodged by Xue Jun.

"Damn it!" Lin Yue tried to launch a second strike, but the moment his treasured sword fell, a powerful arm caught it. Shocked, he heard a cold voice say, "You’re not yet worthy to wield this treasured sword."

A sense of dread filled Lin Yue’s heart as he saw Xue Jun standing in front of him, his fearful presence like a wild beast that devoured men.

At that moment, the hunter was in a tough battle, not knowing how many hits he had taken, battered and bleeding, unable to fight back, let alone rescue Lin Yue.

"Your master is done for, you might as well make a run for it," said Xue Jun coldly, his punch primed and ready to slam into Lin Yue’s head.

Just when Chris thought the outcome was beyond doubt, his expression suddenly changed, and he yelled a warning, "Xue Jun, watch your back!"

"My back?" Xue Jun immediately turned around and was astonished to see a girl wearing a mask standing behind him, wondering when she had arrived without his notice.

This was out of the ordinary; Xue Jun immediately threw a punch to ward off Lin Yue and then turned solemnly to face the girl who had appeared so abruptly.

"Sorry, I was just passing by, and then a vampire fell down. He tried to bite me, so I pinned him down. I was just looking, you guys don’t mind me. Keep to your fight," the girl said, seemingly unconcerned by her surroundings and rather nonchalant about the entire situation.

Xue Jun frowned, "You know we’re vampires, and you even dealt with one."

The girl nodded, "Yeah, I know you are vampires. I’ve had dealings with you guys before. My brother has killed I don’t know how many of you."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. There were few in the world with the ability to hunt vampires; without exception, they all represented strength. They silently wondered if this girl’s brother could also be a hunter.

Suddenly, the girl saw the hunter lying on the ground, her shock evident as she hurried over, "Oh my God, how did you get injured like this? You must have thought yourself strong and got into trouble. I mean, you’re a middle-aged man, why can’t you just be more careful?"

The hunter was initially taken aback, thinking who this girl was to speak so bluntly, then he remembered someone and couldn’t believe it - the voice, the tone, could it really be her?

"What, this girl knows the hunter; then..." Chris frowned deeply, sensing a change in the situation that seemed unfavorable. He immediately urged all the vampires to end the fight quickly and take down the girl as well.

As Xue Jun made his move, a Protective Barrier suddenly expanded, repelling all the vampires that lunged at them.

Gu Ling was busy shielding the hunter and Lin Yue while healing their wounds.
