Chapter 1427: Chapter 1427: A Devil More Terrifying Than Monsters

If vampires were seen as evil, ferocious, and monstrous beings, then the boss was akin to a devil, a devil that even monsters feared.

Just standing there, with a piercing gaze, was enough to send chills down the spine of Xue Long and his ilk.

"Who are you?" Xue Long was tense, he didn’t recall any mention of such a figure in the Hunter’s Guild’s records.

The boss said indifferently, "I don’t care if you’re a vampire or from the Xue Clan, anything related to eternal life should not exist."

"What the hell! Take him down." A member of the Xue Clan shouted with full bravado, but his face quickly turned stiff as the boss instantly closed in on him.

The Xue Clan was strong, and they reacted quickly, throwing a punch that hit the boss solidly.

"Not bad," the boss said as he punched the Xue Clan member back, overpowering him in the contest of strength and forcing him three steps back.

"Looking for death!" Xue Long and Xue Sha attacked together, punching and kicking with wild force.

The boss alone managed to block the attacks of two Xue Clan members, showcasing his overwhelming power, as if his body were made of steel.

As Xue Long and Xue Sha’s prolonged assault led nowhere, their limbs aching, they realized something was awry.

"You’re not up to it, now it’s my turn." The boss launched a counterattack, his punch blasting Xue Long away and a fierce kick sending Xue Sha flying. His defense and counter-attack were clean and decisive.

Suddenly, heavy footsteps could be heard, shaking the ground, causing the boss to turn in alarm only to see a brawny figure charging at him.

The boss couldn’t dodge in time; he had no choice but to cross his arms in front of him, planting his feet firmly on the ground, using all his strength to withstand the impact.

With a roar, Xue Niu charged savagely, his size and strength sending the boss flying.

The Hunter’s Guild members saw the boss hurled away and felt a chill in their hearts. He was their strong reinforcement; if even he could be defeated, what would they do?

"What are you waiting for?" A hunter brandished his sword, decapitating three vampires with swift swordsmanship that deterred any others from approaching.

Lin Yue also shouted, "If we want to carve a bloody path out of here, we must rely on ourselves, everyone fight with all you’ve got!"

Stirred by his words, each member of the Hunter’s Guild fought with a will to survive.

However, there were too many vampires, besieging them from all directions. Defeat one wave, and another would come. It was night, and unless they were impaled in the heart with a stake, they could rise over and over, regrouping to attack again.

The gunman was deadly accurate, his bullets crafted of wood, and his dynamic vision was exceptional. No matter how fast the vampires moved, they seemed slow to him, and he was the hope of the group.

Bullet after bullet, the wood projectiles howled through the air. Before the vampires realized what was happening, they slumped to the ground, their skin turning ashen gray.

Soon, the vampires noticed the skills of the gunman and swarmed him, desperate to bring him down.

Flames surged, incinerating the charging vampires into charred corpses. Lie Huo led the others in a desperate effort to protect the gunman, using the flames to hold back the vampires’ frenzied assault.

Yet the vampires’ regenerative abilities were astonishing. Even burnt to crisp, they quickly stood up again, one of them seizing Lie Huo and then tearing him apart.

Seeing this scene, everyone from the Hunter’s Guild was terrified. If Lie Huo was already struggling, what about the others?

Just as the vampires surged in from all directions, a dozen Jian Qi slashed down, the sharp Qi blades dismembering the vampires and dropping them onto the ground.

"Don’t panic, everyone. Hold your ground," said a hunter as he approached with his sword drawn, his righteous Qi repelling the evil spirits.

Strangely, the vampires hit by the hunter’s Jian Qi saw their recovery abilities plummet, unable to reconstitute their bodies, and could only flounder uselessly on the ground.

Lin Yue moved quickly, using a wooden stake after another to take care of the vampires.

"It’s that annoying Jian Qi again." Xue Long had had a bitter taste of it and was extremely wary of the hunters’ Jian Qi.

Xue Sha snorted coldly, "What’s there to fear? There are so many of us. Can’t we still beat them? With the Four Great Nobles joining forces, we are invincible under the heavens."

The vampires knew they shouldn’t provoke the hunters, but compelled by Xue Sha’s orders, they had to continue their charge. No sooner had they started than two vampires got hit by wooden bullets.

"Dammit, don’t underestimate us." As the vampires charged, they threw daggers with such force that the daggers flew as fast as bullets.

A member of the Hunter’s Guild got hit by three daggers, screamed, and fell on the spot.

"Protect the riflemen, protect the riflemen!" The Hunter’s Guild desperately gathered around the riflemen, shielding them from danger, while the hunters themselves took the forefront in the battle against the vampires.

Witnessing vampires fall batch by batch, the East Nobles and the Southern Aristocracy finally couldn’t hold back any longer, knowing that if they didn’t take action, their morale would collapse.

Roaring, Xue Wen, Xue Wu, Xue Zhan, and Xue Yun let out furious bellows that shook the wilderness, trembling the ancient trees all around.

After a hunter split a vampire in half with his sword, he turned his attention to those four members of the Xue Clan, knowing very well that once they joined the fight, the pressure would be doubled.

"Lin Yue, you and the riflemen retreat together. Fight while you withdraw. I will cover our rear," the hunter said firmly, ready to make a sacrifice.

"I understand, Master. Take care of yourself." Lin Yue was also aware of the situation and his mission as the successor of the Jian Shen legacy, so without further ado, he immediately headed toward the riverside where the riflemen were located.

Two members of the Hunter’s Guild gave their lives to cover Lin Yue’s approach, forcefully holding back the vampire’s assault, only to be torn to shreds by the vampires.

"Get out of my way!" Lin Yue, now more powerful than before, pulled out a wooden stake and singled out a vampire. After a brief fight, he had taken care of it.

Another vampire was no match for Lin Yue, who pinned it to the ground, ending it with a wooden stake through its heart.

Other vampires knew that Lin Yue was a Jian Shen successor and could not let him get away easily, so they all rushed in, only to be thwarted by the riflemen, whose wooden bullets whistled in, striking down vampires one after another.

"Lin Yue, hurry!" As soon as a member of the Hunter’s Guild had finished shouting, he was pounced on and torn apart by three vampires, killed instantly.

This time, without exception, the Hunter’s Guild brought titled elites, yet these elites struggled against even a regular vampire—a harsh reality of the vast difference in strength between the Hunter’s Guild and Organization X.

However, this gap in strength began to shift due to two individuals, one being the hunter, and the other, the big boss.
