Vampire Konstdorf had no defense against the sudden whirlwind.
He was blown off the ground by the whirlwind, only a dozen centimeters high, but the power of the gale made his body completely out of control.
He struggled in the whirlwind, trying to break free. He could feel the loosening of the gale's power. This uncontrollable state couldn't last long, at most a breath or two, after all, Li Wei's strength was far greater than his.
But at the moment, there were only a few positions between Li Wei and him.
A breath or two of time was enough to determine life and death.
At the moment when the whirlwind burst from the sword in Frenetic Blade, Li Wei took a fierce step forward. Another blow was struck, and Zhang Xi, under the control of Frenetic Wind, was utterly incapable of blocking or dodging.
As the white light flashed and the wind gradually subsided, Zhang Xi's head had already been separated from his body.
After completing the Decapitation Strike, Li Wei immediately turned around and stood on guard. "Once bitten by a snake, one is scared of ropes for ten years." He was very worried that the vampire would get back up.
For a while, neither the vampire's head nor his headless body stirred, but Li Wei also didn't let his guard down.
He took two more steps back, somewhat staggering as he grabbed his pistol from the ground and replaced the magazine with one fully loaded with seven Light Engraved bullets.
He had no intention of approaching the vampire's corpse at all. He first fired three shots at the head and four more at the body, then ejected the magazine, replaced it with his last one containing only six bullets, and delivered another round of supplementary shots.
So far, he had fired all the Photon Engraved Ammo he had obtained from Eileen.
It seemed that after those thirteen consecutive shots, without any reaction from Zhang Xi's head and body, the guy should really be dead.
Li Wei stepped forward and cautiously kicked Zhang Xi's head and body with his foot, making sure this guy could never jump up and pounce on himself again before finally letting his guard down.
It seemed that the supplementary shots were unnecessary, and those thirteen not-so-cheap bullets were wasted. But in fact, Li Wei did not regret this at all. If he had another chance, he would still do the same.
This is his first time fighting against vampires, an extraordinary species, and he is completely unaware of their characteristics, almost suffering a great loss. Having learned his lesson, where would he commit the same mistake again? Thoroughly eliminating all risks is what a mature warrior should do.
He twisted his shoulders and felt a slight sense of weakness in his body. His body was cut by the vampires' sharp claws, resulting in dozens of wounds. Although under his defense, these wounds were not fatal, the unique attacking methods of the vampires still caused him a lot of trouble - he found that the wounds on his body had stopped bleeding.
This is by no means a sign of the wound healing. On the contrary, the vampire's attack is clearly a means of seizing fresh blood. In the previous combat, every drop of blood that flowed from his body turned into a mist and was absorbed by Zhang Xi. This has led to much more severe blood loss for Li Wei than in a normal battle.
These tiny pale wounds on his body are indicative of his current extremely poor physical condition. He can already clearly feel his body becoming a bit unsteady and showing symptoms of anemia. If any enemies were to appear now, he might even have difficulty running away.
However, looking up, this concern is essentially not necessary.
Except for those who were blown away by Li Wei, every single member of the skeleton gang under Zhang Xi's command ran away without exception.
He went to check on the six people he had shot and killed, and noticed some clues—their skin was extremely pale, and their pupils were not like those of ordinary people, resembling vertical pupils. Peering under their lips, he could also see that their canines were noticeably sharper and longer than those of normal people.
These are the characteristics of blood slaves.
Vivian realized suddenly, no wonder, when he had taken down Zhang Xi with seven shots, and all the gang members were in a panic, these six people could respond directly.
It turned out that they were the blood slaves developed by Zhang Xi.
In this world, there is gain only with giving.
If it weren't for his ungrudging use of the not inexpensive light rune cartridges, and the fact that all the bullets stored in his gun after the battle started were this type that has a restraining effect on dark creatures, the battle might have been even harder. After all, if he had used ordinary bullets, he might not have been able to take down a blood slave with a single shot.
Regaining his senses, Li Wei prepared to collect his spoils of victory.
First and foremost, the vampire's head was a must-collect. When submitting a bounty contract, proof of the prey was essential.
On the vampire's body, there were three particularly tempting spoils.
The first was the bat wings; the second were the fangs; and the third was the heart.
A vampire's bat wings were an extraordinary material, which could be used to create some superpowered devices.
The teeth from the six blood slaves and the vampire, along with the bat wings, should be worth about one D-grade enhancement fluid in total.
However, the most valuable thing on its body was the heart.
Unlike humans who rely on the heartbeat to maintain blood circulation, vampires possess the ability to directly manipulate blood.
Nevertheless, they still had a "heart." The heart, nestled in the chest, was where the essence and concentration of a vampire's power resided.
After folding away his fangs and bat wings, Levi began to dissect Zhang Xi's body. His movements were swift, in order to avoid any trouble.
Although the lower district of Westhum City has always been poorly policed, with the police station virtually non-existent, a major incident like this one could attract the police to the scene at any moment.
A vampire's body is extremely cold—one of their defining traits. However, despite a body structure significantly different from that of a normal person, the heart is relatively easy to locate.
Soon enough, amidst the gore, the vampire's heart was laid bare before Levi.
It was a blood-red organ roughly resembling a human heart in appearance. Levi picked it up, its chilly touch causing him to shiver involuntarily.
Suddenly, he felt moisture on his palm. Looking down, he saw that his right hand, holding the vampire's heart, was now covered in blood!
Even more eerily, he distinctly saw that those blood did not exist for long in his hands. His skin seemed like a filter paper, which actually let the blood seep into the skin and into his body.
This situation is somewhat thrilling!
He immediately threw the Vampire Heart aside. However, even though there would be no longer blood seeping out, he didn't know what to do with the blood that had already entered his body.
"Is this not some curse?" Li Wei is a bit timid, even, he has already guessed that the vampire may not have actually died, but his soul resides in the heart, ready for a rebirth?
Nevertheless, Li Wei soon dispelled these terrible thoughts.
The reason is very simple, he felt some heat at his chest - that's the movement of the Book of All Laws.
