Chapter 291 Meeting the King
Tang Xia got a great shock instantly, and she could not help but shout out loud, “Quickly dodge!” While saying so, she dashed to him as fast as she could and stood in front of him.
Ye Yifan only felt that everything was in chaos. He felt that he was pushed away all of a sudden by a shadow that dashed to him. He was very lost and confused.
There was a loud “Boom”, followed by Tang Xia’s shriek. Ye Yifan immediately regained his balance and looked over.
All he saw was Tang Xia standing in front of him in a position to protect him. However, she was slowly crouching into a circle. The immense pain caused her face to twitch uncontrollably.
When Ye Yifan realized what was going on, he was in great shock. He quickly ran up to her and brought her into his embrace. He saw that the bullet had hit her stomach directly. He felt his mind went blank and he suddenly could not hear the noises of the world. He screamed with all his heart.
“Tang Xia! Are you alright!” Katherine had noticed the things that were happening at this side earlier on. Seeing Tang Xia get shot by the bullet, she also rushed over and quickly squatted down to check on her.
The police around them looked at her in shock. They did not understand why she did not turn into ashes despite them shooting right into her body.
Just when the police were still being dumbfounded, Tang Xia’s face slowly turned to normal. Feeling confused, she rubbed her own stomach. “Huh? Why didn’t I turn into ash?”
At this moment, the two people beside her then realized this question. They looked at Tang Xia strangely as she checked her own skin. However, she was perfectly fine. She did not even have a wound from being burnt by the sun.
Ye Yifan was so shocked that he could not say a word.
At this moment, the police around them quickly held up their guns again, wanting to shoot one more time. Tang Xia was quick to notice and instantly took care of them all. Ye Yifan held onto her hand and asked, “Are you sure you’re alright? How do you feel now?”
Tang Xia placed her hand on her stomach. After thinking about it for a while, she said slowly, “Um…there’s only some pain from the impact of the bullet. Nothing else.”
The other two were still quite worried about her. However, when they suddenly thought of how different she was from them, they gave in.
Just as the three of them were still thinking about what just happened, they heard a loud whiz from the sky. They were forced to cover their eyes as a huge gush of wind came towards them. Suddenly, a man came down from the sky.
Tang Xia peeked through her fingers. It seemed like it was the elder who was playing chess with Jiang Yu earlier – War King.
He cast Tang Xia a meaningful look. Suddenly, a policeman came up from behind him. War King snorted. His body was emitting the bloody smell of a vampire elder, as well as an aura that terrified others.
He simply stretched out his hand, grabbed the policeman behind him by his neck, and lifted him up.
The policeman stared at War King in terror. War King had no expressions on his face, and he snorted. He pulled him towards his mouth and took a big bite on his neck.
Tang Xia could not help but frown. The redness in the eyes of War King grew darker, eventually turning bloody-red.
Tang Xia only felt chills down her spine. She stared with disbelief at how War King sucked all the blood out of the policeman. The policeman slowly turned into skin and skeletons. Even his skin was starting to crumple together.
Tang Xia held back the nauseous feeling in her stomach. She turned around, not wanting to watch. Ye Yifan quickly pulled her into his embrace and pressed her head against his body, gently patting her back.
Very soon, there was no more sounds coming from behind them. After sucking the blood out of the man, War King threw him directly beside the bunch of policemen.
The policemen were all startled and stepped backward while frantically shooting at War King. However, he blocked off all the attacks; their efforts were in vain.
Ye Yifan patted Tang Xia’s head and said gently, “Alright, it’s all over.”
Tang Xia then slowly looked up and stood up straight. However, she could not hold back the nauseous feeling in her stomach. Just when everyone thought that the war was over, War King suddenly looked towards Tang Xia solemnly.
Although Tang Xia was back facing him, she could feel an obvious glare staring at her from behind. Feeling confused, she could not help but turn around. Once she did so, she met War King in his bloody-red eyes directly. Feeling a little disgusted, she frowned.
He walked towards her direction and she could not help but take two steps back. Ye Yifan and Katherine also felt that this was not going to end well.
At this moment, War King suddenly came towards her in a flash and caught her by her shoulders directly. With an interested gaze, he said to her in a firm voice, “I was watching you from above and saw that you were perfectly fine despite being hit by a bullet. This is why I came down.”
Tang Xia could only feel as if her shoulders were being crushed. She could not help but whine. Ye Yifan was about to step forward to say something, but Katherine quickly grabbed him and shook her head.
“So, what do you want to do?”
Seeing that War King did not speak afterward, Tang Xia could only make the next step. She lifted her head and stared into his eyes determinedly. War King did not expect her to not be afraid of himself. He could not help but be more interested in her.
“Come with me. You should be honored that I’m bringing you away.”
He grabbed her by the shoulder directly while saying, wanting to bring her away.
Tang Xia slapped his hand away directly. War King was taken aback. He was shocked at how strong she was. At that instant, he lured out all of his mightiness. Tang Xia was not going to back down. She dashed towards him and they became entangled in a fight.
Everyone was dumbfounded by how Tang Xia, a vampire newbie, could possess so much power that even War King had to put in so much effort to fight her. Furthermore, she was gaining the upper hand.
However, at the end of the day, Tang Xia had just turned into a vampire, so she had no fighting experience. Eventually, she still lost to War King.
She was dragged all the way like a rabbit. Although she wanted to break free, she gave up at the end as she knew that she would not be able to win him.
War King burst into laughter, and looking at this prized trophy, he carried her back to the castle.
Ye Yifan’s frowns were furrowed and he was pissed. He wanted to go forward to save her but Katherine pulled him back with all her strength.
“Ye Yifan! Don’t act so rashly! Don’t worry, Tang Xia is very strong. Nothing will happen to her. Even if you went, you won’t be able to fight him like her!”
Ye Yifan was so angry that he could barely breathe, but he gave in eventually. He knew better. He could not help but be angrier at why he was so useless.
On the other side, Tang Xia was thrown into a cell after returning to the castle. War King then threw her onto a punishment. He locked her arms with chains and his actions were extremely ruthless.
Although Tang Xia wanted to break free, she could not get out of this at all.
War King could not stop himself from laughing coldly. “Alright, stop trying. This thing is specially used to lock up vampires. Don’t worry, you’ll definitely not be able to break out of it. It’ll be useless, even if you’re powerful.”
While saying so, he slowly leaned towards her and took a sniff of her smell. He nodded in satisfaction and his face was full of enjoyment.
“Hmm…a smell full of power!”
Tang Xia could not help but feel disgusted. Although there was nowhere to run to, she still took two steps back. She turned around and looked at her surroundings, trying to see if there was anything she could use to help herself break free of this thing. However, there was nothing at all, which caused her to be disappointed.
At this moment, without warning at all, War King made a slit across her wrist with a silver dagger. Tang Xia instantly erupted into a scream while struggling to break free. Cold sweat was forming on her forehead.
When she realized what was going on, War King was greedily receiving her dripping blood with a bowl. The bowl was about to reach its brim.
Tang Xia felt a little weak and leaned back a little. She could not help but become weak due to a huge loss of blood. Just the day before, she had caused herself to lose lots of blood and she did not drink the blood bag at all. Hence, her body was becoming weaker and weaker.
With a joyous look on his face, War King held onto the bowl of blood and took a sniff. A blood-heavy smell welcomed him. Tang Xia was disgusted by his look of enjoyment.
As if he had made a determination, he downed the whole bowl at once. He licked the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
Tang Xia frowned at his satisfied look. “What a delicacy…” Just as he finished his words, his face suddenly turned bitter, as if he had just been poisoned.
Tang Xia was confused as to what just happened, but seeing him suffer, she thought that it was probably a good chance to escape.
She struggled with all her might to break free, but it was to no avail. Full of frustration, she glared at War King, “Ha! This is karma! What’s the point of tying me up? You might as well just let me go! What a dishonorable elderly! How dare you call yourself a vampire elderly!”
War King was already grabbing onto his stomach due to the overwhelming pain. Hearing her full-fledge scolding, he exploded instantly. He grabbed onto a punishment tool by the side and said harshly, “You’re just an ant! You’re now a prisoner and you still won’t stop! Let me just kill you!” While saying so, he lifted the tool and prepared to make the hit.
Tang Xia never expected him to really want to kill her. At that moment, Katherine suddenly barged into the room, panting heavily. When she opened the door, this was the scene she saw.
Tang Xia instantly looked at her with great relief. Katherine swallowed her saliva and looked at War King with fear as she said anxiously, “Sir, someone’s looking for Tang Xia.”
While saying so, she looked at Tang Xia, signaling to her to not be too worked up. Tang Xia nodded and remained silent without provoking him.
War King’s face twitched in pain. He frowned and growled fiercely, “No matter who is it, I’m not letting them see her!”
During then, Katherine was looking at him with a contemplated look. However, War King was already dying from the torture by Tang Xia and his own body.
Seeing that War King was going to lift up a weapon again, Katherine quickly said, “The person who wants to see her, is the King.”
