Chapter 333 The Human King
It is no longer a burning pain, but a coolness that permeates the whole body.
It was only then that Smith realized that his chest had been penetrated by Yin Xiu's hand. There was no room for turning back.
Poof!
Opening his mouth and spitting out a blood arrow, Smith pushed Yin Xiu away and staggered back.
Only then did he feel what the "Dragon and Tiger Qi" that had been mentioned before actually existed.
At this moment, he only felt a strong wind rushing through his body, destroying his internal organs and blood vessels.
Although in the mouth of Eastern Qi practitioners, they should be called meridians, Smith still stubbornly called them blood vessels, fascia, and tendons.
"You can really kill me? A count-level vampire?" Smith was full of surprise.
"Why not?"
Yin Xiu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "I said, just because I can't beat you, doesn't mean I can't kill you."
Smith didn't bother to guess the riddle with him. He just glanced at the bloody chest. There was a blood hole as big as a bowl, and blood was leaking out.
After taking a deep breath, black air spurted out from Smith's five orifices, and then his whole body began to swell and swing uncontrollably.
The skin, flesh, and even fingers that had no holes before began to have holes one by one, spitting out black air.
"Be careful, this should be miasma."
Ma Xiaoyu had already dealt with a large number of bats at this time. He turned around and threw out a piece of talisman to purify the incoming black energy.
Finally, after a while, Smith, whose whole body had shriveled up, spat out the last few wisps of blood mist from his mouth and nose, and collapsed.
[Milestone reached: eliminate vampires 7/13]
[Open the random selection event, you can choose one of the following three skills to obtain some vampire abilities]
[Bloody Memories]: Vampire magic, active skill. It can be activated by touching the blood of the deceased. You can browse through it at will and extract a piece of the opponent's memory within a month. The accuracy and search speed are determined by the amount of blood. It can be activated up to twice on the same enemy.

[Scarlet Foehn]: Vampire magic, active skill. It consumes at least one-third of one's own blood to activate. Raise your hand to send out a burst of invisible strong wind, which will cause tearing and drying effects wherever it passes. The range and intensity of the blow are determined by the blood consumed.
Cooling time: ten minutes.
[Stone Imaging]: Dark magic, active skill. Consume half of the body's blood to summon a gargoyle. The strength of the gargoyle is random.
Cooling time: two hours, up to three can exist at the same time.
Yin Xiu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle at the sight. Although this vampire's skills were powerful, whether he was using the invisible wind or summoning powerful gargoyles, they were all very useful skills.
But the precious blood must be consumed at every turn. Yin Xiu is not a vampire. No matter how powerful he is, if he loses more than one-third of his blood, it is still a problem whether he can stand still.
What's more, Yin Xiu now has the means to attack difficulties, but lacks some methods of detection.
In this way, he chose [Bloody Memories] without hesitation. If he wanted to find the whereabouts of Liu Banxian, he had to use this method.
But as soon as he selected the skill, another voice came from his mind.
[Milestone reached: Elimination of Earl-level vampires]
[Milestone Reward: Human King Shield]

The human king, the emperor of the world, the one who establishes all the rules and controls all the rules. Everywhere he looks and reaches, there is a space that the human king can conquer.
"Why, are you helping him observe a moment of silence?"
Ma Xiaoyu poked Yin Xiu's waist with her arm, pulling him back from his brief daze.
"What's the silence for?"
Yin Xiu grinned at her, "If I kill such a big devil, shouldn't I celebrate with champagne?"
Ma Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him, "You are wondering, where did the champagne come from under this ground?"
"It's okay, I have this."
Yin Xiu took out the wine bottle from her arms and handed it to Ma Xiaoyu, "Want a sip?"
Ma Xiaoyu glanced at him and without hesitation, took it and poured the soju into her throat. A blush immediately appeared on her face and ears.
Yin Xiu completely forgot about the wound on her shoulder and just watched quietly with a smile on her face.
Luo Wei watched speechlessly. Just now he couldn't intervene, and now he couldn't intervene. It seemed redundant no matter what.
When he was a patrolman in the past, subduing demons and demons was the job of people like them, so he was redundant.
Now he is still a policeman, but to a certain extent he has also become a Rakshasa. As a result, it is still not his turn to slay demons and demons, and he is still redundant.
After the fight, it was clearly supposed to be a celebration for the three of them, but it still seemed redundant for him to stand aside.
Is there no place for him in this world?
Helpless, Luo Wei could only put the gloves on his hands and coughed twice.
"Why don't you let me search you next and let me use my reasoning ability to see whether Smith is real or not?"
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking and was about to squat down, Yin Xiu, who was chatting with Ma Xiaoyu, stretched out her hand again and put it on his shoulder.
"Brave Detective, let me come."
Luo Wei raised his head sadly, "Are you good at this too?"
Yin Xiu smiled, took off one of her gloves, and moved her wrists and knuckles, "You'll know if it works or not. No one can guarantee that it will work, right?"
"So you don't need me anymore!"
Luo Wei glanced at him and simply stood up.
"I don't know about others, but if you say you can try, you will definitely not fail."
"What kind of theory is this based on, Yongtan?" Yin Xiu asked.
"Not a theory, not a doctrine or reasoning."
Luo Wei sighed, "This is an intuition, as if everything in this world, good or bad, revolves around you.
We, the people, are responsible for being the go-between and providing you with help of one kind or another. ”
Yin Xiu spread her hands and said, "Yongtan, you sound like we have some division of labor or positioning."
"Maybe! I always feel that the last time you injected blood into me, if it had been anyone else, I would have been lying in the morgue, ready to put up the national flag."
"It's hard to tell! But I'll lend you your good advice and I hope we can get it done in one go."
As she spoke, Yin Xiu stretched out her hand and touched the blood on the ground.
At this moment, [Bloody Memories] was activated.
Many memory fragments appeared in Yin Xiu's mind, but the way these fragments appeared was very strange.
It seemed like there were many glowing jellyfish floating in the dark water, each suspended in a different position, tightly surrounding Yin Xiu and spinning around him.
What confuses Yin Xiu the most is that every jellyfish looks almost exactly the same, without any difference.
Those memory fragments should exist in the body of the jellyfish, like a "heart" wrapped in a soft body, making it invisible from the outside.
[Maybe I should filter it again? 】
With this idea in mind, Yin Xiu began to try to peel off the cocoons in this dark sea of memory. He refined a keyword: Liu Banxian.
As the name echoed in his heart, the glowing jellyfish began to disappear around him, disappearing into the darkness.
Around him, there were four or five jellyfish floating in the air, patrolling up and down.
Yin Xiu paused and pointed at one of them...
"Brother, from the look on your face, there must have been a bloody disaster in recent days."
Liu Banxian's grotesque face suddenly came over, frightening Yin Xiu into a cold sweat.
He was probably talking to Smith, showing no fear at all, just shaking his head, quite leisurely.
This is Smith's perspective. Yin Xiu can only see Liu Banxian at the moment.
According to inference, Yin Xiu is almost living in Smith's "eye socket" at the moment, looking at the surrounding environment and things immersively.
Liu Banxian clasped his hands behind his back and spoke in a measured tone.
"Although you foreigners don't pay attention to birth dates, the five elements and four signs, nor do you talk about zodiac signs.
But as soon as I took a look, I knew that you were afraid of fire among the five elements. Are you afraid of light and like to walk at night?
As soon as I saw your expression, brother, I knew you must be scolding me for talking nonsense. But, if a person speaks so many words in his life, they can't all be wise words, right?
Otherwise, even the thickest dictionary would not be able to record all of their "famous aphorisms" from those great men.
The same goes for us fortune tellers. Don’t think we are talking nonsense.
Sometimes this thing is like gold panning. You dig up a basket of sand, wash it in the river, and finally find a piece of gold the size of a grain of rice. This is considered a harvest, and you should be happy. ”
"Well..."
Smith made an unintelligible sound, as if he was thinking about how to respond to Liu Banxian.
After a pause, he said: "Liu, Mr. Liu?"
"Liu Yisi, this is my English name. If you don't mind, you can call me this." Liu Banxian smiled.
"Lewis?"
"Wrong, it's Lewis." Liu Banxian corrected.
"Okay, Lewis."
Smith coughed twice awkwardly, as if he was coughing up the phlegm in his throat.
"Is my current situation considered to be like a tiger falling into a trap, with no life left?"
"Wrong."
Liu Banxian shook his head, "A tiger falls into a trap, and a strong man suffers when he falls into a pit." The original article said this, which means that no matter how strong a person is, he will inevitably fall into some difficulties and obstacles and be unable to escape.
You are in such a predicament right now, but there is still room for improvement. ”
"Huh!?"
Smith's tone was obviously a little surprised, and he couldn't help but ask: "How to change the situation? Lewis?"
"It's Lewis, sir."
Liu Banxian opened the paper fan with a snap, covered the fan with green mountains and pine trees to his chest, and then he spoke slowly.
"Of course this is about abandoning darkness and turning to light, changing evil and returning to the right path. Your biggest threat right now comes from the sun, which is fire.
As for our brother Yin, we also have fire in our lives and are extremely fierce. If you want to survive in desperate situations, then don’t violate the rules, don’t fight against the great road, and surrender to him in time. This is the best choice to comply with destiny. . ”
Yin Xiu's "sight" went dark for a moment, and she turned up.
That should be Smith rolling his eyes at Liu Banxian.
When Yin Xiu came back to his senses, in his dark and profound world, the jellyfish that was originally spotted had disappeared without a trace.
Apparently Yin Xiu had used up an opportunity.
[Bloody Memories] can only be activated twice at most on an object, and there are still five jellyfish present.
"Why is Liu Banxian so verbose? He has to show off his magic tricks to everyone before he is satisfied? Is he practicing all the time?"
Complaining like this, Yin Xiu looked at the other jellyfish.
It's still the same, no changes can be seen.
"Liu Banxian, although you haven't died yet, you have to protect me. If you try again and it doesn't work, we can only try other methods. Just leave it to fate."
Ma Xiaoyu and Luo Wei looked at Yin Xiu squatting there, seeming to be deep in thought or thinking casually, with their hands still soaked in Smith's blood.
They didn't dare to disturb, they just watched quietly, each making various speculations in their hearts.
[Could it be that he is possessed by the desire to kill and is possessed by a demon? 】
[Is it possible that you haven’t found anything, but you are too embarrassed to stand up and say no, so you are waiting for me to give you a step? So how should I give him this step so as not to hurt his face? 】
When the two of them were thinking like this, Yin Xiu closed her eyes and pointed at one of them as if she were gambling...
It's almost the same scene, the wet rock walls, the mossy ground, the gurgling water, everything is exactly the same as anywhere else in the world, no difference.
Liu Banxian was sitting on the rock wall, his expression still so contented, and he did not seem to feel worried or aware that he was in a dangerous situation of being a "prisoner".
"Mr. Smith, I am serious. I am not trying to intimidate you or for any other purpose. There is really not much you can do right now.
beat? You are alone now, and both black and white are chasing you. It is difficult for you to defeat four with just one fist.
talk? I see your style, and I also know that what you played before was the same as the upper class. Either you plotted against others, or others plotted against you, and everyone took advantage of each other.
Not to mention close friends, I don’t even have anyone I can talk to with. Don't look at me like that. The upper class is all like this. This is a common problem that cannot be changed. I have no intention of criticizing anyone!
So what I mean is, if you want to keep a glimmer of hope, this is the only way left. Let's talk about it first. It doesn't matter. ”
"You don't think I really dare not kill you, do you?"
There was a grinding sound from Smith's mouth, like a predator grinding its teeth.
Obviously he was threatening and warning Liu Banxian, hoping to shut him up.
But Liu Banxian was used to big scenes. He didn't care about this and just continued his rhetoric.
"Don't stare at me like that. It will be very harmful if you get angry. Although you vampires have amazing recovery capabilities,..."
Before he finished speaking, everything in Smith's eyes quickly became blurry and became restless.
Several figures in black robes jumped out from the rock wall, one grabbed Liu Banxian's shoulder and dragged him backwards.
The rest attacked Smith, leaping forward.
These men in black robes were dressed exactly the same as the Qi Refiners Yin Xiu met before.
It's just that they seem to be much stronger than the group last time in terms of strength, speed, and mental outlook.
Maybe they are the elite among the Qi Practitioners and are really responsible for fighting?
Yin Xiu didn't know, and Smith probably didn't know either.
Smith only saw Liu Banxian being pulled by someone in his field of vision and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
And around him, several Qigong practitioners holding luminous magic weapons were running towards him!
"Master, I didn't expect that there are masters in this group of people."
Yin Xiu stood up and let out a sigh of relief.
Now, he already knew what to do next.
