Chapter 864 - The Wrong Choice (2/2)
”Oh!?” Ma Xuantong was glad that there was a diversion. Although he believed in Ge Xuanzhong's integrity, he would have been forced to agree with Ye Tianshun to interrogate Ge Xuanzhong.
After walking over to the disciples, Ma Xuantong's eyes widened. At the same time, he started frowning.
They had discovered the corpse of the Soaring Cloud Sect's disciples. The disciple's facial expression looked horrible. Although he had been killed, there were no other injuries on his body apart from the deep hole in his chest. His heart had been removed from within.
”Who did this? It's terribly cruel!” Ma Xuantong now firmly believed what Ge Xuanzhong said. They must have been ambushed earlier. Also, the opponents must have been very cruel beings to have taken someone's heart out like that.
”They might be very strong vampires…” Ge Xuanzhong told everyone what he thought.
”Hmph! A bunch of trash! You can't even see the enemy even when your disciples were killed!” Ye Tianshun snorted. Although his earlier judgment was clearly wrong, he still did not want to admit it.
”You…” Ge Xuanzhong felt infuriated by Ye Tianshun's hostility, but he could not do anything about it.
”Sect Master, there's another one here!” One of the disciples discovered another corpse.
”Jeez…” Ma Xuantong was very sure the opponent was a vampire after seeing the disciple's corpse.
The corpse's facial expression seemed equally horrified as the previous one. Similarly, there were no visible injuries on the body. However, there were two bite marks beneath the disciple's neck.
”Hadn't the vampires all been killed by the mutants? Even if any of them survived, they would be enemies of the mutants. Why would they appear in Tokyo and attack us instead?” Ma Xuantong's mind was filled with questions.
”Sect Master, we can't stay here any longer!” Ge Xuanzhong said. From the looks of things, there were probably more than one Pinnacle Level 4 vampires. Only Ma Xuantong and Ye Tianshun were Pinnacle Level 4 experts in the entire team. They were clearly outnumbered by the vampires and would be at a disadvantage.
If the vampires were willing to attack these martial artists at all costs, the Soaring Cloud Sect might be completely wiped out.
”You're right! We can't stay here. Let's go!” Ma Xuantong nodded.
This time, Ye Tianshun did not argue against Ma Xuantong. Although he did not care about the lives of the disciples, he still valued his own life. Now that he had heard that there might be more than a few Pinnacle Level 4 vampires, he was worried about his own life.
The group of martial artists immediately departed from their hiding spot with Ma Xuantong taking the lead.
However, their decision was clearly a mistake. Although the martial artists moved very quickly, their disciples were becoming exhausted. Ge Xuanzhong and the others were initially out for a hunt, but they were unable to find any food at all. Now that everyone had to run at full speed, the disciples were beginning to burn out.
Moreover, they did not know who their opponents were. Those were Pinnacle Level 4 vampires. Although Ma Xuantong and the others had made a slight mistake in their analysis, these Pinnacle Level 4 Scarlet Hunters were much more powerful than vampires. Not only did they move faster than Pinnacle Level 4 martial artists, but they also fought better. Therefore, the Soaring Cloud Sect's members were wasting their energy trying to run away from thirty Scarlet Hunters.
