Chapter 865 - Escape (1/2)

Time flew by as the Soaring Cloud Sect's members ran for their lives. As the sky turned dark, the martial artists found it harder to see clearly in the dark.

However, vampires were best at hunting in the dark. The Scarlet Hunters who had vampire blood had a similar trait, which meant they were much stronger at night.

”The preys have warmed up. It's time to catch them!” Blood Baron said as he licked his lips.

”Haha! Boss, I think you have overdone it. Based on our capabilities, hunting these martial artists is a piece of cake. Why are we wasting so much effort?” One of the Scarlet Hunters asked.

”You need to understand something. Blood is like fine wine. If we do not go through this process, we won't be able to taste the essence of the liquid.” Blood Baron laughed. He behaved very elegantly, almost like a true gentleman who was discussing red wine. Nobody would have guessed that he was a man-eating demon.

After being modified with the first generation of vampiric genes, the Scarlet Hunters craved for blood even more than the vampires did. The vampires who had sought refuge in China would definitely not have access to human blood, despite being able to survive there. However, the Scarlet Hunters were different. As they had been affected by the first generation of vampiric genes, they had a desperate need for human blood.

”Hehe! Here they are!” One of the Scarlet Hunters in charge of surveying said. As they moved much faster than the martial artists, they were already far ahead on the path taken by members of the Soaring Cloud Sect.

”Come on, my brothers! It's time for dinner!” Blood Baron smiled wryly. At the same time, he leaped off the cliff and ambushed the Soaring Cloud Sect's members who were right below them.

”Haha! We can finally feast! The snacks we had earlier were only teasers!” A few of the Scarlet Hunters followed after Blood Baron.

”Hold on! Something's not right!” Ma Xuantong frowned. He then looked upward.

”Oh, no! It's an ambush!” Although Ma Xuantong had realized that the Scarlet Hunters were falling toward them, it was too late!

”Ahh!”

”Master! Save me!”

”Darn! Leave Ming Zhi alone!”

The Scarlet Hunters' ambush was very successful. The only martial artists who could see the Scarlet Hunters were Ma Xuantong and Ye Tianshun. The other Level 4 elders were only able to see flashes of red. Meanwhile, the Level 3 disciples could not even see a thing. All they could notice was that the seniors and juniors around them disappearing one at a time.

Fear began to spread amongst the disciples of the Soaring Cloud Sect.

”Where do you think you're going?” Although the normal martial artists could not do anything to the Scarlet Hunters, Ma Xuantomng was able to keep up with them. Therefore, when one of the Scarlet Hunters captured a young disciple, Ma Xuantong immediately rushed over.

”Hehe! Do you think you can stop us?” The Scarlet Hunter smiled coyly at Ma Xuantong. After that, eight of the other Scarlet Hunters came over.

”Chinese martial artist, I've heard that you are pretty strong!” One of the Scarlet Hunters suddenly attacked Ma Xuantong from behind.

”Hmph!” Ma Xuantong snorted as he dodged the attack. At the same time, he drew his long sword out and struck the Scarlet Hunter's wrist.

”Ahh!” The Scarlet Hunter was taken aback by Ma Xuantong's move. Although Ma Xuantong's movement speed was not very different from the Scarlet Hunters, he was exceptionally fast in drawing his sword.

”Tsk…” The Scarlet Hunter's wrist had been badly injured as an inch-long wound could be seen.
