Blood Moon Hunters - Chapter 279

Chapter 279 The Arduous Fight in the West

Somewhere in the Western world, under the Statue of Liberty…

“Phew…!”

Edward and Catherine were panting and covered with blood. The deep wounds on their body exposed their bones.

“Honey, are we going to die here today?” Catherine asked with a trembling voice.

“I don’t think we will, Catherine. We’ve helped Bugui so much, and we don’t deserve to be killed by those vampires so easily. Trust me, we can make it out of this.”

Edward rubbed Catherine’s blonde hair, which had been dyed red by her blood.

“I wonder if Bugui and the others are safe now. I miss them so much. If they were here, we wouldn’t have to end up like this.” Catherine talked to herself, leaning on the bronze statue.

“They’ll be fine. If they were here, those vampires wouldn’t dare to approach us. Haha!” Edward shook his head with a bitter smile.

Both of them hoped that Wang Bugui and the others were here with them, but the fact was that Wang Bugui was in the Far East at this moment. The two were now surrounded by enemies and their chance to survive was slim.

“I heard that Meiqing and Yan had also been ambushed days ago. There was nothing good about them in the news told by Kathy,” Catherine said with a frown.

They could be besieged by a great number of vampires, including Annie and Barnard. Thinking of that, Catherine nearly cried.

Edward’s heart ached more when he saw her crying. He gave his chest to his wife for her to cry on. Edward became as desperate as Catherine after he heard the news about Meiqing and Yan.

Given the situation he was in, he found himself standing no chance to get away from this.

“Whiz, whiz, whiz!”

The air flowing around him suddenly changed. Edward lit a cigarette and inhaled. Then he leaned toward Catherine and whispered, “They’ve arrived, honey.”

“They wouldn’t dare to come closer. This is our home court. We should teach him a lesson!”

Catherine raised her head and wiped her tears. Then she said, “If we can’t go back, we’ll perish together with those vampires!”

“Craziness before death!”

The two uttered that at the same time. Then they separated in order to keep an eye on different directions. Dozens of ghost ships were approaching. On those ships were many vampires standing.

The ships were driven forward by the wind. Some vampires began paddling faster and faster when they saw the shores ahead.

“Boom! Boom!”

Edward and Catherine wouldn’t give them any chance to pull in to the shore. 10 more magic grenades were thrown out to the ships. Catherine had already switched her gun to full-moon mode so that she could precisely hit the ships.

One bullet, one boat. At the same time, Edward was pulling the Fairy Bow and fired at the ships with all kinds of magical ammunition. He stopped all the ships from approaching on his own.

Vampires had been abandoned by God. They couldn’t fly or swim across the sea. Sailing was their only choice. Now they had to fight back, otherwise, they would soon be attacked and sink.

They were casting blood spells from afar. More and more ghost ships showed up to help them. They believed that they could win the fight because they had more people. That had to kill the couple first if they wanted to pull in to shore.

They would do whatever it took to win the fight. The Black Tower and the Sanctuary were now being suppressed, which made it the perfect timing for them to carry out their plan. The only thing blocking their way was the Hunters’ Union, so they had to get rid of that first.

“For the King! For our new life! Charge!” a Count commanded the sailors.

The vampires roared as if they had been bloodthirsty for hundreds of years. They rushed to the shore at full sail.

“Barrage time!”

Instead of giving in due to fear, Edward and Catherine yelled together and poured down their grenades in one direction. They had activated Acuity Limit esoteric skill and super sense.

After full observation on the battlefield, they continued to attack the enemies from afar, stopping those who wanted to sneak closer.

At the same time in Japan, in a remote temple of a nameless city…

“Phew!”

Meiqing was almost dying from serious wounds. She puked lots of blood and looked paler. Her pink clothes were dyed red, and there were a few scary wounds slashed on her skin.

It seemed that she had been hit by some huge claw. But the claw had failed to tear her to pieces, only leaving those bone-deep wounds.

“How are you? Do you still need spiritual strength?” Kamikawa Hiko hugged her and asked.

The wounds on him were as deep as those on Meiqing. One of his hands had been burned black. There were several scary bloody holes over his body; fortunately, none of those was fatal to him.

Meiqing felt cold, but she could feel the warmth from him. She forced a smile and asked, “Are we going to die here?”

“No, we won’t! I won’t allow that to happen! Let’s pull through this and everything will get better. I’ll take you out of the siege as long as I make a breakthrough in cultivation!”

Kamikawa Hiko was shaking his head. He was trying his hardest not to lose it. The two were counting on each other. Meiqing was supporting herself with spiritual strength so that she wouldn’t die any time soon.

He would protect her as long as he was able to stand up. If she were to see him lose control, it might kill her.

The woman once put her life aside for him, so he would never allow that to happen again.

“But… we’ve been to so many cities and they’re still tracking us. Are you still able to fight Infante now?” Meiqing asked. Her breath was faint.

Kamikawa Hiko nodded, pressing her palm onto his chest. He said, “Trust me, we still have hope. Annie and Barnard are not in Japan now. They’ve gone to other countries.”

“The one chasing us now is an Infante, and he isn’t as powerful as the two. I still have the energy to perform the Onmyōdō. I will keep you safe!”

Meiqing relaxed and smiled. She said, “I… I believe in you! But you have to promise me that if you can’t resist the enemies, you should leave me and run away immediately.”

“No! I won’t step back this time! I would rather trade your life with mine!” Kamikawa Hiko yelled aloud.

He was calm inside but he looked out of control outside. He wondered since when he had cared for the woman so much.

He remained calm even when he faced death. He had been used to treat everything in a calm way.

However, he began to change the moment he saw Meiqing and how badly she was injured. He started to lose it in fear of losing this woman.

“You…” Meiqing wanted to say something, but she was too weak to speak.

She might have died without the prana power inside her. Her long sleeves were also helping her with spiritual strength.

“Stop saying that. You can count on me!” Kamikawa Hiko shook his head and stopped her.

He transformed his yin and yang power into pure spiritual strength and poured it into Meiqing’s body.

“Whoo!”

The wind from outside blew out many candles in the temple. Kamikawa Hiko was startled.

He grabbed the talisman tightly in his hand and stood in front of Meiqing. Moments later, 10 more people arrived at the gate. All of them were vampires at the Count level.

“Hehe! We’ve been chasing you for so long. You’ve been to almost half of the cities in this country. Are you tired now?”

The leader of the team stood out. He was the Eleventh Infante that was newly appointed. He was looking at the man and the woman in the temple with an unfriendly smile.

“Ugh!”

Kamikawa Hiko frowned. His clothes were soaked in sweat. It was really a bad time for them to face so many Counts and a new Infante.

Their hope to survive was slim. Kamikawa Hiko already thought about how to escape as soon as he saw them come in.

However, no matter how many times he calculated it, their chance of survival was less than 3%. Moreover, as the Infante came out, it had dropped to less than 1%.

“Just leave!” Meiqing tried hard to sit up, trying to persuade him.

“No, if you don’t have the chance to survive, I’ll die along with you.”

There was nothing more important to him than protecting this woman at this moment.

“I’m almost moved into tears!” The Infante clapped and mocked.

In less than an eyeblink, his face turned cold. He threatened the two. “I’ll make you suffer miserably, but before that, I’ll take the woman away for pleasure…”

“Don’t you dare!” said Meiqing, gritting her teeth.

The new Infante smiled even more disdainfully. His voice was deep. “Enough. Let’s cut the crap. You listen to me. Tear the man to pieces and leave the woman to me!”

He rushed over with 10 more Counts. It had taken them less than a minute to get in front of Kamikawa Hiko. The Counts reached out their claws to Kamikawa Hiko, and the Infante tried to grab Meiqing.

“Poof!”

The moment they touched the two, the man and woman suddenly turned into pieces or paper. The Infante realized that they had been fooled. He waved his hand and cast a spell to somewhere behind him, and then the void in that spot started to bleed.

By the time the other vampires realized what had happened, Kamikawa Hiko and Meiqing had already escaped. They were now miles away from the temple.

“Don’t let them get away!” the Infante roared and rushed ahead, followed by the Counts.

The two were already badly wounded, which meant that they couldn’t possibly run as fast as the vampires.

“Shikigami: White Tiger! Combine!”

As Kamikawa Hiko roared, he gave everything to activate the Shikigami, letting it possess him. He had to carry Meiqing away and block the attack from behind at the same time. However, those vampires seemed impossible to shake off.
