Chapter 48
Vampire VS Painted Skin Ghost
That body, which should have been shattered to pieces, had its limbs twist and reset on their own in a way that completely defied physiological structure, and then it stood up unsteadily!
What's even more terrifying is her body!
Michelle's exposed skin was covered with countless torn cracks, revealing sticky black filth inside. Black smoke and a putrid stench were constantly emanating from the cracks!
That wasn't flesh and blood at all, but a lump of rotten flesh forcibly stuffed into human skin!
"It's here after all!" Selena's voice was filled with excitement!
"It hurts! It hurts so much!!!"
The monster let out a huge roar, completely abandoning its disguise. As it expanded and grew larger from the ground, its cracked skin was completely torn apart like a tattered sack!
Before everyone's horrified eyes, it instantly swelled and twisted from a "little girl" into a terrifying form nearly two meters tall!
It has a humanoid outline, but its limbs are disproportionately long, especially its two arms, which are astonishingly long. Its pitch-black body constantly emits black smoke, with remnants of skin and fragments of white dress still clinging to it.
The creature's head had distorted facial features that were vaguely discernible, but its mouth was split open to the base of its ears, revealing sharp, gleaming teeth!
Painted Skin Ghost! A type of ghost that can hide in the human world by constantly changing its skin!
The guests crouching on the ground were all ashen-faced and began to move around incessantly. The bolder ones were already half-crouching, desperately trying to hide and escape to the edges...
"Grab it!" Elder Eli's voice rang out.
Without the slightest hesitation, the vampires who had surrounded the scene abandoned the guests and began firing at the painted-skin ghost!
Puff puff!
The bullets struck the painted-skin ghosts, passing right through them as if they hadn't hit anything. Only the black smoke enveloping the bullets dissipated rapidly in the air. Coupled with the painted-skin ghosts' screams, it showed that their shots weren't entirely useless.
However, its usefulness is very limited!
The vampires reacted extremely quickly, immediately abandoning their guns and drawing their melee weapons, swarming forward.
However, the Painted Skin Demon's attack power does not seem to be weak!
Its long, waving arms and sharp nails were its best weapons, and it was incredibly fast, sending the vampire warriors at the forefront flying one after another.
Rip! Rip! The tearing sound continued!
One vampire's chest was easily pierced by claws, while another vampire who tried to attack from the flank had his knife-wielding arm and half of his shoulder torn off!
Black, filthy blood and shattered entrails were instantly splattered onto the clean floor.
These vampire warriors were well-trained, but the Painted Skin Ghost seemed unlike any opponent they had ever encountered. Its movements carried a strange rhythm that made it impossible for them to defend against it.
Only Qin Jin could see it clearly: because of its neither-real-nor-illusory structure, the Painted Skin Ghost's fighting style defied the normal combat principles of living beings, making it impossible for vampires to defend against, and thus putting them at a disadvantage.
The battle scenes were extremely bloody!
The Painted Skin Demon was like a tiger among sheep, its long arms waving and stirring up a storm of blood and gore. Each claw strike was accompanied by the muffled sound of bones shattering and the vampire's mournful howl.
In just over ten seconds, the hall was transformed into a bloody slaughterhouse!
"Ah—!! Help!!"
"God! Demon!!"
The hall is now completely out of control. Witnessing the appearance of the terrifying monster, the immense fear overwhelmed everyone's reason. The crowd suddenly rioted, crying, pushing and shoving, surging towards the various exits like a tidal wave.
"Keep the outside under control; don't let a single one escape!"
Selena gave the order sternly, and the vampires guarding the garden immediately sprang into action.
They pounced on the guests who had rushed out, pinning them down again and herding them to the open space in the center of the garden. A few were shot dead. The threat of death and the brief sense of security they felt away from the banquet hall made them quiet down again. Although the cries continued, they were now obediently gathered together.
The killing spree raged in the hall, and the garden was in chaos, but Qin Jin paid no attention to any of it; he was only concerned about what was happening upstairs.
A small figure in a gothic dress silently emerged from the room with the broken door.
Aresa's skirt was slightly torn, and her face bore healing abrasions, clearly indicating she had fought with the Painted Skin Demon. She pursed her lips and walked to the fourth-floor railing, pulling out a doll from behind her hand—
He held the bottle of nitroglycerin, which Qin Jin had repeatedly instructed him to keep, then glanced at the location of the painted-skin ghost, raised his arm, and leaned back slightly...
"NO! Alessa! NO!"
At this point, Qin Jin no longer cared about hiding. He suddenly pushed open the window, leaned out, and called out to Alessa.
Without a doubt, throwing such a large bottle of nitroglycerin down there would be devastating, if not the entire mansion, at least the banquet hall would be destroyed, and the whole building would likely collapse. That would make things much worse.
The enormous roar pierced through the monster's howl and the cries of the crowd, reaching clearly to the fourth floor.
Aresa's movements froze instantly.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qin Jin's anxious face and his desperate downward pressure gesture—"Don't throw it! Don't throw it!"
A hint of reluctance flashed in the little girl's gray-blue eyes, and her little mouth seemed to pout slightly, but she ultimately obeyed Qin Jin's instructions.
Nitroglycerin was stuffed into the doll, and in its place was Dante's rune revolver, which Qin Jin had deliberately obtained before setting off.
Then, Alessa climbed over the railing and fell vertically towards where Qin Jin was.
Just as her petite figure swept across the second-floor platform, a strong and powerful arm shot out like lightning, precisely grabbing her waist and steadily bringing her into the room.
The four successfully reunited! Like a little animal returning to its nest, Alessa stood quietly beside Qin Jin, still gripping the rune revolver tightly, her eyes scanning the area below warily.
"call……"
Constantine wiped away a cold sweat:
"My little darling Alessa, next time, please don't play with nitroglycerin, okay? I'll get you a few bombs, the really powerful kind, and you don't need to bring that bottle stuff..."
Catherine was completely dumbfounded, her mouth slightly agape, her worldview being repeatedly shattered and reshaped tonight.
Qin Jin and his companions' actions had successfully attracted the attention of Selena and Elder Eli. The Death Walker's gaze fell on the three of them before locking onto the Painted Skin Ghost in front of him.
Having watched for so long, she was familiar with the Painted Skin Ghost's fighting style and was ready to make her move!
Selena drew the longsword from her back and charged into the fray in a few steps!
At this moment, the Painted Skin Demon was also seriously injured. Although it was powerful, it had many wounds on its body when faced with the continuous attacks of vampire warriors with amazing recovery abilities. Black smoke was emanating from its body, and its movements had become much slower.
The Painted Skin Demon let out an even more ferocious roar, swept its long arms to force back the enemies in front of it, and suddenly charged towards the entrance of the hall with a burst of power from its thick hind legs.
Selena arrived just in time, like a night owl hunting its prey, landing precisely in front of the Painted Skin Demon's charging path!
The speed and timing were breathtaking!
"die!"
The painted-skin demon saw the person blocking its way and its long arm, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, fiercely grabbed at Selena's head!
Selena's eyes were as cold as ice, and instead of retreating, she advanced when faced with claws that could tear steel apart!
She slid sideways at an incredibly flexible angle to avoid the claw strike, while her longsword drew a chilling silver arc!
laugh--!
A dull thud as a sharp blade pierced flesh!
The sword light precisely sliced through the relatively vulnerable right knee joint of the Painted Skin Demon!
A large spray of dark, foul blood gushed out with a painful scream!
The Painted Skin Demon's massive body instantly lost its balance and crashed forward!
Without pausing for a moment, Selena pounced on the demon like a ghost, stomping heavily on the back of the demon's neck with her high-heeled boot, which contained terrifying power, almost crushing its head into the shattered marble floor!
The tip of the longsword in his other hand was already aimed at its spine and plunged down!
puff!
The painted skin demon's body convulsed suddenly, letting out an even louder howl, but its upper body was already immobile, with only its legs kicking and stomping wildly. Selena slashed again without hesitation!
At this moment, Qin Jin noticed clearly that there was a piece of yellow paper with strange symbols drawn on it on the hilt of Selena's knife.
It was a talisman from the East, like... a ghost-suppressing talisman!
The paper is old and shows signs of age.
"Elder Eli!" Selena continued her actions, and after suppressing the Painted Skin Demon, she called out to those behind her.
Elder Eli's withered hand took an object from the large inner pocket of his black robe—
That was an ancient Eastern scroll painting, with the ends made of dark sandalwood and the body of old yellow silk. The ends of the scroll were also carved with Bagua symbols!
The scroll traced an arc in the air and landed steadily in Selena's empty left hand!
