“This is it.”

Walking to the gate wrapped in vines, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked inside. The entire manor was in darkness, and there was no sound at all. It looked like an uninhabited villa.

but……

"Why do foreigners always like to build their homes in such a remote place with no village or shop nearby?"

Fang Zheng looked around and couldn't help but complain. This manor was basically far away from the city. Not only that, it was actually located in the woods outside the highway. Forget about anything else. Going out to buy a hamburger would probably take at least 30 minutes to drive. If someone got sick, there wouldn't be enough time to call the emergency number...

Oh, it's also a good place to kill people and rob, and set up a secret room and isolated island.

"If there's a big snowfall in winter, we can play detective."

Fang Zheng muttered to himself as he leapt over the four or five meter high wall next to him. Although there were surveillance cameras on it, it seemed that the power supply here was out, so these cameras and alarm devices were naturally useless.

Under the cover of night, Fang Zheng climbed over the high wall like a ghost. He quickly glanced around and soon locked onto the place where the smell of blood was the strongest. Then Fang Zheng clenched his weapon tightly and slowly walked towards the house in the manor.

The door of the main house of the manor was not closed but directly opened. Fang Zheng could also see two men in suits lying on the steps. From their appearance, they should be the bodyguards here. Perhaps they wanted to escape from the terrible enemy, so they rushed out of the door frantically. However, it was useless because their heads that were riddled with bullets like a hornet's nest had already revealed their fate.

How come even vampires use guns these days? Can't you be a little more traditional?

Fang Zheng looked at the corpse in front of him with a strange expression, not knowing what to say for a moment. Look at how handsome Count Dracula was in "Bram Stoker's Dracula", with transformations, magic, and fog, why are all the characters in modern times using firearms?

But thinking about it carefully, Fang Zheng suddenly realized that he didn't know much about the fighting style of vampires. His understanding of this kind of monster basically came from movies and some materials, which didn't describe the fighting style of vampires, but only described their characteristics and habits.

Maybe it's normal for vampires to have guns?

Shaking his head, putting the thoughts in his mind behind him, Fang Zheng walked into the dark house.

“Da…da…”

Fang Zheng did not deliberately lower his footsteps. He walked in the corridor like a guest invited to a party. Blood and even broken bodies could be seen everywhere. It was obvious that the vampire couple went on a killing spree after entering here, killing their way in through the gate. Not only that...

“Ooooo…!”

Just as Fang Zheng was walking past the restaurant, a low roar was heard and a ghoul jumped out from the side of Fang Zheng. He was dressed like a chef, and the white apron tied around his waist was stained red with blood. The ghoul raised a kitchen knife in his hand and rushed towards Fang Zheng.

But before he could swing the kitchen knife in his hand, the next moment the zombie's head flew backwards with a flash of sword light, and the headless body fell to the ground with a "thump", turning into a cold corpse again.

But this was not the end. On the contrary, the attack seemed to be a signal. Soon, Fang Zheng saw figures slowly appearing from both ends of the corridor, blocking Fang Zheng's way. Judging from their clothes, they should be people from this manor, but now, these people have become corpses. They hold swords, even sticks and iron forks in their hands, and their eyes emit a bloody red glow.

“What a bad taste.”

Looking at the ghouls in front of him, Fang Zheng's face darkened slightly. He could tell that these people were brutally killed before they died. They were not simply killed by others. On the contrary, they were killed for fun. Not only that, after death, their bodies were also desecrated and eventually became what they are now.

In this case, there is only one thing I can do.

"Go on your journey with peace of mind."

Looking at the zombies coming towards him from both sides of the corridor, Fang Zheng closed his eyes, then he raised the greatsword in his right hand and thrust it hard into the ground!

"boom!!"

Bright red, scorching flames erupted from under the floor, spreading out from Fang Zheng to both sides of the corridor like a surging flood. The slow-moving ghouls were devoured by the flames before they could even move, and then turned into charcoal.

And at this moment...

“Aaaaaaaah!!”

Suddenly, a scream erupted from the flames. Hearing the scream, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly. He turned his head and saw a figure running out of the flames in the corridor behind him almost madly, running towards the stairs on the other side in panic.

Looking at the fleeing figure, Fang Zheng sneered, then he drew out his greatsword. As the pitch-black greatsword was pulled out from the ground, the raging flames that had spread out in all directions were "sucked" back into the greatsword at this moment as if time had gone back, and disappeared without a trace.

This was also the skill Fang Zheng had learned after mastering the power of the First Fire. Strictly speaking, in the real world, the burning of the First Fire was not destruction, but devourment. Just like what Fang Zheng had done to Akkad before, when he burned Akkad's body and the power contained in his body, but these powers did not disappear. Instead, they were "transformed" into firewood, which was swallowed by the flames and stored in Fang Zheng's soul.

In other words, the fire in reality is responsible for "mining" and "refining" power into "firewood", while the fire that actually consumes this "firewood" is in Fang Zheng's soul.

More importantly, this flame is completely under Fang Zheng's control, which means... if Fang Zheng doesn't let it go out, then it will never go out. It will keep burning, devouring the power and body of the person attached, turning it into Fang Zheng's firewood... until the target has been squeezed out until not even a drop of essence is left.

“Ahhhhhh!!!”

The black shadow rushed up to the second floor frantically and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on his back. However, it was of no use. The flames did not go out because of the black shadow's rolling. On the contrary, it seemed to burn even more vigorously.

"What's wrong? What happened? Why did you become like this?"

Looking at the disheveled black shadow in front of her, a brown-skinned woman widened her eyes in surprise and couldn't help but ask. Hearing her figure, the black shadow also raised his head - it was a white male with messy curly hair and his outfit made him look like a non-mainstream punk. Originally, this man looked quite handsome, but at this moment his distorted expression completely destroyed the few bits of good looks he had left.

"Damn it, don't ask these questions, bring some water and help me put out the fire on my back!"

Gritting his teeth, the man clenched his hands tightly. He originally thought that the other party was just an ordinary thief or a policeman, but he didn't expect that the young man actually had such power! Damn, could he be the person from the agency those people were talking about? How could they come so quickly?

Seeing the miserable condition of her companion, the brown-skinned woman was also panicked. She hurriedly ran to the next room, got out a glass of water, and then poured it on the man's back.

“Aaaaaaaah!!”

The moment the water touched the man's back, he screamed as if he was splashed with sulfuric acid. Not only that, the flame did not go out, on the contrary, it burned even more fiercely!

At this moment, a voice sounded behind them.

"Vampires can't touch water... Don't you even have common sense?"

"you……!"

Hearing this voice, the man turned around abruptly, then he pulled out the pistol from his back and pointed it at the newcomer. He was confident enough to kill this abominable bastard. After becoming a vampire, the man already knew that he had great power. His reaction ability, vision, and speed were far superior to those of ordinary people!

As long as he pulls the trigger, no one can stand in front of him!

There is no "person".

“Swish!”

What happened?

The man stared blankly at his right hand. The moment he turned around, he felt that his right hand seemed to have suddenly lost its strength. When the man focused his attention on his right hand and used the vampire's unique dark vision to observe, he discovered that his right hand had disappeared.

Only a broken wrist was left.

"Aaaaaaaaaah!!! My hand! My hand!!"

Holding his broken wrist, the man began to wail, but before he could do anything else, the pitch-black sword pierced through his body, and then flames broke out, instantly burning the man to ashes.

"This amount of energy is not even enough to run an electric bicycle for a whole day."

Looking at the ashes in front of him, Fang Zheng frowned, then he looked to the other side and saw the second vampire shivering.

"Well... I hope you can give me a surprise..."

"No!!"

Seeing Fang Zheng walking towards her, the woman screamed in fear, then she turned around, broke the glass with her head, and jumped directly from the second floor.

"Bang!!"

But the woman had just jumped out of the window when there was a gunshot and her head exploded instantly.

Blood mixed with minced meat scattered all over the ground.
