After his fangs came off, the vampire had turned into a beaten dog.

His initially well-groomed hair was hanging loosely. The handsome face he was proud of was covered in wounds and bruises. He touched his upper jaw, and when he discovered his fangs were missing, he probed around on the ground in panic.

His eyes had not recovered from the blindness, and the fangs had dropped a great distance away. Even if he managed to find them, he would not be able to put them back!

Nie Dong, who finally realized that his death was approaching, shuddered. He begged Mo Fan to spare his life!

"I will do anything you ask me to do, I'll give you everything I have, too. Please, spare me, and give me back my fangs… Please, I'm begging you, I won't hurt anyone else, as long as you can let me go..." Nie Dong's whole body was severely burned from the Light Binding Net.

Mo Fan picked up the two fangs he desperately needed, his eyes not showing a hint of mercy.

God knew how many innocent lives the vampire had killed in the city. There was no reason at all to spare his life!

"I'll help you bring an end to this," Mo Fan said, turning around and glancing at Liu Ru.

Liu Ru nodded. She stared at the whining bastard, wanting to witness the vampire's death with her own eyes!

The Rose Flame erupted on Mo Fan's palm, and burned fiercely.

The vampire was losing strength continuously. The Light Binding Net already tortured him greatly, and it went without saying that his body would not be able to endure Mo Fan's extremely hot Rose Flame.

Mo Fan tossed the flame at the vampire. To ensure that the vampire would not come back to life again, Mo Fan cast a succession of Burning Bones, making sure to burn the vampire's body to ashes!

The flames grew stronger, already lighting up the entire street blazing red.

The battle had only lasted for a short period of time. A fire truck had made its way to the scene when it first started, but when the firefighters discovered the flames were the doing of a Magician, they parked the truck a nice safe distance away...

Both the police or the firefighters knew there were Hunters in the city, and of the existence of demon beasts hiding among humans. As such, when a battle between Hunters and demon beasts erupted, the police would evacuate the crowd nearby, and seal the area.

Both Mo Fan and Lingling carried a Hunter License with them, and the latter had also contacted the police prior to coming here, thus the incident did not result in a big panic.

The flames burned vigorously on Nie Dong's body. Any ordinary human would have turned into a pile of ashes by now, but Nie Dong was still struggling and groaning in the fire...

They could see that the vampire's body was undergoing a horrendous transformation in the fire. Jagged wings grew out from his back, while his body began to expand. His claws and limbs turned monstrous, with a long tail waving amid the flames.

The Blood Tribes were split into two categories, one consisting of vampires with human lineage. These vampires looked the same as humans when they were not hunting, and would live among humans while obeying a set of rules to prevent themselves from being discovered by the Hunters and churches. The other kind was known as vampiric monsters!

Vampiric monsters were something that the vampires would turn into when they were overwhelmed by evil after indulging in the pleasure of killing, randomly drinking blood, and taking drugs. They would gradually lose their human lineage, and slowly became evil creatures of darkness. They would reveal their true appearances when their true nature was exposed, turning them into monsters!

Nie Dong's transformation into a monster had proven that the guy had been roaming between the boundaries of a vampire and a vampiric monster. If they had not eliminated the guy in time, he would eventually have turned into a monster, leading to a disastrous event with great casualties, as vampiric monsters were mindless killing machines!

Nie Dong, whose appearance had changed beyond recognition, struggled wildly in the flames. The firefighters who were driving the trucks immediately backed away after seeing this.

They were ordinary humans after all, they would not dare to face such a terrifying demon beast!

"Still putting up a deathbed struggle?" Mo Fan observed coldly.

The flames burned even hotter under Mo Fan's control, even containing the Rupture effect. The monster which Nie Dong had turned into was disintegrating in the rupturing flames...

His arms fell off and fell to ashes. His head exploded and more sparks erupted. His body and limbs were scorched by the flames, which could not endure any further.

Finally, Nie Dong collapsed to the ground!

The fire had already spread to half of the street when the terrifying monster finally let out its final breath. The strong evil presence slowly dissipated among the blazing flames.

"Mo Fan, watch out for his soul," reminded Lingling.

"Don't worry, I've got the best tool possible to deal with a dead soul!" responded Mo Fan grimly.

Shortly after the vampire's death, a dark red soul like a little firefly slowly rose up from the flames...

After losing its flesh, the vampire's soul was just a lone spirit without any power. However, Mo Fan's heart was swamped with joy when he discovered the soul.

He was overjoyed; he had finally secured another complete Warrior-level Soul Essence!

Since capturing the Soul Essence of the Mother Scale Skin Phantom, Mo Fan had not obtained any Warrior-level Soul Essence. Even when he was massacring the demon beasts as the Deathbringer of Dongting Lake in the past, the chance of finding a Warrior-level Soul Essence was too slim. The vampires were a somewhat special kind of Warrior-level creature, thus the drop rate of a Soul Essence was significantly higher than that of ordinary demon beasts.

The Soul Essence of the Mother Scale Skin Phantom was sold at a crazy price, and the vampire's Soul Essence had even better quality. He was going to be rich again!

However, Mo Fan found it strange that the Soul Essence was dark red in color...

In the past, the souls that Mo Fan encountered had more of a dark green glow, both humans and demon beasts. The light was a unique trait of the souls, but it was his first time seeing a dark red glow like Nie Dong's soul, and wondered why was that the case...

"Wait!" Lingling stopped Mo Fan all of a sudden.

After the battle came to an end, Lingling seemed worn out and was close to falling asleep.

After the quest was completed, she could finally go home to get the rest she deserved. She was not particularly interested in vampires. She was a Hunter Master after all, thus she had seen all kinds of weird monsters before...

However, when Mo Fan was about to retrieve Nie Dong's unique soul, Lingling opened her eyes wide. Her limpid pupils flickered with irresistible anger!

Her body slightly shuddered, as if she had found the thing she had always been looking for. Apart from the unexpected anger, her face was surprisingly filled with a compulsive excitement too!

Her fierce, compelling excitement was something nobody expected to appear on her adorable face...
