Chapter 196: Minor Harm, Major Humiliation

Fang Cheng hadn’t expected his Castration Kick – such a lethal technique – to fail against this wild boar.

Still, trying such cheap tricks against him was pure naivety.

Blood pooled in his hand as Fang Cheng slashed downward, severing his own trapped thigh without hesitation.

Otsutai’s fist smashed into empty air yet again.

Fang Cheng had already reappeared behind the boar-like man.

“I swore I’d never use this again – you asked for it!”

Last time he’d employed this move against that butt-hearted vampire, the memory alone had sickened him for weeks.

Though he’d vowed never to resort to such dirty tactics again, here he was breaking that promise.

But rumors claimed the Iron Egg Skill’s weakness lay at the rear – this strike should work.

Otsutai’s punching stance left him leaning forward, posterior protruding.

Fang Cheng knelt behind him, blood swirling into a spinning drill bit in his palm. He lunged forward: “Try my Diamond Breaker!”

The drill struck true – then clanged against iron-hard flesh.

Fang Cheng: (“▔□▔)↗

Seriously? First they learn to retract their junk, now buttocks become invulnerable too?

This defied all logic.

Otsutai’s backside stung, revealing his opponent’s attack target.

Though causing minimal harm, the psychological damage cut deep.

“You filthy degenerate!”

The enraged boar-man snatched up a fallen pillar, whirling it like a human-powered windmill.

Fang Cheng backflipped out of range, watching his foe’s impotent fury.

“Fang Cheng!!”

A new shriek pierced the air – part widow’s wail, part beast’s roar.

The reassembling Nishitani Kyohei burst naked from the villa, eyes pitch-black, jaws split wide beneath his ears to expose saliva-dripping fangs.

Bulging veins crisscrossed his pale skin, giving him the appearance of a peeled tea egg.

Nishitani had entered the Crazed Blood state – every vampire’s primal ability.

When Fang Cheng used this power, his looks and aura intensified at minimal mental cost.

Other vampires? Their beauty crumbled as sanity fled, leaving only monsters.

Fang Cheng’s eyes drifted downward as he studied the naked vampire, fingers twitching with experimental interest.

His failed attacks against Otsutai left him itching for payback. Perhaps this test subject would prove more… responsive.

Nishitani Kyohei seemed provoked by Fang Cheng’s gaze, roaring as blood sprayed from his veins. The crimson liquid pooled on the ground, forming blood wolves, serpents, and bats that charged like bargain-bin zoo creatures.

These living bombs made Fang Cheng instinctively retreat, but Otsutai blocked his path with a massive pillar. “Running’s not an option!” The brute whirled the pillar like a staff, cutting off escape routes. Meanwhile, the blood creatures swelled and detonated.

Consumed by Crazed Blood, Nishitani Kyohei had lost all reason – even attacking Otsutai. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Artillery-like explosions shook the courtyard.

Before the blasts subsided, a shredded Fang Cheng emerged. His wounds knitted shut as the Blood Combat Suit reformed, thicker around vital areas. Becoming a crimson blur, he lunged at Nishitani Kyohei.

Enhanced by Crazed Blood, the vampire barely tracked Fang Cheng’s movements. Instead of retreating, Nishitani Kyohei met the assault with elongated claws. “FANG CHENG!!”

“Stop squawking!” Fang Cheng evaded the wild swipe, delivering invisible strikes to Nishitani’s head, chest, and gut. Their power difference resembled a max-level assassin butchering a novice. A final kick crushed Nishitani’s groin.

The vampire nearly launched airborne, but detonated himself at the last moment. KABOOM! Fiery energy shredded the surroundings. Though warned by Heart Awareness, Fang Cheng couldn’t escape the blast radius.

Nishitani’s mediocre skills paled against his devastating Blood Explosion. Paired with vampire immortality, he became a walking demolition. When flames cleared, a mangled corpse lay smoking – Fang Cheng’s limbs twisted, combat suit in tatters.

He’d underestimated the Crazed Blood-enhanced blast. As dust settled, Nishitani revived while Otsutai emerged wounded but alive. Both stared at Fang Cheng’s remains, relief flooding their faces.

“Hey Aoki! Your revenge is done! Get lost already!” Nishitani hammered his skull, trying to dislodge Aoki Yusuke’s lingering thoughts. “Why cling after I died so many-?”

“Quiet!” Otsutai barked. Following his comrade’s gaze, Nishitani froze.

Fang Cheng sat upright, watching the madness with amusement. “Y-you… vampire!” Nishitani trembled. Blood control suggested it before, but resurrection confirmed it.

Otsutai’s grim expression mirrored Nishitani’s dread. This foe required suicide tactics to defeat once – how could they fight an immortal?

“Impossible!” Nishitani clawed his scalp. “Vampires kill each other! You should be dead!”

Fang Cheng smirked. “Guess.”
