Chapter 119: The Holy Men Have Arrived

~14 min read 2,605 words

Several punks ran off clutching their faces, and He Fenni asked anxiously, "What do we do now?"

Zhang Wei frowned and said, "Jin Maiji!"

Jin Maiji hurried over and said, "Consultant Zhang, what is it?"

Zhang Wei immediately said, "You and Meng Chao take some men and follow those punks right now; do whatever you want with them afterward."

Jin Maiji nodded and said, "I understand."

He immediately set off, called for Meng Chao, and left the nightclub.

Zhang Wei sat down beside He Fenni and said, "I'll just sit here."

Lin Jiajun, Miao Zhiwei, and the others also sat at a nearby bar counter.

They waited for a long time without seeing anyone come to chat them up, but conversely, several Westerners not far away had beautiful women approaching them.

Zhang Wei immediately gave the others a look, and when the rest looked over, they saw that among the women flirting with the Westerners were female vampires.

He Fenni was about to speak, but Zhang Wei immediately signaled for her to be quiet.

Soon after, several Westerners left the nightclub with the women who had approached them, and Zhang Wei immediately got up to follow.

Very quickly, they followed the people into a small alley.

The white-collar Westerner was hugging and kissing the girl, completely failing to notice that the girl had bared her fangs.

"Vampire!"

Zhang Wei shouted loudly, immediately drew his. 38, and yelled, "Surrender immediately!"

The Westerner was startled, and before he could react, the female vampire bit directly into the Westerner's neck, using him as a human shield.

Zhang Wei aimed a few times, only to find there was absolutely no angle to shoot.

Fortunately, Lin Jiajun and the others arrived and helped block off the alley.

The female vampire injected toxin into the Westerner, then tilted her head back and shrieked.

Zhang Wei said in surprise, "Oh no, she's summoning her companions, everyone be careful!"

Sure enough, within just a few seconds, other vampires appeared on the rooftops on both sides of the alley.

"Open fire!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The others immediately used their. 38s to fire at the vampires above.

But the vampires were very fast; before the bullets could even reach them, they had already flown away.

The female vampire cornered by Zhang Wei was also taken away by her companions.

Zhang Wei immediately said to Lin Jiajun, "You all watch here, I'm going to chase them."

Zhang Wei immediately ran out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Miao Zhiwei said in surprise, "So Senior Brother's speed is this fast; no wonder he told us to stay behind."

Actually, what they didn't know was that Zhang Wei had applied a Wind-Riding Talisman to himself, which had increased his speed.

Zhang Wei followed closely behind the vampires flying back and forth on the rooftops, and soon, he chased them to a relatively remote area.

A vampire stopped and shouted, "Easterner, if you keep chasing, we won't be so polite!"

Zhang Wei didn't say a word and fired at the vampire, but the vampire dodged the bullet with ease.

The vampire let out a cry, waved both hands, and a pile of stones rose from the ground and smashed toward Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei hurriedly dodged, and those stones punched a bunch of small holes directly into the ground.

The other vampires saw that they had attacked the Easterner, but that very powerful Eastern sorcerer had not yet made a move.

A vampire immediately said, "He isn't being protected by that Eastern sorcerer!"

"Everyone attack together, kill him!"

Several vampires immediately flew in from all directions, surrounding Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei hurriedly took out a silver-plated dagger, held a Eight Trigrams mirror in his other hand, and stood ready.

But the next second, a vampire looked behind Zhang Wei and said with a tone of disgust, "I smell a disgusting scent."

Out of the darkness, a woman walked out and said in a delicate voice, "You demons of hell, accept the judgment of the Lord!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, a man walked out behind her; the man had wavy blonde hair, deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and was just a little bit less handsome than Zhang Wei.

He immediately said, "Friend, leave the vampire business to us; we are holy men from the church, specializing in purging these demons."

The woman on the side didn't wait for Zhang Wei to reply; she drank a mouthful of holy water and then drew her blade and charged directly at a vampire.

The vampire hissed and became entangled in a fight with the woman.

Morgan shouted loudly, "Danielle, don't be impulsive!"

Having said that, he also drank holy water, drew his blade, and assisted Danielle.

Zhang Wei was somewhat bewildered; so there was such a thing as holy men in this West.

He immediately put away the silver-plated dagger; in a scene like this, he had to show off some Daoist arts.

Zhang Wei immediately bit his index finger and smeared the blood onto the Eight Trigrams mirror.

Meanwhile, the female vampire not far away said, "What a fragrant scent, let me have a taste!"

The female vampire charged directly at Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei immediately pointed the Eight Trigrams mirror at the flying vampire and shouted, "Command!"

A golden light shot out, striking the female vampire directly and knocking her flying.

The female vampire shrieked, her abdomen was punched right through, and the tissue at the wound was still being corroded by the golden light.

Her companion was somewhat surprised; his expression changed drastically, and he immediately said, "Attack together, this Eastern sorcerer is not simple!"

The remaining five vampires charged directly at Zhang Wei from all sides.

Zhang Wei's expression turned grave; he immediately took out five Divine Fire Talismans, threw them out, and shouted, "Divine Fire, Command!"

"Whoosh!"

The five Divine Fire Talismans exploded like fireballs, and flames instantly filled the air; the few vampires that flew over were all scorched by the fire, hurriedly landing and retreating to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

Zhang Wei took the opportunity to put some distance between them, then rushed toward the nearest vampire; taking advantage of the moment he was extinguishing the flames on his body, he took out a Coin Sword, consecrated it directly with a Eight Trigrams Mirror, and immediately threw it out.

The Coin Sword floated in mid-air and flew toward the vampire; the vampire was greatly alarmed and hurriedly dodged, but the Coin Sword pursued relentlessly.

Zhang Wei seized the chance to take out the Eight Trigrams Mirror and shine it at the fleeing vampire; the vampire, not paying attention, was hit by the golden light on his calf, let out a cry of pain, slowed down, and was struck directly by the Coin Sword.

However, the kill Zhang Wei had imagined did not occur; the Coin Sword had no effect when it hit the vampire.

That vampire was also startled, but discovered that when the Coin Sword collided with his body, other than a bit of physical pain, he felt nothing else.

He was so embarrassed he became angry, slapped the Coin Sword to the ground, and the Coin Sword instantly scattered everywhere.

Zhang Wei had no time to feel heartache for his Coin Sword; he hurriedly took out a divine talisman and threw it at the vampire.

This time, not only did the vampire dodge, but he instead spouted nonsense: "Eastern spells are useless against me, hahaha!"

"Boom-crack-crack-crack."

A bolt of lightning appeared and struck the vampire, leaving his whole body paralyzed and unable to move.

Zhang Wei seized the timing, and a golden light from the Eight Trigrams Mirror struck the vampire's heart, causing the heart to burn directly into ash.

"Ah!"

The vampire let out a miserable scream, fell to the ground, and in the next second, turned into a pile of ashes.

On the other side, Morgan and Danielle attacked together and finished off a vampire.

Of the original six vampires, two were killed, one was heavily injured, and the remaining three, seeing the situation was unfavorable, immediately fled with the heavily injured female vampire.

Danielle still wanted to pursue, but the effect of the holy water was weakening, so she could only stop her steps.

The cold and glamorous Danielle looked at Zhang Wei to the side and asked suspiciously: "Why would your magical artifact have an effect on a vampire?"

Morgan hurriedly explained: "Friend, Danielle is just curious, she doesn't mean to ask for your secrets."

Morgan hurriedly whispered in Danielle's ear: "Danielle, these Eastern sorcerers all have very eccentric tempers."

Zhang Wei took a look at the beautiful Danielle; this girl was a typical Western beauty, with long, dark, and shiny hair, but deep eye sockets and a prominent nose; her appearance looked very cold and glamorous, and coupled with those long legs, she was purely the 'ice queen' type.

He explained: "This is a defensive magical artifact my ancestors gave me; I am a consultant for the Ghost-Catching Unit, responsible for this vampire case."

Morgan said in surprise: "There is actually a Ghost-Catching Unit in Hong Kong?"

Zhang Wei said with some surprise: "Did you just arrive in Hong Kong?"

Morgan nodded and said: "That's right, we saw the news that reporters reported vampires appearing in Hong Kong, so the Holy See sent us to check the situation."

Zhang Wei laughed: "So that's how it is; it's because of the previous events that the Governor established the Ghost-Catching Unit specifically to deal with these."

"We don't just deal with Eastern ghosts and monsters; we also handle Western vampires, werewolves, and the like."

Danielle said somewhat haughtily: "You can't deal with vampires."

Zhang Wei immediately pointed the Eight Trigrams Mirror at Danielle and laughed: "But I can solve vampires."

Danielle said somewhat unconvinced: "We are the professionals; this kind of thing should be left to us holy servants to do."

Zhang Wei laughed: "Sorry, you have no law enforcement authority here."

Danielle was very angry and immediately looked at Morgan; Morgan immediately said: "Actually, everyone is doing it for the people, so we won't delay the officer in handling things."

Having said that, Morgan pulled Danielle away.

Danielle said indignantly: "Detestable Eastern sorcerer! Morgan, eliminating vampires is our duty; if we let them wipe out the vampires, it is our dereliction of duty!"

Morgan nodded hurriedly: "I know, Miss Danielle, I will speak with Baron James about it."

Danielle said with some disgust: "You communicate with James; I don't want to meet him."

Morgan hurriedly bowed and said: "Rest assured, Miss Danielle, leaving it to me will definitely be no problem."

Danielle nodded slightly and said: "Very well, after the matter is settled, come to St. John's Cathedral to find me."

Morgan nodded: "As you command, Miss Danielle."

Early the next morning, Hu Xin kept a straight face, looked at Lin Jiajun and the other members of the Ghost-Catching Unit, and shouted: "The Governor is very dissatisfied with last night's events! Why were there still victims!"

Zhang Wei hurriedly explained: "Sir, regarding this matter, it is mainly because our Ghost-Catching Unit is in its early stages, lacking personnel and insufficient training. This cannot be blamed entirely on us."

Hu Xin found it difficult to speak harshly to Zhang Wei; he frowned and said: "Consultant Zhang, the Governor is very angry this time; you don't know, he said the Holy See headquarters sent two priests to help us, and they will arrive today."

Zhang Wei's heart skipped a beat; it wouldn't be Morgan and Danielle whom he met last night, would it?

Just as Zhang Wei thought, Morgan and Danielle also became consultants for the Ghost-Catching Unit, and there was also a team of foreigners incorporated into the Ghost-Catching Unit.

Danielle came to Zhang Wei with her head held high and said: "Officer Hu, the Governor should have told you that the vampire case is to be handed over to our Group B."

Hu Xin hurriedly said: "Yes, the Governor has already given instructions regarding this matter."

He immediately looked at Jin Maiji and shouted: "Jin Maiji, hurry up and hand over all the files and documents of the vampire case to Consultant Danielle!"

Jin Maiji hurriedly saluted: "Yes, sir!"

Jin Maiji saw that Danielle was a great beauty and immediately beamed with joy, but before he could get close, Morgan immediately stepped forward and said: "You can just hand them to me."

Jin Maiji immediately straightened his face and said: "Yes, sir."

Danielle looked at Zhang Wei and laughed: "Consultant Zhang, you all just be responsible for catching ghosts."

Zhang Wei frowned slightly; this woman is really petty; it's best she doesn't fall into my hands—if she falls into my hands, I'll... hehehe.

Zhang Wei coughed, withdrew his thoughts, looked at Hu Xin, and said: "Sir, since there is no need to investigate the vampire case anymore, let us continue training."

Hu Xin nodded: "Mm, continue training."

Since Danielle and the others moved into the camp with a team of foreigners, competition unfolded between the two groups, and strangely, the vampires had been much quieter lately, with no more victims appearing.

However, Zhang Wei didn't pay much attention to this; he was currently only focused on two things: one was the two female ghosts in the camp, and the other was urging the team members to quickly get started with Daoist arts.

Because Danielle brought foreigners to move in, a cook was also arranged in this camp, and Zhang Wei and the others finally didn't have to cook for themselves.

In the canteen, Zhang Wei saw Danielle and Morgan walking over, so he stood up and walked in front of them.

Danielle frowned: "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Wei immediately said: "Don't misunderstand, I just want to remind you that there are two fierce ghosts in this camp; these are Eastern ghosts and monsters, you must be careful."

Danielle chuckled, "You needn't trouble yourself with that; the Heavenly Father's holy water can eradicate all evil spirits!"

Zhang Wei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fine, I've already warned you anyway, suit yourselves."

After he finished speaking, he returned to his seat to eat.

Morgan brought Danielle a serving of Western food and said softly, "Miss Danielle, I think we should take this Consultant Zhang's advice seriously."

"I have already received intelligence that this Consultant Zhang is a disciple of the Maoshan Sect of Eastern Daoism, and he has an ancestor named Zhang Cheng."

Danielle's gaze sharpened as she said, "Zhang Cheng, that legendary Eastern sorcerer? So he is a descendant of Zhang Cheng?"

Morgan shook his head and said, "I don't know, the intelligence didn't specify. And most importantly, Zhang Cheng is not dead; he is on Lamma Island."

Danielle said with some surprise, "Then he must be seventy or eighty years old by now; I wonder if he still has the strength he had back then?"

Morgan shook his head and said, "Miss Danielle, don't even think about provoking such an old monster. Lamma Island is a forbidden zone for mages; no one can get near it."

Danielle said somewhat unconvinced, "Is it impossible even for the Archbishop?"

Morgan shook his head and said, "Archbishop Anthony, who performed meritorious service in Hong Kong back then, was severely injured and forced to return to the Holy See to recuperate. The family speculates that it was likely Zhang Cheng who wounded him."

Danielle glanced at Zhang Wei and said, "Then I must not lose to Zhang Wei."
