Chapter 742 - Bravely Pursue the Cornered Enemy

In the night sky, Luke sat in a mini plane.

The modified plane flew ten meters above the ground, and Little Snail steered the plane clear of any danger.

Looking at the darkness in front of him, an old saying floated through Luke’s mind: Bravely pursue the cornered enemy, and do not become like a renowned tyrant[1]!

Tonight, he was going to attack Elsworth’s nest.

Through their investigation, Cole and Hart had confirmed the location of the secret nest.

Luke’s own investigation had also pointed to this area, but it hadn’t been as conclusive as Cole and Hart’s speculation.

In an hour, he would reach the desolate area around Sacramento.

If he was wrong, he would check other suspected locations.

It was just that those suspected locations were in Sacramento’s city center.

Unless necessary, Luke didn’t want to fight in the city center.

If everything happened out in the open, the Elsworth family could only suffer in silence.

It wasn’t like they could announce to the public that their master’s nest had been destroyed.

Like the two hybrid vampires who had been caught tonight, they would never admit that they had any connection to it.

Luke sneered and swiped over his tablet as he prepared for the cleanup operation later.

Fifty minutes later, he put the plane into this inventory, and the cape behind him hardened in the air.

The two drones rose into the air and flew around a stone castle that was overgrown with weeds.

Inside the stone castle in this wilderness, people were running around and moving various items to a convoy in the center.

Looking at the five people who were clearly abnormally warm, Luke knew that he had found the right place.

For five vampires to appear in such a remote place, it could only be the Elsworth family’s nest.

With a thought, the black giant swooped down.

They were talking among themselves.

“Are we really leaving?”

“Don’t even think about having fun. Damn it, they pissed off Batman!”

“Who’s Batman? He’s just a human, our food…”

“Shut up. Don’t you know how many people are paying attention to this guy? If he attracts the attention of those agencies, can you bear that responsibility?”

“Bear it together!” A cold mechanical voice rang out above them.

They reacted quickly and scattered, but the giant shadow had already swept over them.

With two cracks, the two vampires screamed and flew out with their chests caved in.

“Batman!” a vampire shouted in horror.

“Outsiders, you’re guilty!” The mechanical voice was emotionless. It grabbed a vampire who was retreating and threw him to the ground.

Boom!

The man was laid flat, most of his body smashed into the mud.

Luke swiped at his waist and threw out two bat darts.

The spinning shadows intercepted the two fleeing vampires from the sides.

One of the vampires was too slow to react, and half of his leg was cut off by the spinning shadow. He screamed and fell.

The other vampire had barely stopped when a huge shadow covered him and broke his neck.

Bang!

He lost control of his limbs and fell to the ground.

Luke’s blood-red lenses flashed as he looked at the crowd that was charging at him. He flicked the two bat darts that flew back, and they spun out again.

He didn’t stop. He took out more bat darts from his waist and threw them out.

A series of screams rang out, and a group of people who had just surrounded him collapsed. Their legs were all cut.

Luke suddenly raised his head and looked at a shadow. He heard the rumble of an engine.

The next moment, something big broke through the stone wall. It was an armored car.

Luke’s eyes flashed as he charged at the front of the car.

“Activate all support frames. Maximum stress mode.” He pressed his hands against the front of the car.

Support frames shot out from his arms and legs in the shape of a palm to brace against the front of the car and the ground.

Boom!

The rear end of the armored truck jerked.

Luke exerted more strength with his hands and legs, and as he charged forward, he flung the car upward.

The armored truck did a 180-degree flip in the air and flew over his head before it crashed upside-down on the ground.

There was silence.

“The Elsworth family and the lackeys of the outsiders are guilty!” The black giant roared and turned around to kick the side of the armored truck.

The armored truck made an unpleasant screeching sound as it was sent flying seven to eight meters over the ground.

Everybody was gobsmacked for one moment as they looked at this dreadful scene.

“Sir, the support frames have sustained 15% damage. Auxiliary power has been reduced by 32% and the circuits are overheating,” Little Snail reported considerately.

Luke smiled. “Retract the support frames.”

Of course, he wasn’t that strong right now, but with these support frames, he could still unleash attacks that were several times stronger.

Fighting an armored car head-on was just a small test of the auxiliary support version 1.0.

Looking at the dazed people at the scene, he didn’t say anything else.

He had already pronounced judgment on them.

Anyone who heard this should prepare to be crippled.

The black giant wove through the battlefield and broke the legs of more than ten people.

As if they had just woken up from a dream, the rest of them shouted and ran for their lives.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

The vampires and half their lackeys were taken down, and Luke had enough time to clean up the survivors.

He casually let loose the black bat darts, like a swarm of bats leaving their nest, and used their sharp wings to cut each person’s legs.

In the end, the darts flew back into his hands one by one with bloodstained blades.

Luke finally entered the stone castle.

There were more than a hundred people in this secret nest, and only half of them were there.

Following his Sharp Nose, he moved through the stone castle and soon entered a round hall.

The hall had no ceiling, and above them was the starry night sky with a magnificent view.

But this was the source of the evil.

Scanning the people in the hall, Luke sneered.

They were kneeling in a circle around the hall and praying to a strange tree root figure draped in yellow cloth.

A pattern had been carved into the walls around them from top to bottom.

It included carvings of an hourglass and two semicircles.

Dark red blood flowed upward along the carved lines, and the edges glowed with a faint blue light as the blood gathered above the hall.

At the top was a horizontal cross, and the middle was precisely above the tree root figure.

“Blasphemer, receive the descent of the Blood God!” An aged voice reverberated in the large hall.
