He was about 1.9 Meters tall, with a slender and muscular build, the lines of his muscles barely visible beneath his tight-fitting priest's robes, exuding an evil power. Most terrifying of all was a distinct bite mark on his neck, as if bitten through by some powerful creature, leaving an indelible mark. Whenever his lips parted slightly, the bite mark became more pronounced, as if reminding us that he was once an ordinary mortal, until he was devoured by the curse of vampires. "Could this be a vampire!" I muttered to myself, the fire talisman in my hand burning even more fiercely, trying to dispel this evil aura. The others reacted quickly as well. Jia Zhenhai swiftly drew his pistol, aimed it at the vampire, and shouted in a trembling voice, "Don't move! I'll shoot if you move again!" However, the vampire seemed utterly fearless of human weapons; a wicked smile curled at the corners of his mouth, and a cunning glint flashed in his eyes. He slowly raised his hands, his ten fingers long and sharp, as if ready to tear apart his prey at any moment. A tense atmosphere, as if a life-or-death struggle was about to erupt, filled the air.
