Fortunately, Uncle Jiu reacted in time, blocking the vampire's fangs with his peach wood sword, thus saving Ah Wei.
"Ouch, I almost died. Thank you, Uncle-Master, for your help."
The vampire, having bitten into the peach wood sword dipped in garlic juice, wore a pained expression.
The creature stumbled back several paces, looking warily at the peach wood sword in Uncle Jiu's hand.
"Junior Brother, I'm here to assist you!"
Mao Xiaofang produced a wooden cross and charged directly at the vampire.
Seeing the cross, the vampire recoiled in fear, retreating several steps until it was cornered against the wall.
"Let's see how you escape now. No foreign devil can evade Mao Xiaofang's pursuit."
Before the vampire could savor its moment, it flicked its cape, obscuring its face, and shifted into zombie form, lunging at Mao Xiaofang.
Mao Xiaofang was stunned by the vampire's transformation.
"What's going on? Can foreign devils do this?"
"Senior Brother, be careful!"
Ah Wei fired several shots at the vampire, but strangely, the garlic-infused bullets had no effect.
The vampire reached Mao Xiaofang and, in its zombie form, destroyed the wooden cross he held.
Uncle Jiu raised his peach wood sword and engaged the vampire in combat.
The garlic on the peach wood sword was effective against both vampires and zombies, a true fusion of East and West, a bane to vampires.
"You two fools, it can switch between zombie and vampire forms at will."
"You can use Taoist magic, and the other can use garlic and the cross."
Hearing Shi Jian's words, Mao Xiaofang exchanged a glance with Ah Wei.
He unsheathed his Taiqing whisk and struck the vampire.
The creature let out a pained howl and reverted to its vampire form.
Ah Wei seized the opportunity to fire at the vampire as it returned to its original state.
However, the power of garlic was limited and could not inflict fatal damage on the vampire.
"Garlic isn't doing much damage to this vampire. Does anyone else have a cross?"
Brother Wu, who had been hiding, rushed forward with a cross, shouting, "Devil, the Lord is here, do not presume!"
Upon seeing the cross in Brother Wu's hand, the vampire reverted to its zombie form.
After destroying the cross, it shifted back into its vampire form.
Only Uncle Jiu and Shi Jian could pose a threat to the zombie at this point.
However, the peach wood sword's power was weak, inflicting little damage on the vampire.
"What do we do? This vampire is too strong, and we've tried everything."
"Junior Brother, use special ammunition. Alternate between garlic and black dog's blood. Let's see what forms you can transform into."
Ah Wei's eyes lit up with understanding, and he pulled out various bullet magazines from his pockets.
If the vampire dared to shift into zombie form, he would use ink-rope bullets and virgin boy's urine bullets.
If it remained a vampire, he would counter with garlic bullets.
"Transform all you want, let's see how you fare now."
Ah Wei unleashed a barrage of gunfire at the vampire, as if he were wielding an automatic rifle.
But the vampire was not foolish. Seeing the garlic bullets, it immediately transformed into its zombie form.
"I'll wait for you to become a zombie, and then I'll give you a taste of something different."
Ah Wei swapped the garlic bullet magazine for one loaded with virgin boy's urine bullets.
The vampire, mistaking them for garlic bullets, paid them no mind and hopped towards Ah Wei.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Several shots rang out, creating bullet holes in the vampire.
The virgin boy's urine bullets penetrated the vampire's defenses, sending it flying backward near the church, letting out continuous shrieks.
"A good opportunity!"
Uncle Jiu and Mao Xiaofang brandished their peach wood swords and Taiqing whisks, attacking the vampire.
However, the vampire reacted quickly, flying to the roof of the church and hanging from the chandelier like a bat.
"I almost forgot, I still have lightning talismans."
Mao Xiaofang produced several lightning talismans and threw them at the vampire on the chandelier.
Moments later, explosions of lightning echoed through the church.
The vampire, injured by the lightning talismans, lay motionless on the ground.
"No matter how skilled your kung fu, you fear lightning!"
Mao Xiaofang looked triumphantly at the lightning talismans in his hand, surprised that such a low-level lightning spell could affect a vampire.
"Still pretending to be dead? Let me show you the power of lightning magic again."
He produced a peach wood sword, affixed a lightning talisman to it, chanted a few incantations, and the talisman ignited.
Instantly, the peach wood sword was infused with crackling blue and white lightning.
"Master Daoist, wait. I have something here that can help you against this demon."
Brother Wu approached Mao Xiaofang and sprinkled holy water onto the peach wood sword.
The holy water, combined with the lightning talisman, made the peach wood sword emit a blue glow with swirling blue and white lightning.
"This is Christian holy water. Devils fear this the most."
The vampire lying on the ground sensed the danger and scrambled to its feet, looking at the peach wood sword in Mao Xiaofang's hand with terror.
Besides crosses, vampires also feared holy water and sunlight.
Contact with either of these could cause a vampire to be utterly destroyed.
"Now, let's see what form you can shift into."
Mao Xiaofang raised his laser sword—no, his peach wood sword—and charged at the vampire.
The vampire attempted to defend itself by shifting into zombie form.
However, with the peach wood sword empowered by the lightning talisman, its zombie form was useless and could not withstand the attack.
Just then, a believer who had been bitten and killed by the vampire earlier underwent a posthumous transformation, intending to shield Mao Xiaofang's attack from the vampire king.
"Oh no, this is bad!"
Uncle Jiu rushed to the newly transformed corpse and plunged his peach wood sword, still coated with garlic juice, into its body.
The transformed believer let out a wail before collapsing.
Meanwhile, Mao Xiaofang controlled his peach wood sword and thrust it into the vampire king's body.
A piercing shriek erupted, shattering all the glass in the church.
Qiusheng, Wencai, three foreigners, Ah Wei, Brother Wu, and two believers crouched down, covering their ears to withstand the intense sonic wave.
"This vampire has such a loud roar, I can barely stand it."
Ah Wei grimaced in pain, wanting to draw his pistol and shoot the vampire in the mouth.
After a few seconds, an explosion sounded, and the vampire's body shattered into several pieces.
Unlike zombies, vampires did not possess regenerative abilities, so this time, it was truly finished.
"Finally, it's quiet. If it had screamed for a few more minutes, my ears would have gone deaf."
