"You, come here!"

Edward crooked his finger at Ren Songfei. Ren Songfei immediately walked over like a little dog.

Then he ordered Chen Xiao, "You, come with me!"

Although he vowed to kill Chen Xiao, he actually wouldn't do it.

Because that scene at the press conference was a desperate gamble, and the failure led to a disaster.

And as the culprit of this disaster, he needed to take responsibility.

So he thought about taking these two Huaxia people back to make up for his mistakes.

One was a high-ranking official from the Evil Exorcism Division, and the other was a young man who was knowledgeable about vampires and had immense strength.

He hoped that after returning, the old guys could focus their energy on these two people, so that he himself would suffer less punishment.

Edward walked towards the door of the rooftop, Chen Xiao and Ren Songfei obediently following behind.

Just as Edward opened the door, a light, nonchalant voice suddenly sounded, "Forty-eight seconds..."

Edward was stunned, "What forty-eight seconds?"

"The longest you can control me is forty-eight seconds!"

Chen Xiao said calmly.

Edward was shocked and looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief.

"You, you, you... the hypnosis is ineffective? How is this possible?"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "Why is it impossible? I've already figured it out. Your so-called hypnosis is just a mental attack. And you vampires, apart from your steel-like bodies and razor-sharp fangs and claws, your mental strength is your greatest reliance. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for you to get those secular geniuses to work for you."

A look of horror appeared in Edward's eyes, "How did you know this?"

"Personal experience. Otherwise, do you think I would fall for your tricks?"

Chen Xiao sneered.

It turned out that he had deliberately allowed Edward to control him.

Otherwise, how could he not have taken precautions in advance, knowing that Edward was good at hypnosis?

He just wanted to see how long it would take him to break free from the hypnosis.

And the fact proved that the time required for this process was forty-eight seconds!

"Deliberately let it happen?"

Edward was slightly stunned, then his eyes widened with rage, "Stop bragging! How did you know I wouldn't kill you during that time?"

Chen Xiao chuckled, "What do you think you are? Do I need to explain to you?"

"What an arrogant kid! If I can control you once, I can control you a second time, unless you dig out your own eyeballs!"

As he spoke, Edward's eyes suddenly widened, and a blue light flashed in his eyes, pointing directly at Chen Xiao's eyes.

At this moment, a dark red light suddenly flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes...

The blue light hit the dark red light and instantly bounced back into Edward's eyes.

In an instant, Edward's eyes became dull and his gaze became sluggish.

"Is this your hypnosis? It seems it's nothing more than that."

Chen Xiao said calmly.

He had reflected Edward's hypnosis back onto Edward himself.

The reason why Chen Xiao dared to accept the move just now was because he had Divine Sense.

To some extent, Chen Xiao's Divine Sense could act as an out-of-body experience.

So even though his body was controlled by Edward's hypnosis, his Divine Sense was not affected at all.

At this time, Chen Xiao also understood what made vampires so powerful.

The so-called mental attack relies on a powerful soul force.

Vampires often live in this world for hundreds or thousands of years, and their soul force can be said to be very strong.

And this explained why the previous Ava and Schmidt did not use hypnosis.

Obviously, they had not been vampires long enough and did not have a strong enough soul force.

Chen Xiao's own soul force was not very strong, but he possessed Divine Sense, which was almost equivalent to a physical entity formed by soul force.

It was just that one was innate and the other was acquired through cultivation.

So Chen Xiao could be said to be crushing the vampire race in all aspects... Your strength and speed are not as good as mine, and your greatest reliance, soul force, is still not as good as mine!

But for ordinary martial artists or cultivators, the vampire race was a nightmare.

Although the vampire race did not have a cultivation system and did not have any spiritual energy or internal energy in their bodies, they were already invincible with their tyrannical physical bodies and the soul force cultivated over long years.

Those ordinary martial artists and cultivators would probably have a hard time avoiding the hypnosis of the vampire race unless they gouged out their own eyeballs.

Of course, powerful beings who had cultivated a nascent soul could also resist the mental attacks of the vampire race... but nascent soul cultivators were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in this world. Chen Xiao had not encountered one so far.

But then again, vampires of Edward's level were probably not common.

After all, he was a duke of the Fugura family, and those who could become dukes were definitely not common goods.

In any case, Chen Xiao had now thoroughly studied the vampire species and believed that the vampire race posed no threat to him.

It was said that werewolves restrained vampires, but Chen Xiao felt that he restrained vampires even more than werewolves.

"This matter can finally come to an end."

Chen Xiao looked at Edward and said calmly.

Then he activated the Quenching Fire Kirin Eyes, and a ball of flames burned towards Edward...

In the flames, Edward lasted for more than half an hour before he completely turned into ashes.

"Damn, it seems I still underestimated this bloodsucker. With this physical strength, if I hadn't hypnotized him beforehand, it would have been really difficult to deal with him!"

After burning Edward to ashes, Chen Xiao was also exhausted and panting, and most of the spiritual energy in his body was consumed.

This was the first time Chen Xiao had seen a creature that could withstand his flames for so long!

With Edward's death, his control over Ren Songfei was also lifted.

Ren Songfei stood there with a dazed look, "Why am I here? Eh? Chen Xiao, why are you here too?"

Then he suddenly remembered what had happened before he was controlled, and said nervously, "That's not good, Chen Xiao. The Eight Great Locks were useless against Edward, and he escaped. We need to find him quickly, or things will be terrible!"

Chen Xiao said calmly, "There's no need to look for him. I've already found him, but I'm afraid you won't recognize him anymore!"

"How is that possible? Even if he turns into ashes, I can still recognize him!"

Ren Songfei said with gritted teeth.

Although he didn't remember exactly what happened, he vaguely felt that Edward had humiliated him.

"Oh? That's great. He's right here..."

Chen Xiao said expressionlessly, pointing to the pile of ashes on the ground.
