"So did you get everything that you needed?" Haru asked Yun as he approached her. The taxi took the time to set off and drive down the street during the time that it took Haru to walk toward her. Yun looked down at her bags and then back up to Haru's smiling face.
"Yeah. I got my clothes and I picked up some beef to cook for dinner. I hope you don't mind." Yun smiled as she held the bag of food that she had bought from the store on her way back to Haru's house.
"Beef? I don't mind at all. But I hope you don't expect me to cook it. If you leave that to me it will become charred and almost inedible."' Haru laughed. He had to cook food in the field before but most of the time he had to cook meat over an open flame so he never learned how to make something that could actually be classed as food.
"Of course not. You're letting me stay at your house. I can't leave the cooking to you. And honestly, I would like to eat tonight so I will take care of it." Yun mocked him before putting her backpack over her shoulder and standing next to the gate for Haru to open them.
Haru opened the gates and led Yun back inside but he still felt like he was being watched. Before he unlocked the front door he looked over his left shoulder back toward the house where he had just come from to see the old couple still staring out at him.
But standing behind the old couple was the man who had tried to bite Haru. He was clutching his cheek with a small hand towel and had tissue sticking out of his mouth.
The man glared at him with bright red eyes that glowed in the darkness of the room they were all stood within. Haru smiled before opening the door and letting Yun inside. She made her way straight to the kitchen after hanging up her backpack at the front door while Haru sat down in the living room to think.
'If dragons ended up migrating here then it wouldn't be a surprise if a group of vampires came all the way out to the lower realms for easy food. But why is there one living in shanghai? Don't the cultivation association know about this?' Haru thought as he remembered the stories Lao had told him about the three clans and the lesser clans from the upper realm.
Vampires were originally a faction of the human clan but decided to declare Independence from a sense of superiority. The leader of their faction saw regular humans as nothing but a food source so he decided to wage war against them. Unfortunately, he underestimated the cultivators at the top of the human clan and was killed without mercy.
After his death. The vampire faction was declared as traitors and was banished from worlds inhabited by human clansmen. So it was no surprise that they had made their way to the lower realm.
There were fewer cultivators there that had the strength to overpower them so it would make gathering blood from humans a lot easier.
But that brought attention to another issue. Yun was staying over. And she was only a regular human. She wouldn't be able to fight off a vampire attacker if he decided to break in to get revenge so he needed to do something.
Although he knew quite a bit about arrays he didn't know what would be a good choice to keep vampires at bay. After all, they had special powers and some of them even had unique powers that could be used at will. He didn't know anything about the strength of this particular one but he did seem to be quite weak.
"Li Jun. Which array would you recommend to keep people out of my property? I need one to be as strong as possible and can block not only Qi but a vampires power." Haru asked Li jun for help.
"A vampire you say? It would be best just to get rid of the cause and kill it. But if you don't want to do that then you should just use a regular array. Vampires power comes from blood Qi. It's the Qi that flows through the blood of all living things.
It shouldn't be anything to worry about. Vampires are relatively weak anyway. To become stronger, they need to drain a human completely of blood to absorb a good amount of Qi.
So unless you're dealing with a proactive vampire that is draining hundreds of people every day then you don't need to worry about thembreaking through a regular array." Li Jun spread his wisdom on the topic and also reassured Haru during the process.
"So you're meaning to say that a regular area protection array should be good enough to block the strength of a vampire?" Haru asked just to make sure that he didn't misunderstand and would cause more harm by creating a weaker array.
"Yep, It should be more than enough to keep out most intruders in this city. But even if it doesn't work you will still know when it is destroyed so you have time to react." Li Jun let him know and then his voice stopped like he suddenly cut off the transmission between their voices.
"Okay. A simple array it is then." Haru said to himself before going outside to set up an array.
His knowledge was still lacking but the book that he read to learn how to write the language of Goahen had examples of basic arrays and one was very similar to a protection array that he had used to protect Suyin's younger brother so he decided to try that one first to see if it would be enough before setting up the one that he had planned to.
"Hmm… So if I just write this somewhere then it will activate the array immediately?" Haru asked himself before pulling the brush and pot of ink that Li Jun had given to him out from his storage ring and walking the wall at the side of his house so it would be out of sight from anyone that entered from the front gate.
"*Protective guidance from the great starry sky. Hold your strength within these foundations and give way to fortification*" Haru yanked the words he had memorised out from his head and painted them on the side of the wall with the dark red ink.
Suddenly a dark flash of green light shot up into the sky like a beacon before expanding around the building wrapping it within an orb of light. Haru looked at the light for a few seconds before it settled upon the house and then vanished.
"Will this really be strong enough to withstand a powerful attack? It just vanished…" Haru said before walking to the front of the house and putting his hand on the wall next to the front door. He then slowly put more and more strength into his hand.
After a few seconds, he was using his full strength to try to pull one of the bricks out of the wall. But it didn't budge at all. With his full strength, he could easily destroy a house made from concrete and bricks like it was made out of sticks. But just seeing this didn't satisfy him.
He wondered what would happen if he punched the wall. It was good that the house could withstand a slow increase in power but what if it was a quick strike? It would most likely shatter under the stress. Or so he thought.
So to test if his theory was correct he brought his hand up to his chin before standing in an aggressive fighting stance similar to how a kickboxer would stand. He then threw a quick jab toward a single brick on the wall. Yun was still inside and he didn't want to damage the house so he made sure to target a single brick so it wouldn't bring down the entire house.
But as his hand accelerated toward the brick it was stopped. It was like he had punched a cushion. All of the force he put into the punch was depleted before he could hit the brick and when he made contact with the wall a flash of green light shot back at impeccable speed and struck him in the cheek.
The light hit Haru with exactly the same amount of strength that he had used when targeting the wall. But he didn't expect it and wasn't paying attention as the light went underneath his guard and struck him in the face. His head was knocked sideways by the force and his brain rattled against the inside of his head.
"Fuck… What was that?" Haru asked when he regained his balance and looked up at the wall that was unaffected by his punch.
"Did that wall just… Punch me?" Haru asked in shock. He was expecting a defensive array not one that would return the damage against it to the person who attacked it.
Haru brought his hands up to his face before clenching his fists and then gathering Qi in his body. He lifted his right knee up to his waist before twisting his hips and pivoting on his left foot to send a devastating kick to the wall.
His foot hurled through the air, creating a breeze as it ripped its way through the air before striking the corner of the wall with his shin, just above his ankle. A deep rumble shook the ground as his leg hit the wall.
