Cast

He led an operation to blow up a Japanese military base and killed Yamamoto's father. However, he was also injured during the attack but managed to escape to a nearby village. Yamamoto brought his soldiers to the village to hunt for Fong and started killing civilians. Fong showed up, stopped Yamamoto and engaged him in a one-on-one fight, which lasted until nightfall. Yamamoto's men seized the boy Fuk-sang and used him as a hostage to threaten Fong. Cheung San interrupted the fight and bit Fong, Yamamoto and Fuk-sang, turning them into second generation vampires. Fong survives until the present-day, renames himself "Fong Tin-yau", and works as a policeman in Hong Kong. Fuk-sang lives with him and pretends to be his son. Both of them have not fed on the blood of living humans for the past 60 years and have been drinking expired blood samples from hospitals.
• Joey Meng as Ma Siu-ling, the heiress to the Ma family, a clan of ghostbusters who have dedicated themselves to ridding the world of evil supernatural beings. She earns a living by helping people "clean up" haunted locations and perform exorcisms. Her ancestors had established a rule forbidding her from shedding tears for a man or she will lose her magic powers. Her most powerful skill is a nine-character mantra, which, when chanted, will summon forth a Divine Dragon to destroy any evil being. She starts a romance with Fong Tin-yau.
• * Joey Meng also portrayed a young Ma Dan-na, Ma Siu-ling's grandaunt and predecessor. 60 years ago, she tracked down Cheung San and attempted to destroy him moments before he bit Fong, Yamamoto and Fuk-sang, but he still escaped. After she died, she appears as a "floating ghost" to her grandniece, giving her advice and poking fun at her. She sacrifices herself to restore her grandniece's powers after the latter cried for Fong and lost her abilities.
• Kristy Yang as Wong Jan-jan, Ma Siu-ling's close friend and confidante who works as a teacher in Hong Kong. She falls in love with Fong Tin-yau after their first encounter in Japan. Yamamoto sees her as his deceased wife because of the striking resemblance, and develops a crush on her. After she is mortally wounded, Fong reluctantly bites her to save her life and transforms her into a vampire. Towards the end, Lo Hau captures her and wants to use her a sacrifice to complete a ritual so that he can dominate the universe. Later on, after she is revealed to be a reincarnation of the Heaven Warrior's fiancée, she dies trying to persuade Yamamato to give up on his wicked ambition.

Cheung San interrupted the fight and bit the two men and Fuk-sang, transforming them into second generation vampires. Yamamoto is deeply traumatised by his encounter and behaved oddly after returning to Japan. When his wife died, he sank into despair and was afraid of losing his daughter as well, so he bit her and turned her into a vampire too. He lives until the present-day and becomes the influential boss of a big company in Hong Kong. He intends to turn every human being into a vampire just like him and unleashes his minions to attack people in Hong Kong. Fong, Ma Siu-ling and others combine forces to defeat and destroy him.
