Hello, Daredevil. My name is Chun-Li.
Holy shit, that was way too brutal!
All of them were seasoned schemers, and they understood Fire Cloud Evil God's purpose in making a move almost instantly.
That was it—he was warning them, putting them in their place.
He wanted them to focus on their work and stop playing little tricks behind his back.
Otherwise, the vampire's miserable fate before them would be their own future.
Having grasped the meaning behind it, they watched the pitiful vampire gradually turn into a dried corpse. The few of them hurriedly pounded their chests and swore to the heavens at the top of their lungs, making promise after promise.
"We will certainly brave fire and water for Lord Fire Cloud Evil God! Even if we are crushed to pieces, we will do our utmost to capture vampires for you!"
Holding the vampire's corpse in one hand, Fire Cloud Evil God was slightly taken aback, unsure why they had become so excited.
Really, was it easy for him to reveal certain bits of intelligence in a reasonable manner just to earn some emotional points?
"Ahem."
A faint blush appeared on his cheeks. Tossing aside the vampire in his hand, Fire Cloud Evil God clasped his hands behind his back and coughed twice pretentiously.
Were these people poisoned or something?
They were praising him so fiercely that he almost felt embarrassed!
What blush? Was there one?
Don't ask. If you did, it was merely a physiological reaction caused by excessive life force flooding into his body in a short time.
"My qi has increased considerably, and my body has grown stronger too."
It truly deserved to be one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills from Under One Person—the Six Treasury Immortal Thieves.
Despite such an elegant name, once one abandoned all bottom lines and morality, the power it displayed was no less than the most evil demonic arts.
"Alright, you all know your mission. Get out now."
He waved a hand, dismissing them.
They did not dare delay. They hurriedly climbed to their feet, bowed, and turned to leave.
They had only taken a few steps when an icy voice came from behind them.
"Oh, right. Once you get outside, deal with that little rat eavesdropping as well."
[Emotional Points from Matt Murdock +243]
Madame Gao and the others paused briefly before immediately realizing what he meant. Hearing a sudden noise from the roof, they rushed out of the warehouse.
In the distance, a man clad in a red bodysuit was fleeing away.
"It's Daredevil, that Man Without Fear!"
In an instant, they recognized the fleeing man's identity.
"Madame Gao, what ruthless methods!"
After sending his underlings to pursue Daredevil, Murakami drew his katana, wishing he could cut this old woman down on the spot.
Madame Gao did not bother to deny it. She merely smiled calmly.
"You have all seen the might of Fire Cloud Evil God's demonic art. Not only is it incredibly powerful, but it can also be cultivated quickly—and it can grant immortality."
"Heh. After seeing that scene just now, don't tell me none of you had any thoughts."
A flash of greed passed through Murakami's eyes as he sheathed his sword.
If he could obtain that demonic art, he would not only gain tremendous power, but also fulfill his long-held desire for immortality. It was impossible not to be tempted.
But... the moment he thought of Fire Cloud Evil God's strength, it was like a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, chilling him to the bone.
"Hmph. Do you really think Fire Cloud Evil God would kindly hand that technique over to us?"
Bakuto voiced his doubts from the side.
But Madame Gao merely smiled without answering. Instead, she pointed in the direction Daredevil had fled and said meaningfully, "How do you think Daredevil found this place?"
Huh?!
The others froze at those words.
"Could it be you intend to..."
Seeing Madame Gao silently nod, they said no more. With complicated expressions, they glanced back toward the warehouse before quickly leaving.
Not long after they departed.
Fire Cloud Evil God appeared where they had been standing like a ghost.
Casually flexing his fingers, he said disdainfully, "Hmph. Did they really think I couldn't hear them whispering their little plot over there?"
With Fire Cloud Evil God's current realm, coupled with the enhancement of the Six Treasury Immortal Thieves, he could hear everything within a hundred meters. Forget raindrops falling—even the beating of a fly's wings could be heard clearly.
All that could be said was that the martial arts of the kung fu world were vastly different from those of the Marvel world.
Elsewhere.
Daredevil, Matt Murdock, was running himself ragged, surrounded on all sides by ruthless assassins from The Hand.
This was not the first time he had dealt with these people. He had always felt that they were not quite human.
Clutching the wound at his waist and breathing heavily, he struggled to use his radar sense to locate his enemies.
Unfortunately, there were simply too many of them. Even if he had three heads and six arms, it was difficult to avoid getting hurt.
The ninja-clad assassins lowered their voices, crept forward on tiptoe, and approached silently with blades in hand.
Their cold katanas traced cruel arcs beneath the moonlight, slicing through the night as they slashed at Daredevil at high speed.
He bent low, rolled forward, and dodged a slash.
The instant his body sprang back up, he hurled the baton in his left hand with all his strength, smashing it into an assassin's jaw and sending him flying.
But at the same time, the sound of air tearing came from three different directions as attacks sped toward Matt.
Veins stood out on his thighs as he drove off with his right foot. His muscles erupted with brutal force, and he spread his arms wide, yanking the two incoming long blades over and pinning them beneath his armpits.
Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, a blade tip from behind, gleaming with chilling light, was about to pierce his back.
"Hah!"
Unable to move, Daredevil's eyes nearly split with urgency, his teeth clenched so hard they drew blood.
At that critical moment—
"Hundred Lightning Kicks!"
Accompanied by the sound of a breastbone breaking, a woman descended from above. Her clear voice rang out as she sent the assassin attacking Matt flying with a kick.
Though his eyes could not see, his radar sense clearly detected what she looked like.
He struck the blade-wielding enemies to his left and right away in quick succession, then spun around to widen the distance from the person behind him.
He did not let down his guard just because she had saved him. Daredevil asked cautiously, "I'm Daredevil, ma'am. Who are you?"
The woman stood poised and graceful, raising one leg high as she assumed a strange martial arts stance.
"Hello, Daredevil. My name is Chun-Li."
[Emotion Value from Matt Murdock +133]
After that, neither of them said another word.
A brief disturbance spread among the assassins around them, but they soon calmed down. Icy killing intent settled upon the two of them, and their actions made one thing clear: tonight, neither of them would leave this place alive.
The two stood back-to-back and worked together, rapidly knocking every attacking assassin to the ground.
During the process, Daredevil also gained a basic understanding of the woman named Chun-Li.
"An East Country native. Professionally trained, with impressive fighting skills—or rather, kung fu.
She controlled the force of her strikes well. Her bearing is like that of an experienced police officer, and she has probably handled firearms before.
She's around twenty-three to twenty-five years old. Her thinking isn't naive at all; she's quite mature instead."
He retrieved his baton from a fallen assassin and watched the body turn into a yellow liquid. Only after cautiously waiting until his radar sense could no longer detect a single assassin nearby did he turn solemnly toward Chun-Li and thank her.
"Thank you."
Matt silently remembered this favor, deciding that if she ever needed anything in the future, he would definitely repay her.
[Emotion Value from Matt Murdock +155]
Chun-Li smiled unconcernedly and waved a hand, voicing the question in her heart.
"Mr. Daredevil, who are these people? Why are they trying to kill you?"
Why can't a completed book post new chapters? Damn it, I really want to promote this new book.
