Chapter 769 A Praise of Killing and Destruction

"Don't be ridiculous, you're not even a warm-up in front of me!"

"Today, I'm going to show you just how terrifying I, Van Helsing, can be!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sprang to his feet!

It moves with lightning speed, arriving in an instant!

Huo Han's pupils contracted, and he quickly dodged to the side.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

Van Helsing's punch landed squarely on Huo Han's chest!

Bang!

Huo Han felt as if his internal organs were being churned up!

He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out like a kite with a broken string! [Ding! Severely injured, HP -100!]

The system notification, like a thunderclap, boomed in my mind.

The power of that punch was terrifying!

If it weren't for my own cultivation level, I would probably have died on the spot!

Huo Han gritted his teeth, endured the excruciating pain, and stood up shakily.

His forehead veins bulged, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Van Helsing, you're asking for it!"

He roared and pointed his gun at Van Helsing.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three loud bangs echoed through the hall.

Several bullets whistled out, heading straight for Van Helsing's face!

However, a truly astonishing scene unfolded.

Van Helsing simply raised his hand to block.

In an instant, all the bullets were deflected!

Vanished into nothingness!

"This...how is this possible..."

Huo Han stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his voice trembling.

This Van Helsing is incredibly formidable!

The bullets hit him, but it was as if they had hit a brick wall; he was completely unharmed!

"Hahaha, you're overestimating yourself!"

Upon seeing this, Van Helsing threw his head back and laughed wildly, his eyes filled with disdain.

"I told you long ago, you are no match for me."

"With such meager skills, you dare to challenge me?"

"You are nothing but an insignificant ant who overestimates his own abilities!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Han's expression changed drastically.

He stared intently at Van Helsing, his gaze dark and brooding.

"Van Helsing, don't be so arrogant."

"I, Huo Han, have never believed in any absolute powerhouse!"

"I have my pride, and I have my beliefs!"

"Until the very last moment, no one knows who will win or lose!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out something that gleamed with a cold light.

It was that incomparably sharp Scorpion King Blade!

An ancient, evil weapon, coated with potent poison, capable of causing enemies to succumb to poisoning and death!

"~Prepare to die!"

Huo Han quickly drew his two Desert Eagle pistols and aimed them at the enemy in front of him.

[Ding, you have killed Zhang San, a member of the Red Eagle Gang, and gained 100 experience points.] The system notification sounded in Huo Han's ears.

Huo sneered and sheathed his Desert Eagle at his waist. He knew his weapon had been upgraded to level 2, making it more powerful than before.

Ye Xiaoyan, carrying her three-meter-long katana, approached Huo Han and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

Huo Han shook his head, looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Since the Red Eagle Gang has come, it seems they're here for us. Let's go, let's go to their headquarters."

Ye Xiaoyan nodded and followed behind Huo Han, the two of them heading towards the direction where the Red Eagle Gang members were gathered.

The Red Eagle Gang is one of the largest gangs in the city. Its leader, Li Si, has grown the gang through his ruthlessness and cunning.

It is said that Li Si was skilled in using various cold weapons, especially throwing knives and daggers, and his aim was almost perfect, making many gangs tremble with fear.

When Huo Han and Ye Xiaoyan arrived, the Red Eagle Gang had already gathered over a hundred people, staring at them like wolves.

The leader was a tall, bald man, Li Si, the leader of the Red Eagle Gang.

"Huo Han, I didn't expect you to be so bold, daring to come to my Red Eagle Gang's territory alone and cause trouble." Li Si stared at Huo Han with a cold gaze, his tone full of sarcasm.

Huo Han remained calm and said, "Li Si, I'm here today to seek justice for Zhang San. Your Red Eagle Gang has been causing trouble on my turf lately. I didn't want to have a conflict with you, but you've gone too far."

"Heh, seeking justice for Zhang San? I think you're tired of living!" Li Si sneered, suddenly raising his hand, and a throwing knife instantly shot towards Huo Han's face. 373 Huo Han reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side, and at the same time drew his two pistols, firing several shots at Li Si.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots rang out, and the Red Eagle Gang members present drew their weapons and roared as they rushed towards Huo Han.

Ye Xiaoyan brandished her katana like a streak of silver light, cutting down the enemies who rushed at her, splattering blood everywhere.

Huo Han and Ye Xiaoyan worked together seamlessly, their twin pistols and katana complementing each other, making them invincible and routing the Red Eagle Gang members.

Seeing that all was lost, Li Si suddenly drew his twin swords and launched a final attack on Huo Han.

Huo Han and Li Si fought fiercely, exchanging blows with each other, their swords flashing and neither giving an inch.

Two gunshots rang out, and Li Si was hit in the chest and forehead at the same time, falling into a pool of blood.

[Ding, you have killed Li Si, the leader of the Red Eagle Gang, and gained 1000 experience points. Your Desert Eagle pistol has been upgraded to level 3, with attack power +10 and range +20.] The system's white voice rang in Huo Han's mind again.

The Red Eagle Gang was leaderless, and the remaining members scattered and fled. Huo Han put away his two pistols, looking at the corpses on the ground with a cold gaze.

Ye Xiaoyan stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Huo Han, are you alright?"

Huo Han shook his head, his tone firm: "Don't worry, with you here, I'll be fine. Let's go, it's time to go back."

As night deepened, the moonlight, like water, shone on Huo Han and Ye Xiaoyan, making them appear like gleaming silver armor.

In the distance, a black Rolls-Royce slowly drove up and stopped in front of Huo Han and his companion.

The car window rolled down, revealing an old yet dignified face.

"Mr. Huo, it's been a long time. I am Zhou Xingchen. I have long admired your name and have come to pay you a visit today."

Huo Han stared intently at the other man, his gaze sharp as lightning, and asked, "Elder Zhou, what brings you here so late at night?"

Zhou Xingchen smiled: "Mr. Huo's martial arts are unparalleled. Seeing them today, I can see that her reputation is well-deserved. I have come here to invite Mr. Huo to join my ranks. How can a woman's talent be buried?"

"Oh? Old Master Zhou thinks highly of me. What reason could you give me to be willing to risk my life for you?" Huo Han said coldly.

Zhou Xingchen's eyes flickered as he slowly said, "Mr. Huo, you may not know this, but the world is no longer what it used to be. A mysterious force is rising and will soon be at the helm."

"The island. At that time, both the legitimate and criminal worlds will be doomed. If Mr. Huo joins my ranks, perhaps we can turn the tide."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Han and Ye Xiaoyan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with seriousness.

Zhou Xingchen continued, "This matter is of great importance, so please consider it carefully, Mr. Huo. I will give you three days. After three days, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."

After saying that, the car window slowly rolled up, and the Rolls-Royce sped away, leaving Huo Han and Ye Xiaoyan standing there.

After a long silence, Huo Han sighed softly and said to Ye Xiaoyan, "It seems that a bloody storm is inevitable. Let's go back and discuss countermeasures."

The two walked side by side, gradually receding into the distance. In this dark world where the strong prey on the weak, what will they encounter? Where will fate lead them? No one can predict…

(Early morning of the next day.)

Huo Han and Ye Xiaoyan returned to their residence and immediately summoned their trusted confidants to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Dehua, Li Bing, Fan Bing and others arrived one after another and took their seats in the conference room.

Huo Han recounted Zhou Xingchen's late-night visit, and the expressions on everyone's faces were not very pleasant after hearing it.

“Old Zhou is a veteran in the industry, and his words are not without reason. I’m afraid something big is about to happen,” Liu Dehua said in a deep voice.

"It seems that the mysterious organization that has been rumored for so long is about to surface. We need to come up with a solution as soon as possible." Li Bing was also very worried.

Huo Han clasped his hands together, his eyes blazing: "No matter how powerful the enemy is, we must rise to the challenge. But right now, the most important thing is to find out the details of this organization."

[Ding, hidden mission detected: Investigate a mysterious organization. Mission rewards: Experience points, special skill: Super Reconnaissance.]

Huo Han's face lit up with joy, and he said to everyone, "I have a plan. Don't worry, leave it to me."

The group exchanged glances, but considering Huo Han's abilities, they realized he wasn't just talking nonsense, so they all nodded in agreement.

"That's all for now. Everyone go back and get some rest and recharge. Stay in touch if anything happens," Huo Han concluded.

The meeting ended, and everyone left one after another. Huo Han and Ye Xiaoyan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with worry.

The next day, Huo Han began investigating the mysterious organization. He first contacted some acquaintances in the police force to gather information.

"There have been rumors lately that a mysterious organization is operating in the shadows, and many underworld bosses are being recruited by them. But even the police don't know what kind of organization it is," said Huo Han's friend in the police force.

Huo Han then sought out some informants connected to the underworld, and with great effort, managed to piece together some information from snippets of information.

It turns out that this mysterious organization is called the "Netherworld Cult," which adheres to an ancient heretical religion and glorifies killing and destruction.

Their ultimate goal is to destroy the existing order and establish a "dark kingdom".

Their leader is said to be a mysterious and unpredictable man, known as the "Lord of the Underworld." No one has ever seen his true face, but he is said to possess extraordinary abilities, making him virtually invincible.

0...0

The more Huo Han investigated, the more alarmed he became. He knew that he was facing a behemoth that he could not possibly contend with on his own.

He organized the information he had gathered and prepared to go back and discuss it with his companions.

Just then, he received a call from an unknown number.

"Mr. Huo, it's been a long time. I wonder what your decision has been?" It was Zhou Xingchen's voice coming from the other end of the phone.

00 ...

Huo Han frowned and said in a deep voice, "I appreciate Elder Zhou's kindness. But since Elder Zhou knows so much about the Netherworld Sect, you must have already formed some kind of relationship with them, right? I, Huo Han, have been traveling the martial world for many years and I never recognize a thief as my father."

Zhou Xingchen was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Mr. Huo is stubbornly persistent. Well then, good luck to you both. Remember, you only have one chance; if you miss it, you'll get another."

After saying that, Zhou Xingchen hung up the phone. Huo Han took a deep breath and dialed Ye Xiaoyan's number.

"Xiao Yan, return to base immediately. The situation is urgent. We may have to move ahead of schedule."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Ye Xiaoyan's voice was somewhat urgent.

Huo Han hung up the phone and left the dark alley, his mind heavy with worry. The overcast sky seemed to foreshadow an impending cataclysmic storm…
