Chapter 236: Chapter 234: War Begins

Beneath Lishui Villa, a figure with long, jet-black hair sat cross-legged on the ground.

The figure was clad in a robe adorned with elaborate patterns. Upon close inspection, those patterns were all of humans suffering various tortures.

And the long hair behind his head seemed to be alive, writhing slowly.

"Lord Corrupt Blood... there are fewer sacrificial people coming to Lishui Villa tonight than usual. I fear something might be amiss," a middle-aged man in a suit said cautiously to the figure.

The man in the suit was the publicly-known general manager of Lishui Villa, while the sacrificial people were the internal term used by Profane Blood for ordinary humans.

Corrupt Blood sneered, "No need to worry. Perhaps someone has noticed the anomaly here. As long as the headquarters of the Hunter Association hasn’t found us, what threat can others pose... But we can’t stay in this villa any longer."

He had hardly finished speaking when his eyes bulged and his jet-black hair floated up.

Those hairs were his perception ability, and they sensed a large number of superpower users encircling Lishui Villa. Besides, there was something rapidly approaching Lishui Villa from the sky...

This sensation... They seemed to have truly caught the attention of the Hunter Association’s headquarters!

...

The Hunter Association openly surrounded the place, and the people of Profane Blood naturally noticed it.

All superpower users and monsters quickly completed their defenses, preparing to fight the Hunter Association to the bitter end.

If this place were breached, the higher-ups might escape using various methods, but these lower-level monsters and superpower users would certainly not be able to escape.

However, as they braced for the Federation’s assault, they suddenly noticed three faint black dots in the sky.

The dots grew larger and a deep rumbling noise could be heard.

Those were... bombers!

Dozens of high-yield bombs were dropped from the planes, carpet bombing the vicinity of Lishui Villa.

In almost an instant, the place had turned into a veritable hell on earth!

Unlike weapons used in human wars, which are subject to various humanitarian restrictions, the bombs carried by the Association’s bombers were fundamentally designed for maximum destruction.

With just one round of bombing, almost all the superpower users on the ground at Profane Blood headquarters were wiped out, with only a few with special abilities surviving.

However, bombing with bombers could achieve results only the first time. To conduct a second round of bombing, not to mention the effectiveness, the planes might not even be saved.

In Profane Blood, there were also powerhouses capable of shooting down planes directly from the ground!

Moreover, since there had been almost no global-scale wars, the military power of the Federation was not very strong. These bombers were already a very powerful modern weapon.

As for nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs, they were nowhere to be found.

As soon as the bombing ended, the entire Lishui Lake began to boil, the ground nearby trembled slightly as if there was an earthquake.

Then, eight giant octopus tentacles, several meters thick and dozens of meters long, together with two giant segmented limbs with pincers emerged from the water, like a monstrous beast bent on destruction!

This was only the part of the monster that showed above the ground; who knows how much larger it was beneath the surface.

But faced with such a terrifying beast, not a single person from the Hunter Association showed any fear. With a wave of their hands, the two captains of the special operations teams had countless Demon Hunters immediately spring into action.

In the world of superpower users, unless a creature’s size blotted out the sun and sky, it was considered defeatable.

And so, the Capital Hunter Association’s extermination war against the Profane Blood officially began.

The moment the battle kicked off, Wen Wen crawled out from the Catastrophe Containment Facility and watched hundreds of superpower users fight in a chaotic frenzy. Every cell in his body was cheering ecstatically, for this was the thrill he had always sought.

However, Wen Wen didn’t rush into the fray headlong; he knew what he had to do.

"Tsk tsk, the Association headquarters really does things on a grander scale than the branches, actually employing bombers. When will I get to play with those toys?"

"Normal superpower users definitely wouldn’t be able to survive under such firepower, but to carry out such large-scale indiscriminate attacks, I guess the ordinary people inside Lishui Villa probably won’t make it."

Wen Wen observed a three-second silence for the ordinary people inside, then stopped thinking about it.

The Association must have carried out evacuations for the ordinary people. Now, those staying in Lishui Villa were either colluding with them or had no means of evacuation.

Faced with such a large secret organization as the Profane Blood, the Hunter Association couldn’t possibly ensure every ordinary person’s safety.

Even releasing one more superpower user would cause far more casualties than the number of ordinary people in the villa. Just recall Mr. L’s creation of the horrifying event at Furong River Amusement Park.

The mission of the Hunter Association was to ensure the safety of the majority of humanity, so how to choose was something that couldn’t be changed from the very beginning.

Watching the huge tentacles and pincers tangled with many Demon Hunters, Wen Wen couldn’t help but click his tongue: "Speaking of which, that thing really is huge, but... if it’s the owner of the heartbeat I felt in the water that night, what’s exposed now is probably just the tip of the iceberg!"

Perhaps the tentacles and pincers on the surface were nothing but a trivial part of something far larger underground.

But all this had nothing to do with Wen Wen. Since the war had already begun, it was time for him to start his plan.

He intended to make the most of the chaos to rescue Heng An, and as for how to get him out, Wen Wen had long thought of a way.

Before, when he came looking for Heng An, he had already done a simple survey of the nearby terrain, so he knew approximately where Heng An’s cell was underground.

Consequently, Wen Wen directly transformed into his Ghostly Physique and easily snuck down over a dozen meters underground, stopping at the location from his memory.

Now, he could see the walls of the underground room. Heng An’s cell was so deep underground that the earlier bombing should have been unable to reach him.

Truth be told, Wen Wen didn’t believe the Hunter Association would completely annihilate the Profane Blood branch; it seemed unrealistic.

Though there was a huge disparity in strength, given that Profane Blood had been operating here for so long, it was improbable that they had no contingency plans. The most that could happen was they would be severely damaged.

Before their retreat, they would surely transport away the important things within the branch and either kill or take away the imprisoned criminals.

Therefore, Wen Wen needed to hurry, to rescue Heng An before he was taken away.

Outside the walls, there was an imperceptible energy membrane, composed of Supernatural Power. It would undoubtedly attract Profane Blood’s attention if anyone touched it.

Wen Wen ordinarily wouldn’t dare to touch it, but now, he switched to his Philosophical State!

He was set on breaking through this membrane!
