Chapter 1538: Chapter 1538: The Strongest Against the Strongest

Gu Fan looked troubled and shook his head repeatedly: "You should know what I’m capable of by now, so can’t you give me some face?"

The Hunter’s Guild didn’t bother with idle talk with Gu Fan; they all opened fire, and in an instant, the sound of gunfire roared as a barrage of bullets whistled towards Gu Fan.

Last time, Gu Fan tested his immortal abilities by taking bullets with his flesh and blood. Although he was unharmed, the pain was intense.

This time, Gu Fan didn’t need to do anything extra; he directly utilized the Vajra Body Protection to fend them off, his body as hard as iron, shattering all the bullets without leaving a single mark on himself.

"How about it, are you done shooting?" Gu Fan stood with his hands behind his back, standing there with a look that invited them to shoot to their hearts’ content.

The Hunter’s Guild saw that Gu Fan hadn’t sustained a single injury and couldn’t help but be shocked, thinking to themselves how to fight someone even more formidable than a vampire.

Gu Fan then added: "You’ve fired so many shots at me, I can let bygones be bygones, and I also hope you can stop here and not let anything unpleasant happen."

With a cold snort from Lie Hun, his gaze resolute, showing no sign of backing down. With a snap of his fingers, members of the Hunter’s Guild then took out rocket launchers to aim at Gu Fan.

Seeing the Hunter’s Guild getting serious, Gu Fan’s expression darkened: "You’re going too far. If you dare to actually fire, you are well aware of what it means."

Hearing this, the Hunter’s Guild members hesitated, understanding the implication of his words. Since the Hunter’s Guild was not holding back, they couldn’t blame Gu Fan for not showing mercy either.

"What’s the rush! Do we have cowards in the Hunter’s Guild who are afraid to die?" Despite being urged repeatedly by Lie Hun, his subordinates didn’t dare to pull the trigger—the sheer intimidating aura of Gu Fan was enough to deter them.

Lie Hun snatched the rocket launcher directly, aimed at Gu Fan, and without hesitation, fired a missile.

"For real!" Gu Fan crossed his arms to block the missile, and he was sent flying; the Vajra Body Protection could block bullets, but not missiles—his arms and body being blown to varying degrees of a bloody mess.

However, Gu Fan possessed perfect immortality; his regeneration ability was astonishing. While he was still injured, his wounds were healing, but the pain was truly heart-wrenching.

After Lie Hun fired that shot and was thinking of a second one, he had just reloaded the rocket launcher when he saw Gu Fan already standing in front of him, his indifferent eyes surging with intent to kill.

A chill went down Lie Hun’s spine; he hurriedly aimed the rocket launcher at Gu Fan, only to be smacked away by a palm from Gu Fan.

Gu Fan grabbed Lie Hun by the throat and then twisted it, breaking it cleanly and effortlessly.

Seeing Lie Hun killed, all the Hunter’s Guild and the forces from various sides aimed their guns at Gu Fan, but they were all very afraid, their hands trembling.

Gu Fan simply stated: "My mistake, I was too polite to you before. Now, if anyone else wants to put me to death, I will not let them leave alive."

Hearing this, the Hunter’s Guild became increasingly fearful, retreating several steps backward.

"That’s more like it!" Gu Fan was satisfied with the current situation and added: "There have been enough casualties today. I want you all to leave immediately. Also, a warning to those behind you, you are no longer allowed to step foot here from now on."

Lie Hun, somewhat unwilling to give up: "Gu Fan, do you know what you’re doing? Do you know how many powerful people we have behind us? Aren’t you afraid?"

Gu Fan had a nonchalant expression: "Please tell those big shots that I am not targeting them, nor will I show favoritism toward Organization X. I am merely trying to mediate and stop this conflict. Whoever makes a move, I will strike back. It’s as simple as that."

"Fine, Gu Fan, you’ve got guts. We’ll wait and see." Lie Hun knew he couldn’t win, so he had no choice but to retreat.

Just then, the arrival of two people stabilized the spirits of their troops, and the morale of the Hunter’s Guild returned.

Lie Hun, visibly thrilled at their arrival, couldn’t help but complain, "Thank heavens you’ve finally come. I thought you weren’t going to show up and really scared me to death."

The two ignored Lie Hun and walked straight past him, their eyes fixed on Gu Fan as if he was the only person in their sight.

"Are you also looking to get involved?" Gu Fan was somewhat nervous. For the first time since the battle began, he felt threatened, as the newcomers were none other than the big boss and the hunter.

The big boss despised the inferior form of eternal life that vampires possessed and, therefore, wanted to annihilate any he encountered.

The hunter, carrying on the legacy of Jian Shen, and through his experiences, had made it his mission to exterminate all vampires.

Now, Gu Fan had to protect Helen and her vampire subordinates, which meant unavoidably confronting the big boss and the hunter.

Once comrades-in-arms who together took down Dark City, they now found themselves in opposing camps due to differing beliefs—a reflection of life’s unpredictable and poignant nature.

The hunter showed a look of regret: "Lin Yue has already spoken to me. I’m sorry, Gu Fan, but I don’t agree with your methods. I don’t believe vampires can change, and this war will only continue endlessly. I advise you to give up your naïve thoughts and understand the true nature of vampires."

Gu Fan adamantly retorted: "How would you know without trying? Have you ever managed anything? Do you know how to run things? You only know how to wield a sword in battle with vampires. Do you understand what vampires under Xue Wang’s rule are truly thinking?"

Hearing this, the hunter’s face darkened. Gu Fan had accused him of being simple-minded and all brawn, which was quite an uncompromising retort.

The big boss wasn’t concerned with these matters and simply said, "My idea is straightforward: to destroy everything and everyone related to eternal life in this world. Since you, Gu Fan, have obtained immortality, I will start by destroying you, and then I’ll deal with the vampires you’re sheltering."

"Do you have what it takes? You’re just a defeated underling." Gu Fan’s strength was now such that he no longer feared the big boss at all. Any distasteful words from the big boss could be immediately returned with even less pleasant sentiments.

With the big boss showing a forceful attitude and Gu Fan not giving in, this was a clear example of tit for tat.

The big boss was a bit annoyed: "I was defeated by the future you, not the current you."

"I wanted to end today on a peaceful note, but you’re pressing me hard, so I guess I have no choice. I’ve also been looking to vent out." Gu Fan had already abandoned the notion of keeping the peace and was gearing up for a major confrontation.

The absence of Lin Xi during this period had left Gu Fan in a foul mood. Gu Fan had tried to talk reasonably with the other side, yet they insisted on resorting to violence. Despite his restraint and repeated concession, they were unappreciative and increasingly heavy-handed.

Gu Fan could no longer contain his anger, and his pent-up frustration exploded. Regardless of who the opponent was, he was ready to fight first and talk later.

Both the big boss and the hunter could sense that Gu Fan’s momentum was extraordinarily unusual, and it seemed that the truly enraged party was Gu Fan.
