Deep beneath the Lishui Villa, a figure with long, dark hair sat cross-legged on the ground.
The figure wore a robe adorned with magnificent patterns. Upon closer inspection, these patterns were revealed to be depictions of humans suffering various tortures.
As for the long hair behind his head, each strand seemed alive, writhing slowly. Sudan Novel Network.
"Lord Corrupt Blood... there are far fewer sacrificial civilians at Lishui Villa tonight than usual. Your subordinate feels something may be amiss."
A middle-aged man in a suit spoke cautiously to the figure.
The suited man was the publicly known general manager of Lishui Villa, while "sacrificial civilians" was the term used internally by the Blood of Blasphemy for ordinary people.
Corrupt Blood sneered, "No need to worry. Perhaps someone discovered this place is unusual. As long as it's not the Hunter Association's headquarters that has found us, what threat can others pose to us... However, this villa can no longer be occupied."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes widened, and his dark hair floated up.
This hair was his sensory ability, and it detected that a large number of superhumans had surrounded Lishui Villa. Furthermore, something was rapidly approaching the villa from the sky…
This feeling… it seemed they truly were targeted by the Hunter Association's headquarters!
…
Naturally, the Blood of Blasphemy also discovered the Hunter Association's large-scale encirclement.
All superhumans and monsters quickly completed their defensive deployment, intending to fight the Hunter Association to the bitter end.
If this place were breached, the higher-ups might escape through various means, but they, the low-level monsters and superhumans, would certainly not be able to.
However, as they prepared for the attack from these alliance members, they suddenly noticed what appeared to be three faint black dots in the sky.
These dots grew larger and larger, accompanied by a low rumbling sound.
Those were… bombers!
Dozens of high-yield bombs were dropped from the aircraft, carpet-bombing the Lishui Villa area.
Almost instantly, the location turned into a living hell!
Unlike weapons used in human warfare, which often had humanitarian restrictions, the bombs carried by the Association's bombers were designed for maximum destructive power.
With just one sortie, the superhumans on the ground at the Blood of Blasphemy headquarters were virtually wiped out, leaving only a handful of survivors with special abilities.
However, bombing with aircraft would only be effective the first time. A second round of bombing would not yield much effect, and the aircraft might not survive.
The Blood of Blasphemy also had its share of powerhouses capable of shooting down aircraft from the ground!
Moreover, due to the near absence of large-scale global wars, the Federation's military strength was not very formidable. These bombers were already considered very powerful modern weapons.
As for nuclear or hydrogen bombs, there wasn't even a trace.
As soon as the bombing ended, the entire Lishui Lake began to churn. The ground nearby trembled slightly, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Following that, eight enormous octopus tentacles, several meters thick and tens of meters long, along with two giant limb segments tipped with pincers, emerged from the lake, like world-destroying behemoths!
This was merely the portion of the monster's body exposed above ground; its size beneath the earth was unknown.
Yet, facing such a terrifying colossal beast, the Hunter Association members showed no fear. The captains of the two special operations teams waved their hands, and countless demon hunters immediately sprang into action.
In the world of superhumans, unless a being was so colossal it blotted out the sky, it could be defeated.
Thus, the extermination war waged by the Washington Hunter Association against the Blood of Blasphemy officially began.
As the battle between the two sides commenced, Wen Wen crawled out of the Disaster Containment Facility. Observing the chaotic fighting of hundreds of superhumans, every cell in his body was cheering; this was the excitement he had always sought.
However, Wen Wen didn't rush in impulsively. He knew what he needed to do.
"Tsk, tsk, the Association's headquarters truly has more clout than its branches, actually deploying bombers. I wonder when I'll get to pilot one of these; that would be awesome."
"Ordinary superhumans definitely wouldn't survive such firepower. However, with such large-scale indiscriminate attacks, the ordinary people inside Lishui Villa probably wouldn't survive."
Wen Wen offered three seconds of silence for the ordinary people within, then moved on.
The Association must have evacuated the ordinary people. Any who remained in Lishui Villa were either complicit with them or were simply impossible to evacuate.
Facing such a large and clandestine organization as the Blood of Blasphemy, the Hunter Association couldn't possibly ensure the safety of every ordinary person.
Even letting one more superhuman escape would cause far more casualties than the number of ordinary people in the villa. Recall how just one Mr. L caused the horrifying Furong River Park incident.
The Hunter Association's mission was to guarantee the safety of the majority of humanity, so the decision of what sacrifices to make was immutable from the outset.
Watching the giant tentacles and pincers locked in combat with numerous demon hunters, Wen Wen couldn't help but click his tongue, "Speaking of which, that thing is truly massive. But… if it's the owner of the heartbeat I felt in the water that night, what's displayed now is likely just the tip of the iceberg!"
Perhaps the tentacles and pincers on the surface were merely an insignificant part of the entity beneath the ground.
However, none of this concerned Wen Wen. Since the war had begun, his plan was about to commence.
He intended to rescue Heng An amidst the chaos, and he had already devised a method for how to do so.
Previously, when he came to find Heng An, he had already conducted a basic reconnaissance of the surrounding terrain. Therefore, he knew approximately where Heng An's cell was located underground.
So, Wen Wen transformed directly into a ghostly constitution, easily infiltrating dozens of meters underground and stopping at the location in his memory.
Now, he could already see the walls of the underground chamber. Heng An's cell was so deep underground that the previous bombardment should not have reached him.
To be honest, Wen Wen didn't believe the Hunter Association could annihilate all the members of the Blood of Blasphemy's branch; it seemed unrealistic.
Although the power disparity was vast, the Blood of Blasphemy had operated here for so long that they surely had contingency plans. This operation would, at most, inflict heavy damage.
And before they retreated, they would definitely transport away important items from the branch, either killing or taking away the prisoners.
Therefore, Wen Wen had to seize the opportunity to rescue Heng An before he was moved.
Outside the wall, there was a subtle energy film. This film was composed of superhuman power, and touching it would invariably alert the Blood of Blasphemy.
Normally, Wen Wen would never dare to touch it, but now he had transformed into a philosophical state!
He was going to force his way through this film!
