The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 25, Become My Disciple, Hit-Girl!
The battle was over, and Big Daddy, having won another resounding victory, laughed heartily and reached out his hand to Hit-Girl:

"Well done, Hit-Girl! Come on, give Big Daddy a high five!"

Hit-Girl sheathed her sword, laughed, ran over, and leaped into the air to give her dad a high-five.

"Unfortunately, this factory has no cash, so we won't make any money on this trip."

"We are champions of justice who punish crime, not mercenaries who fight for money. Successfully destroying Kingpin's factories and further weakening his criminal empire is a victory in itself."

"Okay, you're the boss, you're in charge."

Just as the father and daughter were celebrating their victory.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
A few crisp claps suddenly rang out.

"Are there any enemies?"

Big Daddy's eyes turned cold, and he raised his shotgun, aiming it in the direction from which the applause was coming.

Hit-Girl also drew her sword and raised her pistol.

Then, the father and daughter saw a tall, handsome young man wearing a mid-length trench coat, a white shirt underneath, and a black tie, with an elegant smile on his lips, walking slowly towards them.

He was also holding a large, folded black umbrella, which he used as a gentleman's cane.

Behind him followed a burly man in a suit, nearly two meters tall, with a large frame but appearing somewhat thin and lacking muscle. The man was wearing a ridiculous hockey mask and carrying a large machete.

Without a doubt, it was Li Xingzhou and Jason.

In fact, Li Xingzhou had already noticed the commotion when Big Daddy and Hit-Girl first stormed in.

However, this factory was originally a pawn that Kingpin threw out as bait. The workers and gunmen inside were all scumbags whose lives Kingpin didn't even care about. Therefore, Li Xingzhou was too lazy to come out and rescue them. It wasn't until Big Daddy and Hit-Girl massacred the entire factory that he leisurely showed up.

"Dad, this guy is so handsome! And his demeanor is as elegant as a prince!"

Hit-Girl stared at Li Xingzhou and muttered to herself.

"Hey girl, this isn't the time to admire handsome guys! See that knife in that big guy's hand? They're the enemy! And extremely dangerous enemies!"

The old man warned in a low voice.

HitGirl curled her lip dismissively:

"A dangerous enemy? They haven't even drawn their guns."

"It is precisely because the guns were not drawn that it was extremely dangerous."

The old man looked serious and explained in a low voice, giving a parting lecture:

“We slaughtered the factory, leaving a bloodbath. We wiped out more than a dozen fully armed gunmen. Any normal person would have fled in terror at the sight of this scene, but they dared to show themselves face to face with only an umbrella and a knife... Anyone who does something so abnormal is either a madman or incredibly strong!”

He pursed his lips, then solemnly said:

"Don't forget, this world has superhumans..."

As the father and daughter were talking rapidly, Li Xingzhou had already brought Jason to the opposite side of them, stopping about five meters away.

He glanced at the father and daughter, then looked around and sighed:
"Wow, you guys are the most amazing ordinary people I've ever met... especially this young lady, her skills and temperament are truly breathtaking."

He leaned on his umbrella with both hands, offered a few words of praise, and then said seriously:
"However, at this age, a young girl should be focused on her studies, not on becoming a superhero and fighting with bad guys. This is extremely detrimental to her development, especially to her mental health."

He looked at his father:

"You're her father, aren't you? How can you educate your daughter like this? You should send her to school and give her a complete and normal childhood, instead of taking her to risk her life and go on killing sprees everywhere."

"Hey, why are you suddenly lecturing me?"

Hit-Girl retorted defiantly:
"I'm a genius girl, a crime slayer! My mission is to punish crime, going to school isn't my job! Besides, what danger is there? I can kill all these scumbags by myself!"

"Hit-Girl is right."

The eldest father even nodded repeatedly in agreement with his daughter:

"We are the nemesis of evil; punishing evil is our sacred mission. Everything we do is to protect other children so they can attend school safely in an environment untainted by evil..."

"Tsk, you old geezer..."

Li Xingzhou shook his head speechlessly, knowing that his father had long been mentally unstable and was in a semi-mad state. He didn't bother arguing with them and gave Jason the order:
"Disarm them." Jason said silently, and strode forward.

Despite suspecting that the two men were exceptionally dangerous superhumans, Big Daddy was clearly not going to surrender without a fight. He immediately raised his shotgun and pulled the trigger on Jason.

Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and Jason's chest was riddled with tiny holes from the shotgun blasts, but what seeped from those holes was rotting black blood.

Jason, who had been shot in the chest, only shuddered slightly before continuing on his way as if nothing had happened.

"Hmm... he really is a superhuman!" Big Daddy's eyes twitched slightly, and he felt a sense of foreboding.

Hit-Girl's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "My God, what kind of monster is this?"

As they spoke, Jason was only one step away from Big Daddy. Jason's pace seemed slow, but he actually had an extremely strange speed of movement. No matter how hard or fast a person was trying to escape, he would eventually catch up with them.

Sometimes, even when the prey has run away from him with all its might, Jason, who walks at a leisurely pace and never runs, can always suddenly appear behind the prey just when the prey thinks it has escaped.

Clearly, in addition to his immortality, Jason also possesses a subtle yet very strange ability to teleport.

Even Li Xingzhou couldn't extract this ability from him, and he couldn't figure out how he activated it.

The old man naturally couldn't tell either; he was in shock when this big guy, who was clearly slow-moving, inexplicably appeared in front of him.

Big Daddy was shocked and fired repeatedly at Jason, who was just a step away, while trying to retreat.

However, he had only taken half a step back when Jason, amidst the hail of shotgun shells, grabbed the barrel and twisted it with force.

Big Daddy is incredibly strong; he can snap a person's neck with one hand. If placed among ordinary people, he could be described as having superhuman strength.

Even so, when Jason twisted the barrel, Big Daddy still felt excruciating pain in his fingers and palms, completely unable to resist the violent force transmitted from the barrel.

The old man reluctantly let go, allowing Jason to take the shotgun.

At this moment, HitGirl fired repeatedly at Jason's head, but Jason wasn't afraid of shotguns, so why would he pay attention to HitGirl's pistol? He just thought she was giving him a gua sha treatment, so he picked up the shotgun he had taken and swung it back at HitGirl.

Although Jason is very strong and has a lot of muscle, his movements are still a bit slow. This attack was easily dodged by the extremely agile HitGirl.

As Hit-Girl dodged Jason's attack, she circled behind him, drew her katana, and slashed at his knee. Jason only staggered slightly before returning to his usual unscathed state.

Then Big Daddy picked up a submachine gun, fired at Jason, and yelled:
"I'll hold this monster off, you go deal with that handsome guy, he's the key person!"

After biting the woman, Hit Girl turned and ran towards Li Xingzhou.

As she ran, she first raised her pistol, aiming it at Li Xingzhou's forehead. But when her eyes met his calm, deep pupils, she inexplicably softened, lowered the pistol, and explained to herself:

"Dad said that handsome guys are the key, so I need to capture one alive and use him to threaten that unkillable monster!"

She holstered her pistol, darted to Li Xingzhou in one step, then zigzaggled around to his side, crouching low and slashing at his calf with her knife.

However, just as the swift slash reached its midpoint, a black umbrella swept across, its pointed metal tip striking the thin blade with a sharp clang.

Not only that, but a shock-like force spread from the blade to the hilt, causing Hit-Girl's hand holding the knife to tremble violently, her fingers going numb, and she almost dropped the knife.

"How is that possible? The handle is insulated, how could you get an electric shock?"

Hit-Girl was startled. She slammed her free left hand on the ground, using the momentum to propel her petite figure backward. After regaining her footing, she took several more steps back, switched the knife to her left hand, and while swinging her right hand, asked him in astonishment:

"Your umbrella can discharge electricity? But my knife handle is clearly insulated, so why..."

"It's not discharging electricity."

Li Xingzhou, holding the umbrella with both hands as if he had never moved, smiled at the little girl:

"That's called 'true qi,' a kind of magical energy that the human body generates itself through training, according to Eastern legends. Want to learn it? Become my disciple and I can teach you."

He only wanted mature and hot beauties and had no interest in young girls, but he admired Hit Girl's talent and temperament and was genuinely interested in taking her as a disciple—a petite girl who was not superhuman, only twelve or thirteen years old, who could hone her skills to this level with just ordinary fighting techniques, killing adult gunmen as easily as cutting melons and vegetables...

This innate talent is enough to call him a prodigy.

"Want to be my teacher? Beat me first!"

Hit-Girl licked her lips and charged forward again, sword in hand.
