Chapter Nine: Demon Hunter
Ding Chifeng is considered a wealthy and noble individual in human society. The enterprises under the name of the Chifeng Army are distributed across several cities in Northeast China. This shooting club is primarily intended for the internal training of his subordinates, hence its location is quite remote
Fang Lin was unable to resist and was touched on the forehead by the finger of the one who floated up, the future being. After he blinked, all that remained before him was an endless void. There was not a single figure in sight around him
Before the lightning dragon pursued the truck, Fang Lin Kong had a strange symbol drawn on his chest by his future self. A powerful force surged forth, and he immediately flew upward. Without any obstruction, he pierced straight through the roof of the truck, startling him into flailing his arms and legs, desperately trying to grab onto something.
Seize every opportunity from now on to strengthen your power! Moreover, this memory is a gift I leave for you
Fang Lin Kong pushed aside Wen Yi, who was lost in delusion, and coldly said to Oren Vigin: "We are all just ordinary people and cannot engage in the act of killing. It is a pity that I cannot agree to your request"
Dong Xinlei looked on in astonishment as the lightning he had unleashed was silently consumed by the wildly speeding truck. Moreover, that heavy truck came to an abrupt stop, defying the laws of physics with a screech. The boy named Fang Linkong from the data burst out of the truck, and immediately after, another Fang Linkong leaped out.
Oren Wiggins! How could he be here
Senior, you are truly remarkable; I have been reckless.
Since we are aware of the enemy's strength, it is evident that this time more than just Dong Xinlei has been dispatched. Dong Xinlei, who is racing alongside the heavy truck, has already sent out a signal to gather reinforcements
Although Fang Linkong trusted Li Bing, in this situation, he instinctively positioned himself in front of Ding Qingya and signaled the five girls not to disperse. Cen Xiaoying was the first to be unable to endure their tense demeanor; she delivered a sharp knock on the head of the nearest Ma Jingjie and said in a melodious voice: "What on earth are you all doing? Aren't we just out to have some fun? Why does everyone look like they've seen an enemy? Do you know that foreigner?"
Fang Lin and the other three are all acquainted with this deadly figure. If it had not been for Li Bing's intervention to save them, it is likely that all four of them would have perished under the gun of this elite member of the demon-hunting team.
Looking at the beautiful woman extending her delicate hand, Li Bing smiled faintly and shook it. As for Fang Linkong and the others, they received only a faint, charming smile. Zhang Yun turned around to attend to Li Bing again
The scale of this armory is as much as 20 square meters. The weapon racks on the walls are filled with various handguns, revolvers, rifles, and submachine guns. While there is a lack of heavy firepower, a wide array of light and submachine guns is indeed quite complete
Muttering to himself, the unaware future individual turned to Fang Linkong and smiled slightly, saying: "Strength cannot determine everything, but it is the most fundamental guarantee in life. Ordinary people can only be at the mercy of others; even if they are unwilling, it is of no use."
Even with the toes of their feet, Fang Lin Kong knows that these three fellows have nothing good to say
Ten people changed buses three times before reaching their destination, where they beheld the extraordinarily luxurious club building. Fang Lin Kong couldn't help but secretly exclaim, "How wonderful it is to be wealthy!"
Ding Qingya was unaware of what Fang Lin Kong had just lamented. With a hint of excitement, she said: "Our sister Cen mentioned that she wants everyone to go to a newly opened shooting club tonight. You should invite Wen Yi, Ma Jingjie, and the others; it will be much livelier!"
Upon recalling the image of Ding Qingya losing her temper, Fang Linkong immediately felt that all his negative emotions and written sentiments vanished. Fang Linkong thought to himself: "This is my girlfriend whom I pursued across time and space; to have her leave after just a few words is simply not worth it"
Having gone through life-and-death situations with Li Bing multiple times, everyone's relationships have deepened significantly. Although Wen Yi, Chen Mingbin, and Ma Jingjie were possessed by evil spirits, they retained their memories from that period and were very familiar with Li Bing's abilities. Upon seeing this, they hurried over to flatter him profusely. Cen Xiaoying was somewhat surprised and asked Fang Linkong, "Are you all very familiar with Li Bing? How come I didn't know about this?"
The beautiful manager, Zhang Yun, still wore a smile on her face. Ignoring the expressions of Lin Kong and the others, she said with a light laugh: "This is Mr. Weijin, the shooting coach we have just hired for our club. Please feel free to converse with him; I will take my leave now." After saying this, Zhang Yun and Li Bing exchanged courteous handshakes once more before gracefully turning to leave.
Hehe! The use of natural forces is the most basic level of magic. Lightning, frost, flames, and even various natural phenomena are the fundamental applications of spells
While idly chatting nonsense, Fang Linkong suddenly sensed a familiar aura wafting in, and immediately waved his hand, calling out as if he were intently watching the game, suppressing numerous complaints that had risen in his throat
Chen Mingbin has transformed from an ordinary individual to someone more handsome than Beckham and cooler than Rukawa Kaede. Not only does he have an exceptional style, but he is also a versatile athlete. He is no longer the person who was close to breaking the world record in the 50-meter dash. He is quite the show-off at school, and Fang Linkong is completely unaware of how many girls this guy has recently had intimate interactions and ambiguous relationships with.
We won! Lao Fang, you really need to exercise more. Why not join us for the next basketball game?" As Wen Yi and the others just stepped off the court, they gathered around Fang Lin Kong. The three who had been possessed showed some changes; their bodies had become stronger and more powerful. Just now, the three of them teamed up with two other basketball players from their class and decisively defeated the team from Class Four. In this school basketball tournament, the championship for the second grade group undoubtedly belongs to Fang Lin Kong's class.
Wen Yi's Vegeta hairstyle, he refused to change it no matter what. Although Huo Qi left, for some reason, Wen Yi retained a peculiar ability. He could produce flames the size of a lighter. If it weren't for Fang Lin Kong beating him half to death several times, this guy would have already swaggered into the Chinese Academy of Sciences as a guinea pig. Nevertheless, the magician—Wen—was still quite famous in school.
Ding Qingya, Zhang He, Lu Jiajia, and Xie Lili were approaching with cheerful smiles. Cen Xiaoying did not want to disclose anything about Fang Linkong and the others. She gave Fang Linkong a slight smile and refrained from speaking again, causing Fang Linkong, who had something to hide, to break out in a cold sweat.
"Fool! Remember to go!" Fang Linkong had not yet reacted when something was stuffed into his hand. He watched as Ding Qingya skipped away. Looking down, Fang Linkong saw a red banknote, neatly folded twice, clearly indicating that Ding Qingya had been prepared for this long in advance
Silently signaling, he informed his associates not to come. Dong Xinlei slightly bowed and walked away without looking back
The abilities of your Eastern practitioners manifest in ways that are quite different from ours. In the West, our extraordinary powers are categorized into three main systems: the Holy Power system, which derives from the spiritual training of religion; the Magic system, which originates from the forces of nature; and Alchemy, which is based on esoteric knowledge. I believe you would be well-suited to the system of natural magic, and with practice, this power can be enhanced to a greater extent
"Shoot, how much does it cost to visit the club at https://m.hetushu.com? I just had a fire at home and don't have any pocket money to indulge myself. " Fang Linkong was quite reluctant. He would not engage in the foolish act of spending just to save face, only to end up eating carrots for half a month.
Dong Xinlei had also used magic to conceal his own appearance, so he was not surprised to see two Fang Linkong. Under the influence of his magical power, the Ten Directions Town Prison Thunder Seal surged with lightning, and the Ten Directions Electric Punishment was urged to its maximum power by him
Alright! Let me first deal with the pesky follower behind me, and then I will explain it to you clearly. The clumsy Fang Lin Kong, under the immense disparity of power, was manipulated into a round and flat shape by his future self. One could only hear the other party smiling as he said: "Pure power is of no use at all, like rivers and torrents, stars moving and the sun shifting. Although the energy contained is unmatched, it cannot be used to confront an enemy. Only by allowing power to be controlled by one's own consciousness can it achieve its maximum effectiveness. In other words, only the power that is under your control can be considered true power"
Fang Lin Kong does not know how many times he has nagged; if this kid's surname were Yang, his fame might be even greater.
The saddest thing in this world is that I passed by you without knowing that you liked me. By the time I realized it, it was too late for regret, and I could only watch the time that had already slipped away slowly from my hands
Chen Mingbin slightly opened his palm, and a tiny whirlwind formed in his hand. "This is the extent of the airflow I can manipulate," Chen Mingbin said calmly, looking at Oren Vigin. "Aside from Fang Linkong, who has no abilities, Wen Yi can manipulate flames, and Ma Jingjie can generate electric currents, but our abilities are truly weak and are of no practical use. Moreover, we do not know when they will disappear. Can this even be considered spiritual power?"
Although filled with questions, the appearance of Oren Wiggins was indeed extraordinary; not only was he exceptionally handsome, but his tone was also friendly and approachable. This immediately dispelled the hostility of Cen Xiaoying and her companions. Thinking that they would soon be able to shoot, the several girls chattered and laughed as they walked towards the equipment room
"Lazy! Don't bother me. In a while, come with me to the gathering. There are beautiful women inviting us! Don't say any of you have something to do; just push it aside for me." Fang Linkong said lazily. Wen Yi let out a strange cry and exchanged glances with Chen Mingbin and Ma Jingjie, just about to speak when Fang Linkong had already stood up and turned to leave.
Transformation technique? Or illusion technique? It surely cannot be the duplication technique
Chen Mingbin asked lightly, "Do we belong to those with spiritual power?" He slowly raised his head and looked at Oren Wiggins, saying, "After being possessed by those few evil spirits, we indeed gained some peculiar abilities, for example, I..."
Seeing how much importance others place on Li Bing, Wen Yi and the others are filled with indignation. However, it is evident that Ding Chifeng values Li Bing's abilities and has instructed his subordinates to give him special attention. Such a skilled individual is worth befriending, while Fang Linkong and his group are merely considered as an afterthought.
"Because I am lazy! Besides, I am not good at sports. Isn't it better to watch them play?" He secretly rejoiced that his careless words had not been overheard by Ding Qingya.
A few days ago, Ding Chifeng personally invited Li Bing, indicating his intention not to be adversarial towards him. During their conversation, likely to demonstrate his lack of hostility, Ding Chifeng granted Li Bing VIP status at all his entertainment venues, such as nightclubs, clubs, and hotels, allowing him to consume freely without any payment. This was an attempt to curry favor with the strongest expert in the city. Last weekend, with no matters related to books, Li Bing unexpectedly encountered Cen Xiaoying on the street while strolling, and was coerced into treating her. During their meal, Cen Xiaoying mentioned her interest in shooting, lamenting the lack of opportunities to handle firearms. Li Bing recalled his recent encounter with a generous benefactor and offered to take her to the shooting club where he could charge expenses to his account for free.
Private freelance demon hunters receive rewards based on the tasks they undertake. In contrast, our demon-hunting team has an annual salary, and of course, we also provide allowances for task assignments. Furthermore, our team is responsible for the equipment and all training expenses of its members. For instance, in the future, you can pursue further studies at any university in Europe, with visas and expenses covered by us.
The people inside have yet to come out; next time, I will not be polite. Dong Xinlei originally had absolute confidence in handling the two enemies, but in a flash of light, the two adversaries were forcibly relocated by someone with powerful magical abilities. Without a second thought, he pursued the fleeing Fang Linkong. Chinese supernatural beings, the various sects of Buddhism, have a dense network of intelligence in the mortal world. Therefore, the information Dong Xinlei received was more detailed than anyone else's. Aside from the fact that the final Grimoire was taken by the group led by the White Whale, he had prepared for everything else.
As he watched the graceful silhouette of the other person walking, Li Bing's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp brilliance. He then turned to chat and laugh with Fang Linkong and the others. Noticing the change in Li Bing's expression, Fang Linkong increasingly felt that this Zhang Yun was not as simple as he seemed.
Moreover, there is one situation you must understand: monsters will target humans with spiritual power. Consuming humans with spiritual power can significantly enhance their own strength. This is also why I invited you to join our ranks. It is also to protect your own lives. " At this point, Oren Vigin smiled faintly at Wen Yi
Wow! So many weapons, and they are all exquisite
At this point, Oren Wiggins smiled slightly and said to the five girls, Ding Qingya and Cen Xiaoying among them, "Since we are here to learn shooting, why not have some fun while we chat? Over there, there are shooting equipment available for selection. Let's head to the armory to choose our firearms, and we can all regroup later."
This world is truly lonely, and I feel so empty! I want to ... ...
The unfortunate Ma Jingjie was feeling wronged and wanted to explain, but Aolun Weijing waved his hand and tossed aside the handgun he was holding, then turned around. He first nodded slightly to Li Bing, and then said with a serious expression: "I have already explained the misunderstanding from last time to Mr. Li. As for today, I have come to discuss something else with you."
Upon receiving the notification from the gatekeeper, a beautiful manager hurriedly stepped out to greet Li Bing. It was evident that she was already familiar with these individuals. With a confident smile, she addressed Li Bing, saying: "Hello everyone! I am Zhang Yun, the person in charge here. Our General Manager Ding has instructed that as long as Mr. Li is here, we should reserve the best shooting range, Range No. 4, for you. This is our General Manager Ding's private shooting range and is not open to the public."
Fang Lin Kong, it seems that your class has won this match. Chen Mingbin has been quite impressive lately! Why aren't you going down to play?
Wen Yi, upon hearing this, was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Kong's unilateral decision. However, under the persuasion of Chen Mingbin and Ma Jingjie, he restrained himself and did not speak up
See how I deal with my enemies, then I'll shoot a video and upload it online! It will surely shock the world
Even with me, I still feel lonely, empty, and bored... the family rules serve me!
In the blink of an eye, the ten people gathered and set off together; with so many people, it was certainly not lonely. Fang Linkong asked Li Bing and learned that this newly opened shooting club, found at https://m.hetushu.com.com, was actually established by acquaintances. The behind-the-scenes owner was none other than Ding Chifeng, the leader of the Chifeng Legion who had once besieged him.
Oren Wiggins raised his hand and flicked it lightly, causing a small fireball to strike the ground, burning a fist-sized hole. Wen Yi was astonished; the power of his flames was far inferior to Oren Wiggins' magic. Faced with such a live demonstration from Oren Wiggins, Wen Yi immediately felt an urge to become his apprentice
Go, Chen Mingbin! Go, Chen Mingbin!
To achieve this, one would need an immense amount of magical power and precise control over one's own strength. Dong Xinlei could hardly imagine that there were individuals in the world capable of reaching such a level. While being able to influence celestial phenomena is no small feat, being able to confine the area of influence to such a small scale is remarkable. With such a rapid transformation, Dong Xinlei mused: "I fear that among the cultivators on Earth, there may be no more than five. " Even if one were to include powerful monsters, this number would at most double.
Oren Wiggins formed a fireball in the palm of his hand with a five-fingered grasp, and he said with a wry smile: "What I cultivate is the divine spiritual power, and my understanding of magic is shallow; the only spell I can cast is this most basic fireball technique"
Could you be more specific about such favorable treatment
Oren Wiggins did not seem surprised by Fang Lin Kong's rejection and began to explain everything about demon hunters to himself
Wen Yi was the first to be unable to tolerate this strange atmosphere. He shouted loudly at Oren Vigin, who was still ignoring him and focused entirely on shooting: "Foreign devil, what exactly do you want? Why are you here to trouble us again?"
Cheers rose one after another, like waves surging in succession. Since everything came to a pause, Fang Lin Kong of the future seemed to drift into an unknown time and space. Feng Jian, Huo Qi, and Dian Gui all departed as well. The only change was in the lives of the four individuals.
Cen Xiaoying was indeed a bit curious about Li Bing's background. She had just learned in casual conversation that Li Bing was a university student who had recently moved to this city for her studies. Why was this newcomer so familiar with the local high school group of four? This piqued Cen Xiaoying's desire to investigate further. Of course, she didn't need to be polite with Fang Linkong; just as she was about to ask more detailed questions, she was interrupted by others.
"Hunter! What does a demon hunter do? Is it dangerous? Is the salary high? How many national visas can one obtain? Is there diplomatic immunity..." Wen Yi appeared extremely excited about Oren Wiggins' proposal, asking a barrage of questions.
After two consecutive lightning strikes, the opponent showed no signs of being affected and did not turn to resist. They continued to drive the truck at high speed, causing Dong Xinlei to harbor suspicions. For the third strike, he held nothing back. His most prized artifact, the Ten Directions Town Prison Thunder Seal, erupted with brilliant light, and a massive current of electricity, resembling a dragon of light, surged forward, chasing after the truck ahead.
Remember, do not let yourself regret, and do not let my future self regret
A fragrant breeze swept by, and Ding Qingya casually sat down beside Fang Linkong
However, I can't help but feel that the changes in the situation are somewhat inappropriate! How did it end up involving such a large group of people?" Fang Linkong was not deeply convinced by Li Bing's explanation. Since the matter was linked to him, and the owner of the shooting club was not an innocent person, the implications behind this situation were indeed worth exploring. However, seeing Li Bing's expression, Fang Linkong realized that he would not be able to extract any further information from him.
This text appears to be a placeholder or a non-specific symbol. Please provide a specific text for translation.
The shooting club, covering an area of several dozen acres, boasts an impressive exterior. Remarkably, there are very few visitors for leisure activities, creating a serene atmosphere. Ding Chifeng is not present today, yet the club staff continues to be warm and courteous in their hospitality
As the four people rushed to the agreed-upon location, Fang Linkong was unexpectedly surprised to see Li Bing and Cen Xiaoying together, seemingly engaged in conversation. Upon noticing Fang Linkong's arrival, Li Bing warmly greeted him, saying: "Fang Linkong, it's been a while since we last met"
Fang Lin Kong had always felt that something was amiss, but upon entering the No. 4 shooting range located ten meters underground, his doubts were immediately directed towards the shooter clad in a black priest's robe.
Fang Lin Kong also found it difficult to answer this question, and could only speak ambiguously to brush it off.
As he explained, Fang Linkong, who came from a future time and space, had between his hands a powerful gravitational force akin to a black hole. The lightning emitted by Dong Xinlei was all drawn and concentrated into his hands. With the continuous changes of his hands, an incredible scene unfolded before the eyes of both Dong Xinlei and Fang Linkong. Within the confines of this peculiar man's hands, the weather changed in an instant: at times, thunder rumbled; at times, clouds gathered; at times, it was a world of ice and snow; at times, it poured rain; at times, fierce winds blew, sending sand and stones flying. In just a brief moment, countless meteorological phenomena were simulated. While Fang Linkong remained unaware of the significance, Dong Xinlei was far more astonished.
Oren Wiggins looked at the expressions of the four individuals, laughing heartily, and shaking his head said: "This time, I asked Li Bing to contact you all and bring you here. I just want you to join the Demon Hunting Team and become demon hunters"
Demon hunters are not as dangerous as you might imagine. In fact, most of the beings we deal with are harmless and weak monsters. Moreover, our purpose is not to kill. It is merely to correct their misbehavior. In this world, most monsters abide by the law, and only occasionally do some violate the laws of the human realm. When that happens, demon hunters will mobilize a large number of skilled individuals to capture them, and they do not venture out alone.
Fang Linkong waved to Ding Qingya to indicate that he was fine. He then took a deep breath and stepped into another room with Aolun Weijin. As Fang Linkong moved, Wen Yi, Ma Jingjie, and Chen Mingbin naturally followed him. Only Li Bing remained stationary, for him, there was no need for further explanation on something he already knew the answer to
Seeing Wen Yi's eyes shining with excitement, Fang Lin Kong found himself at a loss with this fellow. He stepped aside and casually picked up a rather peculiar handgun from the rack, fiddling with it and falling silent.
The enemy's strength is too formidable; engaging in combat would only be self-degrading. Such a battle is already lost before it even begins
The second lightning strike came, and this time, Fang Linkong from ten years later seemed to be demonstrating something. He raised a finger, smiled slightly, and without any visible movement, all the electric currents instantly converged at his fingertip. After just two flickers, the electric current was dispersed by Fang Linkong's five fingers.
Both Wen Yi and Ma Jingjie are very concerned about this issue, awaiting the response from Oren Wiggins
With a warmth in his eyes, Fang Lin Kong slightly lowered his head. He said nothing more. Instead, he silently spoke to his future self: "This is the reason you regret not seizing the opportunity! Qingya is indeed a very understanding and good girl."
Upon entering the armory, Wen Yi and Ma Jingjie could not help but exclaim. As boys of this age, even if they are not weapon enthusiasts, they have at least played a bit of Counter-Strike. They possess some knowledge about various light and heavy weapons.
Oh! I haven't finished showcasing all the poses yet! Moreover, there are still several variations that I haven't demonstrated. How could he just run away? What a truly insecure fellow
