From American comics to becoming the mastermind behind the scenes

After Natasha left.

Matt quickly interjected, "We've encountered several waves of blood slaves in Hell's Kitchen. If the blood slaves spread outwards, we're in a bad situation."

Nick Fury nodded and said, "We must find the people who make blood slaves as soon as possible. I know some vampire gathering places; you can go and gather information..."

The members of the Defenders looked at the bar in front of them.

"This is the vampire gathering place Nick Fury mentioned. I've even had drinks here before," Jessica Jones said, looking puzzled. "It feels no different from any other bar."

"Let's go in and take a look." Luke Cage, as the main tank, took the lead and pushed the door open to enter.

The crowd followed closely behind, and all they could see was a Taoist priest dressed in a blue robe standing among a group of vampires whose fates were unknown, carrying someone in his hand.

The man's sunglasses were smashed, his katana was broken, and he was covered in wounds.

Clearly, they just had a big fight in the bar!

"Interesting. If I take your bloodline, my little thing can come out during the day too."

"That's him," Frank said, guns in both hands, recognizing the man in blue the instant he saw him. "It's Zhao Guizhen!"

"Oh?" Zhao Guizhen frowned, his eyes flashing crimson. He tossed the Blade Warrior to Madam Gao and the other four fingers who were following behind him. "You know me, so it seems you have some connection with the Divine Spear Bureau. In that case, I can't let you leave alive."

Zhao Guizhen's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he shouted, "Kill them!"

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Madam Gao and the other three immediately joined forces and attacked the four men.

The four men were locked in combat.

Despite his superhuman senses, Matt's fighting skills were completely overwhelmed when facing Mrs. Goose.

"Damn it, I know exactly where her next attack will come from, but I just can't stop her!" Matt thought anxiously, but the other three were not as anxious as Matt was.

Luke Cage's super-strong skin allows him to completely ignore enemy attacks; his overwhelming power is enough to injure even the Hand's leader with a single touch.

Of the four, Frank performed the best, constantly changing his weapon usage to suppress his opponent.

"A bunch of useless trash. You're already having such a hard time with just four worms? Get out of here!" Zhao Guizhen sneered.

The four immediately broke away, even at the risk of injury, to retreat.

Matt stood there dumbfounded: "How has it been adjusted? It's so obedient?"

Madam Gao felt a pang of bitterness in her heart upon hearing this; you had no idea what had actually happened.

Compared to the fear Zhao Guizhen brought, what was the little suffering they endured on Kunlun Mountain? Every day they saw the corpses in the tempering village that Zhao Guizhen had wrought, and the way he looked at the four of them.

Madam Gao was worried that Zhao Guizhen might suddenly say, "One corpse isn't enough," and then kill the remaining four of them, turning them into those terrifying, inhuman creatures.

Therefore, the Hand is now very obedient from top to bottom.

They were afraid of angering Zhao Guizhen.

But the most terrifying thing wasn't the corpse, but...

Madam Gao swallowed hard and subconsciously looked at Zhao Guizhen.

Zhao Guizhen unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a strong and explosive physique, with twisted black shadows moving all over his body.

The dark shadows stretched up the skin, forming human outlines, their features distorted as if they were wailing.

But their cries of agony were trapped inside Zhao Guizhen's body.

Seven, a full seven souls, constantly wailing, were trapped inside Zhao Guizhen's body, suffering pain, wailing, and being tormented.

"Let me show you my Seven Fiends Body Formation!" Zhao Guizhen revealed a playful smile, and his figure vanished instantly.

The next second, he appeared in front of Matt, raised his hand and threw a punch. The vengeful spirit twisted and swirled like black water towards Zhao Guizhen's fist, and a wailing human face emerged from the back of his hand, letting out an unsettling sob.

Matt didn't even have time to react before Zhao Guizhen punched him, sending him flying and slamming his body against the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"The second one!" Zhao Guizhen clasped his fists together and moved again, rushing towards Jessica Jones.

Just as he was about to hit Jessica Jones, Luke Cage immediately pulled Jessica Jones away and shielded her with his body.

"Oh? You want to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?" Zhao Guizhen was extremely excited. "In that case, I'll slowly, bit by bit, kill you all!"

Luke Cage turned to face Zhao Guizhen and suddenly felt an indescribable sensation coursing through his body. The next second, Luke Cage opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He knelt on the ground, trembling.

"It's so cold, so cold. What happened? Am I hurt?"

Zhao Guizhen, with his hands behind his back, laughed and said, "Do you think my Seven Fiends Body Gathering can only improve my physique? The so-called fiendish energy entering the body and corroding the five internal organs—can you withstand a punch with twenty years' worth of internal energy?"

"There are only two of you left, so let's finish you off together!" Zhao Guizhen's gaze swept over the two of them.

Frank sneered, "Bring it on!"

Zhao Guizhen immediately stepped forward.

Frank pulled out his submachine gun and fired continuously.

Zhao Guizhen dodged left and right, maneuvering and shifting to avoid all the bullets.

"Is that all you've got?" Zhao Guizhen sneered.

"No," Frank smiled, "Jessica!"

Jessica immediately threw a table at Zhao Guizhen.

Zhao Guizhen snorted coldly and slammed his palm down on the table.

However, he failed to notice that several grenades and smoke bombs were strapped under the table.

Frank immediately dropped his submachine gun and drew his pistol, firing a series of bursts.

Smoke grenades and hand grenades explode immediately upon impact with bullets.

Zhao Guizhen reacted extremely quickly, dodging the explosion the instant it occurred and grabbing a Hand Association ninja to act as a human cushion.

Flames roared, countless shrapnel flew, and the entire bar was instantly reduced to ruins.

Zhao Guizhen dropped the Hand Society ninja, who was already dead beyond any doubt, and saw that the four members of the Defenders Alliance had already escaped. He immediately snorted coldly.

"You guys got away fast this time!"

……

In the darkness, Jessica carried Luke Cage and Daredevil, running wildly alongside Frank until she was sure no pursuers were coming.

"Damn it, what's that guy doing here? Doesn't that bald black man know who he is?!" Jessica Jones cursed.

"Huh?!" Luke Cage mumbled a reply, still half asleep. "I'm not bald, I'm just bald."

"I wasn't talking about you! Shut up!"

"Okay." Luke Cage fainted again.

Frank's heart pounded: "I'm afraid he doesn't know either, and he has no reason to do this."

"Fuck!" Jessica punched a hole in the wall. "What are we supposed to do now?"

"We have to go save him," Frank said, his brow furrowed. "When we went in just now, we heard him say that if we could get the blood from the person he had, his treasure would appear during the day."

Although I don't know what he said, I have a feeling it's not a good thing!
