Chapter 26 - [Hadouken] and [Hyakushiki: Oniyaki!!]

However, things didn't go quite as she imagined.

One of the gangsters pulled out a pistol and aimed it right at the "ignorant villager's" forehead.

"Get lost! You hear me? One more step forward, and you're dead!"

Hearing the threat, Xu Dan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh in his heart. His eyes were sharp—he could always see straight through a person.

And from the look in that man's eyes, he could tell immediately—this guy was still a rookie. He had never killed anyone before.

There's a fundamental difference between someone who's killed and someone who hasn't.

A person's aura changes after they've taken a life—like their very presence is warped by a "killing wave."

"You're telling me to get lost? Kid, have you ever even fired a gun? Just playing gangster, huh?"

That single line landed like an invisible strike, stabbing straight into the hearts of everyone around!

The world isn't that big—how many people do you think they've actually killed?

No way all the people here were "elite killers." Arrest missions like this were always carried out by disposable foot soldiers—the cannon fodder!

So, more than half of the men present were green.

They dared to act tough, to use the name of the gang to indulge themselves—but to be true villains?They didn't have the guts.

Disgusting.

Pathetic.

"Stop! Don't take another step!"

The young man shouted again, then fired twice at the ground—bang, bang!

He was clearly trying to prove he had the courage to shoot, to show he wasn't bluffing.

But his hands were trembling. He accidentally fired a third shot—proof of his panic.

Xu Dan smiled faintly. To them, that smile must have looked mocking, almost insulting.

But he wasn't mocking anyone—it was simply the smile of someone who had just found his opening.

As soon as the gun barrel tilted away from him, that tiny moment of misdirection gave him his window to act!

Sure, the guy who fired was useless—but a bullet doesn't care who it hits, and Xu Dan wasn't made of steel.One stray shot could still blow a hole through his head!

In that instant, he gathered all the strength in his body into his legs—and exploded forward like lightning.

He'd use speed to crush their reaction time!

And it worked. His enhanced body's burst power was astonishing.

In his perception, the world slowed to a crawl.

Ten meters vanished in two steps. Xu Dan's iron hands shot out like eagle talons, snatching straight for the man's gun!

The man hadn't even reacted before the pistol was torn from his grasp!

A real firearm—Xu Dan had never held one before.

It was heavier than he'd imagined, but the weight… felt good.

Bang!!

Even though it was his first time with a gun, Xu Dan didn't hesitate to pull the trigger.

Shooting these people didn't give him the slightest hint of guilt.

One shot—one kill!

The bullet punched straight through the man's heart.

Xu Dan turned smoothly, hoisting the dead man up by his shoulders and using the body as a shield.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunfire burst from all sides. Xu Dan emptied his weapon too—his clip clicking dry after several shots.

Aside from the third bullet, which missed, the rest found their marks—each one dropping an enemy where they stood.

Everything happened too fast. Xu Dan's movements were a blur, a seamless chain of speed, precision, and instinct—he was fighting like a born warrior!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Now the others finally realized what was happening. They pulled their guns and opened fire at Xu Dan's position!

But their bullets only shredded the corpse in his hands—turning their own comrade's body into a mangled mess.

Handguns didn't have the power to punch through a hundred-and-fifty-pound human shield.

Xu Dan, however, did have something that could pierce through.

A hundred and fifty pounds? Captain America could toss that like nothing.

And Xu Dan—stronger than Captain America—found it even easier.

He lifted the corpse in front of him, then pulled both hands back. In his palms, a faint white light began to gather, humming with energy.

"Hadouken!!"

It was the special move from The King of Fighters that he'd drawn—[Hadouken], a devastating energy strike!

The blast shot forward, punching through the corpse-shield and exploding into the crowd!

In KOF, those fighters were as famous as Marvel's superheroes—how could their techniques possibly be weak?

This was Ryu's signature move!

These lowlifes had never seen anything like it.

They didn't even see the pale white energy sphere forming—they were still thinking of rushing in and finishing Xu Dan off!

They never expected his attack to come first—

—and strike like a storm.

The Hadouken detonated in their midst. The first man it hit had his flesh torn open, killed instantly!

The force of impact launched his body backward, smashing into several others with bone-crushing power!

Seeing the results, Xu Dan immediately dropped his corpse-shield, crouched low, and rolled to the left—closing in on the smaller group of enemies!

Humans naturally huddled together for safety; in the gunfire just now, they'd split into two clusters.One group had been wrecked by the Hadouken, dazed and disoriented.

The other group was still aiming their guns, looking for an opening—

—but their bullets only tore more holes into their own fallen comrades, turning them into bloody sieves.

One word—brutal.

But for that poor corpse, there would be no justice, no payback.

Xu Dan rolled right up to the first man of the second group.

Without hesitation, he swung a heavy hook upward—crack! The man's jaw shattered instantly, and he dropped unconscious before he could even scream.

Xu Dan's attacks were a storm—swift, merciless, relentless!

In his heart, there was no such thing as "steady combat" or "wearing down the opponent."

He fought for one thing only—find the moment, strike in one explosive burst, and end it!

Strike once with full force—hesitation brings weakness!

That was his current battle creed—at least, for now.

Since the man in front was already down, Xu Dan shifted instantly—his fists turning into claws as he grabbed the man's neck. Using him like a weapon, he smashed the body backward into another thug!

The man's skull was so hard it was like rock—but the impact crushed the other's face completely, caving it in with a wet crunch.

No doubt about it—dead on impact.

Xu Dan didn't waste even 0.1 seconds.By the time the body hit the ground, he was already moving again.

His right hand slammed down toward the ground—

"[Hyakushiki: Oniyaki]!!"

A deep crimson flame burst from his hand, roaring across the ground like a living serpent, sweeping straight toward the remaining enemies!

This was no ordinary fire.

Those hit didn't burn first—their bodies hurt.

Agony hit like something from the depths of hell, searing their very souls!

"AAAAHHH!!!"

The men screamed in unison, writhing, their bodies convulsing in pain that seemed to come from somewhere deeper than flesh.

A pain that came from the spirit. From hell itse
