Chapter 266: Chapter 266: A Ferocious and Aggressive Family (4th update)
The ghoul’s mouth curled into a mocking smile.
“You actually think you can take me down with a frying pan?”
“This is nothing short of a grave insult to a warrior! I…”.
The rest of the thought was abruptly cut off.
Because An Yan, holding the frying pan in her hand, made a few gestures in the air towards the ghoul flying toward her, and then, as if playing baseball, swung the pan fiercely as it charged at her.
Bang! A muffled sound.
The frying pan, refined by Xue An, was incredibly hard, and An Yan’s handling was skilled, hitting the ghoul directly on its head.
The ghoul felt a darkness before its eyes and thudded to the ground.
But its combat training was indeed commendable; the moment it touched the ground, it attempted to leap up and escape.
However, at that moment, An Yan stepped forward, placed her foot on the ghoul’s head, pressed with the pan, and commanded sharply, “Don’t move!”
The ghoul truly didn’t dare to move, freezing in place.
Shen Nan watched the scene, dumbfounded.
She originally thought Xue An was formidable enough.
But she never expected her Sister An Yan to be even more ferocious and valiant.
It’s just that the weapon was somewhat peculiar.
At this time, Xue Xiang and Nian Nian also ran over.
“Bad guy, how dare you attack Mom, we’ll beat you up!”
Xue Xiang and Nian Nian raised their tiny fists and began pummeling down.
The ghoul was initially unconcerned, thinking what strength could two little girls have?
But to its surprise, Xue Xiang and Nian Nian, their bodies strengthened by the elixir, were incredibly powerful.
Each punch carried the force of several dozen pounds.
Soon, they reduced the ghoul’s face to a battered mess.
Especially Nian Nian, who had somehow found a mini frying pan and began to hammer away at the ghoul’s head.
Clang, clang, clang! It even had a rhythmic beat!
Shen Nan gasped in shock.
This whole family… seemed very fierce!
When Xue An returned and saw this, he couldn’t help but feel a mixture of laughter and tears.
An Yan, with a triumphant look, said, “Husband, look, the three of us are impressive, aren’t we?”
Xue An nodded, “Not bad, but this guy has already run away, haven’t you noticed?”
“What?” An Yan exclaimed and quickly looked down.
Sure enough.
The ghoul had used a life-saving secret technique to escape just now.
“Ah! It’s so irritating, I thought I had caught a big villain!” An Yan said somewhat dejectedly.
Xue An smiled, “It’s okay, it’s just run off. A bunch of petty evildoers, nothing to fuss over!”
While Xue An comforted his wife, he casually waved his hand.
A stream of sword qi shot across the sky and disappeared.
At that moment.
The figure of the ghoul appeared on a street more than ten miles away from the Shen Family.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still filled with fear.
He had felt Xue An’s returning aura and hurriedly fled.
Otherwise, he felt that he would have definitely died there!
Luckily… he managed to escape!
While the ghoul was reveling in its escape,
a beam of sword light flew by, skimming over the ghoul’s neck.
Bemused, he blinked his eyes, and then his head soared into the sky as his corpse thudded to the ground.
This horrifying and bloody spectacle also caused the people on the street to scream incessantly.
After the ghoul’s corpse was brought back,
Griffin, dressed in a black suit, stood silently beside the body.
The atmosphere in the room was oppressively terrifying.
After a long while, Griffin finally said, “Take his body to the basement!”
Hearing this order, many people turned pale, their eyes filled with extreme terror, but they still bowed their heads and said, “Yes!”
The house Griffin now resided in was located at the very edge of Hollywood, and it was a detached villa surrounded by towering trees, which made it look particularly sinister.
The basement was specially reinforced, such that even missiles would have a hard time penetrating it straight away.
On the floor of this basement, a pattern similar to a six-pointed star was drawn with a strangely colored paint.
The ghoul’s body was placed in the center of the six-pointed star.
Besides that, in other corners of the star, there were also bodies or fresh blood laid out.
Griffin knelt on the ground with a respectful demeanor, muttering to himself.
As he chanted in a low voice, his complexion gradually turned pale, and the basement grew increasingly colder.
Suddenly.
After a violent fluctuation, a cloud of black mist appeared above the six-pointed star.
Within the black mist emerged a towering and fierce Cerberus.
One of its heads lowered to eat the ghoul’s corpse, while another spoke arrogantly.
“Ye demons, for what purpose have you summoned me?”
Griffin, overwhelmed with joy, knelt and crawled on the ground, shivering as he said, “Respected Cerberus, the demon race welcomes your arrival!”
Cerberus snorted coldly, “Such meager offerings to summon me to the mortal realm? It is insufficient for my consumption! If you cannot provide me with a perfect explanation, I shall devour you right now!”
Griffin quickly replied, “Lord Cerberus, the reason for summoning you is out of utmost necessity!”
He then recounted the events that had taken place before.
He particularly emphasized the Night Devil Empress and Xue An.
After listening to Griffin’s introduction, the sinister laughter of Cerberus echoed in the basement.
“The Night Devil Empress? Haha, probably an eastern Immortal’s legacy, but if I could consume her, it would be of great benefit to me, as for that Xue An, he’s just an ordinary Huaxia Cultivator, I fear him not!”
Griffin’s face lit up with excitement, “Lord Cerberus, I hope you will subjugate the Night Devil Empress and leave her body to me!”
“Hehe, that’s easily said, but I am very hungry now and need a lot of blood to eat!” said Cerberus.
“Your anger, my lord, I have prepared everything!” Griffin’s eyes sparkled with joy.
The ghoul, having the bloodline of the Dark Races, could still be used as a sacrifice to summon the gods of the demon realm even after death.
But usually, it would be used to summon some ordinary lesser Demon Gods.
Who could have expected that this time, they would summon the watcher of hell, Cerberus himself!
This naturally filled Griffin with overwhelming happiness.
He was confident that with Cerberus by his side, the Night Devil Empress, including Xue An, as well as the two dark overlords of the City of Sin, would all bow at his feet!
In the following two days,
the number of Bounty Hunters trying to ambush Xue An increased significantly.
Yet Xue An had become laid back.
Because An Yan had found something even more entertaining than playing video games.
That was using a flat pan to hit the bounty hunters that popped up from nowhere.
Like now.
Xue An was sitting on the sofa in the backyard, yawning out of boredom.
Meanwhile, An Yan was having a blast “whack-a-moling” in the lawn of the backyard.
To be exact, this “mole” was a ninja assassin from Country R.
He was also among the top listed persons on the bounty rankings of the City of Sin.
But at this moment, the assassin was nearing a breakdown.
This backyard seemed to have become his eternal nightmare, as no matter how he tried to escape, he couldn’t leave the yard.
He didn’t know that Xue An had sealed the space around this area, rendering all his escape techniques ineffective here.
And every time the assassin’s head popped out of the ground, a flat pan would accurately fly towards him.
In the end, the assassin came out of the earth, gasping for breath as he lay on the grass, “No… no more, just kill me if you will! I… I can’t escape anymore!”
