foreigner's journey

Chapter 1220 Demon
Under the gradually darkening evening sky, a graceful figure flew quickly between the tall buildings.

The ghost spider was filled with anger and murderous intent, leaping between the buildings at its fastest speed.

The spider sense running at full power seemed to have reached a new level, subtly guiding her in the most correct direction.

At this time, Gwen has already changed into the Ghost Spider suit, and the biological cable fluid in the spider web launcher is also full.

She was filled with rage now, not just at Matt Murdock and the Kingpin, but at herself.

The moment Murdoch broke in and took Heather away, Gwen did not hesitate to use the power of the Ghost Spider in front of her old enemy, without any intention of hiding her identity.

She was like an agile female leopard. She turned over and pounced on Murdoch, who had just grabbed Heather and had not yet left the door. At the same time, she turned her wrist and shot spider silk towards Heather, trying to pull him back.

The blind stick was thrown out with extreme precision and collided with the spider silk shot by Gwen.

Then the Red Ninjas of the Hand rushed in from the windows and doors, holding samurai swords, sickles and iron rulers, and launched a fearless attack on Gwen.

Gwen hesitated slightly when she attacked back. She had never killed anyone before, even if her opponent was a super villain.

Out of caution about taking human lives, she subconsciously restrained her attack and did not launch a fatal attack on the ninjas.

This gave the Hand ninjas a chance to stop Gwen.

These ninjas fought one after another and used themselves as human shields to block Gwen's punches and kicks, while restricting Gwen's range of movement. Murdoch took the opportunity to escape with Heather.

Seeing Heather being taken away, Gwen knew that with Murdoch's cruel character, he would definitely torture Heather inhumanely and eventually kill her cruelly. The anxiety, confusion and anger in her heart finally overwhelmed the integrity and calmness that her policeman father had taught her.

For the first time since his debut, Ghost Spider no longer suppresses his power that far exceeds the limits of ordinary people.

Gwen narrowly avoided the vicious short knife that attacked from the side, supported herself on the ground with her hands, and used her two slender and muscular legs to perform a violent spinning kick. All the red ninjas who were kicked had their bodies burst, and then turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.

These red ninjas are 'blessed' by a vicious spell, and when they are killed they miraculously turn into ash and dust to prevent their true identities from being revealed, and are then resurrected by their companions using secret techniques.

Regardless of not wearing a mask, Gwen jumped out of the rental window. She didn't even need to glance to sense Murdoch running on the street with Heather not far away.

Thanks to the Hand's habit of "clearing the streets" before taking action, there were no pedestrians on the streets at this time, which meant that Gwen did not have to worry about the battle affecting innocent passers-by.

Without hesitation, Gwen leapt down, and a few shots of spider silk carried her towards Murdoch.

Murdoch was carrying a burden, and he had already thrown his blind stick as a hidden weapon, so he could only fight Gwen with his bare hands. Within ten seconds of the fight, Murdoch was hit by a punch and a kick, and was almost fainted on the spot.

Thanks to the Red Ninjas who were lying in ambush nearby who swarmed over and stopped Gwen, he had the chance to escape in a hurry.

After dealing with all the Red Ninjas that blocked her way, Gwen had temporarily lost track of Murdock and Heather.

She stood in the alley where a lot of ashes were floating, her chest heaving violently and her fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

Kingpin! Murdoch! Gwen is not stupid, and she quickly guessed their intention of taking Heather away.

As a novelist employed by the Hero Association, Heather cannot hide from Murdoch, the ninja king who is good at collecting intelligence. It just so happens that Jin Jin has declared war on the Hero Association at this time. They captured Heather most likely to torture her to get the secret of the identity of the high-level people in the Hero Association.

Trying her best to calm herself down, Gwen returned to the rental house, took out the spider suit from her bag and put it on. She also charged the web shooters and then chased in the direction where her spider sense was the strongest.

Night fell, and the girl's heart was surrounded by the flames of anger and the coldness of fear.

She was afraid of losing Heather, both as her best friend and as... Gwen felt heartbroken at the thought of Heather being beaten and tortured by the villains like Murdoch and Kingpin.

She now deeply regretted why she had suppressed her own strength and shown mercy to these villains.

Stupid! Heather is right, these villains are not worthy of sympathy, and their best ending is to die completely so that ordinary people can have peace and tranquility.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
The ghost spider continued to swing on its silk thread and finally arrived near a fifteen-story apartment building deep in Hell's Kitchen.

The night sky was shrouded in dark clouds, with thunder rumbling in the clouds from time to time, and the howling cold wind was mixed with moisture and earthy smells.

Soon, raindrops began to fall from the sky, and the rain quickly got heavier.

In the rain, the ghost spider used shadows to quickly climb the slippery walls and quickly locked onto the outermost window on the fourteenth floor.

Through the window, she could vaguely see a figure sitting in the dark room with his head lowered.

There was no way she would mistake that figure, it was Heather!

Gwen opened the window and jumped into the room. Before she could get close to Heather, the lights in the room suddenly came on.

Murdoch carried the cane on his shoulder and supported Heather's lowered head leisurely. Four black-clad ninjas with weapons stood in the spacious room. Hundreds of ninjas also appeared quietly outside the window. They were bathed in the rain and stood silently on the streets, rooftops, and tops of lampposts.

"Look, who is this?"

Murdoch gently ruffled Heather's slightly curly black hair with a wanton and arrogant smile on his face:
"Although it's a bit redundant, I still have to ask as a matter of routine - Spider-Man, are you here to save this guy?"

"Get your dirty hands off his head!"

Even though he was surrounded by a large number of killer ninjas, Ghost Spider showed no fear, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable anger:
"What did you do to him!"

She could see that Heather was tied tightly to the chair, her head lowered and her face invisible, but blood was dripping down.

"I have to admit, this guy is braver than I thought. He is just an ordinary person with a weak body, but he would rather be tortured until he faints than call you to lure you over."

Murdoch patted Heather's unresponsive head.
"What a pity! Even if he didn't call, you still came here. Is this foolish love?
So, I like to deal with righteous people like you, because you are so easy to understand and your weaknesses are obvious at a glance."

His tone turned cold and emotionless:
"Get down on your knees, crawl over here and lick my shoes. Or I'll break this kid's neck right in front of you!"

As he said this, he put his hand on the back of Heather's neck, and with just a slight force he could easily break his cervical vertebrae.

Murdoch is not only a man of extraordinary skill, but also a master of human weaknesses. He has dealt with such righteous people more than once, and the outcome is never beyond his expectations.

Today, he will completely subdue this ghost spider and turn her into the most powerful blade and loyal servant under his command.

However, Murdoch did not see what he wanted to see.

The ghost spider exhaled slowly and assumed an attacking stance.

"Are you crazy? Or do you think I'm kidding?"

Murdoch frowned and pinched Heather's neck bones with his fingers, making a slight cracking sound. "I'll say it one last time. Kneel down! Crawl over here..."

"He once told me that if he was taken hostage and used to threaten me, then there should be no hesitation or delay.

Any concessions will only make the situation worse, until everything is lost."

Ghost Spider clenched his fists, his voice trembling slightly:
"I will not agree to any of your requests. The only thing I have to do is to defeat you and rescue him. If you really fail, you will face my endless revenge and pursuit."

Murdoch's lips pursed up, he could tell how serious Gwen's tone was at this moment.

What a joke! Shouldn't these foolish righteous people kneel down and let me do whatever I want, crying and begging me to release the hostages, as they did in the past?
What the hell! If this happened, what he would be facing would no longer be a harmless and delicious little white rabbit, but a predator that was as powerful as him or even more powerful!
Murdoch's expression changed several times, and finally he grinned:
“…Hehe, I see. The righteous little Spider-Man has a not-so-righteous little advisor boyfriend, and he’s become smarter.

In this case, let’s play a more interesting game…”

Murdoch suddenly blew a whistle, and the surrounding ninjas immediately pounced on Gwen.

Gwen was well prepared. The spider silk shot out from her wrist and tied up the nearest ninja. She swung it like a meteor hammer and temporarily forced back the attacker.

Then she saw Murdoch grab Heather and throw him and the chair towards the window on the other side.

Bang! The glass shattered, and the unconscious Heather fell rapidly downwards with a large amount of glass shards.

"No--!!"

Gwen struggled to push away the ninjas who were blocking her way and shot spider silk towards Heather.

The spider silk was like a small hand that was trying to open up and catch the falling Heather.

But at the same time, Murdoch pulled out the sword from his blind stick and slashed at the spider silk with wild laughter.

With a flash of the knife, the spider silk was cut off cleanly, and Gwen's hope was also cut off.

Boom! Heather and her chair slammed heavily into the roof of the garage downstairs after crossing a height of several dozen meters. Then, a dozen ninjas holding sharp blades jumped in from the hole at the top, vowing to kill them all.

"Tsk tsk tsk, at this height, even an iron man would be smashed into pieces, not to mention that guy is just a weak flesh and blood body. Don't worry, the ninjas of the Hand will make sure that he won't have any signs of life left. I can even cut him into a hundred pieces and mail one piece to you every day as a gift."

Murdoch pointed his staff sword at Gwen from a distance, his voice as slimy as a snake, trying to use words to provoke Gwen and make her lose control of her emotions.

A violent beast is easier to deal with than a calm and intelligent one.

Gwen was trembling all over, her tears soaking her mask. All she wanted now was to destroy and kill the devilish man in front of her.

"Yes, yes, that's it, my dear little Spider. Your anger will be the best catalyst, I will guide you on the right path..."

Murdoch licked his lips, bent over and slowly approached Gwen with a sharp blade in hand. At the same time, he made a gesture to the surrounding ninjas, indicating that they should attack Gwen together.

Just when the life-and-death battle was about to break out, a shrill scream suddenly came from the bottom of the building.

A red ninja, covered in blood, struggled to climb out of the hole on the roof of the carport, and shouted in fear to his colleagues and leader on the roof: "Help! Help--"

Before he could finish his words, a pitch-black metal claw suddenly shot out from the dark hole, grabbed the red ninja's head and pulled him back into the darkness.

Then the sound of flesh being torn and liquid spraying was heard from the cavity, and soon it returned to silence.

Murdoch frowned. What happened?
Om-!
Two scarlet lights suddenly appeared in the dark hole on top of the carport.

Like the eyes of a devil.
