The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 57, The Daywalker!
early morning.

The rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, the sun rose, and the morning light shone brightly.

Forest hill.

Selena stood in front of the balcony with the curtains tightly closed, took a deep breath, and suddenly pulled the curtains open.

Morning light streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, enveloping Selena.

Selena's deep-seated fear of sunlight caused her to instinctively raise her hand to shield her eyes.

The imagined excruciating pain of being burned by flames did not occur.

There was only a long-lost, gentle warmth.

Selena gazed at the light filtering through her fingers, then slowly lowered her hand, letting the sunlight fall on her face.

She stared unblinkingly at the rising sun on the horizon, her icy blue eyes gradually welling up with mist, condensing into tears.

After centuries of darkness, she has finally broken free from the curse and is witnessing the true sunrise once more, basking safely in its light.

"Leon..."

She suddenly turned her head and looked at Li Xingzhou, who had brought all of this to her.

Li Xingzhou smiled and nodded slightly to her:

"Congratulations, Selena, you are now a legendary 'Daywalker'."

Selena bit her lip, then suddenly threw herself into Li Xingzhou's arms, hugging his neck tightly, and said in a trembling voice:
"Thank you, thank you... It's you who gave me a new life..."

As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him almost passionately, even disregarding that the curtains were still wide open, and began to unbutton his shirt while kissing him passionately.

While responding to her passionate kiss, Li Xingzhou raised his palm and grabbed at the curtains from a distance, releasing his inner energy to slowly close them.

Then, one by one, the clothes slipped off and fell to the ground...

……

in the afternoon.

Wearing a Spider-Man suit but without a mask, Gwen sat on the railing of a skyscraper rooftop, dangling her legs and leisurely eating a hot dog and drinking an ice-cold cola.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She put on her earphones, answered, and soon heard Li Xingzhou's voice coming through the earphones:
Good afternoon, beautiful Spider-Woman.

Gwen rolled her eyes and said irritably:

"So, you finally have time to call me today?"

"Sorry, I've been very busy these past few days."

"So busy that you don't even have time to call me or send me a text message?"

"My mistake. But as you know, I'm actually a witcher out of hobby, and lately I've been busy fighting werewolves and vampires..."

"Really?" Gwen curled her lip, deliberately pressing, "So, how's your demon-hunting progress these past few days?"

If Li Xingzhou says the results are good, she will ask to see his hunting spoils. If he makes excuses or says he got nothing, well, that proves that everything he said was just an excuse!

Perhaps these past few days, this despicable playboy has been busy with different women, having so much fun that he has completely forgotten about her.

"The results... are quite fruitful."

Ok?
Li Xingzhou's answer surprised Gwen slightly:
"You really hunted down werewolves and vampires?"

"Of course. Not only did we kill some, but we also captured quite a few alive. Beautiful Miss Gwen, would you be interested in taking a look at my captured werewolves and vampires?"

"Of course!"

Gwen readily agreed.

She had heard countless stories about werewolves and vampires, and even watched many related movies. But even after becoming a superhero, she had never actually seen a real werewolf or vampire. After Li Xingzhou gave her the address, Gwen devoured a hot dog in a few bites, chug down her cola, put on her mask, and leaped off the skyscraper.

……

Half an hour later.

Inside a safe house deep inside an abandoned subway tunnel.

Gwen stared in amazement at the enormous, red-haired werewolf hanging from the ceiling:
Are all werewolves this big?

Li Xingzhou explained with a smile:

“Not all werewolves are this large. After transforming, their standing height is generally around 2.2 to 2.3 meters. This werewolf, which is about 2.5 meters tall, is a rare mutated species among werewolves.”

Gwen, skilled and daring, circled the unconscious werewolf a few times, even poking its dark red fur with her finger. "How strong is this werewolf?"

"Hmm, if I go all out, I could probably flip over a small car?"

"Is that all the strength you have?"

Gwen curled her lip, indicating that this guy was all show and no substance.

She's only 168cm tall. Compared to this werewolf, she's like a grown man compared to a first-grade student. Yet she can easily flip a small car over with one hand. In terms of strength, wouldn't she be able to easily beat the werewolf?
"Don't underestimate this mutated werewolf."

Li Xingzhou said:

"While its strength is not as great as yours, it possesses some strange abilities. For example, it can unleash a mental shock that will cause you to be briefly stunned if you do not have strong enough mental resistance. Its claws can also emit a dark red energy blade that can extend its attack range by about five inches, and its claws are also cursed with black magic. Once you are scratched by it, your body and mind will be continuously weakened."

"A black magic curse?"

Gwen asked in confusion:
Does magic also exist?

Li Xingzhou shrugged:
"This world has dark creatures like vampires and werewolves, as well as superhumans and mutants, so why can't magic actually exist?"

Gwen said with great interest:
"As a witcher who does it out of interest, do you know magic?"

"I have a rudimentary understanding of magical tricks. Currently, I mainly rely on props to achieve them."

"for example?"

"Such as this."

Li Xingzhou took out a thumb-sized werewolf skeleton statue from his pocket and threw it on the ground. The werewolf skeleton statue grew in the wind and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a 2.2-meter-tall skeletal werewolf with black and red bones and dark red flames burning in its eye sockets.

Okay, this is actually a demonic puppet artifact from the cultivation world of another world. It belongs to a different power system than the magic in this world. However, to laymen, there is no difference. They are all unscientific elements that are difficult to understand.

Gwen stared in shock at the werewolf skeleton, which, under Li Xingzhou's mental guidance, was squatting on the ground like a puppy, shaking its head at her, and stammered:
"It...it's alive! Does it even have consciousness? Like a lich in a fantasy novel?"

"No, it is not a living thing, nor does it have self-awareness; it is merely a skeletal puppet powered by magical energy."

"This guy looks so evil!"

Gwen looked at Li Xingzhou with a strange expression again:
"You, who can wield such evil magical artifacts, could you possibly be a super villain attempting to conquer the world?"

"Conquering the world? No, no, no, I have absolutely no interest in that."

Li Xingzhou joked:

"But I am very interested in conquering you, Gwen."

"Screw you."

Gwen rolled her eyes at him, her cheeks flushing slightly, and quickly changed the subject:
"Where are the vampires?"

"follow me."

Li Xingzhou snapped his fingers, and the skeletal werewolf quickly shrank back to the size of a thumb-sized figurine, which he put in his pocket. Then, he led Gwen to a glass door.
