If Holman hadn't launched a worldwide manhunt for Gao Jianfei and laid a massive dragnet in New York, Gao Jianfei certainly wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure as killing people indiscriminately.
In fact, Brian should strongly condemn Holman and Dale, the two "culprits".
However, Brian is a politician. And if it weren't for this incident that ousted Obama, he wouldn't have risen to power so quickly. Besides, once the bomb explodes, Brian will have achieved his first major accomplishment since taking office. After dealing with Gao Jianfei, if he makes some moving statements, his position will be very secure. He might even receive strong support and affection from the American people.
In conclusion, Brian not only did not blame Holman and Dale, but also stated that he would do everything in his power to eliminate the murderous demon, and asked 'Lord Holman' and 'Lord Dale' not to worry.
At 5 p.m., thanks to the extremely high efficiency of American engineers and bomb experts, dozens of tons of explosives were finally buried deep in the "devil's land," and every inch of the land was completely placed!
Then, under the cover of helicopters, snipers, and even a few fighter jets, the US military began to withdraw from the area en masse.
Residents in the vicinity who may be affected by the explosion should be relocated!
In the den of ghosts.
Gao Jianfei was, of course, fully aware of the current situation!
"Tsk tsk, so much explosives!" Although Gao Jianfei believed that hiding in the ghost den would pose no problem, he was still a little apprehensive. He couldn't help but ask the intelligent program, "By the way, if I hide in the ghost den, will I be affected by the powerful explosion?"
"Dear user, please don't worry about that. Your Ghost Nest doesn't belong to Earth. Even if Earth is destroyed, or your so-called 2012 doomsday arrives, as long as you hide in the Ghost Nest, no natural disaster or Earth explosion can harm you. Of course, if Earth really does explode, you'll be stuck in the Ghost Nest forever. Once you leave, you might be directly crushed by a black hole or vortex in space. Hehe." The intelligent program made a harmless joke.
"Damn! I don't want the Earth to be destroyed! I want world peace!" Gao Jianfei spat. However, he was no longer worried.
At 6 o'clock, the US military completely withdrew to a safe area.
However, this massive explosion could not be concealed, and Brian's "sex" was broadcast live to the entire United States.
In the sky, dozens of cameras filmed the "Devil's Land." The silent "Devil's Land" had already been planted with bombs. Destruction was imminent.
The scene shifts to the White House, the Oval Office. Brian delivers a stern speech… First, he breaks down in tears, expressing his condolences for the sacrifices of American soldiers in recent days and condemning former President Obama's mismanagement. Then, he declares that America is a democratic, powerful, and great nation, and will not yield to any terrorist force, vowing to fight to the bitter end! Finally, he assures the American people that with a simple press of the remote control in his hand, the evil terrorists will meet their demise!
All of America, every citizen, was gathered in front of their television sets. Meanwhile, people around the world watched the live broadcast online.
"Destroy all that is evil, terrifying, inhuman, and ugly!" Brian roared, pressing the red button on the remote control!
The scene immediately shifts to the 'Devil's Land'.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The deafening explosions were like thunder! The earth trembled! An area spanning several kilometers was completely undisturbed! Earth, rocks, and sediment shot into the sky!
The visual effect of this explosion was just like the Big Bang! It was breathtaking!
No one of sound mind would doubt that terrorists could survive such an explosion!
"Yay!" Brian placed the remote control on his desk and high-fived the finance minister, the foreign affairs spokesperson, the military general, and others!
"Finally wiped out!" "Finally wiped out!" Cheers echoed throughout the streets and alleys of America.
"Phew..." Holman and Dale both breathed a sigh of relief. "Gao Jianfei is finally dead."
Looking at the live television footage, the area centered on the 'Devil's Land,' spanning over ten kilometers, has been blasted into a crater-like shape.
The crater extends about 5 meters underground, which is terrifying. If the US government were to open this area for tourism or lease it to investors in Hollywood blockbusters, they would make a fortune.
"Yes, Mr. President Brian, your decisiveness and efficiency have won my heart." Dale and Holman exchanged pleasantries with Brian. Gao Jianfei had already been killed, so there was no need for them to stay in the United States. Dale was returning to the Holy Land to report back. As for Holman, his New York business was mostly destroyed, and he didn't want to stay in the United States either. He would take his money and go back to the Holy Land first, and then try to find a way to develop in Asia and Europe.
After exchanging pleasantries, Holman and Dale said goodbye to Brian and left the White House. Their plan was to stay in the US for one night and then fly directly to Indonesia the next day!
The following night, they stayed at a hotel in New York City.
However, Holman and Dale were unaware that since they left the 'Devil's Land,' several level 1 ghosts had been keeping watch over them the entire way.
In Gao Jianfei's den of ghosts.
He constantly monitored the situation outside. When the massive explosion occurred, Gao Jianfei didn't feel the slightest tremor; his den of demons was perfectly stable and comfortable. Undoubtedly, the US military had wasted a large amount of explosives, needlessly blasting away over ten kilometers of territory.
At 8 p.m., the fighter jets and helicopters in the sky, as well as the US troops stationed on the outskirts of "Devil's Land," withdrew one after another. What they needed tonight was a celebration after the tension had subsided, so after "eliminating" Gao Jianfei, they received orders to withdraw immediately.
Several level 1 ghosts that had been tracking Holman and Dale returned to their ghost den and told Gao Jianfei about the hotel where Dale and Holman were staying.
“Dear Gao, the two guys you asked us to follow will be leaving the United States tomorrow. As we were leaving the hotel, we overheard one of them booking a flight for tomorrow morning on the phone,” a Level 1 ghost reported to Gao Jianfei.
"Okay, I understand!" Gao Jianfei snapped his fingers. Then, at midnight, he changed into a black trench coat, a baseball cap, and a sleazy-looking man's skin mask before leaving the haunted house.
He easily traversed the "sinkhole" of the abandoned base. After reaching the edge of the sinkhole, he used his lightness skill to leap into the air and walked a little further before arriving at a subway station.
Destination... Holman and Dale's hotel!

Chapter 474 Gaining Massive Amounts of Experience
Inside the subway. Gao Jianfei discreetly lowered the brim of his hat, sat in an inconspicuous corner, and listened to the passengers' lively conversation.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a strange mix of emotions. The passengers were sometimes grieving over the series of misfortunes that had occurred in the "devil's land" over the past two days; at other times, they were celebrating that the explosion had successfully killed the perpetrator.
In short, the passengers on the subway were caught in a bittersweet mood. Gao Jianfei sat there alone, looking rather out of place. Before getting off the subway, some people in the carriage started dancing, dancing for peace. They invited Gao Jianfei to join them, but he politely declined, only saying along with the crowd... "The American bombs were good! They killed the devils, and the world is at peace." In his heart, however, he cursed, "A bunch of idiots!"
After getting off the subway and crossing several streets, Gao Jianfei finally arrived at the public phone booth outside the hotel where Holman and Dale were staying. He huddled inside the booth as a cold, drizzling rain began to fall. His gaze remained fixed on the hotel. Just then, a group of men dressed as hotel staff emerged from the hotel, laughing and chatting. It was around 1 a.m.; it seemed they had finished their shift and were heading home.
Gao Jianfei watched the waiters disperse and disappear into the alleys and streets. Then, he picked a figure with its back turned and walked straight up to it.
In a dimly lit alley, Gao Jianfei used the invisible force of his One-Finger Divine Skill to strike the waiter's pressure points from a distance, rendering him unconscious and causing him to collapse to the ground. Then, Gao Jianfei walked over, removed the waiter's coat, and carefully examined his appearance… He was a man of Native American descent, in his thirties, a few centimeters shorter than Gao Jianfei, about 1.75 meters tall. He had yellow skin, slightly reddish-brown hair, and sunken eyes.
Gao Jianfei placed the guy next to a garbage dump in the alley, picked up a blanket from the garbage, and covered him with it. Then, Gao Jianfei went straight back to Ghost Den, quickly made a human skin mask of the Native American waiter, pasted it on his face, and changed into his work clothes. In the pocket of the work clothes was a name tag with an English name written on it... "Cam".
Gao Jianfei hung his work badge around his neck. Then he slipped out of the den of ghosts.
It was 2:30 a.m. Gao Jianfei, head down, went straight into the hotel lobby.
It was too late. Aside from a pretty blonde receptionist who seemed to be dozing off, and two Black security guards asleep on a bench, there was no one else around!
According to the information provided by the Level 1 Ghost, Gao Jianfei knew that Holman and Dale were staying in room number 3 on the 6th floor of the hotel. He glanced at the hotel's security camera, revealed a strange and evil smile, and then walked towards the elevator.
He took the elevator to the 6th floor. At the door of room number 3, he pulled out a toothpick and skillfully inserted it into the keyhole. In fact, Gao Jianfei's lock-picking skills had improved significantly since then. You see, after the assassins and mercenaries Gao Jianfei killed were taken into the Ghost Den, he would sometimes chat with them when he was bored, learning some techniques. Thus, he learned excellent lock-picking skills from one of the assassins.
Gao Jianfei carefully poked open the door, then took a deep breath, stepped into the room sideways, and then quietly stepped through the door.
Upon entering the room, Gao Jianfei stood directly against the door, channeling all his internal energy to its limit. In his dantian, the internal energy, almost tangible, surged forth!
After practicing several breathing exercises, Gao Jianfei brought himself to a peak state!
My eyesight also quickly adapted to the darkness in the room.
Gao Jianfei quickly saw that it was a small suite. The living room had a sofa and a TV, but was empty. Listening closely, he could hear soft snoring coming from both bedrooms.
Gao Jianfei crouched low and walked towards one of the bedrooms without touching the ground.
He was extremely careful, afraid of alerting Holman and Dale.
You see, although Holman and Dale were fast asleep, they were like two sleeping tigers!
Gao Jianfei had no doubt about Holman and Dale's ancient martial arts skills. He knew that if he was even slightly careless, he would alert these two fierce tigers!
Given the opportunity to ambush and kill, Gao Jianfei would never choose to engage in direct combat.
He reached the door of one of the bedrooms, took a pair of white gloves from his pocket, and put them on… well, this is a common method used by murderers to conceal fingerprints. Gao Jianfei had also noticed that the waiter had a pair of gloves in his pocket, so he put them on as well. Then, he gently grasped the doorknob and turned it clockwise.
The door wasn't locked!
"Very good!" Gao Jianfei's heart skipped a beat, and then slowly and carefully twisted the bedroom door open bit by bit! The process was very long. Because Gao Jianfei was afraid that if he made the slightest mistake and a sound was heard by the person inside.
Finally, after a full minute, Gao Jianfei opened the bedroom door. He first opened it a crack and peered inside.
The small bedroom has a small bed, and one person is sleeping on it!
At this moment, the person on the bed stirred slightly, as if they had woken up and wanted to get up!
"Damn it! It seems he still noticed!" Gao Jianfei was taken aback. Thinking about it, it made sense. For a master like Holman from a sacred place, sneaking into his room and killing him without being detected was really difficult. After all, martial artists have extremely high alertness. Uh… in fact, their alertness is even higher when they're sleeping!
However, based on his observation, Gao Jianfei realized that the person on the bed seemed somewhat dazed and unaware that someone had secretly opened his door. In other words... he had simply been woken up but hadn't yet figured out what was happening.
"Damn it, no more dawdling! Use lightning speed to kill this guy! We can't let him realize what's happening!" Gao Jianfei's mind raced, and he dashed into the room!
The person sleeping in this room is none other than Holman, the man Gao Jianfei is determined to kill!
Normally, if someone broke into his room, even while he was fast asleep, Holman would instantly wake up and deliver a fatal blow! However, these past few days, plagued by Gao Jianfei, Holman was utterly exhausted, both mentally and physically. Therefore, after "blowing up" Gao Jianfei, Holman relaxed and fell asleep. He was then awakened by the sound of Gao Jianfei opening the door, but in a dazed state, he didn't immediately realize the danger.
Holman only fully regained consciousness when Gao Jianfei rushed into the room and unleashed a powerful strike at him with his One-Finger Divine Skill! He instinctively dodged to the side, avoiding the invisible yet tangible finger strike.
"Pfft!" A hole was pierced through the bedside table by Gao Jianfei's finger force!
Holman was overwhelmed with terror! His fear had reached an unbearable level, and only one question occupied his mind… What was happening? Gao Jianfei? God! Wasn't he already killed in the base?! God! Can anyone tell me what happened?!
Gao Jianfei was determined to finish the battle quickly. He pointed out with both hands in succession, and strands of One-Finger Divine Power burst forth from a distance! Holman had no power to fight back at all, wriggling his body and constantly dodging!
It's important to understand that Holman's martial arts skills were already weaker than Gao Jianfei's. Furthermore, he had been extremely exhausted these past few days, nearly driven to a mental breakdown, and his physical condition was very poor. More importantly, after that massive explosion capable of destroying a town, Gao Jianfei, like a lingering ghost, had somehow managed to sneak into this hotel!
How did he know about this hotel and this room?
Everything is beyond the comprehension of normal people!
As Holman dodged, the bed behind him was already riddled with holes!
finally……
"laugh!"
Under Gao Jianfei's storm of attacks, Holman was struck directly in the chest by a finger!
He let out a wail and collapsed to the ground! His internal energy was disordered, and he could no longer speak!
He had only one thought in his mind... "So strong! This person's martial arts are incredibly strong!"
Gao Jianfei rushed forward and stomped on Holman's chest. In the darkness, Gao Jianfei ventriloquistically uttered, "Holman?"
Holman felt a tightness in his chest, his eyes darting around, radiating utter terror! He nodded slightly, wanting to plead, but couldn't utter a single word!
From this guy's reaction, Gao Jianfei already knew... he had randomly chosen one of the two rooms and guessed right! Holman! This guy was Holman!
Killing him will grant you millions of experience points!
A chilling killing intent spread across Gao Jianfei's lips.
Holman began to tremble violently.
At that moment, a wall in the bedroom collapsed with a deafening roar! A tall, thin, European man, shirtless and wearing only underwear, smashed through the wall, creating a tremendous tremor! He was from the next room; after breaking through the wall, he rushed over!
"Damn bastard!" That person was undoubtedly Dale. The fight between Gao Jianfei and Holman had woken Dale in the next room. Without time to lose, Dale didn't care about disturbing the other guests in the hotel, he smashed through the wall and rushed over!
"Don't kill him!" Dale screamed in terror as he saw Gao Jianfei stomp on Holman's chest.
Gao Jianfei grinned, his right hand gathering the power of the One Yang Finger, and directly pointed it into the air. The force pierced through Holman's forehead, shattering all his brain nerves!
die!
The instant Gao Jianfei killed Holman, the sweet voice of the intelligent program rang in his mind... "Congratulations, esteemed user, you have killed Holman and completed a large number of tasks you accepted! A total of 9 level 6 tasks and 16 level 5 tasks. Worth 960 experience points!"
