The Punisher knew Russell would come for him, but he didn't expect Russell to appear before him in such a monstrous form.
He knew Russell would come for him the moment the Continental Hotel's intelligence agents started tracking him.
Not to mention, Russell had always had a good reputation in the underground world for "always paying his debts."
To deal with Russell, the Punisher had done a lot of homework.
However, he never expected Russell to be hiding two unknown abilities: the Bullet Curve Technique and this monster form.
Actually, it wasn't entirely his fault for not being fully prepared; Russell himself hadn't expected to obtain the Bullet Curve Technique so smoothly.
After using the black tendrils to retrieve the guns on his body, he didn't immediately attack the Punisher. Instead, he stood still and beckoned him.
The Punisher was definitely going to die, but before killing him, Russell planned to use him to test out his Bullet Curve Technique.
Taunting enemies during combat is not a good habit.
Whether in movies, TV shows, or anime, there are always plots where villains taunt the protagonist.
These villains, who could have won, ended up being counter-killed by the protagonist with plot armor due to their excessive talking and arrogance, becoming mere backdrops to highlight the protagonist.
In a normal fight, Russell certainly wouldn't do such a thing.
But now, he didn't mind giving the Punisher a small chance to resist.
Seeing Russell's actions, a hint of undetectable joy flashed across the Punisher's face.
Excellent!
The other party was starting to get arrogant!
Although the situation hadn't improved much, Russell's "arrogance" gave the Punisher a glimmer of hope.
He slowly stood up, picked up the pistol he had dropped earlier, and took out the last flashbang from his person.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As soon as he took out the flashbang with his left hand, the Punisher fired three shots at Russell.
At the same moment he fired, Russell also opened fire.
Under the control of the black tendrils, the Glock 26, Glock 34, and AR-15 fired simultaneously.
Bullet Curve Technique.
Controlling three guns simultaneously to perform the Bullet Curve Technique, one of which was an assault rifle, was a completely new experience for Russell.
Although he wasn't using his own hands to perform the technique, the black tendrils did not disappoint him.
The Brotherhood's signature skill, the Bullet Curve Technique, was successfully executed.
The arcing bullets collided fiercely with the bullets fired by the Punisher, bouncing off each other with a clang.
The Punisher hadn't expected to hit Russell with his shots.
After discovering that Russell had mastered the Bullet Curve Technique, he knew it would be difficult to gain an advantage in a shootout.
But even so, he still didn't give up on firing.
Bang bang bang bang bang...
He frantically pulled the trigger, emptying the magazine in just a few seconds.
Russell remained standing in place, the black tendrils controlling the pistols and rifle, firing continuously.
Controlling three guns simultaneously to perform the Bullet Curve Technique was indeed a little more difficult.
But for him now, it wasn't a big problem.
The Symbiote didn't just enhance his physical abilities; his nerve reaction speed, movement precision, and other abilities also received a qualitative leap.
If these abilities hadn't also improved, he wouldn't be able to control the Symbiote with just his own capabilities.
You have to understand, normal Symbiotes have their own consciousness and soul.
The Venom Symbiote reward, on the surface, gave him all the abilities of being bonded with Venom.
But in reality, this reward, to a certain extent, turned him into a Symbiote.
Simply put, he was Venom, and Venom was him.
From a life form perspective, he was still human.
But he was a human who had merged with a Symbiote.
Other than not being able to bond with others like a true Symbiote, and not needing a host to survive, there wasn't much difference between him and other Symbiotes.
Click!
The sound of an empty magazine came from the Punisher's side.
However, at that moment, the Punisher threw out the flashbang in his hand.
Boom!
Just like the incoming bullets, the flashbang thrown by the Punisher was accurately hit by Russell.
Blinding bright light and deafening noise were produced simultaneously.
The flashbang's loud noise once again caused a slight stress reaction in the Symbiote on Russell's body.
Dozens of black tendrils appeared uncontrollably, looking as if they were trying to detach from his body.
Just like before, this stress reaction only lasted for less than a second before completely disappearing.
If the Punisher were wearing protective goggles right now, he might have seen the stress reaction on Russell's body.
But unfortunately, he didn't see it.
The moment he threw the flashbang, he didn't hesitate and turned to run.
He did this partly to avoid being affected by the flashbang's bright light.
The other reason was to get back to the safe house as quickly as possible.
He only had a dagger left on him.
If he couldn't get back to the safe house to get other weapons, no matter how arrogant Russell seemed now, he wouldn't be Russell's match.
He had just personally experienced how terrifying Russell's strength was in his Venom form.
Just a casual wave sent him flying back more than ten meters without any ability to resist.
This level of physical strength was absolutely something he could not contend with.
The Punisher was very fast. In just three or four seconds, he reached the entrance of the safe house.
Bang!
Just as he was about to enter the safe house, his entire body suddenly fell forward uncontrollably, his right leg shot straight through by a bullet.
Ignoring the intense pain in his right leg, the Punisher used the momentum to roll forward and directly rolled into the safe house.
What the Punisher was going to do in the safe house was a question whose answer could be figured out by just thinking about it.
But Russell still had no intention of killing him immediately.
Otherwise, he would have aimed at the Punisher's brain and heart just now, not his right leg.
After the Punisher's figure disappeared from sight, Russell retracted the black tendrils controlling the pistols and rifle back into his body.
Then, he went to the room next to the Punisher's safe house.
After entering the safe house, the Punisher, dragging his injured right leg, retrieved the weapon with the most firepower in the safe house.
A Gatling gun!
This was originally a weapon he had prepared to wipe out gangs.
Unexpectedly, he now had to use it against Russell.
As he endured the pain, quickly set up the Gatling gun, and aimed at the safe house door.
The unexpected happened!
Boom!
With a loud bang, the wall next to him shattered.
A black figure, like a tank, domineeringly crashed through the wall and slammed violently into him.
The sudden unexpected event left him no time to turn the Gatling gun's muzzle.
Before he could do anything, the Punisher was stepped on the chest by Russell, making intimate contact with the ground and uncontrollably spitting out a mouthful of blood.
