Chapter 469

"What are you doing!"

"They are still children, if you have the ability, come at us!"

Seeing Proteus destroy the teaching building in an instant and expose the students, Storm, who knew what he was capable of, shouted sharply for the first time and swung thunder at him.

The bright blue thunder left a dazzling light in the air, and then turned into petals in front of Proteus, scattering romantically.

Proteus glanced at Storm, and immediately after, Storm instantly soared into the sky as if she had lost gravity, rushing rapidly into the clouds.

Reversed gravity.

For Storm, her feeling was not rising, but falling rapidly.

Just as she reached a certain height, the reversed gravity recovered, and Storm instantly fell from the sky uncontrollably.

The falling speed was very fast!

At the same time, Storm's ability seemed to have been deprived.

At this height and speed, Storm falling down, one could prepare to eat at the funeral.

Jean Grey saw this and hurriedly raised her hands, trying to freeze Storm, but such a falling speed and the weight produced were a bit beyond her level. Although Storm's falling speed slowed down a bit, it was just a bit.

Falling down at such a speed, it was difficult not to eat at the funeral!

Sweat flowed down Jean Grey's forehead. She held her hands tremblingly, gritted her teeth, and shouted at Su Quan: "Quick… quick help."

Su Quan looked at Storm in the air and shook his head in refusal, which was unexpected.

Jean Grey was stunned, everyone was stunned…

As long as one's eyes weren't blind, one could see that Su Quan was interested in Storm, and Storm was also different from others toward Su Quan.

Most importantly, with Su Quan's strength, saving Storm was completely easy; it was just a matter of moving his hands and moving his thoughts.

They had just seen how Proteus was deflated in front of Su Quan.

So…

Why did Su Quan refuse to save Storm?

There was no reason!

Wait… could it be that Su Quan didn't succeed, so he loved her and hated her, and held a grudge?

Just when everyone was guessing in confusion, Su Quan spoke: "You don't need my help. You are Jean Grey, the Phoenix Jean who possesses the Phoenix Force."

"It's time to let go of the burdens and shackles in your heart."

Since the Dark Phoenix incident gave her two kinds of Phoenix Force, Jean Grey's Phoenix Force was wasted, both of them were wasted.

It wasn't a physical problem, but a psychological problem!

Even if it was the relatively gentle Phoenix Force of his that wouldn't affect her, she didn't dare to use it!

Su Quan didn't know why.

But giving her the Phoenix Force was to make her stronger, not to cancel each other out, making her lose the Phoenix Force and become ordinary.

She had to cross this hurdle!

Now is a good opportunity. If she can't break through the psychological barrier, Storm will die.

Save?

Or not save?

Jean Grey gritted her teeth. She felt that Su Quan wouldn't really ignore Storm, but she didn't dare to bet!

Watching Storm getting closer and closer to the ground, she knew she had to make a choice.

No, she had to save someone!

The reason she didn't want to use the Phoenix Force was actually very simple: she was wary of the Phoenix Force, and she was also wary of the Dark Phoenix.

Although she knew Su Quan's Phoenix Force was very gentle, the long-standing wariness still made her very resistant!

No one knew how she had spent countless nightmarish nights, and no one knew how terrified she was by the appearance of the Dark Phoenix.

That feeling of being unable to control herself was really terrible.

She knew the Phoenix Force was very powerful, but if she had a choice, she would rather not have the Phoenix Force and live an ordinary life!

"Hoo…"

Letting out a long breath, Jean Grey's eyes became firm.

"Boom!"

Powerful Phoenix Force erupted from Jean Grey with violent momentum. The huge power produced a strong impact, directly blowing the Professor and Shadowcat nearby away.

The golden-red energy turned into a pair of dazzling energy wings behind Jean Grey, directly supporting her to soar into the sky and catching the falling Storm.

Jean Grey, who opened her golden-red energy wings in mid-air, looked like a phoenix reborn from the fire against the backdrop of flames!

The two landed slowly. Storm nodded to Jean Grey and looked at Su Quan.

"Leave the rest to me," Jean Grey said considerately, flapping her wings and rushing toward Proteus.

"Boom!"

The Phoenix Force and psychic energy collided with each other, and the sizzling sound of scorching followed.

Storm helped the Professor up, signaled Shadowcat to protect the Professor, and then went to check the situation of Colossus and the others.

Not optimistic!

No, it should be said that this was the heaviest loss since the establishment of the X-Men.

Colossus, who had lost an arm, had recovered from the paper person to his original appearance, but… he was dead!

Iceman was seriously injured.

Pyro and Petra were dying, their lives hanging by a thread.

Sadness made Storm somewhat angry. She came to Su Quan and asked hatefully: "Colossus is dead! It's all because of your standing by and watching!"

Su Quan was not angry. He knew that with Storm's temper, she was already very restrained now.

"Speak, why don't you speak? Aren't you usually quite talkative?" Seeing Su Quan silent, Storm shouted and questioned.

Su Quan said slowly: "Am I a member of the school?"

Storm was stunned and gritted her teeth: "No, but you have always lived in the school."

…

Su Quan ignored it and continued to ask: "Am I a friend of Colossus?"

"No."

"Am I an X-Man?"

"No."

"Am I your nanny?"

"No, no."

"Then that's it." Su Quan shrugged: "This is the Professor's battle, it's your battle. I already took action to stop the missile explosion earlier, didn't I?"

"Helping you is a favor, not helping you is my duty. Just because I didn't take action to help, his death is blamed on me?"

"Besides, I did take action, just not protecting your safety at all times like a nanny."

Storm opened her mouth. What Su Quan said also made sense. Colossus's death really couldn't be blamed on him, but why was she still so angry and still felt like blaming him?

"Then what about me… if Jean hadn't saved me, would you have saved me?" Storm couldn't help but ask.

Su Quan said with a smile: "I haven't obtained you yet, how could I let you really die in front of me."

Storm snorted.

She didn't hear that Su Quan said he wouldn't let her die, but didn't say he would save her!

With the wine god factor and the Phoenix Force, the boundary between life and death had long been broken by Su Quan.

If Su Quan didn't want to, even if Storm wanted to die, she couldn't!

"If I let Colossus come back to life, would you still be angry?" Su Quan smiled, put his arms around Storm's waist, and asked with a smile.
