Chapter 1392: The Return of the Old Days (Part 9)

The time for rest was very short. Before Riley could fully treat the wounds on Quill's body, a commotion came from outside the bar, followed by an evil female laugh, and then the "rumbling" sound of the earth shattering.

Jessica gripped the hunting gun in her hand, walked toward the door, and said: "I'll go see what's going on."

"I'll go with you," Xu Shangqi followed her. He grabbed Jessica's arm. Jessica turned to look at him. Xu Shangqi shook his head and said: "We can't just rush up like this. You stand next to me, I'll cast a concealment spell."

The two soon left, while Riley and Quill exchanged information. Quill obviously knew more than Riley. Riley's battle with Ma Te ended very quickly because Spider-Man wanted to vent his anger. Ma Te had almost no power to fight back before being hammered into the ground, but Quill and Captain America entangled for quite a while, so he also heard some information about this universe from this evil monster.

"The entire universe has been infected, no doubt," Quill shook his head and said: "It's similar to the situation in the universe we were in before, just with more superheroes here."

"However, what makes me feel a bit puzzled is that the superheroes here can't die, and they aren't afraid of death. When I showed that I wanted to perish together with Captain America, he not only wasn't afraid, but laughed wildly instead. Fortunately, he wasn't very smart and was tricked by me into a trap."

"What do you think caused this?"

"I don't know, but Captain America said to me that death also has to die one day, and universes that can't do this are weaklings. He will grant them true immortality."

"Absurd," Riley evaluated.

"This world never lacks such lunatics," Quill's rich experience allowed him to say more evaluations: "They pursue immortality, not even caring what immortality is, whether it's themselves, whether it's their original souls, or whether there is still freedom. They don't care at all."

"Immortality without power is like a piece of meat on an experimental table," Riley pursed his lips, almost unable to believe he could say such a cold metaphor.

He couldn't help but think of the Ancient One again, thinking of her powerful self-consistency and compassion. That was more attractive than her longevity, and more impressive and awe-inspiring from the bottom of his heart.

Quill climbed up from the ground, touched the wound on his forehead, and said: "I should have arrived earlier than you, so I hid Jennifer in a place only I know. I think I should bring her back. I'll go now."

"No, I think you hiding her is right," Riley stopped Quill and said: "Find her a hidden place, with enough food and water, let her stay alone, don't make any sound, this is the best way."

"I thought you would sympathize with her."

"But bringing her is really dangerous," Riley shook his head, trying hard to suppress the discomfort in his heart. He really didn't want to sound like a bad person, but the situation forced him to do so.

"Not only is she dangerous, but we will also be dangerous. Once something happens, no one can take care of her, and if we are distracted because of her, we might all die."

Quill hesitated. He wanted to protect Jennifer, besides feeling she was pitiful, it was also because of the Ancient One's entrustment. He still hoped that the powerful Sorcerer Supreme could lead them out of the sea of misery.

"My Asian friend knows some magic and can cover her shelter. Once we find a way to leave here, we will send her to a safe place," Riley said concisely.

Quill and Rocket Raccoon had to accept this proposal, because they also knew that running around with a little girl in such a dangerous world wasn't a wise choice, which would only bring trouble to both sides.

They packed their things and prepared to push the door open, but just as Riley reached out, his spider-sense rang wildly. He instantly rolled backward and pulled Quill, "bang," directly knocking away the door fan.

"Get out of the way!" Jessica's voice came.

Quill didn't know what to dodge, and he was pulled by Riley again. Just as he fell to one side, he saw the wall behind the position he had just been in as if someone had punched it.

"Invisible?!"

"Get out first!" Rocket Raccoon yelled.

Anyone could see that being trapped in this small place wasn't a good thing. Quill ran wildly, and under Jessica's dense firepower cover, rushed to the first floor of the bar.

The scene outside the door was very bad. A giant with stone skin was destroying wantonly, another figure flying in mid-air was spreading fire while laughing wildly, and another man who looked like a rubber band was planning to use his elastic arms to strangle Xu Shangqi.

Riley roared, jumped up and kicked, kicking away the rubber band. Xu Shangqi shook his head and shouted: "Fantastic Four?!"

"It's Fantastic Monsters!

" Jessica roared, and with another "bang," the bullet flew past the Invisible Woman's hair. She flew into mid-air, turned back and shouted at Riley: "I'm almost out of bullets, finish it quickly!"

Riley lowered his body, stabilized his center of gravity, a flash of hesitation crossed his face, but then became firm. Quill didn't know what was wrong with him, but soon, he saw Riley turn his head and stare at him with a gaze that made his back feel cold, and asked: "You said the superheroes in this world won't die, right?"

"Captain America said so."

When Quill's words fell, Riley had already rushed out at a terrifyingly high speed.

Almost no one had seen Spider-Man's full-speed attack, because he knew better than anyone how much destruction it might cause.

In fact, Riley had never liberated all the power belonging to Spider-Man, because he was more worried about causing destruction than anyone else.

Amidst the whistling wind, Riley's thoughts began to drift.

A fake? A clone? Fine, if this is his fate, he should thank God for sending him to such a universe. Here, he doesn't have to be a hero anymore. Being an unscrupulous evil clone isn't bad either. Anyway, they won't die, so what if he tries his best?

When Reed Richards didn't react at all, a figure hit him with irresistible power. When Riley's chest and arms hit his waist and abdomen with the impact brought by high speed, he was almost cut in half in an instant.

Reed's body's extensibility wasn't enough to deal with the powerful instantaneous force. He didn't have a chance to turn into a slingshot, and his ribs collapsed like broken springs toward the side, followed by his kidneys and intestines.

Riley didn't dare to think about what he had hit. He only knew that he was full of the smell of blood when he stopped. Within the hundreds of meters he used to unload the impact and brake, the street was full of Reed Richards.

Riley took a deep breath and stood still in a daze. The feeling brought by violence wasn't good at all. At the very least, it made him determine one thing: he wasn't an inherently evil clone. The act of trying to kill the other party made him want to vomit from sadness.

But Mr. Fantastic didn't die. Although he was evenly distributed over hundreds of meters of street, he was still alive. One of his remaining arms connected to half of his chest, and many tentacles drilled out to try to reach his head, while his relatively well-preserved lower body seemed to want to pinch an upper body out of thin air.

The Invisible Woman let out a terrifying scream. She pounced toward Mr. Fantastic, but was stopped by Jessica again.

Xu Shangqi stared at all this in a daze. He took a deep breath and thought, they really can't die.

But even so, Xu Shangqi didn't want to kill. This thought had never appeared in his mind. He was never a person who could be associated with murder.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he felt the wind whistling in his ears, and with a "bang," the world turned upside down.

【The current app with the most complete and best-to-use audio listening function, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 types of timbres, and supporting offline reading, is a source-changing artifact.】

Xu Shangqi felt himself flying out. His shoulder was hit by something, and then he fell heavily to the ground. His right arm might have been broken, and his ribs might have been fractured.

He couldn't help but let out a painful groan. Through the hazy vision, he saw the Thing jumping toward him, his red-glowing eyes full of evil. Obviously, he wanted to use his weight to crush him to death.

Xu Shangqi endured the pain, tried his best to roll to the side, dodging the Thing's target point, but was lifted away again by the ground shattered by his huge power.

He doesn't know how to fight! Xu Shangqi roared in his heart, gritting his teeth. This was the reason he wanted to be a mage. He was just an ordinary engineering student who hadn't even been to the gym much and didn't know how to exert force at all!

In this situation, the Thing wouldn't give him a chance to cast a spell. Xu Shangqi tried hard to breathe, and a terrifying ruthlessness surged from his heart, instantly occupying his brain.

Move Qi to the Dantian, then walk the acupoints. The instinct of this body, which had also been well-trained, was stimulated. Xu Shangqi turned over with a nimble posture, moved a bit of Qi to his legs, pinched the magic formula with his hands to shrink the ground into an inch, flashed behind the Thing, and jumped onto his back.

Then, in the simplest and crudest way, he moved all the remaining Qi to the fist of his dominant hand, until he watched the muscles under his arm continue to expand. Xu Shangqi followed his instinct and threw a punch, one punch after another, until he almost completely hammered the neck and shoulder part of the Thing.

What does it feel like to hit a stone with a fist? Xu Shangqi found it hard to describe, but he had to say that it was actually very refreshing, because with the protection of Qi, the reaction force wouldn't hurt him, and the feeling of fist-to-flesh vented the unspeakable resentment that had just risen.

Another punch, the Thing let out a painful groan. This woke Xu Shangqi up, not because the groan was loud, but because it was too weak, possibly even the last sound.

Xu Shangqi stood up, panting, and looked at the Thing who had been smashed deep into the asphalt road with a dazed look. He was completely shattered, but he hadn't died.

Whose violent factors did this belong to? Xu Shangqi thought, his? Or the original Shang-Chi's?

When he felt the Qi in his body gradually return to calm, instead of churning and making him vomit like before due to emotional agitation, Xu Shangqi thought, fine, it seems he has to accept his violent side, just like accepting that he is already in these crazy universes. ===== CHAPTER 1393 =====
