Marvel Superheroes in China

The dead are gone; to die in battle on another plane is the greatest glory for a warrior! The sword.

Chapter 380: Battle (3)

A moment later, the three stepped out of the passage and entered a new dimensional territory.

Upon entering, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge city, but it is in ruins, with only broken walls remaining.

The city's architectural style is different from that of cities built in this dimension or on Earth. It has an ancient and desolate feel, as if it has existed for countless years.

The three of them were shocked when they saw it. Could this be an ancient relic?

As soon as the group appeared, the several martial arts experts guarding the passage looked at them warily, but since they came out from the back passage, they did not make a move.

Among these several experts was an old acquaintance. After seeing Qin Wu and the others, Iron Fist said in a low voice, "Can't you guys just stay quiet and come in with the Transformation Realm army?"

Then he continued, "The grandmasters ahead are still fighting. Don't wander off. Stay here, or the aftershocks of the battle will wipe you out."

Qin Wu remained silent and glanced at the battlefield in the distance.

High in the distance, a continuous roar could be heard.

Brilliant rays of light flashed in the sky as figures collided repeatedly, the resulting energy shockwaves pulverizing the trees on the ground.

Iron Fist and the other powerful figures paid no attention to Qin Wu and the others. They simply looked into the distance with solemn expressions. Their mission was to guard the passage and prevent the powerful beings from the other planes from invading Earth.

Meanwhile, the others were engaged in continuous fighting on the front lines.

The God-Slaying Thorn was placed outside the passage. As long as a powerful being from another plane rushed over, it would suffer a devastating blow. Qin Wu saw that there were already many mutilated corpses of powerful beings from other planes on the plain ahead.

Just as Qin Wu was about to ask a question, a furious roar rang out from the distant sky, and a sword beam that pierced through the heavens and earth shot into the sky.

"what!"

A deafening scream echoed through the heavens, and the scene that had been obscured by the chaotic spiritual energy in the sky was suddenly revealed to everyone.

At this moment, everyone's expression changed, and they involuntarily tensed up. One of them clenched his fists tightly and muttered as if in a trance, "It can't be our Grandmaster..."

A grandmaster stood in the void, covered in blood—the blood of his enemies. He held a longsword and with one stroke, he cleaved a grandmaster from another plane in two.

Upon seeing this, Qin Wu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from their hearts.

Looking at the tragic scene in mid-air, Qin Wu felt a strange sadness: "Human life is really as cheap as grass in war. Even grandmasters can die at any time, let alone us martial artists who have reached the Transformation Realm."

In mid-air, the grandmaster who had been cut in two was not completely dead. A powerful spiritual force was forcibly bringing the two pieces of his body back together, and there seemed to be signs of them reforming.

However, in the next moment, the Earth Master thrust out his sword again, and a sword light flashed and disappeared!

The sword light and the spiritual power of the plane master intertwined, and huge explosions rang out continuously, slowing down the speed at which the two bodies were about to merge.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Earth Grandmaster shouted again, and the longsword instantly flew out of his hand. The sword light flickered on the sword, and in the despairing eyes of the Plane Grandmaster, the longsword pierced through his head.

"boom!"

In an instant, a deafening explosion came from the sky!

Although Qin Wu and the others were extremely far away, the terrifying aftershocks still shook their bodies violently. Lü Jianguo, whose cultivation level was the lowest, groaned and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Iron Fist and his companions were ecstatic, their faces beaming with wild joy. They growled in hoarse voices, "Great! Three Grandmasters have already died in this plane. Let's see if they dare to be so arrogant now!"

Just after the Grandmaster of the Planes died, on the other side of the sky, another Grandmaster of the Planes risked injury to exchange blows with the Grandmaster on Earth, and then vanished into the horizon in an instant...

"Old man!"

A furious shout instantly resounded throughout the sky.

The grandmaster-level expert from one of the planes was furious when he saw someone escaping!

But anger is anger, the other party has already escaped, what's the use of being angry anymore?

Furthermore, the plane's side was not at a disadvantage either, after all, the plane had more grandmasters. Although the grandmaster wielding the longsword had powerfully killed his opponent, he was now at his limit and could only wander around and harass.

In the instant Qin Wu was stunned, many powerful experts from various planes rushed towards them, and Iron Fist and the others immediately adjusted their God-Slaying Thorns.

"call out!"

"call out!"

Several God-Slaying Thorns were launched simultaneously, and more than half of the Qi-force warriors rushing towards this side were killed or wounded. The remaining warriors scattered in all directions, no longer daring to approach.

At this moment, powerful experts at the Grandmaster level were engaged in a fierce battle everywhere near the passage. Even those at the Gang Jin level would die if caught in the crossfire.

Qin Wu wanted to know more, but seeing this scene, he immediately said, "Let's go!"

The next moment, the three of them rushed into the woods on the other side.

Upon seeing this, Iron Fist roared angrily, "Are you fucking looking to die?"

It's unclear how long this battle outside the passage will last. Qin Wu and his two companions can hardly help at the moment. What he wants to do is bypass the battlefield and head to the enemy's rear to find out their strength and weaknesses. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to winning every battle.

Not long after Qin Wu and the others left, another great battle broke out near the passage, with the aftershocks of energy reverberating dozens of miles away and terrifying mental pressure stretching for dozens of miles.

The ancient city ruins, which were already reduced to mere ruins, could vanish without a trace in an instant under the lingering effects of the great battle.

The three people, Qin Wu and Leng Ruxiang, who were dozens of miles away, turned pale. Lü Jianguo fell backward. Qin Wu and Leng Ruxiang did not dare to delay for a moment. They picked up Lü Jianguo and ran into the depths of the forest.

Chapter 381: Exploration (1)

Qin Wu and Leng Ruxiang carried Lü Jianguo as they ran wildly through the forest like headless flies.

Before we knew it, it was already dark.

The two stopped in a secluded valley. In fact, Lü Jianguo had already woken up, but Qin Wu and Leng Ruxiang felt that he was too slow and refused to put him down.

Lü Jianguo said to Qin Wu and Leng Ruxiang, "Quickly put me down, my whole body is shaking to pieces."

"boom!"

Lü Jianguo was thrown straight to the ground, and dust and fallen leaves flew everywhere.

Ignoring Lü Jianguo's howling on the ground, the two casually sat down on two bluestones to rest.

Leng Ruxiang was silent for a moment, then looked up at Qin Wu and said expressionlessly, "What is your next plan? We can't keep running around like this."

Qin Wu said, "This is a completely new passage. The martial artists from Earth have just entered and are completely unfamiliar with this strange environment. I want to explore this place first, such as the terrain, the 22 different factions among the martial artists, and the strengths and weaknesses among them."

"If we can find this information, we can formulate some targeted battle plans. As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.'"

Leng Ruxiang nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes sense, but there are only three of us. If we encounter a large army from another dimension, we might be in danger."

A confident smile appeared on Qin Wu's lips. He stood up, looked in the direction they had come from, and said methodically, "Right now, all the grandmasters and most of the Qi Refining experts from all the planes should be gathered near the passage. They only think about entering the passage, but they never thought that we would also enter their world."

"So, this is the darkest place under the lamp. The closer we are to the city of the people from other planes, the safer we are. As for this place, we can't rush it. We'll find out as much as we can."

Lü Jianguo got up from the ground, dusted off the dust and leaves on his body, and grinned, saying, "I agree with you. We'll do as you say."

Leng Ruxiang remained silent for a long time, his gaze towards Qin Wu revealing a complex expression: "No wonder you can always create miracles. Your imaginative ideas and meticulous thinking are not something that ordinary people possess."

The three rested there for one night, and the next day they started walking in one direction.

The natural environment inside the newly opened passage is completely different from that of Dawn City. The trees in the Darkmoon Forest are tall and dense, blocking out the sun, while the trees here are much sparser. However, the mountains here are high and dangerous.

Over the past few days, they have seen rushing rivers, towering peaks, and the lairs of some monsters, all of which Qin Wu has recorded in detail.

Qin Wu and his two companions were walking eastward when a gust of wind suddenly blew by. Leng Ruxiang's eyes lit up, and he said with some delight:

"There's a faint hint of moisture in the wind; there must be a water source not far ahead."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu and Lü Jianguo quickened their pace. This morning, they had crossed a swamp where they encountered some poisonous miasma. The three of them almost fell victim to it when a toad-like monster in the swamp suddenly grabbed them and swallowed them. Fortunately, Qin Wu regained his senses in time and managed to sever the toad's tongue with his spear, allowing the three of them to escape.

But after passing through the toad's mouth, they were covered in slime and felt extremely disgusted. They were now eager to find a water source so they could take a good bath.

Soon, a turquoise lake appeared before everyone's eyes, its calm surface resembling a piece of jade inlaid in the forest.

The three were overjoyed and ran towards the lake.

Suddenly, Qin Wu grabbed Leng Ruxiang and Lü Jianguo. He looked at the calm lake surface, which was not even rippled, and his eyes were filled with apprehension.

"Don't go any closer to the lake. This lake... is a bit eerie."

His spiritual power couldn't penetrate the lake water, nor could he sense any living creatures.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared on the calm lake surface, and it seemed as if a huge black shadow was swimming in the emerald green water.

Qin Wu and the other two retreated quickly.

"Wow!"

A gigantic monster leaped out of the lake, splashing huge sprays of water. After emerging from the water, the monster stood silently in the air above the lake's surface.

Qin Wu turned his head and secretly looked over. He saw that the monster looked like a horse, with a white body and a black tail, but it had a single horn on its head, and its claws and teeth were just like a tiger's.

Qin Wu paused, his eyes filled with doubt, and muttered as if in a daze, "Could this be the mythical beast recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas—Bo?"

Lu Jianguo's eyes widened, filled with terror, and he said in a trembling voice, "This seems to be a Grandmaster-level demonic beast, and not just any ordinary one."

The demonic beast floated in the void, its body radiating a hazy white light, as if it were absorbing the moon's brilliance to cultivate.

Although Qin Wu and the other two were quite far away, the demon beast still saw them. It tilted its head slightly in their direction, a hint of disdain in its eyes, and then continued its cultivation, ignoring the three of them.

The three dared not linger and ran for ten miles in one breath. The monster did not seem to be hostile to them, and Qin Wu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, they saw what appeared to be faint lights shining through the trees in the distance.

There seems to be someone ahead.
