Marvel Superheroes in China

The peak-level expert scoffed, "Two mere Transformation Realm experts dare to act so arrogantly here! Do they really think we're just decorations?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he drew his long sword and charged at Qin Wu and the other man.

Qin Wu frowned, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Leng Ruxiang was even more direct, his Great Killing Spear vibrating, a silver spear light enveloping the two martial artists at the initial stage of Qi Refining.

The warriors in the barracks reacted very quickly, assembling in less than ten minutes and rushing towards the city lord's mansion.

Lu Jianguo had been lying in ambush nearby. As the large group of martial artists rushed toward them, he picked up a log that weighed at least a thousand pounds, let out a low shout, and his muscles bulged, the veins on his arms bulging like earthworms.

"boom!"

The boulder stirred up a gust of wind, and as the martial artist hurled it, a cloud of dust shot skyward from the spot.

The group of martial artists were thrown into disarray by the attack. The two commanders of the military camp were furious and rushed towards Lü Jianguo. When Lü Jianguo saw that someone was chasing after him, he didn't linger and turned to run. What he wanted to do was to attract the attention of the two men and prevent them from reaching the city lord's mansion.

However, his speed was no match for that of a martial artist with the strength of Gang Jin. In just a moment, he was about to be overtaken. When Lü Jianguo saw this, he was so frightened that he immediately crashed into a residential house.

The martial artists, seemingly unwilling to harm the innocent, refrained from indiscriminate attacks. One of them suddenly accelerated, blocking Lü Jianguo's path.

As soon as Lü Jianguo broke through a wall, he saw a golden fist looming in front of him. His vision went black, and he was sent flying back.

On the other side, Qin Wu was also caught in a fierce battle. His strength and moves were actually comparable to those of a peak-level Gang Jin, but he could not fly.

The two fought for several rounds, neither able to gain the upper hand. Qin Wu let out a low shout and leaped into the air. He raised the Demon-Slaying Refining Wheel Spear high above his head and unleashed the Heaven-Opening and Earth-Splitting move from the Five Elements Spear Technique.

This was the most powerful attack in the Five Elements Spear Technique. He used all his strength to unleash it, and the spear swept through the air with a series of explosive sounds.

The martial artist at the peak of the Gang Jin realm immediately raised his longsword to parry.

"Boom!"

A loud bang came from mid-air. The peak-level Gang Jin martial artist was almost the strongest person below the Grandmaster level. As a result, he was sent flying by Qin Wu's powerful force.

The aftershocks in the air shattered a building below into pieces.

In mid-air, this powerful expert with a pale face and cold eyes had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, clearly suffering serious internal injuries from the attack just now.

The young man before him was indeed very strong, so strong that even he had suffered a slight loss. If he didn't kill him quickly, it seemed that he would be the one to suffer when the city lord returned.

Suddenly, a surge of immense spiritual power rushed into his body, causing his aura to surge dramatically, and the blade in his hand flickered with unpredictable light.

With a furious roar, the martial artist vanished from his spot in an instant, followed by a dazzling blade of energy slashing towards Qin Wu.

Upon seeing this, Qin Wu immediately began wielding his spear with impenetrable skill.

Five Elements Spear Technique, a unified whole!

"boom!"

All the houses near the city lord's mansion collapsed, and Qin Wu was sent flying. After crashing through several walls, he came to a stop. He was kneeling on the ground, leaning on his spear, his face pale, but there were no obvious external injuries.

·· ··Requesting flowers·· ··

The martial artist with the Gang Jin skill frowned, a look of shock appearing in his eyes. His full-force attack using a secret technique had been blocked. Was this still considered a Hua Jin?

His aura surged once more, and a powerful spiritual pressure spread out.

Qin Wu's expression changed. Was this guy out of his mind? Killing a thousand enemies would result in eight hundred casualties on his own; no one would benefit.

The expert with the Gang Jin skill had transformed into a phantom, and countless sharp blades of energy flew towards Qin Wu, instantly leveling everything within a hundred meters.

Qin Wu saw that he was still using the same move, Hunyuan Yiqi.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

... ........ ...

The dense barrage of blade energy struck Qin Wu's Demon-Slaying Refining Wheel Spear, causing him to stagger backward, his feet carving a deep trench in the ground.

Qin Wu's face turned deathly pale, and blood was spilling from his mouth. Just as he was about to give up, a cool sensation came from beneath his feet.

At this moment, the martial artist with the Gang Jin skill showed a look of horror in his eyes. It looked like he was about to lose his strength when suddenly a trace of Xuanhuang Qi appeared on his spear, and he seemed to be surrounded by it. His own sword Qi collided with it as if it were a mud ox entering the sea.

At this moment, Qin Wu entered a profound state. Suddenly, a soft "pop" sound came from his body, and a powerful spiritual energy rushed into his body.

"He actually broke through at the last minute! Does he think I'm invisible?" The martial artist roared angrily, and a huge blade of energy slashed down at Qin Wu.

At the same time, Qin Wu felt an overwhelming killing intent rushing towards him. As if possessed, he thrust out with his spear, and instantly a huge phantom spear wrapped in Xuanhuang Qi soared into the sky.

"boom!"

The blade shattered instantly, and its remaining force continued to blast the martial artist at the peak of the罡劲 (Gang Jin) level into a bloody mist.

Qin Wu, regaining his senses, murmured, "What is this mysterious feeling?" (The knife.)

Chapter 385: Blowing Up a City (5)

Qin Wu stood quietly in place, still savoring the mysterious feeling he had just experienced, what exactly was that feeling of being one with the earth?

Could there be other realms beyond the Five Elements Spear Technique?

He vaguely grasped that mysterious feeling from before. With a flick of his spear, a wisp of primordial yellow energy coiled around it, and an ancient and profound aura emanated from the Demon-Slaying Refining Wheel Spear.

"Could this be the power of the earth?" A look of surprise flashed in Qin Wu's eyes.

At this moment, despite being injured, Leng Ruxiang killed one of the Gang Jin martial artists in front of him. The other Gang Jin martial artist was terrified and, taking advantage of the moment when Leng Ruxiang had exhausted his old strength and had not yet unleashed his new strength, turned around and flew into the sky to escape.

Upon seeing this, Qin Wu's face darkened, and he threw the Demon-Slaying Refining Wheel Spear with a powerful swing of his arms. With a flash of dark light, the Demon-Slaying Refining Wheel Spear disappeared from his hand.

With a "whoosh!", the Demon-Slaying Refining Wheel Spear arrived behind that force in an instant.

The martial artist felt a sharp pain in his chest and collapsed to the ground.

Qin Wu ran over quickly and saw that the martial artist with the罡劲 (Gang Jin) energy was already dead. He picked up the Demon-Slaying Refining Wheel Spear and said to Leng Ruxiang, who was walking towards him:

"You go and support Green Nation first, I'll be there shortly."

Without saying a word, Leng Ruxiang nodded and ran wildly toward Lü Jianguo.

Qin Wu put away the Demon-Slaying Refining Wheel Spear and rushed into the city lord's mansion. He quickly found the mansion's storage room and killed the guards at the door with a few shots.

Then he took a deep breath, suddenly exerted force with both feet, and thrust out a cannon fist from the Five Elements Spear Technique toward the door.

"Bang!"

A loud crash was heard, and the heavy door shattered into pieces.

Without saying a word, Qin Wu rushed into the secret room. Once inside, he put everything he saw into his storage ring, quickly emptying the room.

After that, he walked around while knocking some high-level spirit stones out of the city lord's mansion.

"what?"

Just as Qin Wu was about to open the city lord's mansion, in a spiritual herb garden full of spiritual energy, a vine that was as red as agate stood out from the crowd and grew in the garden.

This vine was clearly no ordinary thing. Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Wu uprooted it and stuffed it into his storage ring.

After he finished making arrangements at the city lord's mansion, he quickly ran towards the place where Leng Ruxiang was fighting. When he arrived, a surge of anger burst forth from his chest.

Leng Ruxiang was fighting two powerful warriors alone, constantly being struck by their weapons. Lü Jianguo lay behind him, his body covered in blood and flesh, with blood flowing continuously.

His only remaining arm was twisted into a strange angle, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.

In order to protect Lü Jianguo behind him, Leng Ruxiang was in grave danger after being beaten.

Qin Wu's face was ashen, his eyes filled with icy killing intent. With a roar, he charged toward the martial artists who were besieging Leng Ruxiang.

"break!"

The Cannon Fist from the Five Elements Spear Technique was unleashed with ferocity. A powerful expert with the罡劲 (Gang Jin) energy attacked Qin Wu and immediately slashed down with his sword.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, and the martial artist's eyes showed shock. He had lost all feeling in his right hand, and his longsword had flown away to who-knows-where.

Seeing the Qi Condensation martial artist at a disadvantage, the nearby Qi Condensation martial artist immediately rose to his aid. Qin Wu flicked his spear, unleashing several spear flourishes, instantly killing a group of Qi Condensation martial artists.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was still in a daze, Qin Wu unleashed another spear-crushing fist. The fist was as fast as an arrow, and in the desperate eyes of the martial artist, the spear instantly pierced through his head.

With only one Gang Jin left, Leng Ruxiang felt much less pressure. He unleashed his fury with a single spear thrust, acting as if he didn't care about his life, each strike a desperate move.

The martial artist who fought him was instantly injured. Knowing that he had no way out, the martial artist was about to self-destruct when Leng Ruxiang pierced his dantian with his spear. With a shake of the spear, he shattered the martial artist into pieces.

Just then, the other martial artists who had mastered the Transformation Realm saw that the Gang Realm had been completely destroyed, and they immediately lost all fighting spirit and scattered in all directions.

Qin Wu didn't give chase. He grabbed Lü Jianguo and whispered, "Go!"

Leng Ruxiang hurriedly followed, and the three of them had only walked a short distance when Qin Wu detonated the buried spirit stones...

The spiritual energy underground became chaotic for a moment.

"boom!"

"boom!"

A deafening explosion rang out, one after another, until it became a continuous roar.

The city lord's mansion was instantly reduced to ashes, the surrounding land collapsed, and houses collapsed in large numbers.

Wailing and cries of pain echoed continuously from the city behind.

Having already reached the outskirts of the city, Qin Wu remembered that he still needed to capture someone alive. So he handed Lü Jianguo over to Leng Ruxiang and returned to the city. A short while later, he returned carrying a person in his arms.

The two men each grabbed the person they were carrying and ran frantically into the distance.
