Appearance

"Pietro."

Seeing Quicksilver trapped, Wanda immediately flew over wreathed in red light. Then, with a push of both hands, the red light seeped into space, directly destroying the Space Corridor and freeing Quicksilver.

Quicksilver wanted to challenge Strange again, but Wanda waved him off to deal with the others. Though unwilling, Quicksilver turned and charged at the others.

Strange raised a golden shield and shouted at Wanda, "Whose disciple are you? Don’t you know mages aren’t allowed to interfere in worldly affairs?"

"I’m no mage."

Wanda snorted and controlled a large number of clumps of earth with red light, hurling them at Strange one after another. Strange opened portals and sent all the earth back to Wanda, who swept her red light around and destroyed it all.

Next, Wanda used red light to disrupt space, immediately destabilizing Strange’s portals. Strange snorted and condensed Space Blades, charging forward like a warrior.

"What kind of mage are you?"

Wanda was speechless. She flew backward to widen the distance while violently bombarding Strange with red light.

"What kind of mage can’t fight at close range?"

Strange controlled his cloak and flew into the air, destroying the red light as he fiercely pursued Wanda.

Seeing Strange tied up, Tony’s expression darkened. Before he could do anything else, a large number of armored vehicles drove in and continuously fired energy beams at the agents and Super Heroes.

The situation instantly reversed. The Super Heroes were forced back again and again, even having to hide behind the hillside.

"Damn it, which faction is this? They already have fully developed energy weapons?"

Tony cursed loudly. At this stage, energy weapons were far from widespread. Aside from a few major powers, other countries were still in the era of firearms.

"Hold on. Reinforcements will be here soon."

Tony gritted his teeth and called Reed. He was preparing to use the knockoff Bifrost to transport reinforcements.

At the Hydra base, Baron Strucker looked at the bedraggled Super Heroes and burst into laughter.

Thanks to the Inhumans’ abilities, Baron Strucker had found the Holy Light Warriors before the Super Heroes did. However, he had not contacted them, because he had discovered an opportunity—a chance to wipe out the Super Heroes.

Simply put, he would use these Holy Light Warriors as bait to lure the Super Heroes over, then catch them all in one net.

Wanda and the others had been lying in ambush nearby from the beginning. Because of Wanda’s abilities, neither Strange nor the Drone Armor had detected them.

If Iron Man dies, the public will surely fall into panic. Then Hydra’s opportunity will come.

Just as Tony and the others were being completely suppressed, rousing music suddenly began to play. Immediately afterward, a figure ran through the distant sky toward them at incredible speed.

Yes, ran, not flew. Once he drew close, he made several motions with both hands, then pushed forward. A red Dragon God roared out.

The Dragon God spun through the air and transformed into eighteen smaller dragons, crashing into the armored vehicles below amid resounding dragon roars.

Boom, boom, boom…

Eighteen armored vehicles were destroyed on the spot. Amid screams, human parts and vehicle parts shot in all directions together.

"Where did this Super Hero come from?"

Everyone stared in shock. An agent who loved wuxia dramas shouted excitedly, "That’s the Dragon Subduing Palm! A great hero has come to save us!"

Skye stared at the figure, utterly puzzled. It was clearly her master’s Dragon Soul aura, so why did he look different? Watch fewer soap operas. Also, where did he put the speakers? Where is that background music coming from?

Tony complained, "The moment I saw him, I found him annoying. That guy is way too flashy."

"Why is there another Iron Fist?"

Danny Rand was close to losing it. There were already plenty of Iron Fists, but why was every single one stronger than him?

With eighteen armored vehicles destroyed, Baron Strucker’s eyes turned red. He roared, "Blast that guy in the air to death!"

Upon hearing the order, the Hydra soldiers immediately raised their Energy Guns and fired at Wang Bert in the sky. At the same time, the energy cannons on the armored vehicles locked onto Wang Bert. A moment later, a beam as thick as a bowl blasted toward him.

Wang Bert smiled disdainfully. He stepped on his left foot with his right foot—purely because it was fun—and forcibly rose more than ten meters higher. Then he formed claws with both hands and grabbed downward. Two giant hands appeared out of thin air and seized two Pickup Trucks.

Next, Wang Bert wielded the Pickup Trucks in a sweeping arc, sending large numbers of Hydra soldiers flying like a bulldozer. They crashed to the ground and screamed nonstop.

The agent shouted excitedly again, "That’s the Dragon Grasping Hand!"

"Your S.W.O.R.D. agents sure have a lot of free time."

Tony complained to Skye, while canceling the knockoff Bifrost transmission. If he was not mistaken, this background-music-playing hero who had suddenly run over was probably connected to Bert.

"By the way, was that bastard Bert the one who beat me up in the illusion earlier?"

Remembering the previous illusion, Tony gritted his teeth. He had not been injured, but the pain had been real.

Sure, he had wronged that bastard a little, but that bastard had hit way too hard, hadn’t he?

Tony’s words made Skye a little awkward. She glared at the agent, telling him to shut up.

Master probably changed identities to satisfy his chuunibyou soul.

Skye thought to herself. She knew very well that her Master was a massive wuxia fan. He normally could not act too chuunibyou, but with a different identity, there was no problem.

At that moment, Wanda used two streams of red light to freeze the two Pickup Trucks in midair. Seeing this, Wang Bert directly relinquished control of them, then landed on the ground with a bang, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Next, Wang Bert slammed both palms into the ground. Qi rapidly coursed beneath the earth, then erupted beneath the Hydra soldiers’ feet.

Bang, bang, bang… Amid the explosions, Hydra soldiers were blasted into the air one after another by the qi, then fell screaming.

The remaining Hydra soldiers desperately fired at Wang Bert. Wang Bert rushed into their formation like a ghost, his palms striking repeatedly. Every strike sent several Hydra soldiers flying backward, coughing blood nonstop on the ground.

Quicksilver’s fighting spirit was stirred, and he charged toward Wang Bert at full speed. Wang Bert immediately sensed him, planted his feet firmly, and controlled a large amount of qi to form an ancient great bell covered in Buddhist scriptures around himself.

The next moment, Quicksilver slammed into the great bell with a bang and was sent flying backward. Blood flowed from his nose, mouth, ears, and eyes, making him look utterly miserable.

"Golden Bell Shield!"

The agent could not help shouting again. Skye was speechless. Her Master had really gone all out for authenticity—he had even imprinted Buddhist scriptures on the bell.

That was not what control was for, hey!

Still, this move was indeed incredibly effective against fast opponents. They would cripple themselves by crashing into it, or even kill themselves.

"Pietro!"

Wanda was horrified. She ran toward Quicksilver while ordering Hydra to continue firing.

Facing the incoming barrage of energy beams, Wang Bert snorted and gave a violent shake. The qi on the great bell transformed into countless qi arrows that shot out at high speed. More than a hundred Hydra soldiers were pierced through their bodies at once, collapsing to the ground with screams.

"Get out there and help."

Seeing Wang Bert single-handedly beat the militants into a panicked rout, Tony could not hold back any longer. He led everyone in a counterattack.

Wang Bert did not compete with Tony for enemies. He slowly withdrew his power, wearing the bearing of a lofty master, which made Tony even more annoyed.

"Sis, I’m so dizzy."

Pietro leaned against Wanda’s chest and spoke in pain. As soon as he finished, he opened his mouth and spat out blood. Wanda hurriedly used her energy to heal him.

Once Pietro had recovered a little, Wanda stood up, red light surging across her body as she roared at Wang Bert, "You actually dared to hurt my brother?"

Wang Bert said righteously, "Those who hurt others will be hurt in turn. What is wrong with that? Are you the only one allowed to hit people while no one can fight back?"

Wanda froze, then shouted, "I don’t care! I’m going to avenge Pietro!"

As she spoke, Wanda flew into the air. The ground then shook as huge amounts of dirt, rocks, Pickup Truck wreckage, and all sorts of energy weapons rose into the air, all aiming at Wang Bert.

"You can’t tell good from evil. You deserve a beating."

Wang Bert snorted and raised both hands. Large amounts of earth and sand flew up, forming one long earthen sword after another that gleamed with red light.

In just a moment, thousands of earthen swords filled the sky, densely packed and blotting out the sun.

Tony took one look and could not help asking the agent, "What’s this move called?"

The agent swallowed, looking so excited he was about to faint as he shouted, "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin! This is the supreme martial art, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"

Though Skye was somewhat speechless, her eyes could not help lighting up. This move was incredibly cool.

Danny Rand glanced at the swords in the sky and nearly slapped himself. They were both Iron Fists, so why was he so useless? In fact, even Wanda was frightened by the thousands of swords. She shouted furiously, sending dirt, rocks, wreckage, and energy beams all flying toward Wang Bert.

"Stubbornly refusing to repent."

Wang Bert waved a hand, and all the earthen swords trembled in unison before shooting toward Wanda in an endless torrent.

Wanda’s dirt and rocks were nothing before the swords, instantly shattered. Even the energy beams were completely destroyed.

Next, the earthen swords shot at Wanda one after another. Wanda was shocked and hurriedly protected herself with scarlet light. Large numbers of earthen swords struck the scarlet light and exploded with thunderous booms, while Wanda’s scarlet barrier rapidly thinned.

Wanda desperately resisted the earthen swords while calling to Pietro with her mind, Take everyone and retreat. We’re no match for him.

Pietro asked anxiously, Sis, what about you?

I’ll be fine. You go first. I’ll escape on my own afterward.

Wanda shouted. Pietro gritted his teeth and led the wounded on the ground away. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Baron Strucker cursed resentfully and ordered the Hydra soldiers to fire Poison Gas Bombs as they retreated.

As for those Holy Light Warriors, Baron Strucker could no longer spare them any thought.

Bang, bang, bang! Poison Gas Bombs exploded on the ground one after another, releasing large amounts of green gas. As a doctor, Strange hated such things most. He snorted and continuously rotated his hands, gathering all the poison gas together and sending it drifting into the sky like a tornado.

"Don’t let them escape. At the very least, capture a few alive. We need to know who they are."

Tony shouted, and everyone rushed after them. At that moment, a glowing statue of the angel Gabriel suddenly descended from the sky. Then, vast amounts of holy light flew out from the statue, transforming into Defense Shields that trapped Tony and the others inside.

Afterward, the Grand Elder appeared in the distance and shouted to the remaining Holy Light Warriors, "Go, leave this place!"

"Leave?"

The Holy Light Warriors were bewildered. Had they not been told to die in battle here? Why had it suddenly become leaving?

"Moro has failed. We must survive and destroy that devil."

The Grand Elder—Annie—shouted. The Holy Light Warriors suddenly understood and extinguished the holy light around them. The Holy Light Sacrifice Art could be interrupted, but the life force they had burned could not be restored. The battle just now had aged them by at least a dozen years.

Then, the Grand Elder led over a hundred Holy Light Warriors away. Seeing this, Baron Strucker immediately ordered Hydra to take them along.

"Damn it."

Tony frantically attacked the holy-light Defense Shield. Cracks spread across it, and it was about to collapse when Gabriel’s angel statue suddenly appeared in front of him, desperately replenishing the shield’s energy. The cracks quickly disappeared.

"Fuck."

Tony could not help cursing. This was clearly aimed at him.

While Tony was cursing, Wanda’s scarlet light was finally shattered by the earthen swords. An earthen sword stabbed into her chest, and she screamed as she fell to the ground, clutching her chest in agony.

Wang Bert had held back. Otherwise, Wanda’s chest would definitely have been pierced through. Next, a large number of earthen swords hovered above Wanda, ready to fall at any moment.

Wang Bert said calmly, "Surrender. Seeing that you’re young, I’ll give you one chance."

"You can’t catch me."

Wanda glared hatefully at Wang Bert and prepared to turn into scarlet light to escape.

Without that ability, Wanda would not have dared to stay behind and cover the retreat. Just then, a sharp pain suddenly came from her chest, interrupting her power and nearly making her vomit blood from the backlash.

Wang Bert said, "Did you think you could escape in front of me?"

Wanda shouted in terror, "What did you do to me?"

"I merely sent qi into your body. Your casting speed is too slow, witch. Surrender obediently and tell me everything you know. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite."

Wang Bert said. Wanda shouted angrily, "I won’t tell you anything! You and Tony Stark are both bad people."

Tony looked baffled. How was this related to him again? Tony looked Wanda over, thought of something, and asked nervously, "Hey, don’t tell me you’re my long-lost daughter? Pepper will go crazy. And, by the way, so will I."

"In your dreams. A bastard like you won’t have descendants."

Wanda cursed. Just as Wang Bert was about to speak, he suddenly sensed a force invading his mind. He snorted, releasing an overwhelming dragon’s might. Everyone present shuddered, and even the air seemed to fall still.

"He isn’t the Blood God. He’s a dragon."

Supergiant, who had secretly been spying on Wang Bert through the Mind Energy on Wanda, quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he was only an assistant brought by the Blood God, not the true Blood God.

It was not yet time for a final battle with the Blood God.

Tony cursed angrily, "What the hell is wrong with you? And who exactly are you?"

Unlike Tony, everyone else looked at Wang Bert with immense reverence. That aura just now had been too terrifying, as though they were facing a higher life-form.

The Dragon Soul of Shou-Lao inside Danny Rand was trembling in fear—dragon’s might was especially effective against dragons.

Wang Bert snorted, withdrew his dragon’s might and the background music, then waved a hand. The earthen swords in the sky rained down, piercing the Defense Shields around everyone and smashing the angel statue apart as well.

Tony said unhappily, "I could have gotten out on my own without your help."

Wang Bert could not be bothered with Tony. He walked over to Wanda and said, "From now on, you are my prisoner."
