Time Reversal

While Stark was being played by Li Feng and using Portals all the way to travel, Li Feng was already lying on the soft sofa in Stark’s house, enjoying fine wine while having Jarvis play soothing music to relax him.

By the time night fell, Li Feng put on his armor, slung the Scythe over his shoulder, and gestured for Scarface to stay home and continue stuffing herself. Then, with a wave of his hand, he opened a Portal to Hong Kong.

For Hong Kong, which was about to suffer disaster, Li Feng felt a familiar sensation rise from the depths of his soul and decided to do something.

After thinking it over, Li Feng put on the Skull Mask. Spiritual flames ignited all over his body as he floated above the Sanctum. Pressing his right hand to his throat, he shouted in every direction with a lion’s roar, "The enemy will reach the battlefield in thirty seconds!"

Needless to say, Li Feng’s flashy entrance frightened quite a few people into pulling out their phones to take pictures and videos.

Li Feng was somewhat saddened by this. What was wrong with people these days? Didn’t his Grim Reaper outfit deserve some respect? Why hadn’t everyone run away in fear? Why were more and more people gathering instead?

Scratching his head, Li Feng simply turned invisible and released a phantom body. Before everyone’s eyes, the phantom body slowly turned into Black Mist and drifted away.

Once the crowd near the Sanctum had been drawn away, Wong emerged from the Sanctum at just the right moment, gripping a Magic Artifact with the air of a man ready to face death.

At that moment, Kaecilius arrived in Hong Kong with his two remaining companions. Seeing Wong come out alone to face him, Kaecilius said disdainfully, "You chose the wrong side, Wong."

Wong could not be bothered to waste words on Kaecilius. He directly assumed a stance that said, ‘Quit running your mouth. If you’re a man, settle it with your fists.’

Nearby, Li Feng shook his head as he watched. Wong’s strength was indeed quite outstanding within Kamar-Taj, but he was clearly no match for Kaecilius.

After thinking about it, Li Feng flashily teleported in front of Wong. With the Scythe resting on his left shoulder and his right hand on his hip, he turned sideways to look at Kaecilius and said, "Kid, Wong is under my protection. Think carefully before you make a move."

The moment Kaecilius saw Li Feng, he instinctively took several steps back and rubbed his cheek. Feeling humiliated, he shouted sharply, "Austin, Ancient One is already dead. Dormammu is about to descend. Do you still dare oppose me?"

Are you sure you stabbed Ancient One to death? Could you at least draft your lies before you start boasting? Li Feng could not be bothered with the idiot. A Fireball hovered over his right palm, and after blasting Kaecilius’s two companions to death in front of him, Li Feng turned to Wong and said, "The rest is up to you."

"What?" Both Wong and Kaecilius were confused, unable to understand what Li Feng meant. They watched blankly as he entered a convenience store, then came out carrying several bags of chips and bottles of soda. He sat down on a small stool by the street, stuffing chips into his mouth as he watched them.

Seeing the two of them staring stupidly at him, Li Feng suddenly realized and said, "Please begin your performance. Whoever wins gets a pack of spicy strips."

Kaecilius’s eyelids twitched. He understood now. Li Feng was planning to watch the show, while he and Wong were actors performing on the stage.

For some reason, Kaecilius suddenly felt the urge to turn around and leave. Fuck, I came to save the Earth. Why do I feel like I’m some clown?

But things had reached their final step. As long as he destroyed the Sanctum, Dormammu could reign over Earth.

Then the people of Earth will be grateful to me, and that damned Austin… I’ll make him wish he were dead.

With that thought, Kaecilius shot Li Feng, who was sitting by the street, a vicious glare. He cast a spell to draw out an air blade, then charged at Wong.

Wong was not about to back down either. Although Li Feng’s actions irritated him, he had no choice. Raising his staff, he began exchanging blows with Kaecilius in earnest.

After a few exchanges, the stronger Kaecilius drove a blade into Wong’s heart. Just as he strode toward the Sanctum with delight in his steps, he saw Li Feng wave a hand and cast a Healing Spell on Wong, who was still breathing faintly.

Wong, resurrected at full health, touched his healed chest. After giving Li Feng a complicated look and thanking him, he charged at Kaecilius again. This time, with Li Feng supporting him from behind like a healer, Wong fought with a desperate, life-for-life style. He forced Kaecilius to constantly evade fatal attacks, leaving him furious but helpless.

A few moves later, Kaecilius was covered in blood from head to toe, yet still lively as ever. Seizing an opportunity, he drove the blade in his hand into Wong’s heart at the cost of a minor injury.

This time, to prevent Li Feng from healing Wong, Kaecilius prepared to chop off Wong’s head. He refused to believe Li Feng could heal someone whose head had been separated from their body.

Just as Kaecilius swung his blade, Li Feng instantly appeared in front of Wong. Healing Wong’s injuries with one hand, he wagged a finger and said with a grin, "Kid, I told you to temper Wong, not kill him."

Watching Wong revive at full health yet again, Kaecilius stared at Li Feng as if he wanted to kill him with his gaze and ground out, "What do you want?"

Li Feng shook his head with a slight smile. Feeling that Strange should be making his entrance soon, he instantly brought Wong into the Mirror Dimension.

Kaecilius stared blankly at the vanished Li Feng, his heart skipping a beat. He suddenly realized that he was Strange’s whetstone. Li Feng’s actions clearly meant he was saving Kaecilius for Strange.

With that realization, Kaecilius turned and sprinted toward the Sanctum. No matter what Austin is thinking, as long as I destroy the Sanctum, Dormammu can descend upon Earth. Then I’ll be the victor. What fucking whetstone? In front of Lord Dormammu, all of that can get lost!

Inside the Mirror Dimension, Wong clenched his Magic Artifact and watched helplessly as the Hong Kong Sanctum was destroyed. He demanded loudly, "You clearly had the ability to stop Kaecilius. Why didn’t you?"

Li Feng grinned playfully. "I want to see how strong Dormammu is, and how he crosses dimensions. That’s very important to me."

Li Feng was not lying. He had come to Hong Kong to witness Dormammu’s invasion of Earth with his own eyes in order to find a way to cross dimensions. As long as he knew the method, his chances of returning home would be greater.

Wong clearly did not believe Li Feng. He shook his head in disappointment. "But have you considered the consequences of Dormammu’s invasion?" After a pause, Wong’s eyes became unfocused as he resented his own lack of strength. "Before, Mage Ancient One led us in resisting outside enemies. Now, who are we supposed to rely on?"

"Of course, yourselves. Did you expect Ancient One to be your nanny for the rest of your lives?" As he spoke, Li Feng saw Dormammu’s figure appear in the sky. He took Wong out of the Mirror Dimension, then turned invisible nearby and carefully observed how Dormammu corroded Earth’s defenses.

Beside him, Wong lowered his head in silence and clenched his staff tightly. After several breaths, as though he had seen through life and death, Wong broke free from the invisibility and calmly walked toward Kaecilius. "I know I’m no match for Kaecilius, but I don’t want to become part of Dormammu. Even if I must die, I want my death to mean something. At least dying in battle would put my mind at ease."

How noble of you. Li Feng did not stop Wong from seeking death, because he saw a Portal suddenly appear on a distant street. It instantly raised goosebumps all over his body.

During the day, Strange had personally said that his Portal could not take him from the desert to New York. Yet only half a day had passed.

This guy had actually opened a Portal from Kamar-Taj to Hong Kong? Wasn’t that improvement a little too outrageous?

Li Feng complained sourly, What kind of talent is this? Could Strange have Saiyan blood? Does he get dramatically stronger every time he comes close to death? No wonder Dormammu beat him to death over and over, only for his strength to skyrocket in such a short time.

On the other side, Strange and Mordo had barely emerged from the Portal when they confronted Kaecilius. Seeing Wong suddenly appear, they were somewhat surprised. After glancing at the buildings that had collapsed because of Dormammu’s descent, Strange asked, "How are you still alive?"

Wong’s expression stiffened. He turned to glance at the invisible Li Feng, then pointed at the empty spot. "Austin is there."

Kaecilius’s expression stiffened as well. As though afraid Li Feng might suddenly ambush him, he cautiously guarded against his surroundings. At the same time, he was too frightened to easily attack Strange and the others, bitterly cursing his bad luck inwardly. Why is this guy still here? Isn’t he afraid Dormammu will come after him?

Strange came to a realization. "He saved you." After hesitating, Strange asked in confusion, "But why didn’t he stop Kaecilius?"

Wong did not answer. He was confused as well. As for Li Feng’s explanation that he wanted to see how Dormammu crossed dimensions, Wong did not believe a single word of it.

"Now isn’t the time to clear up doubts." Wong looked at the Dark Dimension overhead and asked, "Is there any way to stop the Dark Dimension’s corrosion?"

Strange steadied himself and made a motion to open the Eye of Agamotto. "There is, but it violates the natural Law."

The moment Kaecilius saw Strange’s gesture and the Eye of Agamotto glowing green, he instantly understood what Strange intended to do.

He did not want his efforts to come to nothing. He could only cast aside his fear of Li Feng, grip his air blade tightly, and rush at Strange.

Unfortunately, Kaecilius was still one step too late. Just as the blade in his hand was about to pierce Strange, time began to reverse.

At the instant time reversed, Li Feng, who had deeply studied time, struggled with all his strength and broke free of it. He then silently watched as Strange pulled Mordo and Wong out of the reversed time as well.

The awakened Wong glanced at the glowing Eye of Agamotto, then looked at the nearby buildings constantly being restored. Even the few corpses buried beneath the rubble were coming back to life. After a moment of silence, he said softly as if convincing himself, "Then let’s violate it a little longer."

Mordo narrowed his eyes in Li Feng’s direction. Compared to the others, he knew Li Feng better. He knew that even if Earth were destroyed, Li Feng could still emerge without a scratch.

Because the Transdimensional Portal could instantly take him to another dimension.

Still, Mordo was puzzled. Given Li Feng’s relationship with Ancient One, he should not have stood by and done nothing unless—

Ancient One had specifically instructed Austin to do something, or Austin had decided to let himself go completely after seeing Ancient One die and fully embrace the darkness.

Having thought of this, Mordo quietly walked toward Li Feng. He intended to question him thoroughly.

At that moment, Kaecilius also broke free of the time reversal with Dormammu’s power. Seeing Mordo walking toward him, he assumed Mordo was coming to kill him. Since he also did not want Strange to reverse time, he suddenly slammed a palm containing spatial power into the ground.

Mordo was no match for Kaecilius either. After only a few exchanges, he was kicked flying. Taking advantage of Li Feng’s lack of intervention, Kaecilius
