Chapter 127 - 127

Gunshots rang out, Su Zhan frowned slightly and turned his head. A bullet fell from his body to the ground, not harming him at all, blocked by the Aether Battle Suit.

The Police who had been chasing Nick Fury had unknowingly caught up. They didn't see Nick Fury, but they saw Su Zhan beating Winter Soldier. Winter Soldier was one of their own, so of course, they had to open fire to stop him.

They just didn't expect that the bullets couldn't harm Su Zhan at all.

Watching Su Zhan turn his head and walk over, they frantically fired at him. Bullets pattered against Su Zhan's body. Su Zhan didn't even dodge. His wrist moved slightly, and the Fear Twin Blades suddenly swung. A moment later, Su Zhan disappeared, followed by screams ringing out one after another. Those Police officers collapsed to the ground, one after another, unable to react at all.

Su Zhan was like a ghostly phantom, constantly harvesting their lives. Before they knew it, only one was left.

Su Zhan slowly walked towards him. His face was terrified, and he trembled with Fear. "Don't come over, don't come over! If you come any closer, I'll shoot! I'll shoot… now!" Fear made his emotions collapse, and he shrieked hysterically, his finger frantically pulling the trigger.

Tat-tat-tat, tat-tat-tat…

Gunfire flashed brightly from the muzzle, and bullets swarmed out towards Su Zhan. But strangely, after a clip of bullets was fired, those bullets all stopped in front of Su Zhan, suspended in the air motionless.

He saw Su Zhan smile, a smile that seemed to hold some pity…

Immediately after, he saw the last scene of his life: those suspended bullets actually flew back towards him.

Puchi! Puchi!

He could feel countless bullets piercing his body, and then… he slowly fell down, unwilling.

Putting away the Fear Twin Blades, Su Zhan turned and walked towards Winter Soldier.

After only two steps, he suddenly felt a huge vibration. Crack, crack. The glass on the surrounding cars and houses shattered. Su Zhan was shaken back a few steps, and then he saw a very androgenous-looking person standing not far away.

With a visual kei hairstyle and an ambiguous gender appearance, she was so distinctive that Su Zhan recognized her at a glance.

"Whoosh!"

A strong gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, and then Winter Soldier was gone. In the blink of an eye, another woman with a similar non-mainstream appearance appeared next to the visual kei-styled person, still holding Winter Soldier.

Su Zhan hadn't expected anyone to come and rescue Winter Soldier, and even less that it would be them…

This had nothing to do with them. How did they get involved? And their timing was so precise; it definitely wasn't an impromptu decision. It seemed more like they were working together…

Chapter 0154: Ugly and Brain-Damaged

Hu Guang, the woman with the visual kei hairstyle, had a very distinctive androgenous look. She could create seismic air pressure Impact waves with her hands. This Ability was somewhat similar to Skye's future Ability, but Skye's Ability was more comprehensive, not as monotonous as Hu Guang's, and much more powerful.

The other one was Callisto. Her Ability was rapid movement, belonging to the agile melee type. And she also had a special Ability: she could sense the Ability value and Ability attributes of all Mutants nearby. Simply put, she was like a detector.

Both of these individuals were members of Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. The former was a minor character, like the Heavenly Army in mythology. If they were to conquer someone, the first to appear would be Giant Spirit God. This person belonged to the Giant Spirit God level of existence; they would appear first in a fight, make a few moves, realize they were no match, then retreat and let someone else take over! The latter, however, had some Ability and was considered more valued by Magneto. After all, with her, it was easy to determine if there were Mutants nearby, and also to know their Abilities and strengths, which was indeed a good helper for Magneto, who wanted to expand the Brotherhood.

Moreover, she herself had the Ability of rapid movement, which was also considered quite strong.

Of course, although she also had a non-mainstream appearance, with a short buzz cut that was even shorter and more exaggerated than a man's hair, and a lip piercing on her lower lip, her figure was much better than Hu Guang's. Dressed in leather, her upper body could be described with four words: about to burst forth. Unfortunately, even so, Su Zhan had no interest. It was simply… one would need the best appetite to even consider it!

Although their styling had too many points to criticize for Su Zhan to even know how to evaluate it, he was more curious now about why the two of them were here, and seemingly trying to rescue Winter Soldier!

They had no ties with Winter Soldier, and the matters of HYDRA and S.H.I.E.L.D. were not something the two of them could easily get involved in, at least… not without Magneto's command, they would absolutely not dare.

Which meant, Magneto was involved?

Although there had been no rumors of Magneto collaborating with HYDRA or having any relationship, it wasn't impossible. After all, dismantling S.H.I.E.L.D. would also benefit Magneto. He had always opposed the Mutant Registration Act, wanting to fight for Mutant rights, and of course, also to fulfill his ambitions. Magneto was a person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals and was ruthless.

From the perspective of Mutants, what he did was not wrong.

However, from other perspectives, old Magneto could be considered an out-and-out super criminal who had committed no small number of evil deeds. And from Su Zhan's perspective, Magneto was an enemy.

Previously, he incited the Mutant Tornado to deal with him, and after failing, he quietly disappeared as if nothing had happened. Now, he was having his subordinate Mutants rescue Winter Soldier right in front of him.

Is he not taking me seriously enough?

"Put him down, and I'll let the two of you leave." Su Zhan said indifferently, looking at Hu Guang and Callisto.

"If you want him, come and take him!"

Hu Guang looked at Su Zhan arrogantly, completely disregarding him. Although she had heard of Su Zhan's strength, she always felt it was exaggerated. Was it that easy to devour others' Abilities? Even if he could really do it, as long as he wasn't touched or allowed to devour, wouldn't that be enough?

"We are just following orders to rescue him. We must take him back." Callisto's tone was much better, but her attitude was equally firm.

"Then there's nothing I can do."

Su Zhan shrugged helplessly. Hu Guang spread her arms and suddenly clapped them together. A loud bang was heard, and a vibrating Impact wave swept towards Su Zhan.

The ground cracked, rubble flew up, and the air seemed to stop flowing from the vibration.

A smug smile appeared on Hu Guang's lips.

"Aren't you powerful? Let's see how powerful you are."

The vibrating Impact wave instantly reached Su Zhan, but Su Zhan didn't move. A dark green wall suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the Impact wave.

Hu Guang's expression changed slightly, showing some unwillingness, and she was about to act again. But Callisto next to her said, "Don't be impulsive. Completing the mission is more important."

"You take him back first." Hu Guang said in a deep voice.

Seeing her determined look, Callisto shook her head, grabbed Winter Soldier, and turned into an afterimage, instantly disappearing.

Su Zhan glanced, but didn't rush to chase.

"I'm very curious, who gave you the guts to stay and fight me?" Su Zhan looked at Hu Guang, his voice cold.

Hu Guang sneered and said, "I always hear how strong you are. You're clearly not a Mutant, but Magneto always wants to recruit you into the Brotherhood of Mutants. I just want him to know that we Mutants are the strongest, and he doesn't need you!"

Bang, bang, bang!

After Hu Guang finished speaking, she quickly clapped her hands three times. Three Impact waves, distinct in their layers, rushed towards Su Zhan, each stronger than the last. Su Zhan shook his head, and the wall suddenly blocked in front. He wondered why this Hu Guang had such a visual kei appearance. It turned out she was mentally unstable.

Taking herself too seriously? Or perhaps, her Jealousy was too strong?

Leaving aside that he would never agree to Magneto's recruitment, even if he did, it wouldn't block her path. Without him, Hu Guang would still just be a pawn.

Does she really think she's puffed up just because she has a little Ability?

The Impact wave dissipated, and the wall was completely undamaged.

Hu Guang seemed a bit anxious and shouted, "If you have the guts, fight me! What kind of behavior is hiding behind?"

"I just feel that killing you would dirty my hands. You are the stupidest person I've met so far." Su Zhan shook his head, and suddenly grabbed with his palm. Hu Guang was involuntarily pulled over.

She wanted to activate her Ability, but her hands couldn't move at all.

"Is this all you've got? You only have this much Ability, and you're so arrogant about fighting me? Are you missing a screw in your head?" Su Zhan shook his head, looking at the struggling and angry Hu Guang, truly unable to understand.

"If you have the guts, kill me! But if you kill me, Magneto will absolutely not let you go. He will avenge me!"
