Poof!"
An Aether Particle pierced Toma Re's shoulder, making him grunt and quickly retreat while clutching his shoulder.
Strike while the iron is hot.
At this moment, Su Zhan, having gained the upper hand, showed no mercy, throwing flames at Toma Re. The flames, like fire spirits, were incredibly agile under Su Zhan's control. Even when Toma Re dodged, he found the flames attacking again.
"Wind Rise!"
Seeing Toma Re's disheveled state, Su Zhan slightly raised his other hand. In an instant, a strong gust of wind appeared and merged with the flames. With a whoosh, the fire intensified countless times compared to before.
"This… this is the temperature of a supernova… You can actually reach this temperature!"
Toma Re exclaimed in surprise, feeling the heat of the flames.
Su Zhan sneered without a word. The flames surrounding Toma Re suddenly spun violently, trapping him inside. Toma Re tried to fly out several times, but each time he was blocked by the Aether Particle hovering outside.
Feeling the temperature rising higher and higher, Toma Re held his lantern ring and unleashed its maximum energy.
"Boom!"
After spinning to a certain degree, the flames suddenly exploded.
Sand and stones flew, smoke billowed…
A faint scent of blood still lingered in the air.
Suddenly, Su Zhan retreated sharply. The moment he pulled back, the sand beneath his feet suddenly rose, and Toma Re emerged from below. With several whooshes, several energy blasts shot towards Su Zhan.
Su Zhan dodged easily, weaving left and right, then waved his hand again towards the already disheveled and seriously injured Toma Re.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Several invisible wind blades cut across Toma Re's body.
"Mm-hmm!" Toma Re grunted, transforming into a huge energy shield that enveloped him.
"Don't think you're safe just because you're hiding in there. This thing can't stop me!"
Su Zhan sneered, just about to make a move, when his phone suddenly rang. Su Zhan frowned and took out his phone.
"Your call couldn't have come at a worse time, I'm in the middle of a PK," Su Zhan said casually as he answered the phone.
"What PK? Is… is it Green Lantern? I'm John, we… we met last time." John? Su Zhan was a bit surprised. At that moment, Toma Re suddenly attacked, waving energy at him.
Su Zhan easily dodged while holding the phone and said, "I know who you are. Why are you using Green Arrow's phone? Did something happen to him?"
"Yes, he's injured. If… if it's convenient…" John hadn't finished speaking when he heard banging and fighting sounds from the other end of the phone. A moment later, Su Zhan's voice rang out again. "Give me five minutes, I'll be there in five minutes!"
With that, the call ended.
Su Zhan swung his arms, using both hands and feet to block Toma Re's frantic attacks, then his body suddenly vanished. Just as Toma Re was stunned, he suddenly felt a great force from behind him, a kick… directly sending him flying.
Toma Re's body slid across the ground for more than ten meters before finally stopping. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt a chill at his neck, and a familiar sensation arose, instantly making him freeze.
Chapter 0199: Who Is Unworthy of the Green Lantern Ring!
"This… this is the aura of Hundred Severing Evil. How can you…" Toma Re dared not move or turn his head, but he was very familiar with this aura—it was the aura of Fear! Thinking of Hundred Severing Evil's terror, and how Abin Sur was killed by it, Toma Re couldn't help but feel a little scared.
A mass of Fear energy surged out of his body and entered the silver blade, which slowly began to change color. Toma Re also changed at this point; his human form disappeared, revealing a head that looked like neither a fish nor a chicken.
"Green Lantern relies on willpower, fearlessness, to unleash its power. I really want to know now, who exactly is unworthy of the Green Lantern Ring!" Su Zhan's mocking voice came. Toma Re felt the Green Lantern Ring on his finger slowly slipping off. He wanted to stop it but dared not move, only watching helplessly as the ring flew off his finger, and then… his Green Lantern uniform disappeared with it.
Slap!
Su Zhan retracted the silver blade. Toma Re turned around, saw him holding his ring, and immediately extended his arm, trying to summon the ring back. Su Zhan looked up, a sneer on his face, and then the ring suddenly vanished.
"The ring, you took my ring…" Toma Re murmured, staring blankly at the vanished Green Lantern Ring.
"Losing the ring is like your mom died? Is this your willpower?" Su Zhan shook his head disdainfully: "I'll take the ring for now, as punishment for wasting my time. If you behave well, I'll naturally return it to you. This thing, one is enough!"
After Su Zhan finished speaking, he put away the silver blade, grabbed Toma Re's shoulder, and then disappeared.
The next second, he appeared on the roof of a hospital.
"Can't you be a bit more promising?" Seeing Toma Re still looking drenched and dejected, Su Zhan kicked him, annoyed. It wasn't a strong kick, but it was enough to make him sober up. "Don't say anything, don't do anything. Follow me and be a mute, understand? Once I've handled things here, I'll go to OA Star with you. If you still want your lantern ring back, then you'd better behave."
Su Zhan said impatiently, then waved his hand at him.
In a moment, Toma Re had transformed back into his previous middle-aged man appearance.
To be honest, Su Zhan found his true appearance a bit hard to look at! Shaking his head, Su Zhan ignored Toma Re and went straight down from the roof. Toma Re was stunned for a moment, then hurried after him.
At first, he was worried that his appearance would be noticed, but then he found that no one was paying attention to him. As he passed by a glass window, Toma Re realized that he had transformed back into his original illusionary appearance.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Su Zhan knocked on a hospital room door, then walked in.
Inside the room, Oliver Queen lay with a pale face, looking severely injured. Beside him, John saw Su Zhan enter and quickly stood up, saying, "You're finally here."
"Five minutes shouldn't be up yet, right?" Su Zhan said casually, then asked, "What's the situation here? He called me earlier to invite me to a Christmas party, and now he's lying here?"
"He encountered an enemy who also uses a bow and arrow, very powerful…" John said softly.
Su Zhan thought for a moment, then nodded, "Dark Archer?"
"You know him?" John asked eagerly.
"Sort of. This person has some connection to him." Su Zhan nodded, then said to Oliver Queen, "Stop playing dead if you're awake. What are your thoughts?"
Oliver Queen opened his eyes and said with a bitter smile to Su Zhan, "I thought I was strong, at least among ordinary people, but I never expected…"
"You never expected reality to slap you hard in the face? To make you realize there's always someone better?" Su Zhan said, glancing at Toma Re behind him. Toma Re's eyes flickered, knowing that Su Zhan was also talking about him.
"If you lost, you lost. Just win next time. Who hasn't lost before? Don't forget what you were like five years ago and what you are like now. As long as you have time, you will defeat him," Su Zhan said comfortingly.
Oliver Queen nodded, his mood seemingly improved, and he seemed to perk up. "Alright, you're right, who hasn't lost before! But what about you? Have you ever lost?"
"Uh… I don't think so!"
Oliver Queen immediately felt depressed. People really couldn't be compared to each other. Su Zhan spoke so eloquently, but in the end… he had never lost.
"Alright, I know I can't compare to a freak like you. By the way, who is he?" Oliver Queen asked, looking at Toma Re.
"Someone unimportant, don't worry about it."
"Oh."
