At such an incredibly fast pace, the two fought for over ten minutes, even exchanging a volley of heat vision.
However, the intense explosion caused by their colliding heat vision nearly incinerated their clothes. As if by unspoken agreement, neither of them used it again!
Li Yue suddenly felt the Homelander opposite him unleash a punch filled with terrifying power, aiming it at him!
Not to be outdone, Li Yue also put all his strength into a punch, colliding with Homelander's fist.
Bang!!!
Both retreated nearly a thousand meters before stabilizing themselves. However, neither of them charged at the other again!
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
"Hahaha, what a thrill!"
Li Yue burst out laughing. This was his first time engaging in a head-on battle, relying solely on his physical strength without using any superpowers. He had to admit, it was incredibly exhilarating.
Moreover, his body, transformed into adamantium alloy, felt no pain when struck by Homelander!
Homelander, however, was different from Li Yue. Although he possessed an incredibly powerful physique, boasting a "body of steel," he could feel that his attacks caused no damage to Li Yue's metallic body during their exchange.
Yet, when Li Yue struck him, he clearly felt pain. Furthermore, due to the lightning infused in Li Yue's attacks, his body felt numb and his movements became sluggish. If this continued, it certainly wouldn't be a viable strategy.
At this moment, the iconic smile had vanished from Homelander's face, replaced by a grave expression!
"It seems I'll have to use that!"
Looking at Li Yue, whose body was wreathed in lightning, Homelander thought to himself. He had no other options. He realized that his strength, which he had always been proud of and believed to be unrivaled, was completely incapable of harming the person opposite him!
...Homelander pulled out a small glass vial from somewhere, containing a clear, crystalline blue liquid. He directly crushed the top of the vial and was about to pour the blue liquid into his mouth!
"Holy crap, you're taking drugs! Do you have any sportsmanship?!"
Li Yue clearly saw Homelander's actions from across the way, but it was definitely too late to stop him. They were several kilometers apart.
However, Li Yue wasn't going to just watch him take drugs and make things harder for himself. He immediately used his superpower, vanishing from his spot in an instant!
When he reappeared, he was already in front of Homelander, directly unleashing a punch towards Homelander's face.
Homelander never expected Li Yue to appear before him in an instant. Caught off guard, he was directly hit by Li Yue's punch, sending him tumbling backward through the air. The vial of blue liquid in his hand also flew out, scattering in the air!
Li Yue didn't bother with the blue liquid. If his guess was correct, this should be Compound V, produced by Vought International! Li Yue would naturally have a chance to get his hands on it later; for now, he needed to quickly deal with Homelander!
At this point, Li Yue had no intention of holding back. After sending Homelander flying, his figure flashed again, then disappeared!
The retreating Homelander had just stabilized himself, no longer tumbling through the air like an acrobat, but his backward momentum hadn't stopped. However, he clearly saw Li Yue's figure vanish from his previous position again!
Li Yue's figure reappeared behind Homelander, blocking his path of retreat. Seizing the opportunity, he delivered another punch to Homelander's back.
Before Homelander could react, he suddenly felt another heavy blow to his back. His body, which hadn't stopped retreating, was sent flying in the opposite direction at an even faster speed!
And Li Yue's figure vanished again, reappearing once more in front of Homelander,
clenching his fist and smashing it fiercely towards Homelander!
This repeated, and Homelander was like a rubber ball, being hit back and forth by Li Yue, occasionally getting a kick or two, completely unable to fight back!
...Homelander was truly frustrated at this moment. He couldn't stop his body and could only be toyed with by Li Yue, even though Li Yue couldn't inflict fatal damage on him.
But being pummeled back and forth by Li Yue like a rubber ball, the physical pain he endured was less than a fraction of the humiliation he felt in his heart!
However, no matter how angry or humiliated he was, he was helpless and could only passively take the beating!
After several minutes of relentless hitting, Li Yue realized that such attacks weren't inflicting fatal damage on Homelander. He had also tried transforming his hands into blades to slash at his body, but unfortunately, he couldn't leave even a single scratch on Homelander's body, let alone draw blood.
Li Yue had somewhat anticipated this. With their comparable strength, relying solely on physical power, neither could inflict fatal damage on the other. However, Li Yue's superpowers were more dominant, allowing him to suppress Homelander, leaving him utterly defenseless!
Since physical attacks alone couldn't injure Homelander, Li Yue decided to try a different approach!
With that thought, Li Yue's figure vanished from his spot again, appearing above Homelander. He fiercely kicked Homelander towards the ground. Then, Li Yue's figure vanished from his spot once more!
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
Li Yue reappeared in the air, not far from the ground, with a mountain peak a hundred meters below him.
Li Yue stopped in mid-air, placing his hands at his waist, palms facing each other as if cupping a ball, and turned his upper body. The lightning circling his body continuously gathered along his arms towards his palms, forming a silver-white small ball of lightning between his hands!
As more and more lightning energy converged, the white ball grew larger and larger, starting from the size of a ping-pong ball and quickly expanding to the size of a basketball.
The distance between Li Yue's hands also grew wider. Then, Li Yue stopped the flow of lightning energy. At this moment, Li Yue's hands seemed to be holding a star, emitting dazzling light that even overshadowed the sun's rays, making it impossible to look at directly!
However, Li Yue didn't stop. He then began to channel the blue energy from his mental sea, and with force, he slowly compressed the basketball-sized, dazzling lightning ball. And the sphere, once again infused with Li Yue's energy, slowly began to shrink.
The energy sphere, which had originally emitted only dazzling white light, slowly began to incorporate a hint of blue light, which grew more and more pronounced. Only after the white lightning and blue energy had perfectly fused did Li Yue stop channeling energy!
At this point, the energy ball in his hands was only the size of a soccer ball, with an alternating blue and white color that appeared incredibly harmonious. But the terrifying energy contained within it was something Li Yue himself could clearly feel, because it had reached the upper limit of the energy he could control!
Although Li Yue's actions seemed slow, they only took a few seconds.
After Li Yue stopped, a figure plummeted from the sky at an extremely fast speed, like a meteor, smashing fiercely onto the mountain peak below Li Yue!
Boom!!!
With a loud bang, the figure created a large crater in the mountain, sending gravel flying!
Seeing this, Li Yue pushed his hands towards the figure's location. The sphere in his hands transformed into a blue and white spiral beam of light, fiercely striking the spot where the figure had fallen!
...The young Chinese man on another mountain peak, watching this scene, was stunned speechless!
"This move, could it be..."
