The speed of the light beam, of course, goes without saying; it almost instantly struck the figure that had crashed into the mountain.
Homelander was kicked down by Li Yue, smashing into the mountain peak like a meteor. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Although his body still felt a considerable amount of pain, he had finally stopped.
However, before Homelander could even struggle to stand up, he was struck in the chest by a light beam descending from the sky. He felt an irresistible impact from the light beam, and the immense force blasted him entirely into the mountain. His body also developed tiny cracks under such a massive amount of energy.
A few seconds later, the light beam dissipated, leaving only a bottomless black hole where Homelander had fallen.
Following this, cracks slowly began to appear from the base of the nearly thousand-meter-high mountain. The fissures continuously expanded, like bottomless ravines, extending upwards little by little.
A few seconds later, the entire mountain was covered in cracks of various sizes and began to emit a dazzling light, as if a glowing treasure was hidden within the mountain, about to be born!
Boom!!!
As the light grew brighter and brighter, a faint sound was heard, and then the mountain beneath Li Yue's feet completely shattered.
The mountain broke into countless giant rock fragments, flying in all directions! This situation scared the Chinese youth watching from the opposite mountain, who frantically tried to find a place to hide, fearing he would be hit by the flying boulders!
But the strange scene that followed made him involuntarily stop in his tracks, staring blankly at the location of the opposite mountain!
As if time were reversing, the giant rocks flying in all directions seemed to be attracted by something, flying back along their original paths.
Immediately after, a dazzling blue light erupted, blinding people and making it impossible to open their eyes. And those returning gravel, under the illumination of the blue light, became smaller and smaller, as if they were bubbles completely annihilated in the air!
A few seconds later, the blue light disappeared, and the Chinese youth slowly opened his eyes, looking at the location where the mountain had just exploded, and couldn't help but gasp!
"This… this… this is indeed a Kamehameha! Good thing I didn't choose to climb that mountain today, otherwise, wouldn't I be left with nothing but dust!"
... — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
Where there was originally a mountain, now there was no trace of it. That place looked as if it had been struck by a giant meteor, leaving only a massive, bowl-shaped crater over a thousand meters in diameter, almost identical to what's seen in the Dragon Ball anime!
"Sigh, it seems my current power level isn't even over a hundred!"
Li Yue looked at the result of his actions, sighed, and was still somewhat dissatisfied. Although it was an attack he unleashed imitating the Kamehameha, it certainly didn't possess the destructive power of the original.
However, he had exerted all his strength, and looking at the mere thousand-meter-wide pit beneath him, Li Yue felt very displeased.
Of course, before Li Yue made his move, he had used his mental power to scan the mountain and confirmed there wasn't a single person on it, which allowed him to unleash his attack with confidence.
At this moment, Li Yue didn't dwell on it much; he still needed to confirm Homelander's condition after his attack!
Thinking of this, Li Yue's figure flickered, and he instantly vanished from his original spot.
When he reappeared, he was already at the bottom of the deep pit. In the center of the pit lay a figure, eyes tightly shut, with countless tiny wounds covering his body. Fresh red blood slowly seeped out, and tiny arcs of electricity flickered over the wounds, making him look utterly miserable.
Homelander lay there motionless, as if dead, without a trace of life.
"Dead? No, I need to finish him off!"
Li Yue seemed to be talking to himself, then his eyes glowed red, emitting two red beams of light that shot towards the motionless figure on the ground!
However,
As Li Yue's eyes turned red, the figure, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly leaped up from the ground. Without a word to Li Yue, he shot straight into the sky, soaring upwards in an instant!
"I knew you wouldn't die that easily!"
Li Yue also pursued the figure, shooting into the sky and chasing after him!
... "Damn it, based on my previous experience participating in those movies, don't they always say that as long as you lie on the ground and play dead, the opponent will come over to check the body, and then you can launch a surprise attack to turn the tables? Why isn't he playing by the rules? Sure enough, movies are all damn lies!"
At this moment, Homelander, flying at full speed trying to escape, fiercely cursed the directors who had tricked him into making movies back then!
However, feeling the figure rapidly chasing him from behind, he could only cast aside his thoughts and fly with all his might, hoping to shake off Li Yue behind him!
Homelander had just suffered a direct hit from that attack and was not feeling well. His proud steel body had sustained considerable damage from that attack, and this was the first time Homelander had bled since he grew up.
Although this attack wasn't fatal to him, only injuring him, Homelander had come to understand Li Yue's strength, which was definitely above his own. And Li Yue's ability, like instant transmission, was truly somewhat abnormal!
Thinking of Li Yue's instant transmission ability, Homelander couldn't help but change his flying style. Before, he had been flying in a straight line; now, he began to fly erratically, not even knowing which direction he would fly next.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
This was tough for Li Yue, who was chasing him from behind. Li Yue only had about seventy percent of Homelander's abilities to begin with. His strength and physical toughness could be compensated for by other states, but his flying speed could not.
Fortunately, that last hit injured Homelander, significantly reducing his speed, making him only slightly faster than Li Yue's current speed.
However, Li Yue's slightly slower speed could be compensated for by instant transmission, preventing him from being left too far behind by Homelander.
Li Yue also thought about instantly teleporting next to Homelander to grab him, but Homelander had started flying erratically, making it impossible for Li Yue to predict his movements and teleport to an accurate position. And if he directly teleported above him, the moment he appeared, Homelander would have already flown hundreds of meters away in an instant!
At this point, Li Yue was helpless and could only engage Homelander in a high-altitude chase, both flying at nearly twenty times the speed of sound in a rapid aerial pursuit. However, after chasing for a while, Li Yue was pleasantly surprised to discover that Homelander's speed in front was slowly decreasing!
It seemed that his injuries were gradually worsening under full-speed flight, and his speed was also slowly decreasing!
After chasing for more than ten minutes, Homelander's speed was already slower than Li Yue's, and the distance between them was gradually closing!
Finally, Homelander, whose flying speed was getting slower and slower, was caught by Li Yue. Li Yue directly reached out and grabbed Homelander's neck, pressing him down in a rapid dive towards the ground.
"You used to carry me around all the time; today, you get to experience it yourself!"
... At this moment, Li Yue and Homelander had unknowingly arrived over a certain city. Li Yue stopped in mid-air, looking down at the skyscrapers below, unsure where to land. After surveying for a bit, Li Yue's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Xiao Dai, buy that unfinished building for me. Oh, and use the money from his account!"
Li Yue instructed Xiao Dai, then directly grabbed Homelander and rushed towards a hundred-meter-tall unfinished building!
"Sir, the transaction is complete. It's yours now!"
