48: Intervening on the battlefield

"Ah ah ah!!!"

However, after only a few seconds, an angry roar immediately echoed throughout the entire building—it was Zod!

Facing such an insult from Clark, Zod was thoroughly enraged. As a military man, he naturally didn't lack ferocity. With Clark grabbing his ankle, he knew he had to fight for his life to break free!

The next second, after being slammed to the ground once more, Zod seized the opportunity, using the recoil to twist his body, and directly punched towards Clark's face.

Bang!

Superman Clark at this stage still lacked too much combat experience, only knowing how to overpower with brute force. At this moment, Clark had not expected Zod to escape his predicament in such a way, and was immediately hit by a punch, his hand subconsciously loosening.

"Damn it, die!"

Taking advantage of Clark being knocked back by his punch, the freed Zod immediately charged forward, his iron fists continuously striking Clark's body, making him hunch over. But Zod clearly knew this wasn't enough to severely injure Clark. So, before Clark could react, he reached out, grabbed Clark's head, pushed it down, and simultaneously delivered a knee strike upwards.

Boom!

The next second, a terrifying roar resounded. Facing the battle-hardened Zod, Clark was completely overwhelmed on the spot. He had just taken a direct knee strike, and his entire head began to throb, making him feel dizzy and disoriented.

Having landed a blow, Zod immediately released his grip on Clark's arm. Although he was technically superior to Clark, Clark was currently stronger than him in terms of raw power. However, this did not affect the battle. Zod was confident that after this battle, as his development of solar energy deepened, he would inevitably become even stronger than Clark.

"Kal-El, watch! Everything you cherish will eventually turn to ruins."

"The pain I feel, you will also experience."

Watching Clark continuously retreat and shake his head, a fierce glint flashed in Zod's eyes. He then stopped looking at Clark and turned to fly out of the building.

Of course!

To prevent Clark from interfering with his actions, the moment Zod flew out of the building, he fired his red heat vision towards it. The terrifying, scorching rays instantly pierced through the building's walls. Then, under Zod's control, the rays began to continuously slice through the building until it was completely severed and toppled to one side.

After burying Superman Clark within the building, Zod paid no further attention to the slowly collapsing building behind him. He stepped on the void, and after a brief scan of the ground, he flew directly towards a densely populated area.

He wanted Clark to feel pain and despair, so his first step was to slaughter humans, making Clark live burdened with pain and torment, allowing him to experience the same suffering he had endured.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

Light doesn't always bring only hope; it can also bring deeper darkness!

Zod continuously flew through the sky, like an invisible killing machine. His eyes constantly emitted beams of red heat vision. In front of such high-temperature rays, the humans hit didn't even have time to react before being cut in half.

However, what was even more despairing was that because the city was shrouded in smoke and dust, the dead citizens didn't even know who had killed them before they became corpses.

Rumble!

Finally, after Zod had slaughtered nearly a hundred people, a violent rumble suddenly erupted from the distant ruins of the collapsed building. Then, amidst the rolling smoke and dust, a figure shot straight up, bursting out of the ruins and standing in the void!

"No!!!"

Clark, who had just escaped his predicament, didn't even need to deliberately search for Zod's figure. He immediately saw the latter wantonly slaughtering civilians, which instantly changed Clark's expression, and he let out a desperate roar.

Boom!

The next moment, the sky exploded. Clark, filled with grief, charged directly at Zod. At this moment, Clark almost forgot about life and death, directly embracing Zod, who couldn't dodge in time. Then, both of them plummeted towards the ground!

Rumble!

With a massive rumble, both of them crashed into the ground. And with Clark's escape, it signaled that the final round of battle had begun!

Li An, who witnessed this scene, naturally wouldn't stay put either. When he saw Clark embracing Zod and falling towards the ground, he had already moved, rushing quickly towards the place where the two were about to land.

When Li An arrived at the crash site, it was covered in thick, impenetrable smoke and dust. Li An dared not be careless. Before the two entered his Energy Field, he couldn't be a match for those two Kryptonians. After all, with the blessing of solar energy, their power was like a cheat code. Facing two such powerhouses, he naturally wouldn't let his guard down.

And so, with a thought from Li An, the Energy Field silently unfolded, merging directly with the dense, invisible smoke and dust.

Li An then continued forward. His perception was extremely keen, and his passive ability, Super Perception, was also at work. Although his eyes couldn't see, under the effect of Super Perception, it was as if it were broad daylight, allowing him to clearly see everything within his perceptual range.

[Passive · Super Perception Lv.3: You can detect magnetic fields containing various negative energies such as killing, destruction, and annihilation within a 200-meter radius centered on yourself. No cooldown.]

And it was precisely because of Li An's ability that, after only a dozen seconds, he located the two based on the intermittent sounds of battle and the continuous tremor of the earth.

"It's you?"

"It's you again, you damned human!!!"

After finding the two, Li An had no intention of concealing his whereabouts, appearing directly before the two Kryptonians. Facing Li An's sudden appearance, Clark and Zod, who were still fighting, first froze, then immediately reacted, instantly retreating to a safe distance while wary of each other.

"This isn't where you should be. Leave quickly."

At this moment, Clark still had a good impression of Li An. After all, Li An had initially helped him fend off Zod's harassment, which gave him time to destroy the Void Engine.

However, compared to Clark's friendliness, Zod's face was somewhat distorted. He hadn't realized it before, but now, looking back, it was precisely because of this human's obstruction that he couldn't stop Superman Clark from destroying the Void Engine in time.

This human was also one of the culprits who ruined his plan!

Thinking of this, Zod immediately took a step forward, his eyes beginning to glow red. He was almost unable to restrain himself from directly attacking!

"Human, you dare to appear before me again. You deserve to die!!!"
