244: Chapter 244 The giant sword chopped off the head of the homelander
Lin Mo looked at the young girl, who was holding a candied hawthorn and had a bewildered expression, and a rare, almost imperceptible softness flickered in his cold eyes.
He reached out and gently ruffled her small head.
"You're finally here..."
"Tang Bao."
"Ugh!" Zhan Hongchen recoiled sharply, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Her chubby cheeks puffed up even more, and she protested indistinctly:
"Don't call me Tang Bao! It's awful! Call me Zhan Hongchen! Or... or even Xiao Hong is fine!"
Amaterasu Hime, watching this "heartwarming" scene from the side, was so furious that her Ghost Armor hummed. She pointed at Homelander and Spider-Man, who were climbing out of the ruins in the distance and dusting themselves off, her voice sharp:
"Hey, this isn't the time to play house!"
"My Lord was almost hurt by those two scoundrels just now!"
"Lend me your sword! Hurry!"
Zhan Hongchen slowly turned around, her large, watery eyes glancing at the two menacing figures in the distance, then at Amaterasu Hime's empty hands.
She wrinkled her small nose and pouted:
"Lend a sword?"
"Dream on ~"
"You can't even keep your own weapon, and you have the nerve to ask others to borrow one?"
"No borrowing ~!"
Before her words even finished!
The seemingly simple and unadorned longsword behind her—the Zhu Xian Sword!—let out a clear, resonant hum!
Whoosh!
It automatically unsheathed and flew out, hovering beneath her feet!
Zhan Hongchen nimbly leaped onto the sword, as if stepping on an oversized candied hawthorn, and floated into the air, swaying gently.
She looked at the chaotic mess of rebar and metal below, her small mouth curving into a pout, seemingly a bit disdainful.
But she still extended a fair, tender finger and lightly pointed downwards.
"Sword Manifestation."
Two words.
Light as a feather.
Yet like a supreme decree!
Om—!!!
Below!
All the broken rebar! Twisted metal frames! Scrapped vehicle wrecks! Even the discarded firearms of soldiers!
All metal!
At this moment!
As if instantly melted and reshaped by an invisible sword-forging furnace!
Transformed into countless flying swords, gleaming coldly and emanating chilling sword qi!
Dense and numerous! Covering the sky! Like a swarm of metal bees!
The sword tips locked onto their targets in unison!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!
Ten thousand swords unleashed! Like a torrential downpour! Tearing through the air! Instantly engulfing Spider-Man and Homelander!
"No!!" Spider-Man's Spider-Sense screamed wildly! But there were swords everywhere! Nowhere to hide!
He tried to shoot webs and swing away!
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Three flying swords pierced his head, heart, and spine with uncanny precision!
Headshot! Heart pierced! Bones shattered!
His movements instantly froze, his eyes still holding extreme terror and disbelief.
The next second!
Bang!
His body was completely torn to shreds by the subsequent surge of flying swords! Turning into a puddle of rotten flesh mixed with purple venom!
[Killed Super-Powered Mutant (Spider Template), gained Brain Quantum: 8,000,000 points!]
On the other side!
Homelander, facing this terrifying sword rain, a programmed "disdain" flashed in his eyes!
"Petty tricks!"
He roared, not dodging! He puffed out his chest! His biological force field fully activated! Intending to take the blow head-on!
Clang clang clang clang—!!!
Countless flying swords struck his biological force field, erupting in dense sparks and crisp sounds! They were all deflected and broken!
Homelander's face had just shown a sneer of contempt!
Pfft!
A seemingly ordinary flying sword, however, easily tore through his biological force field like a hot knife through butter! It carved a deep, bone-visible wound on his chest!
Golden blood instantly spurted out!
"What?!" Homelander, in excruciating pain, turned pale with shock!
These swords... were not ordinary metal! They were imbued with a terrifying sword intent that could tear apart energy and sever rules!
"Roar!!" He completely shed his contempt, wildly swinging his fists, and his heat vision burst forth! Trying to shatter these bizarre flying swords!
Boom! Boom! Clang! Pfft!
The sword rain was constantly shattered and melted, but there were always stragglers that penetrated his defenses, leaving wounds on his body!
Although not fatal, it left him in a sorry state! Golden blood dripped continuously!
Finally!
The baptism of ten thousand swords ended!
Homelander stood panting, covered in fine sword marks, his blue battle suit stained mottled by golden blood.
As he just raised his head—
His pupils suddenly constricted!
Only to see high in the sky!
Zhan Hongchen had, at some unknown point, retrieved the metallic essence of all the flying swords!
It had condensed into a... giant sword, a hundred meters long! As wide as a door panel! Shimmering dark red, as if forged from endless karmic fire of the mortal world!
The giant sword hung in the firmament! Its tip pointed directly at Homelander!
The terrifying sword pressure made the earth sink! The air solidified!
Zhan Hongchen stood on the Zhu Xian Sword, her small face still rosy, and she was still holding the unfinished candied hawthorn in her mouth.
She extended her small finger and, pointing at Homelander below, lightly drew it downwards.
Her voice was still soft and sweet, but it contained a cold sword intent that could cut down everything:
"One sword..."
"Opens the Heavenly Gate!"
Boom!!!!!!
That hundred-meter Red Dust Giant Sword! With the terrifying might to crush stars and cleave through reincarnation!
Smashed down with a roar!
The sky seemed to be torn open by this single sword, leaving a dark, blackcrack!
Homelander's soul almost fled! Death! Absolute death threat!
Resisting it meant certain death!!
"Roar!!!"
He let out an unwilling roar, his internal energy bursting beyond overload!
Whoosh—!!!
He transformed into a dazzling red meteor! At a speed beyond his limits! Fleeing desperately towards the horizon!
What mission! What orders! In the face of survival instinct, they were all rubbish!
The giant sword struck down!
Rumble rumble rumble—!!!
The earth was split open as if by a god, forming a giant abyss several kilometers long! Terrifying sword qi raged, pulverizing all matter into nothingness!
The shockwave sent Homelander, who had fled far away, flying like a ragdoll! Making him flee even faster!
The dust settled.
Only the terrifying sword-scarred abyss remained.
And... Zhan Hongchen, standing on the sword, leisurely munching on her candied hawthorn.
