Chapter 435 Major Event: Pseudo-Multiverse Invasion (Part 7)
Kunlun is one of the Seven Degrees of Heaven, and given Marvel's tendency towards white supremacy among its editors, the Kunlun that Daniel Radcliffe joined is definitely the strongest among the Seven Degrees of Heaven.
However, in the Marvel universe, there are many people who have the title of Iron Fist. The strongest Iron Fist is a woman named Wu Fengji. However, her strength does not simply come from the dragon named Shou Lao. She also has the power of the phoenix.
Daniel's Iron Fist is also quite strong. Although he is a street hero, like Spider-Man, his strength has actually surpassed that of Spider-Man. His main weakness is his lack of stamina and low energy reserves.
And what about Qiao Feng?
I'm sorry, but the Qiao Feng created by Lu En's subconscious mind is largely in line with the original work, possessing abundant internal energy—as for why we say energy instead of internal force, it's because Lu En himself never learned this kind of power, and his creation naturally wouldn't either.
What Qiao Feng possessed was not internal energy, but rather the magic power of Rune.
Moreover, the reason for choosing Qiao Feng instead of other martial arts characters is that Qiao Feng's signature Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms relies entirely on strength and power to win. In this way, all that is needed is to improve his physical fitness, increase his reaction speed, and add the ability to create a few dragons through transformation techniques, so that he can be imitated by others who do not know the difference.
However, in the eyes of Iron Fist, an expert, the martial arts used by this seemingly bold man were quite strange.
His stance looked like a mere show, but his attacks and defenses were completely unpredictable, defying all the knowledge Daniel had learned. Whenever Daniel tried to strike a vital point, Qiao Feng was always able to defend against it.
But when Qiao Feng attacked him, the force, and the immense and strange energy contained in his palm—
Daniel was secretly groaning inwardly. If he were hit by a palm strike, the affected area would turn bruised and purple. If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but he would need to mobilize a lot of his qi to resist the energy contained within.
A small amount of Qi not only cannot counteract this energy, but will instead be devoured and assimilated by this insidious energy.
What Daniel envied even more was that this man named Qiao Feng seemed to have unlimited energy. With a wave of his hands, countless energy waves that transformed into dragon shapes rushed directly into his face.
What can Iron Fist do? Dodge!
Logically speaking, he should call for teammates at this point. Luke, with his high defense, would be more suitable to deal with this kind of opponent. If all else fails, he could ask his wife Jessica to come. But the problem is that they each have their own opponents.
Even under these circumstances, Qiao Feng continued to laugh heartily, praising Qiao Feng's martial arts skills and impressive techniques. Furthermore, his seemingly imposing golden energy was actually an extremely insidious power capable of absorbing one's own energy.
Daniel just wanted to swear.
As the fight went on, Iron Fist noticed that there seemed to be a faint sound coming from his opponent's side, which sounded like a Chinese song.
Iron Fist: Your mother's XXXX! I'll XXXX you XXXX!
"Huff—huff—" Constantine was covered in sweat, panting heavily, staring intently at the handsome man opposite him.
The other man was also supporting himself on his knees with both hands, looking like he was about to die from overexertion, but he never put down the silver-white shotgun in his hand.
In the movie, this gun has claimed the lives of countless demons; it is one of Shuai Kang's trump cards.
Constantine knew himself all too well; he had no intention of using any unknown magic or potion to permanently enhance his body. Leaving aside the cost, even if he did enhance his body, he would always encounter beings with even greater physical strength.
Aside from unconventional methods like Rune, many mages only enhance their physical bodies to a limited extent, just enough to get by. This is because the efficiency of physical enhancement actually decreases as the cost increases.
Simply put, the human body has its limits.
However, a mage's spellcasting ability has no limits, so many mages don't even bother to enhance their physical bodies. If it weren't for the demonic flesh and blood that Rune found for him, Constantine wouldn't even care about his physical attributes.
Teleportation, damage transfer—which spell doesn't work?
And the best way to register is to run away, right? Sorry, Constantine is a master of running away.
Zha Kang just didn't expect that the handsome Kang on the other side would be just as physically fit as him.
This is definitely a personal addition from Rune's subconscious! How come he's so handsome and also has such strong physical abilities?
"Hey, you were taught by the same master, and you still can't break through their moves!" Zack Kang shrugged. "How about we compromise? You put down your shotgun, and I won't use the evil god's flesh and blood. We can just chat and relax, how about that?"
"That thing is called a symbiote, you idiot!" Shuai Kang glared at Zha Kang. He possessed the knowledge he should know, which naturally included Zha Kang's character and abilities. Therefore, he naturally refused, "We can chat, but put down your weapons."
"Okay, okay," Constantine rolled his eyes. We're both Constantine, neither of us are good people, so why are you pretending to be a big shot?
But Constantine was wrong. In the movie, Constantine was not only handsome, but also had much higher moral standards than Constantine. He even received God's approval and almost went to heaven.
Aside from his fondness for smoking and casual sex, the movie version of Constantine has almost no vices; he goes to hell simply because he once attempted suicide.
And Constantine in the comics—
If he were like the handsome Kang in the movie, even if he only had one-third of the moral standards, he wouldn't have earned the nickname "Scumbag Kang".
"I know you want to ask some questions, and considering that you are another version of me, I can choose to—reveal some things to you." Shuai Kang finally caught his breath, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then said casually.
Zha Kang narrowed his eyes. If he were to do that, it would be called being nonchalant. "Don't be ridiculous. I wouldn't leak information for such a laughable reason. Tell the truth!"
Shuai Kang chuckled. "Okay, okay, actually, it's because my other self is uglier than me, much uglier, that makes me happy. How about that reason? Is it plausible?"
Zha Kang was silent for a moment, then threw another punch, smashing the cigarette in Shuai Kang's mouth.
"What a pity, but it doesn't matter anyway, that stuff doesn't have much flavor when you inhale it."
Shuai Kang easily dodged Zha Kang's attacks. Zha Kang had been enhanced, but Shuai Kang himself had also been enhanced. He even held a shotgun to Zha Kang's neck several times, but in the end, he didn't pull the trigger.
"Look, your attack isn't hard for me to dodge; I'm just being lenient with you—"
Kang is furious. Giving me face? You already said I'm ugly, and you're still saying you're giving me face?
After a good beating, the two Constantines finally stopped.
"Are you calm now?" Shuai Kang asked. "Or are you still going to fight me for that pathetic pride? You know you're actually fighting Rune's subconscious, right?"
Zha Kang snorted coldly. These words hurt his pride once again. He was facing nothing more than a subconscious Constantine, yet even so, he was no match for him.
Looking around, Zha Kang realized that the others were not faring much better.
"—So, is your answer—guaranteed to be true?"
This time, Shuai Kang didn't light a cigarette. He just stared at his other self until his gaze drifted away before answering, "That depends on what you're asking. Besides, I am, after all, a part of him, so—"
"So after answering, we still have to keep fighting, right?" Zha Kang sighed helplessly. During the period when the magic was out of control, Rune was unconscious and could not distinguish between friend and foe.
Therefore, his creations will eliminate any entity without runic magic within them—it's a defensive mechanism. The reason Zakaria dared to negotiate with his other self is because he knew his own personality.
Especially after successfully negotiating with the other party, Zha Kang was quite heartbroken.
It turns out that in Rune's mind, he was the kind of person who liked to cheat and slack off—although his view was quite correct.
"Alright, the question I want to ask is, why did Rune want us to deal with this magical surge?"
