How is this possible? I'm a man who injected the serum and successfully survived. I should be as strong as Captain Rogers. How can just anyone come out and fight me? This is unscientific!" A thought flashed through Emil Blonsky's mind, and his worldview was already collapsing.
Originally, Emil Blonsky believed he was the strongest person in the world. Mutants and Iron Man were nothing to him; he was the strongest individual combatant. But now, cruel reality told Emil Blonsky that it was all just his delusion.
"Damn it! I'll kill you all!" A flash of anger crossed Emil Blonsky's eyes. He immediately rolled backward, pulled out the pistol from his leg, and prepared to shoot at Reese Fisk and Ying Faming.
"You're asking for death!" Zhong Qiang, who was standing by, saw this scene and couldn't help but be furious. His figure instantly transformed into an afterimage, appearing in front of Emil Blonsky. That's right, what Zhong Qiang used was the 'Footprints in the Snow' technique.
At this moment, after Zhong Qiang had consumed the Blood Bodhi, his essence, qi, and spirit were all-round strengthened. It could be said that his strength was not much weaker than Bai Zhantang's; at least in terms of energy and spiritual power, Zhong Qiang was stronger.
Therefore, before Emil Blonsky could even pull the trigger, Zhong Qiang had already arrived in front of him, snatched his pistol, and then delivered an angry kick, directly sending Emil Blonsky flying, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Zhong Qiang's kick directly shattered Emil Blonsky's internal organs and broke most of his bones. If it weren't for the serum in Emil Blonsky's body frantically circulating, he would have already died.
At this moment, Logan, hearing some commotion, decided to come down and check, just in time to see Emil Blonsky lying on the ground outside. Of course, Bruce Banner also came down with him.
"Ding-a-ling!" Just then, Bruce Banner's phone rang. It was his old father-in-law, General Ross, calling.
"Bruce, did someone named Emil Blonsky come looking for you? If possible, spare his life. He's the one we managed to successfully experiment on and survive…" Given what had happened before, General Ross's attitude towards Bruce Banner was still quite polite.
"Uh, General Ross, I don't know if the person you're talking about is named Emil Blonsky, but there's a soldier in front of me who has already fallen…" Bruce Banner glanced at Emil Blonsky outside, who was breathing shallowly, and said with some embarrassment, "And, it looks like he might not make it…"
"My people are almost here. Just hand him over to them. If he really can't survive, then he can only blame himself for his bad luck!" A hint of displeasure flashed in General Ross's eyes. This displeasure was not directed at anyone else, but at Emil Blonsky.
As the first successful test subject at the air force base, Emil Blonsky dared to run off and was now on the verge of death. How were they supposed to proceed with the next step of the experiment? One had to know how much General Ross had invested in this series of experiments.
"Oh, okay, Zhong Qiang, do me a favor, don't do anything more. Anyway, this guy probably won't live," Bruce Banner shouted towards Zhong Qiang, "If he's completely broken, it might even be inconvenient for them to collect experimental data."
"Alright." Zhong Qiang glanced indifferently at Emil Blonsky, realizing he was indeed critically ill, so he had no intention of continuing to act. Not long after, a group of soldiers ran out, nodded to Bruce Banner, and took the unconscious Emil Blonsky away.
"Alright, it's over. Everyone, go back to your own training!" Zhong Qiang waved his hand at the students on the first floor, not paying much attention to these ordinary students, as they were basically no different from regular gym-goers.
"It feels like troubled times are here again. Has Brother Wen not returned yet?" Zhong Qiang frowned, thinking of the news about the mutant uprising, and couldn't help but ask.
"Not yet, but instead of worrying about this and that, you should focus on your training!" Logan, as the oldest person in the Wing Chun martial arts school, quickly seized the opportunity to lecture Zhong Qiang and the others.
"Hmph! Uncle Wolf, have you broken the three-minute mark yet?" Zhong Qiang pouted and said with a smile, "Besides, we train much harder than you. At least we don't have the energy to do those things."
"Shh!" Just then, Reese Fisk suddenly motioned for everyone to be quiet, then pointed at Ying Faming beside him. Everyone looked over, only to find Ying Faming's eyes closed, as if he had entered a strange state.
"All his pores are closed, locking his body heat inside?" A hint of surprise flashed in Logan's eyes, and he mumbled softly.
"Wandering half a lifetime with empty martial arts, only today have I comprehended the true meaning!" After a long while, Ying Faming suddenly opened his eyes. His entire demeanor instantly changed. If one were to describe the specific difference, it would be that from this day forward, Ying Faming had comprehended internal strength and entered the realm of the extraordinary!
"Congratulations!" Reese Fisk was the first to congratulate Ying Faming, and Zhong Qiang and the others also clasped their hands in congratulations.
"This is still thanks to little friend Huang Liang!" Ying Faming shook his head with some emotion and said with a smile, "If I hadn't shamelessly asked him so many questions during this time, I wouldn't have fully understood myself after experiencing a suppressive battle today, and thus comprehended the existence of internal strength…"
That's right, although Huang Wen hadn't come out of seclusion yet, and Huang Liang hadn't received permission from Huang Wen, Huang Liang had interacted with Ying Faming too much during this period. Coupled with Huang Liang's young age and soft heart, he ended up giving Ying Faming some pointers on the path of boxing.
Huang Liang probably didn't expect Ying Faming to break through to internal strength so quickly. However, considering that Ying Faming was, after all, a master of Tai Chi, and had so much personal experience, always having his own insights into boxing, it was quite normal for him to break through to internal strength.
"Then let's celebrate properly tonight. As for that mutant business, we don't need to bother with it. We'll just live our own lives and protect Chinatown and the Wing Chun martial arts school!" Zhong Qiang stepped forward and suggested.
"Alright!"
"Agreed!"
