Chapter 385 Battlefield Situation

"It's Psylocke."

  At the end of the corridor, Xu Yue grabbed Psylocke's neck with one hand, forcing her to stand upright against the broken wall.

  If the previous lightning-fast attack only made him doubt the identity of this female mutant, now after the "Eye of Insight" investigation, he really confirmed the exact identity of Psylocke.

  Psylocke, in another timeline, she is one of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse. Unlike Angel, who rose to power because of symbolic significance, Psylocke stood out completely by relying on her powerful abilities that can be compared with Magneto and Storm.

  Among the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse, Magneto's strength is definitely the well-deserved first, but it is still unknown who is second between Psylocke and Storm. In terms of large-scale killing, she is definitely inferior, but when it comes to lurking and assassinating, she can easily beat Storm.

  From the various characters that are benchmarked against her, it is not difficult to see how terrifying Psylocke's potential is. In the classification of mutants, she can be completely classified as an Alpha-level mutant second only to God. The

  reason why she was easily solved by Xu Yue in this world is mainly because she still needs a long growth process to reach her prime. The Psylocke in the Apocalypse timeline is a heroic female warrior, but the Psylocke in this timeline is a killer thug mixed in the underground gangs. The

  difference between the two is visible to the naked eye, but even so, the opponent's assassination still caused Xu Yue a lot of trouble.

  Of course, the fact that Xu Yue never used his full strength is also an important reason. Otherwise, under the sweep of the long halberd, all the creatures in the entire corridor space will be a collapse at the touch of a finger, or if he decisively uses the war roar, he can also throw Psylocke behind him directly. However, there is

  a huge risk that the already shaky laboratory may collapse on the spot, so during the entire confrontation, he only used the most destructive magic knife Qianren at the beginning.

  "A telekinetic weapon? It's really powerful."

  His sight fell on the struggling Psylocke in his hand. Xu Yue's palm, which was tightly gripping the other's neck, slowly tightened. With the gradually strong feeling of suffocation, the long-term lack of oxygen in the brain made her struggle weaker and weaker, and finally her already chaotic mind completely fell into a coma.

  Feeling that the resistance in his hand had completely disappeared, Xu Yue's tightly clenched left hand slightly relaxed, and at the same time lowered his eyes to look at the open palm of his right hand, where there was a vertical blood hole running through the front and back, which was the bloody wound formed by the telekinetic long sword of Psylocke not long ago.

  With his current defense, the steel-hardened flesh and blood membrane is no less than the general dark purple metal material, but even so, it was easily penetrated by the telekinetic long sword. It can be seen that the opponent's sharpness is even better than the magic sword Thousand Blades.

  And extreme sharpness has never been the main feature of the telekinetic long sword. Its most powerful feature is the damage characteristic that can directly attack the target's soul. In essence, the material of this thing itself is the external extension of mental power, and it is a special soul weapon similar to the structure of the mind chain.

  Among the many ability sequences, time and space, soul, destiny, law, etc. are undoubtedly the top ones, and Psylocke's ability involves the soul level, which is also the main reason why Apocalypse values ​​her.

  Similarly, Xu Yue also saw this point, otherwise his previous response process would not be so friendly. If he had been more ruthless, Psylocke would have been considered merciful if he could keep a whole body after the attack.

  The telekinetic condensation talent that can directly harm the soul has extremely high potential, and with the experience of condensing the mind chain, by studying the mental power structure of Psylocke, perhaps Xu Yue can also condense a telekinetic weapon of similar nature, and this ability will be of great use in the later stage.

  So no matter what the specific reason is, killing Psylocke directly is definitely the most loss-making choice. Only by using Ah Fu's puppetization to collect it for your own use can you get the best benefits.

  As the silver liquid surged, the magic mirror was condensed by Xu Yue. With the input of mana, the palm-sized magic mirror quickly expanded into a large teleportation portal of about 2 meters. After a wave of fluctuations on the smooth mirror surface, the other side of the mirror showed a picture of Cairo thousands of miles away, and in the center of the picture was Ah Fu standing respectfully.

  "Master."

  "Yes."

  He nodded lightly in response. Without much greeting, he picked up the spirit butterfly in his hand and threw it directly into the mirror. Then he took out the metal solution tank that was used to hold Qingbai's hands from the space and threw it into the mirror.

  If it was a magic mirror that had not been strengthened before, this kind of teleportation between two continents would take at least several minutes to arrive. But now, after experiencing the strengthening +12 and the combined blade blessing, almost as soon as Xu Yue threw it into the mirror, Ah Fu on the other side was able to accept it smoothly.

  "Inside the metal tank is a transplantable biological prop. Try to see if you can successfully transplant and use it. As for this mutant, turn it into a puppet as quickly as possible. I will use her soon."

  "Got it, sir."

  After briefly instructing on the specific uses of this person and this object, Xu Yue took the magic mirror and walked quickly to Worthington II on the other side of the corridor. Psylocke had used a very sophisticated method to knock him out before, so even though the previous battle was not small, he was still in a coma and was not affected much.

  You know, Dr. Rao, who escaped with Worthington II not long ago, died miserably in the aftermath of the battle between Arclight and Xu Yue. He was destroyed by the raging invisible shock wave and died. Compared with the two, his luck is already very good.

  "As for this human, just take care of him and don't let him die."

  "Finally, Cairo can speed up the deployment. After this battle, it will be Tianqi's turn."

  "We are already arranging people to dig, sir. It will be completed in two days at most."

  While speaking, Xu Yue also picked up Worthington II who was leaning against the edge of the wall and threw it directly into the magic mirror.

  At this point, the goals of transferring Jimmy and rescuing Worthington II have been achieved. This Worthington laboratory has also lost its only attraction to him. What remains is to solve the chaotic battlefield outside the laboratory.   

  He turned the magic mirror in front of him into a liquid and took it back into his body. What appeared in his hand was the Fang Tian Hua Ji, which was surrounded by a faint evil spirit. After sensing the huge evil spirit surging outside, the Panlong weapon soul inside the halberd had long been hungry and thirsty.

  Therefore, as soon as the halberd appeared, a violent dragon roar shook the surrounding walls and trembled endlessly. The right hand holding the halberd tightened its force, and the wound on the back of the hand had been restored to its original state under the healing effect of the Red Prison. Only a small blood mark was left, which was slightly twisted with the contraction of the palm muscles.

  Then the halberd in his hand was swung out brazenly, and the whistling hurricane it set off swept the entire corridor with a violent roar. Wherever the halberd passed, the bricks, stones and steel along the way were all turned into dust and scattered, and Xu Yue shot out of the corridor along the wide hole opened by the halberd.

  ...…

  Outside, the chaotic battlefield did not calm down with the appearance of the X-Men, but became more and more intense.

  Originally, under the strong suppression of the Brotherhood members, the human forces suffered heavy casualties, and the territory they occupied was even more defeated. Without the blessing of modern weapons, human soldiers were beaten in all directions by the group of mutants with various means and basically strong bodies. Even with the help of a large number of contractors, they inevitably gradually entered a situation of total defeat.

  This overwhelming retreat situation lasted until more than a dozen X-Men joined the battlefield, and it was finally alleviated. Although they were all compatriots, their purpose of coming here was obviously not to help the Brotherhood kill humans wantonly. Therefore, as soon as they entered the battlefield, they clearly joined the human army and jointly resisted the fierce invasion of the Brotherhood members. To be

  honest, compared with this chaotic battlefield with at least thousands of people fighting crazily, only a dozen members of the X-Men mixed in can be called a drop in the bucket, but in this world of extraordinary existence, the appearance of a high-end combat force can often match hundreds or thousands of people.

  The most outstanding performances were undoubtedly Storm and Iceman. With only a few shots, they directly swept away all the previous decline of the human side, and revitalized their originally sluggish morale.

  After everyone was teleported to the battlefield by Night Walker, Storm's eyes turned white immediately. She decisively activated her ability to manipulate the weather and slowly rose above the battlefield with the support of the strong wind. Then the disasters came one by one.

  First, four or five huge tornadoes with a width of several meters swept across the battlefield. Wherever they passed, people flew around. The figures swallowed by the tornado were like poor clothes trapped in a drum washing machine, and could only wail and roll uncontrollably in the strong wind. In

  just a few breaths, at least dozens of Brotherhood members completely lost their ability to resist because of the raging tornado.

  Then the thunder came again. The dense silver snakes of lightning fell from Storm's open fingers. The moment they landed, they began to jump and extend in the crowd, forming a wide-ranging silver electric net. The figures in the electric net all foamed at the mouth and twitched and fell to the ground, which looked particularly spectacular.

  In terms of large-scale killing and skill performance, Storm is the best in the entire mutant group. Manipulating the weather and controlling the wind and thunder are often the powers that only gods in legends have.

  And if Storm, who controls this mythical power, lets go and exerts it at will, it is estimated that she alone can plow the entire Devil's Island. At that time, let alone the thousands of people in the melee, the violent sea of ​​thunder can even make the entire island barren and completely turn it into a dead island.

  Of course, this was the most extreme state. Storm, who still had her sanity, would never go so crazy. So although the raging wind and thunder sea seemed mighty, their power was within controllable range. Most of the Brotherhood members affected had completely lost their combat effectiveness, and only a few died. On

  the battlefield below, compared to the extremely high-profile Storm, another Iceman with a large-scale killing ability seemed much more wretched. He glanced at Professor Ororo who was showing off his power in the air. A few traces of fanaticism flashed in his eyes, but he quickly restrained them. Then he quickly squatted down and pressed his hands covered with white frost on the ground. In an instant, the cold wind surged and the temperature dropped sharply.

  With the sound of "crackling" of ice freezing, the thick white ice layer began to spread rapidly from the front of his hands. After just a few seconds, the area of ​​about tens of meters in front of him turned into an ice field. At least hundreds of people's soles and the ends of their calves were frozen and bound by ice, and it was difficult to break free for a while.

  Then it was Colossus and Logan's turn to take the stage. One of them had a metal skeleton, and the other had a steel body. Their incomparable bodies, coupled with their exaggerated weight, meant that they didn't even need to do anything else on the battlefield. They

  only needed to charge forward, and the enemies in front of them, who were still bound by ice and had no way to dodge, were easily harvested and fell to the ground like rows of crops standing in a field. From above, the whole scene was particularly comfortable.

  This was the role of high-end combat power. As soon as they appeared, they could make up for the disadvantage with absolute strength. In addition to Storm, Logan and others on the battlefield, Nightcrawler, Angel, Wolfsbane and other X-Men reserve forces were also working simultaneously.

  Blue shadows flickered in the crowd. Every time they appeared and disappeared, a member of the Brotherhood was inexplicably flashed to the sky above the sea outside the demons, and fell helplessly to the bottom of the sea while screaming.

  Angels hovered over the battlefield, their exaggerated wings wrapped in the wind and swooping down. The huge kinetic energy generated by this was enough to easily defeat the enemies under their feet every time they fell, just like a hawk hunting.

  For a while, each X-Men member showed his magical powers and soon completely reversed the situation. The human army, which had been suppressed to the vicinity of the laboratory, also launched a counterattack and gradually pushed the most intense battle front back to the center of the battlefield, and even had the posture of continuing to move forward.

  However, this good situation did not last long. As the high-end combat power of the Brotherhood began to take the initiative to attack, Storm, Logan and others were restrained and entangled one after another, so the situation on the battlefield eventually fell into the most tragic stalemate. As time went on, the bloody smell accumulated in Devil's Island became stronger and more pungent.

  In the center of the battlefield, Iceman panted and pulled his hands out of the ice. The long-term activation ability would put a heavy burden on his body. During the rest period, he did not attack again, but carefully moved his position to hide himself.

  According to Instructor Xinhuo, the more conspicuous one is on the battlefield, the faster one will die. Unless one's own strength is strong enough to withstand any risk, one must learn to hide oneself.

  Obviously, his frost ability is not strong enough to be as proud as Professor Ororo, so naturally he has to be more wretched.

  Thinking of this, he once again looked up at Storm, who was manipulating the wind and thunder and dominating the entire battlefield. However, as soon as he raised his eyes, he heard the roar of gunfire from all over the battlefield, followed by beams of fire flashing in the air, and finally exploded together.

  Various long-range attack methods formed a boiling sea of ​​fire above the battlefield, and in the center of the sea of ​​fire, Ororo, who was like a storm goddess not long ago, now fell straight from the sky to the battlefield like a bird with broken wings.
