Chapter 172

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several flying blades shot out under Chen Ye's control, cutting down the Chitauri soldiers.

With Chen Ye's current mental strength, each blade he launched had more penetrating power than a rifle bullet!

Even the Chitauri's armor couldn't withstand the sharpness of these blades.

Soon enough, the Chitauri surrounding Chen Ye started falling one after another.

The Chitauri tried to fight back, constantly firing their energy guns at Chen Ye.

However, once Chen Ye activated his Armament Haki, the energy blasts felt like nothing more than a tickle!

The only thing that affected him was the heat...

As the two sides exchanged fire, it was clear that Chen Ye had the absolute upper hand.

Chen Ye continued to walk leisurely, as if he was just strolling through his own backyard.

And wherever he went, Chitauri soldiers dropped to the ground.

These Chitauri grunts were completely unable to stop Chen Ye's advance.

"Boom!"

A massive energy cannon suddenly descended from the sky, striking Chen Ye hard.

For the first time, Chen Ye's body paused.

"This is an energy cannon from a Chitauri aircraft. Not bad, but it's still far from breaking through my defenses! The high temperature is a bit troublesome, though..."

Most energy weapons come with intense heat.

At this moment, Chen Ye's upper clothing had been mostly burned away, leaving just a few tattered pieces covering him. Thankfully, his pants were still intact, or that would have been embarrassing...

Whoosh—

Two aircrafts flew toward Chen Ye, continuously firing energy cannons.

To avoid losing his pants, Chen Ye used his telekinesis to form a vortex around himself. The energy blasts that hit him were deflected, changing direction and hitting the ground nearby.

Blocking the energy blasts directly with telekinesis wasn't out of the question, but it would be too wasteful of his mental energy.

The next moment.

As the aircrafts approached, Chen Ye slightly raised his hand, then pressed down...

With a surge of powerful telekinesis, the flight paths of the aircrafts were altered, causing them to crash directly into the ground!

"Boom! Boom!"

Before they even got close to Chen Ye, both aircrafts were destroyed in the crash!

The aircrafts were moving at high speed, so the impact was tremendous. If Chen Ye had tried to freeze them in mid-air with his telekinesis, it might have been too difficult with his current mental strength. But altering their flight paths was a piece of cake.

Afterward.

Without even glancing at the wreckage, Chen Ye continued walking forward.

Since the battle with the Chitauri began, Chen Ye hadn't dodged once. He moved confidently, as if he was taking a casual stroll.

And by now, he'd already killed dozens of Chitauri!

This brazen fighting style had long drawn the attention of countless onlookers...

"Damn, who is this guy? His powers are insane! He's barely moving, and he's already killed so many Chitauri!"

"Do you even need to ask? That's gotta be the great Asura!"

"Shit, has the great Asura finally stepped in?"

"The guy's a legend for a reason—his power is terrifying!"

"Hmph, he's just a reckless fool. Watch, with all this showing off, he'll be in big trouble when the Chitauri army arrives!"

...

Many Reincarnators hiding in the shadows saw Chen Ye and started chattering.

On a rooftop, "Hawkeye" Clint Barton watched Chen Ye take down enemies as if he were out for a walk. He couldn't help but ask over the comms, "Does anyone know that Chinese kid on 13th Street?"

After a moment, Tony Stark's angry voice came through the comms: "He's a thief!"

"A thief?" Black Widow couldn't help but ask, "Tony, did he steal your girlfriend?"

"Worse than that!" Iron Man Tony Stark replied furiously.

Captain America's voice came on: "Stark, focus on the bigger picture. We need to defeat Loki and drive these aliens away!"

Clearly worried Tony might do something reckless, Cap stepped in to remind him.

Hawkeye suddenly said, "That Chinese kid is making a big scene. A lot of aliens are converging on his position. Should we give him a hand?"

"No need! This guy can run if he has to!" Tony replied.

He was referring to the fact that Chen Ye had his own armor.

...

Chen Ye was indeed making a big scene, showing no intention of hiding.

More and more Chitauri were converging on him, trying to take down this "tough nut."

However, the regular Chitauri soldiers were no match for Chen Ye.

Chen Ye didn't even need to break stride; with just his telekinesis, he effortlessly dealt with the small fry.

When aircrafts came, Chen Ye could use his telekinesis to drag them down from the sky and crash them!

Finally!

Chen Ye's actions had enraged the Chitauri.

A giant reptilian creature charged at Chen Ye.

Just as everyone thought Chen Ye would retreat, he instead gave a faint smile:

"Finally, something worth my time!"

As he spoke, Chen Ye pulled out the Riot Gauntlet and slipped it onto his hand.

In the next moment.

Instead of retreating, Chen Ye quickened his pace, launching a charge at the giant creature.

"Is that guy insane?"

From his vantage point on the rooftop, Hawkeye couldn't help but mutter.

The others also turned their attention to Chen Ye...

"Buzz, buzz—"

Due to its massive size, the giant creature caused the ground to tremble as it moved.

Seeing the tiny human charging at it, the creature grew enraged and lunged at Chen Ye.

Compared to the towering monster, the 1.8-meter-tall Chen Ye looked minuscule—he wasn't even as big as the creature's head!

However.

Size doesn't always determine strength.

"Crack!"

With a thought, Chen Ye transformed the Riot Gauntlet into a massive iron ball, covering his right hand.

The iron ball was covered in sharp spikes!

As he neared the giant creature, Chen Ye's eyes narrowed sharply.

Brutal charge!

Activated!!

Instantly, it was as if a layer of crystalline light enveloped Chen Ye.

He charged straight at the giant beast, raised his right hand, and swung the massive spiked iron ball, delivering a punch right to the creature's face!

This punch was remarkably similar to the Hulk's iconic entrance punch!

In fact.

If Chen Ye wanted to take down this giant creature, he could have done so more easily with his black blade, Qiushui.

But he chose to fight violence with violence to demonstrate his power to S.H.I.E.L.D., paving the way for the Avengers 2 mission...

Boom!!!

A thunderous explosion echoed through the streets of New York City!
