MUP: Chapter 78. Moves

"Wait!"

The Beast raised his hand, and the surrounding ninjas and gang members that intended to encircle the group stopped. The Beast indifferently said, "Since I came here, I'll just move a little bit to help you solve this."

"I'm beginning to agree with what you said before. This guy seems too normal." Luke, in a rare moment, agreed to Jessica's words and raised his eyebrows.

However, at the Beast's words, Bullseye didn't have any doubts. He immediately said, "Then please, Sir Beast. As long as we can take care of these guys, Kingpin will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Beast?"

On the other side, Matt keenly noticed how Bullseye addressed the guy. The uneasiness in his heart grew, "Are you the Beast?!"

"Oh, you actually know me?" Hearing Matt's question, an unexpected smile bloomed on the Beast's lips.

'Worthy of my previous efforts to lay so much groundwork.'

"The Beast? Who's that?"

Of course, not everyone knew the name. Jessica's slender eyebrows jumped as she asked Matt and Luke, who looked at the guy with shocked expressions.

"A very dangerous person who seemed to have gotten the title of the ultimate king of killers. Ah Xing came to New York from Peng Lai because he was looking for him." Luke explained in a sombre tone.

"Ah Xing..."

When Luke said Ah Xing's name, Jessica's eyes changed for a moment. She looked at the Beast, who wasn't too far away.

"That means he is dangerous."

"You know Peng Lai?" Hearing the word Peng Lai coming out of Luke's mouth, the Beast's casual expression suddenly turned serious, "Then, I think I'll have to use a little more effort to find out where you guys know Peng Lai from."

"Guys, be careful. I think he's even more dangerous than any enemy we've encountered before."

Hearing the Beast's words, an alarm went off in Matt's heart. He had to warn his friends.

"You don't need to say it, I can feel it too." Habitually retorting, Jessica's expression couldn't relax. Especially after finding out that this guy was connected to Peng Lai.

"I think we should retreat for the time being."

A scene where he had to fight himself was ridiculous, but the clone had to play Wesley's role well. So, he suggested while making a stony expression.

Hearing that, the Beast laughed, "Retreat? With me here, none of you will be able to leave."

As his voice fell, in the next instant, his figure appeared in front of Matt and the others.

"His fast!"

Seeing the Beast appear right in front of them, the Defenders were stunned.

Matt's expression was particularly shocked. Even his super senses couldn't detect the trajectory of the Beast's movements.

Although shocked by the speed of the Beast, the Defenders quickly reacted. Luke rushed to stand in front, and Wesley took a shot at the Beast while standing behind him.

Well... took a shot at himself.

The curved bullet bypassed Luke's broad back and through a blind spot for the Beast.

However, for this mysterious and unpredictable attack, the Beast carelessly reached out and gently grabbed the bullet that came around the corner. He turned his palm to look at the warm bullet still smelling like gun powder. He spoke in disdain, "Come up with something real. Bullets are useless."

Seeing the guy catch a bullet right in front of their eyes, even the Defenders felt shocked.

Seeing the reputation points coming in one after another, Ryan, in the antique shop, felt happy. However, he had a bit of regret. It's a pity that Wesley was his clone. If he could see the scene with his own eye, how cool would that be?

Although there were some regrets, the show must go on.

Calming the shock in his heart, Luke's fist swung out. He raised his sandbag-sized fist and smashed it towards the Beast in front of him.

Faced with this heavy blow, the Beast smiled. He raised his hand, and it landed on Luke's body.

After receiving the blow from the Beast, Luke felt a dull tightness in his chest. Even though he had an invulnerable defence, he still had to take a couple of steps back to relieve the powerful force.

"Huh? Mixing martial art styles?"

Feeling the strange power in Luke's body, the Beast raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

In the next second, the Beast swiftly strode towards Luke. The Beast moved with no hesitation, "Let's see how hard your body really is. "

Facing continuous palm strikes from the Beast, Luke felt like a huge sandbag, powerless to fight back. He kept waving his arms, blocking the attacks. However, he couldn't catch up to the other party's speed.

Boom --

Finally, with a loud noise, Luke's tall figure crashed into the wall before falling down.

"So, it's not martial arts, just slightly thicker skin."

The beast looked at Luke and faintly said so.

On the other hand, Luke, who fell to the ground, struggled to get up. He felt a sharp pain all over his body, and blood trickled out of the corner of his lips.

[Reputation points from Luke Cage +225]

"Luke!"

Luke, who had always been invulnerable, was actually bleeding because of the Beast's attacks.

Jessica was shocked to see the scene. She looked back at the Beast, still standing there. She tightened her fist and then floated into the air.

"Jessica, don't!"

Noticing Jessica's move, Matt quickly tried to stop her. But apparently, she ignored his advice.

"Interesting... very interesting. It's clear that you haven't practised the Celestial Arts, but you can fly."

Raising his head, looking at Jessica floating in mid-air, the Beast spoke with interest.

"Something more interesting is coming."

Listening to those words from the Beast, Jessica coldly replied. Relying on the ability to fly, she kept picking up the heavy objects on the ground and viciously smashed them towards the Beast.
