Chapter 69: Secret Weapon

As the gambler paid the intelligence tax with his life, the previously deadlocked battle situation immediately became clear.

Clark turned his head to look outside and saw that the Hand had been almost completely wiped out at this base by Old Pi, with only a few still stubbornly resisting, but they wouldn't last much longer.

The situation on Daredevil's side remained the same, nothing noteworthy.

It's worth mentioning Hawkeye, who, at some point, picked up the samurai sword that Clark had kicked away from the gambler, and was having a great time fighting Barney.

Although Hawkeye primarily uses a bow and arrow and his attacks were not decisive enough, completely being dominated by the opponent, it looked like he wouldn't lose anytime soon.

However, just when the Avengers seemed to have victory within their grasp, Madame Gao, who had been evenly matched with Daredevil, also witnessed the gambler's tragic death.

Knowing her chances were slim, she finally gave up on suppressing her injuries and suddenly roared, unleashing the energy used to suppress her injuries. A cane blast sent Daredevil flying backward, spewing blood, and crashing into a wall, unable to get up again.

"I'm going all out with you guys!"

In the midst of her roar, Madame Gao once again surged forward, aiming to take down someone with her before dying.

Seeing Madame Gao suddenly burst forward, Clark knew it wasn't good. He didn't even have time to pick up his Ruyi Jingu Bang from the ground and rushed out of the room. With a flick of his right hand from his bosom, he threw a metal box the size of a matchbox towards Madame Gao.

The moment the metal box was thrown, it suddenly began to enlarge, and by the time it reached Madame Gao, it had turned into a one-meter cube metal box.

This box was the one Clark used to carry his Black Knight suit.

Madame Gao snorted coldly and slammed a palm on the iron box, not expecting to suffer a great loss.

Clark's strength was already astonishing, and with the metal box's sudden increase in weight, the force was compounded to a terrifying degree.

After the strike, although the metal box was knocked down, Madame Gao was also forced back several steps by the rebound force, spitting out a large mouthful of blood mist.

By this time, Clark had already arrived, opened the metal box, took out a banner, and with a flick, it turned into a cloth stick. Without hesitation, he took over the job from Daredevil and fought Madame Gao.

This banner was a gift from Nalan Rong to Doctor Strange, who casually passed it to Clark. Clark, eager to escape in the chaos, carried it with him until he completely shook off all the agents and then stored it in the metal box.

Unexpectedly, it would come in handy.

Madame Gao was already injured. After giving up on suppressing her injuries and unleashing a powerful attack that severely injured Daredevil, she was essentially burning her candle at both ends. After being further injured by Clark's iron box, her aura weakened significantly.

The energy might be strong, but it wasn't infinite. Even Madame Gao, who had cultivated for four hundred years, had to be careful in its use.

Otherwise, the Avengers would have been wiped out in the previous battle.

Now, Madame Gao, after a full-force outbreak, was no match for Clark's full-force attack.

After a few moves, Clark hit her on the head with the banner.

Madame Gao, dead!

"Barney!"

Almost at the same time Madame Gao died, a heart-wrenching roar came from another battlefield downstairs. Looking over, it was Old Pi who had finished mowing the lawn, taking advantage of the fierce fight between the Hawkeye brothers to blow Barney's head off with a shot.

Hawkeye, mourning the loss of his brother, held Barney's body in his arms, but it was too late.

Seeing this, Clark decisively gave up on intervening. In fact, he was completely clueless about Hawkeye and Barney's situation, not knowing enough to comment, better off not saying anything.

He immediately rushed into the surveillance room, remembering Barney coming back with a black leather case, which seemed to contain something very important.

The battle was won, and the spoils of war could not be forgotten.

The leather case was on the surveillance room table, not hidden. Opening it, Clark found only two dried-up beast bones inside, but he felt a wild power hidden within, seeming not just a simple dead object.

Could this be the legendary dragon bone?

It's said that the Iron Fist lineage in Kunlun requires the inheritor to defeat the divine dragon, Shou Lao, take its heart fire to strengthen themselves, thereby gaining incredibly powerful fists.

Shou Lao would then revive after a period, waiting for the next Iron Fist inheritor.

...Okay, I admit, this is a dragon even more tragic than Prince Ao Bing.

And the dragon bone is what remains after Shou Lao dies. According to records, the secret to Madame Gao and her group's longevity was based on this object.

After resealing the case and zipping it up, Clark left the surveillance room and then searched Madame Gao's body, confirming that this unfortunate boss didn't drop any items, and finally pulled out something resembling a handgun from his waist, aimed at her body, and gently pressed the trigger.

"Biu!"

As a beam hit her body, Madame Gao's corpse instantly disappeared, turning into a lump of blood-colored substance similar to thick phlegm.

This was Clark's secret weapon, not deployed in his previous battle with Three Fingers.

Old Pi said it was a failure, and he wasn't wrong.

This device, a byproduct of Clark's attempt to create Pym Particles, couldn't enlarge or shrink organic life as intended.

Living beings hit by it would instantly turn into pus and blood, just like Madame Gao's corpse.

Although a failure, Clark saw it as an essential item for home travel, murder, and evidence destruction!

After completely eradicating Madame Gao's existence from the world, ensuring even the Hand couldn't revive her, Clark then returned to the previous battlefield.

First, he retrieved his Ruyi Jingu Bang, then after wiping off the blood, he tossed it aside and started searching for his spoils of war.

Not just because the gambler's intelligence was cursed, but also because Clark single-handedly defeated this boss without borrowing anyone else's strength.

After some searching, Clark found a book that seemed like a secret manual.

"Gas-Related Flu"

Among the characters on the cover, Clark recognized only one Chinese character.

Is this thing, a secret manual?
