Xia Yu's Talent
Just moments ago, the bridge above was less than ten meters below. Doctor Strange had just had his gravity reversed, and by the time he realized Kaecilius was waiting for him below, it was too late to react.
Kaecilius gave him no chance to react, and pounced on him fiercely.
"No!!"
The Ancient One's shout echoed in Kaecilius's ears. As Doctor Strange drew ever closer, Kaecilius exerted all his strength in his hand.
A smug smile crept across his lips, as if he could already see Doctor Strange's tragic death and the Ancient One's despairing, pained gaze.
'Puff!!'
The familiar sensation of the energy blade entering his body traveled along the Blade's edge. Kaecilius looked up and was greeted by the sight of the Ancient One's large bald head.
At the critical moment, the Ancient One, using some secret technique or magical artifact, instantly appeared between Doctor Strange and Kaecilius.
Kaecilius's knife also plunged deep into the Ancient One's abdomen.
"No!!"
This time, it was Doctor Strange who let out a mournful cry.
Kaecilius stared blankly at the Ancient One before him, having thought countless times about killing her with his own hands, and countless times about seeing Ancient One sad and heartbroken expression.
But when the moment actually arrived, Kaecilius didn't feel quite happy.
Having been the Ancient One's apprentice for so long, Kaecilius's hatred for Ancient One was actually very complex.
He felt betrayed, longed for recognition, and most of all wanted to prove himself right in front of the Ancient One.
So when that moment truly arrived, Kaecilius slowly dissipated his energy blade and gently uttered a question to the Ancient One.
"Why?"
The Ancient One's face was full of relief, as if helping Doctor Strange block a fatal blow was a very happy thing.
Therefore, Kaecilius didn't need the Ancient One to answer; he already knew the answer.
I'm furious!
Yes, it was deep jealousy. We were both genius students, both of us secretly read forbidden books, and both of us secretly used the Eye of Agamotto. Why was I, a despicable traitor, willing to die to save him?
In that brief moment, Kaecilius's mind raced through countless thoughts.
Finally, fueled by overwhelming rage, he conjured an energy blade once more in a near-mad frenzy.
He stabbed the Ancient One hard in the heart.
"Since you're so eager to die, then go ahead and die!!"
The roar was somewhat manic, yet also seemed like a cathartic outburst.
But Doctor Strange had already realized what was happening.
He picked up the Ancient One in his arms, and with the help of the magic Cloak, he gently flashed to the left and flew away into the distance.
"I want you all dead!!"
Kaecilius roared again, his body radiating an extremely terrifying killing intent.
"Forget Mordo, all of you, get him! Grab the Ancient One and that Cloak guy!"
Kaecilius immediately ordered his men to abandon the pursuit of Mordo, and the group charged towards the Ancient One and Doctor Strange.
Despite his concern for their safety, Mordo relentlessly pursued and harassed several of Kaecilius's men.
However, firstly, there were too many of them for him to stop alone; secondly, they didn't care about his interference at all, relying on their thick skin and tough flesh, and sometimes they didn't even dodge Mordo's attacks.
At most, it will cause a small cut, which will heal on its own in a few minutes.
The encirclement was getting tighter and tighter, and it looked like Doctor Strange would soon have nowhere to hide.
Finally, it was Xia Yu's turn to appear.
Although Xia Yu, after being comforted by the Captain, decided to save Ancient One.
However, Xia Yu did not intervene when the Ancient One shielded Doctor Strange from the attack, because he knew that this was a carefully planned scheme by the Ancient One to unleash Doctor Strange's potential.
Xia Yu especially knew that this injury was not fatal to Ancient One at all. In the movie, Ancient One herself chose not to let her soul return to her body, which is why she truly died.
But if they don't come out now, Xia Yu is afraid that even Doctor Strange will die here.
So when the encirclement had shrunk to a certain extent, Xia Yu appeared.
Just then, Doctor Strange was being chased and, while running away, discovered that two more enemies had appeared ahead of him, leaving him nowhere to run.
Xia Yu appeared before Kaecilius' two henchmen.
It was so sudden that the two henchmen barely noticed that there was another person in front of them.
Before it could even stop or turn, it pounced straight at Xia Yu.
"Get out of here!"
Xia Yu roared at the two of them and unleashed two palm strikes from a distance.
Two powerful energies surged forth, striking the two men directly in the chest. The skin and scales on their chests shattered under the high-density energy, blood and flesh splattered, and their internal organs were exposed.
His body was blasted away a great distance by the powerful force.
The two dark creatures, whose defenses had been barely breached by the Kamar-Taj sorcerer's countless attacks (they had been modified to the point of being almost inhuman), were not only sent flying far away by Xia Yu's single strike, but also clearly lost their fighting ability for a period of time.
Doctor Strange only managed to fly to Xia Yu's side after the two men collapsed to the ground.
"You guys go first, head straight to the Avengers' base. We have people there, and the world's most advanced medical equipment. You take the Ancient One there to get her treated quickly."
Xia Yu's words were concise and to the point. Although Doctor Strange was somewhat resentful of Xia Yu, now was not the time to be coy.
With a wave of his hand, Doctor Strange, the Ancient One, and Mordo were all taken out of the Mirror Dimension and transported by Xia Yu directly to the entrance of the Avengers Compound.
Xia Yu showed off a little, and Kaecilius and the others who were flanking Doctor Strange from two directions stopped in front of Xia Yu.
"Xia Yu?"
Seeing Xia Yu's move just now, Kaecilius realized that he was not as simple as he had thought. Like Doctor Strange, he had previously underestimated the so-called Avengers.
"It's me! Oh my god, I wasn't looking closely. Are you humans evolved from loaches? How come you're so ugly? You'd better stay away from me, who knows what kind of unknown virus you're carrying."
Xia Yu never says anything nice.
Ancient One and the others were rescued, an Avengers from the Avengers arrived. Kaecilius, whom ordinary people call the Yu Shen of the Universe, initially wanted to maintain a semblance of his power. However, he was surprised to find that this Avengers, known as the strongest human on Earth, was so vicious.
"Ha ha!!"
Kaecilius laughed in fury, and retorted with disdain.
"I only learned today that Xia Yu, who claims to be the strongest human on Earth, is actually a piece of trash who can only talk and mock. You are hailed as a new god by those ignorant humans, but in my eyes, you Avengers are nothing."
Kaecilius slowly raised the energy blade in his hand towards Xia Yu, the provocation unmistakable.
Although Xia Yu injured two of his subordinates with his first move, his body had undergone another transformation a few days ago under the combined attack of Doctor Strange, and Mordo. The Dark Magic within him was now several times stronger than when he had just been modified.
Privately, they had also tested it, and found that if they went all out, their subordinates were no match for them in a single round, so Kaecilius did not take Xia Yu seriously.
To everyone's surprise, Xia Yu didn't care at all about what he said, and even felt a little happy for some reason.
"I don't know if I'm useless, but I'm definitely not just good at talking sarcastic things, I can also..."
Xia Yu stared at Kaecilius and the others with a serious expression, then suddenly began to sing.
"Betrayed my love..."
