Xia Yu Makes His Move

Thanos is an arrogant man. When he saw Xia Yu intervene in the battle and grab his axe, which was fully powered by the Power Stone, with one hand, he was shocked.

He unconsciously loosened his grip.

"So you're the one who defies fate, Xia Yu?"

Thanos took a step back, stood still, and asked Xia Yu.

"What about your Flash? Can't you throw an axe at him? You're already weaker than him, and now he's using Power Stone. You think you can fight him in close combat?"

"You always talk about conquering the Nine Realms, but what have you actually conquered? Besides wielding a hammer and using brute force to smash people, what else can you do?"

Xia Yu pounded on Thor's armor with one hand, making a loud thumping sound.

"Are you Xia Yu Fate's Rebel?"

Thanos stood a short distance away and repeated his question.

Xia Yu continued to nag and lecture Thor.

"Big brother... um, it seems like he's talking to you."

Thor pointed a finger at Thanos, feeling a little embarrassed; they were in the middle of a fight.

'Smack!'

Xia Yu reached out and slapped Thor's outstretched hand across the back of his hand.

A clearly visible five-finger print.

"Damn it, I'm talking to you about things to be careful about in battle, can't you concentrate? Why are you bothering with what this Purple Sweet Potato is saying?"

Xia Yu kept his head down and continued lecturing Thor, not even lifting his head to answer Thanos's question.

That's really awkward.

After all, he's considered a major villain in the movie.

It also has a notorious reputation throughout the universe.

When have I ever been so ignored?

Since you're unwilling to speak, then I'll beat you until you do.

Thanos clenched his right fist, still enhanced by the Power Stone.

A massive fist, accompanied by a thunderous roar, slammed down towards Xia Yu's head.

That fist was bigger than Xia Yu's head.

Even when faced with Thanos's infinitely powerful punch, Xia Yu didn't even raise his head.

He didn't even move his entire posture; his right hand was still gently resting on Thor's armor.

He simply extended his left hand casually.

He easily blocked Thanos's full-force punch with his palm.

A dull thud.

Everything returned to calm.

After blocking Thanos's punch, Xia Yu raised his head.

"Can't you see I'm disciplining my younger brother? Can't you wait until I'm done before you speak?"

"You've been nagging me incessantly, insisting that I pay attention to you first. Are you a three-year-old?"

Xia Yu's last words were almost a roar.

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Yu slammed his hand down.

Thanos's fist was too big for Xia Yu to handle.

All he could do was reach out and grab Thanos's ring and little fingers.

He grabbed two of Thanos's fingers with his left hand and pulled hard.

With both feet firmly planted on the ground, he leaped high into the air using the momentum.

He punched Thanos in the head with his right hand.

Xia Yu was too fast; Thanos didn't even have time to activate the Infinity Stones.

He could only open his left hand, palm facing outward, and hold it in front of his face.

After Xia Yu's physical body was destroyed last time, his newly formed body was mixed with a lot of the Infinity Stones's Source energy.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the best in the universe.

A punch delivered with all his might, along with Thanos's defensive left hand.

Xia Yu punched him right back.

The Infinity Gauntlet, slammed directly into Thanos's face.

Thanos was knocked backward by a single punch.

Xia Yu flashed behind Thanos, and before Thanos could even lean back, Xia Yu swung him into the air with a back-over-the-shoulder maneuver.

He tore open space and instantly appeared next to Thanos.

Using his waist as an axis, Xia Yu twisted his body, and his right leg lashed out like a whip.

It struck Thanos in the abdomen.

Thanos in mid-air like a meteorite.

Xia Yu kicked him back to the ground.

With a loud bang.

Dust filled the air.

Thanos smashed a crater seven or eight meters deep and tens of meters in diameter into the ground.

Tony, the Captain, and Thor had just gotten up.

The three of them walked together to the edge of the pit and stood next to Xia Yu.

"I feel like you're even stronger than before you were injured."

Tony looked at the huge crater in front of him with lingering fear and said...

Xia Yu was actually quite helpless; he couldn't use much energy right now.

Energy attacks are so powerful that even Thanos without any special equipment might not be able to break through his defenses, let alone Thanos with the five Infinity Stones.

I can only rely on my own physical strength.

Xia Yu's body was simply too powerful, making him incredibly fierce in battle with astonishing destructive force and excellent visual effects.

It looks even more powerful than before.

"Before, you could just move your fingers, but now you're fighting with your body, which definitely looks more exciting."

Xia Yu responded to Tony, but such a brutal, hand-to-hand combat felt really good.

At least the impact of a punch landing on someone is something you can't experience in energy-based combat.

Tony gave Xia Yu a disapproving look.

Well, if you're not injured, you can deal with him with just a flick of your finger.

The three of us were so exhausted we almost got beaten to death.

As the dust settled, Thanos was already standing at the bottom of the pit.

Staring intently at Xia Yu said, "I admit you are much stronger than I imagined, but this is not a contest for me, it's a war. I'm sorry, I have to use all my strength."

With a clenched left hand, the Reality Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet flashed.

A surge of power from the rules rushed directly towards Xia Yu.

The Reality Stone can alter the state of any substance or living being.

In the movie, Thanos used the power of this gem to turn all the Guardians of the Galaxy members except Gamora into plastic or something similar.

He even once turned Star-Lord's bullets into bubbles.

Thanos used the Infinity Stones.

Tony and Thor, in perfect unison, took a step back, removing themselves from Thanos's sight.

Each of them extended a hand and pulled the Captain back.

Thanos at the bottom of the pit didn't care. As long as he dealt with Xia Yu first, no one else posed much of a threat to him, who possessed five Infinity Stones.

One second...

Two seconds...

A dozen seconds later...

"Ah~ha!"

Xia Yu yawned out of boredom.

"Um?"

Thanos's eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets!

What's going on? Did I not use any gems just now?

Something's not right.

With a skeptical thought that he might be mistaken, Thanos tried again, and it was still the Reality Stone.

A dozen seconds later...

Xia Yu took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket.

I'll try to do what I saw in Hong Kong movies when I was a kid.

Use a ZIP lighter to slide the cap back onto your thigh and open it.

And then, just as smoothly, it ignited.

He took a deep breath and then plopped down on the edge of the pit.

His feet were directly in the large pit, swaying back and forth.

He leisurely exhaled a smoke ring.

Thanos threw off his helmet and scratched his bald head.

The Mind Stone shines...

Control your Mind Stone and trap you in a fantasy world.

Time Stone...

Space...

biu~biu~biu~biu~

Xia Yu finished his cigarette, but Thanos's various gems seemed to have sunk into the sea, showing no reaction whatsoever.

He held the cigarette butt between two fingers and flicked it hard at Thanos.

The cigarette butt hurtled toward Thanos like a bullet.

"You've been playing for ages, it's my turn!!"

Xia Yu followed closely behind the cigarette butt and lunged at Thanos.
