Chapter 248
This demonstrates that their Willpower and faith are extremely firm; force can only destroy them, not conquer them.
Second, he wanted to have more time alone with Ying Li.
Before Ying Li, Su Quan was very ambitious and his motives were not pure.
First, there's the regret over her fate; second, she possesses the Dragon Power and can use the Ten Rings, making her a formidable fighter.
Finally, she is beautiful and represents the Ta Lo; accepting her is like firmly binding the Ta Lo to one's own chariot.
Once I've taken control of the Time Variance Authority, they can play a vital role, whether as Time Guardians or in dealing with the frequent Multiverse wars of the future.
On a side note, Su Quan's frantic recruitment of people in the DC and Marvel Universes seems unnecessary, since with his strength, he doesn't seem to need any subordinates at all.
However, if the Sacred Timeline is broken and the 'script' forcibly set by the Variant disappears, the development stage of the Multiverse may shift from a [Marvel Cinematic Universe] to a [Marvel Comics Universe].
When the time comes, all sorts of powerful figures will make their appearances, and events that destroy the world Multiverse will occur one after another. Without subordinates, what's the point of playing this game?
A lone commander has only two outcomes: either he's busy killing all the invaders every day and loses his own life, or he lives in seclusion, out of sight, out of mind.
The problem is that even if you don't want to get involved in an event of this magnitude, they won't let you off the hook.
You go out to conquer and crush the entire territory, but there's one place where people want to leave each other alone. Would you agree to that?
Impossible!
They'll only see you as a thorn in their side!
They'll treat you like a holdout and try every possible way to get rid of you.
Can Su Quan take this insult?
If you don't want to lose your life and don't want to be bullied, the only way is to actively build up your power and become the largest, or even the only, power.
In this way, even if a war breaks out, there will be subordinates to deal with it.
For example, in ancient times, if someone invaded the border, no matter how powerful the emperor was, he couldn't possibly deal with it all by himself, right?
Is this like being an emperor or a nanny?
But I digress. Let's get back to the present.
Before Ying Li, Su Quan was very ambitious, but after Ying Li, especially after getting to know her, he found that Ying Li indeed very charming.
She possesses many of the virtues of traditional Eastern women, and her personality is also very likable.
Perhaps because he was surrounded by Europeans and Americans, he had become somewhat accustomed to their personality, style, values, and logic. Now, upon suddenly encountering Ying Li's pure and ancient Eastern style, Su Quan was indeed quite fascinated.
Speaking of Easterners, Su Quan has his share of them.
For example, Shado from the Arrowverse is an Asian, but her values are actually very similar to those of Europeans and Americans, and she speaks fluent English.
"Um?"
During their exchange, they passed each other again, but this time they didn't make eye contact. Instead, they turned their heads to look at the bamboo forest with perfect understanding.
The wind whistled, and a rumbling sound came from the bamboo forest.
A few seconds later.
A colossal creature burst out of the bamboo forest and appeared before the two.
This is a man.
To be precise, he was an extremely tall and obese man whose clothing and physique gave him the appearance of a sumo wrestler.
Where is the entrance to the Ta Lo?
The moment he opened his mouth, he spoke standard Mandarin.
"Leave. Don't cause trouble for yourself. You're not welcome here," Ying Li said coldly.
"You probably don't know who I am," the newcomer said smugly. "I come from Penglai, Seven Cities of Heaven, and I am the Immortal Weapons of Penglai, the Cobra."
Cobra?
Come on, with your pig-like figure, tell me, in what way do you resemble Cobra?
Are there Cobras this fat?
Seemingly sensing the suspicious looks from Su Quan and Ying Li, he added, "Everyone calls me Fat Cobra."
Yes, that's right!
"Cobra or Fat Cobra, it's all the same, you're not welcome here." Ying Li's attitude did not change after he introduced himself.
Fat Cobra was quite decisive; he nodded and prepared to start the fight.
"Be careful, the opponent has a power similar to that of Dragon Power."
"I will."
Ying Li responded and charged straight at the Fat Cobra.
Let's start fighting!
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Qi (Fat Cobra)"
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward: 5 Points"
Su Quan, who had stepped aside to watch the battle, sensed the aura of the Fat Cobra. His aura, along with that of Nine Spider Lady and Madame Gao, were of the same origin and had already merged together.
The Seven Cities of Heaven several Immortal Weapons, such as the Iron Fist of Kunlun and the Nine Spider Lady of Spider City.
Penglai is the name used outside the capital; the corresponding name of the Seven Cities of Heaven is the Turtle City, and the Immortal Weapons here is the Cobra.
Iron Fist, Nine Spider Lady, Cobra —these are all names shared by Immortal Weapons throughout history.
To be honest, Su Quan was quite surprised that Fat Cobra would appear here, after all, he has the inheritance of Penglai, and Ta Lo has nothing to do with Penglai or the Seven Cities of Heaven.
What is he doing here?
For the power of the Ta Lo? Or... for the Soul Eater?
Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to have been bewitched or instigated by the Soul Eater.
Despite the unexpected turn of events, Su Quan wasn't worried, given that many people had tried to get into Ta Lo over the years.
Anyone who knows Ta Lo and has made it this far must be quite skilled.
But none of them succeeded!
The movie also doesn't show that anyone had entered the Ta Lo before Wenwu appeared.
In other words, Fat Cobra was destined to fail and was destined to be no match for Ying Li.
Of the seven Immortal Weapons in the Seven Cities of Heaven, only the Iron Fist is truly outstanding in strength.
After all, Iron Fist's Dragon Power is something that can rival the Phoenix Force.
If Iron Fist and Ying Li were to fight, the outcome might be unpredictable!
Others...
Even if there is some energy, it's not a big deal. After all, Ying Li's Dragon Power is not something to be taken lightly!
P. S.: I have to go out for a while and I don't know when I'll be back tonight. If I get back early, I'll continue writing; if I get back late, there will only be one update today. I'll make up for it later.
Although Su Quan was certain that Fat Cobra was no match for Ying Li, his strength was indeed considerable.
Despite being as fat as a pig, he is incredibly agile and nimble, possessing both high attack and defense, and boasts a wealth of fighting skills and combat experience.
Ying Li wants to win, it will probably take some time and effort.
"Drink!" the Fat Cobra roared, gathering his energy in his hand, which gleamed brightly, and then unleashed a powerful punch.
Ying Li neither dodged nor evaded, but instead gathered the Dragon Power in her hand and threw a punch.
"Bang!"
They collided.
The tremendous impact sent bamboo leaves flying and the bamboo forest rustling.
Ying Li long, flowing hair billowed behind her, but her feet seemed rooted to the ground, remaining perfectly still, standing like pine trees.
On the other hand, the Fat Cobra grunted and staggered back several steps, its greasy body swaying in waves, making it quite unsettling to look at.
"Again!"
The Fat Cobra roared indignantly and charged at Ying Li, who remained calm and composed.
Speaking of which, the country where Fat Cobra belongs, Penglai, is located in a country where people live a comfortable life, unlike the mysterious, powerful, and ethereal world one might imagine.
The mainstream occupation of Penglai, or rather, the main occupation of most people in Penglai, is pig farming.
You could say that Penglai is a pig farm, Penglai's Immortal Weapons are the warriors protecting the pig farm.
The prestigious Penglai, Seven Cities of Heaven, is actually a pig farm. Doesn't that sound incredibly pretentious?
However, Penglai has a guardian beast similar to the Kunlun Divine Dragon— Xiang Yao!
