"This... not good!"

Wade's pupils suddenly contracted.

Rorschach's eyes looked exactly like those of the guy Wade had captured some time ago—the one whose eyes could fire lasers.

Could this guy shoot lasers from his eyes too?

Sizzle!

The next moment, two incomparably blazing heat rays shot toward Wade.

A sense of mortal danger instantly washed over him.

At such close range, Wade had no chance to dodge.

But Wade was, after all, Stryker's number one fighter. His strength was practically cheat-level.

Even when surrounded by people firing submachine guns at close range, he could use his twin swords to slash apart every bullet. It would not be so easy for Rorschach to kill him.

Clang!

The sound of metal rang out as Wade drew one of the longswords from his back.

He simply held it horizontally before himself.

Bang!

Rorschach's two heat rays struck directly against Wade's blade.

Then an enormous force slammed into the sword, driving it hard into Wade's chest.

Wade was sent flying backward.

He crashed onto the ground like a dead dog.

Yet Rorschach's heat rays did not stop. They continued chasing Wade, cutting after him, but Wade was as nimble as a monkey, leaping and dodging from side to side.

Though it was extremely dangerous, he actually managed to evade Rorschach's attacks for the time being.

Could Rorschach really shoot Wade to death within five seconds?

No one knew.

Rorschach was certain that with just a little more time, he could definitely take Wade down. But five seconds was, frankly, still a bit too short.

Besides, Stryker's other special agents were no pushovers either.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several sounds of air tearing rang out as a few tranquilizer darts flew at Rorschach from different directions.

Tranquilizer darts were far slower than ordinary bullets. With Rorschach's current super vision and motion tracking, he could see them with perfect clarity.

And his body's reactions could completely keep up with that speed.

So Rorschach did not dodge. He merely swept his hands rapidly through the air before him.

All those tranquilizer darts were caught in Rorschach's hands.

"Heh heh!"

Rorschach then glanced at the special agents who had fired at him and let out a cold laugh. With a sharp flick of both hands, he shot the darts forward.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Rorschach used the tranquilizer darts as throwing knives and hurled them straight out.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Several tranquilizer darts flashed through the air, becoming blurry shadows.

Their force was even greater than when they had been fired from tranquilizer guns.

The special agents did not even have time to react before they were struck by the darts.

Not only that, the tremendous force carried by the darts actually knocked the agents who had been hit straight to the ground.

It was as if they had been hit by shotgun blasts rather than tranquilizer darts.

"Gulp!"

The sound of swallowing rang out. The surrounding special agents were all dumbfounded.

Even though they knew they were dealing with a mutant, wasn't this a bit too outrageous?

As Stryker's core force, it was not as though they had never seen mutants. In fact, Stryker's island held a large number of mutants prisoner.

Though many of those mutants possessed all sorts of abilities, their combat power generally was not that great. Most of them did not possess much fighting capability at all.

Even Sabretooth could help Stryker hunt down other mutants. That showed just how weak mutants at this stage generally were.

Someone as formidable as Rorschach was truly rare.

Whoosh!

The sound of air splitting rang out.

Wade had used that time to recover and came rushing toward Rorschach with twin swords in hand.

His blades gleamed with chilling light, carrying an incomparably fierce aura as they hacked viciously toward Rorschach.

With Rorschach's current speed, there was naturally no way Wade could hit him.

Rorschach swayed slightly and activated his super speed, evading Wade's twin swords in an instant.

Clang!

Both swords struck the ground, sending sparks flying.

At that very moment, Rorschach had already moved behind Wade.

His steel-like fist came crashing down toward Wade.

If it landed, Wade would undoubtedly end up like the werewolves in the tavern, his chest smashed apart by Rorschach.

But Wade was no ordinary man.

It was as if he had eyes in the back of his head. With a flick of his right hand, he thrust his longsword backward.

Straight at Rorschach's heart!

Under those circumstances, Rorschach naturally could not keep pressing forward. Wade had attacked where Rorschach had to defend, leaving him no choice but to shift aside and evade.

Wade used that lightning-fast instant to adjust again, turning around as his twin swords continued their assault on Rorschach.

"Worthy of Deadpool!"

A look of approval appeared in Rorschach's eyes.

Wade's movements were incredibly crisp, and he wielded the twin swords in his hands with dazzling skill.

Even though Rorschach could now move at nearly eighty meters per second, it was still difficult for him to kill Wade in a short time.

After all, no matter how fast Rorschach was, could he be faster than bullets?

Wade could even slash bullets out of the air, so he could naturally keep up with Rorschach's speed.

The easiest way to kill Wade was actually with heat rays, but unfortunately, Rorschach still could not use heat rays at will at this stage.

Of course.

That did not mean Rorschach was no match for Wade. There was still a considerable gap in their absolute strength, and there was no doubt that Rorschach could kill Wade.

It would just be a little more troublesome.

"Well, I can only say that Victor didn't die for nothing!"

While Rorschach silently praised Wade, Wade was equally impressed by Rorschach.

As a master swordsman, Wade could tell that Rorschach's fighting techniques were utter garbage, completely unstructured and without any method.

Yet even so, Wade was being suppressed so hard by him that he could barely catch his breath.

That could only mean one thing: the other man's physical abilities were simply far too powerful, even much stronger than Sabretooth's.

In fact, if Sabretooth did not possess that terrifying regenerative ability, his beast-like strength and explosiveness alone would not have been enough for Wade to kill.

"When you die later, it won't be unjustified either."

Rorschach raised an eyebrow at Wade, then turned his gaze toward a tree beside him.

A curve formed at the corner of his mouth. "You have weapons, but I'm empty-handed. That isn't fair, is it?"

As he spoke.

Rorschach wrapped both arms around the poplar tree, which was as thick as a thigh, and pulled upward with all his strength.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The earth around it churned upward in wave after wave of soil.

Under everyone's stunned gazes, Rorschach actually ripped the entire tree out of the ground!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

He casually swung it around in his hands like a club a few times. Surprisingly, it felt exceptionally handy.
