The sudden change in music left everyone stunned.

Li Congxin took advantage of the moment to quickly pull up the system interface and investigate the details of the new BGM.

This song had appeared far too strangely, completely without warning. It had actually replaced the original music without even saying hello. What a rip-off!

"Fung Wan 2" Level: 1 (cannot be upgraded) Effect: Has a chance to activate when the host encounters a life-or-death crisis. Once successfully activated, the host will temporarily control the power of one of the three supreme skills from "Fung Wan" for a certain period of time.

The introduction was simple and clear, yet it left people completely baffled.

Did having a chance to activate during a life-or-death crisis mean it could not be activated at will, and that he could only leave it to luck?

There was no problem relying on his looks. After successfully losing weight, Li Congxin's appearance had already reached the level of "plain and unremarkable." In recent days, under the effects of Kan Wo 72 Bian, his looks had been improving by the day. He had already surpassed the handsome men who played superheroes in the movies and was showing signs of catching up to Ronan in his younger days.

But when it came to luck, that was hard to say.

Fortunately, his luck seemed pretty good today. The moment the BGM awakened, it activated successfully.

He just did not know which three supreme skills the so-called "Fung Wan" skills referred to.

Wuqiu Yi Jue?

Sword Twenty-Three?

Maha Wuliang?

Or Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin?

There were far too many peerless skills in "Fung Wan." Although they could not pose any real threat to the purple sweet potato that had already become a monster because of the limitations of their power system, there were still quite a few that could take on Green Hulk's ultimate moves.

Li Congxin had no idea which three great techniques ranked at the top, but any renowned martial art from Fung Wan would certainly have no trouble wiping out the three old monsters before him.

Filled with anticipation, Li Congxin continued looking down.

Then, his smile gradually stiffened on his face.

"Fung Wan 2" BGM activated successfully. One of the three supreme skills of Fung Wan activated: Not Beneath Me Divine Skill! Not Beneath Me: Within one day after the battle that triggered the BGM ends, this can be used against an opponent involved in the battle. By saying the words "You are not beneath me," a curse effect can be formed, causing the opponent's ability in a certain area to rapidly decline, possibly leaving them unable to rise again for the rest of their life. Its power was so terrifying that it could be called the greatest poisonous compliment in history! Note: Each use of the "Not Beneath Me" Divine Skill consumes 1,000,000 Impression Points. It cannot be used if the Impression Points are insufficient.

Li Congxin had never imagined that after finally awakening a BGM, it would have this kind of effect.

What was this "greatest poisonous compliment in history," Not Beneath Me? It sounded pretty powerful, but the problem was that it offered Li Congxin no help whatsoever in the battle he was facing right now!

As for what happened after the battle, that would only matter if he survived until then!

And now, not only had the newly awakened BGM failed to help the battle, it had also replaced the effect of the original A Man Should Better Himself, and he could not even switch it back.

Li Congxin gave a bitter smile, shook the cloth staff in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Since they have already laid an inescapable net to deal with us troublemakers who usually like to oppose them, they definitely won't let us leave easily. Since that's the case, what else is there to say? Fight!"

His gaze swept across the three enemies, and Li Congxin said proudly, "Everyone, stay sharp. None of these three old bastards is simple. They may even be far stronger than us. They're nothing like those ordinary ninjas we easily killed before, so don't let your guard down."

"Understood!" Punisher had already walked toward Murakami, who was dressed in a ninja outfit. "I'll take this guy. Old man, you won't mind if I bully you with a handgun, right?"

Murakami slowly drew the samurai sword from his hand. "Relying on external objects is nothing but a lowly path."

On the other side, Daredevil also strode toward Bakuto, whose aura was the sharpest. He spread the twin batons in his hands to either side and silently prepared for battle.

Bakuto, the opponent he had chosen, likewise said nothing as he slowly drew his sword and prepared for battle.

Seeing the two of them choose their opponents so directly, Li Congxin could only smile bitterly inwardly. Do you really think this old lady is the weakest of the three?

However, he did not say anything more. He could not tell which of the three was stronger or weaker; he only knew that Madame Gao before him was definitely no simple opponent.

As he wound the cloth staff in his hand even tighter, Li Congxin said, "Hawkeye, I'm sorry for the trouble, but handle support from the rear for all three fronts. Hit-Girl, protect Hawkeye." He did not truly want the little girl to fight. He was merely finding her something to do so that she would not rush in and cause trouble.

After saying that, Li Congxin attacked first. He swung the cloth staff in a full circle and launched a fierce assault at Madame Gao.

The moment Li Congxin moved, it set off a chain reaction. Like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil, the peaceful scene instantly became lively.

Five superheroes faced three of The Hand's five fingers, and the battle was truly spectacular. The battlefield split into three sections, each with a completely different scene.

Daredevil and Bakuto fought in an upright, orthodox fashion. Both were true martial artists, making their battle the most impressive to watch.

On the other side, Punisher and Murakami were two cold-blooded killers. The only difference was that one used a gun while the other used a sword. Every move was lethal, and danger lurked everywhere. Either of them would die on the spot if they were even slightly careless.

Li Congxin's battle was the most blood-pumping of all. Once his cloth staff was unleashed, it was filled with power. The force it amplified was no weaker than that of an iron staff—in fact, it was even stronger. At the same time, the cloth staff's flexibility allowed it to disperse some of the rebound force.

With the two advantages combined, it barely made up for the absolute gap in explosive power between him and Madame Gao. The cloth staff and her cane went back and forth, and every collision produced a thunderous boom. In the empty park, it was like the beating of war drums.

With the other three covering them, Hawkeye could stand in place and fire without restraint, with the little girl guarding his sides. His bow and arrows were indeed extremely deadly against ordinary people, but against the three old monsters who had lived for more than four hundred years, they posed very little threat. At most, they could provide some interference and help his teammates out of a tight spot.

It had to be said that under the pressure of The Hand's three fingers, the five superheroes gradually developed a tacit understanding. Although they were the ones constantly taking a beating and their injuries were growing worse, their improved coordination meant that they were struck less and less often.

However, the health they had already lost could not recover so quickly.

Li Congxin was doing relatively well. Thanks to his weapon's advantage and Hawkeye's support, he could barely protect himself. Daredevil and Punisher, however, had both suffered injuries of varying severity. Bakuto had slashed Daredevil beneath the ribs, and blood kept pouring out. Punisher had taken a heavy punch from Murakami to the back of his heart, nearly coughing up his internal organs. His fighting strength had already been greatly reduced.

They could not hold out much longer!
