The sudden change in music startled everyone.

Li Congxin took this opportunity to quickly bring up the system page to investigate the new BGM.

This music had appeared so strangely, with absolutely no warning. It had replaced the original music without so much as a by-your-leave, which was a bit of a bummer!

Wind and Cloud 2

Level: 1 (Cannot be upgraded)

Effect: Has a chance to trigger when the host encounters a life-or-death crisis. Once triggered successfully, the host will temporarily control the power of one of the three divine skills from Wind and Cloud for a certain period.

The description was simple and clear, but it left him utterly confused.

Triggering during a life-or-death crisis – did that mean it couldn't be triggered at will, and he'd just have to rely on luck?

Relying on looks was fine. After Li Congxin lost weight, his appearance had already reached the level of "utterly unremarkable." In recent days, thanks to the effect of Kan Wo 72 Bian, his attractiveness had been increasing daily, already surpassing the handsome actors who played superheroes in movies, and he was even starting to rival Ronan from the classic era.

But relying on luck… that was another story.

Fortunately, his luck seemed to be pretty good today. The moment the BGM awakened, it had triggered successfully.

He just wondered which three divine skills were referred to as the three divine skills of Wind and Cloud?

Wuqiu Yi Jue?

Sword Twenty-Three?

Maha Wuliang?

Or Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin?

There were simply too many peerless divine skills in Wind and Cloud. Although, due to system limitations, they couldn't pose a real threat to the already-refined Purple Sweet Potato, quite a few of them could go head-to-head with the Green Hulk's ultimate moves.

Li Congxin didn't know which three were ranked in the top three, but any martial art that ranked highly in Wind and Cloud would at least be able to deal with the three old monsters in front of him without any issues.

With his mind full of anticipation, Li Congxin continued to read.

Then, his smile gradually froze on his face.

Wind and Cloud 2 BGM triggered successfully, activating one of the three divine skills of Wind and Cloud: Not Beneath Me Divine Skill!

Not Beneath Me: After the current battle triggered by the BGM ends, within one day, you can target your opponent and say the phrase "You are not beneath me." This will form a curse effect, causing the opponent's ability in a certain aspect to rapidly decline, potentially never to rise again.

Its terrifying power could be called the number one "poisonous milk" in history!

Note: Each use of the "Not Beneath Me" divine skill will consume 1 million Impression Points. If the Impression Points are insufficient, it cannot be used.

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

What was this "Not Beneath Me," the number one "poisonous milk" in history? It sounded quite powerful, but the problem was that it offered no help whatsoever in the battle Li Congxin was currently facing!

As for what happened after the battle, it would only be meaningful if he survived until after the battle!

And now, with the newly awakened BGM, not only did it offer no help in the current situation, but it had also replaced the effect of the original A Man Should Better Himself. He couldn't even switch it back.

With a wry smile, Li Congxin gripped his cloth staff and said in a deep voice, "Since they've already set up a trap to deal with us few who usually oppose them, they definitely won't let us leave easily. If that's the case, what else is there to say? Let's fight!"

He scanned the three enemies and said proudly, "Everyone, stay sharp. None of these three old geezers are simple. They are even far superior to us, and certainly not comparable to the ordinary ninjas we easily dealt with before. Don't be careless."

"Understood!" The Punisher was already moving towards Murakami, who was dressed in ninja attire. "I'll take care of this guy. Say, old man, you don't mind if I bully you with a handgun, do you?"

Murakami slowly drew his katana. "Relying on external tools is merely a minor path."

On the other side, Daredevil also stepped towards Bakuto, who exuded the most aggressive aura. He separated his twin clubs, preparing for battle without a word.

And his chosen opponent, Bakuto, also slowly drew his blade without a word, preparing for battle.

Seeing that these two had already chosen their opponents, Li Congxin could only smile wryly in his heart. Did they really think that this old lady in front of them was the weakest of the three opponents?

However, he didn't say much. He couldn't tell who was stronger or weaker among these three, only that Madame Gao was definitely not simple.

While tightening his grip on the cloth staff, Li Congxin said, "Hawkeye, please provide support from the rear for all three of us. Hit-Girl, you're responsible for protecting Hawkeye." He said this not because he truly wanted the little girl to fight, but just to give her something to do and prevent her from causing trouble.

After speaking, Li Congxin made the first move, swinging his cloth staff in a wide arc, launching a fierce attack on Madame Gao.

As soon as Li Congxin moved, it was like a single drop of water falling into a hot oil pan; the calm scene immediately became lively.

Five superheroes against three fingers of The Hand – the battle was truly spectacular. The battlefield was divided into three sections, with each scene unfolding differently.

The fight between Daredevil and Bakuto was upright and honorable. Both were true martial artists, making their combat the most visually appealing.

On the other side, The Punisher and Murakami were two cold-blooded killers. The only difference was that one used a gun and the other a sword. Their every move was deadly, and the situation was fraught with peril. A moment's carelessness for either would mean certain death.

Li Congxin's battle was the most invigorating. His cloth staff was wielded with immense power, and the amplified force was no less than that of a steel greatsword. Furthermore, the flexibility of the cloth staff allowed him to absorb some of the recoil.

With these two factors combined, he could barely compensate for the absolute gap in explosive power between him and Madame Gao. His cloth staff clashed with her cane, the back-and-forth exchanges each producing a thunderous boom that echoed through the empty park like the beating of war drums.

Under the cover of the other two, Hawkeye could confidently stand his ground and output damage, with the little loli guarding his sides. While his arrows were incredibly sharp against ordinary people, their threat was significantly limited against these three old monsters who had lived for over four hundred years. He could only provide some minor interference, at most relieving his teammates when they were in a pinch.

You have to admit, under the pressure of the three fingers of The Hand, the five superheroes gradually developed a tacit understanding. Although they were constantly on the defensive and their injuries were worsening, their coordination improved, and they were getting hit less frequently.

However, the damage they had already sustained wasn't so easily recovered.

Li Congxin's situation was relatively better. With the advantage of his weapon and Hawkeye's support, he could barely defend himself. But Daredevil and The Punisher had both sustained injuries to varying degrees. Daredevil had a cut on his rib from Bakuto, bleeding profusely, while The Punisher had taken a heavy punch to the back from Murakami, nearly spitting out his internal organs. Their combat effectiveness had been greatly diminished.

At this rate, they wouldn't last much longer!
