Red Hulk Delivers Himself to His Death, Jean Grey Is Enraptured

The parking lot.

Chen Xi gentlemanly opened the car door for her. Jean Grey softly thanked him, swayed her graceful body, and sat in the passenger seat.

It was already close to eleven, yet New York's streets remained bustling and dazzling, with cars constantly streaming past.

In this nation of automobiles, cars truly were an extremely important companion for every family.

By harvesting wealth from all over the world, gasoline here was so cheap that it cost even less than bottled water. It was simply unimaginable.

Night belonged to high-horsepower cars. Street racers were everywhere, recklessly revving their engines, and energetic young punks were naturally everywhere as well.

The nighttime breeze brushed against her cheeks, dispersing some of her drunken haze and some of her worries.

Jean Grey enjoyed this sense of peace. Looking at Chen Xi beside her—his perfect profile, his focused expression—a trace of dazed reluctance suddenly crossed her heart.

It wouldn't be so bad to marry an ordinary man like this and spend the rest of my life with him. Supporting my husband and raising children, living happily together.

"Drive slower..."

Jean Grey suddenly said in a low voice.

She was afraid that this short journey would reach its end too soon~

"Alright."

Chen Xi merely answered with a single soft word, then tapped on some music and let it play quietly.

Let youth stir your long hair and let it lead your dreams

Before you knew it, the history of this mortal world had remembered your smile

A red heart beneath a blue sky marked the beginning of a life

Spring rain kept sleepless vigil over the nights you had once spent alone.

She did not say it, but he understood. Their mutual understanding slowly formed amid their silence, and neither of them spoke.

Just as they were beginning to enjoy this unspoken understanding more and more, there would always be uninvited guests to disturb such beauty.

As they left the city and reached the suburbs near Westchester, a red figure descended from the sky. With a thunderous crash, it smashed down in front of them and blocked their path.

The entire road was instantly blasted into a huge crater. The surrounding vehicles hurriedly braked, but it was already too late...

Rear-end collisions were only minor accidents. Once they saw the hulking figure blocking their way, everyone fled in terror.

Was a car more important, or was life? Did that even need asking?

Red Hulk ignored the ordinary people fleeing in panic and instead slowly walked toward Chen Xi with a sinister grin.

"Looks like he came for you."

Jean Grey teased with a smile. She was not worried in the slightest; instead, she seemed rather interested.

Ever since she had learned that she could not invade Chen Xi's mind, she had become deeply interested in this mysterious man. Now that an abnormal monster that looked quite powerful had appeared, she could use it to see just how strong he was.

"Heh, fame really does bring trouble."

Chen Xi immediately mocked himself with a smile, then slowly opened the car door and stepped out...

Under Jean Grey's incredulous gaze, black matter gradually covered his body. After five steps, a suit of armor brimming with mystery came fully into view!

"Cool!!"

Under the faint moonlight.

Jean Grey covered her little mouth in excitement. That transformation was unbelievably cool. Her eyes sparkled with stars. This man was always giving her surprises!

"Ross, oh Ross, you truly haven't disappointed me. You actually became Red Hulk!"

Watching Red Hulk swagger forward with an arrogant stride, Chen Xi's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

The seeds he had planted yesterday had finally come into bloom and borne fruit.

He just wondered how many Justice Points this guy would yield.

"System, how many Justice Points will I get for killing him?"

Chen Xi stared at Red Hulk and asked excitedly. All he saw was a huge fish swimming straight toward him.

"At this stage, Red Hulk is far stronger than both the green Hulk and Abomination. Therefore, the Justice Points are substantial. Furthermore, this guy has just slaughtered an entire base. Killing him alone will earn you eighty thousand Justice Points."

"Hahaha, excellent! This guy really hasn't disappointed me. What a valuable tool!"

Hearing the system's words, Chen Xi grew excited. His eyes gleamed as he stared at Red Hulk, then he charged forward at high speed.

Boom!!!

Their wildly disproportionate fists collided fiercely, and overwhelming force erupted outward like two trains crashing into each other!

In an instant, the surrounding sedans were overturned by the shockwave of their clash, while Chen Xi and Red Hulk appeared evenly matched.

"So it really was you!!"

After the probing attack, Red Hulk rapidly retreated several steps. He stared at Chen Xi and spoke solemnly.

He had only barely managed to identify Chen Xi by comparing body types and investigating the nearby residents one by one.

Even then, he had not been completely certain. But following the principle of killing by mistake rather than letting the target go, he had come anyway.

"Likewise."

Chen Xi did not deny it. He remained as calm as ever. Why would he bother arguing with a dead man?

"Hmph. You're arrogant, but today, I'll make you pay for that arrogance!"

Red Hulk threatened coldly. He was extremely irritated by Chen Xi's utterly fearless attitude.

Boom!!

As soon as he finished speaking, Red Hulk stomped the ground and used its force to leap high into the air, hurling a fist toward Chen Xi.

"Perfect!"

Chen Xi surged with fierce fighting spirit and rushed forward. His battle intent had soared to unprecedented heights.

Although Ross had lived in comfort for a long time, his combat instincts had always remained; they had merely been hidden away.

Now, transformed into a red giant, he seemed to have returned to his prime.

Roaring, he swung both fists inward at Chen Xi's ears, trying to smash his head apart in one blow. Yet Chen Xi advanced rather than retreated, charging straight at him with a howl!

When they were less than two meters apart, Chen Xi quickly pushed off the ground with both legs, lunged forward to evade the incoming fists, and used the momentum to drive his right elbow viciously into Red Hulk's nose.

Crack!!

How could a fragile nasal bone withstand a force of a thousand tons?

"Ah!!"

As expected, Red Hulk screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground. He clutched his nose in agony and roared...

He had not expected Chen Xi to be this fast, much less this underhanded. Chen Xi had actually disregarded martial ethics and struck his nose with an elbow.

At that moment, Chen Xi burst forward. While Red Hulk was in so much pain that he could not even open his eyes, Chen Xi descended from above and drove his knee brutally into Red Hulk's ribs.

"I'll crush your lungs!!"

Chen Xi shouted. Several cracking sounds rang out as nearly all of Red Hulk's ribs shattered beneath the heavy blow...

Pfft!!

Red Hulk's eyes bulged in agony. Blood from his chest cavity and heart spewed from his mouth as though it cost nothing, and he even coughed out fragments of his heart...

In only a few seconds, he had been severely injured. Even Red Hulk's formidable regenerative abilities could not repair him instantly.

Strike while he was down and finish him!

Before Red Hulk could heal his wounds, Chen Xi grabbed him and hurled him high into the sky. Then he kicked off hard, reached a position above him, and unleashed five savage whipping kicks in succession...

Boom!!

The completely helpless Red Hulk was kicked straight into the ground by Chen Xi, where he vomited violently. When the dust settled, Red Hulk's face was covered in blood, and he was clearly on the verge of death.

"...You... Pfft..."

Red Hulk struggled to say something, but he could only gurgle blood from his mouth. He could not even form a complete sentence.

Though he looked utterly miserable now, Chen Xi knew that if he gave him less than ten seconds, Red Hulk would definitely revive on the spot.

Therefore, to eliminate all future trouble, only severing his head could kill him for good. So, under Red Hulk's terrified, pleading gaze, Chen Xi's right hand suddenly transformed into a massive battle axe and swung down at him with savage force!!

"Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission to kill Red Hulk. You have obtained eighty thousand Justice Points."
