It took Qin Xiao almost a month to finally gain complete control over the fire energy within his body.
The effects of the initial awakening were indeed only mediocre.
Qin Xiao can control a part of his body to emit flames, or he can transform his entire body into a Human Torch.
It can even spew out a column of fire two or three meters long directly from its mouth.
However, it is still a long way from becoming the long-range artillery fire mage that Qin Xiao imagined.
However, during this time, Qin Xiao figured out a way to imbue his melee attacks with flames, which greatly increased their power.
This can be considered a boost to his strength, especially after he discovered that he could imbue his Tang sword with a layer of flame.
I instantly felt like I was the protagonist in a game.
The Tang sword itself is already powerful enough; the 1500-degree Celsius flame does not add any power to it.
After all, it cannot withstand a flame of 1500 degrees Celsius, and it absolutely cannot withstand the power of a Tang sword.
In Tony's words, your trick is useless except for creating a torch that doesn't need fuel.
Anyway, at least I can leave the base and stop living in seclusion. I don't have to sleep on that hard iron bed frame anymore, and I don't even dare to cover myself with a blanket.
If it weren't for the combat suit provided by the system, Qin Xiao might have been in seclusion naked for some time now.
Qin Xiao was in a very good mood today, extremely good.
The first reason is because I've left the country, and the second is because Black Widow has returned.
Coulson wasn't lying to him; on the day of the cello recital, Black Widow indeed had no S.H.I.E.L.D.. missions.
Black Widow is indeed very interested in this kind of thing.
To be fair, Qin Xiao would never normally attend a concert like this, but when men are pursuing women, they often do things that are fine as long as you're happy.
Qin Xiao wanted to take this opportunity to completely open his heart to Black Widow and ultimately reach the ultimate level of being naked together.
Black Widow was unusually happy today.
After Qin Xiao endured more than two hours of drowsiness to keep her company throughout the concert.
Black Widow, no longer the agent she once was, excitedly dragged Qin Xiao out of the concert hall.
They were quite interested in finding a place to eat something and have a drink.
Black Widow rarely had such an ordinary and leisurely day, so the two of them discussed it and decided not to drive, but to take a walk instead.
It's nice to just wander around and find something to eat.
Manhattan is much safer than the other parts of New York City; at least there are still quite a few pedestrians on the streets even after 9 p. m.
It was a crisp autumn day, and the night breeze carried a slight coolness that felt very comfortable on the skin.
Along the seaside promenade, young men and women could be seen chatting and laughing as they passed by from time to time.
Black Widow giggled and pulled Qin Xiao to sit down on a bench nearby.
"I swear I'll never wear high heels again."
While muttering complaints under her breath, Black Widow unceremoniously took off her high heels.
Her dress was pulled up slightly, revealing two slender calves, which dangled on the bench, swinging her feet intermittently, her feet slightly sore from the pressure of her high heels.
Her snow-white skin shimmered slightly under the streetlights.
Qin Xiao was somewhat distracted by what he saw.
Is it pretty?
Black Widow smiled and said to the somewhat Dum-E Qin Xiao.
"Nice!"
Qin Xiao praised sincerely, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a tightness around his neck.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of sexy, fiery red lips sealed her mouth.
After a long while, their lips parted...
Savoring the sweetness of the kiss, Qin Xiao felt a little unsatisfied.
He took the initiative and put his arm around Black Widow's neck.
But Black Widow gently pushed him away.
"I'm hungry, go buy me something to eat!"
I don't know when, but a hot dog cart appeared a few meters away.
The aroma of fried sausages wafted into my nose on the breeze.
"Okay!"
Qin Xiao stood up and scurried towards the cart.
They had barely gotten up.
A whooshing sound rang out behind them.
Qin Xiao turned around instinctively.
A tiny, miniature missile hurtled toward the bench.
The moment Qin Xiao hugged Black Widow, the missile had already crashed into the bench.
Qin Xiao suddenly turned around.
I can't tell whether I'll turn around first or explode first.
I just felt a shockwave on my back, and some fragments of something I didn't know were being flung around and hit me.
Compared to these, the heat and flames of the explosion were almost imperceptible to Qin Xiao.
To protect Black Widow, Qin Xiao stood still, taking full responsibility for the missile's explosion and its aftershocks.
As soon as the explosion ended, Qin Xiao quickly looked in the direction from which the missile had come.
Across the street, in a dark alley, on the rooftop of a tall building.
"Found you!"
A figure flashed across the rooftop of a building across the street.
" Natasha, be careful, I'm going to catch that guy..."
"Don't go, hold me a little longer!"
Black Widow gripped Qin Xiao 'Qin Xiao collar tightly, then gently stroked his cheek with one hand as she spoke.
Qin Xiao then noticed that something was wrong with Black Widow; her face was pale and her breathing was rapid.
And why does my hand, which is resting on Black Widow's waist, feel sticky?
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Black Widow had a piece of shrapnel at least ten centimeters long lodged in her back, and it was protruding.
No one knows exactly how much was inserted into the body.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Qin Xiao cursed wildly in his heart.
My hands didn't dare to stop for a moment; the phone in my pocket hadn't been damaged by the explosion, I don't know if it was because of the combat uniform.
Qin Xiao dialed Coulson's number directly.
" Natasha has been attacked and is seriously injured. A shrapnel fragment is lodged in her back, more than ten centimeters of it is sticking out. I'm holding her and can't move. We need the most professional medical team, quick! I walked about twenty minutes from the concert hall to the beach, but who knows where this place is!"
Qin Xiao explained the situation in the simplest terms: it wasn't difficult for Coulson to find this place; he just hoped that Coulson could arrange for medical personnel to arrive quickly enough.
"It'll be alright, Natasha. I'll hold you and stay with you until you're alright. Coulson will be here soon. You'll be fine."
Qin Xiao put down the phone and said nervously, unsure whether he was trying to comfort Black Widow or himself.
"I'm fine, Qin, better than ever before. It's just a pity I haven't had a hot dog yet. I can't remember the last time I've had such a leisurely meal on the street!"
As they talked, Black Widow reached out a hand and gently smoothed out Qin Xiao's furrowed brows.
"Don't worry, I'm already very lucky to have met you. Maybe it was destined. I'm not qualified to experience the life and happiness of ordinary people. Ever since what happened in Budapest, I..."
As she spoke, blood gushed from Black Widow's mouth, and she slowly closed her eyes and fainted.
"Don't fall asleep, Natasha, don't fall asleep!"
Qin Xiao didn't dare to move an inch until professional medical personnel arrived.
He could only call out to the Black Widow in his arms in a low voice.
Meanwhile, a few blocks away in a hotel.
A middle-aged man was sitting lazily on the sofa watching TV.
The footage shows Qin Xiao turning around with Black Widow in his arms the instant of the explosion, and standing still to withstand the entire blast.
" Hydra's intelligence was wrong. Qin Xiao's strength far exceeds our imagination. He's not just a super soldier. I've halted the operation. Arrange for your men to leave United States immediately. I'll figure out a way to deal with Natasha!"
Do you want to know what exactly happened in Budapest?
