Chapter 427: Hired Heroes Company vs. Iliana
"Jessica, are you sure those two mutants are in here?"

A black man as strong as an iron tower looked at the abandoned factory not far ahead, and then asked the woman next to him who was more than a head shorter than him. The woman he asked looked annoyed.

"You have to believe me, Luke. My informant told me that the killer is among them." Jessica Jones rolled her eyes.

"I trust you, but I'm not entirely sure about your informant." Luke Cage scratched his head. "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Luke wanted to change the subject and immediately set his sights on another friend.

"What's wrong, Daniel? You haven't been talking much since a while ago."

"I feel a very powerful and evil force." Iron Fist Daniel Rand clenched his fists, his eyes hidden under the mask staring at the abandoned factory in front of him.

"It means the enemy is difficult to deal with, right?" Luke put his right hand on his neck and turned his head, and his neck made a crackling sound with his movement.

"Now that you've said that, it seems we do need to be careful."

Luke knew that Daniel never acted without purpose. He was a taciturn wise man who always noticed things that other people in their team didn't notice, so after hearing Daniel's reminder, he also became more vigilant.

"Da da da."

It was the sound of shoes stepping on the mud. Daniel was the first to notice the sound and immediately alerted his friends around him.

"Be careful, someone is coming out."

Luke immediately assumed a fighting stance and took a step forward. Luke was the most resilient member of the team. He was used to being at the forefront to draw fire for his teammates, and all these actions were subconscious.

Iliana walked out of the dilapidated factory gracefully and looked at the three people in front of her who were facing a formidable enemy. The difference in numbers did not change her expression at all.

"So are you here to arrest me?" Iliana put one hand on her waist, leaned to one side casually, and supported her body with her right leg. She looked like she was meeting someone on the street, not facing an enemy pursuit.

"Did you kill those six people?" Jessica asked loudly.

"If you mean the six black people who died this morning, it was indeed me who did it," Iliana admitted frankly.

"Then we're here to arrest you." Jessica rubbed her hands together. "If you have anything to say, talk to your lawyer when you're in jail."

Iliana didn't say anything. In her opinion, it was just crushing six bugs. She didn't take it to heart at all. After all, she was taken to hell when she was seven years old, and her values ​​were definitely different from those of normal people.

Jessica was furious when she saw Iliana's calm look. Those were six lives. Even the most vicious killer would not remain indifferent after taking six lives.

Jessica was an impatient person to begin with, and now she was like a powder keg that was ignited. She immediately attacked angrily and rushed towards Iliana on tiptoe.

Iliana showed no fear as Jessica charged towards her. She took a bold step forward, and her appearance began to change. First, her right hand was covered in something resembling knight armor, and then small pieces of armor appeared on other parts of her body, just like a transformation in a game.

Iliana clenched her right hand, and a blue light burst out from her palm. A big sword half as tall as her appeared in her hand in the blink of an eye and was held firmly by her.

Jessica didn't expect that her opponent would draw a big sword out of thin air, and she rushed into Iliana's attack range without noticing.

Iliana, who had just fought her way out of hell, naturally would not hold back on her enemy. She smiled, swung her sword, and slashed at Jessica who was rushing towards her. She saw that Jessica was about to die.

"boom!"

A golden gas ball passed Jessica at a faster speed and hit the blade of the giant sword. The huge force bounced the blade back. Iliana, who was holding the giant sword, took a step back before she could stabilize her body.

While Iliana was still struggling to stand firm, Jessica saw that the crisis was resolved without stopping her actions and swung her right fist at Iliana. Iliana hastily raised her door-like sword to block Jessica's punch, but she was still pushed several meters away by the opponent's huge force.

"Thank you, Iron Fist!" After saying thank you, Jessica did not stop her attack. Relying on her flying ability, she continued to attack Iliana without landing.

Of course, Iliana would not stand there and take the beating. She swung her heavy sword to force Jessica back. At the same time, she looked at Daniel, who had just fired the air bomb, with fear. The force made her feel numb in her palm.

"drink!"

Luke roared and charged forward. With his own defense, even guns could not hurt him at all. He naturally did not think that a big sword could do anything to him.

Iliana's lips curled up slightly. A big fool like Luke Cage is hard to find even in hell. The other party actually wants to fight her head-on, so how can she not fight him?

The charging Luke was more terrifying than a chariot. Even a tank would be overturned by him. However, seeing such a scene, Iliana was indeed smiling, raised the giant sword in her hand and rushed forward.

When Daniel saw Iliana's expression, he knew something was wrong. There must be something strange about the giant sword emitting blue light. He raised his right hand and prepared to shoot out the air bullet again.

Suddenly, several holes opened up out of thin air around Daniel, and several winding and disgusting tentacles emerged from those holes, targeting the surrounded Daniel.

Although he didn't know what these things were, Daniel had to temporarily give up his plan to support Luke and turned his fist to hit the target under himself. As his fist burst into golden light, another gas bomb was shot out.

"boom!"

The huge impact force not only dispersed the tentacles surrounding him, but Daniel also took advantage of the force and jumped out of the encirclement. Before he fell in the air, he cast his sights on his companions.

While Daniel was entangled by the tentacles, Iliana had already started fighting with Luke. Luke swung his fist at the giant sword that was coming towards him, preparing to use his own strength to forcibly create a flaw and then take down Iliana in one fell swoop.

Facing the pair of fists that were harder than steel, the giant sword in Iliana's hand did not pause for a moment, and it slashed through Luke's body cleanly and neatly. Iliana ducked and passed by Luke, and behind her, Luke Cage fell to the ground with a bang.
