Chapter 428: Hired Heroes Company vs. Iliana (2)

"First."

Iliana carried the giant sword on her shoulder, stood casually in front of the fallen Luke, and used her free left hand to hook her fingers at the remaining two people.

"Who's the second one?"

"Luke!" Jessica's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing her boyfriend lying in front of her, her life or death unknown, the rage in her heart suddenly flared up. She ignored Tiequan's persuasion and flew towards Iliana at the fastest speed.

At this moment, Jessica was like a cannonball, pushing herself with all her strength to hit the seemingly unprepared Iliana. She wanted to avenge her boyfriend.

But when Jessica was halfway through her flight, the same openings as those around Iron Fist appeared around her, and countless tentacles emerged from them, surrounding Jessica in the center.

Jessica's heart was filled with alarm, and she hurriedly tried to find loopholes in the tentacles, but unfortunately Iliana did not hold back. Holes appeared out of thin air above, below, left and right of her, and those tentacles wrapped her up like a dragnet.

There was nowhere to dodge, and Jessica couldn't even hold on for a second before her limbs were firmly locked by the tentacles. The strength she was proud of was of no use in front of these twisted and winding limbs.

"Let... me go!" Jessica's face flushed red and she could only shake her limbs gently. Her stubborn resistance seemed to anger the tentacles that tied her up, and they worked together to throw Jessica to the ground.

"boom!"

A small hole was smashed into the ground, and Jessica was firmly pinned to the ground, unable to even raise her head.

Iron Fist certainly wouldn't stand idly by. He had just cleared away the disgusting tentacles that were wrapped around him, and when he saw that his two teammates had already been killed, he immediately wanted to rescue them.

But unfortunately, the positions were reversed.

"when!"

After a muffled sound, the forced-back Iron Fist looked at Iliana, who had just retracted the giant sword, with a serious expression. Unlike the former who looked as if facing a formidable enemy, the latter had a playful look on her face.

"I thought I had cut a piece of metal." Iliana looked at Daniel's fists thoughtfully. The golden light looked extremely dazzling.

"Your power must come from something ancient." Iliana gripped the sword with both hands. "I can sense it's powerful, but it seems you haven't mastered it yet."

"I'm still just a beginner," Iron Fist said, stretching his arms and taking a stance. "But I'm more than capable of dealing with you."

"Then show me!" As soon as Iliana finished speaking, she appeared in front of Iron Fist in the next second, and the greatsword in her hand dropped from a high place, about to decapitate the enemy.

Iron Fist was not in a hurry. He retracted his right fist and hit the giant sword hard. This blow changed the giant sword's falling trajectory and made it cut towards the ground. The boxer was multitasking. His right fist was extremely powerful, but his left hand was soft and boneless, just like a vicious poisonous snake baring its fangs to bite Iliana.

"Tear!"

A twisted scream sounded, and Iron Fist quickly pulled back. There was a piece of flesh hooked on his left hand, but its owner was not Iliana, but a twisted tentacle.

Iliana wiped her face, but there was still a lot of blood on her pretty face. Looking at the tentacles that broke into two pieces at her feet, Iliana praised.

"Nice defense and counterattack! If it weren't for the tentacles, I'd be the one bleeding profusely right now." Iliana licked her lips subconsciously, but frowned at the stench of blood. "Your two teammates are no match for you in combat skills." "Everyone has their strengths." Iron Fist dropped the still-writhing flesh in his hand and resumed his stance. "I only know a few boxing and kicking techniques."

"Useless modesty." Iliana curled her lips. "I hope you can still say nice things later."

Iron Fist stopped talking, stretched out his legs and rushed towards Iliana, his fists shining with golden light, ready to slay demons and monsters, but at this moment something strange happened, Iron Fist felt his feet go empty while he was running, and then his whole body began to fall uncontrollably.

"what?"

Before he could understand what was happening, he appeared in front of Iliana, who had already raised her giant sword high. At this time, he had not yet recovered from the falling state, and in a panic he could only gather his energy in his hands, hoping to block Iliana's attack.

But just as he crossed his hands in front of his chest, he heard the sound of breaking air behind him. Tiequan thought to himself that it was not good and he had fallen into a trap.

As he expected, Iliana in front of him began to twist and finally turned into a wisp of fine sand and slid down. At this time, Tiequan also saw a sword blade emitting a faint blue light appear on his right shoulder.

The sword blade slashed across Iron Fist's body, and the unconscious boxer fell to the ground. Iliana didn't even look at the other party, she put away the giant sword in her hand and walked towards the abandoned factory.

"If you have the guts... kill me too!"

Intermittent roars were heard, and a hint of confusion appeared on Iliana's face. When she looked in the direction of the sound, she saw Jessica, who was in a mess and trying to raise her head and glare at her.

"Oh!" Iliana clapped her hands and exclaimed. "I had completely forgotten about you. After all, you're so easy to deal with."

"Asshole!" Jessica roared.

"Save your energy," Iliana waved. "You can't even break free from this low-level demon, and you're trying to fight me. You're really asking for trouble. Besides, I didn't kill your teammates."

"What did you say?" Jessica was stunned. She saw with her own eyes that Iliana slashed Luke and Daniel's bodies with the giant sword, and then both of them fell down.

"My sword can't do much harm to ordinary people. Although it will definitely hurt if you get hit by it, you won't die." Iliana spread her hands.

"I'm sparing your lives because you're all mutants. Don't let my kindness go to waste. Once your friends wake up, go home."

After saying that, Iliana ignored Jessica, who was disheveled in the wind and inexplicably labeled a mutant, and continued walking towards the abandoned factory, stretching lazily. She had only eaten a piece of bread, which was not enough to fill her stomach.

"Da da da…"

Iliana stopped walking halfway, turned around helplessly, looked up at the sky and said, "Still coming? Is this the end?"

Following Iliana's line of sight, she could see a man in a black tights with a huge golden belt around his waist. A nuclear radiation symbol was engraved on the front of the belt, and behind him was a golden cloak fluttering in the wind.

With the man at the center, there were several people in strange costumes floating around him, but Iliana knew that these were not all the people.

Sure enough, there were a few people riding in a special-shaped car, driving towards the abandoned factory.
