Chapter 555: Corvus Glaive
General Corvus Glaive covered his goblin-like face, the dizziness in his head almost made him vomit.

'What the hell happened?' was his first thought, but it took him less than a second to realize he had been hit.

"It felt like metal, but it was warm, like some powerful being punched me with its fist."

Shaking his head, General Grievous regained consciousness and sorted out his thoughts. Just as he was about to stand up, a pool of warm water splashed on him. The strong smell of rust filled his nostrils. The disgusting sticky liquid slipped from his fingers. It was blood!

A large amount of blood poured onto General Grievous' body like a torrential rain. Except for the blood cut by the invincible blade in his hand, his whole body was soaked in blood, and it looked like he had changed his clothes.

He was very familiar with this smell. It was from the vanguards he brought with him. This group of stubborn clone soldiers were very useful. As long as the glorious death was engraved in their DNA, these things would rush onto the battlefield one after another.

The battle-hardened General Grim Reaper knew his men very well. They were all cut from the same mold, without any difference or novelty.

General Grievous looked up and saw a life form he had never seen before. The creature was wearing a black and blue uniform with unique red patterns. Only a small amount of skin was exposed, including its strong arms and striking bald head.

The crimson eyes showed no emotion, and the strong, powerful arms were gripping the upper and lower torso of a vanguard. Sticky blood continuously flowed from the cross-section.

Behind that man, there were dozens of vanguard guards floating around. Some of their bodies were twisted into unimaginable shapes, while the rest who had no obvious external injuries were motionless as if they had lost consciousness.

"Plop, plop."

Two dull thuds were heard as the man released the Vanguard in his hand. The thuds were like starting guns, and the healthy Vanguards floating behind him began to rotate their upper bodies to the right and their lower bodies to the left at the same time.

Just like wringing out a rag, the blood of the vanguards was squeezed out of their bodies amidst the chilling sound of bones breaking. It was obvious that the person in front of them was controlling them with an invisible force, otherwise what was squeezed out would not only be blood, but also bones and broken internal organs.

Even though General Corvus Glaive, a veteran of hundreds of battles and having traveled through countless battlefields before following Thanos, couldn't help but feel fear when he saw this scene.

Holding the sword tightly in his hand, this old friend who had accompanied him in countless battles barely gave him a sense of security. General Corvus Glaive still did not stand up, but maintained his current posture, looking like a beast about to hunt.

"Who are you?" General Grievous asked. His motto was to never fight useless people. Even if he died, he had to die meaningfully to prepare for a comeback.

"Martian Manhunter."

The person in front of him was none other than the Martian Hunter transformed by Yang Le. He had created a clone long before returning to the movie universe in order not to reveal the identity of the Tian Gong Association. In addition to Puffball and the Martian Hunter, there was also a little Bobo clone on standby in case of emergency.

The reason why he became the Martian Hunter was because he was so versatile that he had no obvious weaknesses other than fire. Yang Le found a solution to this fatal weakness.

After solving this weakness, the Martian Manhunter can even solo all the copies of the entire movie universe. He is no longer just a Swiss Army knife among superheroes.

"Martian... Manhunter?" Corvus Glaive was briefly stunned. "There's no life on that planet." (Note 1)

Yang Le just tilted his head, neither denying nor agreeing with General Corvus Glaive's words. After all, there was really nothing special about Mars in the Marvel Universe.

"Are you kidding me?" General Corvus instantly connected Yang Le's previous words with his current expression, thinking he was being humiliated. This infuriated him, and without further testing his slender thighs, he unleashed his incredible strength, launching himself at Yang Le in mid-air like a zombie arrow.

"Shh!"

A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the peerless blade in his hand split the air and slashed down from top to bottom at Yang Le who did not dodge or evade.

The other party's lack of reaction did not surprise General Grievous. When Yang Le's punch hit him in the face, he felt through his rich combat experience that the person in front of him definitely possessed amazing defensive power.

This kind of opponent may be extremely difficult to deal with for others, but General Grievous likes this type of enemy the most. Because they have strong defense, they are extremely arrogant and do not dodge or evade most attacks, which gives General Grievous an opportunity to take advantage.

For example, two years ago, the robot with a vibranium body arrogantly took a blow from him. General Corvus Glaive still remembers the robot's expression of disbelief, as well as the expressions of fear or anger on his companions.

He loves tasting these things the most.

Just as General Grievous had expected, the peerless blade passed through the air without any resistance as usual, as if it was a wasted swing that didn't hit the target.

"clatter."

General Corvus Glaive landed lightly on the ground and turned his head to admire the expression that he had never gotten tired of seeing, but he found that Yang Le was also looking at him.

General Grievous raised the corner of his mouth. The peerless blade was so sharp that the flesh of the creature in front of him realized that it was being cut. It didn't matter as he had experienced this kind of scene many times. At most two seconds, the man would be split in half.

"1." General Grievous spoke softly while leaning on his sword, his tone frivolous as if he was announcing that Yang Le's death was approaching.

“2Puff!”

Before he finished counting to two, Yang Le's fist had already hit him in the face. General Grievous, who had a look of control over the situation in the previous second, was knocked away and hit on an instrument in the next second.

The sophisticated instrument was destroyed in an instant, and countless electric arcs erupted, crackling and crawling onto General Grim Reaper's body, causing his body to spasm slightly, but due to the low voltage, it could not cause any harm to him.

"This... this... this can't be!" As General Grievous spoke, teeth fell out of his mouth, and even his pointed chin became more prominent, making him look like someone who likes to play Candy Crush Saga.

"Why... didn't I cut you open?"

"I dodged it." Yang Le looked down at the embarrassed General Corvus Glaive from above. "Before your knife could cut me, I controlled my cells to dodge it."

　Note 1: Marvel Comics once published a comic called "Mars Mouse Knights", which was even made into an anime. It is likely still a childhood memory for many people. Unfortunately, the author has only watched one or two episodes.
