Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel

"Chief, we can't get through to Bai Ye by phone. We asked Kingpin, but he's giving us the runaround too," Coulson said after hanging up.

Having almost confirmed his guess, Nick Fury tapped the table in front of him lightly with a hint of doubt.

When did Bai Ye become such a good friend of Stark that he was willing to travel thousands of miles to save him?

“That’s settled then. The intelligence department can continue its work. As for the flying objects, don’t worry about them. Their objective should be the same as ours,” Nick Fury said.

Meanwhile, in the group chat, various group members sent friendly congratulatory messages to Tony Stark, but no matter what kind of message they sent, it all seemed to sink without a trace.

"What's going on? This young friend from another land is not replying to messages, just like the previous Senior Deep Blue."

On Mount Hua, now transformed into an arsenal, Yue Buqun gently stroked the beard that clung to his face, pondering in bewilderment.

Especially considering the news that Bai Ye had suddenly come back to life and cursed the administrator in the group, even though the administrator had offered an explanation, he still harbored doubts.

And this new member hasn't spoken for so long... could it have been banned by the all-knowing and all-powerful immortal?

Meanwhile, in modern society, Kana Kimishima stared wide-eyed in surprise, because she had just remembered that the name Tony Stark sounded familiar.

Although he lived before 00, before the Iron Man movies were made, he was still aware of Marvel's predecessor, Marvel Comics, as someone who followed trends, and had also heard of Iron Man, the current second-tier hero.

[Kana Kimishima]: Is the newcomer Iron Man? Well... is your dad Howard Stark?

【Gentleman's Sword】: How did Kana know about the new group member's family?

[Kana Kimishima]: You people from ancient times don't know that Mr. Stark's name is the same as a comic series I've read, which is why I asked this question. But it's probably just a coincidence, since the world is so big and there are quite a few people with the same name.

[The Ghost Catcher]: I see.

……

The all-knowing and all-powerful immortal looked at the question from Kana Kimishima in the group and felt a slight headache coming on. He felt that the image he had built up over the years was about to collapse.

That's why he didn't want to find modern people, because it would be too easy to give himself away.

Seeing that Stark hadn't replied to a single message in the private chat, he frowned: 'Stark hasn't been replying at all, could he already be in Afghanistan?'

At that moment, in the sky above Afghanistan, amidst a thunderous roar, Bai Ye's figure came to an abrupt stop and hovered in mid-air.

After a long journey, standing 50 kilometers above the stratosphere and mesosphere, looking down at the thick clouds, Bai Ye mentally generated a map of the entire Afghan region.

According to the movie, the terrorists who kidnapped Stark were based in a desert cave in Afghanistan, and they also had a large amount of weapons and ammunition lying around in the open.

Stark did not change locations during his imprisonment, and given the extent of his injuries, it was impossible for him to be too far from the attack site to receive treatment.

In that case, we just need to focus on that US air force base as the center of our search.

Excluding the cities and villages, only four or five locations remain to be explored.

With that thought in mind, Bai Ye swooped down, smashing a hole tens of meters wide in the clouds before flying toward the ground.

Inside the cave, with the help of guards and several medics, Ethan nervously removed a large piece of shrapnel from Tony Stark's chest.

As for the tiny particles that couldn't be removed, the only solution was to have a magnetic device implanted in his chest later to prevent the fragments from flowing into his heart.

"boom!"

Just as he was carefully operating the machine, a huge roar came from outside the cave, and even though he was far away, he could feel the earth tremble slightly.

'What happened? Did the explosives planted outside finally detonate?' Ethan thought to himself as he performed surgery on the celebrity he had only met once before.

Outside the cave, amidst the swirling sand, Bai Ye, like a deity, stood suspended in mid-air, supported by his inner strength, with a massive five-meter-deep sand pit beneath his feet.

“Tony Stark is here, isn’t he?” Bai Ye said calmly in Pashto, looking at the terrorists pointing guns at him.

During the questioning, Bai Ye slightly tilted his ear and quickly constructed in his mind the terrain of the entire base within a few hundred meters using the surrounding echoes.

At the same time, they could hear four or five people performing surgery on a man lying unconscious on a bed in a cave not far away.

"You...you are Bai Ye?" the terrorist asked in surprise, looking at the handsome Asian face with flowing black hair in front of him.

They had also practiced martial arts, so of course they recognized the boy in front of them.

"Wrong answer. I've already found my target and don't need you anymore," Bai Ye said coldly.

Seeing the indifferent young man before him, the terrorist felt a sense of foreboding and hurriedly shouted, "Fire! Fire..."

Before he could finish speaking, it felt as if a thousand cannonballs were exploding all around him.

Amidst the roar and howl of the atmosphere, all the terrorists on the scene who were about to pull the trigger instantly lost control of their arms.

Without offering any resistance, in a mere instant, the heads of hundreds of people were sent flying into the air.

Then, as the terrorists were spinning around, they watched in disbelief as the headless body in front of them remained standing, not yet fallen.

Before the last vestiges of consciousness in their brains faded, all they could see was the violently shattered air, with surrounding military installations, supplies, and their own flesh and blood all turning into fragments and gore that flew outwards in all directions.

Chapter 113 Rescue and Threat

In the yellow sands of Afghanistan, an area is covered by billowing smoke and dust.

The area where hundreds of terrorist militants had gathered was now reduced to just a handful.

As the smoke and dust gradually subsided, the earth, as if bombarded by artillery shells, was plowed with countless huge ravines several meters wide.

Human body parts were scattered everywhere amidst the flying debris, turning the place into a battlefield of carnage.

In the center of the battlefield, Bai Ye looked down at his clothes that had exploded due to supersonic movement and remained silent. He then took out another set from the illusory space and put it on.

After spending a few seconds dealing with the small fry on the scene, Bai Ye looked toward the cave not far away.

Taking a step, Bai Ye lightly stomped on the ground, and as the ground cracked beneath his feet, he leaped directly to the entrance of the cave and walked straight inside.

Fearing that his movements would cause too much damage and collapse the cave, Bai Ye did not get too close to the area when he moved, so the guards inside the cave survived.

At the sound of a huge roar outside, the guards inside the cave rushed out like startled birds, wanting to see what was going on.

But Bai Ye, who didn't want to explain further, saw the guards come out and lightly flicked his right hand.

Before Bai Ye's supersonic flick of the finger, the almost solidified air was directly transformed into a terrifying vacuum wave, which, under the shaping of true qi, was not much less powerful than a cannonball.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A fist-sized burst of energy slammed into the guards, easily piercing through their flesh and blood. Then, amidst the frantically tearing airflow, most of their bodies exploded.

These guards didn't even get a glimpse of Bai Ye's face; they merely showed themselves before their bodies were blasted apart by the energy blast.

The blood and debris that splashed onto Bai Ye were completely blocked by the internal energy surging within his body, preventing them from getting any closer.

As Bai Ye swiftly moved towards the surgical area, it was as if she were taking a stroll. The entire process was smooth and effortless, and she didn't slow down at all.

Soon, Bai Ye stopped, a smile appearing on his face. He gently knocked on the iron gate beside him and said, "Hello, Mr. Ethan, you can stop the surgery now."

Ethan, who had been focused on the surgery the whole time, finally stopped trying to save him, because the medical staff assisting him were too horrified to speak by the several mangled corpses that had fallen behind Bai Ye.

Slowly turning his head, Ethan looked at Bai Ye's appearance with a hint of surprise, recognizing the person who had come.

"Are you here to save him? How do you know our names? I'm performing surgery on Mr. Stark; his condition is very critical, and I need a little more time," Ethan said in surprise.

"No need, I can save him. Thank you for your help earlier," Bai Ye said politely as he stepped forward.

"No need? Do you also perform surgery? He had shrapnel embedded in his chest, and next..." Ethan was about to describe Stark's condition to Bai Ye when he suddenly shut up.

Before Ethan could finish speaking, Bai Ye had already stepped onto the operating table and placed his right hand directly on Stark's shoulder.

Then a purple stream of energy surged into Stark's body, immediately detecting shrapnel in the opponent's chest.

The next moment, a surge of internal energy entered Tony's body. With a few crisp clanging sounds, all the shrapnel embedded in his chest flew out and fell to the ground after tracing an arc.

"This... is impressive." Ethan didn't know how to describe it, so he could only stammer, then, looking at the blood seeping from the wound, he reminded him, "Let me stop the bleeding after you remove the shrapnel..."

Before he could finish speaking, staring at Stark's chest where the bleeding was stopping and scabs were forming at a visible speed, he was speechless. He exclaimed in disbelief, "Is the effect of internal energy that good? It wasn't mentioned in your book."

"Because the method I cultivate is fundamentally different from yours, of course it doesn't have such good results," Bai Ye explained.

He has now advanced the "Everyone Has Skill" training to level 2.0, which can directly simulate the effects of the "Divine Illumination Scripture" in "A Deadly Secret".

According to the power of the Divine Illumination Sutra, even a person who has been hanging for an hour can be brought back to life, let alone the critically injured and dying Tony Stark.

Although White Night is currently only a simulation, it is enough to solve the current difficulties.

Soon, with the flow of Bai Ye's internal energy, Stark's bloodless, pale face immediately regained its vitality and returned to normal.

Ethan and several medical staff members standing nearby were too shocked to speak.

Inner strength already has the effect of prolonging life and preventing all diseases. If this ability were to be manifested now, those pharmaceutical companies would be wiped out and would inevitably go bankrupt.

Seeing Stark recover as usual but still in a coma, and the new member in the group who didn't say a word, Bai Ye's guess was mostly confirmed.

"Sir, what do we do next?" Ethan asked, standing to the side.

Turning around, he looked at Ethan, who had been thinking for a while, and said, "I've taken care of all the terrorists outside. Go find a car outside and come with me to the nearest air force base."

As he spoke, Bai Ye crossed his arms and pointed his bent fingers at the unconscious Stark, saying, "You guys pick two people to carry this guy on a stretcher and take him with you."

After saying that, Bai Ye turned around and walked out of the cave.

Seeing this, Ethan hurriedly followed behind him. After traversing a road filled with the stench of blood, the two emerged from the cave and came into the sunlight.

Under the glaring midday sun, Ethan squinted instinctively, and it took him a while to adjust to the intense light outside the cave.

The scene before him, which looked as if it had been hit by a tornado and artillery shells at the same time, made him gasp involuntarily. This place, which was comparable to post-war ruins, was full of debris. Could there still be a car here?

But it wasn't long before he realized his worries were unnecessary, because several hundred meters away, there were indeed some vehicles that hadn't been caught in the waves.

A dozen minutes later, two vehicles carrying several people headed to a nearby U.S. Air Force base. They encountered no obstacles along the way, and soon they saw Colonel James Roddy and a group of U.S. soldiers lined up at the entrance.

“Thank you so much for saving Tony,” Roddy said gratefully. “General Ross just called and told me about you. Please come inside and rest for a bit.”

Bai Ye got out of the car and nodded slightly, saying, "Stark is still unconscious inside. He'll wake up in a little while. I have some things to discuss with him after he wakes up."

……

Half an hour later, Stark felt his mind clear and gradually woke up from his drowsiness.

Just then, a calm male voice sounded from the side: "You're awake."

Stark was startled by the sudden sound beside him and turned around to see a very familiar-looking person standing to his side.

Bai Ye: "From now on, you are not allowed to do anything unnecessary, including touching that thing in your line of sight. If I see you make any strange movements, your heart will be pierced through instantly."

Chapter 114 No one can refuse my friendship

Inside an air force base in Afghanistan, in a private room, Bai Ye looked at Stark with indifferent eyes.
