American comics: From the black robes to becoming the ultimate Doomsday

"You don't remember Professor X? Have you forgotten? Your parents and sister were all kidnapped by Professor X, how could you not remember?" Ares Copperfield looked at Pei Yuan with a face full of suspicion.

"Who exactly are you?" Pei Yuan stared at Ares Copperfield with a furrowed brow. Although he didn't know who Professor X was, he felt that Ares Copperfield was very familiar, as if he had seen him before.

“I am Ares Copperfield, a member of the X-Men!” Ares Copperfield paused for a moment before saying, “My mission is to kill you!”

"Oh! So it's the X-Men!" Upon hearing that it was the X-Men, Pei Yuan suddenly realized, and his hostility lessened somewhat.

After all, he had participated in X-Men operations before, so he was an old friend of the X-Men.

"Surrender now, you can't possibly be my match!" Ares Copperfield said, looking at Pei Yuan with utter contempt.

"Heh!" Pei Yuan sneered, then his eyes hardened. "I've never known what surrender is!"

“Alright! It seems we have no choice but to resort to force,” Ares Copperfield said, shrugging.

"Come on!" Pei Yuan clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with burning fighting spirit.

With a whoosh, Ares Copperfield appeared in front of Pei Yuan in a flash, raising his right fist high and then smashing it toward Pei Yuan's neck.

"Buzz!"

Pei Yuan's hair stood on end, his muscles tensed, and then he dodged Ares Copperfield's fist in a flash.

"Bang!" Ares Copperfield's fist slammed hard against the wall.

"Crack!"

A huge concrete slab was smashed to pieces by Ares Copperfield, and fragments flew everywhere, splashing onto Pei Yuan's face.

Pei Yuan's eyelids twitched violently twice, his eyes fixed on Ares Copperfield, a deep sense of apprehension in them.

"Indeed, very strong!" Pei Yuan said, taking a deep breath.

He couldn't have dodged that punch at all. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been seriously injured by that punch. Even he is struggling now.

"Haha! You're not bad either!" Ares Copperfield looked at Pei Yuan excitedly and said, "But your strength is still far inferior to mine. I am the strongest super soldier!"

"Hmph!" Pei Yuan snorted coldly, then stomped his foot hard on the ground, his figure turning into a blur as he rushed out. His fist glowed with golden light, and then he smashed it hard towards Ares Copperfield.

"Oh!"

Ares Copperfield reacted quickly as well. When Pei Yuan attacked, he suddenly raised his fist and slammed it into Pei Yuan's fist. The two fists collided and a muffled thud was heard.

"Boom!"

A terrifying, mountain-like gust of wind swept outwards.

"boom!"

The two of them took several steps back at the same time, leaving a row of footprints on the ground.

"Drink!" Pei Yuan roared, lunging forward again towards Ares Copperfield.

"Hoo!" Ares Copperfield let out a long breath, and then an extremely terrifying power burst forth from his body, which he then used to meet Pei Yuan head-on.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

A series of intense fighting sounds rang out, and violent gusts of wind swept through the entire villa, causing chandeliers, tables, chairs, and other items to fall to the ground.

"Bang!" In the end, Pei Yuan and Ares Copperfield were both pushed back more than ten meters at the same time. They looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

“Kid, you’re pretty good, but that’s all you are!” Ares Copperfield stretched his sore arms and grinned.

His physique was indeed stronger than Pei Yuan's, but Pei Yuan clearly had the advantage in speed, which is why he was able to compete with Pei Yuan to a standstill.

"Is that so?" Pei Yuan said calmly, then bent his knees and leaped out like a cheetah, arriving in front of Ares Copperfield in the blink of an eye. He then swung his right arm and slammed it hard into Ares Copperfield's chest.

Ares Copperfield's pupils contracted sharply, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes. He then quickly leaped to the side, dodging Pei Yuan's fist.

"Boom!"

Pei Yuan's fist grazed Ares Copperfield's body, smashing the ground and creating a huge crater.

“Kid, I admit you’re fast, but if you think you can beat me with speed, you’re being naive.” Ares Copperfield said with a sneer, “Let me tell you, you have no chance against me, because my physical strength has reached a terrifying level. I can now withstand missile attacks with my bare hands.”

"Are you bragging?" Pei Yuan said with a sneer, "If you can block a missile attack with your bare hands, I'll kneel down and beg for mercy, calling you grandpa."

"Hmph!" Ares Copperfield snorted coldly, then clenched his right hand into a claw shape, his figure disappearing from the spot like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Pei Yuan, and a huge black claw slammed down on Pei Yuan's head, as if to tear his head apart.

"Boom!" Pei Yuan hurriedly retreated, dodging Ares Copperfield's claws, and then punched him in the waist.

Ares Copperfield deftly dodged Pei Yuan's attack, then spun around and kicked Pei Yuan in the abdomen with terrifying force.

"clang!"

Pei Yuan hurriedly stretched out his left hand to block, and then a muffled sound came.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, Ares Copperfield's body suddenly vanished into thin air, causing Pei Yuan's expression to change slightly.

"Hehe! Kid, I have the ability to become invisible." A sinister voice entered Pei Yuan's ears, and then he felt a sharp gust of wind coming towards him. He hurriedly dodged to the side and then kicked hard.

"boom!"

Ares Copperfield vanished instantly and reappeared to Pei Yuan's right, then delivered a powerful whip kick to Pei Yuan's body.

Pei Yuan's body flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and then struggled to his feet.

"Tsk tsk... You're still alive? Looks like you're pretty tough." Ares Copperfield clicked his tongue. "But that doesn't mean I can't kill you. Although my strength is only SSS-level, it's enough to crush any S-level being. Your fate will still remain the same."

"Boom!" As soon as Ares Copperfield finished speaking, he pounced on Pei Yuan. His body was tall and strong, like an iron tower, and he exuded a fierce aura.

Pei Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Why do you talk so much nonsense?" After saying that, he hurriedly went to greet Ares Copperfield.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Crack!"

The two exchanged blows wildly, each move containing terrifying power, shaking the entire world.

Ares Copperfield grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. Although his strength was slightly weaker than Pei Yuan's, the difference was not significant. Yet, after so much time, he still couldn't defeat his opponent.

"boom!"

Another fierce exchange of blows sent both men staggering back several steps.

"Damn bastard, how did your strength increase so quickly?" Ares Copperfield roared.

"Heh!" Pei Yuan sneered, offering no explanation.

"Kid, today I'll show you what despair is. The taste of death is definitely not pleasant." Ares Copperfield said coldly, then his muscles tensed up suddenly, and an even greater power erupted from his body. He then reappeared in front of Pei Yuan in a flash, his huge fist carrying an incomparably terrifying force as it slammed towards Pei Yuan's chest.

"Buzz!"

Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes, his body swayed, and he quickly moved to the side, narrowly dodging Ares Copperfield's fatal blow.

"Hmm?" Ares Copperfield raised an eyebrow, continued charging towards Pei Yuan, and then slammed his fists down on Pei Yuan with terrifying force.

A cold smile appeared on Pei Yuan's lips as he shifted his body to the side once more.

"Pfft!"

Ares Copperfield's fist pierced through Pei Yuan's afterimage and slammed directly into the wall behind Pei Yuan. The wall was immediately covered with dense, spiderweb-like cracks, and the entire wall collapsed.

Ares Copperfield's pupils contracted sharply, then he turned around again and chased after Pei Yuan, his dark eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty red light.

Pei Yuan's expression changed slightly, and then he suddenly lunged backward.

"call out!"

Ares Copperfield's figure disappeared again, then reappeared in front of Pei Yuan. He raised his thick palm and slapped it towards Pei Yuan with immense power.

"Bang!" Pei Yuan raised his arm and met Ares Copperfield's palm with a palm strike.

A dull thud resounded, and both of them were thrown back several steps.

Pei Yuan took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. His face was slightly pale. He felt his blood and qi churning inside him, and his internal organs felt like they were on fire, with excruciating pain.

Ares Copperfield flicked his wrist, then stared intently at Pei Yuan, a sinister smile spreading across his face: "Not bad, you actually managed to go toe-to-toe with me. You're a freak, but that's all."

"brush!"

The next second, Ares Copperfield lunged forward again, then delivered a knee strike to Pei Yuan's chest.

"call!"

Just as Ares Copperfield's knee was about to strike Pei Yuan's chest, Pei Yuan bent his body slightly, and Ares Copperfield's knee grazed past him.

"Bang!" Ares Copperfield's knee slammed into Pei Yuan's abdomen, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

Pei Yuan felt a metallic taste rise in his throat, then he couldn't help but cough, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Hahaha... I told you long ago, you are not worthy to be my opponent." Ares Copperfield roared to the sky, exuding an aura of dominance, as if he were possessed by a god of war, full of domineering power.

"Is that so?" Just then, a disdainful voice suddenly reached Ares Copperfield's ears.

Ares Copperfield suddenly turned his head and saw Pei Yuan slowly getting up from the ground not far away. He then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a tissue, his handsome face full of a mocking expression.
