He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

Lark's attack was sudden, but it did not catch Kingpin off guard.

He calmly raised his cane and used the same trick to release a laser.

The scene seemed familiar, but the result was completely different.

The laser beam struck the metal sphere and was mercilessly deflected. The metal sphere, covered in jagged barbs, spun rapidly and slammed into Kingpin's face.

Hibari Kyoya's confident words finally came out slowly: "The substance proliferated by the cloud flame is not less hard than its own solid material, but because it is too large and the flame is too scattered, the density is reduced."

Jin did not answer; he was in no condition to do so at that moment.

The spiky metal ball spun and struck him at high speed. Although it failed to knock down his massive body, it did cause his upper body to lean back sharply. The metal ball remained embedded in his face, hanging there and refusing to fall.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Kim then roared in anger.

He spread his arms, his body tense, ignoring the spikes on the ball, and slapped it hard, hugging Little Curly (the Cloud Needle Mouse) tightly, then ripped it off his face.

Immediately, blood flowed down his face, making him look particularly gruesome.

But that's about it.

Apart from a few minor cuts, the powerful spinning impact did not cause him much damage.

"That's all there is to it!"

Kingpin straightened up, said disdainfully, and then exerted his strength again, his muscles bulging all over his body, tearing his clothes and revealing his burly and powerful body.

Muscles, all muscles.

This large, fat man, who occupied two-thirds of the corridor, had surprisingly well-defined muscles under his clothes.

Furthermore, unlike muscles gained through protein-rich workouts, this man's muscles are more natural and unpretentious.

But that's why it seems exaggerated!

Beneath those exaggerated muscles, the spikes on the Cloud Needle Rat's body could only pierce the surface, unable to penetrate further and cause damage to the palm. And the sphere, shrunk to the size of a basketball and no longer subject to a decrease in density due to the dispersed cloud flames, shattered like glass amidst a series of cracking sounds.

Kingpin stands proudly amidst the glittering fragments, his massive body exuding an aura of dominance, like a king looking down from above.

He looked at Hibari with disdain and said, "So what if the hardness is the same?"

"...What a monstrous physique!"

Fighting against box-shaped weapons with flesh and blood... Faced with such an exaggerated performance, Hibari spoke his mind.

But his expression didn't change at all; only his cold eyes gained a hint of caution.

He took out six rings from his pocket, arranged them in three rows, and put them on his middle, index, and ring fingers. The flames burning were more intense and powerful than ever before.

"I'd love to have a one-on-one fight with someone like you, but you guys probably won't give me the chance!" Hibari glanced at Madam Gao, Shin, Bullseye, and the others around him, then fixed his gaze on Kingpin. "Even if I create a separate, isolated space using Re: Needle form, that old woman can still break through it. So, let's win by sheer numbers!"

As the words fell, the blazing cloud flames were absorbed by the floating cloud needle rats and the remains on the ground.

Then, the cloud needle rat continued to expand and grow, and when it reached a diameter of about two meters, it began to split. The remains on the ground, however, had expanded into individual parts from the very beginning.

In the blink of an eye, the walls of the entire floor were crushed and filled with metal spheres about two meters in diameter, covered with spikes.

Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, even Kingpin and Madam Gao became somber.

Two of them would be difficult to deal with, but now there are more than a dozen.

How do we fight this?

No, that's just Kingpin's and the other mob bosses' idea.

Madam Gao and Xin did not do so.

They possess the power to easily destroy these spheres, and could even take down a lark with a flick of their wrist.

However, if that power is used, it will inevitably be sensed by the people of Kunlun.

Then they'll have to scatter again.

In the past, this wouldn't have been a big deal.

But now, the potency of the elixir of immortality in their bodies is almost exhausted, and there are only two months left before they can mine dragon bones to refine the medicine.

If the people of Kunlun are attracted at this time, they will likely not be able to escape.

Or perhaps, even if they could escape, they wouldn't have the time to refine the elixir of immortality.

At that point, we'll really be doomed.

Here, even if you get killed, it doesn't matter, because you can be resurrected with the elixir of immortality.

However, nobody likes to die.

Especially when the balance of power has not yet shifted to a decisive point.

"Kill that brat, and all these things will crumble on their own!"

As a disciple of Kunlun and with centuries of longevity, Madam Gao instantly discerned the only hope for breaking the deadlock. She immediately activated the energy within her body and attacked Yun Que.

The others also rushed towards Yun Que.

"I have the numerical advantage now!"

A slight smile played on Yun Que's lips, and the needle-like spheres floating in the building suddenly erupted, spinning rapidly to block his path and the others.

Bullseye stood at a distance, holding a gun in his right hand. Without any apparent aiming, he emptied a whole magazine.

The bullet struck the side of the first sphere, then ricocheted diagonally, hitting the right front side, and then ricocheted again to hit the left front side... This repeated four times until the bullet finally broke through the blockade and reached the lark.

However, after four ricochets, the bullets' power had greatly diminished. Furthermore, having already witnessed Bullseye's abilities, Hibari was prepared. As the bullets approached, he subtly swung his crutches, deflecting them all.

"boom!"

Kingpin punched violently, sending a needle flying... Knowing that the opponent's power could destroy the needle-shaped Little Roll, Little Roll did not fight Kingpin head-on.

When taking a punch, use the force of the punch to fly backward, thus avoiding being smashed again.

As soon as one needle was knocked away, two more flew in from either side.

Kingpin had just thrown a full-force punch when he was caught between two rapidly spinning needles before he could even retract his power.

But his muscles were truly powerful; with his mortal body, he fought against the box weapon, forcefully watching the spikes fling the needles away.

But just as two were flung away, three more came, and three more were floating around.

Despite Kingpin's thick skin and unparalleled strength.

However, he has extremely poor agility and can only endure the continuous attacks.

On the other side, the Vladimir brothers, by supporting each other and hiding, barely managed to survive an attack by a ball of needle. The other ordinary people were not so lucky and were instantly crushed into a pulp.

And Madam Gao and the letter...

Faced with the balls and needles coming from all directions, they are as agile as swallows, always able to dodge the attacks without slowing down. Even if attacked from multiple directions at the same time, they can always slip through the gaps before being caught in a pincer movement.

In just a few breaths, the two arrived in front of Yun Que.

"Go to hell!"

Chapter 56 The Defenders Alliance

Xin held the knife, while Madam Gao raised her palm.

The two attacked from the left and right simultaneously.

The lark remained calm, raising his crutches and blocking the way from both sides.

"Clang!!"

The knives and cleavers clashed, sparks flying.

Their palms and knuckles collided, creating a burst of air.

This time, both sides had a certain understanding of each other's strength, and neither was caught off guard, so there was no poor performance such as being knocked away.

The three men made initial contact, then immediately separated, before attacking again and engaging in a fierce battle.

In an instant, swords flashed and palm prints flew.

The powerful collision created bursts of air that occasionally blew away nearby rubble and debris.

Although Yun Que possessed formidable physical prowess, both of them were traitors to Kunlun. Moreover, having survived for hundreds of years, they had honed their qi and martial arts to perfection.

Even if they dare not use Kunlun's true power, they will not lose to him; in a two-on-one situation, they have an absolute advantage.

But as Lark had said before, he now had the numerical advantage... The two needles spun around him, constantly putting pressure on Madam Gao and Xin.

One of them created an opening, while the other killed the enemy.

But any flaws created will always be destroyed by the ball needle.

As for abandoning Lark and instead attacking Needle... they're not that stupid to leave their backs to an opponent of that caliber.

……

"What is this? This is utter nonsense!"

Jessica lowered her binoculars, looking as if she'd seen a ghost.

This is on the rooftop of the building opposite Zhongcheng United Company.

Jessica Jones was drinking at a bar when she came here because of a phone call from Daredevil.

Then, she witnessed the fighting in the top-floor building across the street and found it utterly absurd.

Although she herself was not an ordinary person, she was still surprised by the battle on the other side... or rather, surprised by the box weapon and Madam Gao.

Flying, growing larger, shrinking, splitting... the extraordinary functions of the box weapon surprised and amazed her.

As for Madam Gao, she thought it was nonsense.

It's absurd enough that an old man could have such speed and strength, but she also witnessed the old man knocking away a giant needle with a single palm strike from a distance.

So, this old lady must be a superpowered person too!

"That's why I called you all here!"
