Heroes Return

"Huh? Are you serious?" Anya immediately appeared beside Ling Yu, and at the same time, she brought her face close to Ling Yu's eyes to examine him carefully.

"Really...really?" Faced with Anya's face, Ling Yu felt a little embarrassed, after all, a beautiful woman was very close to him at this moment.

But the next second Anya did something that completely surprised Lin Jie. She actually put one hand between Ling Yu's legs.

Suddenly, a shy yet alluring moan from a young girl rang out.

"As expected, I never thought my darling would even tell such a childish lie!" Anya was on the verge of exploding once again after confirming that Ling Yu didn't have that thing down there.

However, at that moment, the temperature throughout the entire holy city suddenly dropped, and Lin Jie and his companions could clearly see a massive ice pillar and golden light rising from the same spot. And after the two forces came into contact, time seemed to stand still.

"Finally found that boring old rogue!" Lin Jie looked excitedly into the distance: "If this Holy City didn't have energy that isolates perception, I would have rushed over and wiped them all out long ago."

Lin Jie then turned to Ling Yu and Anya seriously: "Let Ling Yu tell you what's going on! As a superhero representing justice, I have my own mission! I'm going to fight evil now!"

As he spoke, Lin Jie suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Damn it! You weren't like this just now! When did you become so righteous! I didn't see you like this when you were researching selling antiques! You're so despicable, you caused trouble yourself and then just dumped the blame on me!" Ling Yu looked at the spot where Lin Jie had disappeared and exclaimed helplessly.

Then he turned around in surprise to look at Anya, who was staring at him with a lovestruck expression: "As expected, even when you turn into a child, my darling becomes very handsome when you get serious!"

"What exactly makes him so handsome?!"

“A mistress is a mistress! You wouldn’t understand! Heh!” Anya’s bloodshot eyes turned directly to Ling Yu: “Since my dear has something important to do, as a proper woman, I absolutely cannot hold my husband back. In that case, let me deal with you, this mistress, first.”

"I'm not some mistress! I like women... Listen to me, make this clear..." Ling Yu's voice rang out at that moment.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After finally escaping Anya using an excuse, Lin Jie flew directly towards the magnificent view in the distance. Originally, Lin Jie intended to transform into Zero mode, but since he now appeared as a child, he abandoned the idea.

Because he suddenly realized that his appearance as a zero was really...not intimidating at all.

Lin Jie simply charged directly towards the direction of the battle.

Just as Lin Jie arrived at the outer edge of the battle, he was surprised to find that it was snowing. Meanwhile, a high-energy melee was unfolding there. One side consisted of three men wielding muskets and rapiers, along with a lewd and perverted man with scissors; the other side was made up of superheroes.

At that moment, a young girl appeared right next to Lin Jie.

"Ah! What a cute little kid! How did you get here? Do you know it's dangerous here right now?" The figure of the swift-light girl suddenly appeared beside Lin Jie, and then pinched and squeezed Lin Jie's face.

"Hehehe! You still have time to care about children?" A lewd man holding scissors suddenly appeared opposite the girl, Shunguang.

The girl in the blink of an eye immediately stepped in front of Lin Jie: "Little brother, even if you have superpowers, fighting here is far too dangerous for you!"

"Actually..." Lin Jie was about to say something when he saw the lewd man holding the scissors suddenly pull out a large pair of scissors: "Do you still have the mood to worry about the child? You should take a look at your own belly first. Hehehe."

"What did you say?" The girl stared at her stomach in surprise, a red line now appearing on her blue bodysuit. "What is this?"

"Hehehe, this is my true ability! Actually, our fight just now was just to get me to complete this interesting mark! Hehehe!" The man said lewdly to the girl in the blink of an eye, "As long as this red mark is there, you can't escape my scissors. Hehehe!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, a strange red line appeared in front of him. Although the scene had suddenly become warm and blossoming, the girl in the swift light felt an intense chill. At the same time, she moved with incredible speed, appearing before the man in black in the blink of an eye.

"Hehe, it's too late now that you've realized it. I can't wait to see what your intestines look like, hehehe." As he spoke, the man thrust the object in his hand directly into the red thread.

Just then, the girl of fleeting light appeared beside him, but she had no time to stop the man with the scissors from inserting them into the red thread.

At this critical moment, as swift as the wind, Lin Jie suddenly appeared beside the man with scissors, grabbed the man's head, and then carried him away at an extremely fast speed.

"Damn it! You're planning to kill such a cute girl? You pervert! I may watch some weird movies occasionally, but I hate this kind of hardcore stuff the most!" Lin Jie grabbed the man's head and yelled, "I can't believe someone your age still likes this kind of thing! Do you think you're Jack the Ripper?!"

"Actually, I am Jack the Ripper..." The man was shocked to discover the moment he was grabbed by the little boy, Lin Jie, that he had absolutely no way to escape from the boy's grasp. In fact, his body lost control the instant the boy grabbed him.

"Damn it! Did I tell you to talk nonsense while I was talking?" Lin Jie said angrily, punching the old scissor-wielding thug in front of him. The latter was immediately knocked unconscious.

For a moment, everyone stared in shock at Lin Jie, whose one-handed combat skills seemed completely disproportionate to his own physique. What on earth was going on? This seemingly small man had single-handedly subdued someone who had nearly driven an SS-rank to the brink of death under the dawn sunlight.

For a moment, the entire battlefield fell silent, and almost everyone stared at the little boy in front of them with a look of utter shock!

"I remember now! This is the kid Ivan said killed over a hundred Ivan clones!" Kira, who was fighting the enemy, was the first to realize this. And they instinctively stopped fighting.

"What exactly is going on with that child?" Rocky looked at the little boy in front of him in surprise.

At that moment, the captain of Justice, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly looked at Lin Jie and said, "I think I know who this child is."

As he spoke, Captain Justice flew to Lin Jie's side: "You must be the son of A-rank hero Lin Jie, right?"

"WTF?" Those were Lin Jie's first three words when faced with Captain Justice's question. Then he remembered his current, exasperated state: "I am Lin Jie! Lin Jie!"

"Huh? Are you kidding me?" Captain Justice said, somewhat surprised.

"I was turned into this by Ivan using that Seven Star Comical Ball! It's that giant comical ball that was in the sky a while ago!" Lin Jie explained to Captain Justice.

"Really? Is that so?" Hearing Lin Jie's words, Captain Justice stopped hesitating and chose to believe him: "Speaking of which, I used to say I looked like my dad when I was little! Hahahaha!"

“What he said is true!” The Son of God stepped forward at this moment: “I sensed a mysterious curse on him, but it was a curse I had never seen before.”

Just then, Lin Jie suddenly looked into the distance and said, "You guys continue with the team fight, I'm going to go get revenge."

Without waiting for anyone's reaction, Lin Jie disappeared from their sight, carrying the strange man in his hand.

After a brief moment of surprise, the others recovered and the battle resumed.

After advancing rapidly for a while, Lin Jie finally saw his target: Master Wuliao. However, Lin Jie then saw Master Wuliao kick Leng Yan away with a single, devastating kick. The next second, Leng Yan reappeared beside Master Wuliao as if in rewind, and Master Wuliao kicked him away again, creating a vicious cycle.

"Damn! I never thought that boring monk Wuliao would know such a brutal skill!" Lin Jie watched in surprise as Wuliao tortured Leng Yan with his "Mutilation Kick." However, Lin Jie didn't kill Wuliao immediately, because he wanted to enjoy watching Leng Yan being tortured for a while longer. After all, watching someone more handsome, with more fans, and better at acting cool than him get beaten up was honestly quite satisfying.

Lin Jie had originally planned to wait until Leng Yan couldn't take it anymore and fainted before making his move, but after watching for a while, he finally couldn't bear it any longer. Moreover, he had to admire Leng Yan; he hadn't expected that guy to be so resilient.

Out of humanitarian concern, Lin Jie threw the scissors he was holding at the Bored Master as a projectile. Immediately afterward, the Immortal Execution Sword in Lin Jie's hand moved, striking the Bored Master out of thin air.

The sword technique Lin Jie used was perfectly suited for a surprise attack: "One Strike - Punishment." With the longsword in his hand and its unavoidable nature, Lin Jie was confident he could kill anyone suddenly. An invisible sword aura struck the Bored Master's body directly.

Lin Jie's sword has an absolute 100% accuracy, which is why he has always been reluctant to use the Immortal Execution Sword—every strike draws blood!

No matter what it strikes, even if it's an illusion, as long as it's under the attack of the Immortal Execution Sword, the sword energy will directly hit the illusory entity and shatter the illusion. There is only one way in this world to avoid the Immortal Execution Sword: to confront it head-on with your own strength.

Master Bored was also directly struck by a sword and then turned into ice powder by Cold Flame.

However, after Leng Yan killed the Bored Master and ended his agonizing ordeal, he seemed to Lin Jie to be having a fit of madness as he started yelling at him.

"I'm actually helping you!" Lin Jie looked at Leng Yan with some confusion.

"I'd rather be kicked to death by him than rely on someone else's sneak attack to defeat him," Leng Yan said angrily. "Besides, I didn't ask you to meddle! I already said I'd take him down by myself!"

"Damn it! I'm already being nice by not stealing your kills, and you're blaming me for coming over to help you out!" Lin Jie looked at Leng Yan with displeasure.

"And who exactly are you?" As Leng Yan looked at Lin Jie, powerful blue flames erupted in his eyes once again: "I have never seen a child possess such power before."

"I'm not a child! I'm a 24-year-old adult!" Lin Jie said to the person in front of him, annoyed.

Are you a person with dwarfism?

"You're the one with dwarfism! Your whole family has dwarfism!" Lin Jie shouted at Leng Yan. "I'm just cursed! Damn it!" But while Lin Jie was angrily yelling at Leng Yan, he also swung his sword at a distance. Instantly, three Ivans who were watching from afar were killed by Lin Jie's sword.

"Hey! Aren't we just collateral damage?!" one of the Ivans said with a wicked grin before dying. With these three Ivans killed by Lin Jie, the three men wielding muskets who had been fighting vanished into thin air. Seeing their enemies disappear, all the heroes immediately rushed towards the central temple.

However, the atmosphere between Lin Jie and Leng Yan was not good at this time.

But just as the two were staring at each other, a massive burst of light energy suddenly erupted from the entire central temple.

At this moment, both Alice and Delis were lying on the ground in agony. As for the admiral that Alice had summoned, all that remained was an arm holding a bar of soap.

"Hahaha! Do you think I would leave without making any preparations when I'm altering your memories?" Evan smiled as he looked at the Alice sisters lying on the ground.

Chapter 32

"Actually, when I was tampering with your memories, I made some minor adjustments, hahaha! I also subtly gave you a little psychological suggestion!" Evan smiled as he looked at the two girls in front of him. Just a few minutes ago, Evan had only made two strange gestures, and Alice and the other girl had lost control of their bodies.

“While it’s not easy to cultivate such an interesting toy, now that I have an even more interesting toy, you are no longer important.” With that, Ivan raised the pistol in his hand, pointing the muzzle directly at Alice’s head.

However, at that moment, a small figure who looked only three years old suddenly appeared in front of Alice, wielding a longsword that slashed directly at Evan. At the same time, the blonde angel beside Evan reacted quickly, immediately stepping in front of Evan as Lin Jie appeared, her glowing energy sword meeting Lin Jie's sword in the critical moment.

Instantly, the energy sword and Lin Jie's longsword clashed. An invisible force swept across the entire central temple. When the force dissipated, only ruins remained. The golden-haired angel was also sent flying backward by Lin Jie's powerful strike.

"Hahahaha! This is really interesting!" Ivan struggled to his feet and said to the blonde angel, "Help me hold off the enemies for a bit. I think it's time to activate this interesting item! Hahahaha!"

At that moment, all the superheroes arrived. The instant they saw Ivan, they rushed towards him.

"As you command." The golden angel said, and a strong light burst forth from him, instantly forming a shield in front of Ivan. The golden shield actually blocked all the ranged attacks from the powerful figures in front of him, while the angel himself flew directly towards Lin Jie, who was opposite Ivan. At this moment, Lin Jie was directly pushed away by the golden angel.

At this moment, Ivan held a heart that radiated a dazzling light in his hand, and Felicia, whose eyes were vacant, appeared beside Ivan at some point.

“Now all we need is a vessel to hold this heart. Hahahaha! It’s just a heart transplant, no problem at all for me! I’m used to cutting up hearts all the time, hahahahaha!” After saying this, Ivan produced a laser dagger, and a bloodthirsty glint appeared on his face.

"Damn it! We absolutely can't let him succeed!" Captain Justice shouted to all the superheroes present as soon as he saw Ivan's move. Instantly, everyone attacked Ivan.

But just as everyone was about to attack, beams of light burst forth beneath their feet.

Dozens of enormous monsters, seemingly formed from light, appeared before everyone's eyes at that moment. Upon seeing these monsters, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

This monster was once the most common servant of the Horned Angels, a terrifying monster with an SS-level power rating.

"Damn it, it's a Light Beast!" Rocky said, punching one of the Light Beasts. But the Light Beast only swayed slightly and didn't even show any serious injury under Rocky's powerful punch.

Dozens of these luminous beasts appeared at once. The heroes present were immediately engaged in a fierce battle, except for two: Leng Yan and Lin Jie.

The former was immediately surrounded by a large number of light beasts, while the latter was staring at the golden-haired angel.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Zero," the blonde angel said with a smile as she looked at Lin Jie.

"I'm sorry, I don't have time to talk to you right now." Lin Jie said, then looked at Ivan's reflection not far away: "I have to save my student right now."

As he spoke, the Immortal Execution Sword in Lin Jie's hand erupted at that moment. Instantly, Lin Jie's aura changed. An invisible and terrifying power swept through everyone's hearts at that moment, and even the soulless puppet light beast was affected by this huge and terrifying sword intent image, and its body trembled involuntarily.

"Is that Zero?" Captain Justice immediately looked around when he sensed the immense aura emanating from him.

At that moment, amidst a dozen enormous ice sculptures, Leng Yan clenched his fist around his heart once more. Since gaining his current power, this was likely the first time he had ever felt such terrifying cold. That terrifying cold wasn't physical; it was a chill that penetrated to the very soul.

"Is this Zero's aura?" Leng Yan clenched his fist, his body trembling uncontrollably. In fact, the stronger a person is, the more they can sense just how terrifying this power truly is.

At that moment, unnoticed by anyone, Lin Jie raised his longsword in a certain spot within the ruins. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to converge upon the sword in Lin Jie's hand.

All life around Lin Jie, including plants, withered and died rapidly at that moment. Even the morning sunlight seemed to dim.

"I'm not the same person I was when I fought you back then. I'm strong enough now to defeat you directly," Lin Jie said coldly to the blonde angel.

"You should know that I have abandoned my mission, and I do not wish to be your enemy now," the blonde angel said coldly to Lin Jie.

"Then get out of the way immediately!" Sensing that Ivan had approached Felicia, Lin Jie decided not to waste any more words with the beautiful angel before him. Although chatting and catching up with a beautiful woman was indeed quite nice, it was nothing compared to the life of his student.

"Don't worry, that girl named Felicia is not under my control."

The golden-haired angel suddenly spoke to Lin Jie, and at the same time, Felicia's eyes suddenly cleared. Simultaneously, a fist formed from condensed mental energy attacked Ivan directly. Sensing this, Lin Jie temporarily relaxed and began to focus his attention on the golden-haired angel. Felicia, possessing at least A-level mental strength, had no reason to lose in a one-on-one fight to Ivan, whose physical combat power was not high.
