#427 - Heroes for Hire vs Illyana

"Jessica, are you sure those two mutants are in here?"

A black giant of a man, like an iron tower, looked at the abandoned factory not far ahead before asking the woman beside him, who was shorter than him by more than a head. The woman he questioned seemed extremely impatient.

"You need to trust me, Luke. My informant gave me the information that the killer is in here." Jessica Jones rolled her eyes.

"I trust you, but I'm not so sure about your informant." Luke Cage scratched his head. "Forget it, I didn't say anything."

Seeing the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Luke wanted to change the subject. He immediately locked his target onto another friend.

"What's wrong, Daniel? You haven't said much since just now."

"I feel a very powerful and very evil force." Iron Fist Daniel Rand clenched his fists, his eyes behind the mask staring fixedly at the abandoned factory in front of him.

"You mean the enemy is hard to deal with, right?" Luke put his right hand on his neck and turned his head, his neck making a cracking sound with his movement.

"Since you've said so, then it seems we really need to be careful."

Luke knew that Daniel never spoke without reason. He was a taciturn wise man who could always notice things that others in their team didn't, so after hearing Daniel's reminder, he also became more vigilant.

"Da, da, da."

It was the sound of shoes stepping on the dirt. Daniel noticed the sound first and immediately reminded his friends beside him.

"Be careful, someone's coming out."

Luke immediately adopted a fighting stance, taking a step forward. Luke was the most durable one in the team, and he was used to rushing to the front lines to draw fire for his teammates. All of these actions were subconscious.

Illyana elegantly walked out of the mottled and dilapidated factory, looking at the three people in front of her as if facing a great enemy. The difference in numbers didn't cause the slightest change in her expression.

"So, you've come to catch me?" Illyana put one hand on her hip, casually leaning to one side, using her right leg as the center of gravity to support her body, looking like she was meeting someone on the street rather than facing the pursuit of enemies.

"Did you kill those six people?" Jessica asked loudly.

"If you're talking about the six black people who died this morning, then yes, I did it." Illyana admitted it generously.

"Then we're here to catch you." Jessica cracked her knuckles. "Save your words for your lawyer in jail."

Illyana didn't respond. In her opinion, she had only crushed six bugs. She didn't take it to heart at all, after all, she was taken to hell when she was seven years old, and her values ​​must be somewhat different from normal people.

Jessica was furious at Illyana's nonchalant appearance. Those were six lives! Even the most vicious killer wouldn't remain indifferent after taking six lives.

Jessica was already an impatient person, and at this time, she was like a powder keg that had been lit. She immediately attacked angrily, tapping her toes on the ground and rushing towards Illyana.

Illyana didn't show any fear in the face of Jessica rushing towards her. She took a big step, and her appearance began to change.

First, her right hand was covered by something like a knight's armor, and then scattered pieces of armor also appeared on other parts of her body, just like a transformation in a game.

Illyana made a fist with her right hand, and a bright blue light bloomed from her palm. A great sword that was half her height appeared in her hand in the blink of an eye, and she held it firmly.

Jessica didn't expect her opponent to suddenly pull out a great sword, and she didn't notice for a moment that she had rushed into Illyana's attack range.

Illyana, who had fought her way out of hell, naturally wouldn't hold back against her enemy. She smiled and swung the great sword at Jessica, who was rushing towards her, and it looked like Jessica was about to die.

"Bang!"

A golden energy bullet crossed Jessica at a faster speed and hit the blade of the giant sword. The huge force bounced the blade back, and Illyana, who was holding the giant sword, took a step back to steady herself.

While Illyana hadn't yet steadied herself, Jessica saw that the crisis had been resolved and didn't stop her movements. She swung her right fist at Illyana. In a hurry, Illyana raised the door-like great sword to block Jessica's punch, but she was still slid back several meters by the opponent's great force.

"Thanks, Iron Fist!" After Jessica thanked him, she didn't stop her offensive. Relying on her flying ability, she didn't land and continued to attack Illyana.

Illyana certainly wouldn't stand still and be beaten. She swung her heavy sword to force Jessica back, and at the same time, she looked warily at Daniel, who had just fired the energy bullet. The force made her feel her tiger's mouth go numb.

"Ha!"

Luke roared and launched a charge. With his own defense, even guns couldn't hurt him in the slightest. He naturally didn't think a great sword could do anything to him.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

The corners of Illyana's mouth rose slightly. A big fool like Luke Cage was hard to find even in hell. The other party actually wanted to fight her head-on, so how could she not accompany him?

Luke's charge was more terrifying than a tank. Even a tank would be overturned by him, but Illyana, seeing such a scene, was indeed smiling. She raised the giant sword in her hand and greeted him.

Daniel knew something was wrong when he saw Illyana's expression. The giant sword emitting blue light must be strange. He raised his right hand and prepared to fire another energy bullet.

Suddenly, several openings opened out of thin air around Daniel. Several winding and disgusting tentacles emerged from those openings, targeting Daniel, who was surrounded.

Although he didn't know what these things were, Daniel had no choice but to temporarily abandon his plan to support Luke, and turned the target of his fist to under his feet. As his fist bloomed with golden light, another energy bullet was fired.

"Boom!"

The huge impact not only dispelled the tentacles surrounding him, but Daniel also used this force to jump out of the encirclement. He cast his gaze on his companions while still in the air before landing.

While Daniel was entangled by the tentacles, Illyana had already exchanged blows with Luke. Luke swung his fist at the giant sword slashing at him, preparing to use his strength to forcibly create an opening and then take Illyana down in one fell swoop.

Faced with those fists that were stronger than steel, the giant sword in Illyana's hand didn't stop at all, and cleanly slashed across Luke's body. Illyana leaned over and passed by Luke. Behind her, Luke Cage crashed to the ground.
