Dummy obeyed Li Yue's order and played a random BGM from its database.
Li Yue wasted no time talking. He had decided to fight Homelander head-on, so he had nothing to fear anymore!
He charged with his flight ability to only a few dozen meters in front of Homelander, before stopping in midair and facing Homelander!
"Why are you hiding your strength? Why did you join the Seven?"
Homelander was a little shocked to see that Li Yue could float in the air just like himself. This was the first time he had seen a Supe that could fly apart from himself!
But Homelander was confident of his own strength. He didn't believe that Li Yue would be a threat even with this newfound power! That punch right now was a fluke because Li Yue caught him unprepared!
"How was it? My punch wasn't bad, right?"
Instead of answering Homelander's question, Li Yue simply smiled and taunted him.
"You... Alright, very good, you have successfully provoked me! I hope you're ready for the consequences!"
Homelander was maddened by rage. He lost all thought, save for tearing the figure in front of him into pieces and then burning the pieces into ashes!
"Why do villains always say that? Do you all share one brain cell?"
Li Yue's taunt still continued. He had decided that he belonged among the righteous, and the man he was facing was a villain!
"Bah! There's no point in wasting words. Time to prove them!"
Homelander, on the other hand, had undergone a personality switch into a cliche talkative villain. He leaned forward with a clenched fist, his aura radiating explosively to flutter his cape and even blow away the clouds!
"Wait wait!"
Li Yue suddenly shouted right before Homelander charged at him! Homelander's momentum was suddenly interrupted?
"What? Getting cold feet? But it's too late to apologize now!"
Homelander had absolute confidence in his own power, so he was not afraid of any tricks that Li Yue could pull! More than anything, he was confident in his speed. At this distance, he could reach Li Yue in less than a tenth of a second!
"Eh, you're thinking too highly of yourself. I just need some time to apply the buff to myself!"
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
Homelander was obviously confused by Li Yue's words!
The confusion turned into shock as Li Yue's appearance instantly changed! The exposed skin of his body turned into silver metal! And that wasn't all.
Li Yue began by instantly transmuting his entire body into Adamantium. He then closed his eyes and gathered every last drop of the God of Thunder power inside him. He only had 70% of Homelander's strength, so he had to go all out to have a chance of winning.
And Li Yue didn't want to "just" defeat Homelander.
...
After Li Yue closed his eyes, countless silver lightning wrapped around Li Yue's body.
The sky also suddenly darkened with kilometers of thick dark clouds. Thunder and lightning filled the sky: it was as if the end of the world had arrived!
...
"Oh no, the weather forecast didn't say that it would be raining today!"
On the ground, there was a Chinese youth who went hiking here for a vacation while taking pictures of the scenery! However, the sky suddenly turned as dark as night. He couldn't help but look up at the sky!
"Dammit, didn't they say immortal cultivation was banned after the establishment of the People's Republic of China? I guess the ban didn't apply overseas!"
He found that the sky had been covered by thick black clouds, with vast networks of lightning gathered into a humanoid figure.
...
Homelander felt a bad omen. In just two seconds, Li Yue's aura had risen to a threatening level.
He couldn't afford to wait, his confidence was all but evaporated. He gathered all his strength, clenched his right fist, and launched at Li Yue at full speed.
An explosive shockwave emanated every meter of the way, chaining into a single cacophony. Homelander's fist, powered by his full-speed charge, slammed ruthlessly into Li Yue's face!
Li Yue opened his eyes just when Homelander started the charge. But his eyes no longer looked like human eyes. It shone with the brilliant light of a lightning bolt, like a pair of white stars.
The dark clouds in the sky seemed as if welcoming him as their king. A deluge of lightning fell from the sky, and the thunder that they generated fused into a single explosion as if the sky itself had detonated.
The lightning bolts came at differing intensities, but they all converged on Li Yue. They fell like the water of Niagara Falls into Li Yue's body!
Homelander's fist was less than half a meter away from Li Yue, but Li Yue calmly raised his arm, fist clenched, and welcomed Homelander's own!
As the BGM played by Dummy reached its climax, their fists collided!
...
Boom!!
The shockwave was comparable to a nuclear bomb. A visible distortion in the air emanated from the point where Li Yue's and Homelander's fists collided. The dark clouds that covered kilometers of the sky were instantly blown away by the force, and the sun was restored to the sky!
Even a plane that had just taken off tens of kilometers away was almost swept up by the ripple.
Fortunately, the captain of this plane was an experienced one. He did not fall into a panic in this unexpected situation and gradually restored the balance of the plane!
Li Yue and Homelander at the center of it all were each pushed back several kilometers before they could stop themselves. Their battlesuits were already destroyed!
But as if choreographed in a dance, they simultaneously began rushing at each other again after they stopped!
Instead of another full-strength blow like they just did, Li Yue and Homelander chose to fight at a close quarter.
Both of them had immense strength and speed, so they didn't need any trickery. A straight fist was the truth!
The two sides only fought for a second, but they already punched each other a few hundred times. It was a battle of endurance! Sometimes, the two of them would gather their strength and unleash another full-power punch, forcing both of them to retreat kilometers away, before immediately resuming the battle.
...
"A true immortal cultivator versus Homelander! This is truly an unprecedented battle between the middle and outer realms. No, no, no, I have to take a picture and post it online!"
The Chinese youth below them almost fainted from the loud explosion. Only now did he come back to his senses and look at the two fighting figures in the sky!
He had probably read too many novels. When he saw Li Yue's baptism by lightning and the burning silver arcs around Li Yue's body, he could not help but see Li Yue as a true immortal cultivator!
