Marvel Superheroes in China

After letting out a heavy sigh, General Zhao said with a bitter smile, "Well, it's just bad luck. He was at the very back of the group when he got entangled by the monster. Whether he lives or dies is up to fate."

A sense of sorrow slowly spread through the ranks; everyone's face was etched with grief. Humanity had lost a genius, a tremendous loss for the human legion.

General Zhao glanced at the somber faces of the crowd and sighed, "Never mind, let's go in. We'll definitely have a meeting soon."

As he spoke, General Zhao looked up into the distance, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes, before turning and leading the way into Dawn City.

……

The large procession entering the city naturally attracted the attention of many people within the city.

The street vendors all stopped hawking their wares and turned to look at the group.

General Zhao walked ahead with a dark face. The disappearance of Qin Wu felt like a huge stone weighing heavily on his mind, and his eyes became somewhat complicated.

The people on both sides of the street all knew who was leading the group. Seeing General Zhao's dark face, they assumed he had encountered something outside the city, so they didn't dare to approach him and just watched them from a distance.

Behind General Zhao, the expressions of the Transcendent Realm experts were not as serious as General Zhao's, but they were not much better. After all, it was hard for humanity to lose a genius, so these Transcendent Realm experts walked forward with their heads down, without saying a word.

However, the new martial artists were different. It was their first time visiting a human settlement city, so they were naturally very curious about its layout. Although they didn't say it, their expressions betrayed them. They looked left and right, seemingly unconcerned about the loss of Qin Wu in the team.

The massive procession moved slowly through the city, heading straight for the council hall in the city center.

On both sides of the street, there were many people standing, including Iron Man. He had only recently arrived in the dimensional city and came out today to take a look around. Moreover, he heard that Qin Wu was also coming to the dimensional world, so he came to the city gate early in the morning to wait.

Iron Man strolled along the street, his eyes fixed on the merchandise, but his mind was constantly on Qin Wu.

As he walked, he thought to himself, "Since I joined the Shaolin Temple a year ago, I have cultivated internal energy to the point where I can dominate. With my steel armor, I am now strong enough to sweep through all internal energy cultivators. Qin Wu, Qin Wu, I am finally qualified to challenge you. Hmph."

As he was walking, he suddenly felt himself bump into something, and he froze, looking up ahead.

When Iron Man saw General Zhao leading his large entourage in, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

A voice exclaimed, "Qin Wu is here!"

Iron Man's eyes gleamed with excitement. He rubbed his hands together, swallowed hard, and chuckled, "Qin Wu! 087, I've been waiting for you for ages!"

After speaking, Iron Man hurriedly stepped forward, completely ignoring General Zhao's dark face, his mind only focused on the name Qin Wu.

"General Zhao... General Zhao..."

Iron Man stopped in front of General Zhao and chuckled, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Upon hearing this, General Zhao stopped in his tracks, looking at the blond, blue-eyed foreigner in front of him with a puzzled expression. A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes as he asked, "Who are you?"

Iron Man stomped his foot excitedly, rubbed his hands together, and laughed, "I'm Iron Man, the American superhero! You forgot? Never mind, I wanted to ask you, where's Qin Wu?"

Upon hearing the name Qin Wu, General Zhao immediately frowned.

Before General Zhao could speak, a thin middle-aged man approached, causing General Zhao's expression to change.

"Chen...Chen Baima?!"

Chen Baima walked towards the group, laughing loudly, "Qin Wu, I heard you came to this plane and didn't even ask for any pills? I don't want you to come back to me for them after you get up there. Don't let people say I ripped you off. Come out here!"

As he spoke, Chen Baima arrived in front of General Zhao. Looking at General Zhao Long before him, Chen Baima's face turned incredibly red, and he laughed loudly: "Where is Qin Wu?"

.......

Chapter 169: Who exactly is Qin Wu?

Seeing Chen Baima's excited expression, General Zhao was speechless for a moment, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

He stammered and couldn't get a word out for a long time.

Chen Baima, who had been excited, looked puzzled when he saw General Zhao's actions and asked again, "Tell me, where is Qin Wuren?"

Iron Man, standing to the side, nodded heavily and said in a serious tone, "Yes, General Zhao, I've been wanting to spar with Qin Wu for a long time."

The people on both sides of the street naturally heard their conversation.

They were all puzzled.

"Who is Qin Wu? Why does even Chen Baima care about him so much?"

You have to understand, Chen Baima is a master of the Gang Jin realm. Being a master of the Gang Jin realm isn't so bad, but Chen Baima is the Western Garrison Commander! The fact that even he cares about someone like this naturally aroused the interest of the surrounding audience.

"I heard that this Qin Wu was quite popular on Earth. He was a genius martial artist who broke through to the inner strength level at the age of twenty. Chen Baima would naturally take such a powerful person seriously."

"Really? That's amazing! You broke through to the inner strength level at the age of twenty. I didn't reach the inner strength level until I was forty. I really want to meet this genius."

General Zhao overheard every word of the conversations between the spectators on both sides of the street.

General Zhao cried out in his heart, "Qin Wu, Qin Wu, how could you be trapped by a monster? You're such a genius... Alas!"

Now Chen Baima is asking me for Qin Wu back then. Chen Baima had already told me to take good care of Qin Wu. Now that he's gone, how am I going to explain this?

General Zhao looked pained, as if he wanted to cry but couldn't. Looking at the excited crowd in front of him, he sighed heavily.

Upon seeing this, Chen Baima's originally burning gaze immediately turned cold, and his excited expression suddenly became tense. Seeing Zhao Long lower his head and remain silent for a long time, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

He demanded sharply, "Zhao Long, answer my question, where is Qin Wuren?"

Iron Man, standing nearby, also tensed up. Listening to their conversation, he thought to himself, "Could Qin Wu have not come? No, that can't be right. I heard he was supposed to come today. Could he be dead?"

A sudden thought popped into his head, causing Iron Man's expression to change drastically. His eyes widened slightly as he asked nervously, "General Zhao... where is Qin Wu?"

The intense gazes around him once again focused on General Zhao, instantly increasing the pressure on him.

"He...he's lost..."

After a long silence, General Zhao finally uttered these words.

This one sentence enraged Chen Baima.

His initial excitement vanished instantly. He stared at General Zhao, his anger blazing. "The man I entrusted to you, and you actually lost him?"

He shouted angrily, "What are you saying? Lost?! What happened?!"

Chen Baima was furious. His slightly gaunt face was flushed red and purple, and he was panting heavily, which showed how furious he was.

Iron Man seemed incredulous that Qin Wu was missing!

His face turned deathly pale, and he stared wide-eyed, his voice trembling as he asked, "Lost...lost? How did it get lost?"

Iron Man was also very confused. How could someone just disappear like that? He had trained so hard for so long just to meet Qin Wu and spar with him today, and all he got in return was this news of him being lost?

Iron Man couldn't sleep a wink all day because he couldn't figure this out.

The surrounding crowd was also in disbelief. How could a genius just disappear like that? What could have happened outside the city that could cause a living person to go missing, especially with General Zhao leading the team? How could this be?

"Lost... No way, there are so many people, how could only Qin Wu be missing?"

"Yes, what happened?"

A cloud of doubt instantly appeared on everyone's minds, and none of the onlookers knew what had happened.

General Zhao, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head reluctantly after hearing Chen Baima's angry rebuke, his eyes showing a hint of fear. It wasn't that there was much difference in their strength; Chen Baima was a Gang Jin expert, and so was General Zhao. Their cultivation levels were almost the same. The burst of aura he had just displayed was because these newcomers didn't understand what a Grandmaster's power was, which was why they called him a Grandmaster. But it didn't matter; General Zhao was already a quasi-Grandmaster.

Seeing Chen Baima's angry face, General Zhao's expression was also extremely grim, even tinged with helplessness. He swallowed twice and said nervously, "He's lost. He's just outside the city. We encountered a demon beast, and he was stopped by it. We dare not go to rescue that demon beast, it's a tiger-dragon! Moreover, there are many other demon beasts outside, plus the pressure from the Grandmaster of the Plane. We have no choice but to give up."

These words almost made Chen Baima faint.

Chen Baima took two steps back, but fortunately a passerby caught him, preventing him from falling to the ground.

He held his forehead with his right hand, his eyes tightly closed, unable to accept the fact at all.

Qin Wu is gone? How could he be gone? Such a genius, who broke through to the inner strength level at the age of twenty and even dared to fight Wu Hui Da, is gone on his first visit to this world?!

Chen Baima's face was extremely pale, and he was panting heavily. Because he had his head down, the people in front of him could not see the expression on Chen Baima's face at all, but they could feel an uneasy aura surrounding Chen Baima, and their faces were filled with tension.

General Zhao, in particular, was deeply saddened to see Chen Baima nearly faint and kneel down. Their friendship, having been for many years, was undeniable. He naturally took Chen Baima's instructions seriously, but Qin Wu had been lost because of him (Qian Zhao).

Looking at Chen Baima in the distance, General Zhao's eyes reddened, and he choked out, "Baima... I'm so sorry!"

At that moment, a figure slowly descended from the sky.

As the figure descended, a voice as resounding as a great bell rang out at the same time.

"Find Qin Wu wherever he was lost."

Everyone froze, and everyone except Chen Baima looked up.

"Lu Acai!"

"It's actually Grandmaster Lu Acai!"

"Hiss—good heavens, who exactly is Qin Wu?"

"Even grandmasters have been alarmed!"

"Lu Acai is no ordinary grandmaster; he's a high-grade grandmaster, practically a Nascent Soul cultivator at the half-step level!"

"Holy crap, who exactly is Qin Wu? Even Lu Acai has been alarmed."

.......

Chapter 170: Qin Wu is Dead

Lu Acai's arrival left everyone present feeling disappointed.

No one expected that Qin Wu, a mere garrison commander, would provoke such concern and anxiety from a high-ranking master.

It should be known that those who become grandmasters have extremely high standards. Everyone present, especially those martial artists who had traveled with Qin Wu in the past, were extremely puzzled.
