Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"Dr. X, what have I ever done to you? Sending these four freaks over here," Sabretooth thought to himself.

Jean Grey walked to the saber-toothed tiger's side and gently touched it with her soft, white hand. The tiger's eyes became glazed, and it lost its fighting ability.

"This guy's recovery ability is insane; no wonder Dr. X sent the four of us over."

"Let's go, take Wolverine back." X-Men Captain Cyclops grabbed Sabretooth and walked towards Wolverine with the other three.

"You've been holding back for so long, let's see what your schemes are." Even the four of them combined were no match for Lin Yaoxie, but he didn't intend to reveal himself now.

Although the saber-toothed tiger was mentally corrupted by Jean Grey, it was not in any danger to its life.

Soon, the four people without laser eyes arrived at Wolverine's side. Wolverine was holding Silver Fox, looking up at the sky with a melancholy expression at a 45-degree angle.

“Logan, come back with us.” Cyclops walked up to Wolverine and patted him on the shoulder in comfort.

Upon seeing the saber-toothed tiger in Cyclops's hand, Wolverine was instantly filled with rage. He released Silver Fox and slammed his fists down hard on the saber-toothed tiger.

The four Cyclops did not stop her. Jean Grey came to Silver Fox's side, placed her hand on her heart, and after about half a minute, she stood up and shook her head at the others.

"What? Even you can't revive her?" Gambit was slightly surprised. He had joined Xavier's School of the Arts after being convinced by his encounter with Jean Grey. And there was an ambiguous relationship between him and Jean Grey.

“Her heart was completely pierced and lost all function. Not only me, but even Doctor X couldn’t revive her.” Jean Grey turned her gaze to Sabretooth, secretly astonished. Known as the Phoenix, she possessed incredibly powerful resurrection abilities; as long as the deceased had even a sliver of life, she could bring them back to life.

“Logan!” Cyclops grabbed Wolverine and said seriously, “Based on your understanding of Sabretooth, is he capable of completely killing someone? Cutting off all life.”

Wolverine nodded, then turned to look at Sabretooth, who was howling in pain on the ground: "Give him half an hour, and he can kill a person completely."

Laser Eyes paused for a moment to think.

“He didn’t have half an hour. We sensed it the moment he killed Silver Fox. We rushed here with all our might, but we only had ten minutes at most. Besides, you were right next to him. Could he have cut off all of Silver Fox’s life force after she died?”

After hearing Gambit's words, Wolverine also sensed something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he immediately remembered the most crucial factor: "Something's not right! The first time Sabretooth ambushed Silver Fox, Silver Fox was only seriously injured because I was there to stop him. It wasn't until the second ambush that he killed Silver Fox, and that's when something strange happened."

Cyclops, Gambit, Jean Grey, and Rogue all crowded around Wolverine, who continued, "During the second Sabretooth attack, I tried to stop him. Although I was far weaker than him, I could at least slow down his attack and give Silver Fox time to react. But just as my claws were about to touch Sabretooth, a tremendous force came from my claws and knocked me back three meters."

"Repelled three meters??" The four laser-eyed men were startled.

"Could there be other people here!" the adorable little rascal suddenly blurted out.

Hearing Little Rascal's words, the others felt a strange sense of fear. Gambit, holding his circular detector, ran around the group. Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Gambit took a deep drag on his cigar, trying to calm himself: "You're overthinking it. There's no one within 500 meters."

As the King of Cards said this, Lin Yaoxie was hiding in the grass more than 20 meters behind him.

"Tell me specifically, what kind of immense force could knock you back three meters?" Jean Grey was incredulous. Although Wolverine hadn't undergone further modifications, his strength was already sufficient, and he was incredibly powerful; very few people could knock him back several meters head-on.

“That was a terrifying power.” As Wolverine gradually emerged from his grief, his mind became clearer: “That power was definitely not something Sabretooth could produce, nor was it my imagination. I also heard the sound of metal clashing. That power, how should I put it, was like the sword energy in Eastern movies.”

"Eastern cinema? Sword energy?" Gambit chuckled dismissively. "Come on, this isn't a movie. The East is indeed mysterious, but movies use special effects."

“It’s possible!” Cyclops’ words successfully attracted everyone’s attention: “I’ve heard Kent (Superman) say that there is a country called China in the East, and there is a guardian deity with great power. His strength is far above Kent’s, and his superpower is said to be sword energy. It is because of his existence that China has not been destroyed even after being invaded by many countries.”

Upon hearing Cyclops's words, Lin Yao, who was hiding in the shadows, chuckled evilly. This guy must be talking about the God of War who has lived for five hundred years. However, the God of War even has the glorious history of fighting Superman.

“Okay.” Gambit took out another cigar, cut off the butt, and lit it. “Let’s assume this character really exists. He attacked Wolverine but didn’t stop Sabretooth from killing Silver Fox, which means he’s hostile to us X-Men. If that’s the case, then we’re going to have a troublesome opponent.”

“Don’t forget how Silver Fox died.” Jean Grey interjected with a grim expression, “Since we’re certain that Sabretooth couldn’t completely sever Silver Fox’s life force, then someone else must have done it. If that person could truly sever Silver Fox’s life force invisibly, then it’s not surprising that he could repel Wolverine by three meters.”

After Jean Grey finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere became very strange.

After Gambit finished smoking two cigars, Cyclops, the leader of the X-Men, broke the silence first: "Our guess sounds absurd, but it's actually quite based on something. This guy first stopped Wolverine from saving Silver Fox, and then cut off all of Silver Fox's life force. I think he's after Silver Fox. But Silver Fox doesn't have any enemies, so this guy mainly wants to deal with us X-Men!"

"So that's why he didn't kill Sabretooth from the Brotherhood of Steel, or Wolverine from S.H.I.E.L.D." Gambit continued.

Lin Yaoxie, lurking in the shadows, couldn't help but marvel. They were truly a group of highly intelligent people; with just a single sword aura, they could deduce the entire situation. He hadn't intentionally severed the Silver Fox's supposed life force; the sword aura had merely entered its body.

Chapter 276 Little Mischief's Superpower

Even someone like Emperor Shitian and Xiong Ba couldn't withstand his sword energy, let alone this little mutant.

“There’s another possibility!” Cyclops glanced around. “Although it’s cruel, I’d rather believe this one. This person killed Silver Fox but let Wolverine go, possibly out of fear of S.H.I.E.L.D., or for some other reason. But he let Sabretooth go, most likely to use him to lure us out!”

“If he’s trying to lure us out!” The King of Cards fiddled with his deck of cards. “He’s definitely hiding around watching us, and my detector can’t detect him.”

Jean Grey asked in confusion, "Since all four of us have been lured out, why hasn't he made a move?"

"Maybe they're using the saber-toothed tiger to see what we'll do next?" Little Rascal didn't talk much, but he always got to the point.

“Very likely!” Cyclops gave Rogue an approving look. “If all of this is true, then it will be easy to lure this guy out.”

"Oh?" Gambit raised an eyebrow.

Laser Eyes turned his gaze to the saber-toothed tiger lying on the ground and shot a high-energy ray from his eyes, heading straight for the tiger.

Just as the high-energy ray was about to hit the saber-toothed tiger, a sword aura suddenly appeared and easily neutralized the high-energy ray.

"Wow, that's brilliant! No wonder you're an X-Men member, your reasoning is like that of a detective." Lin Yaoxie clapped as he appeared in everyone's sight.

Cyclops, Jean Grey, Gambit, Wolverine, and Rogue all turned to look at Lin Yaoxie.

"Who are you?" Laser Eyes, as the captain, spoke first.

"Didn't you already guess?" Lin Yaoxie said calmly, exuding an air of superiority.

"Did you kill Silver Fox?" Jean Grey asked hastily. Wolverine raised his head and stared directly at Lin Yaoxie.

Lin Yaoxie didn't care about the young Wolverine's fierce gaze at all. He nodded slightly: "If it's what you're talking about, then it was indeed me who killed him."

"You!" Wolverine was furious, not only because Lin Yaoxie killed his beloved woman, but more importantly because he had also damaged the brotherhood between Wolverine and Sabretooth.

"Die!" Wolverine's rage erupted completely in that instant. He leaped towards Lin Yaoxie, his claws already at Lin Yaoxie's chest. Driven by rage, Wolverine unleashed his maximum power.

Lin Yaoxie raised one hand, and countless sword energies appeared in the air, surging towards various parts of Wolverine's body.

"Ah!" Wolverine cried out in pain as he was thrown a great distance away and crashed heavily to the ground, covered in blood.

"If you dare to provoke me again, even though I have a prior agreement, I will still kill you." Lin Yaoxie glanced at Wolverine with disdain; he was utterly weak and easily defeated. Remembering that the Demon King System had a rule against interfering with the birth of superheroes, he had held back and hadn't killed Wolverine earlier.

"You're really amazing." Lin Yaoxie came back to his senses and saw a girl standing next to him, tightly hugging his arm.

Cyclops, Gambit, and Jean Grey all stared at Rogue, for this was Rogue's incredible ability: to absorb the life force of others through skin contact and gain their abilities.

A playful glint flashed in Lin Yaoxie's eyes before he turned and pulled Xiao Taoqi into his arms: "You little chick, not only is your face attractive, but you also have a really great figure." As he finished speaking, Lin Yaoxie's hands began to wander. Xiao Taoqi was only eighteen, but her figure was exceptionally well-developed.

The little rascal didn't dodge at all, and even took the initiative to wriggle in Lin Yaoxie's arms, which made the latter even more unrestrained in touching her.

After further skin-to-skin contact, the little rascal perfectly unleashed her superpowers.

"As expected, no man can resist Little Rascal. So what if you're so capable now?" Cyclops and Gambit both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, while Jean Grey looked at Lin Yaoxie with disdain.

Compared to the three X-Men beside her, Little Rogue was extremely surprised, her face showing worry. Lin Yaoxie had already groped her entire upper body, but her powers hadn't reacted at all!

Finally, the little rascal gritted his teeth, stood on tiptoe, and took the initiative to kiss Lin Yaoxie.

"Wow, that little rascal's acting is really convincing. It's the first time I've ever seen her kiss her opponent," the card master exclaimed from the side.

"Is she taking advantage of this mysterious opponent's good looks and deliberately using her superpowers to gain an advantage?" Cyclops said casually, even joking.

Even after the kiss, the little rascal still hadn't gained any of her opponent's superpowers. She already looked bitter and tried to break free from Lin Yaoxie, but he held her tightly.

"You think you can leave my arms?" Lin Yaoxie grinned wickedly. He had already investigated the four people's information and abilities beforehand, and he had already seen through Xiao Taoqi's tricks when Xiao Taoqi took the initiative to throw himself into his arms.

But Lin Yaoxie cultivates authentic true qi, which is completely different from the Marvel system. So what if Xiao Taoqi can acquire all of Lin Yaoxie's skills? She's useless without true qi to support her.

After figuring this out, Lin Yaoxie was quite happy to let Xiao Taoqi rub against him. Besides, Xiao Taoqi was beautiful and well-endowed, and when she matured, she would be a stunning beauty.

Seeing the little rascal trying to break free from Lin Yaoxie's embrace, the Card King chuckled: "I never realized this little rascal could actually act like that. Look how realistic his expression is."

"Go save them, you idiot!" Jean Grey glared at him disdainfully. Cyclops had already taken action, unleashing a high-energy ray at Lin Yaoxie.

Lin Yaoxie didn't dodge at all, standing still and continuing to eat Xiao Tao's tofu. When the high-energy rays came, he flashed and easily dodged them.

"Here you go!" The King of Cards flung five playing cards with both hands, a rather stylish move. The five cards surrounded Lin Yaoxie, then suddenly contracted, exploding just before reaching him.

This is the King of Cards' ultimate move: a straight flush. The five cards in a straight flush consist of the 10, J, Q, K, and Ace of Hearts, making it incredibly powerful. Previously, the King of Cards could severely injure Sabretooth with just the Ace of Spades; this straight flush combination amplifies its power hundreds of times.

"What a pity." This was the first time the King of Cards had successfully executed this move, and he was stunned by the energy unleashed by this straight flush. But this was not the strongest straight flush in the King of Cards' mind. A straight flush consisting of five spades would undoubtedly be stronger, but unfortunately, the ace of spades had been used to deal with Sabretooth Tiger.

"Gambit, isn't this a theoretical move from Doctor X? When did you learn it?" Cyclops was also shocked by the powerful energy unleashed by this long attack; the energy contained within was equivalent to a small atomic bomb.

Chapter 277 Cleverly Subduing the Little Rascal

"Just casually tossed it out." The King of Cards shrugged smugly.

"That's impressive." Jean Grey looked at Gambit with a strange expression, while the latter was secretly overjoyed.

"You idiot, that mysterious person is dead, but what about Little Rascal?"

"Yeah, it's Little Rascal too..." The three of them quickly looked towards the explosion area. After the smoke slowly dissipated, a tall and handsome black figure appeared.

Lin Yaoxie's white clothes had been ripped open by a straight flush, leaving several large holes, and he held the trembling little rascal tightly in his arms.

"You self-proclaimed righteous guys, don't you even care about the lives of your comrades?" Lin Yaoxie's tone was a mixture of anger and sorrow, and he deliberately spoke loudly.

The little rascal in her arms looked up at Lin Yaoxie with her big, teary eyes. From her angle, Lin Yaoxie looked even more handsome.

Cyclops said seriously, "I don't know what your purpose is. Please let go of Rogue."

"One wants to kill her with his eyes, and the other wants to kill her with playing cards. You want me to let her go? Don't you think that's ridiculous?" Although he said this, Lin Yaoxie was secretly overjoyed. He was just worried about not having an excuse to take Xiao Taoqi away, but he didn't expect these two to cooperate so well.

"She's one of our X-Men. Are you going to go against the entire X-Men, the Justice League, and S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Jean Grey used the three major American alliances to intimidate Lin Yaoxie.

"Hmph! Even if it means going against the whole world, I won't let her fall into the hands of your alliance, which doesn't care about the lives of its teammates and only thinks about using other people's superpowers to gain benefits for you!" As soon as Lin Yaoxie finished speaking, the little rascal in his arms was filled with tears of emotion and looked at her affectionately.

Cyclops stood his ground: "I advise you to let go of Rogue. Being hunted down by the three major alliances is not a pleasant experience."

"Okay!" Lin Yaoxie released Xiao Taoqi, who suddenly broke free from the warm and comforting embrace, feeling a pang of disappointment.

"Let her choose for herself. If she wants to be with you, I will not stop her. If she is with me, I will fight the three major alliances to the bitter end, even if it costs me my life!"

Seeing Lin Yaoxie release Xiao Taoqi, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little Rascal, come here. This guy is too tough to deal with. Even when Gambit and I teamed up, we couldn't kill him." Laser Eyes looked at Lin Yaoxie nervously, afraid that he would change his mind at the last minute.

To everyone's surprise, the little rascal didn't even glance at Laser Eyes. She looked up at Lin Yaoxie with her big, watery eyes and asked, "Would you really go against the three major alliances for my sake?"

Lin Yaoxie gave a friendly smile: "I mean what I say."

Hearing Lin Yao's wicked words, the little rascal smiled happily, revealing two cute dimples: "Then take me away."

The little rascal took the initiative to hug Lin Yaoxie.

"Did you hear that!" Lin Yaoxie glared fiercely at Laser Eyes: "She wants to come with me! I'm in a good mood right now, so if you know what's good for you, get out of the way."

After saying that, Lin Yaoxie, holding Little Mischief, slowly approached the three Laser Eyes.
