Chapter 86 - Anger (4/4)

Modified Version – Fengci (Bee Stinger):

+55% Attack Speed

Unique Passive: Lingqiao zhi Feng (Upgraded): Has a certain chance to trigger explosive attack speed, no higher than 100%.

"Damn! The modified version really is monstrously strong!"

Looking at the data, Tao Wen's eyes suddenly lit up with a strange brilliance. He could clearly feel his hand speed strengthening once again. As the passive value surged within him, he had a clear understanding in his mind.

Not higher than 100%—that means equal to 100%!

That was an insanely high value!

Once triggered, his attack speed would reach a terrifying level.

If he were to fight the Hulk again, he could knock the green giant unconscious in just one second!

This was a high-tier enhancement.

Bang!

Overcome with joy, he once again lifted his right foot and stomped down hard—his heel crashing into Hulk's abdomen.

With that stomp, the unconscious Hulk's eyes suddenly bulged wide, his eyeballs rolling up as he jolted awake.

But that same stomp made blood gush from his mouth, leaving him grievously injured once more.

Skill Fragment +1

With that single stomp, a line of data floated before Tao Wen's eyes.

Golden specks of light flickered in front of him, merging quickly into a radiant glow that fused into a new percentage bar: 1/10.

"This time… what kind of skill will it be?"

A flash of excitement burst in Tao Wen's gaze. His heart surged with expectation—this last skill had already given him a massive boost. What kind of power would the next one hold?

"ROAR!!!"

As soon as Hulk regained consciousness, he let out a thunderous bellow. His enormous mouth opened wide, aiming to bite down on Tao Wen's arm.

Both fists pounded toward Tao Wen's abdomen, desperate to knock him away and break free.

Boom!

Tao Wen lifted his right foot again, slamming it down onto Hulk's head. A violet glow instantly flared, and a terrifying force roared out like thunder.

Hulk's body convulsed violently, his gaping mouth snapping shut. His eyes rolled white as he fell unconscious again. After collapsing completely, his body rapidly shrank down, transforming back into Dr. Banner.

Tao Wen withdrew his foot from Banner's head.

"Such a pity."

Tao Wen shook his head. He had wanted to test the effect of the modified Recheng Lietan (Hot-Fervor Rounds), but clearly, that wasn't going to happen now. He'd have to find another time to experiment.

Skill Fragment +1

As golden light gleamed, Tao Wen gained another skill fragment: 2/10.

The sight made every nearby agent tremble in fear. None of them wanted to experience being beaten the way Tao Wen had just pummeled the Hulk.

For a moment, many even felt a sense of pity for the green monster.

Natasha felt the same—but unlike the others, a surge of blazing anger rose in her heart.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After loading her special rounds, she fired three shots in rapid succession.

"Not good!"

Tao Wen was still basking in triumph when a wave of unprecedented danger suddenly washed over him. His instincts screamed, and he instinctively shifted sideways—but it was too late.

Three bullets struck.

The first one hit his body—and a Phantom Shield instantly flared, deflecting the round.

The second bullet shattered the shield into fragments.

The third bullet struck his body directly, bouncing off, but leaving behind a burning gash. The searing pain made Tao Wen grit his teeth in agony.

"Lucky… it's just the skin."

Seeing it was only a surface wound, he exhaled in relief. That kind of pain was nothing.

But then—

"Wait… something's wrong!"

His face darkened. A dizzy haze flooded his mind, making his vision spin as the entire world whirled around him.

"Damn it!"

Tao Wen staggered toward the exit, but before he could take more than two steps, an arrow whistled through the air—slamming into his back with tremendous force, sending him crashing to the floor.

He tried to rise, but the powerful dizziness made his body weak. His limbs refused to obey. Any moment now, he'd pass out completely.

"He's finally down!"

Watching Tao Wen fall, Natasha's eyes gleamed with satisfaction, though her gaze soon grew complicated.

Tao Wen's strength had far exceeded her expectations. If he were allowed to continue growing, he'd become an unimaginably terrifying existence.

A small, forbidden thought crossed her mind—one of conquest—but she quickly crushed it.

Everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. suspected that Tao Wen's strength came at the cost of his own lifespan.

If his life weren't so short—if he possessed longevity like hers—she would've abandoned Barton and Banner without hesitation… and chosen Tao Wen instead.

"It's over."

Barton finally exhaled in relief, lowering his bow.

He hadn't expected things to unfold this way—Tao Wen's power was truly shocking.

But at least, it was over now.

"It's over."

The other agents sighed quietly. No matter how powerful one man was, he still couldn't surpass the power of technology.

"Hang him up."

Barton strode forward, giving the order to several lower-ranked agents.

The agents exchanged uneasy glances. None wanted to get close.

But under Barton's cold stare, they reluctantly moved toward Tao Wen.

"Get up!"

One man grabbed Tao Wen's right leg, trying to lift him.

Bang!

Suddenly—a flying shield roared through the air, striking the man's hand dead-on.

"Ah!"

The agent screamed, stumbling back. The shield spun back to its owner, and a tall figure appeared nearby.

"Rogers, what do you think you're doing?!"

Barton glared at him, raising his bow again.

"Doing what I must."

Rogers hoisted Tao Wen over his shoulder and sprinted toward the exit.

Whoosh!

Barton drew and fired in one motion, the arrow striking Rogers' shield, giving him even more momentum as he dashed out of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Seeing this, both Natasha and Barton sighed in relief. Their goal had been achieved—to drive Tao Wen out of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Given his short lifespan, he wouldn't pose much of a threat.

But Rogers was another matter.

He had enormous public prestige. Touching him would unleash a wave of backlash—Fury himself would intervene. That was something they absolutely wanted to avoid.

Inside the Office

Knock knock knock.

A grim-faced Coulson pounded hard on Fury's office door.

After a dozen knocks, Fury's deep voice finally came through.

"Come in."

Coulson pushed the door open and stepped inside, his gaze sharp and cold. "What are you doing, sir? Throwing one of your best agents out like trash?"

His raised voice echoed through the room.

Fury didn't show any anger—or even irritation.

He simply looked at Coulson calmly. "If it were you, what would you have done?"

He stood up, tapping the desk with his finger. "Barton and Natasha's conflict with Tao Wen is already irreconcilable. Even if I intervened, I couldn't suppress it. Better to let it end here."

"But Tao Wen has done so much for S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

Coulson's voice rose again. This wasn't "letting it end"—this was exile!

"Tao indeed has done a lot," Fury replied evenly. "He's taken many burdens off my shoulders. But he only has a few days left to live. If it were you—who would you choose?"

Fury fixed him with a calm, knowing stare.

Coulson opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

He knew Fury was right. Tao Wen's time was running out.

From the perspective of the greater good, S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't keep him around.

Later…

"Rest here for now. If anything happens, call me."

After carrying Tao Wen into a hotel room, Rogers turned and left.

Still dizzy from the sedative, Tao Wen could only nod slightly, watching Rogers disappear through the door.

Anger.

A burning fury surged within Tao Wen's chest.

He had never imagined S.H.I.E.L.D. would set such a massive trap for him.

After everything he had done for them—this was his reward?

Ring ring ring.

Just as his anger reached its peak, his phone rang.

The caller was none other than Fury himself.
