I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 481 [Two Chapters Combined] You Can Always Trust Your Dad

All of this happened too fast.

From the moment the little snake sensed the disturbance behind it to the bull warrior bursting through the wall and instantly killing it, it only took two or three breaths.

When the little snake heard the noise and turned around abruptly, it saw the burly figure of the bull warrior slowly straightening up from the smoke and dust, the mess at his feet, and the dissipating black mist.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which quickly turned into approval, and she nodded to the Bull Warrior.

Prior to this, the little snake, whom the Bull Warrior had never met, didn't quite understand because it had been injected with the Super Soldier Serum...

When Jackie Chan called District 13 to tell the Bull Warriors that they wanted to join the operation, why did Riley agree without hesitation?

But looking at it now...

The little snake was starting to suspect that the super soldier serum it had been injected with might be a counterfeit product!

That overwhelming power, unleashed purely from the physical body, was far beyond her understanding of the realm of "human" power.

In contrast, the Bull Warrior simply patted himself casually, his arms still covered in wall dust and lingering black mist. His gaze beneath the mask remained as steady as a rock, as if the earth-shattering blow he had just delivered was merely a casual swat away of an annoying fly.

Of course, as his guardian, his primary responsibility remains to protect Paco.

So after eliminating this lurking threat, he immediately retreated back to his room door, like the most loyal and reliable guard, keeping all dangers at bay.

One less enemy in the corridor.

The remaining few dark green ninja soldiers were quickly eliminated one by one by Alexei, Little Snake, and Jackie Chan in a joint attack.

Alexei's power was absolute dominance; all the ninja soldiers' attacks were rendered useless in his presence.

The little snake compensated for the slight difference in strength with its agility and its modified special pistol. In a one-on-one confrontation, it could easily eliminate these ninja soldiers enhanced by demonic energy.

As for Jackie Chan, he didn't even bother acting anymore. He made the most of his environment and seized every opportunity. Even an ordinary broom, in his hands, could be wielded with incredible power, as if it were some hidden divine weapon!

Although the three were not very skilled at teamwork, they relied on their exceptional individual abilities to exert overwhelming pressure on the ninja soldiers.

Rasu stared in disbelief at the performance, then recalled how he had used all his strength to throw Jackie Chan away, indirectly causing the loss of two ninja soldiers...

He suddenly realized that the enhanced physical body he had gained through the painful process of modification didn't seem so powerful after all...

These guys are all superhuman!

His gaze once again involuntarily drifted towards the empty dormitory room door.

Since Jackie Chan and his crew are so strong, they can easily deal with even Shendu's enhanced henchmen...

If we ask them for help now, perhaps we can really free Valon from Shendu's control...?

A tiny, almost imperceptible spark of hope flickered in the depths of his heart, frozen by despair.

He opened his mouth, his throat was a little dry, and his gaze shifted between Jackie Chan, Little Snake, and Alexei, pondering how to start the conversation.

However, during this brief lull in the fighting, as everyone relaxed slightly, and as Rasu struggled internally—

Another anomaly has occurred!

The shadows that had not yet completely dissipated in the corridor, as well as the shadows cast by the broken walls, the corners of the furniture, and even the lamplight itself, surged violently again like boiling asphalt!

This time, the number of dark green ninja soldiers that emerged far exceeded that of before, with dozens at a glance!

Instead of attacking all at once, they quickly dispersed, occupying key positions such as both ends of the corridor, corners of the ceiling, and doorways of each room, forming a tight encirclement that completely surrounded Jackie Chan, Little Snake, Bull Warrior, Alexei, and Rasul. Their crimson eyes flashed with a cold light, and their weapons were poised to strike, yet they remained still.

What's even more disheartening is...

Two ninja soldiers, like ghosts, slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Among them, a middle-aged man wearing Tibetan pajamas was being held hostage, his face filled with terror, his mouth stuffed with a rag, and he was struggling and making "whimpering" noises.

He is the owner of this "Warm Breath in the Snow" B&B!

The shop owner was clearly being dragged out of his room by ninja soldiers while he was asleep. He was terrified, his face ashen, and his eyes were filled with pleading as he looked at Jackie Chan and the others.

Seeing that the other side had taken hostages, everyone froze instantly.

Jackie Chan and Little Snake exchanged a glance, their brows furrowed.

Alexei scanned the entire area, using Justis's algorithm to assess the risks and success rate of a forced breakthrough to rescue the person.

The bull warrior clenched his fists, but his body, which was blocking Paco's path, did not move an inch.

Paco, who was in the room, saw this scene through the crack in the door and was so frightened that he covered his mouth.

Rasu's heart sank to the bottom once again with the changes that had just occurred.

The tiny spark of hope that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished by this cruel reality.

Using innocent people as hostages is such a despicable tactic!

But... it must be admitted that this move was indeed the most effective way to deal with Jackie Chan and his group, who had extremely high moral standards.

Just then, the door to the dormitory room, which had been slightly ajar, was slowly pushed open.

The figure of "Valon" slowly emerged from it, his face calm and undisturbed, as if he had just woken up from a nap.

Ah Fen and Zhou followed behind him timidly, their heads down, their faces even paler than before, their eyes darting around, not daring to look at anyone in the corridor.

The Holy Lord's crimson gaze swept indifferently over the two opposing sides in the corridor—the ninja army that had the numerical advantage but only surrounded them without attacking, Jackie Chan and his group who were surrounded and hesitant to act, and Rasu who stood alone in the corner with his expression constantly changing.

Its gaze lingered on the trembling, hostage shopkeeper for less than half a second before shifting away, as if he were merely an insignificant prop.

"It seems you've all had enough rest," the Holy Lord said, his voice still cold and flat, devoid of any emotion.

It paused, its gaze falling on Rasu.

"Then, let's set off."

There were no orders for the ninja soldiers to attack, nor were any instructions given regarding the current stalemate.

It simply gave Rasu the order to follow, as if the ninja soldiers surrounding Jackie Chan and holding the shop owner hostage, and the potential conflict, were nothing more than background noise.

Rasu shuddered, raising his head to look into the Holy Lord's unfathomable crimson eyes.

There was no threat or urging, only an absolute and unquestionable control.

He glanced again at the shop owner, who was nearly fainting from fright as a ninja soldier's blade was pressed against his neck, and then at Jackie Chan and Little Snake, whose brows were furrowed and who were clearly thinking rapidly about how to break the deadlock.

The fleeting thought of calling for help that had just arisen was utterly crushed in that instant.

He cannot take the risk.

If he shows any sign of siding with Jackie Chan at this moment, the shop owner may be killed instantly, and Ah Fen and Zhou may also suffer.

more importantly……

How will the boss of Valon do?

He dared not think.

Despair overwhelmed him once again, like a cold tide.

That tiny spark of hope was extinguished before it even had a chance to truly ignite.

He lowered his head, avoiding Jackie Chan's complex gaze, and a bitter, almost distorted smile appeared on his lips.

Then, following the path deliberately cleared by the ninja soldiers, he silently walked step by step toward the Holy Lord and stood beside A-Fen and Zhou. He reverted to being the submissive "tool" at the Holy Lord's beck and call.

The Holy Lord said no more, turned around, and walked towards the stairs. Afen, Zhou, and Lasu followed silently, like three dogs chained by invisible chains.

"Wait!" Jackie Chan couldn't help but take a step forward, but the ninja soldiers around him, who were watching him intently, immediately made a threatening low hissing sound, and the blade that was blocking the shopkeeper's blade moved even closer. The shopkeeper let out a suppressed groan of pain.

The Holy Lord stopped at the top of the stairs without turning around, simply saying, "You're lucky. I have more important things to do, so I won't play with you anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, he and the three members of the Black Hand Gang disappeared down the stairs.

In the corridor, only Jackie Chan and his group, surrounded by a large number of ninja soldiers, and the hostages whose lives were hanging by a thread remained.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

A direct assault would surely kill the shop owner.

But if we do nothing, we can only watch helplessly as the Holy Lord departs.

At this stalemate—

"Demons and monsters, leave! Demons and monsters, leave! Demons and monsters, leave—!"

The door to Dad's room was suddenly opened.

The next second, the old man strode out, holding the anciently prepared dried pufferfish in one hand and a test tube containing green liquid in the other, muttering to himself.

Clearly, the old man had heard the commotion long ago, but the reason he hadn't shown up was because he was busy in his room preparing a ki magic potion to deal with the ninja soldiers.

As the old man chanted the incantation, a strange, invisible yet clearly perceptible fluctuation suddenly spread out from the old man's center!

The fluctuations were not aggressive energy shocks, but rather a high-frequency, pure "purification" field.

The pervasive smell of sulfur and the chilling, malevolent aura in the air dissipated as quickly as morning mist meeting the blazing sun.

The dark green ninja soldiers all hissed in unison the instant the wave passed by, a sound that was extremely subtle yet full of "pain"!

The eerie light on their scales flickered wildly and erratically, their scarlet eyes pulsated violently, and their forms became unstable, constantly distorting and blurring like a poorly positioned television screen!

They tried to maintain their form and attacked their father to stop him from continuing to cast spells.

But under the suppression of their father's qi magic, their struggles were destined to be futile.

Their dark green bodies quickly faded and decomposed, turning into wisps of lifeless gray smoke, and then completely dissipated into the air.

Not only the ninja soldiers surrounding Jackie Chan and his group, but also the two who were holding the shop owner hostage were not spared.

Under the shopkeeper's horrified gaze, they also twisted and dissipated, and the sharp blade in his hand clattered to the ground.

In just a few seconds, all the ninja soldiers in the corridor were wiped out by the old man's air magic! Only the faint smell of ashes remained in the air, and the shop owner, still in shock, collapsed on the ground.

"Hey! Can't you guys be a little quicker?! All I want is to get a good night's sleep, why are you making such a racket!"

After dealing with the ninja soldiers, the father casually glanced around the area to make sure his nephew was unharmed before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then waved the dried pufferfish in his hand, muttering complaints to Jackie Chan.

"Jackie Chan! What are you standing there for! Go help the boss up! See if he's scared! Remember to make him tally up the losses here, and when we get back, we'll have District 13 reimburse him! Snake, check if there are any survivors! Bull Warrior, check how Paco is! Alexei... never mind, just stay there and don't break anything!"

After a series of rambling instructions, the old man skillfully directed the others, pulling them back to reality from the deep shock of witnessing his father instantly defeat the ninja soldiers.

Jackie Chan rushed forward, helped the limp shop owner to his feet, and comforted him repeatedly. Alexei and the Bull Warrior also ceased their fighting stance. They exchanged glances and unconsciously scratched their heads, both looking somewhat goofy.

"Dad, are you alright?"

After helping the shop owner to sit down against the wall, Jackie Chan turned to his father and asked him with concern.

"You're alright? Almost! Sleep deprivation is a major enemy of longevity in the elderly!"

The old man said this in a bad mood, but his eyes were very sharp.

"That evil dragon clearly has the ability to deal with us or prevent me from configuring air magic. Yet it only left these minions behind, trying to delay our actions by taking hostages... It seems, just as Riley guessed, that it also knows the whereabouts of the Panku Box and is eager to free its brothers and sisters! We must set off immediately and not give it too much time!"

"But the shop owner..."

The little snake looked at the still-shaken boss.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. He's just a little shaken. Give him some calming medicine and let him rest."

The old man took a small medicine bottle out of his cloth bag and handed it to Alexei.

"Get this sorted out, we're leaving right away! We can't afford to linger here any longer! Jackie Chan, check the signal here, see if you can get in touch with District 13? Find a way to tell Riley what's happening here and have him come over as soon as possible!"

My father's seemingly complaining nagging voice carried a reassuring sense of control.

Everyone snapped out of their daze and immediately began to act according to their father's instructions.

Reassure the shop owner, inspect the environment, and confirm that Paco is safe.

Everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner, but the expressions on everyone's faces remained tense.

Because of their father's words, they realized...

This battle, which could determine the fate of the world, has only just begun!
