Yan Dongxu saw that his brother was about to unleash his powers.
He immediately took out his phone and started livestreaming.
There were a lot of misunderstandings about him online now.
He wanted to take this opportunity to explain things clearly.
"Holy crap! Why did he suddenly start streaming?"
"Is this at the hospital? Weren't they fighting over there?"
"Streamer, we've been trying our best to clear things up for you, but there are too many haters."
"We know you're not the murderer."
"Now that it's all out in the open, of course you're not the murderer!"
"In your face, haters! He's out here streaming, how could he be the murderer?"
...
"Watch while I explain things to you!"
"I was actually framed by the Death Coffin people."
"The guy down there is one of the Death Coffin's Ten Generals, Thousand-Faced Duke Chu Yuan."
"His ability is to transform into other people and copy their superpowers."
"So the me in the surveillance footage was him in disguise."
"Right now, the two Superhuman teams are battling the evil superhumans of the Death Coffin."
"My brother Zhou Quan found out I was in danger and came to help us fight."
Yan Dongxu passionately explained the current situation in just a few sentences.
"I see! I didn't know there was an evil superhuman organization."
"I've read legends about the Death Coffin on forums before, I can't believe they really exist!"
"Holy crap, your brother is so hot flying through the air with a sword!"
"He doesn't look like a superhuman, more like a cultivator!"
"Haha, you play superhumans, he plays immortals. You're not even in the same dimension!"
...
Yan Dongxu's livestream was truly an exclusive across the entire internet.
As soon as crowds of viewers heard the news, they rushed in.
Without a doubt, everyone who saw the livestream footage was shocked beyond belief.
It was a livestream that broke their preconceived notions.
It was also an era-defining livestream.
Originally, higher-ups had decided to censor the news.
They were going to impose a no-fly zone and forbid any media drones from filming.
Reporters were also prohibited from entering.
But no one expected Yan Dongxu to suddenly break through the higher-ups' blockade.
The livestreaming platforms were caught off guard in that moment, and didn't dare take any action.
Banning his stream would incur the wrath of the entire internet. Offending the entire internet would surely doom their platforms in the future.
But not banning it meant they risked punishment from higher-ups. So they immediately contacted the relevant authorities to ask what they should do.
In the end, the higher-ups compromised and told the platforms not to ban Yan Dongxu's stream.
Things that needed to be faced would have to be faced eventually.
Excessive cover-ups would only make the eventual explosion even more violent.
So they might as well face the reality, and let the people directly face the existence of superhumans.
And face what kinds of dangers superhumans could bring.
Inside the hospital.
Thousand-Faced Duke Chu Yuan had never seen a superhuman like Zhou Quan before.
So when he saw Zhou Quan, he was stunned.
He felt the terrifying power within Zhou Quan.
If he was struck by that sword, he would undoubtedly die.
Chu Yuan didn't dare underestimate him, and immediately reverted back to his original appearance to dodge the incoming slash.
Whoosh!
The sword energy sliced right over his head, directly cutting the inpatient building behind him in half.
A perfectly good building was split in two by Zhou Quan's single slash.
"This..."
Chu Yuan's face was full of shock and awe.
He didn't understand where this ruthless guy had popped out from.
There was absolutely no intel on him at all, which completely disrupted his plans.
But as one of the Death Coffin's Ten Generals, Chu Yuan did not panic.
After the initial shock, the look in his eyes transformed into endless greed.
He coveted Zhou Quan's powers.
Whoosh!
Chu Yuan's figure flashed as he closed in on Zhou Quan instead of retreating.
"Be careful! He's trying to copy your powers!"
Not far away, Zhao Xiaofei saw Chu Yuan's intentions and immediately shouted a warning.
But Chu Yuan was too fast.
By the time Zhao Xiaofei finished shouting, Chu Yuan was already flashing a triumphant smile.
Because Zhou Quan was now within his copying range.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the golden aura flowing around Chu Yuan's body, along with his inborn noble air, began to change.
It transformed to look the same as Zhou Quan, emanating an immortal energy.
"Hmph! Having fun?" Zhou Quan looked at him disdainfully and said.
The smug look on Chu Yuan's face froze for a few seconds before turning into confusion and bewilderment.
"How is this possible? You clearly possess great power, so why don't I sense any abilities?"
Chu Yuan's eyes were wide open in shock. He realized he had copied nothing.
He had no power he could use at all.
Even though he had copied the other's powers, there was nothing there.
Zhou Quan sneered coldly, "I've endured bitter cultivation for many years. If a fox spirit that possessed a melon rind like you could copy my abilities, wouldn't my cultivation have been in vain?"
"I can't be bothered to deal with your villainy, but since you tried to harm my brother, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and eliminate you!"
"Seven Star Sword Formation!"
Zhou Quan slashed out streams of light with his golden sword, condensing a stellar grand formation in midair to try and suppress Chu Yuan.
"What is this?"
Chu Yuan's eyelids twitched rapidly. He felt like he was battling an immortal.
The terrifying stellar power scorched and corroded his body.
The searing pain was unbearable. He was like a caged beast locked inside the sword formation.
"Ahhhh!"
Chu Yuan screamed madly. His skin vaporized into mist, revealing the red muscle underneath.
His skin peeled off, making his whole body look like a skinned frog.
Whoosh!
A slash of stellar sword light severed his arm.
Chu Yuan was greatly shocked internally, and once again copied Gu Bei's abilities to try and resist.
It helped a bit, slowing down the stellar corrosion.
But eventually he would still be whittled down to nothing.
"Ah!"
Chu Yuan was like a raging beast. The blood flowing over his body had already soaked the ground.
He regretted underestimating his enemy. He should have fled at the first opportunity.
"Holy crap! The Daoist is awesome!"
"This is too gory!"
"I said he's a cultivator, how can superhumans fight cultivators?"
"Is Mount Longhu still recruiting?"
"After this fight, I suddenly don't feel superpowers are that cool anymore. Momma's gonna go cultivate instead!"
"Are the Ten Generals of the Death Coffin really this useless?"
"Yan Dongxu, your brother is too ruthless. Why are you so weak?"
...
In his desperation, Chu Yuan suddenly caught sight of Zhao Xiaofei not far away.
A cunning look flashed through his eyes as he directly charged towards Zhao Xiaofei.
"Not good!"
Yan Dongxu immediately cried out anxiously when he saw this.
But there was nothing he could do to help.
Zhao Xiaofei also realized something was wrong and tried to flee.
But his position was too awkward.
Chu Yuan ran to the edge of the sword formation, and his spreading copying range happened to envelop Zhao Xiaofei.
"Hahahaha! Heaven has not forsaken me! All of you just wait for me."
Chu Yuan blasted out a fist, rippling the space in front of him.
He flashed into the distortion and disappeared within the sword formation.
"Damn it!"
Yan Dongxu silently cursed. How could they have let Chu Yuan escape like this?
The viewers were also furious, savagely flaming Zhao Xiaofei.
"Why didn't this guy get further away at the critical moment?"
"I'm so pissed off!"
"Investigate him thoroughly! He must be a mole for the Death Coffin!"
"There's definitely something suspicious about this guy!"
"Bro, have that Daoist kill the bastard!"
"Isn't this just letting the tiger return to the mountains?"
...
