Heroes of Marvel

Chapter 938: Fighting Once Again

Upon hearing Blackheart’s words, Johnny frowned but didn’t move. However, Blackheart then raised his hand and pointed it at Roxanne and Bucky, who were lying on the ground.

Buzz~

Under the influence of a strange burst of dark energy, both Roxanne and Bucky showed pained expressions on their faces and they let out muffled, painful moans. It was clear that Blackheart was using them to threaten Johnny and Lin Rui.

“Just give it to him. We’re at a point of no return now,” Lin Rui said as he slowly landed from his Hoverboard, seeing Blackheart attack Roxanne and Bucky.

“Stop! I’ll give it to you!” Seeing Roxanne’s pain, Johnny couldn’t help but shout out loud in response to Lin Rui’s words.

Huh~

“It would have been better if you had done this earlier. They wouldn’t have had to suffer as much. Don’t try any tricks and throw the contract over,” Blackheart said with a smile as he withdrew his hand.

“Here!” Johnny yelled as he pulled the Contract of San Venganza out of his arms and tossed it at Blackheart in an effort to get him to release Roxanne and Bucky sooner.

However, Johnny’s throw was too strong and the direction was not very accurate. The Contract of San Venganza flew over Blackheart’s head and landed at the rear of the ruins. Upon seeing the contract fall behind him, Blackheart ignored Roxanne and Bucky, who had collapsed on the ground, and walked towards the contract.

In Blackheart’s eyes, as long as he obtained the contract and the countless evil spirits sealed within it, he would be invincible. Ghost Rider and the young man with strange strength would be insignificant to him after he had devoured those souls.

“Roxanne!” As Blackheart walked towards the contract, Johnny rushed to Roxanne’s side.

“Johnny! I’m fine, let’s go. That guy is a devil!” Roxanne said worriedly as she stood up with Johnny’s help.

Bucky, who was lying next to Roxanne, had also gotten up by himself by this point. Bucky was in much better physical condition than Roxanne and had always been very level-headed, so he wasn’t injured. 

As he looked at Lin Rui who had also walked over, he felt that something about the young man seemed to have changed, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was.

“Are you all right?” Lin Rui asked after examining Bucky’s condition.

“I’m okay. How did you get that thing?” Bucky nodded to show that he was fine and asked as he stared at the Hoverboard behind him.

“I’ll explain it to you later. For now, let’s focus on solving the current situation,” Lin Rui said, avoiding Bucky’s question and looking at Blackheart.

Brush!

After speaking, Lin Rui pulled out a machine gun from his waist and threw it to Bucky, which he had left in the jeep earlier. Bucky quickly took hold of the gun and prepared for battle.

“Roxanne, you get out of here first. Let us deal with him!” Johnny pushed Roxanne out of the area as Lin Rui and Bucky prepared for battle.

“Johnny, be careful!” Roxanne shouted as she ran out of the ruins. It was clear to her that Johnny was not a normal person, and she wanted to make sure he was safe.

Johnny reached for the old musket that Carter Slade had given him before he left and aimed it at Blackheart, who was standing in front of him holding a contract and singing to release the seal. Johnny raised his hand and pulled the trigger, and Lin Rui followed suit. 

Boom!

Blackheart was hit in the chest by the first gunshot and was knocked back a half step, interrupting his singing. Before he could continue, the second shot was fired, hitting him again and causing him to stumble. 

Despite his injuries, Blackheart tried to maintain his grip on the contract and continue his ritual, but it was clear that he was struggling to keep going. Johnny and Lin Rui continued to shoot, determined to stop Blackheart from succeeding in releasing the seal.

Boom!

Da Da Da!

As Johnny fired the second shot, Bucky was already unleashing a barrage of machine gun fire at Blackheart. The machine gun may not have had the same power as Johnny’s musket, but it made up for it with its rapid rate of fire, allowing Bucky to shoot more than a dozen rounds in an instant. 

Johnny couldn’t match that rate of fire, but together, the two of them were able to put a significant amount of pressure on Blackheart. 

“Roar! You are seeking your own demise!” Johnny and Bucky interrupted the process of releasing the Seal, causing Blackheart, who had already been struck by numerous bullets, to bellow in frustration before pocketing the contract.

Hoo!

In the next moment, a cloud of black mist spewed forth from Blackheart as he charged toward Johnny, Bucky, and Lin Rui. It would take some time to break the bond, and with these individuals present, Blackheart would not have the opportunity to break the Seal peacefully. As a result, he had to deal with the three pesky individuals in front of him first.

!!!

“Hmph! Excellent timing!” Seeing Blackheart approaching in the form of black mist, Johnny’s eyes glinted with a cold light and he let out a low shout.

Boom!

As he shouted, hellfire erupted from Johnny’s body and he transformed into Ghost Rider. He then charged toward Blackheart, who was attacking him. This marked the first time that Ghost Rider and Blackheart had engaged in combat.

Boom!

However, as soon as they engaged in battle, Blackheart easily knocked out Johnny’s Ghost Rider form. Desperate to quickly put an end to Lin Rui and the others and to stop them from interrupting the unsealing process of the Contract of San Venganza, Blackheart was fighting with all his might at this point. Moreover, Blackheart was not afraid of Ghost Rider’s Hellfire, as it had been given to Ghost Rider by his father. How could he fear it?

“Hahaha! Ghost Rider, is that all you’ve got? This is my father’s most powerful soldier?” Blackheart, who had transformed into black mist and revealed half of his body in midair, laughed maniacally after easily knocking Johnny away with a single blow.

Da Da Da!

As Blackheart was laughing triumphantly, another round of bullets hit him. However, due to his transformation into black mist, these bullets had no effect on him and Bucky’s harassing attack only served to infuriate Blackheart.

“I should have killed you a long time ago!” Blackheart snarled cruelly as he turned to stare at Bucky, who was still firing at him. He then charged toward Bucky and Lin Rui.

Shout!

When Blackheart jumped down, Lin Rui had already stopped in front of Bucky, and at the same time, a ray of Azura light burst out from him. Then, a long sword appeared in Lin Rui’s hand, which was the Beheading Spirit Sword.

“Chop!” As Blackheart approached, Lin Rui quickly swung his right hand twice in front of him, letting out a low shout as he did so.

Buzz!

In the next moment, two crosses formed by Azura’s sword energy, one horizontal and one vertical, swiftly sliced toward Blackheart as he charged forward.

Since being irradiated by Ghost Rider’s Penance Gaze, Lin Rui seems to have become more proficient in using the internal energy within his body, and he is now able to use a variety of sword techniques.
