“Whew~”
Inhale.
Exhale.
The air gathered around him, flowing in and out of his mouth and nose like a long dragon of mist.
The temperature in the surrounding area rapidly rose, so much so that even the restaurant’s central air conditioning couldn’t suppress it.
The change was far too obvious.
The seven agents’ expressions changed drastically.
Their bodies tensed, and they prepared to open fire at any moment.
Coulson’s expression also changed as he shouted, “Mr.
Leon Veyron, don’t do anything rash!
If you make a move now, there’ll be no turning back!”
“My conviction has never wavered, so there is no reason for me to hesitate!”
Leon Veyron looked at him with unwavering determination.
A long stream of mist continued to swirl around his mouth and nose, while the air around his body had already begun to distort from the intense heat.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that once I decide something is right, I’ll do it without hesitation.”
As Leon spoke, his left leg stepped forward slightly.
His body shifted to the right.
Both hands formed an imaginary grip and moved in front of his right shoulder.
Then, the Sun-Blade appeared out of thin air.
He immediately gripped it with both hands, resting the back of the blade against his shoulder as he assumed a stance ready to strike.
Leon’s pitch-black eyes were covered by a layer of golden light.
They burned like the sun.
His gaze was blazing as he stared at Coulson.
“Let me ask one last time.”
“Do you really intend to arrest me?”
“Gulp!”
Coulson swallowed.
His expression became extremely ugly.
He knew things had gotten serious.
This had been a test.
They were testing Leon’s attitude toward the law by observing how he reacted when faced with arrest.
If Leon cooperated, it would prove that although he possessed supernatural powers, he still respected the law and posed no threat to society.
He could potentially become an ally they could recruit.
If he resisted arrest, then they would determine the level of danger he posed based on the extent of his resistance and decide how to deal with him accordingly.
Coulson had imagined Leon obediently going with them.
He had imagined Leon becoming dissatisfied and cursing them.
He had even imagined Leon simply running away.
But he had never imagined that Leon wouldn’t flee or curse them.
Instead, he would confront them head-on.
However, at this moment, Coulson represented S.H.I.E.L.D.
He represented the law.
If he backed down now, the authority of the law would be undermined.
He was already in a situation where he couldn’t back down.
He swallowed against his dry throat and pleaded,
“Leon, don’t do this!”
“You started this.”
“Don’t make it sound like I’m the one forcing you into this situation!”
Leon’s voice was cold.
“Leon, this isn’t worth it!”
Tony had finally realized what was happening and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
“I guarantee that nothing will happen to you.”
“Please, don’t make a move!”
Leon glanced at him and gave a faint, cold laugh.
“Not necessary.”
“Whew~”
Coulson took a deep breath.
His mind was made up.
He stared at Leon with a resolute expression.
“Arrest him!”
As soon as the order was given, the seven agents raised their guns and cautiously advanced.
“So that’s how it is.”
A trace of disappointment flashed through Leon’s eyes.
He slowly closed his eyes.
Then he opened them again.
A terrifying gaze burst forth, sending chills through everyone who saw it.
Coulson and the seven agents all froze for a brief instant.
And in that fleeting moment—
Leon moved.
“Sun Breathing: Eleventh Form—Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance!”
A blazing dragon of fire twisted and danced along the edge of the blade.
It weaved through the crowd before ultimately returning to the blade itself.
Tony, standing farther behind, only saw Leon’s figure flash and disappear.
Accompanied by a scorching wave of heat, Leon suddenly appeared behind Coulson.
An explosive wave of heat erupted outward like a blast, generating a powerful shockwave that sent the nearby tables, Coulson, and the other agents flying.
“You’ve got to be kidding me!?”
Tony’s eyes widened.
The speed alone was so fast that the human eye could barely react.
But the fact that someone could use a cold weapon to create an explosive effect comparable to a miniature missile warhead was enough to make anyone question reality.
Even the spectators watching from a distance were completely stunned.
[Ding!
You obtained 0.01 Wish Points!]
[Ding!
You obtained 0.01 Wish Points!]
[Ding!
You obtained 0.01 Wish Points!]
[Ding!
You obtained 10 Wish Points!]
[Ding!
You obtained 200 Wish Points!]
[Ding!
You obtained 700 Wish Points!]
Hearing the notifications inside his mind, Leon’s expression remained completely unchanged.
He calmly stood up.
With a casual flick of his right hand, the blade vanished into thin air.
Such a cool and effortless display immediately triggered another wave of astonishment.
A long string of notifications followed in his mind.
“Don’t force me!”
Leon coldly looked at Coulson, who was lying on the ground clutching the sword wound across his chest.
“You can put out a warrant for my arrest.”
“You can even send the police or military to capture me.”
“But if you really do that, then I’ll have no choice but to live like a genuine fugitive.”
After saying this, he gave Coulson one final glance before turning around and leaving.
“Let’s go, Tony.”
“I’ll take you to see the doctor.”
“Oh, oh!
Coming.”
As he watched the two leave, Coulson struggled to sit up.
Suppressing his pain, he took out his phone and called Fury.
“Fury, things have gotten a little…
bad.”
…
The two traveled to the doctor’s location in Tony’s car.
Along the way, Tony finally asked,
“How did you make a cold weapon produce an effect like a firearm?”
“What?
You want to learn?”
“No.
I’m just a little curious.”
“Oh, that?”
“It involves quantum mechanics.
It’s difficult to explain properly with words.”
“If you don’t want to tell me, forget it.”
“I wasn’t that interested anyway…”
Tony paused.
“Alright, I have to admit it.”
“You looked pretty damn cool just now.”
“Although you’re still nowhere near my Iron Man armor, if you wanted to use that trick to pick up women, you could probably attract a few shallow ones.”
“I have something even cooler.”
“Want to learn?”
“You’re willing to teach me this?”
“One hundred million.”
“You really are willing to teach me?”
Tony stared at Leon with a serious expression, his eyes widening.
Something this powerful and completely unscientific…
Wasn’t it supposed to be a secret technique that couldn’t be passed down?
That was how it always worked in novels.
“I’m only responsible for teaching you.”
“Whether you can actually learn it is your problem.”
“I knew it wouldn’t be that simple.”
Tony pursed his lips with an expression that said, I knew it.
Leon simply smiled without explaining.
Not everyone could adapt to Breathing Techniques.
A sufficiently powerful physique was required to withstand them.
When the Demon Slayer Corps trained its members, they subjected them to rigorous physical and mental training.
Only after meeting the necessary requirements would they proceed to teach them Breathing Techniques.
And Sun Breathing was even more demanding.
Even among the Demon Slayer Corps members who used Breathing Techniques, only a tiny number of people were capable of learning it.
And even those who mastered it couldn’t unleash the same level of power as the creator of Sun Breathing, Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
No.
Forget reaching Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s level.
Almost every user of Sun Breathing possessed a different level of power.
Therefore, when Leon said whether Tony could “learn it,” he didn’t mean that he would intentionally hold back during his teaching.
He meant whether Tony actually possessed the talent required to master it.
If Tony truly possessed an extraordinary talent for it, Leon would gladly teach him even without payment.
After all, Sun Breathing had also come from the system.
If someone learned Sun Breathing and used it to attract attention and generate reactions, Leon would receive Wish Points from it as well.
At this moment, the car pulled over to the side of the road.
Tony’s driver, Happy, pointed toward an alley beside the road.
“Boss, we’ll have to walk from here.”
“Alright.”
Tony looked toward the alley.
“Let me go see this famous doctor who’s hiding out in a place like this.”
