Chapter 278. Reappearance (Part2)

The moment the missiles were launched, Peter's spider-senses immediately warned him. Without hesitation, Spider-Man pressed the web shooters in his hand and launched a thin and tough spider thread. Like a gymnast, skillfully avoiding the miniature missiles.

The huge explosion caused by the missiles hitting the tall building made Peter instinctively dodge to the side. When he looked up again, he saw that the new Green Goblin, who had just been fighting him, was already controlling his hoverboard and flying towards another direction.

"Wait a minute!"

Although it was unclear why the other party was trying to escape, as a superhero, Spider-Man couldn't let the Green Goblin escape from his grasp.

Therefore, without much hesitation, he immediately launched his thread and chased after the direction where the Green Goblin flew.

...

"Has it been confirmed?"

With a thud, Fury stood up from his seat and looked at the SHIELD agent in front of him. His only intact eye flashed with a sharp glint, and he couldn't help but ask.

"It has been confirmed."

Nodding, the SHIELD agent continued to report, "We've basically confirmed that the one who appeared is Ip Man himself."

"..."

Silent for a few seconds after receiving the information from the SHIELD agent, Fury then calmly gave orders, "Notify Romanoff, tell her that there is a new mission, and also..."

As he spoke, Fury paused.

The reappearance of Ip Man in New York was completely different from before, and according to the information revealed by the [Drunken Sword Immortal] on the SHIEL's Helicarrier, the item Ip Man stole from Peng Lai was very important. Although it was still unknown what kind of existence the Heavenly Demon was, based on the power of the Peng Lai immortals, this could lead to an extremely dangerous encounter.

Even a lack of belief could easily result in something as dangerous as the previous Chitauri invasion

....

Chinatown, the Wing Chun school.

Ip Man, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, appeared outside the school once again.

He still looked elegant, without any change.

Raising his hand, he pushed open the tightly closed door of the academy. Ip Man looked at the wooden dummy inside the academy. Everything was exactly the same as when he left, without any changes.

"Master Ip."

From the shadows of the school, Natasha walked out with a faint smile on her face, "We meet again."

"Yes, we meet again."

Turning his head to look at Natasha who appeared in the school, Ip Man's expression remained unchanged, still refined.

"What brings you back this time, Master Ip?"

Looking at Ip Man in front of her, Natasha seemed completely unaware of his betrayal to Penglai, and even pretended to be surprised when she asked, "You left quietly before, but caused us at SHIELD to search around. Even the Director scolded me."

"Sorry, it was sudden and I had to leave."

Facing Natasha's complaints, Ip Man smiled and apologized.

"So, since Master Ip has returned, does that mean the matter that made you leave has been resolved?"

Asking seemingly innocently with a doubtful expression on her face, Natasha was actually on high alert inside.

"Indeed, it's all been resolved."

Nodding, Ip Man didn't deny it. He turned to face Natasha and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. He spoke lightly, as if it were nothing, "You already learned about it from the Drunken Sword Immortal, haven't you?"

Ip Man's expression remained dignified, but in Natasha's eyes, at that moment, it was clearly different. She withdrew the smile on her face and looked at Ip Man seriously, "Did I give it away?"

"No." Shaking his head, Ip Man honestly replied, "Your performance was very genuine. You truly are a super-agent of SHIELD."

"However, you obviously forgot that the Avengers have already been introduced to the world through the news, and they even showed the image of the immortal from Peng Lai, who was chasing after me."

"So it was because of the news?"

Natasha couldn't help but let out a bitter smile at Ip Man's response. She had considered many possibilities, but never expected that she was exposed because of the news on TV.

Obviously, because she had a blind spot about Peng Lai. She never expected that even the mysterious Ip Man from Peng Lai would watch TV.

In fact, even without TV, as a clone, Ip Man knew everything that was said by the [Drunk Sword Immortal].

Removing her guise, Natasha took a step back, distancing herself from Ip Man. She spoke in a deep voice, "So, Master Ip, can you tell me why you came to New York again?"

"If I said I just wanted to visit the martial arts school, would you believe me?"

Ip Man responded casually, despite Natasha's guarded demeanor.

"What do you think?"

Natasha raised an eyebrow and asked back.

"We got information from the Drunken Sword Immortal, that I stole the item that sealed the Heavenly Demon from Peng Lai." Natasha's gaze fixed on Ip Man as she asked, "Can you tell me, Master Ip, why did you do that? Why did you choose to betray Peng Lai? I don't think that you would be easily persuaded by a few words from Sky Emperor alone, making you do something that dangerous."

As the person who had the most contact with Ip Man within SHILED, Natasha clearly understood him to a certain extent.

Ip Man's expression remained silent in the face of Natasha's questioning. His sophisticated demeanor gradually disappeared as he lowered his head and said, "Natasha, have you ever experienced envy?"

"Envy?"

Natasha's expression changed.

"Yes, envy." Ip Man said, ignoring Natasha's reaction. "In Peng Lai, immortals and martial artists are completely different existences. The former freely roams the sky, and with every move, they have the power to destroy heaven and earth. The latter can only work hard every day to train their bodies and practice martial arts. Even if they exhaust their lives, they still wouldn't be able to achieve the same power of a light punch from an immortal."

"At first, when I learned that there were immortal techniques in Penglai, I was very excited, thinking that I had found a direction for advancing in martial arts. In order to become an immortal, I studied diligently under Master Roshi, striving to master the Turtle Style, which was closest to the martial path. But no matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't obtain it. Although 'immortal' and 'mortal' seem to differ by just one syllable, for the vast majority of people in Peng Lai, it is indeed an insurmountable barrier that separates us from the immortals."
