Hearing jade question, the old man face twisted slightly.
The old man looked at the sky filled with lightning, the clouds covering the entire sky, and took a deep breath.
Is this also called magic?
If it weren't for the strange energy emanating from the air that the old man could sense magic in, he would never believe that this was magic.
After all, the Qi magic that the old man learned was entirely different from what was happening right now.
"Let not talk idle talk anymore."
Sheriff Blake face was tense. "Since this is Shazam and Constantine signal, it time for us to act. We can't miss this opportunity."
"Right."
Coulson nodded, looking towards Hill.
Hill, through the communicator, issued orders to all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
"All agents, the time is now, move out immediately!"
"Understood!"
The agents responded in unison.
The next moment.
One by one, the shells were fiercely fired, and under the spurts of flame from the muzzles, they shot up like meteors, descending from the sky and drawing perfect parabolas, smashing onto the castle walls.
Boom!
Flames soared, and stone chips flew.
The shattered stones, mixed with Hydra members behind the walls, howled as they fell from the castle, crashing into the forest, their fate unknown.
At this moment, however, no one cared about these unlucky ones.
Everyone eyes were locked on the enemy.
The battle began.
The clash between Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D., stimulated by the lightning-filled sky, ushered in the climax.
Meanwhile, District 13 and others exchanged glances, found a breach made by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and swarmed through it.
Jackie Chan and others, carrying jade, rushed into the interior of the castle.
The Ghost Rider, Johnny, transformed instantly, his skeletal figure clad in leather, emitting blue flames, giving him an especially mysterious look.
Under the old man tutelage in Qi magic, Johnny had stabilized the mind that had been affected by the spirit of vengeance at this moment, he was truly the Ghost Rider, Johnny.
His motorcycle transformed into various forms, and his ghostly chains whistled out, like red-hot whips of flame, sweeping all enemies in their path.
"I can feel a strong demonic aura inside the castle."
Johnny spoke slowly, the frequency of the blue flames burning in his hollow eyes underscoring his gravity.
"Me too."
The old man nodded. "Daolong is also inside, not just him, but also his modified subordinates from Walong."
"They must be clashing with Constantine and Shazam right now."
Johnny spoke, making a decision. "Constantine and Shazam are holding off the enemies for us.
Old man, you need to find Daolong quickly and stop him from summoning more demons. We'll come to help you soon."
"Okay."
The old man nodded, signaling to his disciple, "Tru, follow me."
"Wait, I'm coming too."
jade shouted.
"You can't leave my side, jade!"
Jackie Chan pulled jade back.
On the other side.
Gan, Wen, Cui, Shan, the four demons, recognized Constantine, the man who had sent them to prison.
Thus, they worked even harder.
"This time, I'm going to lock you up and let you taste what it like to eat prison food."
Afou, who had transformed into a dark assassin, Shan, had a ferocious look on his face, his fists glowing with a blue light, running from his elbows to his fists, with demonic energy vibrating, his strength extraordinary.
He charged towards Constantine.
Constantine remained unflustered, looking at Shazam beside him.
"He yours."
Shazam shrugged, raised his hand, and released lightning, repelling Afou, who had become a dark assassin.
At that moment.
Zhou, A'fen, and Lazu, who had transformed into the other three dark assassins, Gan, Wen, Cui, also swarmed forward.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The three rushed toward Constantine, who had just retreated.
Constantine still looked unflustered, looking at Shazam who had just repelled Shan, and reminded, "They're yours too."
"Oh?"
Shazam turned his head, ignoring the three charging at him, and quipped, "And what are you going to do?"
"I'm off to handle Daolong and the demons he summoned," Constantine replied calmly.
"You know, fighting has never been my forte."
As he spoke, Gan, Wen, and Cui approached Constantine.
Then, to their astonishment, Constantine suddenly produced a golden spray gun from nowhere.
The spray gun emitted a shot filled with pellets enhanced with a special ingredient.
The bullet-like steel pellets struck Gan, Wen, and Cui, instantly blasting them away and slamming them into the corridor end wall, creating three deep indentations, nearly penetrating it.
Meanwhile, Shan, who had just dealt with the lightning, heard Constantine comment and glanced at his flung comrades, speechless for a moment.
Is this what you call not being good at fighting?
You're not good at fighting, but you're good at shooting, right?
This thought crossed Shan mind.
Then, Constantine took a few steps back and disappeared from his sight.
Shan pondered for a moment, not rushing to follow. Instead, he stared with a grave expression at Shazam standing before him.
"Thunder Shazam..."
Shan expression was serious, recognizing the identity of the man before him.
He had watched the movies, after all.
Hydra had provided them with all the data on the Justice League.
Especially the latest updates about the Justice League.
The release of "Thunder Shazam" was a big event for DC fans worldwide.
Including the enemies who constantly monitored the Justice League movements, none would miss such an event.
Thus, it wasn't surprising that Gan, Wen, Cui, and Shan, four dark assassins transformed by Daolong, had a certain understanding of Shazam.
However, the establishment of the Dark Justice League was the lesser-known part.
Of course, in the eyes of Gan, Wen, Cui, Shan, and others like Hydra, even if they knew the truth about the Dark Justice League splitting from the Justice League, they wouldn't consider the Dark Justice League an independent hero team operating separately from the Justice League.
"What do we do?"
"It tricky!"
"Let do it!"
"Under the protection of magic, we are immortal!"
After a brief exchange, the four solidified their intention to confront Shazam.
Moreover, the magic and abilities bestowed upon them by Daolong gave them ample confidence.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
All four charged at Shazam, their weapons aimed to strike.
A returning shuriken, a war hammer, a three-section staff, and a fist with a lightning effect surrounded Shazam.
The returning shuriken released smoke, causing Shazam to lose his bearings, unable to discern the attacks he faced.
The war hammer, wrapped in flames, raised the surrounding temperature continuously.
The flames, as if from hell, seemed to burn souls themselves, with a profoundly terrifying effect.
The three-section staff was enveloped in a splash of water, seemingly containing lethal poison, rippling with indescribably beautiful light waves.
Lastly, the fist with the lightning effect was self-explanatory.
Seeing this, Shazam simply closed his eyes and slightly raised his hand.
"Has he given up?"
"Be careful, these superheroes don't give up as easily as you think."
True to those words.
Boom!!
An unprecedented lightning storm swept through the entire corridor, even causing the entire castle to tremble.
The weapons of the dark assassins, including Shan who approached Shazam intending to defeat him with his fist, were all enveloped by the storm.
Zzzzzzz!
The sound of electricity pierced the entire castle, causing countless people to panic.
"What going on?"
"Is this another one of Shazam powers?"
"This is too cool!"
Jackie Chan and others looked dumbfounded, cautiously observing the walls around them and the ceiling above, fearing that the castle might collapse under such terrifying force.
At that time, few could escape such a disaster.
Only jade looked thrilled.
She didn't care about the castle possibly collapsing instead, she felt that Shazam truly deserved to be her admired superhero and a member of the Justice League alongside others like Batman.
The dark assassins, Gan, Wen, Cui, and Shan, were instantly reduced to a cloud of black smoke under the tremors of the lightning storm and then drifted back to where Daolong was.
Meanwhile, Shazam ceased releasing his lightning energy, looking at the suddenly appearing ninjas around him, realizing the identity of these newly emerged foes.
"Shadow Legion."
He frowned slightly, "Trouble."
Whoosh!
The next moment, swarms of the Shadow Legion leapt up, instantly filling his entire field of vision.
Zzzz!
Lightning burst forth once again.
The Shadow Legion was scattered, but new Shadow Legion ninjas continually emerged from the dark corners at the end of the corridor.
Deep inside the castle, Constantine, through shared memories, learned from Shazam mind about the situation Shazam was facing.
He knew he had to hurry.
Not far ahead was the part of the castle where the demonic energy was most concentrated.
Clearly, Daolong, as well as the demons he summoned, were up ahead.
Constantine expression grew serious.
Suddenly.
He slowed his pace, looking at the white-haired figure that appeared in front of him, and the densely packed Shadow Legion surrounding him, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Really not giving me any chance, huh?"
Constantine looked at the white-haired figure standing behind the Shadow Legion. "Daolong, what kind of demon have you actually summoned?"
"I like to keep my secrets for the dead."
Daolong expression remained calm.
He then waved his hand, directing the Shadow Legion.
"Kill him!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The dense forces of the Shadow Legion in the shadows charged at Constantine.
Ting, ting, ting!
A barrage of darts rained down like raindrops.
Constantine dodged and, holding a golden spray gun, fired pellets that killed the attacking Shadow Legion ninjas.
Soon.
Jackie Chan and others crossed the castle and arrived at the area.
They immediately spotted Daolong and the Shadow Legion, including Constantine who was being besieged by the Shadow Legion.
"It you!"
Daolong, seeing the old man, was instantly furious.
"Daolong, your end has come!"
The old man retorted defiantly.
He pulled out a dried gecko he carried with him, and his disciple, Tru, pulled out a dried pufferfish, chanting a spell.
"Spirits and demons, leave this place!"
"Spirits and demons, leave this place!"
As a burst of demonic energy was released, the Shadow Legion was pushed back by the power of the spell.
Constantine was thus able to free up his hands.
"Now leave it to me!"
jade took out a talisman from her backpack. The explosive power of the Dragon Talisman unleashed a burst of energy, fiercely striking at Daolong not far away.
"Hmm?"
Daolong dodged the blast, his eyes gleaming.
"A talisman!"
This was the power he had long coveted.
"Hahaha!"
Daolong laughed heartily. "I should thank you for bringing the talisman here. Stay today, I'll treat you well."
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
The dark assassins, Gan, Wen, Cui, and Shan, reappeared in front of Constantine.
However, Constantine wasn't surprised.
These four guys were bolstered by Daolong magic, making them difficult to kill.
Even if they were dealt a fatal blow, they were merely reduced to a state of demonic energy.
As long as the demonic energy was plentiful, Daolong could restore them to their pre-injury state at any time.
"Jackie Chan!"
The four reappeared, once again facing their nemesis.
After exchanging glances.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Without needing Daolong command, the four immediately attacked, charging at Jackie Chan and the others.
"Hmph!"
At that moment, the Ghost Rider, Johnny, unleashed his power.
Blue flames burst forth, enveloping the entire area.
However, the flames deliberately avoided Jackie Chan and his companions, engulfing Daolong and Gan, Wen, Cui, and Shan.
The four instantly felt the scorching burn of hellfire.
"Damn it!"
"It so hot!"
The four exclaimed in horror.
"Hmph!"
Daolong grunted, his demonic energy quivering, extinguishing the hellfire summoned by Johnny with his powerful demonic aura.
"You're so concerned about other things, perhaps you should consider your own situation."
He hadn't noticed, however, that Constantine had quietly approached.
Pulling the trigger.
A shot from the golden spray gun thundered towards Daolong.
The sound of metal clashing echoed.
In front of Daolong, there appeared to be a transparent membrane that blocked the spray gun force.
"Is that a magic barrier?"
Constantine was somewhat surprised, as Daolong demonstrated an ability beyond his expectations.
"John Constantine, leave that bastard Daolong to me you go deal with the demons inside."
The old man spoke up.
Constantine glanced back and then rushed towards the area behind Daolong.
Seeing this, Daolong didn't rush to stop him but instead sneered at the old man, coldly saying, "Today is the day we settle our scores, you old thing!"
"Oh?"
Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out.
The sound of tearing through the air resonated.
A man flew swiftly from the end of the corridor.
He was dressed in a tight-fitting suit reminiscent of Superman, except the color of the cape, the gold trim on the cuffs of his sleeves and feet, and the lightning emblem on his chest, marked him as distinct.
"Shazam!"
jade exclaimed in awe, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
"Hello, jade."
Shazam turned his head to look at the little one, greeted her, then looked at Daolong in front of him and laughed,
"You can't just ignore me, after all, I was the one who sent the first signal."
