Indeed, even though Thanos was furious at this moment, he still retained a shred of reason. He didn't directly use the power of the Time Stone to stop time, but merely slowed down one of the Lantern Corps warriors.
After all, his goal was to reduce the opponent's speed so that the power of the Reality Stone could take effect on him.
Unsurprisingly, the slowed-down Lantern Corps warrior was hit by the red light from behind in the next moment. Even though he tried his best to resist, he could only last a few seconds longer than a zombie with the augmentation of the Lantern.
Finally, with a series of unwillingness, the Lantern Corps warrior was erased by Thanos with the Reality Stone, along with the five Dragon Mark Lanterns created by Bai Qi.
"This is the moment!"
If you were to ask when Zombie Thanos's vigilance was at its lowest, it would certainly be now.
After a great deal of effort, he had finally dealt with this troublesome Lantern Corps warrior. Coupled with the simultaneous use of two Infinity Stones, even if not at full power, it had still placed a great burden and pressure on Thanos's body.
Now that everything was resolved, the relaxed Thanos prepared to re-embed the Reality Stone and Time Stone in his hands into the Infinity Gauntlet.
Bai Qi, who had been waiting for a long time, would never miss such a golden opportunity. He quickly threw out two sealing spells he had prepared earlier.
The two spells hit Zombie Thanos without any surprise.
Thanos, who was about to return the two Infinity Stones to their places, was suddenly struck by the two sealing spells, and his body instantly became unable to move.
Although his body could not move, relying on his years of combat experience, he instantly pinpointed the direction of the magic and saw Bai Qi casting the spell with his peripheral vision.
Knowing that he had been ambushed, Zombie Thanos mustered all his strength to break through the seals on his body, but no matter how hard he tried, his body remained motionless.
Seeing that his own strength was not enough, Thanos set his sights on the two Infinity Stones in his hand.
Although using the power of the Infinity Stones multiple times in succession carried great risks, at this point, if he didn't use them, his troubles would likely be even greater.
Before he could use them, Bai Qi's attack came again. A basketball-sized lightning ball directly struck Thanos's arm.
The moment it touched, Thanos's right forearm was melted by the lightning ball, and his right hand, which was holding the Reality and Time Stones, dropped downwards.
"Ah!"
Just then, Zombie Thanos actually broke through the two sealing spells Bai Qi had cast on him through sheer brute force.
Thanos, who had regained his mobility, quickly reached out to grab his falling right hand.
Just as he was about to grab it, the shadow on the ground suddenly writhed, and a figure with the same silhouette as himself shot out from the shadow, catching Thanos's falling right hand first, then quickly retreating into the shadow, taking the stones and the right hand back into Bai Qi's shadow.
Everything happened so fast from when Bai Qi made his move to when his right hand was snatched by the shadow that everyone was caught off guard for a moment. By the time they reacted, the enraged Thanos was already brandishing his Tyrant's Blade with one hand and slashing at Bai Qi, with the intention of cleaving Bai Qi in two.
However, Bai Qi now faced Zombie Thanos without any fear. Without the Reality and Time Infinity Stones, half of his martial arts were useless, let alone the fact that he was missing half an arm.
Bai Qi dodged to the side with a slight sidestep, easily evading Zombie Thanos's slash.
It was the Wakandan warriors around Bai Qi who suffered. They were tossed about by the shockwave of Thanos's slash. One unlucky fellow was standing directly behind Bai Qi. Bai Qi dodged, and he became the scapegoat, directly split in two by Thanos.
"Who in the world are you!?"
Seeing that the opponent had so easily dodged his attack and appeared so nonchalant, even Thanos, however foolish, could tell that the human in front of him was not an ordinary Wakandan. Otherwise, with such a powerful hidden expert, why would he have let the minor characters die one after another?
"You ask who I am?" Bai Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you know that casually asking such things can get people killed? Oh, right, you're already dead."
With that, Bai Qi no longer hid, and revealed his true form.
Bai Qi's sudden change in appearance did not provoke much reaction from Thanos, as he had traveled far and wide for many years and had seen all sorts of strange and unusual creatures. It was the surrounding Wakandan warriors who were greatly startled by Bai Qi's revealed true form.
They didn't understand how a dragon had infiltrated their ranks, and judging by its appearance, it wasn't a proper dragon, but more like a demon dragon that ate people without spitting out bones.
Alas, this was where the misunderstanding lay.
It was fine to call Bai Qi a demon dragon, but to say he ate people without spitting out bones was truly a grave injustice.
Not only was Bai Qi human before his transmigration, but humans, in general, didn't have much flesh on them, and their bones were quite tough. Coupled with their constant gluttony and consumption of all sorts of additives, their bodies were already in a terrible state. For humans in certain regions, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their bodies contained the entire periodic table. Bai Qi would truly be out of his mind to eat people.
Returning to the present.
Thanos, whose attack had missed, did not delay at all. He spun his body sharply, swinging his Tyrant's Blade in a wide arc, generating a gust of wind, and slashed at Bai Qi with even greater speed.
Bai Qi was equally defiant, neither dodging nor parrying, but directly using his dragon claws to block the Tyrant's Blade, which could even cleave Vibranium shields. Surprisingly, he managed to block it. Then, Bai Qi unleashed even greater force, first sending the blocked Tyrant's Blade flying, then grabbing Thanos and smashing him heavily to the ground, and finally, a dragon's breath at point-blank range.
BOOM!
Scorching dragon's breath erupted from Bai Qi's mouth. After hitting the ground, it spread out in all directions. The Wakandan warriors who couldn't escape in time were instantly reduced to ashes.
Even Thanos couldn't withstand this level of high-temperature dragon's breath with his physical body. However, this guy was quite cunning.
As he was pinned to the ground by Bai Qi, he used the power of the Space Stone to quickly escape, teleporting to a plain three hundred meters east of the battlefield.
What? You might ask why Thanos didn't use the power of the Space Stone to escape further?
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but Bai Qi had anticipated this. He had set up a magic barrier around the area, which incorporated the power of the Space Stone, specifically to prevent Thanos from escaping with the Space Stone if he couldn't win.
After Thanos escaped, Bai Qi followed closely behind.
However, as soon as Bai Qi appeared and before he could even steady himself, Thanos's fist, as large as a sandbag, flew towards Bai Qi's face.
Logically speaking, Thanos's strength should not have been able to shake Bai Qi in his current state, but this time was different. This time, Thanos's fist was flashing with a purple light. With a single punch, he shattered half of Bai Qi's head.
