"I said, stop!"
As Raven finished speaking word by word, a black magic light wave shot directly at Bai Qi.
"Truly ignorant."
Raven's magical attack was indeed not weak; it could easily kill a demon, but Bai Qi was no demon, let alone in Raven's mental world.
Logically, this was Raven's mental world, and Raven should have the advantage. But in reality, the tug-of-war with the three-palace demon had consumed too much of Raven's energy. Coupled with Bai Qi's enhancement from the two Infinity Stones, his mental power was incredibly strong, far beyond what Raven could handle at this moment.
As it was, facing Raven's attack, Bai Qi didn't even bother to block. He watched as the magic light wave hit him and then dissipated.
Seeing that her attack caused no damage, Raven showed no signs of stopping and instead attacked more ferociously. However, even with increased frequency, she still couldn't harm Bai Qi in the slightest.
Yet, facing this repetitive assault, Bai Qi was somewhat displeased. He frowned and waved his hand at Raven. The next moment, Raven, who was about to attack, was sent flying back a hundred meters as if she had been hit by a large truck.
Immediately after, Bai Qi flicked his finger back, and Raven, who had just managed to steady herself, was again pulled back by a powerful suction force, landing in front of Bai Qi.
Raven wanted to resist, but her entire body was encased in telekinetic energy, rendering her immobile.
"Who gave you the false impression that I'm easy to talk to? Disobedient children must be severely punished."
As he spoke, Bai Qi clenched his five fingers, and the telekinetic energy enveloping Raven began to slowly compress inward. Accompanied by the creaking sound of bones, Raven let out a cry of pain, and at the same time, her physical body in the real world also cried out in agony.
At this moment, Clark had already climbed out of the rubble. Seeing Bai Qi with one hand on Raven's head, their eyes glowing, and Raven still screaming in pain.
Having witnessed the Martian Manhunter attack mentally and read opponents' memories, Clark knew that Raven was currently being attacked mentally by the other party in some form.
Even though Clark had lost his world-shattering superpowers, as Superman, he still couldn't stand by and watch his comrade suffer. Even if he knew that intervening might draw the other party's wrath upon himself.
But even knowing this, Clark showed no intention of stopping. He picked up a chair leg from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and then walked behind Bai Qi, swinging it towards the back of Bai Qi's head.
*Bang!*
As if! Bai Qi wasn't a primary school student. How could he enter Raven's mental space without preparation and leave his physical body behind, especially with Clark standing outside with an unclear relationship?
As Clark's chair leg swung down, the Dragon Patterned Ring on his finger automatically activated. The shield formed by the ring's energy not only blocked Clark's attack but also sent him crashing back into the rubble.
Did you think that was all?
Of course not!
Bai Qi had many defensive measures. It was just that due to Bai Qi's powerful defense, these measures were usually not needed. But now, Bai Qi's spirit was in Raven's mental world, and Clark was attacking Bai Qi's physical body from the outside. Even if no damage was inflicted, these defensive measures still recognized Clark as an enemy and automatically activated their defensive mechanisms.
First, four fist-sized eyeballs flew out from Bai Qi's body. After a scan, they confirmed that Clark was the one attacking Bai Qi's physical body and immediately took action. Purple energy gathered in the center of the eyeballs, and then they shot towards Clark's head.
Fortunately, Clark reacted quickly. The purple laser shot past the side of his head. If he had hesitated for even a second, the Clark without his steel body would have been pierced through the head by the laser.
The four eyeballs continuously generated lasers, attacking Clark.
Clark did consider fighting back, but given the hardness of the eyeballs, his chair leg was certainly no match for them. Helpless, he could only continue to dodge, seek cover, and engage in a tug-of-war with the constantly attacking eyeballs.
However, he didn't know that the four eyeballs were merely the lowest-level among Bai Qi's many defensive measures.
When the eyeballs couldn't finish off the attacker, the second defensive mechanism activated. The shadow beneath Bai Qi began to writhe, and then, a black man slowly rose from the shadow. This black man's facial features were indistinguishable, but his build and face shape were identical to Clark's.
This was Bai Qi's Shadow Warrior. It had no fixed form and usually resided in the host's shadow. During combat, it manifested from the shadow. It could not only replicate the opponent 100% but also replicate the host to fight against enemies.
The predecessor of the Shadow Warrior was the Black Shadow that Bai Qi fought against in the Super God world with Atto. However, at that time, the Black Shadow was an accidental product. When Morgana asked Bai Qi for it, Bai Qi brushed her off by saying it was the only one and couldn't be replicated.
In fact, Bai Qi hadn't lied to Morgana. At Bai Qi's level at the time, he truly couldn't replicate the Black Shadow. However, as Bai Qi grew stronger and his knowledge reserve increased, replicating the Black Shadow was no longer impossible.
Thus, Bai Qi not only successfully replicated the Black Shadow but also modified and upgraded it, resulting in the current Shadow Warrior.
The one in Bai Qi's shadow was the most powerful among the many Shadow Warriors. Moreover, it usually resided in Bai Qi's shadow. As Bai Qi absorbed various energies to grow stronger, this fellow could also get some leftovers.
Don't underestimate these leftovers. After all, the leftovers Bai Qi mentioned were no ordinary leftovers: stellar energy, Infinity Stone energy, magma energy, and so on.
Of course, there was an upper limit to this replication. For example, the Shadow Warrior couldn't replicate Bai Qi himself. Even if it did, it would just be an empty shell with the appearance of Bai Qi.
However, it was more than capable of dealing with other people, thus becoming Bai Qi's second defensive mechanism.
As the four eyeballs couldn't end the battle for a long time, the Shadow Warrior automatically appeared, accelerating the attacker's demise.
Under the coordinated attack of the Shadow Warrior and the eyeballs, Clark had no chance of resisting. In just a few exchanges, he was captured by the Shadow Warrior and pinned to the ground.
Then, the Shadow Warrior conjured a samurai sword in its hand, placed one foot on Superman's back, gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and slowly raised it above its head. It looked as if it was about to decapitate the former Son of God.
"Stop!"
At the critical moment, Bai Qi's voice rang out.
Upon hearing Bai Qi's command, the Shadow Warrior was very obedient. It stopped with the blade just a few centimeters from Clark's neck.
