During the events of ''[[Infinity (comic book)|Infinity]]'', Shang-Chi and the Avengers join the Galactic Council to fight against the Builders and their crusade against all life in the universe. When several allies were captured by the enemy, Shang forms a rescue team with the [[Black Widow (Natasha Romanova)|Black Widow]], [[Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew)|Spider-Woman]] and [[Eden Fesi|Manifold]]. Wielding a pair of energy projecting gauntlets, Shang's timely intervention prevented his friends from being vaporized by an Aleph. After the Builders' defeat, the Avengers return to Earth with their new Galactic Council allies to face off against an even bigger threat back home – [[Thanos]]. Shang is sent along with the Black Widow and Manifold the infiltrate the Peak and shut down Thanos' first line of defense; however, the team is intercepted by the [[Black Dwarf (comics)|Black Dwarf]] and his guards. As Manifold returned to grab reinforcements, Shang and Natasha managed to defeat the entire security force, save the general who proved to be too much for even the Master of Kung Fu. The combined might of [[Gladiator (Kallark)|Gladiator]], [[Ronan the Accuser]] and other Council members eventually made short work of the Black Dwarf and allows Shang and the infiltration team to complete their mission.<ref>{{cite book|last1= Hickman|first1=Jonathan|last2=Cheung|first2= Jim|last3= Opena|first3= Jerome|title= Infinity|publisher= Marvel Comics|date= 2014|location= New York City|pages= 632|isbn= 978-0785184225}}</ref>

With the threat of both the Builders and Thanos thwarted, Shang-Chi is sent to [[Madripoor]] along with the [[Black Widow (Natasha Romanova)|Black Widow]], the [[Falcon (comics)|Falcon]], and [[Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]] to stop a full-scale riot that has broken throughout out the island nation. Shang-Chi infiltrates a temple housed by the [[The Hand (comics)|Hand]] but is too late to stop the Hand's new leader, the [[Gorgon (Tomi Shishido)|Gorgon]], from completing a ritual which raises the island out of the water up upon the head of a massive [[dragon]].<ref>{{cite comic|writer= Hickman, Jonathan; [[Nick Spencer|Spencer, Nick]]|penciller= Caselli, Stefano|inker= Caselli, Stefano|title= Avengers World|issue= #1|date= March 2014}}</ref> When the dragon begins to take flight, Shang-Chi quickly takes out all of the present Hand ninjas at the temple and challenges the Gorgon.

After capturing [[Crossbones (comics)|Crossbones]] for a mission, Shang-Chi is informed by Captain America about his former lover Leiko Wu's murder at the hands of [[Razor Fist]] while working undercover for MI-6 in one of London's [[Triad (organized crime)|triad]]s. Shang-Chi travels to London for Leiko's funeral and while wondering around [[Chinatown, London|Chinatown]], he is attacked by unknown assailants, one whom reveals that the crime lord the [[White Dragon (comics)#White Dragon II|White Dragon]] was behind the murder. Shang-Chi is approached by triad clan leader and former enemy Skull-Crusher who offers him a truce; Chao Sima alleges he and Leiko became lovers while she was working undercover and had planned to defect from MI-6 for him. With help from Skull-Crusher and the newly arrived [[Daughters of the Dragon]] and the [[Sons of the Tiger]], Shang-Chi confirms that Razor Fist was hired by the White Dragon to kill Leiko due to her involvement with his rival Skull-Crusher and discovers that the White Dragon has access to Mao Shan Pai, a powerful Chinese black magic. Shang-Chi and Skull-Crusher infiltrate the White Dragon's estate, where they discover a room displaying the severed heads of missing triad leaders. The two of them fight the White Dragon but are captured by Shang-Chi's brother, Midnight Sun, who reveals himself to be the true mastermind behind the White Dragon. With the Mao Shan Pai spellbook taken by the White Dragon's men, [[Midnight Sun (character)|M'Nai]] plans to use its magic to give him power and influence over the triad clans, finally fulfilling Zheng Zu's legacy. Needing the heads of the clan leaders in order to complete the ritual, Midnight Sun beheads the White Dragon and Skull-Crusher and proceeds to cast the spell. Instead of giving him power, the spell resurrects Leiko from Chao's spilled blood. Since Skull-Crusher made her the leader of his clan before her death, Chao's death violated the ritual and resurrected Leiko to punish Midnight Sun. Shang-Chi is able to knock out Midnight Sun during their fight while Leiko brutally maims Razor Fist. Leiko uses her newfound powers to summon the dead spirits of Skull-Crusher, the White Dragon and the other dead triad leaders, who drag Midnight Sun into their realm. When Leiko attempts to execute Razor Fist, Shang-Chi pleads with his former lover to stop; while he is able to get Leiko to spare Razor Fist, he is unable to bring her back to her normal self. Black Jack Tarr (now director of MI-6) and his men raid the estate; Razor Fist and the White Dragon's men are arrested while Leiko escapes. Before leaving London, Shang-Chi leaves a photo of him and Leiko at her grave, which is later taken by Leiko after he leaves.<ref>{{cite comic|writer= Benson, Mike|penciller= Tan, Eng Huat |inker= Yeung, Craig|story= The Place of No Mind|title= Deadly Hands of Kung Fu|volume= 2|issue= #1|date= July 2014}}<br>{{cite comic|writer= Benson, Mike|penciller= Tan, Eng Huat|inker= Yeung, Craig|story= No More Warnings|title= Deadly Hands of Kung Fu|volume= 2|issue= #2|date= August 2014}}<br>{{cite comic|writer= Benson, Mike|penciller= Tan, Eng Huat|inker= Yeung, Craig|story= Blood Brother|title= Deadly Hands of Kung Fu|volume= 2|issue= #3|date= September 2014}}<br>{{cite comic|writer= Benson, Mike|penciller= Tan, Eng Huat|inker= Yeung, Craig|story= Out of the Past|title= Deadly Hands of Kung Fu|volume= 2|issue= #4|date= October 2014}}</ref>
