The Death of Iron Monger (Part Two)
Iron Monger swept away all the glass in the atrium with the machine gun on his arm, leaving Tony Stark clinging desperately to a crossbeam. It was a brutal lesson for Tony Stark, who had only just become Iron Man: once they stood on opposing sides, there was no room for mercy. Watching Iron Monger raise his left arm again, revealing a miniature missile launcher, Tony Stark closed his eyes in despair. Ironically, the miniature missile was his own invention.
"Hey, I don't want to interrupt you two, but I have to ask: couldn't your company put in an elevator that goes straight to the roof? Do you know how long I spent on the top floor looking for a way up? Just because this company's two biggest shareholders both have flying suits of armor, does that mean nobody else's convenience matters?" Xia Yu's voice rang out behind Iron Monger.
"You again, kid." Obadiah Stane turned Iron Monger around and spoke through gritted teeth when he saw Xia Yu.
Xia Yu ignored Obadiah Stane altogether and said to Tony Stark, "Tony, for the sake of your own safety, you'd better design an Iron Man Armor for me too. At the very least, it has to fly."
"Kid, I'm talking to you. You'd better look at me." Xia Yu's blatant disregard infuriated Obadiah Stane. As he spoke, he aimed Iron Monger's missile launcher at Xia Yu.
"It's very rude to interrupt someone, you turtle hiding in a clumsy shell. If I hadn't been afraid of hurting someone else just now, do you think you'd have had a chance to stand on the roof and bully your poor nephew?" As Xia Yu spoke, he shot Tony Stark a pitying glance.
Tony's face flushed red. He was just about to say something in retort when Obadiah Stane could no longer hold back and made his move.
"Die!" Obadiah Stane shouted as he fired the missile.
What Xia Yu feared now was a powerful long-range attack. If Iron Monger took to the air and bombarded him with modern weapons, he would still have to flee for his life. But on the ground, especially at close range, a bulky suit of heavy armor like this was practically a live target for Xia Yu.
With a few evasive steps using Lingbo Weibu, Xia Yu arrived in front of Iron Monger. He flipped his right hand, and the Heaven Reliant Sword appeared in it out of thin air. Xia Yu began circling Iron Monger at high speed, using the Heaven Reliant Sword to slash apart the armor's joints, wiring, weapons, and more, one strike after another. The reinforced steel used in Iron Monger was like wood against a kitchen knife when matched against the Heaven Reliant Sword, except that the wood was a little thick. Metal shavings flew everywhere, and Xia Yu worked as effortlessly as if he were pruning a plant.
No matter how powerful a weapon was, it was useless if it couldn't hit its target. Soon, Iron Monger's armor was pitted all over, with sparking wires exposed in many places. Obadiah Stane couldn't keep up with Xia Yu's speed at all. By the time he reacted, Xia Yu had already stopped, and Iron Monger was completely unable to move, reduced to a piece of junk.
Xia Yu shrugged apologetically at Iron Monger and said, "I saw the Mark I's blueprints at Tony's place. I might not know how to build one, but I can take one apart. Sorry about that, Mr. Stane."
"Oh, right. You can't get out now, can you? Let me help you." A fierce glint appeared in Xia Yu's eyes as he walked toward Iron Monger, the Heaven Reliant Sword in hand.
"No, Xia, wait..." Tony Stark shouted, having just climbed out of the atrium area. There had been no other way in the movie, but now, watching Xia Yu kill Stane right before his eyes was a little more than he could bear.
Xia Yu ignored Tony Stark and thrust his sword through Iron Monger's heavy armor into Obadiah Stane.
"Mission complete. Congratulations, Master, you have received 8,000 Points and one system lottery draw." Tmall's voice sounded in his mind.
