A Dagger Suppresses the Iron Monger Armor
Obadiah frowned and struck out with another backhanded grab.
Luo Wen remained calm. He bent low, his scalp brushing against Obadiah's arm as he dodged the grab.
"What?"
Obadiah's eyes widened in disbelief.
The Iron Monger Armor had the functions of an Arc Reactor. It possessed immense strength and speed far beyond that of an ordinary human—so why had he missed?
Enraged, Obadiah swung both arms at once, smashing them down at Luo Wen like a long-armed ape.
Yet the corners of Luo Wen's lips curved into a smile.
Sure enough, too slow!
Bracing both hands against the Iron Monger Armor's mechanical arms, Luo Wen twisted and flipped directly behind its right side.
As he descended through the air, the dagger in his hand shot out like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, stabbing fiercely into the Iron Monger Armor's neck.
"Clang!"
Sparks flew everywhere. A long gash instantly appeared on the Iron Monger Armor's steel neck guard, extending all the way to its helmet.
Inside the Iron Monger Armor, Obadiah was terrified out of his wits.
A cold flash had nearly grazed his neck just now. Fortunately, his armor's neck guard had been designed broad and thick—otherwise, he would already be dead!
Cold sweat drenched Obadiah.
Overcome with fear, Obadiah swiftly turned and swept behind him, afraid Luo Wen would slash him again.
After steadying himself, Luo Wen arched backward and dodged another sweeping strike from Obadiah. During the dodge, he slashed his dagger at the Iron Monger Armor's elbow.
Both the Iron Monger Armor's upper and lower arms were covered in thick armor plating. Only the mechanical rod at the elbow was exposed.
Luo Wen's A5 Dagger instantly severed the mechanical rod in the Iron Monger Armor's left arm.
By the time Obadiah had fully turned around, he discovered that the Iron Monger Armor's left arm was already out of control, hanging limply at its side.
"Dammit! You cunning rat!"
Obadiah roared in rage, his voice tinged with fear.
Then he quickly leaped backward.
The Iron Monger Armor had tremendous power, and with the assistance of the thrusters on its back, that single leap carried him more than twenty meters away.
Luo Wen's eyes narrowed. How could he not understand Obadiah's intentions?
He was trying to widen the distance and mow him down with firearms.
Luo Wen immediately closed in.
He was still flesh and blood. If he took a burst of bullets head-on, he would undoubtedly die.
Luo Wen's speed was no slower than Obadiah's.
The moment Obadiah landed, Luo Wen's figure was already right in front of him.
He was so fast that he left afterimages behind.
Like a cheetah running at full speed!
"My God!"
Watching the unbelievable scene unfold not far away, Hill, Pepper, and the two remaining agents all stared wide-eyed in stunned disbelief.
Only six or seven seconds had passed since Obadiah and Luo Wen began fighting.
Yet the shock they felt was immense!
Luo Wen was actually suppressing the Iron Monger Armor all by himself?
This was Iron Man Armor!
How could Luo Wen's movements be so agile, his speed so fast?
He looked even stronger than Hawkeye and Black Widow!
In Hill's and the two agents' eyes, what Luo Wen had just done would have been difficult even for Hawkeye and Black Widow to pull off.
Ignoring Hill and the others' shock, Luo Wen had already darted in front of Obadiah and viciously slashed his dagger at Obadiah's other arm.
Better to break one finger than injure ten.
The Iron Monger Armor had already lost one forearm. As long as its other arm was crippled as well, it would lose most of its combat power and be unable to cause any more trouble.
Obadiah had just raised his arm and deployed the machine gun hidden inside, intending to spray Luo Wen with bullets, when he saw Luo Wen charge at him with ghostlike speed.
Obadiah shuddered in fright and hurriedly tried to evade.
Even so, the Gatling Machine Gun, along with half of the Iron Monger Armor's metal palm, was sliced off by Luo Wen's dagger!
"Clang!"
The clash of metal rang out, sending showers of sparks flying.
Obadiah saw the icy indifference in Luo Wen's eyes and, in an instant, felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He finally understood why Luo Wen had stood there so arrogantly instead of running!
It turned out that he was the prey!
Looking at the dagger in Luo Wen's hand, its cold gleam spilling in every direction, Obadiah no longer dared to underestimate him.
His Iron Monger Armor was made of Level 2 Kroll Alloy, but before that dagger, it was like paper. If this close-quarters fight continued, he would die without even a burial place!
After suppressing the arrogance in his heart, Obadiah immediately leaped up. Flames burst from beneath his feet as he shot into the sky!
Luo Wen raised an arm to shield his face, preventing the flames from scorching his eyes.
When he looked up again, Obadiah had already flown into the air.
Hovering dozens of meters overhead, Obadiah wanted to strafe Luo Wen with his machine gun again, only to discover awkwardly that his left arm was out of control and the Gatling barrels on his right arm had been severed.
"Damn it!"
Obadiah cursed under his breath, then a vicious glint flashed through his eyes.
"Buzz!"
Something shifted at the left shoulder on Obadiah's back, and a small missile popped out. A red beam shot from it, aiming at Luo Wen.
"Die!"
As the red beam swept over Luo Wen, Obadiah revealed a savage grin.
His missile had infrared locking capabilities. Once Luo Wen was locked onto, he was dead for sure!
Luo Wen had already been on guard the moment Obadiah took flight.
Having lost the chance for close combat, there was simply nothing he could do to Obadiah.
So the instant he realized Obadiah intended to attack from range, Luo Wen had already started moving.
Luo Wen's speed had now reached 9 meters per second.
When he ran at full speed, he was as fast as a gust of wind!
"What?"
Watching Luo Wen sprint away in an S-shaped pattern, the expression on Obadiah's face froze.
He was too fast. The infrared system simply could not lock onto him.
"Luo Wen!"
When Hill saw Obadiah take flight and aim a miniature missile at Luo Wen, her heart immediately rose to her throat.
In her anxiety, Hill dialed Fury's number.
As he ran, Luo Wen looked back at Obadiah in the air, his gaze cold.
Martial Artists truly had little recourse against airborne enemies. If only he were a Spiritual Master.
Unable to lock onto Luo Wen for so long, Obadiah was filled with hatred. He decided to fire a missile based on prediction—if it hit, great; if not, he would leave.
However, just as he was about to fire, a gold-and-red figure suddenly shot out of the ruins and rammed him into the air. The missile was knocked off course as well, flying into the sky.
"Tony!"
Seeing the gold-and-red figure, Pepper was both shocked and delighted. Just moments ago, she had thought Tony had been smashed to death by Obadiah.
"Damn it, only 17 percent energy remaining!"
After flying into the air and grabbing Obadiah, Tony became somewhat anxious. This old Arc Reactor had not been replenished with Palladium Element, and it did not have much energy left.
"Good thing Luo Wen gave me a batch of Level 3 Kroll Alloy. Otherwise, I probably would've been smashed to death just now!"
Tony shook his still-dizzy head in relief.
Earlier, he had carelessly been grabbed by Obadiah and slammed into the ground more than a dozen times, then thrown into the hall, leaving him completely disoriented. He had only just managed to recover.
