Chapter 1735: Exploding Killian
This time, Killian blew up his own arms, the glare and shock wave finally interfering with Luke.
The Annihilation blade completely disappeared, and the credit-enhanced Telekinesis melted like ice cream under the hot sun. Luke was only protected by “chi” at that moment.
Luke’s sense of smell and Telekinesis were useless Inside this super hot shock wave, and he couldn’t lock onto Killian’s location.
Relying purely on his intuition as a combat expert, Luke swept his right foot out.
The tip of his foot glowed an incandescent lightbulb yellow. Although it couldn’t be seen amidst the intense white fire, this was the genuine secret Kunlun technique — Iron Fist.
Even though it was on his foot, it was still an “Iron Fist.”
The Iron Fist had a strange “breakthrough” characteristic which nullified the intense shock wave in front of Luke’s foot as he kicked out at Killian’s chest.
There was a flash, and the two people who couldn’t see each other paused at the same time before they were swept up in a super hot explosion.
Luke was sent flying 100 meters through the air before he stopped. He then spun around and pulled his right foot back.
The lenses on his mask had been destroyed by the super hot explosion. He could only look down at his entire body.
The helmet was at least 60% damaged, while the armor on his four limbs had taken the brunt of the attack and was more than 70% damaged. The armor which protected his vitals was still more than half intact.
The nanosuit that he was wearing underneath could be used to patch up the missing nanomaterial on his chest and back. His nanomask was still functioning as normal. “Be on guard, Killian probably isn’t dead yet.”
As he spoke, he tilted his head to look at Tony, who was flying up swiftly. Only then did Luke relax and look back down at the ground.
During that exchange just now, he had sensed something strange.
His kick had definitely made contact with Killian.
Sensing the burning pain in his foot, Luke acknowledged Killian’s strength.
Few people could reduce him to this sort of wretched situation in a 1v1.
However, his kick had been too powerful, and it seemed he had cut Killian in half.
Amidst loud bangs, the oil barrels were sent flying in all directions and exploded inside the oil tanker.
At that moment, it wasn’t just Luke and the others who retreated hundreds of meters; even the Extremis soldiers who weren’t afraid of high temperatures fled in all directions.
They weren’t Killian, and the Extremis virus wasn’t stable yet. If they regenerated too quickly, they might explode.
Ivan and Frank didn’t hesitate. Relying on the long-ranged advantage which their weapons had, they kept killing these small fry.
Ivan killed the soldiers in one blow with his plasma whips, while Frank blew up the soldiers’ heads with tungsten armor-piercing bullets. It was less efficient, but not any slower.
Suddenly, a bright white figure exploded out of the burning ground.
Sensing the hazy light trail left in the white figure’s wake, Luke subconsciously turned his body.
Then, there was an acute pain in his right arm – half of it was gone.
...
The broken armor was still glowing with a bright red light after it was melted off by the high temperature.
Luke didn’t care about the minor injury. He simply turned his head to look at Killian, who was like a shooting star, and muttered to himself, How can this guy be so strong? This doesn’t make sense.
Even if the Level 1 clone had weaker attributes, it was still stronger than most people in the Bat Squad.
If the clone was damaged to this extent even in the armor, it would be an instant kill for the other team members.
Thinking that, Luke landed on the ground.
He didn’t have much control over his movements when he was in the air.
As long as his feet were on the ground, he was confident he could completely dodge the attack.
Now, it was up to Killian to make a decision.
Sure enough, Killian immediately stopped after flying several hundred meters, and he turned to look at Luke again.
Clearly, Killian had already sensed how dangerous Luke was.
In fact, the kick had destroyed half his chest, and it wasn’t a matter of breaking bones.
If that leg had been aimed at his head, Killian couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t have grown a new head.
Just as Killian decided to kill Luke first, a series of blazing dots in the sky behind him grew bigger and swiftly swarmed him.
Killian heard a faint sound and subconsciously turned around. He couldn’t help but curse and abruptly descend.
They were all small missiles, and there were more than 50 of them.
He wasn’t afraid of high temperatures, but shock waves were another matter.
He might not die from the missiles, but it certainly wouldn’t feel good.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The missiles behind Killian exploded one after another, pus.h.i.+ng him toward the ground even faster.
Boom!
Killian was blasted into the ground once more.
Luke raised his head and looked at the sky helplessly. “Be careful. Your external armor might not be able to block a full frontal attack.”
In the air, Tony, who had just flown into the sky after summoning the Hulkbuster armor, said confidently, “Don’t worry, I won’t give him another chance.”
As he spoke, the shoulders on the enormous suit opened up.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Dozens of small missiles were fired at the spot where Killian had landed.
Intense fire and explosions wreaked havoc around the dock, making it impossible to see what was going on.
Luke sighed. This guy clearly wanted to get revenge. What could Luke do? Of course, he could only entertain him. In any case, he could afford it.
He flew up to Tony again.
Boom!
Tony’s unrestrained gunfire caused another explosion.
Boom! Amidst the black smoke and fire, Killian’s figure appeared again; he was as fast as a cannonball.
This time, his target was Tony.
Luke: …I knew it, you’re just going to get beaten up.
Silently cursing in his heart, he got in between Tony and Killian without hesitation. Gathering some of the Annihilation energy and “chi” in his left arm, which had just recovered, he charged at Killian.
Boom!
Luke’s left arm and the armor quickly turned red. Killian’s arms exploded, and he paused for a moment.
“Bruce!” Tony gritted his teeth and raised his left hand.
The next moment, Luke turned around and kicked Killian between the legs, creating a huge hole in his lower abdomen.
Killian, however, grinned hideously and stretched out his regenerating hands to grab Luke. “Die.”
There was a dull thud, and Killian suddenly felt his vision go dark.
The Hulkbuster’s left hand had shot out to grab him, then launched him to the ground.
Killian subconsciously unleashed his hot white flames to destroy the huge palm that was restraining him.
Only then did he realize that the palm was thick and big, and looked like a giant pincer.
For the time being, his intense white fire couldn’t destroy it.
