Chapter 781: New Weapons Seeing these enemies, Fang Leng couldn’t help but chuckle to himself: he really was attracting too much attention. But the more enemies there were, the more exciting the fight became. Relying on his powerful superhuman physique, Fang Leng unleashed a fierce assault on them. Every punch, every strike, dealt a solid blow to this powerful army of Ultron robots. Just then, a figure streaked across the sky, leaving a trail of smoke as it flew toward the Aerospace Mothership. As the figure approached the air-space mothership, its shoulder armor opened, firing over a dozen small missiles in rapid succession to engage the enemy. This sudden intervention in the battle caught Fang Leng’s attention. “It’s… so it’s him.” Fang Leng had excellent eyesight and quickly recognized the approaching figure as Iron Man. Fang Leng also understood that with the air-space mothership under attack by Ultron, it was impossible that they would rely solely on him as their only hero. Iron Man, clad in his gold-and-red armor, flew above the deck and launched a fierce assault on the Ultron robots with the pulse cannons on his palms. “JARVIS, these enemies are tough. Boost the pulse cannon’s power,” Stark ordered from inside his suit. These Ultron mechanical soldiers were indeed no easy opponents, and Iron Man had no choice but to increase the pulse cannon’s power to deal with them. Iron Man landed beside Fang Leng and fought alongside him. “How about that, Fang Leng? I guess I made it just in time, huh?” Iron Man, Tony Stark, quipped as he fought. Fang Leng knocked out two more robots with a pair of punches and replied to Iron Man, “Yeah, pretty quick.” With the two of them fighting together, the massive army of Ultron’s robots was unable to overwhelm them. Iron Man, who had arrived a bit later, continued to vent while fighting: “So this is Ultron’s robot army? They’re actually stronger than I imagined, and their combat prowess is pretty decent. But I’m using my new suit now—the RK-16—and its overall performance is infinitely superior to my previous models. This is the perfect opportunity to put it to the test against Ultron.” “BOOM!” Iron Man’s banter during the battle proved distracting; a pocket missile struck the torso of the RK-16 suit. The violent explosion sent Iron Man flying through the air from the sheer force of the blast. Seeing Stark in danger, Fang Leng suddenly grabbed him and safely brought him back down to the ground. “Man, you caught me just in time.” Iron Man quickly thanked Fang Leng, then immediately locked onto the Super Ultron Soldier that had attacked him. Iron Man aimed his right arm at the golden-armored robot, and a small missile launcher popped out from the armor on his arm. “Whoosh!” Accompanied by a piercing whistle, a small missile shot toward the enemy. “Boom!” A massive explosion followed, and the Super Ultron Soldier was successfully destroyed, reduced to a pile of smoking metal debris. Even though they were both small, compact missiles, Iron Man’s was clearly superior. “Huh?” Iron Man suddenly noticed sparks flying from an electrical short in the control unit of his RK-16 suit. At the same time, JARVIS’s electronic voice rang out in the helmet: “Sir, the circuitry in the torso section of the armor has been damaged, and there is significant energy leakage.” The pocket missile fired by his opponent had struck Iron Man’s armor, causing significant damage to the RK-16. “Damn it, JARVIS, shut down or reduce the energy flow in the damaged areas of the torso,” Stark ordered from inside the suit. Faced with this predicament, Stark had no choice but to take this action. Although the RK-16 suit he was wearing was highly advanced, its ability to withstand damage was, after all, limited. With the situation critical, Stark had no choice but to continue attacking Ultron’s mechanical soldiers with his pulse cannons. Fang Leng’s fists proved even more devastating, and combined with his body’s momentum, he relentlessly destroyed the Ultron soldiers one after another. But with hundreds of enemies, it would be difficult to eliminate them all in a short time. “Stark, get behind me!” Fang Leng casually pulled a super quantum cannon from his spatial gauntlet. Stark knew Fang Leng must have a plan, so he quickly took cover behind him. Fang Leng swiftly activated the quantum cannon. It resembled a short rocket launcher, but its muzzle featured a semicircular, purple crystal-like energy device. “Ultron’s army, be destroyed!” The crystal emitter at the cannon’s tip flashed, unleashing an immense surge of quantum energy. The overwhelming quantum energy formed a purple beam nearly three meters thick. "Hum..." Holding the quantum cannon, Fang Leng swept it across the swarm of enemies. The Ultron robot army swept by the purple beam was obliterated as if by a whirlwind, reduced to a pile of torn and shattered debris. After attacking the surrounding enemies with the quantum cannon, he successfully destroyed over a hundred Ultron robot soldiers. However, the quantum cannon had reached its limit; the weapon emitted a piercing screech of mechanical friction, clearly on the verge of overload. Nevertheless, the surrounding Ultron robot forces had been successfully eliminated. “This thing actually works pretty well,” Fang Leng remarked, surveying the piles of debris on the deck. However, the quantum cannon in his hand was also severely damaged. Fang Leng had spent a great deal of effort researching and developing this weapon himself; the purple firing crystal at the muzzle was made from a special substance he had discovered earlier. Although the attack had destroyed a large number of enemies, it had also inflicted considerable damage on the quantum cannon. “Wow! That’s so cool, Fang Leng! How did you pull that off just now?” Iron Man Stark opened his faceplate and looked at Fang Leng with some surprise. After all, that incredibly powerful attack had left Stark utterly astonished. Although he was a military weapons expert and a genius in his own right, his expertise lay primarily in missiles and automated military machinery; when it came to energy weapons, none he had ever created had been as powerful as the one Fang Leng had just used. Seeing the astonishment on Stark’s face as he opened his facial armor, Fang Leng gave a wry smile. “Don’t be fooled by how devastating it was just now—this weapon has suffered serious damage. Plus, it drained a massive amount of stored energy. There’s absolutely no way I can use it again today.” With a thought, Fang Leng then stowed the quantum cannon back into his spatial gauntlet. Stark, in a rare display of admiration, gave Fang Leng a thumbs-up: “It’s truly impressive that you managed to create a weapon like this. From now on, when it comes to energy weapons, I’ll definitely be looking up to you, my old friend.” Iron Man Tony Stark was known for his arrogant demeanor, but the fact that he gave Fang Leng a thumbs-up meant his skill in crafting energy weapons was truly top-notch. “Hey, I’ve got other business to attend to. There are still plenty of enemies out there.” Fang Leng quickly prepared to head down to the lower decks of the aerospace mothership to continue the battle.
