Blade

After arriving at the expo, Tony suddenly descended, flying from mid-air to just over two meters above the ground. Tony, with a group of armors, flew straight towards Blake.

The dense bullets behind him made Blake instinctively cover his head. The attack density was so high that Blake couldn't even open his eyes.

As Tony whizzed past overhead, Blake could only reach out and grab an armor, slamming it hard to the ground.

"Damn, wrong one!"

Blake looked at the armor on the ground, which was still extending its arm and shooting at him. With a shake of his right hand, the Tang sword was directly inserted into the armor's arc reactor, and the armor immediately shut down.

"Can you aim a bit better?"

"I don't have a defense mask, let's try again!"

While the two were crazily complaining, Tony quickly turned around and charged towards Blake again.

This time, Blake didn't disappoint Tony. As Tony's armor flew overhead, Blake made a big leap and tackled Rhodey's armor.

To prevent Rhodey's armor from acting up, Blake directly inserted the Tang sword into Rhodey's arc reactor.

With a "crack," the outer layer of ordinary metal alloy was easily pierced. However, the inner gold-titanium alloy firmly resisted the blade of the Tang sword.

"Looks like I need to earn some points quickly to upgrade my weapon!"

Blake muttered to himself, then punched the hilt with all his might.

"Poof!" The Tang sword penetrated more than ten centimeters. The blade almost reached Rhodey's T-shirt, nearly disemboweling him.

Fortunately, the arc reactor area only had a thin layer of gold-titanium alloy. If it were any other part, Blake wouldn't have been able to punch through so easily.

Luckily, this thin layer of gold-titanium alloy prevented Blake from accidentally killing Rhodey.

"Blake, Rhodey, how are you? Problem solved?"

"No problem, just almost got stabbed to death by Blake!"

Rhodey looked at the blade near his chest, even breathing carefully, afraid that any force might stab him.

"You two better lie down and watch the stars for a while, don't stand up!"

As soon as Tony finished speaking, he circled a few times in mid-air and landed not far from the two.

When the armors behind him landed, Tony stretched out his arms and turned around.

Two red laser beams quickly spun around twice, and the surrounding armors were neatly cut into three sections by the lasers.

Following the path of the laser, Blake saw that even the trees a hundred meters away were cut into three sections.

"This move is really good, can't it last a bit longer?" Blake sighed.

"No way, that's how ultimate moves are. If they could be used casually, they wouldn't be called ultimate moves." Tony shrugged.

"Hey, can you pull this sword out first? The big villain hasn't even appeared yet." Rhodey said gloomily, lying on the ground.

"Alright!"

Blake stepped on Rhodey's chest and, amidst the screeching sound of metal being cut, slowly pulled the Tang sword out of his chest.

"Is it over? Tony! Are you all okay? Is Rhodey alright?"

Pepper, dressed in a white professional suit, suddenly appeared, with Black Widow by her side.

"Pepper? Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay at the company?" Tony asked in confusion.

"You didn't tell me you were here as bait today. I thought it was a normal expo. When things went wrong and armors were flying everywhere, of course, I had to come and check! Wait, are you blaming me?"

"You told her?" Tony looked at Black Widow.

"Can someone help me take off this armor?"

Rhodey interjected at the right moment, but no one paid attention to him.

"In this situation, what could I hide? Besides, she was already on the scene!"

Black Widow spread her hands, indicating her innocence.

"Tony, don't shift the blame to others. God, can you inform me in advance next time you make a decision? I don't want to sit in the office like an idiot, watching TV to find out what's happening!" Pepper said forcefully.

"I didn't want you to worry, Pepper. You know it's dangerous!"

"Hey! I need to get up!" Rhodey's voice was ignored again.

Tony and Pepper were arguing, while Blake and Black Widow watched the commotion nearby, leaving no one to pay attention to him.

"Oh! That's a great reason. To prevent me from worrying, I ended up worrying so much that I couldn't sit still in the office and ran here. So next time... what's that sound?"

A sharp whistling sound came from the sky.

"Ivan Vanko is here, you guys should..."

"Rat-a-tat-tat!!"

Before Tony could finish his sentence, the armors in mid-air started shooting at the ground.

Blake quickly moved to shield the two of them!

"You guys go first!"

Without waiting for their response, Blake grabbed them both under his arms and leaped over a hundred meters away before putting them down.

"Stay safe and run as far as you can!"

Exchanging a glance with Black Widow, they gave each other a cautious look, and Blake returned to the battlefield.

As expected, Tony, having used his ultimate move, was no match for Ivan Vanko.

Here, Ivan Vanko's armor was even more formidable than in the movie.

His chest and shoulders simultaneously used three arc reactors.

It seemed one provided power, while the other two supplied energy to the whips in his armor.

After all, his nickname was Whiplash, and using whips was his specialty.

When Blake returned, Tony's neck and feet were tightly bound by two whips.

The violent energy on the whips crackled and flashed, causing Tony's armor to crack inch by inch.

"To deal with you, I specifically sacrificed the mobility of my armor. If you had run away earlier, I wouldn't have had a good way to stop you. What a pity..."

It's known that the energy output of an arc reactor is extremely exaggerated. Using three arc reactors simultaneously posed a significant challenge to the armor's output circuits.

It's like a Gatling gun, where the extreme rate of fire requires six different barrels to rotate and shoot. Even then, after a few minutes of continuous firing, it needs to stop to cool down.

The design of the armor was even more complicated. Adding two more reactors made the output circuits more than twice as complex.

Blake certainly didn't understand these details as well as Tony. Seeing Tony being slowly pulled towards Ivan Vanko, Blake jumped up and stabbed the Tang sword fiercely at Ivan Vanko's neck.
