Chapter 37:
Facing Tony's provocation, Aldrich Killian laughed in extreme anger.
"You think you can beat me with this pile of scrap metal?"
As he spoke, Aldrich Killian casually blocked a repulsor beam coming from behind.
Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, Tony no longer wasted time. He charged toward Aldrich Killian while the other armors, under Jarvis's control, circled around the two of them, looking for opportunities to strike.
Faced with Tony's almost barbaric and unreasonable fighting style, Aldrich Killian had no choice but to meet him head-on while defending himself.
As he fought, Aldrich Killian scanned the surrounding armors to prevent being ambushed.
Suddenly, Tony spun around and flew into the air. Then the engines behind his feet roared, and he dove straight down toward Aldrich Killian.
Seeing this, Aldrich Killian quickly dodged while casually picking up a piece of steel rebar from the ground and smashing it toward Tony.
"Clang!"
A crisp impact rang out. Tony spun and leaped over Aldrich Killian's head.
Aldrich Killian looked up and saw that Tony had already landed behind one of the robot armors.
"Damn it!"
Aldrich Killian cursed. At the same time, he quickly adjusted his angle and moved to another spot.
Tony aimed at Aldrich Killian's movement angle and raised his palm repulsor to fire.
Seeing this, Aldrich Killian immediately crouched and rolled to dodge the attack.
Before Aldrich Killian could stand up, Tony had already blasted toward him.
"Tony, let go of me!"
Aldrich Killian struggled, trying to break free from Tony's restraint.
Tony grabbed Aldrich Killian's arms and forcefully pried them outward. Aldrich Killian felt a burst of pain but still refused to release his grip.
Tony wasn't annoyed. He continued to pry Aldrich Killian's arms apart with force.
"Ah!"
The temperature on Aldrich Killian's body surface was rising at a visible speed.
The sea breeze at night blowing across Aldrich Killian's body instantly turned into steam.
Feeling the change in Aldrich Killian, even Tony, who was hiding behind the Iron Man armor, immediately sensed something was wrong.
In the next moment, Aldrich Killian stood up while enduring the pressure from Tony's armor.
Then Tony saw Aldrich Killian throw a punch at him.
Tony immediately dodged, but Aldrich Killian pursued relentlessly, throwing several heavy punches in succession. Tony could only keep dodging.
Finally, Tony found an opportunity.
Tony suddenly pushed Aldrich Killian to the side and quickly created distance.
"You think you've won?" Tony said as he raised his arm and aimed at the armor on his own chest, pressing down.
The next second, a dazzling white light instantly illuminated the entire night sky.
Seeing the sudden explosion, Aldrich Killian was also caught off guard. He hadn't expected Tony to have such a move.
Tony, who had ejected from the armor, looked at Aldrich Killian, who remained completely unharmed after the explosion, and his pupils shrank.
At this moment, under the enhancement of the Extremis virus, unless Aldrich Killian was completely erased in one strike, no matter what physical attack he suffered, he could rely on the regenerative properties of the Extremis virus to infinitely repair his body.
Faced with such a difficult situation, Tony felt a trace of regret for having been too cocky just now.
"Huff!"
Aldrich Killian stood up, seemingly unscathed, and Tony felt a headache coming on. This wouldn't work if it continued.
With that thought, Tony immediately charged toward Aldrich Killian.
Seeing this, Aldrich Killian immediately took a defensive stance.
After completely locking Aldrich Killian down, Tony had Jarvis put another Iron Man armor on Aldrich Killian as well.
No matter how Aldrich Killian struggled inside the armor, the Iron Man armor remained completely motionless.
"Bang!"
Tony snapped his fingers, and the armor on Aldrich Killian exploded violently.
The flames from the armor explosion instantly engulfed Aldrich Killian.
Seeing this, Tony leaped and landed on Aldrich Killian's back.
Aldrich Killian desperately tried to escape forward while frantically slapping the flames on his body with his right hand.
But his palm couldn't withstand the power of the explosion. In just a few seconds, his already red-hot palm was scalded, emitting white smoke and constantly heating up.
However, under the intense pain, Aldrich Killian ultimately couldn't endure it.
After a flash of white light, Tony casually inserted the Patriot missile from inside the Iron Man armor into Aldrich Killian's heart, then raised his palm repulsor and detonated it!
Under the successive devastating blows, the regeneration speed of the Extremis virus in Aldrich Killian's body finally couldn't keep up with the speed of destruction. In the end, Aldrich Killian's body collapsed and disintegrated in the explosion.
