At this moment, Tony felt incredibly lucky. Fortunately, he had brought Wang Kai along, otherwise, he would have truly died here. He hoped they could return to America safely.
"What are you frozen for, Tony? Let's go to that dirt slope."
Wang Kai pulled the still-stunned Tony and ran towards a dirt slope. Using the thick smoke behind them as cover, Wang Kai and Tony reached the bottom of the slope.
Wang Kai punched the dirt slope, and a dent immediately appeared. Tony even felt the ground shake. He was a little stunned by Wang Kai's strength. He watched as Wang Kai punched out a dirt pit, then pushed him into it.
"Tony, hide here. Take this gun. I'll go deal with those people so we can leave."
Wang Kai had Tony hide in the shelter he had created with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. He then gave the sergeant major's gun to Tony, telling him to stay there while he went to eliminate the ambushers. Once the shielding device was destroyed, they could call for reinforcements.
"Okay, Kai, be careful."
Tony immediately said to Wang Kai. Now he knew what was most important. What Wang Kai needed to do most was to deal with the attackers.
After settling Tony, Wang Kai also let loose. His figure flashed, disappearing from the spot, and he used the Six Styles' 'Shave' to quickly rush towards the ambushers.
These guys, dressed in mismatched clothes, with turbans wrapped around their heads and AK47s spraying wildly, were the ones who ambushed Tony. They were the infamous Ten Rings gang from Asia, founded by the notorious villain the Mandarin in the comics. However, in the movie, they seemed like a terrorist organization from a mountain valley. If it weren't for Obadiah Stane's funding, they probably wouldn't have had the guts to ambush Tony. But they also had ambitions. After seeing the Jericho missile Tony demonstrated, they decisively disobeyed Obadiah Stane's order to kill Tony Stark and instead captured Tony Stark to make him produce Jericho missiles for them.
Kidō #4: Byakurai.
Wang Kai's fingers flickered randomly. Each time he pointed, a bolt of lightning shot out from his fingertip, striking the Ten Rings members who were spraying bullets. These people were just ordinary humans. Struck by lightning, they were either dead or severely injured.
After discovering Wang Kai, the Ten Rings members immediately shifted their muzzles, aiming at Wang Kai. Most of the American soldiers on the road were already dead. Now, only this sudden appearance remained. A big-bearded man shouted and yelled, ordering his subordinates to attack Wang Kai.
This must be the leader of this group, right? I'll deal with you first. Wang Kai flew in front of the big-bearded man. This big-bearded man was holding an AK47, searching for Wang Kai's whereabouts. When he found that the enemy had suddenly appeared in front of him, the big-bearded man was startled. Just as he was about to shoot, he found that the gun in his hand had already been snatched away.
Wang Kai casually threw the snatched gun away, which penetrated the body of a terrorist. Then, he grabbed the big-bearded man, pressed him to the ground, and unleashed a Tremor-Tremor force. The big-bearded man's head exploded into red and white matter, like a watermelon hit by a sledgehammer. Wang Kai was protected by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, so not a single drop stained him.
With the big-bearded leader dealt with, and without a commander, the surrounding people began to panic a little. Wang Kai had already seen a machine behind the big-bearded man with an antenna on it. That should be the shielding device. Without a word, Wang Kai used Kidō #4: Byakurai, turning the machine into a fireball.
On the other side, after the shielding device was destroyed, Tony found that his phone had signal again, so he immediately contacted Rhode, asking him to come and rescue him. Rhode was also extremely anxious after learning that Tony had been ambushed. He immediately reported the situation to the American general here. The American military base was in chaos. Helicopters immediately took off with soldiers. Tony Stark's safety had to be guaranteed.
Wang Kai's figure weaved through the battlefield, killing the ambushing Ten Rings members one by one. It was a pity that Wang Kai did not find the bald man's presence.
He was the main target. Finding him would allow them to interrogate the mastermind.
Because of Wang Kai's rampage, the remaining Ten Rings members were already scared out of their wits. They no longer attacked Wang Kai but fled one after another. Wang Kai did not pursue them. These people could not be completely eliminated. It was better to leave them to the American military to handle.
He went back and found Tony. The two of them waited for support in this low-lying area. Soon, several helicopters flew in from the horizon. Arriving at the battlefield, the soldiers quickly rappelled down. Leading the charge was the fully armed Rhode. Rhode breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Tony and Wang Kai.
While in the air, Rhode had seen the tragic state of the battlefield below. The several military vehicles on the road were already destroyed, which proved the enemy's powerful firepower. Rhode could not guarantee whether Tony was safe at this moment.
Fortunately, seeing Tony and Wang Kai completely unharmed, Rhode finally put his heart at ease. Tony and Wang Kai's clothes were a little messy, but they had no other injuries.
"Hey, Tony, do you still want to ride in your happy jeep? Kai, I'm glad to see you guys are okay."
Rhode saw that Wang Kai and Tony were both fine and dared to say some playful words.
"It's good to see you. If it weren't for Kai, I might have met you in heaven."
Tony's tense nerves finally relaxed. His finger had been on the trigger the whole time. As long as anyone who appeared in his line of sight wasn't Wang Kai, he would shoot.
"Kai? I really didn't expect Kai to come this time to protect you. Thank you, Kai. Do you know who these people are?"
Rhode was stunned. He had thought that the escorting soldiers had fought to the death to protect Tony. He didn't expect that it was Wang Kai who protected Tony. This made Rhode a little curious, proving that Wang Kai didn't just come to accompany Tony to sell weapons. Wang Kai must be a superpower, following and protecting Tony.
"I don't know. They seem like local armed insurgents. As for clues, you'll need to find them yourselves. Some of them escaped, and I didn't chase them, but the high-end weapons they used were all from Stark Industries. I think Tony should investigate this thoroughly."
Wang Kai said. Even if Wang Kai hadn't said this first point, Tony had already decided to investigate. He was almost blown up by the weapons he developed himself. How ridiculous would that sound if word got out?
"Rhode, I need to return to America immediately. There's a problem with Stark Industries, and I need to find out what it is right away."
Tony said. He couldn't stay here. It was full of danger. He had to return to America immediately and find out what was going on. Tony was a good person, but not a pushover who wouldn't fight back.
