"Don't do this. You're all heroes. I really don't want to hurt you."
Du Mu's tone was heavy, his face marked by reluctance.
However, Luke Cage completely ignored his words, charging forward first like a rampaging bull!
Bang!!
Du Mu dodged Luke Cage's charge, and as the hero turned, he delivered a powerful left front kick squarely to his chest.
The kick was delivered with full force. Luke Cage was sent flying backward, smashing straight through the restaurant wall and leaving a distinct, large '太' shaped hole in it.
Truly worthy of the Black heritage. Everyone else usually leaves a '大' shaped hole.
At the same time, Matt charged forward as well, the twin batons in his hands turning into blurs, darting like a sudden storm toward the vital points around Du Mu's body!
Compared to the fake staff-master Fandral, Matt's stick fighting was clearly much stronger. The frequency was at least ten-plus strikes per second; he'd definitely qualify as a self-defense force captain.
Du Mu dodged a few times before losing patience and delivering a precise punch to the shaft of one baton, snapping it into two pieces.
"Wake up, Attorney Matt! We're on the same side. Think about our past experiences!"
Du Mu attempted to use their bond to awaken Matt.
A flicker of struggle appeared on Matt's face. He seemed to recall the numerous encounters he had shared with Du Mu... and then he struck even harder!
Du Mu: "..."
Since their past friendship couldn't awaken Matt, Du Mu saw no need to be polite.
He grabbed Attorney Matt's arm, and a powerful current instantly surged from his fingertips!
Matt immediately began to tremble violently.
Perhaps stimulated by the intense current, Matt actually regained a sliver of lucidity, temporarily breaking free from Kilgrave's mind control.
Joy flashed in his heart, and he quickly yelled: "Stop! I've reco-reco-reco-reco—"
Before he could finish, the current suddenly intensified for some reason.
After emitting a brief auto-tuned scream, Matt collapsed stiffly onto the ground, wisps of white smoke rising from his body.
Du Mu scratched his head: "Did Attorney Matt just say something? Never mind, probably not important."
Just then, Jessica Jones had silently snuck behind Du Mu and clamped him in a tight bear hug!
Du Mu's face showed shock. He hadn't expected Jessica's stealth skill to be so high; he hadn't even noticed her behind him and had no defense prepared.
But soon, he became even more shocked.
What is so hard? Did you stuff steel plates into your chest?
Du Mu had originally intended to fake a struggle, but the steel plate was genuinely uncomfortable. He allowed Jessica to hold him, then leaped into the air, leaning back to use gravity and his weight to slam Jessica violently toward the ground!
Bang!!
Jessica's back of the head made intimate contact with the floor, instantly shattering the tiles. Her locked arms involuntarily loosened their grip.
Du Mu had just gotten to his feet when he saw Luke Cage emerge from the hole in the wall, immediately launching his Bull Rush attack again without a word.
Does this guy only have one button on his skill bar?
Du Mu couldn't help but complain.
He grabbed Jessica's ankle and, using her as a human weapon, swung her at the charging Luke Cage!
Thwack!
Accompanied by the sound of impact, Jessica and Luke Cage were sent flying, tumbling more than a dozen times across the floor before finally stopping.
Jessica, having suffered severe trauma, finally passed out.
Only Luke Cage, like an unkillable cockroach, tenaciously got back up yet again.
Seeing this, even Kilgrave silently cheered him on in his heart.
Come on! Superheroes!!
"He's that tough?"
Du Mu raised an eyebrow. Luke Cage's stats seemed a little high.
Looks like I'll have to get serious!
Before Luke Cage could launch his Bull Rush, Du Mu's body was suddenly covered in countless flickering, translucent components that assembled in the air. They then gradually solidified, transforming into a sharp-lined silver steel battlesuit.
He flicked his hands, and two blazing blue energy whips suddenly sprang from his arm guards. The crackling, high-temperature plasma distorted the air, and a blinding blue light instantly illuminated the entire area.
[Equipment: Whiplash Armor (A steel armor built by Ivan Vanko, equipped with two powerful energy whips. The downside is the lack of a helmet, making it vulnerable to sneak attacks from certain old schemers. Note: The built-in self-destruct system has been removed, use with confidence)]
This was one of the rewards Du Mu received after eliminating the BOSS, Ivan Vanko.
A complete set of the Whiplash Armor!
After donning the Whiplash Armor, Du Mu decisively put on the steel helmet.
While his current strength meant he wasn't afraid of being ambushed by "old schemers," he still had to maintain a sense of ritual.
"Iron Man?"
Kilgrave was dumbfounded.
He wasn't some savage who lived outside modern society; of course, he had heard of Iron Man.
"No, it's Whiplash!"
Du Mu's cold, mechanically-processed voice came from inside the armor.
However, the mind-controlled Luke Cage didn't care about any of this.
In his eyes, there was no fear, and no lion, only the Bull Rush!
Facing the wildly charging Black bull, Du Mu chuckled: "You're getting a treat this time. This is a level of service that even Tony Stark hasn't had the pleasure of enjoying yet."
As he spoke, he crossed his arms, and the energy whips, like two giant bolts of thunder, traced dazzling azure arcs in the air. With a crackling shriek that tore through the atmosphere, they mercilessly lashed out at Luke Cage!
Luke Cage didn't dodge, or rather, in his controlled state, he didn't know how to dodge. His body was struck squarely by the two furious energy whips!
Crack!
An earsplitting crackling sound rang out, accompanied by the horrific smell of burnt flesh.
Even the bulletproof Luke Cage couldn't withstand the attack of these high-temperature plasma whips.
Luke Cage's resilient skin was branded with two scorched marks, and the immense impact force brought his forward momentum to a sudden halt, sending him stumbling backward.
But Du Mu didn't stop, immediately unleashing a "Lightning Five-Lash" attack, the two energy whips striking Luke Cage's body with continuous crackling sounds.
Luke Cage was beaten back step by step, the whip marks on his body increasing, and his stamina gradually draining.
Finally, Du Mu threw one energy whip, wrapping it around Luke Cage's neck and yanking him in. He raised his left foot, stomped him heavily onto the ground, and then tightened the energy whip.
The power of the Whiplash Armor was far greater than Du Mu's own, easily pinning Luke Cage to the ground.
Luke Cage had no power to resist and was quickly choked unconscious by the energy whip.
The Black-skinned bull was finally defeated.
The next moment, the Whiplash Armor on Du Mu vanished.
At his feet, the three street heroes lay unconscious, all having sustained serious injuries.
After dealing with the trio, Du Mu turned to face Kilgrave, who was being protected by Elektra, and flashed a benevolent smile.
"Heh heh heh, now it's just the two of you left."
Kilgrave was trembling all over.
I'm finished. I think I've run into a supervillain, and a Big Boss one at that!
Is there a superhero who can come save me?!
