Sun Cheng naturally wouldn't tolerate him arbitrarily destroying the only dozen or so battle robots he had. When he saw that the Decepticon dared to distract himself and prepare to destroy the battle robots, his eyes lit up, and he raised his hand, plasma cannon ready, aimed at the Decepticon and fired a shot.

"Boom!"

Perhaps sensing the danger, the Decepticon narrowly dodged Sun Cheng's attack with a quick forward leap.

However, due to the distraction, his strikes with the flail showed some deviations in both speed and accuracy, and the combat robot equipped with the battle detection system managed to evade the attack as well.

The energy blast from the hand cannon exploded near the Decepticon, creating a sizable crater in the ground.

The Decepticon glanced around, evidently taken aback by the power of Sun Cheng's weapon. In that instant, he once again looked at Sun Cheng, or more precisely, at the plasma cannon in Sun Cheng's hand, with a greedy expression.

"... Only a stronger warrior deserves to wield such a weapon..."

This was the first time Sun Cheng heard the Decepticon's voice, but the arrogant tone couldn't help but make him smirk.

"How interesting. Do you have designs on my weapon?"

After a few probing attacks, Sun Cheng had already figured out that the opponent's primary weapons were the nail gun that had fired at him earlier and the flail he was currently using. Aside from those, the Decepticon seemed to lack energy weapons.

Realizing that aside from its larger size, the Decepticon's weaponry was inferior to the combat robots he had created, Sun Cheng began to entertain some thoughts.

"Plasma cannons, fire at will!"

Without delay, he ordered the battle robots to unleash a volley of plasma cannon fire. He himself didn't holster his equipped hand cannon but drew Sideswipe's triangular-edged blade from the spherical space.

Although Atlas had equipped the combat robots with melee systems, they lacked the most critical weapon—the alloy for the Steel Saber was yet to be completed. It would be akin to serving them on a silver platter to send them into battle against the Decepticon unarmed.

Thus, Sun Cheng decided to take matters into his own hands.

After all, he had already gauged the Decepticon's combat prowess. Even compared to high-ranking warriors like Barricade and Bumblebee, he was probably no more formidable than Mudflap, Forerunner, or Hysteria.

It would be the perfect opportunity to test his own skills and train his abysmal melee abilities.

With his command, the thirteen battle robots promptly locked onto the Decepticon. The shoulder cannons on their frames illuminated simultaneously, aiming at their target for a synchronized salvo.

Although it's not right to approach and spy on this Decepticon even while in stealth mode.

However, even after he deactivated his optical invisibility and revealed his identity, this guy stubbornly targeted him, looking as if he wanted to kill him.

Sun Cheng was completely infuriated. After landing, with a wave of his hand, he summoned thirteen battle robots that he had kept stored in a spherical space, and ordered them to launch a deadly attack.

Upon receiving the battle command, the thirteen robots, originally designed for combat, simultaneously raised their gun barrels. Once they locked onto their targets, a terrifying hail of bullets rained down upon the battlefield.

"Da da da..."

"Da da da..."

The furious roars came from the rapid-fire machine guns equipped on the battle robots. Although the bullets were Earth-made 7.62mm armor-piercing rounds, it was difficult for them to penetrate the advanced mechanical bodies of the warriors. However, the advantage of these bullets lay in their quantity. With a horrifying rate of fire, firing hundreds of rounds per second, even Sun Cheng himself wouldn't dare to withstand it.

As expected, once the rapid-fire machine guns of the thirteen battle robots locked onto their target, the howling bullets struck the Decepticon's mechanical body.

Initially, the ferocious Decepticon didn't pay much attention to it, but after enduring a few seconds of direct hits, cracks visibly appeared on the surface of his mechanical body amidst the constant flickering of sparks.

A look of surprise flashed across the Decepticon's beast-like face. He quickly reached behind and retrieved a weapon resembling a flail, with a hammerhead adorned with menacing thorns. Without delay, he aimed it at one of the battle robots and hurled it forward.

The Decepticon's expression suddenly changed!

His speed is not particularly agile, so in order to evade the plasma cannon barrage from the battle robots, he could only awkwardly choose to roll on the ground.

Unfortunately, Sun Cheng was waiting for this moment.

Seeing the Decepticon expose a vulnerability while trying to dodge the attacks of the battle robots, Sun Cheng leaped forward, wielding Sideswipe's triangular-edged blade in his right hand, aiming to strike the Decepticon's head.

"Damn..."

The Decepticon's reaction was not slow, despite his earlier roll on the ground to avoid the battle robots' barrage, which left him looking somewhat disheveled.

But upon realizing Sun Cheng's incoming assault, he instinctively raised the flail in his hand, attempting to block the attack.

Unfortunately, the sharpness of Sideswipe's triangular-edged blade far exceeded his expectations.

"Screech..."

As if cutting through tofu, the triangular-edged blade easily severed the flail in his hand and continued its trajectory towards his neck with unabated force.

"No..."

His face involuntarily displayed a fearful expression!

In a split second, the Decepticon unleashed an unimaginable burst of strength.

He reached out for the blade, even though it immediately severed his fingers upon contact, his other hand swiftly took over, narrowly catching hold of the blade.

Regretfully, Sun Cheng was aware that his mechanical body was not renowned for strength, so before the Decepticon could realize this, he quickly adjusted his grip, leveraging the razor-sharpness of the triangular-edged blade to remove the Decepticon's left palm with a swift motion.

Then, he leaped backward, evading the incoming barrage from the thirteen battle robots.

In the next moment, accompanied by a resounding explosion, nearly all of the plasma shoulder cannons from the thirteen combat robots rained down upon the Decepticon.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

Instantly, his mechanical body was covered in horrifying cracks, and the surroundings were littered with metal shards.

Clearly, they all originated from this Decepticon.

Core gently scanned him for a moment, confirming that the individual was severely injured and had minimal combat capabilities.

Only then did Sun Cheng holster his weapon and, under the protection of the thirteen battle robots, approach the fallen Decepticon.

"With such limited strength, you dare come and steal my weapons..."

Looking down at him with a superior vantage point, Sun Cheng's face was filled with a cold smirk.

Unapologetically displaying his victorious stance, he stepped on the Decepticon's head and coldly inquired, "Now, tell me, who are you? Are you also from the moon? Whom do you work for? Lord Fallen, perhaps?"

Observing the Decepticon's shifting gaze, there was a hint of curiosity.

Unable to contain his derisive laughter, Sun Cheng waved his hand, producing a metallic sphere the size of a basketball, which he hurled into the sky.

"Squeak..."

An abrupt explosion of electromagnetic interference made his brows furrow deeply.

The thirteen battle robots by his side, tasked with his protection, were faring even worse, their mechanical bodies trembling violently before finally recovering after some time.

As for the Decepticon on the ground, it was evident that he fared no better than Sun Cheng and his companions.

Suddenly, a pained expression flashed across his face, and after a moment, he replied in a trembling voice, "...I...I am called Dust Up, my lord..."
