Just like how Sun Cheng effortlessly dodged the attack of the Sonic Stun Gun, Onslaught also effortlessly avoided his Plasma Cannon shots.

In an instant, Sun Cheng realized that his plan to quickly end the battle with the advantage of energy weapons had gone down the drain.

Onslaught evidently realized this too. As the two formidable figures rapidly closed in on each other, they mutually and tacitly retracted their respective energy weapons.

When the two furious and raging combatants collided, what appeared in their hands were two distinctly shaped but highly practical Alloy Heavy Swords.

"Boom!"

The heavy swords clashed violently, and Sun Cheng took a step back.

In the power struggle against Onslaught, his new mechanical body, which couldn't fully unleash its potential yet, seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Onslaught sneered, swinging the heavy sword in his hand. Taking advantage, he slashed towards Sun Cheng's shoulder, taunting, "Is this the confidence you have to defy me?"

Sun Cheng raised his long sword, narrowly blocking the strike.

He didn't retort but immersed himself wholeheartedly in the battle.

Onslaught's strength was slightly inferior to what Sun Cheng anticipated, at most just a bit stronger than a first-tier opponent like himself. Even with the advantage of richer combat experience, Sun Cheng found it challenging to kill Onslaught.

"Perfect for honing my skills on you!"

After briefly scanning the surrounding battlefield, Sun Cheng withdrew his attention and fully engaged in the battle against Onslaught.

He wasn't concerned about the battlefield around him. On his side, there were Thunder and Hysteria, two Elite Warriors, along with over twenty advanced warriors.

Although the four members of Onslaught's Warbot Team had decent strength, winning wouldn't be an easy task.

Especially Thunder, who inherited most of Blackout's combat experience and skills, was quickly entangled in combat with Noisy, the fastest among the Warbot Team.

As Sun Cheng's number one general, Thunder, who received significant resource advantages, was fearless against Noisy. The battle between the two Decepticons quickly turned into a close-quarters struggle, similar to Sun Cheng and Onslaught's battle. Thunder's strength was no weaker than Noisy's, and his fighting techniques were more diverse, likely allowing him to gain the upper hand soon.

With his full focus on the battle against Onslaught, Sun Cheng felt a lot less pressure, although Onslaught continued to firmly suppress him.

"Boom!"

The two Alloy Heavy Swords clashed again. With superior strength, Onslaught pushed Sun Cheng back, delivering a powerful kick.

Unable to evade, Sun Cheng was kicked six to seven meters away.

Fortunately, as he landed, he swiftly rolled to the side.

"Squeak!"

Right where he had fallen, Onslaught's heavy sword plunged straight into the ground.

Quickly getting up, Sun Cheng extended four small melee missiles from his right arm, aimed at Onslaught, forcing him to turn and dodge.

He then forcefully leaped up, swinging his long sword towards Onslaught.

Onslaught quickly pulled up his heavy sword, and the blade was visibly stained with mud.

Yet, he didn't care in the slightest. Tightening his grip, he advanced and clashed with Sun Cheng once again.

Sparks flew from the collision of their weapons, and though Sun Cheng looked disheveled, he only bore a dozen or so wounds from Onslaught, none of them severe.

"It seems you're not having much success against me!"

Gradually adapting to Onslaught's strength, Sun Cheng suddenly exerted force, breaking free from the weapon that Onslaught was using to restrain him. Now, Sun Cheng started taunting him.

Annoyed, Onslaught forcefully slammed his head into Sun Cheng, the violent impact momentarily causing him to lose sight and touch before recovering.

Onslaught didn't let this opportunity pass. He grabbed Sun Cheng's arm and thrust his heavy sword towards Sun Cheng's chest.

However, Sun Cheng swiftly recovered, extending two melee missiles from his back, aiming them at Onslaught's head and firing rapidly.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Although just two small melee missiles with moderate power, both the warhead and ammunition were designed by Sun Cheng's Decepticon engineering team specifically for elite warriors above the level of Decepticons and Autobots.

At close range, the missiles hit Onslaught, who was in mid-air. He let out a cry of pain, releasing Sun Cheng's arm and momentarily halting his assault.

However, the missiles didn't inflict serious damage on Onslaught. While the outer armor of his head cracked and began to fall off, it was limited to that.

Sun Cheng, affected by blastoff's impact, staggered backward a few steps. Only after regaining his balance did he draw his Plasma Cannon from his back and aim it at Onslaught, whose head was emitting sparks.

Onslaught instinctively raised his heavy sword to block in front of him. The energy projectiles from the Plasma Cannon hit the blade, creating several cracks due to the powerful shockwave generated by blastoff.

Simultaneously, Onslaught was sent flying seven to eight meters by blastoff's impact.

Seizing the advantage, Sun Cheng, who had been suppressed for a while, immediately counterattacked.

Accelerating quickly to Onslaught's side, his long sword left a long scratch above Onslaught's left abdomen.

However, Onslaught's reaction was faster than Sun Cheng anticipated. He abruptly reached out and grabbed Sun Cheng's long sword, preventing him from retracting the weapon.

His other fist, which had been covering his head just moments ago, was now clenched and ready. A punch aimed at Sun Cheng's cheek landed heavily, instantly causing large cracks to appear on his face.

Unrelenting, Onslaught took advantage of Sun Cheng's disorientation. Seeing that he wouldn't release the long sword, Onslaught forcefully pulled Sun Cheng towards him, slamming his head into him again. Immediately after, he delivered a fierce punch to Sun Cheng's head.

This combination of moves truly dealt a significant blow to Sun Cheng.

Stumbling backward several steps, shaking his head, Sun Cheng's vision became somewhat blurred as he looked at Onslaught.

Seeing this, Onslaught once again pulled out the Sonic Stun Gun, firing a brilliant blue beam at Sun Cheng.

The electromagnetic energy blast hit Sun Cheng, causing his mechanical body to shiver slightly, but that was all.

Having undergone multiple electromagnetic strengthening processes, Sun Cheng's mechanical body was less threatened by Onslaught's main weapon, which posed a significant danger to most Cybertronians.

"You're not as strong as I imagined!"

Gripping his long sword tightly, Sun Cheng quickly repaired his mechanical body while coldly smiling at Onslaught.

Though currently at a disadvantage, his mood was surprisingly good.

He didn't know if Onslaught had given his all, but at least he still had a trump card up his sleeve—one that he hadn't revealed yet.

For instance, within his body, the Requiem Blaster awakened by the electromagnetic energy blast Onslaught had shot earlier was now autonomously absorbing energy from the surrounding space and feeding it back to Sun Cheng.
