"Sir! Sir!"
Inside the Iron Man Armor that had been blown away, the AI Jarvis kept calling out to Tony Stark, who had lost consciousness after being struck by Conqueror's Haki.
Seeing no response from his master, Jarvis had no choice but to activate the emergency protocol and deliver an electric shock to Tony's chest.
"Wah... cough, cough..."
Tony jolted awake, then broke into a short, violent coughing fit.
"What happened?"
"Sir, you were just struck by a powerful energy impact. It caused little physical harm, but directly attacked your consciousness and rendered you unconscious," Jarvis reported hurriedly.
"This feeling... it's so familiar!"
Tony recalled the man wearing a black metal mask in the mountains of Afghanistan.
But this was no time to dwell on it. He immediately used the screen to observe the drastic changes around the White House.
Seeing the red-clad figure standing atop the White House, Tony Stark's expression darkened. "Fuck!"
"Sir, I do not recommend engaging the enemy," Jarvis warned rationally. "We cannot defend against that energy impact. You will lose consciousness again."
A few more electric shocks would not matter, but if he passed out the moment he rushed in, how was he supposed to fight?
Lin Hao had no intention of destroying the White House for now. America's foundation was not this building. If someone died, the conglomerates could choose another person. If the building was destroyed, it could be rebuilt. Acting now would only provoke their shared hatred.
After shouting the slogan, Lin Hao glanced at Adam Smith and Johnny Tyson on either side of the White House and said coldly, "Begin. Finish your decisive battle."
Eunuch Shi and Eunuch Tai finally pulled their worshipful, infatuated, even adoring gazes away from Lord Dongfang. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fury and fighting spirit.
"Damn bitch, Lord Dongfang is mine!" X2
They had just witnessed Invincible East slash through a building with a swing of his sword, his sword energy tearing apart the sky. They were both shocked and delighted.
So Lord Dongfang was this strong!
So as long as I trained hard in swordsmanship, I could become this strong too!
To compete for Lord Dongfang's favor, Eunuch Shi and Eunuch Tai vowed to destroy each other and monopolize his grace.
The red-clad figure atop the White House flashed away and appeared above a distant skyscraper.
Seeing this, the two eunuchs immediately wound their way upward and stood where Lord Dongfang had just been.
The Conqueror's Haki Lin Hao had unleashed only knocked out the soldiers and combat personnel from the authorities nearby. It had not affected ordinary people a kilometer away.
Hearing the commotion outside vanish, some fearless people soon ran out to see what had happened.
"Great! All the troublesome people are dead!"
"Brothers, rush in! We can watch the showdown!"
Joyful Americans and thrill-seekers from all over the world poured out of their hiding places and surged toward the White House from every direction.
They pushed aside the military roadblocks and found metal sheets to lay across the trenches. In the scramble, many fell into the trenches, smashing their heads bloody and breaking bones.
No hardship could stop their desire to watch the spectacle.
By the time the fastest group reached the White House, Eunuch Shi and Eunuch Tai had already begun their battle atop the roof.
Seeing the clouds torn apart in the sky, they cried out in amazement.
"Oh my gosh! They're this powerful?"
"I want to become as strong as them too! Can anyone tell me how they did it?"
Someone who had seen Invincible East act earlier stepped forward to remind them.
"The clouds in the sky weren't caused by those two. It was him!" They pointed at the red-clad figure on the distant skyscraper, drinking and watching the show.
Most of those who had come to watch were well-equipped. Not only did they bring binoculars, many had brought cameras as well.
They openly watched Invincible East, taking photos of him without restraint.
Lin Hao seemed unaware and continued posing on his own.
Today, he was here to advertise the "Evil-Warding Sword Manual"!
Although much of the attention had been stolen, Eunuch Shi and Eunuch Tai atop the White House did not care at all. They continued fighting with complete abandon.
"Kid, I'm Lord Dongfang's only true follower!"
Eunuch Tai fought savagely, attacking without defending, ignoring the many wounds the sharp Adamantium left on his body.
Three months ago, Eunuch Shi had only been an ordinary man. Though his wife had cuckolded him every day, he had never encountered truly vicious people.
Eunuch Tai was different. He often took part in underground arena fights, either beating others or getting beaten himself. He had long developed a ferocious aura.
But Eunuch Tai had wasted some of his stamina while breaking through the defenses earlier, while Eunuch Shi had been waiting at ease. After temporarily withstanding the other man's fierce assault, Eunuch Shi sharply noticed the sluggishness in his opponent's Inner Force circulation.
Though Eunuch Shi had little fighting experience before rising to prominence, he was talented. Moreover, he had trained his swordsmanship single-mindedly in the forest for three months. His cultivation was actually a notch above Eunuch Tai's.
Though the difference was slight, it was extremely important at a critical moment like this.
Seizing the gap between Eunuch Tai's sword moves, Eunuch Shi gathered all his Inner Force and thrust with everything he had, sending his sword tip toward Eunuch Tai's chest with the fastest and fiercest strike possible.
Eunuch Tai was horrified, but it only stirred his savagery.
Without dodging or defending, the longsword in Eunuch Tai's hand continued slashing toward Eunuch Shi's waist.
For some reason, perhaps because he envied Eunuch Shi for having women deliver themselves to his door every day to beg for abuse, Eunuch Tai kept targeting his opponent's kidneys.
They clearly knew that such things had become meaningless, yet they still retained a man's instinctive habits.
Both eunuchs were drenched in blood. Their free hands continued exchanging blows, fists and palms colliding. Borrowing the force, they retreated and opened up the distance.
By then, more and more people had gathered to watch. After taking pictures of Invincible East, who had shown no reaction and only kept posing, they turned their attention back to today's main characters.
In the crowd, George Stacy tightly held his daughter and looked up at the battle between the two seniors, feeling that he had gained immense insight.
He had only practiced for a few days. His swordsmanship was not refined, and his Inner Force was not deep.
The battle between Eunuch Shi and Eunuch Tai was like a guiding beacon, showing Eunuch George the path ahead.
As for the immensely powerful Invincible East... rational Eunuch George knew he could not possibly reach that level anytime soon, but a trace of ambition was planted in his heart.
If he can do it, so can I!
It was not only Chief George, the newly appointed eunuch. Many veteran eunuchs who had not been captured were also hiding among the crowd to watch.
Some were horrified, some disdainful, and some stared with intense longing, eager to take their places.
All of them looked with pilgrim-like reverence at the clouds that still had not recovered and at Invincible East atop the distant skyscraper.
So "The East rises, I alone am invincible" was not merely a boast.
Lord Dongfang was too powerful!
I must become Lord Dongfang's only follower!
The two eunuchs atop the White House paid no attention to the thoughts of the spectators below. After resting briefly, they charged at each other again.
Their blades collided endlessly. Under the enhancement of Inner Force, the two famous metals of the Marvel world unleashed astonishing destructive power. Whenever a blade swung wide, it carved savage scars into the roof of the White House.
After fighting fiercely for nearly half an hour, both eunuchs had used up half their Inner Force and were gradually weakening, yet neither had gained the upper hand.
Seeing that the advertising effect had been achieved, Lin Hao noticed several streaks of fire approaching from the distant sky. He immediately flashed into the air and swung several more slashes.
The missiles carrying powerful anesthetic gas were destroyed by the slashes, but the gas scattered with the wind.
People among the spectators around the White House soon began collapsing unconscious.
Eunuch George, who had been watching the battle, was alarmed. He hurriedly held his daughter and retreated at speed.
The two eunuchs in battle looked up at Lord Dongfang in the sky, but he did not respond and flashed away.
The two eunuchs were not fools.
America had suffered such humiliation and rage. How could its "eagle hawks" let this go?
They would definitely send a large force for support. Those missiles had been the signal.
Though they both wanted to kill the other, neither wanted to die alongside him.
"One final move! We settle superiority and decide life and death!" Eunuch Tai roared.
Eunuch Shi's expression turned solemn as he raised his sword and charged forward.
Both sides circulated the last of their Inner Force and unleashed desperate strikes.
Neither expected that the Vibranium longsword in Eunuch Tai's hand would release all the energy it had absorbed at that very moment.
The blue shockwave blasted both men away, sending them flying into the crowds on opposite sides of the White House.
"Run! The army is here!"
"So many armored vehicles, so many soldiers! Run!"
"Fuck you!" Eunuch Tai spat. "You got lucky, kid."
His expression was fierce, but he turned and fled.
Eunuch Shi on the other side fell silent for a moment before turning and leaving as well.
Today's incident was too huge. Hydra might not be able to protect him. He should wait and see before deciding whether to keep being a superhero.
"Bitches, you got lucky!"
