'This power, isn't it a little too big?'
Even Ryan himself didn't think that the destructive power formed by the combination of Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms and Chi would be that great.
With one move, like the wind sweeping leaves directly to the clearing, the effect was simply worthy of being called a weapon of destruction.
Of course, although he was surprised in his heart, on the surface, Ryan still manoeuvred the clone, Lord Godless, to act like a villain boss. His gaze swept through the Defenders and others with a straight face. It finally landed on Captain America, "Excellent, you guys are a little more durable than I expected."
Steve held the shield tightly with his hands, standing in front of Natasha and Matt. His determined face looked like he was in a trance. Blood from his cheeks converged, dripping down on top of the shield in his hands, staining the star red.
"Captain."
Natasha looked at the towering back of Captain America in front of her. A complicated look passed over her face, and noticing the injuries on his body, she quickly spoke, "You're injured!"
The shield's protection range was limited, and it couldn't block all the attacks from the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms. In order to protect Natasha and the others behind him, Steve could only use his own body to bear the remaining force of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms. Fortunately, Steve, who had been strengthened by super soldier's serum, had obviously improved and strengthened in both strength and endurance. So, he somehow withstood Lord Godless's attack, even though he struggled.
"It's okay."
Wiping the blood off his forehead, Steve turned his head to look at the spot where Tony had landed.
In the next second, Tony, equipped with the Mark 6, flew out from among the rubble of a building.
It can be seen that his condition wasn't so good. A large number of cracks were exposed on the Mark 6, and a large piece of hard and thick armour at his chest had fallen off, leaving only the inner wires and arc reactor still shining, which continued to provide energy for the armour.
"Jarvis."
"... Zi zi ziii ... Mark 6 damage ... 46... percent.... Chest plate... Shoulder plate... Lost... Lower limbs ... Zi zi zi... I'm sorry ... Sir..."
"Lost communication with Jarvis..."
Looking at the scrambled interface, Tony had to switch the system in his helmet to manual mode. He looked at the armour damage shown in the picture in front of him with a gloomy expression.
Lord Godless destroyed a large part of Mark 6's weapons and defence equipment with just one move.
Controlling his armour, Tony landed beside Steve.
Tony: "Captain."
Steve: "Mr Stark. How are you doing?"
Tony: "To be honest, not so good."
Steve: "I can see that."
Steve scanned Tony's look and agreed.
Bang --
Somewhere else, Cage and Jessica pushed away a car that was pressing on them and crawled out of the wreckage. At that moment, Cage relied on his strength to directly grab a car as a shield, thereby offsetting most of the attack power from the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.
"Can we really win against this guy?"
Gathering back together, Jessica looked at the messy crowd and couldn't help but ask.
"It only took him one move to beat us like this."
"..."
Jessica's question silenced everyone there. Steve gripped his shield even tighter. The previous situation had clearly shown them that they were no match for Lord Godless right now.
"Well, I have one more trick up my sleeve." In silence, Tony spoke out. He looked at Lord Godless, who was standing not too far away, and spoke with a heavy tone, "But, it will take some time."
"Then we'll buy you some time."
Hearing Tony's words, Steve made a decisive decision.
He raised his shield and looked straight at Lord Godless in front of him, and without any hesitation, he charged forward again.
...
"Sorry."
In Chinatown, within the martial arts school, Ip Man looked at Nick Fury and shook his head with an apologetic look.
"Is there really no way?"
The information about the battle in front of Stark Industries kept coming in from his earpiece. Faced with this increasingly bad scenario, Fury's expression grew more and more grave. He looked at Ip Man and spoke in a low voice, "Jiu You has appeared in New York. At this moment, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s people are fighting against them."
"If Master Roshi doesn't make a move, we'll lose the battle."
"Will Peng Lai just watch as Jiu You continues this destruction?"
Upon hearing Fury's remarks, Ip Man shook his head helplessly, "I certainly don't want to see that happen, but affected by the Kamehameha Celestial Art, once Master Roshi falls into a deep sleep, he won't easily wake up again, unless he wishes to."
"So, about Jiu You ..."
"In fact, Master Roshi had already prepared something because he knew Jiu You might appear when he's asleep. He told me to contact Peng Lai through the secret method to tell the island's masters about the situation in New York. If the timing is right, it should be ..."
As Ip Man spoke up, he turned his eyes to the door of the martial arts school.
"Master Ip!"
At that moment, a figure in a white Tang suit and cloth shoes appeared at the door of the martial arts school.
...
Bang --
Holding the shield to block Lord Godless's heavy palm strike, Steve waved his arm to bash with his shield. However, he felt like he had slammed his arm on a hard piece of steel, creating a dull thump.
In the distance, Frank, carrying a machine gun, aimed at Lord Godless. However, with [Invulnerability], he simply ignored the impact of these bullets. The bullets fired by the Punisher didn't have any effect other than a little disturbance to his vision.
"Damn it! Even bullets are useless?!"
Looking at Lord Godless, who relied on his body to block bullets, Frank couldn't help but curse out in a whisper. But his attacks didn't stop.
Even if he knew that his bullets couldn't cause any damage to Lord Godless, he could at least use them to gain a little bit of advantage.
