The video the Ten Rings had taken last time was filmed by a terrorist hiding in a civilian residence.
It was filmed near the end of the battle.
It mainly showed Tony's Iron Man armor.
As for Qin Xiao, he was only caught on camera in the last two or three seconds, when he smashed the tank.
Unfortunately, Obadiah was done watching the video, and the camera cut away, completely missing the rest.
So, Qin Xiao's punch nearly made Obadiah in the Iron Monger's jaw drop.
"Impossible..."
Obadiah's camera got the Arc Reactor as he wished, and he activated his invincible Iron Monger.
He had even defeated Tony Stark's armor, and he was feeling invincible.
Yet, someone had blocked his attack with a single punch, and that person looked so frail.
"Impossible!!!"
Obadiah doubted the authenticity of that punch.
The Arc Reactor in his chest outputted its full power, and he threw a punch at Qin Xiao.
Judging by its size, that punch could almost hit half of Qin Xiao's body.
"Come on! You bastard!"
Qin Xiao shouted.
He threw a punch in place as well.
Tony, who was lying to the side, widened his eyes.
He knew firsthand how powerful the Iron Monger was.
He didn't expect that Qin Xiao could actually take this punch head-on, which was obviously more than twice as strong as the previous one.
Clearly…
Tony still didn't understand Qin Xiao well enough.
He had clearly underestimated Qin Xiao's shamelessness.
Qin Xiao's seemingly all-out punch.
Yet, when the two fists were about to collide, it clearly veered to the side.
Qin Xiao spun, using the momentum of his punch to dodge the Iron Monger's fist.
Boom!
The Iron Monger's fist slammed directly into the rooftop, creating a hole.
Looking at Qin Xiao, a sly smile played on his lips.
A knife handle had appeared in his hand at some point.
With a flick of his fingers and a swing of his wrist, a black Tang Dao, its blade flashing with cold light, was now in his grasp.
Swinging the Tang Dao down with both hands, he slashed fiercely.
A flash of blade light.
The Tang Dao, not even as thick as a palm, sliced off Iron Monger's right arm at the elbow with a single stroke.
"Fuck!"
Obadiah didn't know what words to use to describe the shock in his heart.
Qin Xiao wasn't a fool. The first punch was to save Tony, and it looked like he had traded blows with Iron Monger on equal footing.
But after that punch, Qin Xiao's right hand was clearly a little numb, though it was nothing with his recovery ability.
Now he was facing a second punch that was obviously more than twice as powerful as the first.
Only a fool would trade blows with him.
Tony had disabled the Iron Monger's entire weapon system, leaving only the Gatling gun on its right arm functional.
Now, Qin Xiao had sliced off the entire forearm with one strike.
"Idiot!"
Qin Xiao spat out a classic Chinese insult.
Although the Gatling gun posed no threat to Qin Xiao, not using a weapon made someone an idiot, didn't it?
"Tony, watch me turn this guy into a stick!"
He turned around and said something to Tony, but then noticed huge flames erupting from the Iron Monger's feet, accompanied by billowing smoke.
The weapon system was destroyed, and an arm was directly sliced off with a single stroke. He even used his flesh and blood to trade a punch with the Iron Monger, a steel behemoth.
All of this was a bit beyond Obadiah's comprehension.
So, while he was talking to Tony, Obadiah activated the flight system, preparing to run away.
It was just a pity that the Iron Monger's acceleration at takeoff was really too slow.
Huge flames erupted, and the entire body slowly rose from the ground.
Qin Xiao looked back and was amused!
"Yo! Leaving without even saying goodbye? Look at your thrusters. They're both armors, but why is yours so un-environmentally friendly! Come down here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiao slashed his blade horizontally, a diagonal slash, two slashes!
Iron Monger's thick metal legs detached directly from the main body.
The flames it spewed continued to rise for over ten meters, spinning several times in the air before crashing heavily onto the rooftop.
Iron Monger's heavy body slammed down, and Qin Xiao stepped forward, his blade falling again.
Iron Monger's left arm landed on the ground.
A perfectly imposing and domineering giant armor was reduced to a limbless husk by Qin Xiao's few strikes.
Turning to look at Tony, Qin Xiao, Tang Dao in hand, jumped directly onto Iron Monger's high, bulging body.
After searching for the connection points, he thought it wasn't worth the trouble. After all, in the system's judgment, this thing wasn't considered a special alloy.
Just stab it in, and it's done.
Just as Qin Xiao raised the Tang Dao, he heard Tony shout from behind.
"Qin!"
Tony called out, but said nothing more.
But the meaning was clear.
Qin Xiao also looked at Tony, and after a long silence, he spoke.
"Do you... remember how many graves were next to Yinsen?"
That one sentence made Tony turn away.
That's right, the massacre in the Middle East was indeed the work of the Ten Rings terrorists.
But whether it was providing weapons, or the kidnapping of Tony that led to the later revenge against Yinsen…
Obadiah definitely had a share in this heavy debt of blood.
Tony turned his face away. Qin Xiao didn't hesitate this time, and his blade fell.
Obadiah let out a muffled groan inside the Iron Monger.
Qin Xiao pulled out his Tang Dao, changed position, and struck again. Only then did he shake off the blood and put away the blade.
"He said he bought a small island to retire on, and told me a whole load of stuff about how he'd figured things out. What a pity!"
Tony muttered softly to himself.
"Alright! I know you feel a bit reluctant. Even if he bought an island, it wouldn't have helped. We have a saying in China: 'Karma goes in circles, retribution is inevitable.' What you owe others, you always have to pay back!"
Qin Xiao sat down next to Tony.
"By the way, why didn't you answer the phone?"
"I was taking a shower. I only knew about the call afterward. Jarvis told me, and I came right over. Can you get up?"
"Yeah, but I might need you to help me take off the armor!"
The current armor couldn't automatically detach.
The two of them struggled for half an hour before taking the armor apart piece by piece.
Tony looked at the Iron Monger in front of him and said after a moment of silence,
"This thing can't be kept, and neither can that big guy downstairs. What happened tonight will definitely let everyone know. We have to destroy these two!"
Tony was referring to the giant Arc Reactor prototype below.
After Tony's miniature reactor and the armor were exposed…
This large reactor would certainly attract the covetous eyes of many factions.
Although everyone knew they weren't Tony Stark, that it couldn't be shrunk just like that.
But they still had to try, didn't they? The allure of the Iron Armor was simply too great.
"How do we destroy it? Do we need to push this big guy down?"
Qin Xiao pointed at the Iron Monger and asked.
"No need! Go down and find Pepper, we'll watch the fireworks together!"
