A piece of news montous enough to be inscribed in the annals of history unfolded before their eyes. Reporters frantically pressed their caras' shutters to photograph the scene of Lu Yao tossing out the "Declaration of War Against All Nations", while simultaneously taking out their notebooks to vigorously jot down every word, every character spoken there.
Even in the Yi Dynasty Imperial Palace across the vast ocean, Li Pei and a multitude of civil and military officials also witnessed the "live broadcast".
These officials were mostly advanced in years, and before the Empress's eyes, they kept their expressions neutral, yet they all felt incredulous in their hearts.
[Declaring war against all nations... The Celestial Lord has truly gone through with it!]
[Announcing war in front of the heads of the great powers and ministers from various nations, this is making enemies of the whole world!]
Yet beyond their shock, these veteran dignitaries who had served through multiple dynasties felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction!
After a century of successive invasions by the great powers, which official present had not suffered humiliation at the hands of foreigners? Land cessions, indemnities, consular jurisdiction, supplying labor overseas... Simple words that contained unspeakable humiliation.
Even those who had climbed up step by step from inland provinces were fully aware of what those "missionaries" were up to; the recently destroyed Sacred Heart Institute was just the tip of the iceberg.
After enduring such bullying, Lu Yao's actions were truly satisfying to the heart! But... there was a common doubt in everyone's minds:
Did Lord Lu Tian... really have the confidence to act this way?
To live a life of joy, to traverse the world unopposed, one must possess the strength to back it up!
Many people stole glances at Li Pei, hoping to find a hint of sothing on her face.
But The Empress, clad in her majestic dragon robe covering her vivacious figure, with phoenix eyes curved and the corners of her mouth upturned, always wore the look of soone enjoying a good show.
~~~~~~~~~~
anwhile, at the scene of the Nine-Nation Conference.
The attendees first looked towards Lu Yao, then turned their gaze to the leaders of England, France, and Arica.
Just like all high-ranking vampires, Chamberlain was replete with an aristocratic and bewitching aura that penetrated the soul, now offering an elegant smile as he said, "Arrogance and ignorance are the twin brothers of destruction."
Clenteau also spoke with a stern face, "Eastern barbarian, you are courting death with your actions!"
This French Pri Minister, with his famous "bullhorn beard", was a world-renowned spellcaster.
Not long ago, he had even ordered his troops to fire on protesters, showing just how ruthless he could be.
And President Lincoln's gaze was bright, appearing much more amiable, "Mr. Lu, I hope you know what you're doing."
He picked up a copy of the "Nine-Nation Treaty" and threw it towards Lu Yao, solemnly saying:
"You cannot make an enemy of the entire world; don't commit a fatal mistake out of impulsiveness. Sign this treaty, and we can pretend nothing happened just now."
The "Treaty" drifted over slowly, its contents a repetition of what had just been discussed in the eting.
Lu Yao gently blew a breath, causing it to disintegrate into powder midway through the air, and said aloud, "Dream on, your era of power and privilege is gone, never to return."
President Lincoln glanced at the leaders of England and France, whose faces were ashen, and said, "For the peace and prosperity of the world, let us set aside our differences and jointly remove this great looming threat."
The heads of the two nations nodded slightly, and the three mightiest countries reached an agreent!
Seeing such a turn of events, other nations, eager to get a piece of the pie, were quick to sign the "Declaration of War Against All Nations". So small countries present for support even tried to fish in troubled waters, making the scene instantly chaotic.
Lincoln gently tapped the Cherry Blossom Divine Axe, saying, "Warrior from the East, we regret that we must now lay you to eternal rest."
As these words were spoken, Clenteau drew out his wand and pointed it, enveloping the entire conference hall in a "light mbrane" instantly, sealing it completely.
Countless formidable figures abruptly stood up, firmly fixing their sights on Lu Yao!
Facing an imminent mob attack, Lu Yao looked unconcerned, laughing lightly as he said:
"I ca here at an invitation. Mr. Lincoln, as the host, would you really resort to violence against a guest?"
Lincoln's voice rang out, righteous and resounding, "As I said before, for the justice and prosperity of the whole world, we must take decisive and bold action!"
With this beautiful rhetoric, thunderous applause once again erupted, with cheering even spilling in from outside.
The outside world was following the situation through radio broadcasts, considering the president's actions as unimpeachable, while regarding the 'Eastern barbarian king' as a fool for presenting himself for execution.
High-ranking officials in the Yi Dynasty across the ocean were holding a clump of cold sweat in their hands.
With a smile that was not quite a smile, Lu Yao said, "Very well, then I am at ease."
He imdiately turned to Wu Tingfang beside him and said, "Mr. Wu, please go and evacuate everyone related to the Yi Dynasty from the city to avoid any collateral damage."
Wu Tingfang was worried about how to retreat safely and heard the words with hesitation about how to leave and… why evacuate the entire city?
Clenteau brandished his wand, slightly longer than chopsticks, and said coldly, "I have already cast a spell to seal this place; you cannot go anywhere…"
But before he could finish his sentence, Lu Yao had already raised his hand and threw a punch that caused ripples of detached energy.
In a "boom," the "light mbrane" that Clenteau had laid shattered like a soap bubble.
The force of Lu Yao's punch continued forward, crushing through walls and destroying houses, directly boring through the White House and extending into the square outside, forcibly cleaving a tunnel wide enough for a subway to pass through!
Outside light poured in, brightening the space considerably, and one could vaguely see the panic-stricken people running around on the White House square.
The edges of the "tunnel" were as smooth as a mirror, as if they had been polished. Wu Tingfang couldn't help but stand up and exclaim,
"Impressive technique! A punch that opens the path like uncovering mountains, even the detached energy is as solid as one, and this was just a casual strike!"
His gaze towards Lu Yao was full of admiration; with such strength, it was no wonder he was fearless.
Lu Yao pointed towards the tunnel and said with a smile, "Go ahead then."
No longer doubting, Wu Tingfang imdiately cupped his fist and said, "Please, Celestial Lord, take care!"
Having said that, he used his swift movent technique to pass through the "tunnel" and leave, to evacuate the people of the Yi Dynasty from the city.
~~~~~~~~~~
At this mont, no one was paying attention to him anymore; all eyes were on Lu Yao!
"Might as well co out and fight, it's not easy for you to use your strengths with so many people."
Lu Yao strode casually through the tunnel he had blasted, heading straight to the square in front of the White House.
The others followed him out with grave expressions. Although they indeed had a nurical advantage, they felt like they were the ones at a disadvantage.
At this ti, many journalists and onlookers were still watching from not too far away, unaware of what was about to happen.
Lu Yao called out, "Gentlen, shall we begin?"
President Lincoln looked impassively towards the people from the Izumo Exile Governnt.
Pri Minister Iten knew this was a signal to let him and his people attack first as a test.
It was certainly not a pleasant task, but they had no choice while under soone else's roof. He assud a defensive Karate stance and started to approach slowly.
anwhile, Wind Demon Kotaro used his hands and feet, burrowing into the ground like a giant "mole," using earth escape techniques to coordinate his attack.
Pri Minister Iten was at the Golden Body Realm and also had the Spirit Refining Stage of Fetal Breath. He was being extrely cautious, watching his enemy closely while communicating telepathically with his companions,
[We must not confront this man with force. Let's probe a bit and then retreat imdiately...argh!!!]
Everyone's vision blurred for a mont, and in the next instant, they saw Lu Yao's fist… sohow already imprinted on Pri Minister Iten's abdon, folding him nearly in half!
"Nani! When did…?"
Pri Minister Iten showed an expression of disbelief; he hadn't seen Lu Yao's movents clearly at all!
His Golden Body also instantly disintegrated under the might of Lu Yao's Martial Path True Intent, suffering full damage. His internal organs, accompanied by blood shimring with a faint golden glow, burst out from every orifice in his body.
His body then flew backward like a cannonball, howling as it crashed into the Eisenhower Building on the west side of the White House, bringing down this primary office location of the federal governnt.
Beautiful architectural debris shot into the sky; so turned into deadly shrapnel, smashing the onlooking crowd into a bloody ss.
A cry of horror spread across the field!
As for the other opponent hiding underground, Lu Yao's Divine Thought instantly pinpointed his exact location.
He raised his arm and violently punched the ground, causing it to tremble thrice before suddenly sinking several ters, forming a sinkhole with a diater of 1 kiloter!
Wind Demon Kotaro let out a piercing scream; his body of ninja mastery had not been put to use before he was squashed into a at patty and buried deep beneath the White House.
The lantation of the master ninja as his Divine Soul perished could be heard clearly, even through millions of tons of earth.
This happened rely 15 seconds since the onset, and the two-man team from the exile governnt was declared dead.
And Lu Yao had not even used his full strength; the "Nuclear Fusion Acupoint" was just functioning at its lowest power.
