782 Destroying Ling Yun Tower with One Punch (1/2)
Green Jade and company had all turned pale. Fang Zhengzhi had humiliated them completely by leaving them in a paralysed state and not bothering to deal with them at all. They even found death preferable to this treatment. The most pressing issue was that the Penta-coloured Wonder Flowers had been snatched away by Fang Zhengzhi.
It had happened right in front of them!
Of course, other than humiliation, they were experiencing fear of a visceral nature. They were very much aware of how much the five special flowers meant to Ling Yun Tower.
Also, Fang Zhengzhi was not finished…
Just as their hearts were filled with indignity and horror, Fang Zhengzhi had stomped a huge foot down into the first level of Ling Yun Tower and used it as leverage for him to leap up into the air.
”Whoa!” The sun had been blocked out by his huge body.
”What is he trying to do?!”
”Could it be that he wants to… no, no way!”
”Stop!”
Green Jade and company shouted at Fang Zhengzhi to stop but to no avail. They were unable to move and could only use their voices to protest.
They were screaming at the top of their lungs and waiting for a miracle to happen. Even then, they could not believe that this was happening at all.
Still, the huge black figure struck out a fist.
A punch!
A punch that carried a blood-red glow and was fuelled by black flames!
The punch landed squarely on the space between the seventh and eighth levels of Ling Yun Tower. It was as if a meteorite had smashed into a mountain.
”Boom!” A ear-shattering sound split the air. The force of the blast had knocked over every single plant in the vicinity.
It was a shocking sight indeed.
Green Jade and company were devastated.
”He really dared to, and actually did it. Displaying such impunity before Ling Yun Tower by virtue of his strength alone. Is he not afraid of death?!” Green Jade had not expected that such a madman would exist in this world.
Or it might have already gone beyond madness. It was a death wish!
”This fellow has done it!” Lin Mubai had his eyes wide open. As the ruler of the Great Xia, he was usually able to maintain his coolness but at this point, even he was experiencing a surge of adrenaline through his veins.
Lin Mubai had fantasized countless times about being able to achieve such an amazing feat himself one day.
He had never been able to do it…
His abilities and status were both limiting factors and pulled him back into reality every time.
Right now, a fantastic event was occurring before his eyes. He could scarcely believe that it was happening.
”Knocking down a tower with one punch? This shameless fellow is as audacious as ever. But… why hasn't the Tower fallen yet? Ping Yang exhaled deeply. She kept her eyes fixated on the horizon and pouted in bewilderment.
Of course, such a sense of bewilderment was making things awkward for Fang Zhengzhi.
What was this?
Things were not going according to plan!
Fang Zhengzhi had exerted much power in the execution of his punch and there was supposed to be no doubt that the Tower would collapse in a heap of dust.
It did not even budge an inch!
The most amazing thing was that the punch had not managed to inflict any damage on the Tower. Not a single brick was lost and there were not even any cracks.
For the first time, Fang Zhengzhi wondered if he had missed.
How could this have happened?
Even the huge rock on the Nine Pinnacles Mountain that had bathed in magma and was harder than metal had been smashed into pieces by his fists. How could Ling Yun Tower, apparently constructed out of gold and jade, have withstood his power?
Fang Zhengzhi blinked and tried to look for cracks on the walls, or anything that would reassure him.
Nevertheless, the truth hurt.
The only way that Ling Yun Tower might have changed was that all of the dust particles on the Tower had been blown away.
”What the heck?” Fang Zhengzhi felt his cheeks turn red. He had planned to destroy the Tower with one punch so as to vent his frustrations and to assert his dominance.
However, the end result was that the Tower continued to stand.
If only he had known that things would turn out this way…
He should not have ignored Green Jade and company from the beginning. What he should have done was to defeat all of them first. In that case, he would not look that much of a joke in front of them.
No way!
He had to try again!
Fang Zhengzhi could not be reconciled to his failure and clenched his fists. He threw out another punch at another part of the Tower.
A punch to the eighth level!
”Boom!” Another deafening roar that whipped up the surrounding winds. Ling Yun Tower remained unscathed.
A punch to the sixth level!
Fang Zhengzhi did not believe that Ling Yun Tower could withstand his repeated frenzied punches.
”Boom!” The world was shaking, proving that Fang Zhengzhi's punches were indeed formidable. But why was the Tower still standing?
Not a single brick or tile had fallen down!
Fang Zhengzhi's face turned red as he flew into a rage.
Green Jade and company observed the proceedings with their mouths agape. Just how crazy must a person become in order to act like that?
They were furious as well.
Ping Yang was getting quite worked up too and cheered Fang Zhengzhi on.
”Go on, do it, bring it down. I, the Princess, support you! You must destroy Ling Yun Tower. If one punch won't do it, throw tens and hundreds of punches!” Ping Yang shouted at Fang Zhengzhi excitedly.
