940 Chapter 940: Origin Tower
Seeing that Nangong Chiyu has arrived, Fu Ming snaked away. He seemed to have a destination in his mind.
He turned to look at Ren Long and Chi Yu who were fighting a fierce fight against demonic beasts, he muttered: “They can wait for me here, anyway, I’ll be back soon. Since I wasn’t able to get the egg of Nine-headed Flame Dragon, I should at least get my hands on Origin Drift Bottle. Only then can I guarantee mine and their safety.”
…..
Three hours later, somewhere on the north side inside the Golden River City, a tower that closely resembles a fortress stood tall.
Canons could be seen pocking out of the box-sized windows; these were all powered by formations and were capable of chasing away the deadliest horde of monsters.
On the inner curtain walls were guards dressed in resplendent silver armor, and on the towers attached to them were a group of Rulers and Exalted Rulers, sitting in a circle, playing cards.
This tower was called Origin Tower, as for the reason, normal people are unaware. Only those kings of countries and emperors of the Empire know that this tower was built to protect the world’s most sacred treasure, Origin Drift Bottle.
The Origin Tower was equipped with the best sensory and defensive array formations. No sentient being could escape its live radar that was continuously doing scans of the surrounding terrains.
Mini water screens were floating around the Rulers and Exalted Rulers. Represented in them were the surrounding area and the beings in them in the form of dots.
One such dot suddenly appeared on the cliff facing the tower.
“Ring! “Ring!”
“Ding!”
Suddenly, all the guards were alerted of the intruder and they looked towards that single spot where a being could be seen standing. He was under the shade of trees. Thus, they weren’t able to get a clear picture of him. But from his towering outline alone, they took him as some kind of troll.
“Halt! I warn you not to approach the tower. The likes of you are not allowed to come near the tower!” The commander of the guards of this tower warned the creature at the cliff.
But the being acted like he couldn’t hear him and advanced, stepping out of the darkness, his figure clearly revealed.
Everyone saw what he looked like; he seemed to be in his thirties and a pleasant aura was surrounding his body like waves in the ocean. He didn’t look handsome, but because of his appealing appearance, he was particularly striking.
Who could he be if not Fu Ming?
He came to a stop only after standing at the edge of the cliff. Then, he raised his head, looked at the guard’s captain, and said. “Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fu Ming. I come from the Destiny Dao Sect. I’m here with the purpose to have an audience with your lord.” Fu Ming cupped his hand and humbly said, yet all he got in return was jeers.
Hearing his words, the guards’ captain sarcastically chuckled, “Do you think just anyone can be granted a meeting with Lord Guo?” His voice was forceful and authoritative as he said, “Get lost!”
Fu Ming was being stared at by dozens of pairs of hungry eyes. Anyone in his shoes would be scared s.h.i.tless. But he didn’t show an ounce of fear. Instead, he looked p.i.s.sed off.
“f.u.c.k, I’m done with being humble. I was still respectful because of your lord. But if you are like this, then let’s do things my way!” Fu Ming glared back at them and spoke.
“Lord Guo, I will give you one chance to come over here and see me. If I don’t see you in five minutes, I will welcome myself inside. And… you will find it very very rude.”
His words were like a direct challenge to the lord of this Origin Tower. It immediately p.i.s.sed off everyone.
“Who the heck does he heck he is to look down on our lord?”
“He must be a frog that recently escaped the well and thus, knows not how huge the world is.”
“To ask our lord to come to him, he must be one arrogant price.”
The guards’ captain turned to the person beside him and asked in a low voice: “Does the lord know him?”
“I’ve never heard him talking about knowing anyone from the Destiny Dao Sect. But that doesn’t mean he has no connection with the people of that sect. Maybe he’s someone lord knows. It’s best if we wait for the lord to arrive. We will deal with him any way Lord likes.” The one who said this was the closest person to the lord of Origin Tower. He was an old man with the surname Wen and last name Cheng.
“What is the Lord doing right now?” The guards’ captain asked again.
Wen Cheng replied, “He’s busy eating and you know, he doesn’t like to be disturbed during his meals. We can only wait.”
At this moment, an Exalted Ruler came and disdainfully glared at Fu Ming, who was stretching his body. Then he furiously spoke: “A dumba.s.s is about to intrude our tower. I’m afraid we don’t have time to wait for the lord to finish his meal and pay attention to this matter.”
“Then… what should we do?” The guards’ captain asked in a husky voice. It was full of depth and power. He narrowed his eyes and eyed Wen Cheng beside him.
“Isn’t it obvious? Let’s teach this b.a.s.t.a.r.d a lesson!” The Exalted Ruler’s words put a smile on the guards’ captain’s face. He immediately shouted, “All forces, attack!”
Hundreds of attacks immediately rained out of the tower, diving toward Fu Ming, intending to kill him in an instant. The Origin Tower didn’t show mercy and directly unleashed its strongest strength. They even used cannons to attack Fu Ming, fearing that Fu Ming’s strength might already have surpa.s.sed the Exalted Ruler Realm.
At this time, Wen Cheng shook his head and sighed, then he turned to leave. There was no reason left for him to be here. According to him, the rain of attack just now must have taken care of that man. There’s no way he would survive.
He could only report this matter to his lord.
“Tch! I guess I got no choice but to cause some trouble.” Fu Ming curled his fingers into a fist and punched out. A great shockwave burst out, the likes of which these battle-hardened guards have never seen.
It snapped the hundreds of attacks raining down the skies into fragments of lights before blasting those fragments into smithereens.
All the guards in mid-air were also smashed away by it, their figures becoming a dim light on the horizon.
The grand barrier around the Origin Tower that was barring entrance to all the harmful elements outside was struck by it too and shattered like gla.s.s getting smashed by a hammer.
The sound of the barrier’s destruction was extremely crisp.
Wen Cheng stopped and looked behind. What he saw shocked him to his core.
pan,da n<0,>v,el The guards and Rulers were frozen stiff like status. Their leaders were feeling no better. Their eyes were protruding, threatening to pop out of their sockets, and their jaws had long since fallen to touch the ground.
“D-did our frontal a.s.sault, vanguards, and defensive barrier just fall to one punch of that man?”
“Tell me this is a joke, right? I must be dreaming!”
Everyone was finding it hard to believe what they had just witnessed.
“There exist people in the world that shouldn’t be underestimated. Let today be the example of what happens when they are unreasonably troubled.” Fu Ming taunted them as he released a skill unique only to him. He waved his hand and the next instant…
“Whoosh!”
“Ugh!”
“Argh!”
The ones who stood up to oppose Fu Ming suddenly felt their bones twisting and their heads exploding as a great pressure acted upon them. Blood burst out of their nose and trickled out of their ears.
The next instant, they collapsed one after another, falling to the ground with dull thuds.
Fu Ming had not killed them, he had just made them faint.
At the wall, only Wen Cheng remained conscious. But the defensive treasure Lord had crafted for him was in pieces. If not for it, he would have been like the people around him, sprawled on the ground, injured with blood coming out of his holes.
Wen Cheng felt his b.u.t.t tighten. He stood up and ran towards the depth of the Tower. Only now did he understand that other than Lord of the tower, no one could deal with this monster.
He hurriedly went inside and saw the Lord has already eaten his fill and was currently resting. Without any manners, he rudely barged into the room and said: “Lord, it’s terrible; we’re under siege.”
“Under siege?” Lord was surprised. He jumped up and asked: “Has the Beast Tide already broken the defense wall of the city and entered?”
