Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003: 1 Punch Shatters the Mountain
Xiao Zheng watched his ship rapidly navigate through the icebergs, his expression extremely calm, yet he issued consecutive commands.
These orders were all to increase the ship’s speed further.
Long Qie and the Sky Net elites felt very uneasy. Navigating through this area filled with ice floes was extremely dangerous; any minor misstep could result in a collision with an iceberg, leading to ship destruction and loss of life.
However, in their hearts, Xiao Zheng seemed almost god-like; even if he ordered them to die, they wouldn’t hesitate for a moment. So despite their anxiety, they continued to obediently follow orders.
The ship navigated like an agile serpent between the ice floes, weaving through the gaps between the ice floes and narrowly avoiding danger multiple times at critical moments.
In this manner, they continued to navigate for about four or five kilometers, when suddenly in front of them, the horizon expanded. A vast area devoid of any ice floes appeared on the sea’s surface.
But Long Qie and the Sky Net elites were all stunned with wide eyes.
Because right at the center of this ocean clearing stood a massive and terrifying iceberg, reaching into the sky, towering at nearly a thousand meters height.
"Hiss..."
Everyone gasped, the part of the iceberg visible from the ocean surface was already so large, what kind of massive structure lay hidden beneath?
No wonder there weren’t any other ice floes around this iceberg. With such a "tyrant" here, how could any other ice floe dare to approach?
After his shock, Long Qie began to ponder. He faintly felt that Xiao Zheng’s secret to success might be here.
"Haha, we’ve finally arrived. Steer the ship around to behind this iceberg," Xiao Zheng said, a happy smile appearing on his face.
The Sky Net elites, responsible for steering the ship, cautiously navigated around in a large arc to the backside of the iceberg, afraid of colliding with this enormous iceberg.
This iceberg appeared to move rather slowly, but due to its massive size, it contained tremendous kinetic energy. If collided with, the ship would undeniably be destroyed, along with everyone’s lives on board.
...
At this moment, at the junction of ice floes and the regular sea, the Red Giant’s fleet was stationed here, and the Red Giant paced back and forth on the deck, extremely anxious.
"What on earth is the Evil God up to? Damn it! Is he truly seeking his own demise? Impossible! The Evil God is definitely not such a person."
The Red Giant exhausted his thoughts trying to figure out the real intentions behind Xiao Zheng’s actions, but no matter how he pondered, he was unable to come up with any clues.
He faintly felt in his heart that there was undoubtedly a colossal conspiracy involved!
"Hmph, if I can’t figure it out, then so be it; I shall remain unchanged to counter change! I don’t believe the Evil God could remain hidden amidst these ice floes indefinitely. This vast area of ice floes is impossible to navigate through swiftly; the only way out is to return the way he came."
After contemplating for a long time, a sinister flash appeared in the Red Giant’s eyes, deciding to instruct the fleet to remain stationed here, ready to guard against Xiao Zheng’s return.
"Evil God, I will definitely tear you apart limb by limb!"
The Red Giant thought viciously in his heart.
...
At this time, the Sky Net’s ship had finally safely reached the backside of the iceberg.
Xiao Zheng stood on the deck, gazing at this iceberg, his eyes flickering, his thoughts unknown.
Long Qie and the Sky Net elites stood nearby, very curious but patiently refrained from asking any questions.
Xiao Zheng was surely about to take action.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Xiao Zheng tapped the deck with the tip of his foot, his whole body soared into the air, swiftly flew over the vast sea, and arrived at the front of the enormous iceberg. Then, Xiao Zheng tapped the sea again with the tip of his foot, propelling himself up the iceberg.
His movements were extremely rapid; a mountain a thousand meters high was scaled in mere moments, faster than running on flat ground.
Long Qie and the others were puzzled; what was Xiao Zheng doing atop that iceberg? Could he be scouting the strength and layout of the Red Giant’s fleet from that vantage point?
Bang.
With a subtle sound, Xiao Zheng landed on the summit. He stood atop the peak, surveying the surroundings. The vast and spacious ice floe area sparkled under the sunlight, presenting a shimmering view as if a paradise on earth.
The Red Giant’s fleet, mighty and intrepid, lay sprawling at the junction of the ice floe area and the regular sea.
"Red Giant, I wonder if you can withstand this move?" Xiao Zheng smirked with a hint of coldness.
After speaking to himself, Xiao Zheng suddenly took a deep breath, and in that instant, countless air currents mysteriously emerged, converging towards Xiao Zheng from all directions.
Inhaling deeply, the wind and clouds stirred!
An indescribably terrifying aura, like smoke signals, erupted from Xiao Zheng’s body, surging into the sky, causing the whole sea surface to tremble subtly.
At the foot of the iceberg, Long Qie and the others inexplicably felt an innate thrumming in their hearts, akin to some ancient beast slowly awakening from deep slumber.
They all felt an uncontrollable sense of anxiety and disorder.
Moreover, buried deeply within their subconscious, there was a torrent of fear.
Bang!
Suddenly, Xiao Zheng punched the top of the iceberg, an immense force surged from his body, penetrating deep into the iceberg.
Compared to the iceberg, Xiao Zheng appeared as small as an ant, yet his punch caused the iceberg to tremble slightly.
Crack!
In the next moment, a thunderous sound emitted from the heart of the iceberg, akin to ten thousand lightning bolts crashing together.
Then, a crack spread across the surface of this colossal iceberg, starting from its summit and rapidly extending downward at an unimaginable speed, inexorably splintering, crackling like a web, instantly covering the entire iceberg.
Cracks everywhere.
"Hiss..."
Long Qie and the others sucked in a cold breath, staring in shock, disbelief flashing in their eyes.
Damn it, this is a mountain!
Yet Xiao Zheng’s punch produced cracks all over the iceberg, seemingly on the verge of collapsing it.
An ant rendering a giant dragon unconscious with a single strike; this is the impression left on Long Qie and the others, believing that no human could achieve such an act.
Boom!
Xiao Zheng didn’t stop with one punch and followed up with another strike, which immediately resonated within the iceberg, sounding like thunder, violently shaking it.
Rumble rumble.
Chunks of massive ice detached from the iceberg and plunged into the sea, stirring towering waves.
Xiao Zheng remained unsatisfied and unleashed another punch.
Boom!
An even more fearsome sound emanated from within the iceberg, followed by a shocking spectacle unfolding before Long Qie and the others.
The iceberg collapsed!
However, it wasn’t surprising since an iceberg collapse causes a chain reaction, similar to an avalanche, growing progressively larger! The impact becomes increasingly apparent.
