Chapter 937: Having the Upper Hand

In the television broadcast studio, a huge countdown number was ticking as the seconds passed by. The nerves of countless people across the planet were left hanging.

This was the three-hour countdown timer that the television station had set up after Fang Xingjian gave his reply.

Over one hour ago, a great unknown explosion occurred in the extreme north. The entire Heaven-Connecting Tower had turned into nothingness, and the land within a range of 100 lis had turned into charred land.

Then over half an hour ago, a battle broke out above Central Asia’s desert. It was suspected that there were commander-level people involved in the battle.

These two pieces of news immediately spread across the world, garnering the attention of countless people.

It was a pity that no one from the armies provided any further information thereafter. The media could only continue to investigate these cases through their own channels.

The television host in the broadcast studio said, “There’s only half an hour left to the time limit set by Fang Xingjian. However, the armies have yet to send in new information.

“But there’s one thing that’s for sure. The White Army has already gone out to war against the other nine armies. However, other than several explosions, we haven’t receive any other news. It’s so quiet that it’s strange.”

He turned to Professor Lauretta and asked, “Professor, what are your thoughts about the current situation?”

“The White Army is a part of the 13 armies after all. As their Commander, Fang Xingjian can’t be killed so easily,” Professor Lauretta said with certainty. “The initial explosion must have been Fang Xingjian making the first move and attacking the Heaven-Connecting Tower. However, thereafter, the nine Commanders gave chase in a bid to kill him.

“The only reason that everything’s so quiet is because Fang Xingjian has went into hiding and the nine Commanders are giving chase. Without any battles, there are naturally no commotion.”

The television host nodded. Yet at the next moment, his countenance changed as he pressed onto his earphones like he was listening to something.

He raised his head abruptly and said while facing the camera, “Everyone, our frontline reporter has received the latest news that Fang Xingjian’s traces have been discovered on a beach in the Mediterranean Sea. It seems that he is engaged in a battle with the other Commanders.”

Professor Lauretta said agitatedly, “He must have been captured by the other Commanders. To think that even ordinary people managed to discover his traces… The battle must already be decided.”

The television host nodded and said, “Our frontline reporter is rushing over. Let’s take a look at the photographs the locals uploaded onto the internet. This is a photograph taken by one of the witnesses.”

As he spoke, a photograph was displayed on the big screen. It showed Fang Xingjian standing on the beach, lifting Bruce up into air by the head.

At the sight of this photograph, everyone drew in a cold gasp.

“That’s Bruce, the Blue Army’s Commander!”

“To think that he’s being lifted up like that…”

“Who is that guy? Is that Fang Xingjian?”

The television host was also taken by surprise, and he said in disbelief. “Based on the news sent from the scene, the man who is lifted up is the Blue Army’s Commander, Bruce. The man with black hair is the White Army’s Commander, Fang Xingjian.

“Based on the eyewitnesses’ records, Fang Xingjian continuously beat Bruce up and left after destroying his physical body completely.”
