ACSP: Chapter 121: Sensation Across the City!
When Puppet City was detonated by Old Granny Yan,
the entire population of Kang City was stirred.
Eastern District of Kang City.
General Chamber of Commerce Building.
A woman with a high ponytail and a breathtaking figure was in the warehouse inspecting the items to be auctioned at the upcoming event.
Hearing the commotion coming from the Western District,
she immediately put down the inventory list and ran outside with a few assistants.
"In this direction... did something happen to Puppet City in the Western District?"
Looking at the massive mushroom cloud appearing in the west, President Xia Qianning frowned slightly, a trace of worry subtly appearing between her brows.
Their General Chamber of Commerce held a grand auction in the Eastern District every quarter.
The date for the auction was now right around the corner.
If anything happened in Kang City during this time, it would inevitably affect their upcoming auction.
"Xiao Lan, send someone to the Western District to see what exactly happened to Puppet City and report back truthfully."
President Xia Qianning withdrew her gaze and turned to instruct a female assistant beside her.
"Yes, President."
The female assistant acknowledged the order and immediately flashed away from the Chamber of Commerce.
At this moment, another female assistant suddenly spoke up: "President, a few days ago, while Lei Li and his men were away from Kang City, Old Granny Yan of Puppet City secretly annexed all the industrial resources of the Thunder God Temple. Now that something has happened to Puppet City, could this be Lei Li's retaliation against Puppet City?"
President Xia Qianning looked thoughtful: "We only need to understand the situation; as for the conflict between them, we do not need to get involved. Remember, our Chamber of Commerce only does business and absolutely does not participate in competition between other factions."
The female assistant was still a bit worried after hearing this: "But what if the conflict between Puppet City and the Thunder God Temple affects our quarterly auction..."
"—Crack!"
Before the other person could finish, the floor tiles under President Xia Qianning's feet were crushed into fragments by a terrifying, unnatural strength.
"Although our Kang City General Chamber of Commerce does not participate in any competitive disputes between factions, if anyone affects our business, then I will have no choice but to let them taste my fists."
Southern District of Kang City.
At this moment.
On a temporarily constructed stage.
A man with a center-part hairstyle and wearing overalls was using the tentacles of the Eight-Tails Gyuki to juggle eight basketballs simultaneously while performing the 'Iron Mountain Shoulder' dance.
From time to time, he would also blurt out a few lines of exciting and high-spirited "Rap."
Those eight basketballs were manipulated at will by his octopus tentacles, sometimes spinning, sometimes leaping.
Offstage, many female fans looked at those eight tentacles, their faces flushed, with screams rising one after another, as if they were addicted and unable to extricate themselves.
However, just as he was halfway through his performance,
a violent roar suddenly came from the Western District.
The Southern District and the Western District were relatively close.
Because the temporarily constructed stage was not sturdy enough,
the moment that loud noise arrived,
the entire temporary stage collapsed instantly.
Fortunately, Cai Kun was quick-witted and agile, immediately using his eight tentacles to support the collapsing wooden beams, preventing himself from getting hurt.
"Bastard~! This is the stage my fans built for me, Jini Taimei..."
Looking at the stage that had already turned into ruins, Cai Kun was heartbroken.
He hurriedly took out his makeup mirror and comb, re-combing his slightly disheveled hairstyle back into a center part, and then looked up at the mushroom cloud rising in the Western District.
"Which blind fool dared to tear down my stage? I must make you compensate me..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding female fans immediately boiled with excitement.
"Brother is so domineering! I love Brother the most!"
"So Brother is this handsome even when he's angry; I really like Brother more and more!"
"It's okay, Brother, even without a stage, you are still the most handsome trainee in the whole world!"
"My heart only beats for Brother, Brother's tentacles only wiggle for me..."
"My baby~ Jini is so beautiful, oh yeah..."
"I will never marry anyone but Brother Cai Kun in this life!"
Seeing his fans so infatuated with him, Cai Kun didn't say a word and immediately performed another set of spoken and sung 'Iron Mountain Shoulder' on the spot, directly making those female fans so dizzy with infatuation that they didn't even know their own mothers.
However, after the performance, Cai Kun did not forget about the matter of someone tearing down his stage and rushed towards the Western District without hesitation.
And behind him, a group of fanatical female fans followed closely!
At this very moment.
It was not just the Kang City General Chamber of Commerce and Cai Kun.
Other factions within Kang City were also rushing towards the direction of Puppet City in the Western District.
Even Qin Hao sent people over.
A few minutes later.
Li Dala and Song She were the first to arrive at the now-ruined Puppet City on their clay bird.
The two searched in the air for a while.
Wherever they looked, there was only scorched earth and corpses.
"Puppet City is actually destroyed..."
Li Dala looked at the debris and ruins below with a heavy heart, his expression looking very ugly.
Song She didn't speak, just silently scanned below, trying to find traces of Jiang Chen.
When the two arrived above the headquarters of Puppet City,
Li Dala immediately dismissed the clay bird and jumped down from the sky with Song She.
At this moment, the headquarters of Puppet City had been blown beyond recognition.
There were broken walls and ruins everywhere.
And those Puppeteers who didn't manage to escape had now all turned into scorched corpses lying on the ground, a tragic sight to behold.
"Old Granny Yan buried hundreds of tons of explosives and hundreds of thousands of explosive tags under this Puppet City years ago. If these things were detonated together, the power would be comparable to a small nuclear bomb. Within the explosion range, it is absolutely impossible for there to be any survivors..."
Li Dala muttered with a heavy face.
When Old Granny Yan was setting these things up years ago, in order to maximize the power of the explosion, she had asked him for advice on the placement distance and dosage of the explosive tags and explosives.
Therefore, he was the one who understood the explosive power of this Puppet City the best.
Once this Puppet City was detonated,
even those max-level Kage-level Contractors would find it hard to escape unscathed.
Although Jiang Chen was a Super-Kage Level Contractor,
he was not high-level yet, after all.
It was estimated that it would also be very difficult for him to survive the massive explosion that had just occurred.
Moreover,
Most Contractors share a common weakness.
That is, high attack but low defense.
Even those Contractors who specialize in Taijutsu cannot withstand the direct damage caused by an explosion.
However,
Just as Li Dala finished speaking,
a sudden movement came from a pile of rubble and debris beside him.
It was as if something was struggling to break free from within.
"Someone's still alive..."
Li Dala and Song She were about to step forward to investigate.
Unexpectedly, in the next second,
the pile of debris was suddenly pushed aside by a massive hand burning with black flames, sending a shower of stones flying.
The two immediately stopped in their tracks and stared intently.
Within the ruins, a skeletal frame completely covered in black flames appeared before them.
As the black flames receded,
the skeleton dissipated.
The figures of Jiang Chen and Lei Li then appeared before them.
Li Dala was completely stunned.
Because he realized that at this moment, Jiang Chen and Lei Li were actually completely unharmed!
