194: Chapter 193 Stand Tall 194: Chapter 193 Stand Tall If it had been just Wang Dadong alone, even if he had just stood there, nothing would have happened to him.
But with Goddess Pei added to the mix, the situation was different.
You must realize, each floor of the Jinding building had over three meters of space between them, with thirteen floors, that was more than forty meters total.
Even with Wang Dadong’s hand as a buffer, the strong impact force could have easily broken Pei Xi’s body!
Now, the task at hand was to reduce the speed at which the elevator was descending.
As he was thinking, a strong sense of weightlessness hit, and the elevator had already begun plummeting downward.
At this moment, Pei Xi didn’t have time to think; she could only cling tightly to Wang Dadong’s clothes.
Wang Dadong quickly moved to the elevator doors, said, “Hold on tight,” and then let go of Pei Xi’s hand.
His fingers hooked into the gap of the elevator doors, then he pulled forcefully on both sides.
To his might, the elevator doors were directly forced open by Wang Dadong.
Suddenly, a gust of strong wind blew in, almost making Pei Xi release her grip on Wang Dadong.
Her intense survival instinct made her hold on to Wang Dadong tightly, as letting go would mean death.
The scenery before them flashed by like a rapidly projecting slideshow.
By now, the elevator had already fallen more than a dozen meters.
While the speed wasn’t that great yet, it would only take two to three seconds max for the elevator to crash to the ground.
If the elevator kept falling this way, not to mention the people inside, even the steel-made elevator itself would be smashed into a flat disc.
At that moment, a broken red Thin Sword suddenly appeared in Wang Dadong’s hand, and then he violently thrust it into the concrete wall.
His other hand raised high, forcefully bracing against the top of the elevator door.
The grinding sound made one’s teeth sour as countless sparks burst from the point where the Broken Sword contacted the concrete wall, lighting up the dim elevator shaft like blooming fireworks.
The speed of the rapidly plummeting elevator slowed significantly, but it was still fast, after all, the elevator weighed several tons.
“Stop for me!” Wang Dadong bellowed, and the Broken Sword plunged half an inch deeper into the wall.
At this moment, Wang Dadong’s body was bulging with veins, his face ferocious, one hand holding the sword, the other bracing the elevator’s top, looking like a towering and mighty sovereign of the world.
Feeling the elevator slow down, Pei Xi, who thought she was certainly going to die, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
But she didn’t dare to look back, she didn’t even dare to open her eyes.
A dull thud, and the elevator finally reached the bottom.
The two of them escaped death.
Wang Dadong still intended to say something to Pei Xi.
“Goddess Pei, I hope you can keep today’s incident in the elevator a secret for me,” he said.
After all, what had just happened was too unbelievable.
If he exposed his identity to save Pei Xi, how could he continue to maintain his facade?
“Wha, what incident?” Pei Xi, head lowered, didn’t dare to look into Wang Dadong’s eyes.
It was only then that Pei Xi realized she was still alive!
Knowing that from the thirteenth floor, a drop of over forty meters, and she had survived the elevator plunge – how could this be possible?
There are only two possible scenarios for such an occurrence, one is a miracle, the other is that Wang Dadong slowed down the elevator.
Clearly, it wasn’t a miracle, so the only possibility was that Wang Dadong slowed down the elevator.
Although she had her eyes closed the entire time and didn’t know what method Wang Dadong used, whatever the method, it was certainly not something a normal person could achieve.
“Brother Wang, you wouldn’t happen to be an immortal, would you?” Pei Xi’s eyes shone with a hint of surprise.
After all, if not an immortal, who could safely land an elevator weighing several tons?
Upon hearing this, Wang Dadong’s face twitched, and he said irritably, “Have you ever seen an immortal ?”
After speaking, Wang Dadong raised his right hand, revealing his palm split wide open, bloodied all over.
