"You little beast, you've been too arrogant. Even if you have the Royal Family backing you today, you must still die!" Ling Ye was almost blinded by his rage, and all he wanted was to crush these damned little beasts to ashes.
Ling Ye made his move. In his eyes, killing a few young people who hadn't even reached the Heaven-breaking Realm was an honor for them.
"Get down!" As he took his first step, Zhang nglong imdiately covered his ears with his hands and dropped to the ground.
Seeing Zhang nglong's actions, Qi Xiu and the others did not hesitate to imitate him and lay down as well.
"What's wrong?" Ling Ye looked at their strange behavior and suddenly showed a puzzled expression.
"Sothing's wrong! There's sothing strange!" The mont he stepped down, Ling Ye felt the soil beneath him was sowhat peculiar. The ground in this area was particularly loose, as if it had just been stirred, but this kind of looseness was definitely not like the feeling after a farr plows the field.
"There's a trap!" As soone who has been in the Sacred Gold Dynasty for so long, if he couldn't recognize this, he would probably have died countless tis in the open and secret struggles.
He imdiately used Mystic Qi to form armor, creating an impenetrable protection around him. On this continent, even in the most powerful dynasty, ordinary soldiers using conventional weapons are just similar to bows and arrows. Unless it's extrely advanced spiritual weapons, it's extrely difficult to harm soone like him in the Heaven-breaking Realm.
Besides, powerful spiritual weapons need soone to wield them. As for setting traps, he didn't even consider it a threat, and forming Mystic Qi armor was just a precaution.
"Boom!" As expected, in the next mont, the ground beneath him suddenly exploded, and a powerful energy surge blasted him into the air.
Yet before he could stabilize himself, a second explosion occurred!
"Crack!" His Mystic Qi armor was shattered by this explosion, leaving cracks all over! The Mystic Qi armor was strong enough to withstand the full-force attack of a True Martial Realm ninth-stage martial artist, and even regular Heaven-breaking Realm martial artists couldn't easily break it.
This indicated that the explosion's power had reached at least the level of a Heaven-breaking Realm martial artist's attack. He had been in the Sacred Gold Dynasty for decades and had never heard of a weapon this powerful.
The area across the river instantly beca a bombing zone, and Ling Ye was tossed around in the air like a balloon.
"Brother Zhang, what exactly did you do there?" Qi Xiu asked in shock.
It appeared that Zhang nglong had set up a massive minefield in that area, yet in this world, gunpowder mines hurting Body Refining Realm martial artists was already remarkable, while even the Mystic Qi armor of True Martial Realm martial artists might not withstand it. Was the power not a hundred tis more?
Zhang nglong took out a spherical object from himself, which was a type of mine created using rune knowledge. Its material was sothing called a Lieyang Crystal, and its energy lay between Xuan Crystals and Tian Yang Crystals.
Unlike Xuan and Tian Yang Crystals, its energy is emitted in a way similar to radiation. However, due to the violent nature of the energy, it cannot be used for martial artists' Mystic Qi cultivation.
Yet because of this violent energy, it's an excellent material for Body Refinent for martial artists.
Once, so people thought of making it into bomb-like weapons, but its energy release was too slow. Unless violently breaking its shell, requiring more destructive power than the energy it could release.
Yet Zhang nglong could use runes to directly unleash all the energy of the Lieyang Crystal, causing the slowly released energy to erupt instantly. In other words, the rune acted like a program that Zhang nglong could set conditions to activate.
...
"What happened?"
The huge explosion even attracted the attention of Lingyun City's residents, who all looked towards the flas, not knowing what had happened.
"Could it be that the people from the Cold Moon Dynasty have attacked?" soone speculated, as Lingyun City is located on the edge of the Sacred Gold Dynasty, and the Cold Moon Dynasty is the closest dynasty to them.
"I doubt it. Our two dynasties have relatively good relations, with even so intermarriage."
"That direction seems like the agriculture zone; could it be those mongrels from Lingyun Sect causing trouble again?"
"Let's go and see!"
So daring residents gathered in groups to head towards the direction of the explosion.
Yet just as they reached the edge of the agriculture zone, the shockwave from the explosion prevented them from moving forward. It was as if a crazed assault by a Heaven-breaking Realm martial artist was pounding a specific area, and even its aftermath could not be withstood by ordinary Lingyun City residents.
"Comrade, what exactly happened here?" the city's residents asked.
"We don't know either," the farrs and herdsn were just as confused. "We were sleeping at ho, and suddenly these explosions ca from outside."
"Look, seems like there's a silhouette?" they noticed a silhouette flying back and forth among the flas.
"Mom, that looks fun."
"Such powerful shockwaves, and soone could withstand it? Must be a very powerful martial artist."
"What exactly happened here?"
...
The explosions lasted a full five minutes, and the wasteland across the bridge was turned into a scorched area, even with white smoke like lava emanating from it. Only then did the residents dare to get a little closer to that area.
Not far from the center of the explosion laid a greyish silhouette, unclear whether dead or alive.
On a crooked tree nearby, the disciples of Lingyun Sect were dumbfounded, having thought Ling Ye's arrival ant they were saved, only for a blast of divine thunder and fire to bury their hopes.
"Make way, make way," Zhang nglong led Qi Xiu and the others out from a pile of grass nearby. Perhaps because they were too close, they were a bit filthy with dirt, but their faces were radiating excitent.
"It's Mr. Zhang and them!" The villagers quickly made way for Zhang nglong and his crew.
"Is he dead?" Qi Xiu approached to check.
"Seems he's still breathing," Zhang nglong sensed a faint breath from Ling Ye, "This old geezer sure resisted the blast well!"
Ling Ye's body had no intact skin left. He strained to open his eyes, staring at Zhang nglong with an accusatory look, "You little beast, you lied!"
"What are you talking about? I really don't understand," Zhang nglong put on a thoroughly innocent look. "I noticed this agriculture zone's transportation isn't great, so I decided to take it over. There should be a road for
to conveniently transport my goods, right?
"I rely wanted to renovate the road, so I planned to use bombs. You're blaming
now?" Zhang nglong picked up a palm-sized sign and held it to him.
On the sign, in letters so small they could only be read with a magnifying glass, it said: Caution, there's a bomb ahead, please pay attention.
"Who the hell could read that?" Even Qi Xiu inwardly cursed Zhang nglong's shalessness.
"See, I warned you, huh? Who told you not to watch where you're going?"
