“What’s going on?”
“What’s the commotion outside?”
Jia An, who was having a merry time inside the room, heard the shouts from outside, and instinctively wanted to get up and see what was going on.
The next moment!
A peculiar fireball, shimmering blue at the center and dark red overall, just palm-sized, blasted through the window and flew in from the outside.
“What is this?”
The group felt a hint of puzzlement in their hearts, and before they could react, the fireball exploded suddenly. A terrifying force swept across the room, swallowing them in an instant.
Boom!
Intense flames erupted from the room, tearing the house to shreds in an instant.
The loud explosion quickly spread throughout the Marketplace.
Jia An and others at the epicenter didn’t even have time to scream before they were torn apart by the shockwave.
Bang!
Even Xu Mu, who had made earlier preparations and ran off, while activating an Amulet, was still thrown dozens of meters away by the shockwave. When he landed, his back was scorching hot, and half of his body was numb.
The patrol team member who spotted him earlier wasn’t so fortunate.
Now he lay on the ground, dead or alive unknown!
“Damn! The power is too strong!”
Seeing the ten-meter-wide crater blasted by the explosion and the houses within a hundred meters razed as if bombarded by cannon fire, Xu Mu was stunned.
He knew that the compressed fireball would be powerful, but he didn’t expect it to be this powerful.
Originally, he just wanted to kill Jia An and the others, then stir up further chaos as a diversive measure.
But he hadn’t expected that a single compressed fireball would wipe out half of the patrol team.
Other than Jia An and the others who were blasted to ash, the nearby area was full of debris and ruins, while the ground was strewn with dismembered limbs and moaning patrol team members.
“Bastard! I’m going to kill you!”
Just as Xu Mu was deciding whether to silence these people or just run away, a figure donned in silver armor leaped into the sky from the rubble.
He stood on a teal-colored flying sword, with his hair disheveled and looking utterly wretched, glared murderously at Xu Mu.
Given the aura he was not concealing, he was definitely a high-level cultivator in Qi Cultivation Late Stage.
This person was likely Captain Luo that Jia An had mentioned!
Xu Mu didn’t hesitate, his fingers formed a seal, instantly generating dozens of fire knives, and shot them at the silver-armored man.
The second he released the fire knives, he swallowed two Qi Replenishing Pills and turned to run.
The one being able to manage an entire patrol team surely must be a trusted member of a large family, or even possibly a direct descendant.
Having witnessed the power of the Chief of Chi Family, Xu Mu knew how formidable a large family’s descendants could be. The person before him had a higher cultivation level, and his power was unknown. For safety, Xu Mu decided it was best to take flight.
The silver-armored man was indeed Luo Xu, the Captain Luo mentioned by Jia An. He was also a direct descendant of the Luo family, a Foundation Establishment Family that had recently moved in.
His grandfather was the Luo Family’s Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor, and his father was the current head of the Luo Family.
The reason he was assigned to the Patrol Team was firstly, to avoid sending him to the battlefield and secondly, to temper him.
Not long ago, while he was meditating in his room, he was blown away by the sudden explosion.
Because his cultivation was suddenly interrupted, he sustained some internal injuries, which was why he was so angry.
The reason he identified Xu Mu as the culprit was he was the only one standing in the entire scene, and also, Xu Mu wore a black scarf over his face to avoid being identified.
Anyone with a brain could recognize the criminal by his attire.
Driven by his rage, Luo Xu, with the intention of murder, calmed down instantly after seeing the enormous pit made by the compressed fireball.
Oh my god!
This power already far surpasses the Qi Cultivation Stage, okay?
Just as he was contemplating whether to retreat, fire knives formed by Xu Mu had already torn through the air and reached him.
“Insignificant trick!”
Luo Xu’s face went cold, and he immediately activated the defense array on his armor, forming a layer of silvery defensive light.
He recognized that these were merely ordinary fire forms, and theorized they wouldn’t be able to break his armor’s defense.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fire knives exploded the instant they touched the defense artifact, releasing a horrifying impact force.
“How can it be!?!
Startled, Luo Xu didn’t have time to reinforce his defenses. After a bout of intense fluctuations, a crack resounded and his silver light defense was shattered.
The horrible force was applied onto his body, and he spat blood, falling from his flying sword.
Huh?”
Xu Mu, who had already run some distance, turned back to look and suddenly halted.
This man,
does he not seem very powerful?
He hesitated for a split second, again conjuring dozens of fire knives, with a wave of his right hand they tore through the air, shooting towards Luo Xu.
Perhaps killing Jia An could postpone the trouble, but if he didn’t take care of this Captain Luo, more problems were sure to come knocking later.
If he had the chance, he would naturally want to settle this once and for all.
“Damn it! What kind of magic is this?”
With a look of horror on his face, Luo Xu quickly stood up, slapped his pocket and a small silver shield flew out. It instantly expanded, blocking his front.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
