Kaboom!
An earth-shattering explosion resounded. Jiang He, who had flown several thousand meters up, looked down to see the immeasurably shocking sight!
The ten Doom Shrooms exploded almost at the same time. At the moment of explosion, they produced a blazing white light that illuminated the night sky. The pitch-black night instantly became brighter than the day. Immediately after, raging flames rose between heaven and earth, and the sound of rolling thunder could be heard.
The blazing white light, the raging flames, and the red smoke tumbled rapidly in the night sky, growing larger and larger. The fireball formed by the raging flames also grew larger and larger, like an egg that was rapidly expanding.
Above the fireball, a straw-hat-shaped cloud formed, forming a colossal ring-shaped mushroom cloud with the pillar of dust that was kicking up from the ground.
In that very moment, Jiang He felt as if a blazing sun had risen over the horizon.
In the next instant, the sun exploded violently with world-destroying power, a powerful shockwave rippling across every direction. The nearby mountain forests were instantly reduced to nothingness under the shockwave, while the sturdy boulders were directly reduced to a transparent liquid under the heat of over a hundred million degrees Celsius.
Pop …
The Sky Demon Cult's mountain-guarding array did not even last two seconds against the explosion before it shattered.
"What the hell …"
Up in the skies.
Jiang He cried out in surprise.
All he felt was a rolling heatwave crashing towards him from below, and in the next instant, his body was sent flying higher into the night sky uncontrollably.
Though it all seemed to have happened over a long period of time, it actually happened in seconds.
The shockwave of the explosion only faded after several minutes.
Up in the night sky, Jiang He steadied himself and slowly descended, unable to help touching the beads of sweat on his forehead.
When he could clearly see what was happening below …
Gasp!
He could not help inhaling sharply.
The destructive power of the ten Doom Shrooms exploding in an instant was simply frightening. That protective array that could only be broken by a full-fledged Yuan Spirit elite with a premium-grade soul weapon was no different from a toy in front of the ten Doom Shrooms.
Everything within three kilometers from the epicenter of the explosion was reduced to nothingness. Mount Thunder, the tallest mountain in the heartland of Miaojiang … was gone!
These mountain rocks melted into a transparent liquid under the high temperature, leaving a layer of glass-like substance on the ground.
The mountain forests further away were devastated as well, and Jiang He estimated that …
Perhaps only a few of the beasts within a radius of ten kilometers could survive. Even the ancient trees and rocks more than ten kilometers away were turned into a mess by the violent shock wave.
"The Annihilation Shrooms are too scary!"
Jiang He was left in lingering fear.
Fortunately, he hadn't been careless and had risen into the air in advance. He had even used all his defensive means. If he had stayed on the ground, he would have been carbonized and liquefied by now.
What a pity...
After this "Doom Shroom" was planted, there was no "Hold your head and squat down" rule. Otherwise, when he threw the Doom Shroom in the future, he could lie on the ground and personally feel the specific power of the Doom Shroom, as well as the details of the explosion.
Even as the thought crossed his mind, Jiang He looked up at the Sky Demon Cult's great canyon.
The grand canyon was also a mess. Even the houses and buildings in the town that had a rather "ancient style" had all collapsed.
However, the canyon was too long.
The temple and square at the depths of the canyon were almost thirty kilometers away from the epicenter of the explosion, and were not affected too much.
Moreover, the Sky Demon Cult's Saint, the Feral Emperor water snake, and the two cardinals had used some unknown method to retreat to the square the instant the Doom Shroom exploded, avoiding being blown to death.
Jiang He sighed.
What a pity.
How much trouble would be spared if they were blown to death?
If one had to blame something, they could only blame elites of their level for being too sensitive to danger. They had sensed the threat of death a second before the Doom Shroom exploded and promptly retreated. Moreover, the mountain guarding array had bought them over a second, allowing them to avoid the epicenter of the explosion.
Still, would Jiang He give up so easily?
He laughed loudly and flew on his sword. With a flip of his hand, another two Doom Shrooms appeared in his hand. He arrived at the square and said arrogantly, "Didn't you say that it's impossible to break the formation unless one is at the Primordial Spirit Realm? What else do you have to say now that the array is broken? "
"Jiang He!"
One of the Sky Demon Cult's cardinals stood at the edge of the square and looked up at the skies, shuddering as he stared at the two Doom Shrooms in Jiang He's hand. "There are thirteen spies from the Hua Nation's military and the Martial Arts Department (MAD) among those cultists. Do you want to blow them up as well?"
This guy …
He was getting anxious.
Well, who would not be afraid when Jiang He threw the mushrooms and blew them up?
The other Sky Demon Cult's cardinal barked as well, "Jiang He, we are all martial artists. Why don't we fight as martial artists if we dare? What kind of man would we be if we won with nuclear weapons? "
"Tut, tut …"
Jiang He slowly landed and took to the air thirty meters away from the square, unable to hold back a chuckle. "How could you say something so shameless? It must have been hard on you."
As for nuclear weapons …
Jiang He smiled but said nothing.
He clearly planted the mushrooms, so how did they turn into nuclear weapons?
That was when a rank-four female Sky Demon Cultists stepped forward and barked, "Leave us, Mister Jiang! We've already put our lives on the line since the day we accepted this mission …"
"Blow them up, Mister Jiang! It would be worth it to die with so many Sky Demon Cultists!"
The spies from the military and the Martial Arts Department (MAD) stepped forward.
The moment they stepped forward, some of the Sky Demon Cultists made their move. Still, before they could even hand over their weapons …
Whoosh!
A scarlet sword flash flashed, and almost a hundred Sky Demon Cultists were cut down like wheat beside the 'spies'.
"For the Holy Faith! Kill!"
One of the Sky Demon Cult Heavenly Generals bellowed and lunged at Jiang He in a suicidal manner.
Jiang He did not even look at him. When he was ten meters away from him, Jiang He released his mystic energy and killed him.
With a nonchalant toss, the green armor of the Cloudscraper Vine over his body turned into a flash of green light and landed in front of the dozen spies, turning into a massive Cloudscraper Vine in a single second.
Jiang He barked, "Cloudscraper Vine, protect these people!"
Whoosh!
Even as he spoke, Jiang He's figure was already charging towards one of the Sky Demon Cult's Cardinals in a flash. He was not using his Scarlet Flame Sword, martial arts techniques or palm techniques, and was simply throwing out an ordinary straight punch.
The fist rapidly enlarged in the Sky Demon Cult's Cardinal's eyes …
Eventually, pow …
A single punch blew up the divine-tempest pinnacle Sky Demon Cult's Cardinal.
He was so quick that the Cardinal could not dodge at all … of course, he could not even if he wanted to.
Moreover, Jiang He was simply too strong. Having mastered the third-tier of the Nine Heavenly Stars Body Formula, his physical strength alone was equal to Void-pinnacle. Blowing up a divine-tempest martial artist who was around Three Blades Lin's level with a single punch was no different from crushing an ant.
Then, Jiang He turned and charged towards another Sky Demon Cult's Cardinal.
The Cardinal promptly turned to flee, burning his essence and True Qi to burst out with the greatest speed he had in his life in an attempt to escape. Even as he ran, he screamed, "Cardinal, save me …"
Still, would the Sky Demon Cult's Saint care about him?
When she learned that the Dragoncroc Emperor and the Yuan Spirit clone of the ancient daemon cultivator behind it had died to Jiang He's sword, she could no longer muster any will to fight against Jiang He.
At her command, the water serpent beneath her feet took to the air and frantically fled towards the distant horizon.
Even as she fled, the Sky Demon Cult's Saint was left dumbstruck.
"How could this be?"
"How could this be?"
"How could the mountain guarding array be broken …"
Her mind was filled with the image of Jiang He's black mushroom that was even a little funny …
What kind of joke was that?
Mushrooms … could actually explode?
Most importantly, the power of the explosion was no different from a hydrogen bomb. It was simply unbelievable!
"Trying to run?"
Jiang He laughed out loud, and caught up to the Sky Demon Cult's Cardinal in two seconds. After blowing him up with a single punch, he gave chase to the Sky Demon Cult's Saint.
Whoosh!
He charged his mystic energy to the limit with Royal Sword Flight, flying several notches faster than the Sky Demon Cult's Saint even though she was fighting for her life.
"There's no escape …"
The water serpent bellowed, "Master, there's no escape. Go on your own, I'll hold you off …"
Rawr!
It reared its head and bellowed at the skies, promptly turning its head and opening its maw. Black Daemonic Qi churned within its maw and rolled towards Jiang He. A black sword flash was hidden within the Daemonic Qi, and it was so well hidden that not even Jiang He noticed it.
Jiang He punched away the Daemonic Qi, and his pupils tightened …
Snikt!
The black sword flash had stabbed into his chest.
"I've been hit, I've been hit … Master, there's no need to flee. I've already tempered this high-grade demon weapon with the poison within my poison sac for seven years. Not to mention a Golden Core Realm sword cultivator, even a cultivator at the perfection-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm would lose their magic power if they were to be struck by this sword of mine, and their Nascent Soul would disperse …"
Both the water serpent and the Sky Demon Cult's Saint stopped, appearing delighted.
They never imagined that Jiang He, who could slay even the Yuan Spirit clone of the Dragoncroc Emperor and the ancient daemon cultivator, would be so easy to handle!
In that very moment, Jiang He was taken aback as well.
He caught hold of the sword that was entirely black and glinted in pale-blue venomous light, exclaiming in surprise, "A superior-grade daemonic weapon???"
He …
He had obtained a superior-grade daemonic flying sword out of nowhere?
Wouldn't it be another premium-grade soul flying sword if he returned and planted it? His third flying sword, a supreme-grade spiritual weapon, had been gathered so easily?
Though the flying sword was emanating a tremendous force and was trying to escape Jiang He's grasp, how could it escape when it was already in his mouth?
Jiang He's mystic energy surged out to subjugate the pitch-black flying sword and nonchalantly put it away in his System Backpack.
That was when he lowered his head to check his wound.
The sword had been very powerful, and it had actually left a wound that was half an inch deep on his chest.
The wound was not much, but black Qi was beginning to spread around it … clearly, the sword was poisoned.
And yet, Jiang He was not panicking at all.
With a turn of his hand, he took out three Bezoar Detox Pills and swallowed them all at once.
"…"
At the distant horizon.
The water serpent's huge, cold eyes blinked twice.
It …
Was it a little bewildered.
An illusion?
That's right, it must be an illusion!
