Starting from the center of the Lan Clan compound, if one were to look at it from a high altitude, they would be able to clearly see that violent air current sweeping out in all directions with an unstoppable force!
Everywhere it passed, the entire Lan Clan compound turned into nothingness.
Countless human bodies, upon coming into contact with this air current, suddenly disintegrated in such a bizarre manner without even having the time to scream.
The impact of the explosion rushed out in all directions, leaving behind only a bottomless pit. At the bottom of the pit, there was a burst of dense smoke. Soil fell down, and then water gurgled out …
Then, the water that came out was completely swallowed up by the cracks in the ground that suddenly appeared …
The widest crack was several feet wide and bottomless … Many Lan Clan brothers fell in. This crack actually extended all the way out, as if there was no end to it …
The Lan Clan occupied a very large area, almost taking up one-fifth of Tianlan City! One must know that Tianlan City was a big city with a population of several million!
But this huge explosion instantly razed the entire Lan Clan to the ground. The aftershocks even spread out, directly affecting the entire Tianlan City!
More than half of the houses collapsed!
The entire Tianlan City became a scene of doomsday.
The explosion passed. But the surroundings were as quiet as a ghost town. Everyone collectively lost their voices under such tremors. Only that extremely huge mushroom cloud in the sky was still rising slowly, rolling and surging toward the horizon …
Lan Buhui stood high up in the sky, bleeding from his seven orifices. Under such a sudden tremor, he had also temporarily lost his hearing. In fact, his internal organs had even suffered very serious injuries from the tremor.
But he didn't treat his injuries. He merely stood high up in the sky, his expression calm and blank, his gaze sorrowful and desolate as he looked down at the chaos below.
The Lan Clan was gone!
Under such a concentrated and cruel blow, the Lan Clan had very thoroughly turned into history!
Only less than 30 Supreme Martial Artists were able to escape from this huge explosion. Even the current clan leader, Lan Yingfeng, had also died in this chaos!
Even these 30 Supreme Martial Artists who were born were all injured and battered. All of them were dumbfounded like ducks that had been struck by lightning. They weren't mentally prepared at all for something like this to happen to their clan!
Never would they have thought that a big clan with tens of thousands of people would be gone just like that.
Crack … Plop …
Mud and stones continued to fall from the cracks in the ground, and the dust slowly began to dissipate, revealing the terrified and incredulous faces of the crowd.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" One of the Supreme Martial Artists suddenly knelt down on the ground and roared towards the sky, "Oh my god … What's going on … What's going on!!"
"My grandson … My son … My …" Another Supreme Martial Artist was bleeding from his seven orifices. He only managed to utter half a word before he fainted.
For a moment, the messy Lan Clan compound was filled with cries and shouts.
As long as one was human, one had roots. With roots, there was a sense of belonging!
The Lan Clan was the root of these people and where they belonged.
There were often people who questioned the idea of blind loyalty in ancient times. That was because they didn't understand that under special circumstances, a place that could shelter them from the wind and rain, a place where they could eat hot tea and have family … was the root!
It was belonging!
As long as a group of people moved in the same direction, you would naturally have a goal in life if you were in the group.
This was the joy of life.
Now that the Lan Clan compound had been destroyed and tens of thousands of people had been annihilated, it was equivalent to taking away the backbone of these people, causing them to lose the direction and goal to move forward. This feeling was really hard to describe.
In such a state of mind, even the hatred in their hearts couldn't suppress that feeling of 'utter despair'! That was the feeling of being completely hollowed out from their thoughts to their hearts and souls.
It was only after a long while that some of them finally regained their hearing. They kept looking in front of them, looking around in disbelief, as if they still couldn't believe that the home they had spent their whole lives in was gone just like that.
Lan Buhui heaved a long sigh in the air, but he spat out a mouthful of blood that he had been suppressing.
"Clean up the mess … and wait," Lan Buhui said somewhat despondently. Then, with a flash, he disappeared.
…
The explosives were too powerful!
Mo Tianji's estimation had always been to suppress his own strength and increase the enemy's strength. Therefore, even though he had already tried his best to overestimate the power of the explosives, he still didn't expect that 20,000 kilograms of explosives would actually be so powerful when they exploded together.
According to his estimation, 500 kilograms of explosives could destroy a house; 10 kilograms would be able to blow up a small courtyard; 100 kilograms would be able to collapse a small hill; 1,000 kilograms … would be able to destroy a large mountain.
But there were some things that Mo Tianji couldn't calculate with his current conditions.
For example, the power of the explosives.
500 kilograms of explosives was different from 100 kilograms. The power of 2,000 kilograms of explosives and 20,000 kilograms of explosives wasn't as simple as multiplying the power of 2,000 kilograms by 10.
In other words, even if the power of 2,000 kilograms of explosives was multiplied by 100 … it definitely wouldn't be as powerful as the power of 20,000 kilograms of explosives exploding together! And it was far inferior.
Gu Duxing had just held onto Mo Tianji and held up that strange shield when he felt as if the whole sky was collapsing behind him. He held on with all his might. Both of them channeled all their cultivation into the shield to withstand the violent impact. The powerful impact slammed onto the shield. Then, both of them lost consciousness. They only knew how to hold on to the shield and flew out.
They didn't know how far they had gone, but in Gu Duxing's blurry consciousness, they had flown over two to three mountains.
With a loud bang, the two of them landed solidly in a forest. Branches and branches flew everywhere at once. Both of them fell from the treetops. By the time they landed on the ground, they were already in a daze.
Gu Duxing woke up immediately. The first thing he did was to check on Mo Tianji. He pinched him hard. After a long time, Mo Tianji woke up. He blinked and suddenly sighed. "How could it be wrong? I've clearly calculated it a few hundred times … There's no problem at all … "
Gu Duxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This guy was actually still thinking about such things at this juncture.
He took the shield and saw that the back of the shield had already been burned and smashed into a mess. The shield that was originally thick and heavy was now almost like a cicada's wing …
If the explosion had been a little more powerful, this shield would have been destroyed … If that was the case, Gu Duxing and Mo Tianji would inevitably be buried together with the Lan Clan …
Mo Tianji looked at the shield and gasped. "This … is a little unexpected."
Gu Duxing was speechless. "Tianji … You've really gone too far this time … I reckon that this time, the whole Tianlan City will be gone …"
Mo Tianji coughed. There was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
"How did you come up with this thing?" Gu Duxing made an explosion gesture, indicating the explosives.
Mo Tianji coughed and said, "That time when I went to the Lower Three Heavens, I accidentally heard firecrackers … So it was to welcome guests. Out of curiosity, I looked it up and verified the formula … Then I realized that although this thing has long existed in the Lower Three Heavens, it's usually used for etiquette, welcoming guests, festive fireworks and so on …"
"Its biggest use is to attack cities. But the effect of attacking cities is not very obvious. I felt that it was a bit of a waste. How can such a powerful thing not be of much use? "
Mo Tianji coughed. "So when I came back that time, I started to study it. I changed the formula seven or eight times and realized that the power of the explosion could be increased completely …"
Gu Duxing was flabbergasted. "You came up with this thing just like that?"
Mo Tianji sighed. "Yes. Later on, I realized that although this thing is powerful enough, it's not very useful to Martial Saints, Emperors and Monarchs. After all … who would be so silly as to stand there and wait for you to blow them up? So I put it down. This time, it was to blow up the passageway … that's why I came up with this idea on the spur of the moment. "
Gu Duxing sighed, speechless.
He destroyed one of the Great Clans with just this idea?
"How much of this thing do you have left?" Gu Duxing took a breath and asked.
"No more …" Mo Tianji spread out his hands. "It's been a few years and I've only made this much. And this time, I was afraid that it wouldn't be enough, so I used all of it … I really didn't expect that even a shield made of meteoric iron and star mithril would almost fail to block it …"
Gu Duxing took a deep breath as if he had a toothache.
A few years' worth of stockpiled explosives went off just like that …
Seeing this kind of power, and thinking about how Mo Tianji had always been carrying this 20,000 kilograms of explosives with him and the others, even with Gu Duxing's current mental fortitude, he couldn't help but feel weak in the calves.
Oh my god …
If it … exploded, then, what kind of calamity would there be? Everyone would have to give up …
Mo Tianji continued, "This shield is the heirloom of Xie Danqiong's clan. I took it to take a look and realized that it can make use of the wind, especially when running with the wind. As long as there's wind behind it, a person can even float with the help of the shield. And it's extremely sturdy. This time, as long as we hold the shield, we can ride the wind and roam the world. And then, we can also take a look at the scenery of the explosion … "
Gu Duxing's face became distorted.
Scenery …
Just a little bit more and the two of us would have gone to the palace of the King of Hell to take a look at the scenery … Although Big Brother's nickname is King of Hell Chu, he's not really the King of Hell …
Regarding the current situation, Gu Duxing could only rejoice. But he also felt a little guilty in his heart.
"Tianji, this time, we've really gone too far." Gu Duxing said, "Many innocent people have died."
Mo Tianji was silent for a while. A hint of guilt flashed in his eyes. He said quietly, "Maybe it's too much … But, it's also worth it."
Gu Duxing sighed. The power of the explosives was completely out of his expectations. He really couldn't blame Mo Tianji for anything.
"The Lan Clan is perverse and tyrannical. Now that they're dead, it can be considered as getting rid of evil for the people." Mo Tianji smiled coldly.
"Under the oppression of the Lan Clan, there are also many people here … They're all good men. They'd rather fight to the death. But … the reality is that even if they fought to the death, it's useless … This bunch of people, now that they've died here, they should be happy too, right? Perishing together with these scum … can be considered to have died a worthy death. "
Mo Tianji said indifferently, "As for those who don't even dare to think of fighting back … Such cowards. What's the difference between being alive and dead?"
…
I've had a cold for a few days. I didn't dare to tell everyone because I was afraid that someone would say something about me, Lin Daiyu … Cough, I've sweated a lot today. I feel much better. I'll report this to everyone.
