Thinner Than Paper
Black Dragon looked at the fuse on the metal balls. Wasn't this the kind of bomb that only appeared in the Modern Realm during wartime?
Who knew how Ye Zichen had managed to develop such a bomb? All Gu Li could think of now was how to ensure his own safety in such a narrow space.
Without experiencing it firsthand, he would never know how powerful it was.
Gu Li didn't think too much about it. He focused all his spiritual energy on defense.
Bomb?
This was a completely new term for Black Dragon. He sensed no threat from the metal balls at all.
They were made of ordinary materials and didn't look particularly good.
However, when he saw Gu Li's terrified expression, Black Dragon's heart was filled with questions.
What the hell was a bomb?
However, with a massive explosion, he lost the ability to think.
"Everyone, focus your spiritual energy on defense!"
The instant the explosions occurred, Black Dragon roared at his surroundings. The demons weren't idiots. When they sensed the first wave of explosions, they'd already focused all their spiritual energy on defense.
However, it was already too late to think about defense.
Bombs exploded one after another. The white tigers and phoenix clansmen standing in ambush on either side of the canyon continued to throw explosive bombs down below.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Explosions filled Black Dragon's ears. This was the first time the metal balls had appeared before him. At first, he'd thought they posed no threat at all.
Now, they'd left an indelible mark on his heart.
"Blow them up!"
Ye Zichen stood at the top of the gorge and continuously roared. The group of White Tiger and Fire Phoenix clansmen also threw the bombs into the canyon with all their might.
Boom!
Amidst the roar of the bombs, the ten-meter-wide canyon was so narrow for the demons.
They focused all their strength on defense, but under the intense bombardment, the barriers they'd erected shattered one after another.
Blood and flesh flew through the air amid the flames.
Mournful screams reverberated through the valley as countless Devil Race clansmen died in the explosions.
Black Dragon's eyes bulged out of their sockets. He watched his clansmen die one after another. His eyes were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
The explosion of these bombs was negligible to him, but those Human Immortal Stage clansmen, those early Heaven Immortal Stage clansmen, they would all be buried here.
"Ye Zichen."
Smoke filled the air and flames filled the sky.
Black Dragon clenched his teeth and looked through the smoke above the valley at Ye Zichen, who was above the valley.
"Black Dragon, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and save them!"
At this moment, a forceful shout suddenly rang out in the sky. The familiar voice caused Black Dragon to turn around and see Li Min 'e pushing Su Yiyun into the valley. He was currently setting up a spirit formation as fast as he could.
"Brother, Brother Su, why are you here?"
After a brief hesitation, the Black Dragon could not help but ask.
"You're still talking about me? If I hadn't come, the Devil Race would have been destroyed by your hands."
Su Yiyun's brows were tightly knitted together. Wave after wave of spirit energy shot out from his hands, detonating all the bombs thrown from above the canyon in midair.
"What are you waiting for? I can't hold on much longer. These are your clansmen. Are you going to watch them die? "
Su Yiyun roared. After a long while, Black Dragon finally came to his senses. He slapped the ground and erected a thick defensive barrier above the canyon.
The bombs that fell from the sky all exploded on the barrier, but the barrier still stood firm in the void.
"Phew."
Su Yiyun finally let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat off his face with a trembling handkerchief.
"Alright, stop."
When he saw that the bombs had no effect, Ye Zichen gestured for the White Tigers and Fire Phoenixes to stop. If Black Dragon insisted on protecting his clansmen, then no matter how many bombs they had, they wouldn't be able to break through his defenses.
He looked into the distance. Su Yiyun had appeared to stop the demons' losses, and Black Dragon had erected a defensive barrier to stop the bombs' damage.
Even so, that short explosion still caused the Devil Clan's troops to decrease sharply.
More than forty percent of them had died in the explosion. Most of them were human immortals, with only a few early-stage sky immortals.
As for the remaining sixty percent, most of them had suffered light injuries, but many of them were heavily injured.
Only those at or above the mid-stage sky immortal level had survived. However, there were far too few experts at that level.
It was fair to say that this ambush had caused the demons to lose at least seventy percent of their forces.
This ambush could be considered a success, right?
However, if Su Yiyun hadn't come, the results might have been even better.
"Ol 'Three."
Ye Zichen stood in the canyon and gazed down at Su Yiyun, who sat on a chair, wiping away his sweat. It seemed he didn't have much time left.
But Ye Zichen really couldn't understand why his former best friend would now stand against the demons and spare no effort to help them fight back.
Friendship was thinner than paper.
Was that really the case?
Ye Zichen inexplicably thought back to his college days, when they'd worn baggy underwear, drank beer, and talked big in their dorm rooms.
There was no turning back. On the day they'd all left …..
They'd all ended.
"Let's go."
Ye Zichen let out a long sigh, then turned around.
The white tigers and fire phoenixes were having a blast. This was the first time they'd ever seen a secret treasure like explosives. This was new to them, especially when they saw the scope and power of the explosions. They watched the demons flee in panic and wail in pain.
How satisfying.
They hadn't even thrown their bombs yet, but they heard that Ye Zichen had stopped.
They'd thought he'd wait until Black Dragon's barrier was gone, but to their surprise, they'd be retreating.
"Emperor Ye, are we leaving just like that? Even if they are Immortal King level experts, they won't be able to sustain such a large-scale protective barrier for long. "
The white tigers tried to comfort him, but Ye Zichen smiled calmly at them.
"These bombs are only effective when they least expect it. Now that they've seen its power, they'll definitely be on high alert. Besides, we've already blown up most of the human immortal level demons below. Throwing more won't have much of an effect. Furthermore, if we delay any longer, we might be in danger. "
"Understood."
As soon as Ye Zichen finished speaking, the white tiger nodded. Then he turned to his clansmen lying in ambush and shouted, "Retreat."
"Retreat."
