Black gunpowder was highly sensitive and easily flammable. It could be ignited with just a small spark, and it was extremely destructive.
When a unit of gunpowder was ignited, its temperature could reach more than a thousand degrees Celsius, and its volume could expand nearly ten thousand times, causing a violent explosion.
These descriptions were what Li Yi had read from books.
If the gunpowder was mixed with iron pieces, when it exploded, the power would be no less than that of a bullet, and it could easily penetrate a human body.
Of course, the books in the library would not describe these things. This kind of sinister method was something Li Yi had learned from a transmigration novel.
Time was tight, and Li Yi did not have the time to do a lot of experiments. After finding the formula of gunpowder from a book in a remote corner, he and Fang and the other two immediately started to prepare it. Fortunately, the process was smooth. This divine tool that had been verified by tens of thousands of transmigrators showed its power for the first time in this world.
A huge pit was blasted on the ground. Within a radius of ten feet from the center of the pit, there was no one alive, and there were countless broken limbs.
The people in the forest who were further away from the center and standing on the periphery were not directly affected by the explosion. However, the bullet-like iron pieces and iron nails had scratched them, and even if the damage was not fatal, it was enough to make them lose their fighting power.
Of course, there were people who were lucky enough to survive, but after personally experiencing the scene just now, the companions who were talking and laughing around them were now corpses on the ground, and the surroundings were like hell. How many people could still muster up the courage?
"Devil, he's a devil …"
A few tall men who were lucky enough to not be injured had pale faces, and their bodies were shaking like a sieve. A fishy smell quickly spread from their lower bodies.
Under that kind of heavenly might, the heroes of the underworld and the martial arts masters were no different from ordinary people.
"The Deadly Scholar!"
Zhu Tufu's shiny head still had a piece of colorful intestine hanging on it. It had flown over from behind when the explosion just now.
His expression was incomparably savage, and his eyes almost split apart from rage. The battle hadn't even started, yet the several tens of men he'd brought with him were almost completely annihilated, and the source of all this was actually the scholar that he'd never looked straight at from the beginning until the end!
"Damn it, he's a spy sent by that woman!" The burly man surnamed Zhou's expression was extremely gloomy. He had never expected that they would be defeated by such a person.
At this time, the scholar had already stood up several zhang away.
Looking at the few figures standing in front of him, there was a black lump on the ground, and there was a bloody lump by his feet that he did not know what it was. Li Yi could not help but feel his stomach churn. In both of his lives, the only person who had died by his hand was Wu Ying. That sound just now was probably equivalent to ten lifetimes of his.
As a person with a modern soul, killing was still a huge psychological burden for him. But just like the time when he was kidnapped by Wu Ying, it was either kill or be killed. This was a very simple question.
Living in such an era, you can be a hero of the underworld, and I can be a lazy county magistrate. No one has it easy, so why make things difficult for each other?
Li Yi was also helpless. Gunpowder was a very dangerous thing to both himself and others. If he was not careful, he might lose his life before he could blow up others.
His goal was actually very low. He just wanted to live well, and the people around him to live well. Was there anything lower than 'living'?
But some people just could not bear to see others live well. What Jianghu, what martial arts world, what heroes of the underworld, if they did not want others to live, then they should all die!
…
…
"The mountains will never change, and the rivers will always flow. Liu Ruyi, Deadly Scholar, I'll come back for your lives in the future!" Zhu Tufu held two boning knives in his hands. He really wanted to rush over and chop the man and woman into pieces to vent his anger, but he could only forcibly suppress this thought.
In a short moment, the strength of both sides had been reversed.
Apart from the four of them who were not injured, the rest of the people were either dead or injured. Those who were not dead or injured had long been scared out of their wits. Even if they were extremely unwilling, they could only retreat first and think about it at length.
With a stamp of his foot, he took the lead and rushed into the darkness behind him.
"There's no need for that."
Just as he was about to rush out of the stockade, a cold voice came from behind.
"How could it be …"
When Zhu Tufu turned around, he only saw a flash of sword light in front of him. Before he could lift the boning knife in his hand, a line of blood appeared on his forehead.
Bang!
When Zhu Tufu's body fell to the ground, the faces of the gloomy man, the burly man surnamed Zhou, and the Third Lady changed dramatically.
One move, only one move!
Zhu Tufu did not even have the time to react. Such speed, such strength …
When the woman turned around to look at the three of them, their hands were tightly gripping their weapons, but they were shocked to find that the thin figure was just standing there casually. To them, it was like an insurmountable mountain!
There was no flaw!
There was only one possibility that could make them feel this way.
Almost instantly, Cui Yan and the Third Lady's eyes suddenly turned to the burly man surnamed Zhou.
Grandmaster, this woman was a Grandmaster!
At this moment, the two of them even wanted to kill the burly man surnamed Zhou.
Who on earth gave him the courage to summon the heroes of the underworld in such a high-profile manner to take the head of a Grandmaster?
Even without the earth-shattering commotion just now, with just the few of them leading a group of weaklings against a Grandmaster who was going all out, even if they could kill him, not many of them would be able to return alive.
Moreover, the other party wasn't alone!
Not to mention the dozens of people with strong auras around her, just the Deadly Scholar alone was enough to send them all to hell before they could see the person in question …
Revenge? Senior Han's disciple? Squire Zhao's reward? All of them could go to hell. At this moment, the most important thing was to stay alive.
Third Lady's speed was the fastest. Before Cui Yan and the man surnamed Zhou could react, she had already rushed down the mountain. The sudden appearance of more than ten silhouettes made her extremely happy. If these people could entangle that woman, it wouldn't be difficult for her to escape tonight.
Just as she was about to escape to the side, a skinny hand grabbed her neck in the darkness.
"Move again and I'll break your neck." The hoarse voice of the old woman rang out. More figures surrounded her from behind.
Further away, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard amidst the flames and flames.
By the time the old woman forced Third Lady's way by the neck, the shadowy man and the burly man surnamed Zhou had already gathered more than ten people who could still stand. As for their companions who were groaning on the ground with broken limbs and could not even stand, they were no longer in the scope of their consideration.
There was a Grandmaster blocking their way, and the people behind them were obviously enemies. After some consideration, they felt that if they fought with the people behind them, they might have a chance of survival. With just the few of them, they would definitely die if they went up against a Grandmaster.
"Kill!"
The shadowy man and the burly man surnamed Zhou looked at each other, then led the remaining people and charged towards the back.
"Stop them, capture them alive!"
The old woman snorted coldly. More than ten figures silently drew their weapons.
