Chapter 581: Big Explosion!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As the saying went, when immortals fought, the ones who suffered were mortals. As the two Thousand Year Kings fought in the air, the civilians below were extremely frightened.

The Qi produced by the fight was scary even to Hundred Year realm Third Layer cultivators, not to mention ordinary civilians.

"What is going on? Who dares to fight above the city!?"

"Where's our city lord? Why isn't the city lord here yet?!"

"Don't be stupid. Quickly, run before it's too late. The energy generated by the two Thousand Year Kings' duel is enough to flatten this area!"

Many onlookers stared at the sky above and discussed the fight. As soon as one onlooker pointed out the dangers of staying below the battle, everyone scurried off to somewhere safe.

"Bang!"

A huge mushroom cloud rose up into the sky, sending waves of energy in all directions, dissipating every cloud within an area of ten square kilometers!

The light rays shining down were so strong that it was as though there was another sun in the sky.

"Die!"

Gu San Sheng charged out from the explosion with cuts all over his golden skin.

Gu San Sheng didn't expect the Demonic Beast to use such a strange spirit power. If it weren't for his special state, he would've suffered serious damage or died!

Because of this, Gu San Sheng was even more infuriated. With glaring eyes, Gu San Sheng transformed his bent sword into a hammer, and pounced down on the gangster rabbit Gu Qi!

"Dang!"

The gangster rabbit Gu Qi did not show any signs of stopping as it charged at the hammer with its sword.

Upon the collision, the sky was instantly filled with clashing sounds. Both parties would tremble and stumble backwards from the impact every time they clashed.

So sick! Where did this rabbit come from, and how is it so perfect!?

Gu San Sheng was worse off as his injuries multiplied with each attack by the gangster rabbit. The gangster rabbit was like a perfect killer machine: fast, powerful, and skillful!

Even the Demonic Beast's spirit power was unique. All three spirit power moves executed by the gangster rabbit were new to Gu San Sheng!

One had to know that very few could gain more than one type of spirit power, yet the Demonic Beast was able to display three types thereof. This made Gu San Sheng very jealous.

Judging by the Demonic Beast's speed, Gu San Sheng had thought its forte was speed and thus his strength would be superior. It turned out he was wrong—not only was the Demonic Beast fast, it was also strong. Now, he could only wait for his army to arrive.

When his hammer landed on the opponent, Gu San Sheng excitedly let out a howl, thinking that his Dharma Idol move would crush the demonic beast.

However, the result was unexpected. The Demonic Beast's strength was much stronger than his own!

Why isn't the army here yet? It won't do! If this continues, I'll die from exhaustion!

Gu San Sheng was starting to feel anxious.

But, the situation was not one where he could choose to leave or stay. Turning his back to his enemy could be a faster way to die!

"Dang!"

"Ji-ji!"

The duo exchanged moves once again, and the gangster rabbit Gu Qi felt more and more excited with every move.

"Plated Gold, Piercing Needles Attack!"

As the fight became more intense, Gu San Sheng fired countless golden needles with one thought, targeting the gangster rabbit Gu Qi's eyes!

"Ding, ding!"

The gangster rabbit Gu Qi did not want to underestimate its enemy, so it quickly withdrew its sword. With a swing, the golden needles were rendered useless.

Gu San Sheng jumped to a further place in the opposite direction, his body enshrouded by a shield as he shouted to the gangster rabbit tauntingly, "Haha, die now! Explosion!"

"Bang!"

The gangster rabbit's expression changed as it sensed a bout of energy surging beside its body. A black ball laced with electricity bolts was charged with energy, leaking silverish liquid. Before Gu Qi could react, the black ball exploded!

A mushroom cloud the size of two soccer fields rose into the sky, spreading energy waves in all directions. Even though it exploded high in the sky, the impact was big enough to turn the city below upside down.

Be it cultivators or civilians, all could not help but gape in disbelief at the sight of the terrifying explosion.

"Ah, maniacs, so lawless!"

"Using lethal weapons above the city is too disregarding of people's lives!"

At the point of explosion, the entire city turned quiet. Everyone just stared at the blinding lights up in the sky and the mushroom cloud before starting to discuss it fervently. In a matter of seconds, the entire San Chuan City became a noisy pub, filled with all sorts of noises!

Many people shuddered at the thought that they could have died earlier on.

Such terrifying explosiveness. If the explosion had occurred on the ground instead of in the air, what would have happened? It would have wiped out more than half of the city's population!

Even a Thousand Year King would turn to dust if he stayed in the center of the explosion. Outside the center of the explosion, no one weaker than half-step Thousand Year King realm cultivators would survive.

"Haha, let's see if you will die under my Godly Thunder Strike!"

Even standing outside the explosion's epicenter would result in cuts all over one's body, appearing like a cracked vase ready to break into pieces. Thinking of that alone made Gu San Sheng very happy despite coughing blood.

This Demonic Beast is so hard to get rid of. If not for my Godly Thunder Strike, the person going to die would be me! Gu San Sheng consoled himself.

Back in the Lu Manor, many guards were worried. Lu Bu, however, was confident of Gu Qi's capabilities, and therefore did not follow suit. Now that a mushroom cloud had appeared, Lu Bu had an even clearer picture.

"The noise came from the direction which Gu Qi flew in. Is he going to be alright?"

"Based on Gu Qi's skills, what is there to worry? Shall we go over to take a look?" another person asked Lu Bu.

"Alright, you all guard the Lu Family. I will return shortly." Lu Bu decided to take a look and prepared to leave.

"Lu Bu, what exactly happened?" Bei Feng appeared, wearing a long white cloak, his hair disheveled.

"Greetings, Family Head. The city lord came to visit, and offended Gu Qi on his way out of our manor. Thus, Gu Qi decided to give chase. I believe the explosions are related to them, so I am a bit worried." Lu Bu and the gang greeted Bei Feng and explained the situation.

Bei Feng was going to say something when a smile broke out on his face. He then calmly said, "Don't worry, Gu Qi will settle it properly."

"Yes."

The surprised Lu Bu and the gang listened to the order.

"City Lord, your subordinates here deserve to be punished." A troop of armored guards holding spears rushed over to greet Gu San Sheng.

Gu San Sheng's face darkened as he said, "You deserve to be punished, but not now. Get up first. Now is your chance to make it up to me. Exterminate the Lu Family, leave none alive!"

"Yes Sir! We will complete our mission!" the same guard replied with confidence.

Hearing the voices of countless civilians coming from below, Gu San Sheng announced in a dignified voice, "The Lu Family of San Chuan City has rebelled, conspiring with Demonic Beasts to kill me, the city lord. I have already given the order for their extermination!"

"What? The Lu Family conspired with Demonic Beasts?"

"No wonder the Lu Family had two Demonic Beasts to deal with the Zeng Family. They are really ambitious wolves!"

"Better for them to be dead. Rules have been set this way in San Chuan City for millennia, yet now a small Lu Family dare to challenge them. Haha, seeking death."

After the announcement, the public started to calm down, and began to gossip. Many believed what the city lord had said.

Some families were also worried that if the Lu Family succeeded in killing the city lord, then there would be a chance for them to become the next victim.

The huge mushroom cloud did not dissipate for some time. Purple lightning bolts could be seen shining across the sky at times, making those who entered the area below it shudder in fear.

Gu San Sheng swallowed a pill which calmed his blood Qi down, and thought to himself, Now is the time to exterminate the Lu Family. I shall see what else the Lu Family can do!

"Han Bing, I want all of Lu Family captured and brought to my dungeon. I want to interrogate them personally," Gu San Sheng instructed the kneeling guard.

"Yes." Han Bing nodded.

Gu San Sheng turned around and prepared to leave as he could not be bothered with the gangster rabbit anymore. He believed that the gangster rabbit was bound to have turned into dust with his move. Leaving his guard Han Bing to settle the rest, Gu San Sheng returned to his manor to recuperate.
