Sky-Shaking Explosion

Mu Yu Die's delicate body trembled, and she weakly leaned against the tree trunk, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

All along the way, Luo Hao and Zhao Xin had done their best to protect her. Her ability to persevere until now was also thanks to Luo Hao, her spiritual pillar.

Hearing that both Luo Hao and Zhao Xin were dead, Mu Yu Die's heart overflowed with grief, and she lost the will to even continue fleeing.

Di Ya Lan's eyes seemed to spew fire. Gritting her teeth tightly, she asked with a trembling voice, "Who did this?"

Hu Long's voice choked as he quickly recounted the situation, adding, "Besides the 'Dark Nether' and the Tusk Mercenary Group, the Merchant Alliance's Mo Family should also be involved. The lightning power that guy released wasn't condensed from Essence; it should be the Mo Family's 'Lightning Martial Soul'."

"Tusk Mercenary Group! Dark Nether! Mo Family!" Di Ya Lan gritted her teeth and roared word by word, "I will make them pay!"

Shi Yan frowned. Hearing Hu Long mention the 'Lightning Martial Soul,' he immediately realized that the Mo Family's target might be him.

A strange scent suddenly wafted into his nostrils. Shi Yan stood up abruptly, circled Hu Long, and his face suddenly changed. "Brother Hu Long, you have a strange fragrance on you. You... you shouldn't have survived and escaped. Alas..."

"Kid, what do you mean?" Di Ya Lan glared. "Are you wishing Hu Long were dead?"

Hu Long himself, after a moment of surprise, immediately understood. He gave a tragic smile. "So that's how it is. They spared my life so they could track me. I thought I was just lucky, haha."

With that, Hu Long, without waiting for Di Ya Lan to stop him, suddenly knelt before Mu Yu Die and kowtowed three times. "Miss Mu, please live well! You must avenge us!"

He suddenly stood up and dashed away. His mournful voice, however, carried from afar: "Leave here quickly! Take another path. I'll lure them away and do my best to buy you time."

"Hu Long!" Di Ya Lan and Mu Yu Die cried out together.

"We must leave immediately! Miss Mu, remember the hatred. We must live well!" Shi Yan said with a grim face, extending his hand to Di Ya Lan. "Give me the 'Star Thunder.' You take Miss Mu and leave now. I'll catch up later."

With her friends dying one by one, Di Ya Lan was somewhat beside herself. After a moment of stunned silence, she handed the three 'Star Thunders' to Shi Yan, her voice hoarse. "What do you want to do?"

"To collect some interest for Uncle first!"

Shi Yan's face was like ice. He quickly went to Tu Mu's corpse, held his dagger, and cut open a bloody hole in Tu Mu's abdomen. He first stuffed two 'Star Thunders' inside, then carefully smeared the 'Seven Snake Saliva' on it. After that, he gently turned Tu Mu over, placing him face down on the ground.

"Everyone is curious. When the Tusk Mercenary Group arrives later and sees Tu Mu like this, someone will surely be unable to resist turning Tu Mu over to see what's going on. The 'Star Thunder' will vibrate and explode. What do you think will happen when Tu Mu's body is forcefully flipped over?" Shi Yan sneered.

"I understand," Di Ya Lan said, her face also fierce. "I hope they kill a few more people!"

"I also added poison powder to Tu Mu's body. After the 'Star Thunder' explodes, there should be shattered blades coated with poison powder. As long as someone's skin is cut, they will surely die!" Shi Yan said with a cold expression. "Let's go, we have to live! Only by living can we avenge Uncle!"

"I hope Hu Long is okay," Mu Yu Die murmured, her eyes lost.

Shi Yan sighed inwardly. He knew Hu Long was doomed, but he spoke words of comfort. "Don't worry too much. The traps we set might heavily injure them. We might still have a chance to see Hu Long again."

"Really?"

Mu Yu Die asked weakly. She vaguely knew this was unrealistic but still hoped someone could give her a definite answer, even if it was a lie.

"Yes, he'll be fine," Shi Yan nodded affirmatively, then gestured to Di Ya Lan.

Di Ya Lan understood and immediately stepped forward, scooped up Mu Yu Die, and ran towards the forest.

Shi Yan took a breath, gathered all his strength, and hurried after them.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Dark Nether, the Mo Family, and the Tusk Mercenary Group, three forces, emerged together, following the scent on Hu Long to this place.

"Tu Mu!"

Barnard saw the battle axe next to Tu Mu and immediately realized that the person lying face down was his subordinate. His expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "How is this possible? How could they have killed Tu Mu!"

"Didn't you say that once we arrived, we just needed to separate the man and the woman?" A Nether Moon Envoy from the Dark Nether said with a gloomy expression and a snort. "Fortunately, I left 'Dark Moon Incense' on that kid, or it would have been a lot of trouble finding them."

Barnard's expression was uncertain. He ordered, "Zuo Song, turn Tu Mu over and see what's going on."

"It was that kid who killed him!" Mo Yan Yu whispered to Mo Chao Ge beside her. "Everyone he killed became shriveled. His weapon must be coated with potent poison!"

"This kid is not simple," Mo Chao Ge nodded lightly and said in a low voice, "Be careful later, don't be too impulsive."

"Yu'er understands."

While they were talking, Zuo Song of the Tusk Mercenary Group, under Barnard's command, had already rushed to Tu Mu's corpse.

Zuo Song grabbed Tu Mu's shoulder and flipped him over, intending to get a closer look at the situation on Tu Mu's body.

"Bang."

The back of Tu Mu's corpse slammed heavily onto the ground.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Fierce explosions suddenly erupted!

In just an instant, Tu Mu's body was shattered into countless pieces!

Pieces of shrapnel mixed with Tu Mu's flesh and blood, like a sky full of stars, shot out from Tu Mu in all directions!

All of this happened without any warning. As soon as the explosions sounded, the shrapnel mixed with flesh and blood rained down on everyone.

The Tusk Mercenary Group was closest to Tu Mu and bore the brunt of it. They were the first to suffer!

Under the hail of shrapnel, three mercenaries from the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group were shot through like sieves, their bodies covered in bloody holes.

Zuo Song, who had acted, had his body blown apart. His flesh and blood mixed with Tu Mu's, and he was blown into pieces, flying everywhere.

The people from the Dark Nether and the Mo Family, caught off guard, also did not escape unscathed!

Even though they were tens of meters apart, the Martial Artists from both sides were still caught in the disaster. Especially the Mo Family Martial Artists, who were only in the Postnatal Realm, had no ability to resist and were directly cut by the flying blade shards.

Screams echoed endlessly. The sudden explosion of two "Star Thunders" had turned this area into a living hell, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, and internal organs and severed limbs littering the ground.

Terrified screams echoed throughout the area, and everyone was plunged into extreme panic.

Even Mo Yan Yu, who was protected by Mo Chao Ge, couldn't bear the sight of flying flesh and blood, her face pale. She bent over and repeatedly vomited.

Several Martial Artists from the Mo Family and Dark Nether, whose skin had been cut, were secretly relieved, but they gradually felt their bodies going numb and their vision blurring...

"Damn it! The flying blade shards are poisoned too!" Mo Chao Ge's face looked as if it had been stomped on, looking as ugly as can be. He stared at the Mo Family Martial Artists and exclaimed, "Cut off the wounded flesh, quickly! Quickly!"

The giant Qiang Sen's arm was also pierced by a blade shard, bleeding profusely.

Qiang Sen, his face filled with terror, gritted his teeth and severed half of his left arm with a single slash. He crouched down, screaming in agony, "Miss Mo, please, please help me bandage it!"

"Ugh!"

Mo Yan Yu had just stood up. She glanced at Qiang Sen's severed arm and felt nauseous again. She crouched down and continued to vomit.

Looking at the piles of mangled flesh, organs, and severed limbs, and the corpses with blue-tinged bodies, Barnard and the others were so enraged they felt like spitting blood. Their expressions were venomous, and fierce light overflowed from their eyes, wishing they could bite the person who set up this wicked trick into pieces and devour them alive.

Among the three factions, Dark Nether lost three people, and the Mo Family lost five.

Barnard, who was closest to Tu Mu, also suffered the greatest losses. After the explosion, he was left alone; all his team members were wiped out!

"I will kill them! I will kill them all! I will make them wish they were dead!" After a long pause, Barnard roared at the sky, like a maddened Yao Beast.

"Hmph!" The Nether Moon Envoy of Dark Nether snorted coldly and said to Mo Chao Ge, "Let's continue the pursuit. Don't mind him."

He had lost three people and inwardly blamed Barnard for it, believing that if Barnard hadn't had Zuo Song disturb Tu Mu's corpse, such a massive explosion wouldn't have occurred.

"Let's continue the pursuit." Mo Chao Ge nodded, no longer paying attention to the near-frantic Barnard, and left with the people from Dark Nether.

"I will definitely kill them all!" Barnard panted, his sinister gaze sweeping over the direction where Dark Nether and the Mo Family had disappeared. After a long time, he followed them with murderous intent.
