Five Thunders Bomb

Chapter 5: Five Thunders Bomb

Bi Fan was still shaken, a wave of lingering fear washing over him. The Mo Beasts in the canyon were likely more than just ordinary Mo Beasts; they might have already been Yao Beasts.

Although there were many precious Spiritual Medicine in the canyon, Bi Fan temporarily suppressed his greed and began to leave the passage.

Bi Fan had an astonishing memory. He had followed the Mo Leopard in earlier and had already memorized the path. As he left, he memorized the route even more carefully, making it convenient for him to return later.

There were too many rare Spiritual Medicine in the canyon for Bi Fan to simply ignore. He would wait until his strength increased before entering the great canyon again.

After exiting the hidden passage, Bi Fan climbed the tallest tree to carefully identify the direction and firmly etched it into his mind.

Towering trees were everywhere, making it truly difficult to remember this place. Bi Fan walked around the surroundings and made some marks.

Bi Fan confirmed he had memorized the location of the great canyon. He took one last reluctant look at it before leaving.

Fortunately, the Dragon Sable had fallen into a deep sleep. Otherwise, if it had discovered so much Spiritual Medicine, it definitely wouldn't have been willing to leave.

Not long after leaving the great canyon, Bi Fan encountered humans.

Three human youths were cautiously navigating the jungle. Their strength was not weak; they were all experts in the Viscera Realm.

"This Demon Realm is truly not a place for people to stay. I really miss the romantic scenery outside," one Brocade-robed Youth grumbled.

The Tough Youth said, "Young Master Ling, as long as we can become Inner Disciples, why worry about not being able to enjoy beautiful women?"

The Brocade-robed Youth chuckled, "That's only natural. If we were lucky enough to encounter the person Jiang Sheng has put a bounty on, that's a full thousand crystal stones! How many times could we go to the Spring Garden with that?"

"The Demon Realm is too vast; it's unlikely we'll encounter him."

"If we do meet him, we can easily kill him," the Tough Youth said with full confidence.

Bi Fan hid in the distance, hearing their conversation clearly. He knew the person they were talking about was himself.

"It seems Jiang Sheng is really bleeding money to offer a bounty for revenge," Bi Fan mused with a slight stir.

However, most of the cultivators who entered the outer regions of the Demon Realm for training were below the Spiritual Wisdom Realm. Bi Fan was not afraid.

He didn't know the background of those three. Bi Fan didn't want to make enemies, so he let them leave.

But fate had other plans. A black giant python, as thick as a bucket, suddenly appeared behind Bi Fan. This fellow was not easy to deal with.

Bi Fan had taken the Bilo Pill earlier, and its effects were still active. To be cautious, he even took another Bilo Pill and put it in his mouth.

Besides immense strength, poison was also the jungle giant python's most formidable weapon.

With the giant python's appearance, Bi Fan could no longer hide. He quickly ran forward, intending to create some distance first.

The three youths who had been talking earlier hadn't gone far. Hearing the commotion, they returned.

When they saw the giant python, they were stunned and immediately prepared to flee.

"Look quickly, isn't the person the giant python is chasing the one Jiang Sheng wants killed?" the Tough Youth shouted.

"It really is. He looks exactly like the portrait," the Brocade-robed Youth exclaimed in surprise.

"Young Master Ling, what should we do?" The three looked to the Brocade-robed Youth, the Tough Youth asked.

The Brocade-robed Youth's eyes flickered. He gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. "We'll hide and wait until that person and the giant python are both weakened, then we'll take him down in one fell swoop."

"Young Master Ling's mind works so fast! He can even come up with such a brilliant idea," another slightly plump youth flattered.

The three hid in the nearby grass, silently observing the battle between Bi Fan and the giant python.

The giant python was indeed powerful. Its tail swept across, breaking small trees as thick as bowls. Bi Fan didn't dare to meet it head-on.

Moreover, the giant python's scales were incredibly tough. The Flowing Light Sword only left white marks on them, unable to inflict any damage on the giant python.

Bi Fan fought and retreated, practicing the Qingyang Gentle Wind Sword Art more and more skillfully.

He had actually discovered the three youths earlier and had a plan in mind.

"Bang!" With one careless moment, the giant python's tail struck Bi Fan.

Bi Fan spat out a mouthful of blood and used the momentum to fly a long distance.

As soon as he landed, Bi Fan clutched his chest where he had been hit and stumbled, fleeing towards the hiding spot of the Brocade-robed Youth and the other two.

"Could it be that he discovered us hiding here and intentionally led the giant python over?" the Brocade-robed Youth frowned.

"Impossible. Look at him, he seems heavily injured and is already fleeing in panic," the Tough Youth said.

"Let's hope so!" the Brocade-robed Youth sighed. "Fortunately, he's already injured. Otherwise, it would have been a lot of trouble."

The giant python had landed a successful blow. Seeing Bi Fan trying to escape, it pursued him closely.

The Brocade-robed Youth and the other two could no longer remain hidden. They suddenly burst out and launched a series of attacks on the giant python.

In truth, they wanted to deal with Bi Fan first, but Bi Fan's escape route was a bit far from their hiding place, making it difficult for them to ambush him.

The three cooperated seamlessly, their continuous strikes were very precise. Unfortunately, they did not inflict a fatal wound on the giant python, only a large gash was opened on its abdomen.

"Hmph..." The giant python roared in anger, its tail sweeping wildly. Surrounding small trees and grass were all destroyed.

The Slightly Fat Youth's footwork was not agile enough, and he was unfortunately struck.

He flew out, hitting a large tree, and fell to the ground.

With just this one blow, he was breathing his last.

"Little Fatty!" the Tough Youth shouted loudly.

The Brocade-robed Youth showed no expression, his eyes fixed on the giant python. He was already regretting coming.

This giant python should possess the strength of the Valiance Realm. It would be difficult to deal with.

With the Slightly Fat Youth heavily injured, the Brocade-robed Youth and the Tough Youth were under immense pressure, their chances of winning even slimmer.

Bi Fan had been hiding. In truth, his earlier injury was faked. He had done it intentionally to lower the guard of the Brocade-robed Youth and the other two.

Let's see who reaps the benefits in the end, he thought.

The giant python spat out a cloud of poisonous mist. The Brocade-robed Youth and the Tough Youth quickly took antidotes and retreated rapidly.

The giant python became even more ferocious. Its thick tail swung like an iron bar, sweeping, chopping, and smashing...

The Brocade-robed Youth and the Tough Youth didn't even have a chance to catch their breath, finding themselves in a sorry state.

The Brocade-robed Youth roared in anger, gritting his teeth, "Die!"

He threw a thumb-sized, dark, nondescript object, then quickly retreated.

"Withdraw!"

He didn't even need to remind him. The Tough Youth clearly knew how dangerous that thing was and retreated very quickly.

The Slightly Fat Youth, heavily injured, was unable to move at all, his face filled with despair.

Bi Fan didn't know what the dark object was. Seeing how terrified they were, he instinctively retreated far away.

"Boom!" A deafening sound.

The massive explosion shattered the towering trees around them. The blast wave sent the Brocade-robed Youth and the Tough Youth flying.

The Slightly Fat Youth had it worse. Countless splinters of wood embedded themselves in him. He was as dead as dead could be.

Bi Fan was the farthest away, but he was still sent tumbling head over heels by the blast wave. His ears rang, and he was temporarily deafened.

What is this... It's too powerful! Could it be the Five Thunders Bomb! Bi Fan was utterly shocked.

The Five Thunders Bomb was refined by disciples of the Five Thunders Sect, one of the nine major sects today. The power of a Five Thunders Bomb varied depending on the refiner's strength.

The power of this Five Thunders Bomb was likely equivalent to the full-force strike of a powerhouse in the Great Strength Realm.

Bi Fan had heard Jing Feng mention it before but had been somewhat disbelieving. Now, having witnessed it firsthand, he had to admit it was indeed formidable.

The giant python, being at the epicenter of the explosion, was likely dead. Thick smoke and dust still obscured the area, so the exact situation was unknown.

"Cough, cough..." The Brocade-robed Youth and the Tough Youth helped each other up.

The Tough Youth said, "Young Master Ling, you used your life-saving Five Thunders Bomb. This is a huge loss."

"As long as I can kill the person Jiang Sheng has a bounty on, or if there's a Crystal Core inside the giant python, I'll make it all back," the Brocade-robed Youth said.

The Tough Youth said, "I'll go check if that person was killed by the blast. He was already injured earlier, so maybe we won't have to do anything."

The two were now incredibly excited, completely forgetting their companion and not caring whether the Slightly Fat Youth was alive or dead.

Just then, the dust settled, and the center of the explosion became visible.

The giant python was gone. There was blood and gore everywhere. A large pit had formed at the epicenter of the explosion, and a shiny Crystal Core lay within.

"The giant python is dead! It actually has a Crystal Core!" the Brocade-robed Youth exclaimed in surprise.

The Tough Youth stopped looking for Bi Fan and, along with the Brocade-robed Youth, rushed towards the pit.

A Crystal Core was incredibly precious. The giant python hadn't fought for long and hadn't sustained much damage. The Crystal Core was filled with spiritual energy. Obtaining this Crystal Core would cover the cost of the Five Thunders Bomb and still yield a substantial profit.

The Brocade-robed Youth was just about to jump in to retrieve the Crystal Core himself.

Suddenly, Bi Fan appeared inside the pit and took the Crystal Core.

"Kid, how dare you steal our Crystal Core! You're dead!" the Tough Youth roared in fury.

Bi Fan sneered, "Is that so? Even if I didn't steal your Crystal Core, weren't you planning to kill me for the bounty anyway?"

"Since you already know, then die." The Brocade-robed Youth drew his sword and lunged at Bi Fan.

The Tough Youth, with perfect coordination, attacked from another direction, cutting off Bi Fan's escape route.

Bi Fan dodged with a flash, then merged with his sword, lunging at the Brocade-robed Youth.

Floating Rain Flying Flowers Sword!

He unleashed his strongest technique, his movements ruthless.

By revealing himself to snatch the Crystal Core, Bi Fan had already decided to silence them.

The Brocade-robed Youth had already depleted more than half of his Inner Breath fighting the giant python, and he was also injured by the blast wave of the Five Thunders Bomb.

He drew his sword to block, but his movements were a half-step too slow.

The Flowing Light Sword sliced across his throat. The Brocade-robed Youth's mouth fell open, his eyes wide with rage, filled with regret.

"Young Master Ling!" the Tough Youth cried out. "You weren't injured at all! It turns out you were faking it all along, and you even deliberately led the giant python towards where we were hiding!"

"Indeed. Unfortunately, it's too late now," Bi Fan said with a light chuckle.

Carefree Immortal Finger! Dragon Roaring Tiger Howling Fist!

The continuous two-strike assault headed straight for the Tough Youth.

The Tough Youth was in shock and couldn't react in time. He took a hit from the Carefree Immortal Finger to the chest, which created a bloody hole, and crimson blood gushed out.

Immediately after, Bi Fan's fist arrived, striking the bloody hole and directly blasting a large cavity in the Tough Youth's chest.

Bi Fan's speed was like lightning, and he ended the battle in the blink of an eye.

Only the Brocade-robed Youth among the three had a Cosmic Bag. Bi Fan looted all their belongings.

Bi Fan tossed the three bodies into the large pit and pushed some soil to bury them, preventing them from being eaten by Mo Beasts or wild beasts and ending up with no remains.

It wasn't that Bi Fan was merciful, but rather out of a sense of righteousness, he couldn't allow their bodies to be devoured by wild beasts.

With everything settled, Bi Fan quickly left.

The commotion earlier was too great and could easily attract humans and Mo Beasts. In Bi Fan's current state, he needed to cultivate and recover his Inner Breath.

Although the previous battle ended quickly, the consumption was not small.

Moreover, to lower the guard of the three youths, Bi Fan had taken a blow from the giant python. Although he was prepared, he still sustained a minor injury and needed to recover through cultivation as soon as possible.

In the Demon Realm, both humans and Mo Beasts were full of threats. Only by maintaining peak strength could one handle situations with ease.

Bi Fan quickly disappeared into the dense forest, found a hidden spot, and began to cultivate.
