The Void Heaven Hall Appears
"One thousand six hundred and thirty dollars!"
"I stabbed him 1,630 times, but I haven't reached the bottom yet. His body splits open and heals; the power of the world's origin hasn't completely dissipated!"
Zhang Xuezhou's first delay with Hu Yu lasted a full eight days, but this time it only lasted a day and a half.
Zhang Manqian gave it her all and achieved the highest number of kills she had ever made in a single slash with a knife.
An ordinary person would be exhausted and paralyzed after chopping 1,600 times with a kitchen knife, and Zhang Manqian was no exception, but she felt that it was still far from enough.
She was given too little time to carry out her plan; she didn't get to the point where she could do things perfectly.
Zhang Manqian boarded the aircraft, panting heavily, and flew higher and higher. She looked back and saw no pursuers. She quickly responded to Zhang Huang's almost synchronized shouts.
He's still standing in the same spot!
"Activate the explosion!"
It was an unexpected event that Zhang Huang stayed in Leiata City instead of leaving.
Normally, after Zhang Huang witnessed Ren Anran's Yang Soul Body being killed and learned the truth from the communication, the other party should have left.
Whether to atone for his sins or for other reasons, Zhang Huang stayed by Hu Yu's side and also cooperated with Zhang Manqian.
The explosives buried in Leiata City obviously couldn't affect Zhang Huang, and the detonation process was delayed. However, the good thing was that Hu Yu stayed where he was and didn't leave, nor did he immediately give chase.
Only after running roughly to a safe distance from the explosion did Zhang Xuezhou direct the activation of the detonation procedure.
A deafening sound echoed nearby, followed by a muffled yet violent explosion that reverberated throughout Leiata City. The trembling earth rippled like ocean waves, and intense flames erupted over Leiata City, the blinding light eventually transforming into a giant fireball.
The lights in the basement of the combat base went out all at once, and then emergency lights quickly came on. The steel frame made a cracking sound as it was squeezed and broke, and then it tilted and crashed down with a lot of dirt.
"Kalando, how much explosives did you plant in Leiata City?"
"Only 120 tons!"
"Impossible!"
"We threw in some expired landmines that we didn't need, hoping to dispose of the damp ammunition during the explosion. We thought it wouldn't have a big impact, so we just threw them in!"
"Anything else?"
"Some hazardous chemicals were also dumped in. You know, the terrain in this area is very difficult to handle these things, and without issuing a notification, no one will cooperate. Anyway, our officials put in 120 tons of explosives. We have no idea about the other additives; it's just that some were stuffed into every building near the center of the square!"
Ren Anran was almost buried by the surging soil, and her composure turned into disarray.
After grabbing his not-so-familiar younger sister and running nearly twenty meters away, Ren Anran finally asked Turkalando about the situation.
Turkalando's way of doing things was clearly as terrible as ever.
The bigger the explosion, the better. After all, Zhang Manqian and Zhang Huang were still in the process of retreating, and an explosion that far exceeded expectations would inevitably affect the two of them.
Ren Anran gripped the communicator and called out several times, but there was no response from Zhang Manqian or Zhang Huang.
"If you kill Manqian, your Saati will never forgive you!"
Ren Anran gave him a warning, and only then did Turkalando turn pale and quickly call for help.
Regardless of the ferocious white tiger, once they've rescued themselves, they'll need to set off to search for and rescue others.
Like volcanic ash falling during a volcanic eruption, the area outside the combat base was covered in a thick layer of black dust, almost obscuring the entire sky, while a pungent odor permeated the vicinity.
Turkalando put on the breathing mask and felt a gust of wind around him. A familiar figure was already flying far away into the sky.
When her gaze swept back, Turkalando saw that Ren Anran was still standing not far behind her.
"Sister, my eyes are ruined!"
Turkalando muttered a few words, then rubbed her eyes hard. When she looked up again at the dark, dusty sky, she saw a golden light pierce through the clouds and then plummet towards the distant city of Leiata, where everything was completely obscured.
"Breaking isn't necessarily a bad thing!"
Ren Anran also saw the light.
Leiata City is hundreds of miles away from Tutlam City, and Zhang Xuezhou arrived twice as fast as Ren Anran had imagined.
For the first time, she felt that Zhang Xuezhou's strength was somewhat superhuman; no current technological product could keep up with Zhang Xuezhou's speed.
Her True Self Realm True Self Realm indeed somewhat different from Zhang Xuezhou's; their different development paths lead to different outcomes.
Zhang Xuezhou's speed alleviated Ren Anran's unease. If Zhang Manqian and Zhang Huang hadn't been killed in the explosion, they wouldn't be facing pursuit and death right now.
"Xuezhou, have you seen Manqian?"
Where is Zhang Huang?
Where is Tiger Feather?
Ren Anran asked several questions into the communication channel, to which Zhang Huang responded with a muffled groan.
"The impact of the explosion on the ground was very strong. My sister is probably not seriously injured in the aircraft. It's likely that the explosion was so violent that it disrupted nearby signals, causing her to lose contact!"
Zhang Xuezhou's analytical voice came through the communicator, and he suggested that after he led Hu Yu away, everyone dig out Zhang Huang who was buried underground, so that Zhang Huang would not suffocate in the underground ruins.
"Tiger Feather!"
After a brief response, Zhang Xuezhou's loud shout was like a demonic chant, echoing through the communicator.
"Zhang Xuezhou, you really were plotting against me!" Hu Yu roared.
"You've already beaten me to death, what are you talking about scheming!"
"Thanks to your explosion, I have finally succeeded in guiding the Principle. This time, I will surely give you a dignified death!"
"Principle?"
Zhang Xuezhou's voice on the communicator sounded slightly surprised. After all, this world had the Principle of the Spider God, but no one had ever truly withstood the blows of those Principle. No one was confident they could withstand the power of some unknown Principle, and Zhang Xuezhou was no exception.
"Donghua!"
In the instant he realized the situation, Zhang Xuezhou changed his shout.
"Come out!"
Zhang Xuezhou's explanation was rather confusing, but Ren Anran knew very well that this was Zhang Xuezhou's trump card.
She gazed intently into the distance and saw a floating city faintly emerging from the countless wisps of black dust.
"Donghua?"
A cold, murderous aura emanated from him, and a beam of white light descended from the sky. Ren Anran was momentarily dazzled by the flash of the white light before she heard a deafening roar of thunder.
"Is Donghua a member of the Four Saints Clan?"
Amidst the deafening roar, the sound of mental fluctuations was clearly audible, reverberating in all directions and reaching almost everyone's ears.
"When did the Four Sages begin to interfere in the affairs of the Three Realms?"
"You're not the successor of 'White'?"
The continuous inquiries and attempts to ascertain the situation drew forth a series of white lights from the horizon.
Ren Anran's heart tightened. She was worried that Zhang Xuezhou would be exposed in the Void Heaven Palace incident when she heard a loud bang in the sky. The floating city seemed to fall out of control, and countless dense white lightning bolts fell down, illuminating the black and gray world with bright white light.
