37: The Art of Explosion

A hand reached out directly, grabbing the neck of the Disciple who had attempted a sneak attack and lifting him into the air.

That New Disciple's legs struggled incessantly, the longsword in his hand having already fallen to the ground, and a whimpering sound came from his mouth.

The Blood Fiend Alliance Disciple snapped out of his intoxication: "Wasn't it better to just wait for me obediently?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Look at how well the others are doing? Waiting here quietly!"

After speaking, he looked around, and everyone present felt as if they were being stared at by a poisonous snake.

Those few who were just about to flee were frightened out of their wits.

One of the New Disciples, about ten years old, burst into tears: "Help! I don't want to cultivate anymore!"

"Please let me go~~!"

As he spoke, he turned and ran backward.

Seeing this, the Blood Fiend Alliance Disciple frowned slightly and quickly began to chase after the ten-year-old child.

Because the distance between the two was relatively far.

Gu Changan saw the Blood Fiend Alliance Disciple's extreme movement technique, which was so fast it left only an afterimage.

After catching up to the ten-year-old child, he grabbed his neck with his fingers and snapped it directly.

Seeing this, Gu Changan knew that no one present was his match.

If these few New Disciples didn't run, they could still buy him a little more time!

Gu Changan immediately shouted, "None of us can escape!"

"We might as well give it our all!"

The Blood Fiend Alliance Disciple gazed at Gu Changan with cold eyes and then let out a soft "pfft" of a chuckle.

"An ant at Qi Refining Layer Three actually thinks he can change fate?"

Saying that, he prepared to rush in front of Gu Changan to deliver a fatal blow.

Just as the Blood Fiend Alliance Disciple began to move, Gu Changan immediately activated a handful of top-grade explosion talismans in his left hand and threw them a distance of over ten feet in front of him.

The Blood Fiend Alliance Disciple had just arrived when he was greeted by twenty top-grade explosion talismans.

Submerged in the flames, the Blood Fiend Alliance Disciple only let out a miserable scream: "You're looking for death! Ah!..."

After the violent explosion, nothing was left!

On Gu Changan's body, top-grade vajra talismans shattered one after another; he continuously applied ten more before he could stabilize his stance.

There were about five New Disciples left on the scene, two on the left and three on the right.

Gu Changan was still thinking about what to do next: to kill them or let them go?

If he killed them, they were too scattered; he was only at Qi Refining Level Three and lacked a good movement technique, so he couldn't catch them at all!

If he didn't kill them, once they were out, his glorious achievements would be spread everywhere.

It would attract a lot of trouble for him!

For example, how did you kill a Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator?

Do you have any other treasures?

Your Talismans must be top-grade Talismans, right?

Where did they come from?

Through what channel were they obtained?

Are there any more?

No matter how he replied or what lies he told, he would still be suspected by others!

It was best to silence them!

In the blink of an eye, before Gu Changan could decide on a strategy!

The two New Disciples on the left could no longer restrain themselves and ran straight over.

Because they saw that Gu Changan was only at Qi Refining Layer Three, while between the two of them, one was at Qi Refining Layer Three and the other at Qi Refining Level Four, they could easily handle him.

As for the Talismans from just now, they didn't believe Gu Changan would have any more.

Such Talismans were merely life-saving measures; that's why they were so powerful.

Now that they were used up, wasn't he just a lamb to be slaughtered?

One New Disciple at Qi Refining Level Four said, "Kid!"

"This person's Storage Pouch belongs to me. Do you have any objections?"

Gu Changan's eyes flickered; he was just wondering how to lure them in, and they had delivered themselves to his door?

Hearing the other party say this, his heart stirred, and he turned to leave.

The Qi Refining Layer Three and Qi Refining Level Four New Disciples glanced at each other. Did this kid run out of tricks?

"Stop! Did I say you could leave?"

"Hand over the Storage Pouch and let us inspect it!"

Seeing this, the three New Disciples on the other side felt they could also get a share, so they directly approached.

Seeing that the Blood Fiend Alliance Cultivator's Storage Pouch had already fallen into the hands of the Qi Refining Level Four Disciple, they didn't dare say anything.

They could only follow behind Gu Changan to see if they could pick up any leftovers.

Unexpectedly, they were in a great hurry to catch up; Gu Changan paused in front and reached back.

He threw out twenty top-grade explosion talismans, which exploded directly in their faces.

They were instantly blown to bits!

There wasn't even a shred of resistance; they were all New Disciples at the early stage of Qi Refining!

Not to mention that even the Late Stage Qi Refining Blood Fiend Alliance Cultivator couldn't block it!

The explosion once again tore through the vajra talismans on his body.

Gu Changan hurriedly began to repair the shields on his body, not stopping until he had applied ten more top-grade vajra talismans.

Gu Changan loved this feeling: when wealthy, use overwhelming firepower; when poor, use tactical maneuvers.

This feeling of ambushing people was truly satisfying!

After casually collecting nine Storage Pouches, he arrived in front of the massive pillar of light.

The previous Blood Fiend Alliance Cultivator's clothing and Magical Artifacts had all been blown away, leaving only the Storage Pouch.

Not to mention these New Disciples?

Through observation, Gu Changan discovered that there seemed to be a wave of energy shielding around the pillar of light!

But it was invisible to the naked eye.

Observing through Treasure Qi, it seemed like something was leaking a trace of yellow Treasure Qi from another space, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Gu Changan pondered, could it be a hidden Formation?

Or perhaps a hidden space?

Finally, he thought that now that the pillar of light was soaring into the sky, it might attract even more people in a while.

Breaking it open quickly was the most urgent matter.

Since there was yellow Treasure Qi inside, there would probably be a Magic Treasure within.

If he used top-grade explosion talismans to blast it, it would be a gain no matter how he looked at it!

Realizing time was tight, he waved his hand and took out twenty top-grade explosion talismans.

After retreating to a safe distance, he activated the twenty top-grade explosion talismans and blasted them out directly.

A massive explosion and crimson flames crashed against a transparent light screen.

The transparent light screen began to gradually thin out, light flashed on its surface, and finally, it shattered.

Following that, the entire pillar of light faded and then vanished completely.

Gu Changan finally breathed a sigh of relief; he had been worried at first that this Formation couldn't be broken!

Thinking about it, he understood; one top-grade explosion talisman was roughly equivalent to a single strike from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Twenty top-grade explosion talismans were equivalent to the strikes of twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Could the simultaneous strikes of twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators fail to break a single Formation?

Besides, this Formation didn't even have those Formation Flags, only a single Formation Plate!

Once the Formation was destroyed, a shattered Formation Plate and a Magic Treasure, the Blood Feather Halberd, fell from the air!

Around the Magic Treasure Blood Feather Halberd, a thick blood aura swirled; it seemed this was the essence blood absorbed by the Formation to nurture the Magic Treasure Blood Feather Halberd!

Gu Changan observed carefully from a close distance!

It was a Fangtian Halberd half an arm's length taller than a person, dark red all over, as if it had been repeatedly soaked in blood and then air-dried for a thousand years.

The halberd shaft was a piece of "Sinking Blood Wood"; the wood was naturally pitch black, but its surface was etched with blood-red patterns that ran through the entire shaft.

The halberd blade was not made of metal; it was carved with feather-like patterns, but its edges were lined with fine barbs.

After taking it in his hand, the blood aura in his body followed the blood-red patterns on the shaft and crawled all over the long halberd!

It was extraordinarily bewitching, frightening Gu Changan into letting go!
