278: Chapter 278 The Alliance's Backup Plan
Countless Martial Artists watching from the shore were affected by the blast wave of the explosion. Fortunately, they were far enough away; otherwise, they would have certainly died.
Each of them had their eyes wide open, simply unable to believe what they were seeing. The entire island had actually been blown to pieces?
A full ten minutes had passed, and the island had completely vanished.
Countless Martial Artists on the shore were somewhat stunned, because even now, they still found it hard to believe the scene unfolding before their eyes.
This island, known as the Martial Arts Holy City and selected by the Earth Martial Arts Alliance as their headquarters, had been wiped off the map in just this one day?
"Th-th-this... what just happened?"
"The island... exploded?"
"My god! Could it be that the Alliance was willing to destroy an entire island just to kill Emperor Qin?"
"No way... could it be that their battle caused the entire island to be destroyed?"
"Are you blind? Even a Half-step God Realm could not possibly destroy an entire island."
"..."
Soon, the crowd began to discuss it heatedly.
And now, everyone only had one major question.
Is Emperor Qin dead?
Under such an explosion, let alone a Half-step God Realm, even if a God Realm were here, they would likely only face death.
How could human power possibly contend with the force of such an explosion?
Yet, even though more than ten minutes had passed, the countless Martial Artists on the shore still could not accept the reality before them.
It was too shocking, and too hard to believe.
"Emperor Qin... is dead?" Xu Linzhou's face was deathly pale.
Under such an explosion, it was almost impossible to survive.
No matter how unbelievable or inconceivable it was, the explosion had truly occurred.
Xu Weiwei did not speak, her red lips pressed tightly together, a trace of fear in her eyes.
Master Wang, who was beside them, was an 8th Realm Martial Artist after all, and he soon calmed down. Seeing the island destroyed, he felt a lingering fear.
If he hadn't happened to meet Emperor Qin on the plane today, and hadn't happened to be chatting about the soul crystal, Emperor Qin probably wouldn't have initiated a conversation with them.
In that case, he definitely would have gone to the island, and once there, he would have certainly died.
What was he thinking? Even as an 8th Realm Martial Artist, he would have absolutely no chance of survival under such an explosion.
"Although Emperor Qin is very strong, wanting to survive such an explosion is almost impossible." Master Wang took a deep breath, his mood somewhat complicated.
"However, under such an explosion, that person in charge, Caesar, is also certain to die."
"I didn't kill him, so I won't inquire about the location of the soul crystal anymore."
Master Wang was still somewhat righteous; at least he didn't force them directly. With his strength, if he had wanted to force them, it would have been very easy.
After all, Xu Linzhou and Xu Weiwei were only low-Realm Martial Artists; in front of an 8th Realm Martial Artist like him, they were nothing more than ants he could easily crush.
On a private luxury plane.
The plane was already a considerable distance away from the exploded island.
"Madman, you are simply a madman!"
"How could you destroy the island?"
"My friends were still on that island..."
Several of the people in charge looked extremely grim.
Previously, they had guessed the Alliance's actions, but it hadn't happened yet, and after all, it was only a guess; it might not have been true.
Now that the island had truly been destroyed, unsurprisingly, not a single person survived!
There were still family members and friends of these people in charge on the island...
They died.
All of them died.
But was this Blake's fault?
No, this was the decision of the Earth Martial Arts Alliance. How could a mere Blake have the authority to do such a thing?
Uruguay looked at Blake and sighed softly: "Blake, is doing this really worth it?"
To kill one Emperor Qin, you destroyed an entire island.
Is it really worth it?
"At the end of the day, Emperor Qin is just a Martial Artist. There are many ways to kill a Martial Artist; why must you be so extreme?"
Uruguay naturally could not understand such behavior.
No matter how strong a Martial Artist is, could they possibly be strong enough to contend with a nation?
That is impossible.
Blake also looked at Uruguay, his expression indifferent.
"It is just a mere island. The Earth Martial Arts Alliance can just change locations when the time comes. Wherever the Alliance is, that place is the Martial Arts Holy City."
He didn't care at all.
Naturally, Blake would not care about an island, and even less would he care about the Martial Artists on that island.
Uruguay didn't say anything more.
Blake picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"The search team can be deployed. Search thoroughly for me, and ensure that not even a bone of Emperor Qin remains!"
The other people in charge and Uruguay were incredulous upon hearing this.
"Blake, under these circumstances, even Emperor Qin couldn't possibly have survived, right?" Uruguay felt that Blake was doing something unnecessary.
Blake said indifferently: "This Emperor Qin survived a small nuclear missile over a year ago, so this time, we naturally have to play it safe."
Uruguay fell silent and said no more.
"Haha..."
Caesar, however, suddenly burst into wild laughter: "Since Emperor Qin is already dead, wouldn't his sister be mine for the taking?"
"I'm so looking forward to it. I hope this Emperor Qin has a wife."
His lust had grown intense.
The other people in charge glanced at him, their eyes full of disdain. Having reached their position, what kind of woman could they not have?
But Caesar just happened to like using force.
However, precisely because everyone had reached this position, it was difficult to say some ugly things.
Lu Jing clenched his fists. It wasn't that he cared about the death of Emperor Qin, but rather that his female secretary had also died on this island.
Moreover, he also had some friends and relatives who had come, and they all died as a result.
He had thought the Alliance would have a contingency, but he hadn't expected it to be such a contingency.
The events of today would surely spread all over the world.
When that time comes, it will definitely shake the entire globe!
However, before the news had completely spread, the five Land Immortals heading to the Dragon Kingdom naturally received the news first.
When Susanoo Wushuang learned that the island had been blown up, he couldn't help but be shocked for a moment.
But soon, he revealed wild joy.
"Emperor Qin... is dead!"
Hades chuckled twice, feeling a lingering fear: "It's a good thing we came to the Dragon Kingdom. If we had gone to attend this meeting, I'm afraid we would have died there too."
Kawashima Nanako's expression couldn't help but show sadness, because hadn't the Kawashima Clan's strongest, Kawashima Onitetsu, died in this explosion?
After her father died, it was already a heavy blow to the Kawashima Clan, and now that even their ancestor had died, the glory of the Kawashima Clan would cease to exist!
All of this was Emperor Qin's fault!
Kawashima Nanako gritted her teeth; this time, going to the Dragon Kingdom, she must plunder ruthlessly.
Although the island was destroyed, for this team, Emperor Qin's death was definitely good news.
"Haha, from now on, no one can stop us anymore!"
