Chapter 414: Blow You Up!

Scenic Lake Gardens was not located at the border of Sun City.

At first, the commotion coming from the battle in the neighborhood was covered by the New Years’ Eve firecrackers. However, when the fight had reached a climax, balls of lights collided with each other in the sky. The thunderous sounds did not seem to stop. In no time, the majority of Sun City knew.

Sun City’s emergency hotline was bursting from the calls that were coming in.

Commander Bai Jinshan was actually just somewhere around Scenic Lake Gardens neighborhood at the moment.

However, other than feeling helpless and worried, Bai Jinshan was practically powerless.

Sun City was only a county-level city. He was the strongest there.

Sun City did not even have standing troops. Were they supposed to rely on him and a few Rank-2 martial artists from the Department of Investigation Services to join a great battle between powerhouses like this?

They could not even fly up in the air.

Not only Sun City, but Bai Jinshan had also reported to Auspicious Sun. Although Auspicious Sun’s commander was already sending reinforcements and rushing over, he sounded really hopeless on the phone too. The main request was still to evacuate the masses, ensure their safety, and not allow Sun City to fall into chaos.

At this moment, the whole of Nanjiang had received the news. A war between powerhouses broke out in Sun City.

Among them, he suspected both prodigies Fang Ping and Wang Jinyang to be involved in the fight. However, the situation did not seem so good. Bai Jinshan saw both of them as they flashed across his eyes earlier. Both of them were seriously injured.

The military base closest to them was Auspicious Peace’s military base.

Right now, the base had already located them using GPS. However, at the level Fang Ping and the rest were at, they moved at blinding speed. It was also really difficult to catch the other party quickly.

Even if they could catch him, the base had no means of defeating him using technological means for the time being.

These guys were still in the residential area.

Needless to say, Fang Ping and Wang Jinyang were in it.

At the Rank-5 and 6 levels, the best way to kill the other party was through powerhouses. Technological means would only cause mutual destruction to both parties.

Outside the neighborhood, along the suburban area where Fang Ping duo escaped with Flight Step, Bai Jinshan quickly brought people in to pacify the residents.

Seeing the rays that had moved further away, Bai Jinshan was laden with anxiety. He hoped that the Fang Ping duo would be fine, but also hoped that Fang Ping could lead the enemies away from the residential area.

At this moment, not only Scenic Lake Gardens but the entire Sun City was in a state of panic.

This was not the first time powerhouses had fought in front of the masses.

Just a few months ago, the evil sect members had even threatened to annihilate the entire city.

Today, powerhouses were fighting in public areas again. That sense of crisis had everyone’s heart loaded with worries.

They presented the weak a vivid show ... that they had no control over their lives at this moment.

In the Scenic Lake Gardens, some residents left their houses. When they saw a saber mark that sliced through more than half of the neighborhood, many people could not even imagine that this was the damage done in just one strike from a human.

At that same time, many brave residents still stole a look from their windows and witnessed this scene.

Now, following the arrival of the government representatives, these residents were much relieved now.

During moments of crisis, the government was a guarantee of safety in the eyes of many people.

“They’re too powerful. I’ve seen it. Fang Ping was the one who employed this slash!”

“What’s happening exactly? Are they Fang Ping’s foes?”

“They’re definitely the evil sect members!”

“I don’t know what their ranks are. Fang Ping is only a Rank-4, isn’t he? Why is he so powerful?”

“It’s not just Fang Ping... the other one looks like Wang Jinyang...”

The neighborhood was damaged to the point that it looked like the ruins of a leveled public square. Many residents were still in a state of shock, discussing in whispers.

Among them, rumors were inevitable.

There were also discussions going around, saying that Fang Ping came home after provoking the enemy, nearly killing everyone.

Even though some of them sounded discontented, when they recalled the saber mark that Fang Ping had created after employing one slash that extended a few hundred meters, they dared not speak further. A powerhouse like this was too terrifying after unleashing outbursts.

Others were discussing, but Bai Jinshan was in no mood to pay attention to these things.

Right now, the ones rushing toward Bai Jinshan were Fang Mingrong and the rest.

When he saw Fang Mingrong, Bai Jinshan was just about to ask him something when Fang Mingrong pleaded in a hurry, “Commander, please lend me a car...”

“Deputy Chief Fang, what are you...”

“My son is there!”

Fang Mingrong took a look at the mother-daughter tearing up beside him, suppressed his palpitating heart forcibly, and said quickly, “I’ll follow them and take a look!”

“Deputy Chief Fang, it’s too dangerous!”

Bai Jinshan was frowning suddenly. Fang Ping’s father was only a commoner. If he drove the car and followed them now, he would die for certain if he got involved.

It was unknown whether Fang Ping was dead or alive now. If something happened to his father too, that would spell trouble.

“Commander Bai, please lend me a car!”

Seeing that Fang Mingrong did not respond to him, Bai Jinshan took a deep breath and nodded. “Fine. I’ll drive you there. But... we may not be able to catch up.”

Their speed was blindingly fast. They might not be able to catch up even if they were driving a car.

“There’s no need for that. I can drive there myself...”

“You can’t even sense where they are. I’ll go with you.”

Bai Jinshan said no more. If Fang Mingrong followed along, he might not even locate them. When he encountered threats of the residual waves, he would not be able to block it.

At least he was a Peak Rank-3 martial artist, whereby Sun City was also his territory, no matter what, he had to follow them and observe.

Even if he could not fend off the other party, he needed to grasp the other party’s whereabouts, at least.

Without explaining further, Bai Jinshan ordered someone to send him a car very quickly. He was just about to get in the car when a few Department of Investigation Services martial artists carrying two smashed corpses bolted toward him swiftly.

“Commander...”

The Department of Investigation Services director darted a glance at Fang Mingrong and the rest who were standing beside. He failed to suppress the look of appalment and terror in his eyes, saying in a hurry, “We’ve found the two corpses that Mr. Fang killed... we think that they’re both... Rank-6 powerhouses!”

Even if powerhouses were dead, they would still have a distinctive trait.

The extent of their bone-honing, the extent of their internal organ-honing, these were extremely easy to see.

Even a Peak Rank-5 was different from a Rank-6.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

These people in Sun City might not have seen a Rank-5 powerhouse’s corpse before, but, as the department that handles martial artists’ affairs, the Department of Investigation Services did know a thing or two about these powerhouses’ distinctive traits.

Bai Jinshan’s pupils contracted. It was a Rank-6 indeed!

Earlier, when he sensed the tension from those forces, he had already made speculations. He did not expect that he would guess it right.

This was not the main point. The main point was, Fang Ping had slashed two Rank-6s to death, yet he was still being chased.

How powerful exactly was the evil sect martial artist chasing after Fang Ping?

Bai Jinshan did not have much time to think so much anymore. He ordered quickly, “Seal up the corpses and the rest of the things! Order everyone to cancel their holiday and start maintaining social stability!”

As soon as he said those words, Bai Jinshan got into the car.

Fang Mingrong was already in. When he saw Fang Yuan and Li Yuying attempting to get inside as well, Fang Mingrong said in a rough voice, “Both of you should stay. I’ll go alone.”

“Dad!”

Fang Yuan bit her lips, choking with emotions. “I want to go. I’m stronger than you. I want to see brother kill them!”

Fang Mingrong took a deep breath. After a moment, he nodded. “Alright. But Yuying, you’ll stay. Get in!”

Fang Yuan got into the car hastily. Li Yuying’s face was covered in tears. She choked with sobs, pleading, “Bring Ping Ping back. Remember to bring Ping Ping back!”

“Mm.”

Fang Mingrong said no more. He nodded toward Bai Jinshan. Bai Jinshan made no delays either. He revved up the engine immediately and sped toward the direction where they left earlier.

...

At the same time when Fang Mingrong and the rest had left, the news that Sun City was attacked spread like wildfire all over social media.

What came out with the news was a video of them fighting midair.

The video had clear footage.

It was New Year’s Eve tonight. At that time, some people were prepared to film a video of the fireworks but ended up filming the fight in the sky instead.

Even when it was already night time and a long distance away, they were unable to film the distinctive features of their faces, but they managed to film a clear video of the lights repeatedly crisscrossing in the skies as well as the saber glow that spread throughout the sky.

These videos... were deleted in no time.

At this moment, the government did not wish to publicize this news.

The result of Sun City’s great battle was unknown.

It would be fine if the Fang Ping duo were still alive. If they were truly killed in Sun City, it would be devastating!

If both prodigies of the present era were killed by the evil sect martial artists in their hometown, then the ranking list that they had announced earlier to improve mankind’s confidence would all go to waste.

At this time and moment, supreme powerhouses from all parts of the country were dispatched, all of them heading toward Sun City.

It was not only the government. At this moment, the direction which connected Magic City to Sun City was filled with a few powerhouses employing the Flight Step, burning with deathly aura as they flew toward Sun City at blinding speed.

...

Reinforcements were still on the way. Fang Ping and Wang Jinyang were losing strength even though they were determined as ever.

Both of them were critically injured!

Wang Jinyang was nearly killed. Fang Ping’s major injuries were not caused by the evil sect martial artists. Instead, it was caused by his own self-detonation.

Celestiality outbursts had ruptured his flesh.

The Mentality’s self-detonation had also begun muddling his consciousness.

The golden bone activation had also caused him serious injuries.

At this time and moment, Fang Ping’s golden bones still looked beyond impressive. However, before he had attained a golden body, if his flesh crumbled apart, it would be fatal.

Activating golden bones did not mean that Fang Ping had already attained a worldly body.

The Rank-6 martial artist behind him might not be able to crush his golden bones. However, preserving golden bones did not mean preserving his life.

The largest possibility was after the other party had killed Fang Ping, he could still obtain a set of golden bones for free, increasing his gains.

Midair, Fang Ping’s speed was extremely fast, yet he still found it difficult to shake off the middle-aged man who was chasing after him.

This was not the Catacombs Royal City. If it was the Catacombs fort, the other party might not be able to find him if he blended into the crowd and dug underground.

This was the human world. This was Sun City!

Below him, those were his fellow neighbors.

If Fang Ping disappeared underground, he was sure that the other party would massacre the residents underneath at all costs.

Besides, if he took a critically-injured Wang Jinyang with him, even if Fang Ping dug into the ground, he would be found easily.

Seeing Wang Jinyang’s disordered aura, looking as if he was inches away from death, whilst Fang Ping swooshed at full speed, he hissed under his breath, “Motherf*cker. We’ve never been in such a wretched state even when we were in the Catacombs. Dying in the hands of this brute is really not worth it!”

Wang Jingyang’s complexion was really pale, yet he smiled and said, “Even if we die, we can’t die escaping. When we’re in an inhabited area, stop running. We still have some energy to fight. Let’s give it all we’ve got! If we can’t kill him, we must hold him up and wait for Commander Bai to arrive!”

Fang Ping darted a glance at him, asking, “You can still fight?”

“Give me some Energy Essence and I may.”

“No more.”

Fang Ping shook his head. A few high-ranked energy stones appeared in his hand, stuffing them into his hand, saying, “This is all I have. Just make do with it.”

“You’re indeed rich and overbearing.”

Wang Jinyang still had the mood to tease Fang Ping. However, Fang Ping was indeed wealthy. High-ranked energy stones were not items that anyone could take out just like that.

Wang Jinyang absorbed them very quickly, turning his head to take a look at the middle-aged man who was closing in on them. He said suddenly, “I’ll keep him busy. You should be able to escape...”

“Scram!”

Fang Ping scolded. He said through gritted teeth, “You came here just to save me. What kind of person do you think I, Fang Ping, am?”

If Wang Jingyang did not join the fight, he could be sitting at home eating his New Year’s Eve dinner peacefully at this moment.

In order to save him now, he was critically injured. If Fang Ping left him behind and Wang Jinyang kept the other party busy for a moment, Fang Ping could escape with no problems at all.

However, if that was really the case, his basic baseline as a human being would be lost.

Even if a person escaped alive like this became a Grandmaster in the future... No, this kind of person did not deserve the title as a Grandmaster. How different would such a person be from the evil sect?

Fang Ping cursed and said rapidly, “High ranks can’t even kill me, a Rank-6 does not even qualify! Since this brute refuses to give up, don’t blame me for being rude then! Keep him busy for a moment, I’ll blow him up!”

He would need time to condense Celestiality too.

Fang Ping had figured it out. It had got to this point anyway. There was nothing to lose. Later, he would condense a big ball of Celestiality, saving a breath of air for himself, and blow up that b*stard!

With a 500C Celestiality’s outburst, even Old Man Li could kill a Rank-8.

He did not need much. Condensing 100C was comparable to a full force of a Rank-7. He doubted that the other party could resist that.

As Fang Ping said that, he muttered under his breath, “When I blow him up, you must run fast. Otherwise, I can’t help you if you’re blown up.”

Wang Jinyang’s complexion was really pale. “Can you hold on?”

“I won’t let him live an easy life even if I die!”

As he said those words, Fang Ping had already condensed Celestiality in his hands. At this moment, Fang Ping concealed his aura completely, shielding himself with Wang Jinyang’s body for a bit.

Watching the middle-aged man striking a punch across the void, Fang Ping flew ahead without turning back.

The current Fang Ping looked more and more like a skeleton.

The flesh on his body was almost completely shredded.

When Wang Jinyang saw this, he sighed a little in his heart. There was indeed a price to pay for a Rank-5 to condense Celestiality.

In MCMAU, Fang Ping would condense about 5C Celestiality at most, every time. To insert 50C, he needed to perform the procedure separately. His body could not bear the full Celestiality energy.

Right now, if he intended to blow up the fellow behind him, Fang Ping needed to endure more than ten times the force than he normally would.

Even after the other party had been blown up, Fang Ping would be finished too.

It had only been five to six minutes since both parties started fighting.

Powerhouses fought extremely quickly.

Commander Bai might need another five to six minutes before he could make it here in time. He might not be able to.

Seeing that Fang Ping did not care for anything anymore, Wang Jinyang had a profound look in his eyes. After a moment, a faint sound of blood-flowing was heard coming from his body.

From the bones that were exposed outside his body, a blood plasma-looking Vitality Force seeped outside of his bones.

Fang Ping’s badly mangled eyes squinted again and again. This was Bone Marrow Force about to be completely unleashed. Old Wang was also overdrafting his energy now.

This time, even if they could survive this, both of them would experience a great loss. Fang Ping took a look at his splendidly golden arms, sighing softly in his heart. It was no use thinking about these. With his situation... although he might look like he was in high spirits, not long after, he might not be able to fight anymore.

After a moment, they arrived at the White Mountains!

Sun City had White Mountain ranges. When Wang Jinyang hunted after Huang Bin, it was White Mountain which they entered before.

The passageway to Auspicious Peace was also within the White Mountains.

By running here, Fang Ping was actually heading toward Auspicious Peace.

In the next second, Fang Ping turned his head around suddenly and shouted, “Auspicious Peace’s Grandmasters are about to arrive. Are you sure you want to exchange your life for this?

“As long as we can hold you up for a moment, you’re a lump of dead meat for sure!”

The middle-aged man who was closing up on them put on a ghastly expression. He answered coldly, “You must first have the capability to hold me up!”

As soon as the words left his lips, the other party struck another punch across the void!

The red-colored fist shadow pierced through space in the blink of an eye, coming for the duo.

Wang Jinyang’s back was facing Fang Ping. Fang Ping grabbed onto his shoulders while he wielded the saber in both of his hands. After launching a strike, he aimed at the fist shadow.

Pu!

The fist shadow was shattered. Wang Jinyang had also taken the jolt. Blood spurting out of his mouth ceaselessly.

The middle-man knew that this place was really close to Auspicious Peace too. There might really be Grandmasters coming soon. Within three minutes, he must kill these two, only then he would stand a chance in escaping.

Without making any more delays, at the top of the middle-aged man’s head, three completely sealed off Sanjiao Gates emerged suddenly.

In the next second, one of the gates was slightly ajar.

At this instant, the other party’s speed picked up. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the two.

The middle-aged man dared not to pick up speed. Instead, he quickly sealed off his Sanjiao Gate.

After the Sanjiao Gate was sealed, it would achieve the best effect at nurturing Mentality and Vitality, considered to be a preparation they made to step into Rank-7.

Once the gates were opened and their Mentality and Vitality were drained, it would be difficult for them to reattempt their breakthrough to Rank-7 anymore.

It was precisely because he had taken into account that the Grandmasters were about to arrive, only the middle-aged man pushed himself and opened up a slight gap, picking up speed to catch up with the both of them.

Just like that, he needed to nurture for at least a few months after he went back, only then could he completely seal off this gate

The middle-aged man was also seething in anger inside. As a Peak Rank-6 powerhouse, he actually had to activate his Sanjiao Gate to chase after two heavily injured Rank-5s. This was way too embarrassing.

Once he closed in on the duo, the middle-aged man no longer struck a punch across the void. His fist released a sonic boom, sending a punch toward Wang Jinyang’s head!

Wang Jingyang’s eyes were savage-looking. The Vitality in his entire body was rolling around at maximum speed. The changdao in his hand released a cracking sound. With a deep-throated roar, he launched a slash!

Boom!

A deafening crash was heard. Fang Ping who was galloping at full speed ahead could feel the jolt. The faint golden blood dripped out of his mouth. He staggered and fell downward.

The Wang Jinyang he was holding onto had turned limp as if he was already lifeless.

Behind them, the middle-aged man was flung a considerable distance back, a saber mark clearly visible on his fist. A few bones in his hands were also broken.

“Both of you must die!”

The middle-aged man was in a towering rage. His Sanjiao Gate reemerged. The gap reopened. In the next second, he caught up with the duo once more. Both fists hammered and struck out. The booming sound in the end never seemed to cease.

Wang Jinyang who seemed weak earlier was like the invincible Jack Bauer, regaining consciousness in an instant. He waved the saber and hacked repeatedly. The saber-fist collision released countless sparks.

“Motherf*cker!”

Fang Ping ahead had also felt the massive tremors, falling constantly.

The residual waves created in the fight between them had crushed the rocks underneath, exploding them into pieces repeatedly.

Fang Ping’s speed had slowed down tremendously now. He was losing balance too.

It was not merely the effects of the tremors, this also had something to do with the glowing ball in his hand.

At this moment, as Fang Ping had concealed his aura, the glowing ball did not release any energy waves. However, Fang Ping knew that the energy that this plaything stored was extremely mighty!

“There should be 50C, right?”

Fang Ping estimated in his heart. At this moment, his left arm had completely turned into bones. There was no more flesh left.

Under Celestiality’s tremors, the flesh that was stuck together had all fallen off.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

“Is there still hope for my body to recover?”

The appearance of golden bones did not signify the birth of imperishable substance. Fang Ping strongly believed that even if he did not die, he would have difficulty recovering his flesh now.

Could it be possible that he needed to live as a skeleton in the future?

The main point was if he had no flesh before he achieved Rank-8, could he really survive?

Whilst all kinds of wild thoughts were racing through his mind, Fang Ping crashed into the ground the next second. A huge pit appeared on the ground surface.

The moment he fell into the pit, Fang Ping hissed quickly, “Dig holes and lure him in. Help me hold him off another 10 seconds and I’ll blow him up!”

“10 seconds?”

Wang Jinyang looked pained. This kid looked too highly upon him. Right now, his Bone Marrow Force was about to finish overdrafting.

“If we’re dying, then we’re dying together. I believe that you won’t die... If you do, you’ll just resurrect again thousands of years later!”

“Resurrect?”

Wang Jinyang was stunned. What was this supposed to mean?

For now, he was still unaware of MCMAU’s speculations.

Fang Ping had no time to explain. After falling into the deep pit, Fang Ping hammered at the ground surface hastily, making the pit deeper.

If they were midair, he might not be able to blow the fellow up.

However, after entering the pit, as long as he could blow him up, he believed that the fellow behind him would not be able to survive it.

As for him and Wang Jinyang... it would depend on their luck.

Whilst Fang Ping continued to condense Celestiality, he dug further down wildly.

The middle-aged man behind him had already pursued him inside the cave. Whilst fighting with Wang Jinyang who was already heavily injured and at the brink of death, he let out a grim laugh. “Do you think that you can escape this way?”

Both of them were bringing about their own destruction!

If they were to continue escaping outside, he would have to spend slightly more effort if he wished to kill them.

Unexpectedly, Fang Ping was so panicky that he did not choose his path well. He actually dug holes amidst a stone mountain. How foolish could he be!

At this moment, Fang Ping and Wang Jinyang had brought themselves into a dead end.

“But... it is also a wise action for them to dig a grave for themselves before they died!”

Fang Ping who was digging the pit was not interested in responding to him. In reality, he had no time to respond either.

It was still unsure who this grave was dug for.

At this moment, all of Fang Ping’s bones were quivering. The ball of light in his hand was also glowing brighter and brighter.

His translucent internal organs were starting to shatter as well.

Wang Jinyang forced out the words. “Are... are you...done...”

He really could not hold on much longer now!

He had not reached the stage in which he could take on a Peak Rank-6 forcefully. Although there was only a one-rank difference between both parties, in reality, it was actually five small levels—the disparity was too great!

If it was two Upper-stage Rank-6 martial artists, he might have been beaten to death already.

“This time, we’ll be famous even if we die!”

Fang Ping let out a deep-throated roar all of a sudden. Then, he struck a punch vigorously, smashing a deep hole beside him. Fang Ping pulled Wang Jinyang inside quickly.

Then, Fang Ping twisted his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was about to enter. Suddenly, he let out a guttural roar. The rocks around him exploded suddenly!

The middle-aged man’s body swayed slightly, yet there were no obvious effects. However, there was blood flowing out of his nostrils.

“Self-detonating Mentality may work on others. But for a Peak Rank-6, you’re not qualified enough!”

The middle-aged man let out a blood-chilling laugh. Although his Mentality was not strong, he was also at the stage of expelling it. This includes the sealing off of his Sanjiao Gate and his powerful Vitality Force too. Fang Ping wished to tackle him with this? He was still years off!

Fang Ping was not interested to pay him any attention. Self-detonating Mentality was only to delay the other party’s pace.

In the next moment, Fang Ping suddenly showed his teeth and grinned. “Here’s a little gift for you!”

Before the words left his lips, Fang Ping tossed out a ball of light that carried no energy waves at all. Then, Fang Ping started digging ahead like a madman!

If they did not run, they would be buried alive with him!

“Old Wang, hold on!”

Fang Ping let out a low hiss. Wang Jinyang’s expression was changing wildly as well. His Bone Marrow Force, whereby not much remained, emerged once again. This time, it was not to attack. Instead, it covered layer after layer of Vitality shields on the surface of his body.

Fang Ping was the same. Vitality Force, Bone Marrow Force, and Mentality covered outside both of their bodies layer after layer.

The middle-aged man behind them had a slight concussion from Mentality self-detonation earlier, seemingly slightly affected by it.

The power of the ball of light that Fang Ping tossed out did not seem obvious. Seeing that both of them were digging inward wildly, the middle-aged man subconsciously chased after them ahead.

The second the ball of light approached him, the middle-aged man’s pupils contracted greatly!

“Danger!”

“Run!”

Such thought emerged in his mind.

At this moment, his hair stood on end, sensing a threat that was beyond intense!

As for the ball of light, it had already exploded the moment he took a step back!

Boom!

The blinding white glow had almost lit up the entire mountain range!

The deafening explosion and loud booming sounds reverberated throughout this land.

More than ten li away, Fang Mingrong and the rest who were hurrying over in the car suddenly saw a blinding light surging from the distance. Then, what followed was deafening booming sounds.

The moment after that, the earth shook, as if an earthquake was about to happen.

In the White Mountains, a few nearby mountain tops disappeared straightaway.

In the center of the explosion, a deep pit with a radius of one hundred meters appeared!

Enormous amounts of crushed stones splattered in all directions. Most of the stones had already turned into a fine powder. There were dust and smoke everywhere.

Less than 30 li away from here, Nanjiang military commander’s expression changed significantly!

Had a high rank launched an attack?

Where was this high rank who launched the attack from?

In the distance, one after another, surging forces arose. Many powerhouses were rushing over here at the speed of light!
