Chapter 32: 31. Explosion Spell

31. Explosion Spell

Following the deafening sound of the explosion, waves of terrifying shock surged outward like a tide.

Wherever it passed, soil flew, stones splashed, and trees were snapped at the roots.

Chen An and Wen Zhiyun, who had just run out of the house, were sent flying directly by this shockwave.

The two collided heavily and only managed to stop after rolling several times on the ground.

"It hurts, it hurts so much!"

Chen An lay prone on the ground, his right hand clutching the back of his head tightly, his eyes unable to open from the pain.

During the roll just now, the back of his head had collided with the stones on the ground several times.

He had smashed several stones to pieces.

The price was that the back of his head also felt like it had been smashed.

"Get... get up, hurry up and get off me!"

While Chen An was still in pain, a somewhat panicked, delicate shout suddenly came from beneath him.

He looked down and discovered that Wen Zhiyun had been pinned beneath him at some point, their bodies pressed tightly together, and he could clearly hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.

The back of his head had been hurting so much just now that he hadn't noticed there was someone pinned beneath him...

Chen An thought about getting up off Wen Zhiyun and looked up at the ruins billowing with thick smoke ahead.

The house had collapsed.

It was shattered all over the ground.

Everything was charred black.

Several hideous and terrifying cracks had appeared on the ground.

The power of this Dust Bomb was shockingly great.

The four Black Iron Villa undercover agents in the tunnel had likely been blown to smithereens, dead beyond any doubt.

Wen Zhiyun stood up from the ground and patted the dust off her body with her hands.

Afterward, her gaze fell involuntarily onto Chen An in front of her, and discovering how handsome he was, a ripple stirred in her heart.

Just a moment ago, she had been pressed tightly against the ground by Chen An, and her mind had gone completely blank.

Having been alive for thirty-eight years, this was her first time having such close contact with a man.

Recalling the feeling of being pinned to the ground just now, unable to move, a strange emotion couldn't help but arise in her heart.

It was a very strange emotion, a base craving to be pinned beneath Chen An again, unable to move.

"Husband!"

"Husband, Sister Wen!"

The voices of his wives and concubines came from not far to the side.

Chen An looked in the direction of the voices.

He saw Song Huaying, who was heavily pregnant, and Gu Xinyue, whose right shoulder was injured and bleeding.

"Yue, what happened to you?"

Chen An hurriedly went to greet his icy little concubine, his face full of anxious concern.

Song Huaying, who was to the side, said:

"I don't know what happened just now, but there was a sudden boom next door, and then Sister Wen's house shook violently, and rubble and beams came crashing down in sheets."

"When Sister Gu saw I was about to be hit, she immediately rushed over and used her body to shield me."

"And then, Sister Gu was injured by the debris."

When she said this, a trace of guilt couldn't help but flash across Song Huaying's face.

After understanding the sequence of events.

Chen An immediately took out the Healing Pill he carried with him and, with a pained expression, cleaned the wound and applied medicine for Gu Xinyue.

Fortunately, it was nothing serious, just some abrasions; it would be fine soon after applying some medicine.

【You treated your wife Gu Xinyue's wound, marital affection +1.】

As time passed, the surrounding area gradually filled with a crowd of cultivators who had come to investigate.

These cultivators had all heard that deafening explosion just now.

They had come specifically to see what exactly had happened.

When they saw the charred ruins ahead, which had been blown to pieces and were now only billowing with thick smoke, they couldn't help but feel shocked.

Heavens, the entire house was shattered!

What kind of god-like method could achieve this?

Soon, people from the Bamboo Leaf Gang also arrived.

After seeing the ruins ahead, they were also very shocked, completely unable to imagine what had just happened there.

Seeing this, Chen An immediately stepped forward to explain.

He said that about a stick of incense ago, four Black Iron Villa cultivators at the Qi Refining Late Stage had raided Wen Zhiyun's home at night.

He, living next door, had seen it, so he lured those four to his own home and then used a large number of Explosion Talismans to blow them to death.

He added that their corpses should now be buried in the tunnel of his house; if they hadn't been blown to dust, they should be able to be dug out.

Hearing this explanation from Chen An, the people from the Bamboo Leaf Gang immediately went up to dig open the tunnel.

In less than a quarter of an hour, four charred and mangled corpses were dug out.

After some identification, it was confirmed they were undercover agents from the Black Iron Villa.

"You're saying that these four Black Iron Villa undercover agents, with cultivation as high as the Qi Refining Late Stage, were killed by you using a large number of Explosion Talismans?"

An Elder of the Bamboo Leaf Gang in charge of the team asked with a look of suspicion.

Chen An nodded and said, "Correct, Fellow Daoist Wen next door can testify."

The Elder of the Bamboo Leaf Gang looked toward Wen Zhiyun.

This time, Wen Zhiyun finally knew to cooperate, and following Chen An's answer, she lied, "What Fellow Daoist Chen said is true."

However, the Elder of the Bamboo Leaf Gang remained suspicious after hearing this.

What kind of Explosion Talisman has such great power?

To be able to blow four cultivators with cultivation as high as the Qi Refining Late Stage to death, and blow an entire house to smithereens?

I fear even a Second-tier Talisman wouldn't have this power, right?

Although he felt conflicted, this Elder of the Bamboo Leaf Gang did not get to the bottom of it.

After all, every cultivator has their own secrets, and asking about people's secrets in the world of immortal cultivation is a great taboo.

After understanding the sequence of events.

This Elder of the Bamboo Leaf Gang immediately began to reward Chen An and Wen Zhiyun for their merits, in order to encourage the loose cultivators nearby.

"Killing four Black Iron Villa undercover agents at the Qi Refining Late Stage can exempt you from 8 months of rent."

"But because two houses were destroyed as a result, 2 months of rent exemption must be deducted as compensation; only 6 months of rent can be exempted."

"The two of you may distribute this 6-month rent exemption reward as you please."

"Once you have finished distributing it, come to the Law Enforcement Hall to register with me."

After dropping these words, this Elder of the Bamboo Leaf Gang left with the four charred corpses.

At the same time.

A burst of conversation sounds arose all around.

"6 months of rent exemption, that is equivalent to being rewarded with 600 Low-grade Spirit Stones, it really makes people envious."

"What am I still refining artifacts for, I might as well find a way to ferret out Black Iron Villa undercover agents."

"You, an Artifact Refiner with only Qi Refining Mid-Stage cultivation, should stop joining in the fun; didn't you hear people say these were four Black Iron Villa undercover agents at the Qi Refining Late Stage?"

"..."

Not long after, these cultivators who came to watch dispersed, and the surroundings quickly returned to calm.

During this time, many cultivators came over to ask Chen An about the specific situation, feeling that Chen An had held back just now and had not told the whole truth, or had intentionally concealed something.

Chen An ignored them and simply repeated what he had just said to the Elder of the Bamboo Leaf Gang to them again.

After everyone had left.

Wen Zhiyun immediately looked at Chen An and asked, "How did you manage that big explosion just now?"

She knew that asking about people's secrets was a great taboo, but she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart and could only be willful once and break the rules.

Seeing her curious expression, Chen An knew he was steady.

Because, when a woman develops curiosity toward a man, it means this woman has already fallen into the trap with half a foot.

"I once learned a Dharma Spell that can create an explosion out of thin air through a passage of incantations."

Chen An bluffed.

Wen Zhiyun's curiosity had been completely piqued, and she pressed, "What is this Dharma Spell called?"

"High School Chemistry."

"High what?"

"Fellow Daoist Wen, I can tell you the incantation for this Dharma Spell, but in exchange, you must answer one question for me truthfully."

"I can."

Wen Zhiyun agreed readily.

For her at this moment, nothing was more important than satisfying her own curiosity.

Seeing her take the bait, Chen An leaned to her ear and whispered, "Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, calcium."
