The Fourth Financial Crisis

The violent smoke caused by the full combustion of a large amount of gunpowder filled the place where the Chinese army's tent was with choking smoke. Lin Dong's originally sharp sword energy was like a duck suddenly stuck in the throat, and all its momentum disappeared in an instant.

Although the berth of the Sea Cliff Fleet was a full two kilometers away from the marching tent where the explosion occurred, the huge explosion and roar could be clearly discerned even within a radius of several miles as long as one was not blind.

Fortunately for the Guhong Island military camp, the soldiers on Guhong Island have long been accustomed to Tian Beixi's gunpowder tests. Although the explosion was louder than any previous gunpowder test, everyone just felt that Tian Xianzi had probably started practicing magic again. Not too surprised, but the huge explosion caused a commotion on the Haiya Fleet side.

It’s not that everyone has never seen such an explosion of momentum.

After all, the high-level cultivators in the Kyushu cultivation world can be called nuclear bomb launchers per capita. In the Tianshu City incident last month alone, the battle in which Master Chen Ming held the Mountain Eagle Sword to kill the Black Pool Jiao King was even more powerful than this time. The explosion of black powder was hundreds of times astonishing. Although the soldiers in Haiya City were all mortals, everyone had more or less seen the scene of the immortal master casting spells.

But the crux of the problem is that outlying islands should be forbidden areas that cultivators cannot set foot in. When everyone was called over to fight, they were all told to fight against the mortal army. Now seeing such a terrifying explosion, the mercenary soldiers of the Sea Cliff Fleet They all feel like they've been cheated.

The power of this kind of explosion may not be able to be resisted by ordinary Haiya Sect immortal masters!

What monster have we been brought to fight?

After seeing the huge explosion, Han Fulai grabbed a local aboriginal guide from the outlying island and asked repeatedly: "What happened just now? Is it your so-called Tianbeixi magic? This power is simply too outrageous. ! Although this movement is far inferior to my uncle’s spell casting, it is definitely not something that ordinary Haiya Sect disciples in the early stages of Qi Refining can produce!"

"No...that's right, this is Tian Beixi's magic!" The local guide stuttered in reply, "But Tian Beixi's magic was definitely not this powerful before. Could it be...could it be that she deliberately hid it?" Strength?"

Han Fulai immediately turned to Yang Lu and said, "Counsellor Yang, let's run. I'm afraid this Tian Beixi is really not a monk in the early stage of Qi refining!"

However, Yang Lu shook his head seriously: "This is not a cultivation spell, because I didn't notice the fluctuation of spiritual energy at all!"

"There is no spiritual energy fluctuation? How is this possible?"

Yang Lu did not answer, but once again activated another basic spell - [Five Senses Strengthening]!

This basic spell is an advanced spell of Eagle Eye. It consumes slightly more spiritual energy, but it can greatly enhance the cultivator's vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch at the same time. Because when cultivators fight, most of them use The more sensitive spiritual sense is used to judge the enemy's situation, which also makes the actual combat effect of the five-sense enhancement technique quite useless.

However, there was no spiritual energy wave coming from the center of this explosion, so the useless magic of strengthening the five senses was rarely useful.

With the blessing of the spell, although Yang Lu was thousands of meters away from the battlefield, he felt as if he was at the center of the explosion. He could clearly feel the "cracking" sound of flames burning at the explosion site and the pungent smell in the air.

etc……

Why does this pungent smell sound like sulfur?

After realizing that this was the special pungent smell produced by sulfides, Yang Lu instantly realized the nature of the explosion.

This Tian Beixi's magic method is actually the legendary black powder?

I was afraid that I might not have met a female cultivator scientist!

"Brother Yang, what exactly did you discover? Our entire fleet is still waiting for your information!"

Hearing Han Fulai's urging, Yang Lu came to his senses and replied with a strange expression: "Tian Beixi is not a high-level cultivator. What Lin Dong said is not wrong. She should be an ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivator. .”

"The explosion just now..."

"That's some kind of special mortal method, but it's strange. The power of the black powder explosion shouldn't be so powerful!"

Yang Lu didn't know that cultivation scientist Tian Beixi had invented the "immortal mixing and mixing" and "confined space explosion" technologies, which greatly enhanced the destructive power of gunpowder. Seeing the power that was close to that of high explosives, he didn't know for a moment How to answer Han Fulai's question.

Is it possible that the physical rules of the world of cultivation are different from those of the earth?

Yang Lu himself couldn't figure out the situation, and others were even more confused.

This powerful mundane technology has completely exceeded the cognitive level of the natives of the Jiuzhou cultivation world. They simply cannot imagine that mortal methods can have such destructive power, so they call it magic.

"Brother Yang, what do you think we should do?"

"If what I predict is correct, as long as our fleet is anchored at sea, Tian Beixi will not be able to harm us, not to mention..."

"Not to mention what?"

"What's more, our Immortal Master Lin from the Wuliang Sword Sect is not dead yet!"

…

After the smoke and dust from the gunpowder explosion gradually dissipated, Lin Dong's figure was revealed again.

For normal cultivators, spiritual consciousness is always their first choice to observe the enemy's situation. No matter how powerful the opponent's spell is, when the spell is actually used to hurt someone, it will inevitably cause a surge in the aura environment.

Because the aura environment is an essential medium for cultivators to cast spells!

Therefore, it is easier for cultivators to pay attention to changes in the aura environment and detect the enemy's situation as early as possible than through observation through the five senses.

However, in the violent black powder explosion just now, even though the shock wave and explosion sound had reached Lin Dong's ears, he still did not feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy, which gave him no time to respond. In the end, Lin Dong completely relied on the body-protecting Qi of the "Infinite Heart Sutra" to withstand this violent explosion, which was equivalent to the late stage of Qi refining.

Although the Wuliang Sword Sect is not known for its mind skills, the "Infinite Heart Sutra" is a serious heaven-level skill after all. Although the energy detonated by black powder is huge, it is not focused enough, which allowed Lin Dongcai to luckily save a small life.

Although Lin Dong avoided the fate of sudden death, using the body's protective energy to withstand the explosion was not without consequences.

The body-protecting Gangqi is the manifestation of the circulation of spiritual energy in the cultivator's body. When the body-protecting Gangqi suffered a heavy blow, Lin Dong felt as if the few remaining spiritual energies in his body had gone berserk, rushing along the meridians of his body, even though these spiritual energies were still there. Staying in his body, he felt that he could no longer effectively operate it with his spiritual consciousness.

At this time, Lin Dong was like a dying terminal cancer patient. Although he appeared to have no external injuries, he had to hold on to his flying sword to avoid being thrown into the mud on the spot.

Just when Lin Dong was trying to concentrate and regulate his breathing to recover as quickly as possible, Tian Beixi did not give him this chance.

Lin Dong only saw that the ground more than ten meters in front of him suddenly collapsed into a pit, and then a female cultivator with a curvy figure but a somewhat gray face emerged from the tunnel.

Tian Beixi must have dug an explosion-proof tunnel or other bunker facilities for herself in advance, so apart from her appearance, which looked a little embarrassed and completely lacking her usual elegant temperament, she did not suffer any substantial damage from the explosion.

Seeing this woman taking the initiative to show up, Lin Dong said with difficulty: "You...are you Tian Beixi?"
