Chapter 1388: Chapter 1388
Tang Ming’s mouth twitched, damn it, just when they got to the crucial part, it was interrupted, such a tease.
Following Wang Chen’s gaze, Tang Ming saw a continuously flickering red dot swiftly flying towards them.
"Young master, what is this?"
Wang Chen slowly stood up, looking at Tang Ming with confusion.
"I don’t know either, it’s not something I brought."
Tang Ming squinted his eyes, staring intently at the red dot.
"Unmanned aerial vehicle?"
As the red dot came closer, Tang Ming could finally make out the whole structure of the unknown object.
"What kind of device? What’s it for?"
Wang Chen looked at Tang Ming, puzzled.
Just as Tang Ming was about to speak, his collar loosened, and Little Red flew to hover above his head, baring its teeth at the flying object and continuously chirping.
Wang Chen glanced at Little Red in surprise, "How come there’s a Spiritual Beast in the city?"
"What’s wrong with Little Red, have you discovered something?"
Seeing Little Red in this state, Tang Ming hurriedly asked, but unfortunately, he had no idea what Little Red was saying and could only feel anxious.
"Old man, are we going to have trouble?"
Tang Ming reminded solemnly, considering that an aerial vehicle appearing in a place surely intended no good.
"Hahaha, young master, don’t worry, I am a Two-star Martial General; in this city, no one can harm you in front of me."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chen laughed arrogantly.
"You’re a Martial General? And a Two-star?"
Tang Ming widened his eyes, looking at Wang Chen in disbelief.
What is going on with his family? A servant possessing the cultivation of a Two-star Martial General, doesn’t that mean this family’s power defies the heavens?
As the flying object rapidly approached within fifty meters of Tang Ming and Wang Chen, Little Red anxiously flapped its wings.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
Little Red chirped rapidly, then opened its mouth, emitting a red laser that quickly shot towards the flying object.
Before Tang Ming and Wang Chen could react, the red laser hit the flying object, triggering a loud explosion.
The entire sky was illuminated by a fiery red glow, followed by a sweltering heat engulfing the world.
"Oh no, it’s a bomb."
Tang Ming exclaimed in horror.
"Young master, don’t be afraid, this old servant can protect you."
Wang Chen immediately positioned himself in front of Tang Ming, rapidly performing a sealing gesture, a powerful energy surged from within him, forming a tangible white energy shield in front of them.
"Is this the power of a Martial General? So formidable!"
Covering his eyes, Tang Ming exclaimed in disbelief, feeling a suffocating pressure during Wang Chen’s outburst.
"This old servant is merely a Two-star Martial General; to real masters, I’m but an ant, however, I can surely protect the young master... oh no, I can’t hold it!
Wang Chen, with a grave expression, shouted, "Young master, follow the path behind me, run quickly, I will not die before you."
"No, we’ll run together."
Tang Ming shouted anxiously.
Wang Chen roared, delivering a kick to Tang Ming’s chest, using skillful force to send him flying.
"You bastards, eighteen years and yet you still won’t leave my young master alone, this old servant will fight you to the end."
After sending Tang Ming flying, Wang Chen bellowed in anger, his body began emitting a glow, turning into an energy ball in the immense energy shockwave, momentarily resisting the blast’s wave.
Watching Wang Chen swallowed by the explosion, Tang Ming screamed with wide eyes, unable to break free from the force Wang Chen exerted on him, helplessly watching him vanish into the dust.
After Wang Chen disappeared, the powerful explosion finally swept towards Tang Ming.
Tang Ming’s face changed drastically, he hadn’t expected the explosion to be so powerful, hurriedly using cultivation to raise his Gang Qi, trying to fend off the explosive energy, but then...
In the end, Tang Ming screamed, getting engulfed by the explosive energy as well.
A massive mushroom cloud slowly rose from the direction of Wangjiao Town, lighting up the entire night sky.
The entire town was instantly flattened, and the surrounding mountains were blasted to ashes.
Inside a constantly trembling helicopter, Hao Jian tightly gripped the handle, shocked as he watched the distant rising mushroom cloud, "The power of this explosion is excessive; despite being so far away, we can still feel such strong tremors, it feels like an atomic bomb!"
"Haha, if the power wasn’t big enough, how could it kill a Nine-star Martial Master."
Yan Qinglong, holding onto the constantly shaking plane due to the shockwave, laughed heartily.
"Yes, yes, with such explosive power, not only a Nine-star Martial Master, but even those stronger would have no burial place."
Hao Jian nodded repeatedly, simultaneously asking Yan Qinglong with suspicion, "Something’s not right! From the video just now, it seemed the plane exploded before reaching Tang Ming, could he have escaped?"
"You saw the explosion’s power, a mere dozen meters distance won’t matter, it could definitely obliterate Tang Ming without leaving a trace."
Yan Qinglong dismissively chuckled.
"Without seeing Tang Ming’s corpse with my own eyes, I can’t be at ease."
Hao Jian shook his head gravely.
"Don’t worry, after the explosion, we’ll go check to see if he’s dead."
Yan Qinglong looked excitedly towards the scorched area not far away.
"Go there? Are you joking, what if he’s not dead?"
Hao Jian shivered in fear, saying cautiously, "That guy is a Nine-star Martial Master, if he survived the explosion, we’re done for."
"Coward, I am prepared."
Yan Qinglong gave Hao Jian a look and took out a remote control and a drone: "We’ll use the drone to check out the situation, that way we won’t expose our identities and can still find out."
"Haha, Director Yan, you’re truly prepared, I’m impressed!"
Hao Jian laughed heartily.
"Dealing with a Nine-star Martial Master, if we’re not well-prepared, we might end up dead ourselves."
Yan Qinglong smiled smugly and began controlling the drone to fly towards the explosion site.
Hao Jian and Yan Qinglong stared at the display on the remote control, observing the situation through the drone’s camera.
Quickly, the drone transmitted images of a scorched earth scene, the former site of Wangjiao Town was nowhere to be found, thousands of meters around the town had turned into scorched earth, blown into an empty space several times larger than the original area of the town.
"Hurry and see if there’s Tang Ming’s body."
Hao Jian urged impatiently.
"With such a fierce explosion, Tang Ming’s body is likely long vaporized, impossible to leave a body."
Yan Qinglong remarked confidently while maneuvering the drone.
