Keyboard Immortal-Chapter 2043: Dazzling Fireworks

The hydrogen bomb actually needed an atomic bomb to ignite it, but Zu An hadn’t expected this monster’s punch to be so strong as to actually create a sufficiently high-temperature, high-pressure environment. It saved him that step and immediately ignited the hydrogen bomb.

Boom! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝐦

A blinding white light erupted from the center of the monster army. Many people within Mengte City had been watching what was happening, and those with lower cultivations immediately clutched their eyes in pain. Immediately after, a massive mushroom cloud soared. The fiery light that erupted in that instant even outshone the sun itself.

The monsters that had been mocking Zu An for using a small metal ball against them all had drastically different expressions. Even such powerful beings sensed extreme danger. They all used their ultimate skills to run away as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the power of the hydrogen bomb’s central blast zone was just too great. They could only scream as their bodies turned to ashes. Meanwhile, the mantis who was known for its strong punch died the most peacefully, because it was instantly vaporized.

An enormous ball of fire surrounded everything within a few kilometers. Almost all of the monsters in the area were burned to ashes. Immediately after, a terrifying shockwave rippled out in all directions. The monsters on the outside instantly caught on fire and were blown into the sky by the shockwave.

The shockwave quickly reached the distant Mengte City. The highest-level defensive formation was shining brightly, but it was quickly covered in countless cracks. A second later, the barrier shattered. An earthquake tore through the entire city, and many houses inside collapsed. Even the wall they had rebuilt collapsed once more.

Fortunately, because of the resistance of the defensive formation, most of Mengte City remained intact. Many people were injured, but didn’t lose their lives. However, they reflexively hid behind cover as they stared at the terrifying mushroom cloud in the distance, which had reached its full size. It reached into the clouds, and the top couldn't be seen anymore. Meanwhile, the bottom half was dozens of kilometers wide! What kind of power was this?

The Second Empress looked at the very center of the explosion with a look of horror. If its power was this great, didn't that mean everything boded ill for Ah Zu?

As if seeing through her worries, Xiao Yi advised her, “Your highness, there is no need to worry. The regent has always acted with confidence in his plans. He will definitely return safely.”

The Second Empress nodded slightly and could only comfort herself with similar words. But could he really be fine after experiencing such a terrifying explosion?

She gritted her teeth, then gathered her thoughts again, commanding her subordinates to rebuild the collapsed wall. The terrifyingly hot winds around them made everything difficult, melting a lot of the ice on the city walls that had seemed as if it would never melt.

Fortunately, the monster army was now in complete disorder and scurrying in all directions. They were definitely in no mood to attack the city further.

...

Meanwhile, a thousand miles out, the Second Prince was leading his troops toward the exit when many mounts stirred restlessly. His troops all sensed something and turned around. They saw a huge ball of fire in the horizon, clearly visible even from all the way where they were. They were all shocked. What was that thing, and how could it be this frightening?

There were some subordinates who asked the Second Prince if they needed to send some people to investigate it. The Second Prince’s expression changed several times, but in the end, he waved his hand and said, “We will carry out a rapid advance and leave the sealed land as quickly as possible.”

Yu Yanluo’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly, but when she secretly observed the Second Prince’s reaction, she felt a bit more at ease.

If this was something even he didn’t know about, it was probably not the monsters’ attack and likely something Ah Zu had come up with.

Ah Zu, you have to stay safe!

...

Meanwhile, Zu An was observing the monsters’ situation several kilometers away from Mengte City. He had used his exchange and instant movement abilities to just barely avoid the main blast of the bomb. Light was flickering all around his body, and the outline of the Tranquility Bell faintly manifested around him. It was clear that with his current cultivation, the blast waves couldn't injure him.

When he saw the situation in the distance, he couldn't help but frown, muttering, “The power of one hydrogen bomb is lower than I imagined...”

Even though the powerful monsters at the dead center of the explosion had melted away on the spot and all of the monsters within a mile died, there were just too many monsters. Even though the monsters on the outer edges had all more or less suffered some injuries, there was no danger to their lives. This was, after all, a monster army with their own defensive formations. Together with their ridiculous strength, the bomb couldn't have killed more than a fifth of the army at most.

Zu An thought back to the destruction caused by tsunamis and earthquakes, and how that was equivalent to many thousands of nuclear weapons. The reason why humans feared nuclear weapons was still just because they were inherently too weak. These monsters were tough and strong, so they had a certain degree of resistance.

As he watched the remaining monsters flee in all directions, Zu An knew that after some time, they would gather together and become a terrifying force again. Even if he used the hydrogen bomb again, they wouldn’t be completely unprepared like before. Even after thought of that, however, he gritted his teeth and made another hydrogen bomb, tossing it where the monsters were the most concentrated.

When they saw it, the monsters all screamed, pointing at the hydrogen bomb while saying something. After learning their lesson from the mantis earlier, no one dared to attack it. Instead, some monsters used their own abilities to divert the hydrogen bomb toward Mengte City. When he saw that, Zu An broke out into a cold shiver and took control over the hydrogen bomb again.

In that time, the monsters had already fled in different directions. When he saw how they scattered, Zu An knew the effects of this bomb would definitely be far less than the first one. The amount of energy he needed to consume to create a hydrogen bomb was quite large. If he could only kill a few monsters with one, that was definitely unacceptable. Was there a way to gather them together again?

Zu An smiled helplessly. Even though these monsters didn’t have much intelligence, they weren’t stupid either. With their earlier lesson, how could they possibly decide to gather up together just to get hit again? freewebno vel.com

Hold up...

He suddenly thought of something and hollered at the running monsters, “Didn’t you all want to invade our world? Why do you only know how to run? Are you monsters all cowards? If you have the skill, why don’t you come and fight us properly?!” With his current cultivation, his voice was already able to fill the entire battlefield.

When she saw that he was safe and sound, the Second Empress couldn't help but sigh in relief. But soon after, she was confused, because she naturally knew that Zu An wanted the monsters to gather up. Even so, those monsters weren’t stupid, so why would they throw their lives away just because of some words of provocation from him?

She wasn’t the only one who had such thoughts. Many people were confused.

The regent is normally brilliant and heroic, so why does he now seem a bit... naive?

But soon after, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets, because they saw the monsters, whom they had thought absolutely wouldn’t turn back, turn around one after another and rush at Zu An. They were all stupefied.

Did these monsters go mad?

All of the monsters felt as if they were going mad. They were clearly supposed to escape from the metal ball, and yet they were being insulted by a human? That was absolutely preposterous!

Humans are only worthy of being our food. When has food ever acted so arrogantly?

Besides, they were fearless monsters to begin with. For the sake of the monsters’ glory, they had to kill that human!

When he saw the monsters scream as they ran at him, Zu An chuckled. It seemed ‘Fragrant Barf’ was useful against these monsters too. Once the skill was activated, the targets would pursue the user relentlessly. Either he died, or they died.

When he saw the black mass of monsters charge at him, Zu An exchanged positions again with the monster farthest out. Immediately after, he teleported several times to move more than ten kilometers away. The monster that was swapped in was completely stunned. It looked at the incoming monsters, seeing that there was no lack of powerful creatures that it normally wouldn’t dare to face, and was immediately scared witless.

But it wasn’t just that monster alone that was scared witless. The charging monsters saw that the hateful human had vanished, and the terrifying metal ball was already right in the middle of all of them.

Boom!

Once again, dazzling fireworks blossomed outside Mengte City.
