Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 245 - 86: When the Whale Falls, All Things Thrive

Chapter 245: Chapter 86: When the Whale Falls, All Things Thrive

Opening a mine requires the use of explosives.

However, due to policy reasons, it has become increasingly difficult to get approval for explosives in recent years, leading to a switch to static blasting and gas blasting methods.

High explosives are particularly rare.

Fang Zheng managed to acquire some through the kiln entrance, which took considerable effort, to the extent that Mr. Zhao gave special instructions due to the large quantity.

This ignites the fuse.

The entire Fang Mansion was completely enveloped by the destructive power of the explosives.

The core area,

Instantly vaporized!

Billowing smoke and dust surged hundreds of meters away, with fierce winds sweeping through and deafening booms causing temporary deafness.

Martial Artists are also human, also flesh and blood.

This is something Fang Zheng deeply understands.

The bodies of Blood Swapping Martial Artists are comparable to fierce beasts, far exceeding ordinary people, yet they can still be taken down by a bullet, even Three Blood Martial Artists can’t withstand firearms.

Martial Artists are stronger.

Yet they cannot disregard firearms.

Facing high-power explosives, there is similarly no escape from disaster.

With Song Kewang’s death, the Anxi Army became leaderless, and with the city ravaged by demons, there was no one to attend to them.

It was just the right time to leave.

"What a pity..."

Gazing at the Fang Mansion engulfed in flames, letting the fierce winds blow his long hair, Fang Zheng squinted slightly, gently shook his head:

"Left in too much of a hurry, couldn’t bring out many good things, thousands of taels of silver worth of things... all gone."

"Huh?"

He turned around, expressing surprise, his expression bitter.

So unlucky?

"Get down!"

It was just when he was immersed in the explosive power, a troop of Anxi Army soldiers surrounded the Fang Mansion convoy out of nowhere, one of them pointing a gun:

"Get down quickly!"

"Da... da..."

Households Commander Ming slowly rode up, stopping in front of Hundred Households Commander Kong and others, his gaze icy beneath the mask:

"Where are you all planning to go?"

"..." Hundred Households Commander Kong’s face turned pale, half from severe injury, half from fear, his knees gave way and he knelt directly to the ground.

"Spare me, my lord!"

?

Fang Zheng’s lip twitched.

No fear of godlike opponents, just fear of piglike teammates. Before they even asked, he already confessed. Now, they can only stick their necks out and wait for death.

"Spare you?"

Households Commander Ming turned his head slightly, eyes flashing:

"Where General Song was headed seems to be where you came from, and now there’s an anomaly over there, could it be related to you?"

"No!"

Hundred Households Commander Kong was not truly foolish, it was just a moment of panic, he quickly regained his senses:

"It was my negligence in looking after Young Master Song, the Fang Mansion was suddenly attacked by demons, we resisted with all our might but were ultimately outmatched, causing the unfortunate death of Young Master Song at the hands of demons."

"Is that so?"

Households Commander Ming was noncommittal, surveying the people present, each covered in injuries, along with women and children, the coldness in his eyes slightly softened.

With Young Master Song in trouble, it was conceivable for General Song to sense it and hastily arrive.

However...

What was the anomaly just now?

Could it be these people, due to negligence in protection and knowing they can’t escape punishment, are planning to escape?

With thoughts churning, he spoke slowly:

"Come back with me."

"This..." Hundred Households Commander Kong looked up, then agreed:

"Yes."

"Fang Zheng."

"I am here."

Fang Zheng clasped his fists and salute:

"Greetings, Lord Households Commander."

"The incident occurred at your residence, you..." Households Commander Ming’s words halted midway, his gaze at Fang Zheng suddenly became suspicious.

As if realizing something, he nodded lightly:

"We’ll speak more upon our return."

"Yes."

Fang Zheng agreed, the lines on his wrist lit up, ready to perform a grand escape back to modern society if anything seemed amiss.

......

The turmoil at the Fang Mansion was so intense that it shook half of Gu’an County, cries of an earthquake echoing without end.

Additionally, several figures darted toward the explosion’s core, checking the situation.

"What’s going on?"

The long-silent Patriarch Linghu An also appeared near the Fang Mansion, frowning as he looked at the Martial Artist bodyguard Gong Xiong beside Lord Yan:

"Has the explosives depot ignited?"

"Explosives depot..." Gong Xiong shook his head:

"It couldn’t have such power."

He knew well that the Gu’an County explosives depot had been emptied before Lord Yan arrived, not even fit for raising mice.

Moreover...

Though the Imperial Court wielded explosives, their power was lackluster, with none capable of encompassing acres of land.

Unless...

Magic!

Yet such powerful magic had never been witnessed.

If so,

It would only be at the hands of a legendary Master.

......

"There’s no mana fluctuation." Chen Jiuniang from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion appeared on a rooftop, her long sword lightly trembling, her beautiful eyes solemnly gazing:

"It wasn’t a Mage or a Master, how was it done?"

This method is utterly terrifying.

Absolutely bewildering!

"Hmm?"

Her Spiritual Sword Heart made her beautiful eyes flash; a warning sign suddenly arose in her heart. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Danger!

"General!"

Ahead of others, the Personal Guard of the Commander rushed to the ruins of the Fang Mansion, the scene before them causing the leader’s face to change dramatically, shouting as they charged forward.

"General!"

After the explosion, the decorative rooftops and green tiles disappeared entirely, even the tall courtyard walls crumbled.

Inside,

Only ruins remained.

No sign of life, not even corpses.

"Ka-cha..."

In the center of the debris, the earth slightly trembled, a faint sound catching the Personal Guard’s attention, joy lighting up their eyes:

"General?"

"Bang!"

The soil exploded, a shadow leaping up from within.

The figure landed heavily, the body covered in bloody wounds, supporting itself with a sword, shrouded in an invisible bloody aura.

"General!"

Seeing the familiar figure, the Personal Guard leader was ecstatic:

"You’re unharmed..."

"Pff!"

The sword flashed, the figure abruptly appeared behind the Personal Guard leader, thrusting the long sword through the leader’s heart, the bloodstained blade shimmering with an eerie light.
