Chapter 71: The Battle at Kunlun Mountains Comes to an End
Caves and passages were continuously collapsing. Jun Wu Xiao and Yue Guang were both desperately trying to escape from this place.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Damn it." Jun Wu Xiao said.
Rocks and dirt kept burying him, the light quickly disappearing from his sight. All he could see now was darkness.
Despite the cave being completely collapsed, Jun Wu Xiao wasn’t on the ground yet. He was buried under several meters of dirt and rock.
"Hurry up, I must quickly escape from here." Jun Wu Xiao thought.
He then struggled to wave his arms to try to raise himself to the surface. He exerted himself as much as possible, causing the oxygen in his body to quickly deplete. Fortunately, he wasn’t buried too deeply, so after a while, he was almost on the surface.
At this moment, an arm pierced through the ground. Jun Wu Xiao crawled out of the dirt and rocks, his body covered in wounds from the fierce battle earlier and scratches from struggling to escape.
"Cough, cough... Yue Guang hasn’t come up yet. I must quickly help her, or she’ll be in danger." Jun Wu Xiao gasped, right now he was lacking oxygen but saving Yue Guang was still a priority.
In a somewhat hidden spot underground, Yue Guang was tightly trapped by the dirt and rocks. She had also given up struggling. She thought:
"I don’t know how long the remaining oxygen will last. I must conserve it. I hope I can still survive."
She didn’t want to struggle because she knew that doing so would surely bring death upon her. The vigorous movement required a lot of oxygen, but at this moment, she couldn’t breathe through her nose, and breathing through her mouth meant she could inhale only a limited amount of oxygen and soil would fall into her mouth.
In short, she staked her life on Jun Wu Xiao. If he arrived in time, she would live. If not, she would die.
Jun Wu Xiao remembered Yue Guang’s exact location underground, so he immediately began to dig. Without tools and no time to search for them, he could only use his bare hands.
He only had one arm left, which was already heavily injured, but he continued to dig relentlessly, worsening his wounds. However, he was in a hurry and ignored his own pain.
After digging for a while, his hand was covered in blood, his fingernails broken, and his bones slightly exposed. Fortunately, the ground didn’t collapse. Otherwise, his efforts would have been wasted.
After some more effort, he finally saw Yue Guang’s head. At this point, she had fainted due to severe oxygen deprivation. However, a cultivator’s body was not ordinary, so as soon as her nose emerged from the suffocation of dirt and rocks, she quickly began to breathe.
Jun Wu Xiao saw that she was still breathing and was very happy, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He thought:
"Great, she’s still alive."
Then he continued to dig, slowly bringing her out of the dirt and rocks. By now, he also noticed that her right leg was gone, but it wasn’t the time to lose focus. Since it wasn’t safe to stay here for long, he reached out to lift her onto the ground.
However, the atmosphere at this moment became somewhat awkward, and he sighed:
"Haiz, I forgot that I only have one arm left. Well, I’ll just carry her on my shoulder then."
Then he carried her to the ground, laid her down next to him, and began to fall asleep.
.....
A few days earlier, at the nearest fortress, Dao San Qian was carrying a lot of explosives to exterminate monsters.
Facing the monster in front of him, he immediately lit the explosives and ran to find the right moment. When the time came, he jumped up and stuffed the explosives directly into the monster’s mouth, then delivered a blow to its chin, sending it flying high.
Not long after, a loud explosion rang out. The monster’s head exploded but was not completely destroyed. But right now, even a normal person is enough to remove the core from its head.
Dao San Qian quickly separated the core from the monster’s head to destroy it. Because it was only a six-meter tall monster, it was easy to kill like that, whereas stronger ones were much harder to blow up.
"Finally finished dealing with the southern part of the fortress. Now, I have to quickly run to the north." Dao San Qian thought.
Then he quickly ran along with the remaining explosives. Not long after, he reached the northern part of the fortress.
As soon as he arrived, he saw the figures of the monsters. Without saying much, he immediately lit the fuse of the explosives and launched the attack.
There were two reasons why he used explosives to destroy any monster instead of relying solely on his physical strength.
Firstly, even though the monsters were weaker than him, their skin was very tough. If he attacked them directly, he would also be injured due to the opposite force.
Secondly, he wanted to train his ability to use explosives. Explosives were something completely new to him. Before facing stronger enemies, he needed to become familiar with using explosives first.
The battle unfolded very quickly. With the significant power difference, he didn’t have to struggle to defeat the six-meter-tall monsters.
In the moment he appeared, a ray of light appeared in a world that had been covered in darkness for many days. It was the appearance of hope.
Their faces, which had been filled with despair, now brimmed with vitality. The soldiers cheered joyfully:
"Quick, look over there! Someone has quickly defeated the monsters. We’re saved!"
"That’s wonderful! Let’s hurry over there and see if we can help."
"Exactly, let’s move quickly. We must thank that god who helped us escape from danger."
"God? You’re not wrong to say that. With such power, calling him a god wouldn’t be wrong."
.....
The lord of the fortress had witnessed everything. Although Dao San Qian handled the situation extremely quickly, it left a profound impact on him.
Inside the fortress, countless people had died over the past few days, and now this nightmare had ended so quickly that he felt what had happened was unreal. It seemed as though it was just his imagination when faced with extreme despair.
He pinched his face hard, feeling the pain on his cheek. Instead of crying out in pain, he felt extremely happy. He laughed loudly:
"Ha ha ha, the nightmare has finally ended. I must quickly go meet the one who helped us. No, I should say the beloved god who helped this fortress."
Then he immediately spurred his horse to ride quickly to where the monsters had fallen. Since the soldiers who had encountered the monsters hadn’t returned to the northern part of the fortress to report yet, it was obvious that the lord wouldn’t know.
After defeating all the monsters, Dao San Qian took a look around the fortress. He sighed:
"Haiz, these monsters are truly the scourge of the world. I need to prepare enough explosives to quickly rescue other fortresses in need."
Then he went to find the army of this fortress to request more explosives because he had used up all the explosives he had brought with him.
