Chapter 266: Annihilating An Jia! The Group Quest and the Mushroom Cloud (Part 1)

"What the hell are you talking about?" Cold Ming Guang couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it, I'm in this sorry state, and my ass is in pain. Isn't it extremely appropriate and reasonable for me to feel this way?"

But instead of comforting him, they added insult to injury.

"What do you mean my ass is gone?" Cold Ming Guang cried out in pain.

"It's cooked and hanging on a tree, and it still hurts like hell! I'll be damned if I'm not in pain!"

The two men were about to respond when Song Ru's counterattack arrived! They quickly stood up to defend themselves and retaliate, saying, "Give up your physical body. At least your divine soul is still intact, and you can possess another body or find a way to reconstruct your physical form..."

Cold Ming Guang couldn't take it anymore. "Don't you think I know all this? The problem is I'm in a terrible state! I was done in, and I don't even know how it happened!"

Cold Ming Guang abandoned his physical body, and his divine soul hid behind the two men, gritting his teeth and transmitting his thoughts, "Did you see who did this and what method they used?"

"We didn't see clearly," they replied, their voices filled with caution. But both shook their heads, indicating they hadn't seen anything.

They then asked, "That's not right. You're the 'victim,' so you should know the most about it. Why are you asking us?"

"Yeah, Cold Ming Guang, you're in such a state, and you don't even have a clue about what happened?"

"If I had a clue, I wouldn't be asking you!" Cold Ming Guang's divine soul trembled with rage. "How the hell should I know?"

"I just felt something was off with my ass, and then I felt a sharp pain. Now, just thinking about it makes me want to scream! And then... it was scorching!"

"Yes, it was scorching hot, an indescribable and unparalleled heat!"

"I've never experienced such high temperatures, and even my divine sense was scorched and severely injured. The heat came and went in an instant, but it was enough to leave an impression. You two should have a better understanding of what happened since you witnessed it all."

"So, what exactly happened?"

The two brothers exchanged glances, their scalps tingling. "We didn't see clearly either. As you said, the temperature was too high and intense for even our divine senses dared not approach and couldn't probe."

"We just saw your ass explode, and then a small sun swallowed you up."

"And then..."

"Then what happened?!"

"Wait!"

One of them suddenly realized, "Big brother, was that... a mushroom cloud?"

"Mushroom cloud?" The other brother's eyes widened in shock.

Recalling the fleeting scene, he shuddered, "You know, now that I think about it, it really was a mushroom cloud!"

"Mushroom cloud?" Cold Ming Guang was taken aback.

At that moment, a distant yet unforgettable memory resurfaced in the minds of the three men.

Cold Ming Guang slowly transmitted his thoughts, "Is it the kind of mushroom cloud I'm thinking of?"

"Yes!"

"Absolutely!"

"But it's even stronger, bigger, and more intense!"

"So, it's that guy. Does he have some kind of technological system that allows him to use nuclear weapons to attack people, and he can appear silently behind others to launch a surprise attack?"

Their scalps tingled.

They weren't afraid of conventional thermal weapons.

The Barrett was no threat to them either; they were already at the Eighth Realm. Who would fear a Barrett?

But to say they weren't afraid of any thermal weapons would be an exaggeration.

As the saying goes, "Thermal weapons don't believe in carbon-based life. If a thermal weapon doesn't work on a carbon-based life form, it's not hot enough!"

They had heard this saying before.

While they weren't afraid of conventional thermal weapons, nuclear weapons were a different story. In a sense, their power could be considered limitless, and as modern people, the thought of nuclear weapons, especially being used on themselves, was terrifying.

Especially since Cold Ming Guang had already experienced the consequences firsthand...

"What... what are we going to do now?"

At that moment, the three of them were in a difficult situation.

...

"Hiss?!"

Song Ru was shocked, "So it was Lord Lin who used long-range annihilation to defeat the powerful being from the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty back then?"

"I'm ashamed, so ashamed."

Lin Fan smiled embarrassedly, "My cultivation is low, and this is the only move I can barely use."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Fan Jianqiang chimed in from the side.

...

Si Wu Ya's face turned pale, "Is this the power that the Barrett should have?"

"Yes."

The cracks on Lin Fan's arms quickly healed, and he said innocently, "Didn't you all see it with your own eyes? I only fired one shot, what else could it be if not the power of the Barrett?"

Si Wu Ya: "(⊙o⊙)..."

Little Wizard: "(ΩДΩ)...?!"

Me, the Holy Daughter Knight: "┐(。Д。)┌!!!!"

"What the...?!"

Everyone was stunned.

Who isn't a time traveler?

Who hasn't seen a nuclear explosion before?

Even if they hadn't witnessed it firsthand, they must have seen it on TV or in the news, right?

After all, in any time and space, before they crossed over, the feet-washing chicken was the only one to have tasted the power of a nuclear bomb, and not just one, but two!

It could even be a Guinness World Record!

But now, you're telling us that this is the power of the Barrett? No, whose Barrett fires a 'World Nuking Bomb'?

However, you're so mean, and we like it so much! Even though we're shocked and there are so many plot holes.

But this is a good thing.

The stronger the teammates, the more excited they are.

After all, the situation just now could be described as precarious.

...

"That was a nuclear bomb??"

The other Eighth Realm group members hadn't taken action, but instead of leaving immediately, they were paying close attention to this battle.

When they saw Cold Ming Guang suddenly disappear under a mushroom cloud, losing his physical body, everyone reacted after a brief moment of shock.

"It really is!" Xin You Dao exclaimed, "He's a cultivator, how did he manage to create a nuclear bomb?"

They exchanged thoughts rapidly.

"He must have some kind of high-tech system, right? I've read similar novels before."

"If it were an ordinary nuclear bomb, launched by a missile, even with various trajectories and fragmentation, we wouldn't have to worry. It's easy to intercept or dodge."

"But his nuclear bomb is too mysterious. I didn't even see what happened clearly, and I didn't sense the bomb breaking through the air, but Cold Ming Guang suddenly exploded."

"And then he screamed in pain!"

"This person..."

"Can't be taken lightly!"

"Indeed!"

They all agreed.

At the same time, everyone unanimously decided to strengthen their defenses, especially around their buttocks.

Even just a glance made them feel a tingling sensation in their anuses.

Moreover, this wasn't just a simple explosion of the anus, but the entire buttocks were directly blown away!

"Speaking of which, Cold Ming Guang and his two companions have kicked an iron plate, haven't they?"

"Hehe, back when we were chatting in the group, this Cold Ming Guang always loved to show off and had no sense of righteousness. He deserved this!"

"I've always said that any time traveler who survives the beginner stage should not be underestimated. If you can avoid provoking them, it's best to do so, or else it's easy to capsize in a ditch. But he didn't believe me!"

"Well, now he knows."

"Serves him right!"

"..."

They muttered, closely observing the battlefield, especially Lin Fan.

However, no one showed any intention of taking action.

...

"Again!"

Lin Fan's arms finally recovered, he loaded the bullet, and the gun barrel suddenly extended.

"This?!"

Such an absurd scene left everyone stunned.

Wow! We're at least several dozen li apart! And now your gun barrel is directly in my face?

What kind of ghost Barrett is this, with such a long barrel?! They naturally wouldn't sit and wait for their demise, and immediately took evasive action.

At the same time, Cold Ming Guang exclaimed, "Did you all see it just now? Did he also extend his gun barrel like this, and then..."

"We didn't see it."

"We really didn't see it."

"It's impossible. We were facing each other just now, how could his gun barrel possibly extend directly behind your buttocks? Could it be that the barrel can bend?"

"No way."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They had initially felt relieved, thinking they had grasped the key point and understood how Lin Fan attacked, and also knew how to defend against it."

But suddenly, they realized something was amiss! His previous shot wasn't like that at all!

"Be careful, don't let him hit you!"

Cold Ming Guang shouted.

Although they were prepared and saw the gun barrel, no one felt confident.

As modern people, their reverence for nuclear weapons was almost ingrained in their bones.

Who knew if they could withstand it?

In any case...

It's best to dodge!

"Boom!!!"

Lin Fan pulled the trigger.

With the enhancement of the several dozen li long gun barrel, the bullet's speed had already reached its peak even before leaving the barrel.

"Dodge!"

Cold Ming Guang's divine soul trembled.

The other two brothers also immediately took evasive action.

"No way!"

Song Ru seized the opportunity and burst into action, not aiming to kill them, but to temporarily restrict their movements.

Two magical treasures unleashed their power, a flying boat descended, and a giant sword slashed through the air.

"Get out of here!"

Cold Ming Guang's divine soul roared, he had lost his physical body, and his divine soul was also injured, but he had a secret divine soul technique that erupted at this moment, which was also quite powerful, managing to block the flying boat for an instant.

As the two brothers combined their efforts and unleashed a combination attack, they managed to knock away the flying boat and the giant sword. Just as they were about to launch a counter-attack against Lin Fan and his group, their hearts suddenly raced, and their spiritual senses went haywire with warnings.

"No, something's wrong!"

"Behind us... danger!"

Their divine senses instantly scanned the area behind them.

To their shock, the seemingly ordinary bullet suddenly changed direction and was rapidly heading towards their backsides!

"This bullet can turn corners!"

The two men trembled, their scalps tingling. "Be careful!"

They dared not let their guard down for a moment and even stopped attacking Lin Fan's group. Instead, they turned around to defend against this single bullet.

"But..."

"Could a nuclear warhead fit into such a small bullet?"

"What kind of crazy black tech system is this?"

"And the bullet can even turn corners, is it a homing missile?"

They were full of complaints, but at the same time, they frantically deployed various defensive measures, barely managing to dodge the bullet.

But...

Suddenly, a formation lit up in the void.

There was no visible formation eye, base, or any other formation-related elements. Yet, in this clear and cloudless void, a bizarre formation suddenly appeared, and countless threads burst forth, binding them tightly, as if 'tying them up'.

"How is this possible?!"

The two men were shocked beyond belief. This sudden turn of events exceeded their understanding, leaving them feeling incredulous and utterly confused.

"We're done for!"

Boom!!!

The sun seemed to appear out of nowhere, and a mushroom cloud rose into the sky...

The two men, unable to escape, were hit head-on by the attack.

Even with their bindings, they couldn't use many of their defensive measures.

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

Without hesitation, Song Ru took action, employing all kinds of techniques and unleashing his full power.

He even took out several disposable magical artifacts, some purchased within the group and some bestowed by the Holy Land, and used them all at once, bombarding the area.

When everything subsided...

There was no trace of Cold Ming Guang and his two companions.

Not even a single hair was left behind.

"They're dead!"

Si Wu Ya gasped, "666, that's some serious power! Who's the big shot behind this?"

"It's mind-blowing," the Holy Daughter Knight shivered. "With such strength, if they went to my world, they could easily bring about the end of the world. It's terrifying!"

The Magician spoke up, "In my world, it would be about the same, unless a deity intervened! Even then, it's hard to say who's stronger when comparing them to the peculiar abilities of those deities, which are more inclined towards rule-based powers. I can't say for sure who's superior."

"None of that matters. What's important is, was that just now a formation?" Gou Sheng suddenly spoke up. "Damn! Whose technique is this?"

"It's not me," said Lin Fan, holstering his gun.

"It's not me, Song Ru, or Su Yan either," they replied.

"Huh?"

"What?"

"No way!"

"Are you saying it's not one of you three?"

"You hid it well, almost fooling us. We nearly believed it was one of you. Come on, which one of you is it? This level of formation mastery... damn, you're trying to scare us to death, aren't you?"

"I thought it was you guys!!!"

"..."

The four of them started arguing.

The reason? In the very spot where Cold Ming Guang and his companions had disappeared, a brand new and terrifying formation had appeared!

The formation was filled with a dense and intimidating aura of the Five Elements and their corresponding paths.

(Chapter End)

Subsequently, it transformed into five massive Quintessence Mills, relentlessly crushing everything within the array's range...

Even invisible atoms, atomic nuclei, and the like were ground to dust!

Divine Soul fragments couldn't escape either; they were all pulverized, completely reduced to nothingness...

What the hell is this array?

Xin You Dao immediately opened the Group Shop, and then, damn.

"Quintessence Annihilation Array!"

"Once formed, without resistance, it can annihilate everything within the Five Elements."

"..."

"This?"

"Cold Ming Guang and the others are completely finished. Even with death replacement or resurrection treasures, they're useless. All marks will be obliterated by these Quintessence Mills, erased... No hope of resurrection!"

"So, you're still saying it wasn't you who made the move???"

"I thought it was you!"

"..."

"I thought you had changed, but you didn't even stab or provide a full service."

Lin Fan winked at Gou Sheng, and everything was implied.

"How is that possible? A full funeral service is a must, especially since these guys are all crossers with external chat group cheats. We need not only a full service but also a 'high-end' one!"

Gou Sheng responded with a look.

Lin Fan had seen this array before.

Or, to be precise, he had seen an incomplete version.

The Quintessence Annihilation Array was used by Gou Sheng when he was 'liberating' 'Ancient Moon'.

But at that time, the Quintessence Annihilation Array was still incomplete, and the scene was far less shocking than it is now.

With Gou Sheng in charge of 'liberating', Lin Fan gradually felt relieved.

However, Gou Sheng remained as steady as an old dog, exclaiming, "Holy shit, what array is this? So scary!"

"It's indeed terrifying!"

Song Ru's mouth twitched, "Just a glance from afar, but I can barely sense it, it's like... everything is being annihilated, decomposed... So terrifying!"

Si Wu Ya patted his forehead, "So, who is this big shot who made the move?"

"But then again, who cares who it is?" Gou Sheng muttered, "Since the big shot doesn't want to show himself, we shouldn't keep asking, right?"

"To avoid displeasing that big shot."

"Yeah, that makes sense!" Lin Fan chimed in.

Su Yan also said, "Second Senior Brother's words are very true!"

Everyone: "..."

The Quintessence Annihilation Array took half an incense stick's time to gradually dissipate.

"Fellow group members, it's time to leave.
