Chapter 151: Blow Up the City!

As it turned out, major cities like Blood Moon City all sat atop giant spar veins buried deep beneath them.

The foreign races of the Star Realm built their cities precisely to occupy these subterranean giant crystal veins.

The existence of garrison cities surrounding the main city was actually related to these mineral veins as well.

After all, the scope of a main city was limited, and the extensive main branches of many giant crystal veins still contained massive amounts of spar!

……

Zhang Ze stared wide-eyed, "You want me to sneak into the underground vein of this garrison city, and then... boom~"

Li Sanqing nodded with a smile.

That would be such a waste!

Yet Zhang Ze did not dwell on this point; instead, he cared more about the civilians inside the city.

Having sneaked into the city a few times back and forth, Zhang Ze naturally knew that the vast majority of the inhabitants within were ordinary Star Realm clansmen.

These people possessed no cultivation; they had their own families, loved ones, children...

You were asking him to blow up an entire city?

Zhang Ze hesitated!

He said in a deep voice, "Did I misunderstand something? If the vein beneath the city is blown up, do the ordinary Star Realm clansmen inside have some special way to save their lives?"

Li Sanqing shook his head. "It's normal that you aren't familiar with this Star Realm space. I can tell you that even the powerhouses of their own race don't care about the life and death of ordinary clansmen."

Zhang Ze found it hard to believe.

Back when he was acting with Jiang Haixin in the cell, those foreign Star Realm beings had even beaten him up!

Li Sanqing fell silent.

Lu Mingyu's reprimand came from beside them, "What the hell do you know, you who just arrived in the Star Realm space?"

"Do you know how many people will die in the war for Anqing City? For all you know, your mentor Wu Di might also..."

"What the hell are you bullshitting about~"

Zhang Ze roared almost at the top of his lungs, "My teacher is a Grade Six powerhouse, and Director Wu is even my teacher's uncle! If you utter another damn word, I'll kill you!"

Lu Mingyu was completely unfazed. "Can't Grade Six die? Do you know that Director Wu is a Grade Nine? Do you know he had to stand by and watch his own son die in battle?"

Bang~

Zhang Ze slammed a fist into Lu Mingyu's face.

"Hah..."

His chest heaving violently, Zhang Ze fell silent.

No one else spoke to urge him further.

A moment later, Zhang Ze asked on his own, "Tell me what to do. Can this thing really explode?"

Li Sanqing smiled and said, "Thanks. Afterwards, you can tell them I blew up the city~"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ze cursed instead, "Get lost, trying to steal my credit, are you?"

"Haha~"

Li Sanqing laughed heartily.

……

Soon, Li Sanqing explained the situation of the spar vein to Zhang Ze, and the latter prepared to set off.

Actually, it was quite simple: the medium-grade spar in Zhang Ze's possession would also detonate if the energy contained within it was subjected to a sudden shock.

It just had to reach a critical threshold!

Perhaps the explosive power of a single medium-grade spar wasn't much, but what about ten thousand of them? One hundred thousand?

Furthermore, which city's underground vein would only contain medium-grade spar? What if high-grade and top-grade spars, which contained far greater energy, were to detonate?

Zhang Ze stopped thinking about it.

Following Li Sanqing's information, Zhang Ze had already adjusted his mindset by the time he sneaked into the city.

After all, whether he could actually pull it off remained to be seen.

While the underground vein of such a garrison city wouldn't have a high-grade powerhouse stationed there year-round, there was definitely a Grade Six present!

Moving with practiced familiarity to the garrison city's main building, Zhang Ze quickly found the drainage pipe leading underground.

Without further hesitation, Zhang Ze squeezed straight into it.

……

Pitch black!

It was fair to say that Zhang Ze could hardly even see his own fingers.

Coupled with the narrowness of the pipe, Zhang Ze's downward speed was severely restricted.

He couldn't help but ponder how he would make a swift retreat afterward once the mineral vein was blown up.

With that thought, Zhang Ze hesitated no longer, his fists continuously pounding against the surrounding soil, frantically widening the pipe.

A full half-hour passed.

Even with his Grade Four cultivation, his arms were beginning to feel numb by this point.

And right at that moment, glimmers of light suddenly appeared in the dark underground.

Ranging from pale red to deep red...

The spar crystals embedded in the soil contained increasingly immense energy the deeper he went.

When the scene before his eyes finally manifested, Zhang Ze was stunned.

A massive amount of red spar!

The energy was extremely turbulent!

The surrounding soil had become exceptionally hard because of these spar crystals.

Zhang Ze went no deeper.

In fact, by this time he could already sense that formidable aura—a Grade Six powerhouse!

However, thanks to the system's concealment skill, Zhang Ze was not worried about being discovered by the other party.

Zhang Ze quickly set to work, gathering the top-grade spar embedded in the surrounding soil.

He hadn't been discovered yet, but once the energy of the crystal mine went haywire, a Grade Six's perception would undoubtedly notice it instantly.

To prevent the other party from containing the rampaging energy in time, Zhang Ze had to ensure the energy burst to a certain level in an instant,

while leaving himself enough time to flee for his life!

……

By the time the pile of top-grade spar before him reached over a meter high, Zhang Ze stopped what he was doing.

At this point, any lingering squeamishness or misplaced compassion was entirely gone from Zhang Ze's heart. Every cell in his body activated in an instant, gripping a piece of medium-grade spar tightly in his hand.

Pop~

The sound was faint.

Yet having practiced it dozens of times, Zhang Ze knew very well that this spar was about to blow.

Zhang Ze hurled the spar in his hand toward the mineral vein and whipped around, bolting back along the path he had come!

Fast!

Faster still!

Feeling the energy behind him growing increasingly violent, Zhang Ze was practically roaring internally.

……

Boom~

The first explosion occurred.

The pile of top-grade spar over a meter high that Zhang Ze had assembled instantly generated an immense wave of energy, impacting even more crystals embedded in the earth.

The Grade Six powerhouse who had guarded this place for years was jolted with shock!

His figure vanished from the spot in a flash, instantly hurtling toward the source of the riot.

The energy around his entire body surged outward as he sought to suppress the rampaging energy.

Otherwise, if the entire underground vein were detonated, not only would he die, but everyone in the entire garrison city would be reduced to dust.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ze had already dashed several dozen meters away.

He saw the light of the exit hole above, but he hadn't noticed the underground turbulent energy expanding any further.

Had it been suppressed?

Zhang Ze was alarmed!

Yet gritting his teeth, he turned right back around.

The man's entire body was radiating wild surges of energy as he desperately fought to suppress the surrounding rioting force.

Even though Zhang Ze suddenly appeared right before him, the man showed no intention of attacking.

He simply couldn't spare a hand!

Moreover, he couldn't perceive Zhang Ze's existence—what did that mean?

This young man was likely far more powerful than he was!

Grade Eight? Or Grade Nine?

While wild speculations raced through the mind of the Grade Six powerhouse, Zhang Ze hauled out his large iron rod from behind his back...

Bang~

Thud~

The first strike slammed into the man's body. The opponent spat a mouthful of blood but refused to give up suppressing the raging energy.

Zhang Ze's expression remained impassive as the second and third strikes descended in succession...

Boom~

The turbulent energy expanded anyway. Seeing this, the other's complexion shifted instantly, and the Grade Six powerhouse was truly terrified!

"Hmph~"

Zhang Ze let out a cold snort and turned to leave.

Climbed upward a dozen meters or so, Zhang Ze blasted apart a piece of top-grade spar and hurled it down into the mineral vein below.

……

It was the explosion of this very piece of top-grade spar that served as the straw that broke the camel's back!

Boom, rumble—!

The deafening roar instantly deafened Zhang Ze, and the energy storm from the very bottom blasted him straight out of the pipe!

The city began to shake, and the ground instantly bulged outward...
