Chapter 402: Strengthened Heavenly Thunderbolt Atomic Hand Grenades
“What happened?”
The old Golden Immortal Fox frowned and asked, but the True Immortal Fox did not respond. A blood shade appeared over his body, though it soon faded. It was soon followed by a look of astonishment on his face, and he could not help exclaiming, “No way, that’s impossible… How could this be?!”
“What actually happened?”
The old Daemon Fox chided.
The True Immortal Fox’s eyes were all red as he uttered through gnashing teeth, “Elder, there’s nothing… there’s nothing at all. I’ve already pushed the secret bloodline technique to the limit, but I can’t feel any echoes!”
“Everyone in our Green Hill clan… is gone!”
Whoosh!
The old Daemon Fox and the other Daemon Foxes all paled, while another True Immortal Fox barked, “Don’t spout nonsense, Eighth Elder Fox! Don’t you know how powerful the Green Hill is? The only elites from Earth are either fighting at the frontlines of the celestial battlefield or residing in their grotto-heavens, and the latter ones would never fight our clan!”
“As for the other immortal sects, demonic sects, and daemon cultivators, who among them would have the power to wipe out the Foxes of Green Hill?”
With that, he casted the secret bloodline technique himself as well…
But to no avail.
“Move!”
“Return to Earth!”
There was a somber look on the Golden Immortal Fox’s face and he turned into a streak of golden radiance as he bounded in the direction of Earth.
The Golden Immortal was exceedingly quick despite being in outer space, covering a thousand miles in the blink of an eye and would soon return to Earth.
The Golden Immortal Fox was beside itself in grief upon learning that the Green Hill Foxes had been wiped out, and was now going full-speed without caring if the other Heavenly Immortals or True Immortals would catch up to him, even putting a distance of dozen thousands of kilometers between themselves and the other Immortal Foxes in three minutes.
Behind him, the sixteen Immortal Foxes were moving at full speed too.
Most of them had originated from the homeworld, and felt both a sense of belonging as well as ethnic pride towards the other Green Hill Foxes, not to mention that their descendants were there too. Even the few Immortal Foxes who were born, raised, and cultivated in the celestial battlefield appeared in grief too.
One of them had even reared its head to howl silently.
Since it was outer space, vacuum could not conduct sound, which was why the other foxes were unable to hear his roar.
Meanwhile…
On Earth, Jiang He rushed out of the atmosphere and then the planet as he rode on Hu Mei, rapidly making his way to Mars.
Half an hour later, Jiang He’s gaze abruptly shifted and he quietly said, “Hide, Hu Mei.”
Whoosh!
In a flash, Hu Mei’s figure quickly landed atop a drifting asteroid fragment. Then, sensing something, she exclaimed in surprise, “Someone is coming, Master! Their aura is very powerful… they seem to be Golden Immortal!”
It was not as if Hu Mei and Jiang He were so extraordinarily skilled that they could notice the Golden Immortal Fox from thousands of miles away in space. Instead, it was because the old fox was not hiding his aura at all while he bounded forward, and his Golden Immortal might as well as Dao presence was erupting that he could be detected even from thousands of miles away.
“It must be that Golden Immortal Fox from Green Hill.”
Jiang He’s eyes twitched. Taking out a Strengthened Heavenly Thunderbolt Atomic Hand Grenade with a flip of his palm, he said, “Hu Mei, watch yourself later. I’ll try to see if I can blow up that Golden Immortal Fox.”
Then, after some thinking and deciding that one Strengthened Heavenly Thunderbolt Atomic Hand Grenade did not provide that much assurance, he took out four more.
He then tied the five grenades together with the Immortal Binding Rope—an inferior-grade sage item—while smiling helplessly. “Sigh…”
“It’s my fault for being so weak.”
“Would I have to resort to such a dumb move if I could directly cut down a Golden Immortal?”
“I just hope this Immortal Fox is skilled enough to leave some spoils after the Strengthened Heavenly Thunderbolt Atomic Hand Grenades blows him up.”
***
Meanwhile, dozen thousands of miles away, the old Golden Immortal Fox, who was still hurrying along, suddenly had a twinkle in his eyes, and he promptly stopped.
He stood amidst the endlessness of outer space and looked around, but he found nothing suspicious at all. However, he did not let down his guard… since the wariness that abruptly arose in his head would not lie.
Would a Golden Immortal who had survived the violence of the celestial battlefield be some two-bit character?
He slowly advanced, his profound immortal will spreading and extending.
And how powerful was a Golden Immortal’s will?
It was absolute possible to cover over five thousand kilometers.
Soon, the old Golden Immortal Fox detected Jiang He and Hu Mei, who were hiding behind the asteroid fragment. His eyes narrowed unwittingly and he exclaimed in surprise, “Is that someone from my clan? Impossible. If they could come here, why would the secret bloodline technique not sense them… wait…”
“Isn’t it Hu Mei?”
The old Golden Immortal Fox recognized Hu Mei then, and a storm hence churned in his heart. “How…”
“Hu Mei was killed by a curse, her psyche destroyed and only her immortal body was left. How did she come back to life?”
Whoosh!
In a flash, the old Golden Immortal Fox flew towards the asteroid fragment, and Jiang He noticed him when he was around fifteen hundred kilometers away.
“He’s here!”
Jiang He could not help feeling nervous as the figure rapidly approached.
How powerful!
Was this a Golden Immortal?
“Insolence!”
Kaboom!
Immortal radiance shone around the old Golden Immortal Fox’s body, instantly crushing Jiang He’s immortal will from fifteen hundred kilometers away while roaring, “Who are you? How dare a mere Heavenly Immortal like you peek at me?”
His voice rang within Jiang He’s mind.
Ooom!
Jiang He felt his mind quiver, leaving his head pained and dizzy—when he came to his senses, the old Golden Immortal Fox was already less than five hundred kilometers away.
“Such a frightening Golden Immortal!”
“That dog definitely is no average Golden Immortal, but an elite among his peers!”
Jiang He was shocked, and realized in fear after comparing his combat ability to his…
Even at full power and pushing his limits, he absolutely would be no match for the old Golden Immortal Fox… or even last up to five blows exchanged!
He would not win. No chance!
In fact, he would not even probe the old Golden Immortal Fox too deeply… what if he was killed because of the sheer gap of power between them?
And in just the space of a thought, that old Golden Immortal Fox was not less than five hundred kilometers away from him!
Unable to care any further, Jiang He simply took out the bundle of five Strengthened Heavenly Thunderbolt Atomic Hand Grenades and threw it at the old Golden Immortal Fox bounded toward them. Then, he run immediately, crying, “Run, Hu Mei!”
How powerful was he physically?
The speed of those grenades being thrown was basically inestimable, and combined with the fact that the old fox was flying towards them from the opposite direction…
On the other hand, the old Daemon Fox was laughing coldly before roaring, “Young human, are you using a hidden weapon at me?! You underestimate Golden Immortal too much!”
Kaboom!
Fearsome Golden Immortal might erupted away from his body, and he slapped out at the ‘thing’ flying rapidly towards him from the distance.
Though there was telling what it was, the old Daemon Fox at least knew that it must not reach him.
Then, in the instant he slapped out and saw that Jiang He was fleeing with Hu Mei already, something clicked in the old Daemon Fox’s mind. His eyes turned red at once, and he quickened his pace while bellowing telepathically, “Stop there, human! Were you the one who destroyed our clan? Don’t try to…”
Even before he could say ‘run’, the old Daemon Fox froze.
The giant palm which manifested from his Golden Immortal Dao had detonated the ‘hidden weapon.’
Yes…
It really detonated, and blew up resoundingly from just around fifty kilometers away from him.
A terrible thunderstorm instantly raged in outer space.
The old Daemon Fox, having just pushed his mystic technique to the limit, was unable to react just then. With the explosion erupting catching him off guard, his body dashed into the heart of the erupting thunderstorm through inertia, despite his mind bellowing ‘stop.’
“Move, move, move!”
Riding atop Hu Mei, Jiang He kept yelling as veins radiance of arose on his body, invoking dozens of defensive mystic treasures in an instant.
Even so…
Hu Mei was merely a full-fledged Heavenly Immortal—how far could she run?
They had flown just over fifty kilometers when…
The grenade blew up behind them!
A terrible thunderstorm hence raged and surged across all directions…
