Dongfang Haotian asked, "How is it going up ahead?"
"The mastiff is dead," said Leng Qiyue. "But those strange people are very hard to deal with. The power of these earthen thunder is too small, it can only harm the skin." Though she showed no fear, she also showed concern.
Dongfang Haotian frowned and said, "If all of these things are put together and stored in a jar, will their power increase?"
Leng Qiyue nodded. "I will, but these things aren't pure. I'm afraid that if there's too much of them, we won't be able to explode."
You Yu anxiously said, "We are already at the end of our road. Let's go all out!"
The three of them looked at each other, reached an agreement, and put the remaining gunpowder into a large jar. However, after she finished pretending, Leng Qiyue began to worry and asked, "It's so big, what should we do if it's broken down?"
You Yu suddenly pulled Leng Qiyue over, hugged her tightly and said, "I'm going out."
When Dongfang Haotian saw You Yu hug Leng Qiyue, flames suddenly sprung up in his heart. He snorted and said, "You don't need to play the hero. I'll go."
Leng Qiyue pushed away You Yu and shook her head. "No, you can't go out. If you go out, there's a high chance of survival. You can't take this risk."
Dongfang Haotian held up the one meter wide jar and grit his teeth: "If I die, you must let Lin Mu Jun inherit my position, do you understand?" After he finished speaking, he rushed out without caring about anything else.
"Haotian!" Leng Qiyue cried out sorrowfully.
You Yu looked at Leng Qiyue, gritted his teeth, and followed her out. Just as the manor door opened and Dongfang Haotian was about to leave, You Yu rode a horse and galloped away, grabbing a jar filled with gunpowder …
As soon as he left the Manor, he attracted the attention of the strange people and they all walked towards him. You Yu wanted to stop for a moment before slowly luring the strange people away, but a mastiff on the ground suddenly raised its head and bit off the horse's leg, causing him and the jar to tumble onto the ground.
When Leng Qiyue came over and saw this scene, she was greatly alarmed and wanted to rush out, but Dongfang Haoyue pressed down on her acupoints.
"You can't go out." Dongfang Haotian said.
Leng Qiyue angrily glared at him, saying, "I can't just watch him die."
Dongfang Haotian took a deep breath and suddenly smiled: "Meeting you in this life is my, Dongfang Haotian's, fortune. Take care." With that, he rushed out of the half-open door and ran to Youyu's side.
You Yu looked at him. His gaze was filled with millions of emotions.
Dongfang Haotian said, "Quickly, let's lure these strange people away together."
You Yu nodded. When he turned around to grab the jar, he cried out in alarm: "Not good! This jar is cracked. If you want to move, you must immediately spread out!"
Dongfang Haotian glanced at the jar, and then looked at the strange man approaching. He frowned and said, "We only have one solution, and that is to light up the earthen thunder as soon as the strange man arrives."
You Yu gritted his teeth: "Fine, let's do it!"
Just like that, the two of them stood guard beside the vat, waiting for the strange people to slowly approach.
Leng Qiyue anxiously shouted, "You guys come back! Hurry up and come back! We'll think of something else."
However, the two of them had already reached an agreement and neither of them moved their feet to leave. When the strange man was three feet away, they nodded at each other. You Yu lit the fuse and ran towards the manor gate with Dongfang Haotian.
They had put too much gunpowder into the vat and it burned especially fast. Just as they ran out five feet, the vat behind them exploded with an earth-shattering sound. You Yu threw himself onto Dongfang Haotian and pressed him down, allowing the broken pieces to pierce into his skin.
After the thick smoke cleared, more than half of the weirdos lying on the ground continued to walk towards Dongfang Haotian's group.
Dongfang Haotian stood up and glanced at Youyu, then carried him on his back and ran into the manor.
You Yu's body was covered in numerous scratches, and he was bleeding profusely as he fell into a coma.
As soon as Dongfang Haotian entered the villa, the guard closed the gate. Leng Qiyue looked at You Yu with a heartbroken expression. Dongfang Haotian opened her acupoints and said, "You take care of him." With that, he went up to the watchtower.
Leng Qiyue hurriedly bandaged You Yu's wounds, wiping away her tears as she did so.
You Yu was awakened by the pain. He opened his eyes and said, "Aiya, are you a woman or not? Can't you be a little lighter?"
When Leng Qiyue saw him wake up, she knew that he wasn't in any life-threatening danger even if she teased him. Her tears turned into a smile as she said, "I thought pigs didn't hurt."
You Yu rolled his eyes and started groaning.
When Leng Qiyue heard this, she became annoyed and began to exert strength in her hands.
"Oh, murder!" You Yu felt so much pain that he immediately sat up.
Leng Qiyue snorted. "You deserved it for being so impulsive."
When You Yu saw that Leng Qiyue was truly worried for him, his heart warmed. Just as he was about to make fun of her, he heard Dongfang Haotian shout: "A group of people are coming. I wonder if they are friends or enemies."
Leng Qiyue's heart turned cold. If a group of people came at this time, then 90% of the people here were enemies. They must have let the mastiff and the weirdo be the vanguard before they took advantage of the victory to pursue them. These people might have been bystanders attracted by the explosion, but the chances of that happening were minuscule and almost impossible.
"Oh no, the door is about to break." A guard shouted anxiously.
Leng Qiyue stood up and walked towards the door. The door had been broken by a strange person, and the servants who were blocking the door also began to shiver.
She took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, hold on. Bring all the tables and cabinets here to block the door."
As soon as she gave the order, the servants and guards started to get busy again. One by one, they moved the tables and cabinets to block the door. Dongfang Haotian stood on the watchtower and stared at the group of people outside with blazing eyes. There weren't many of them, around 20 or so. But from the way they were riding on their horses, one could tell that they were all top tier experts.
He sighed to the sky, "Ahhh — does the heavens want to kill me?"
From below, Leng Qiyue heard this. She raised her head to look at Dongfang Haotian and shouted at him, "We have not reached the dead end yet. We cannot give up."
Dongfang Haotian bent down to look at Leng Qiyue. Her eyes were firm and fearless, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed. For a man to be inferior to a girl, how could he still have the face to sit on a dragon throne after admitting defeat like this?
Under the light of the fire, Leng Qiyue's entire body emitted a kind of unswerving determination, and her beauty was like a phoenix that made people unable to shift their gaze away. The corners of Dongfang Haotian's mouth curled up into a smile. All of his frustration was swept away. She had been sent by the heavens. She still had an important mission to complete, so they would definitely pass through this tribulation.
Dongfang Haotian jumped down from the watchtower, held Leng Qiyue's hand and said: "You are right, we cannot give up. Just now, I observed that the faces of the strange people who were killed by the explosion were weak points, and we could kill them as long as we could pierce their faces and their brains. "
Leng Qiyue drew out the flexible sword from her waist and firmly nodded. Dongfang Haotian raised his treasure sword and shouted, "The face of a strange man is his weakness. Open the gate, we must fight our way out!"
