The power of this explosion was too great, temporarily shutting down her senses.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy in her dantian operated rapidly, quickly restoring her vision and hearing.

Feng Miaojun shook her dizzy head, still experiencing ringing in her ears and feeling light-headed. Something liquid flowed from her nose; she touched it—blood.

What happened?

Looking up, she couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.

The spot where she had been standing was now a crater seven zhang in diameter and two zhang deep. Whatever had been standing there before was now completely gone, leaving only scattered bloodstains.

With this as the center, within a radius of thirty zhang, various dismembered limbs and fragments were scattered!

Explosive Gu!

The Yao army had employed Explosive Gu, buried throughout this area. It was only thanks to her profound cultivation that she hadn’t met the same fate as these people.

One of the two attendants who had been talking earlier had also been blasted onto Feng Miaojun’s grain cart. He was now gasping and vomiting blood, his face a bloody mess with even his eyelids blown off, staring at Feng Miaojun with round eyeballs, pleading with his last breath: “Save me… save me!”

His luck was truly terrible. The upper half of his body was hanging on the grain cart, while the lower half below his belly was nowhere to be seen.

With vital organs missing, he clearly wouldn’t survive.

In the past, Feng Miaojun might have vomited on the spot at such a scene. Fortunately, following the army through several battles, large and small, had tempered her resolve and enriched her experience. She now took out her Star Sky Awl while gently comforting him: “Don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt anymore.”

The awl’s tip entered lightly, piercing directly through his temple into his skull. The attendant immediately stopped breathing.

Brain death was the quickest and most painless way to die. This man couldn’t be saved; she could only give him release.

Feng Miaojun turned to get off the cart, but something slipped from her neck and was caught in her hand.

It was the grape jade pendant given to her by Yun Ya, now broken into two pieces.

She remembered that this object carried Yun Ya’s divine ability, capable of sparing her from one fatal strike. Now that the grape jade pendant was shattered, it indicated that the power of the explosion had been strong enough to instantly take her life.

The pendant had taken the blow for her; otherwise, she would have perished.

The grape carving on the pendant remained intact, but the pink jade seal carved into a squirrel had split in half. Feng Miaojun stared at it for a second, then tossed it back onto the grain cart and walked away without looking back.

At first, her steps were unsteady, but they grew increasingly firm and powerful.

Where she had been standing, there had been over a hundred people and even a Molong beast; now they were all blown into scattered fragments. Before her eyes was one of the beast’s legs that had been blasted away.

This place had become a scene of carnage, and it wasn’t the only one.

Explosions like the one she experienced had occurred in more than a dozen places.

The third and fourth divisions of the Wei army were blown to pieces. No one had expected the ground they had just walked over would contain one Explosive Gu after another.

How could flesh and blood withstand such power?

All around were screams of shock, wails of agony, and angry curses. From a distance came the roars of the charging Yao army.

These sudden multiple explosions had completely disrupted the Wei formation, while the Yao army, well-rested and with soaring morale, was charging down the slope with tremendous force!

The vanguards of the two armies crashed together like colliding tidal waves!

How many men fell and horses tumbled in that instant?

Feng Miaojun held a Star Sky Awl in each hand, striding toward the edge of the battlefield. She moved like a ghost; often, the approaching Yao soldiers would see only a blur before their eyes, and before they could act, the young woman was already several zhang away.

However, her movements also attracted attention. A black wolf spirit had just killed two Wei soldiers when it turned its head, saw her figure, and with a roar, charged toward her.

Its form was even larger than a male lion, with a mane growing around its neck, appearing majestic and fierce. Its movements were agile, running like the wind, clearly possessing an innate gale talent. Charging into a crowd of mortals was like entering unoccupied territory; ordinary soldiers’ weapons couldn’t even penetrate its fur.

Feng Miaojun had just turned around when she saw the wolf’s head opening its large mouth before her, foul wind spreading in all directions.

This creature—how long had it been since it brushed its teeth? She covered her nose and retreated two steps, just avoiding the largemouth that snapped shut, then said loudly: “Get out of my way, I don’t want to fight you!”

The giant wolf didn’t want to give up this beautiful and delicious little snack, swinging its head and pouncing again.

Feng Miaojun glanced into the distance, truly not wanting to linger there. As the wolf spirit pounced, she dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding it, though the powerful wind stirred her hair.

At the same time, she delivered a karate chop directly to the wolf’s waist.

Her strength now could bend pure iron; striking flesh and blood nearly ruptured the wolf’s kidneys.

The wolf howled in pain, flying sideways for two zhangs, its body curled into a ball, unable to recover for several breaths.

Feng Miaojun was quite satisfied with this strike. Since following Yun Ya, she had rarely used her skills, but her cultivation had been increasing daily, and she felt she was changing day by day.

Months ago, she wouldn’t have dealt with this giant wolf so easily.

Combat truly was the best way to test one’s achievements.

Seeing the creature struggling to rise, Feng Miaojun casually picked up half of a blast-broken iron chain from the ground and threw it, wrapping it tightly around the wolf spirit’s neck twice!

This enormous creature’s strength was also astonishing; even after being caught, it could still run wildly outward. Feng Miaojun hadn’t intended to stop it by pulling the chain; instead, she used the momentum to leap onto its back.

The giant wolf was a spirit beast, not a mount; it had never carried a person in its life. Its wild nature exploded, rolling on the ground twice to try to throw her off.

A spirit beast might weigh two thousand jin; how could she withstand its full weight pressing down? Feng Miaojun tightened the iron chain forcefully, choking the giant wolf nearly to madness, almost able to hear her neck bones cracking. It frequently turned its head, trying to bite her, but the girl was too small, and its large mouth couldn’t reach her.

The Wei soldiers around took advantage of the situation, using their weapons as javelins against it. The wolf’s protection wasn’t as effective as the Rainbow Luan’s, and the soldiers’ weapons had been blessed with elemental power by the Yao State Preceptor, piercing its skin and flesh, causing excruciating pain.

Feng Miaojun drew out her Star Sky Awl and pressed it against its forehead: “Go to the mountains, or I’ll destroy your soul!” This was no place to linger; she was even more eager to leave than it was.

The wolf spirit could feel the bone-chilling cold transmitted from the Star Sky Awl and immediately understood that the divine weapon in her hand could easily split its skull. Either way, staying here would only result in more injuries, so it released its four legs and ran toward the distance!

Feng Miaojun saw it running wildly without direction and was quite dissatisfied. The direction it was heading was right towards the core position of the two armies’ battle!

Wasn’t running there seeking death? She pulled hard on the chain, forcing the wolf’s large head to turn left: “This way!”
