Whooshâ!
Boomâ!!
Explosions erupted in rapid succession.
The heat filling the surroundings was suffocating.
Fwooshâ!!
Blue flames surged violently, sending waves of fire upward.
I hurled another spear of Qi with all my strength.
âHuff!â
One more.
Whooshâ!!
The spear flew and struck its target. Without hesitation, I released my Qi to trigger the explosion.
Whoooshâ!!
A deafening roar erupted, and shockwaves rippled outward.
ââ¦Ughâ¦!â
âArgh!â
Those with lower cultivation couldnât withstand the blast and were sent flying.
The ground, already battered, was left in ruins.
Butâ
âDo I need two more shots?â
My expression soured.
Iâd already thrown six.
Even after pushing near my limit, I was wondering if I needed to keep firing.
Gulp.
I popped another Dokcheon Pill into my mouth and swallowed it.
It hurt my pride to burn through the few I had left, but there was no choice.
âThe Poison King will handle it.â
He said he was close to perfecting their production, so I convinced myself this was an investment.
Otherwise, Iâd probably die from regret first.
ââ¦Damn it, do you know how much these cost?â
They were probably worth more than Everlasting Cold Iron.
Enough to buy a proper estate in the heart of Hanan.
âShitâ¦.â
Just thinking about it made my stomach churn.
I was already pissed about using one earlier, and now this was the second one.
Haaâ¦
Suppressing my irritation, I narrowed my eyes.
As painful as it was to spend resources, I had to focus and stay rational.
Yeah, whatâs the point of money if I die?
âI need to survive first.â
I cycled my Qi and prepared again.
The lingering explosions had left the air thick with smoke, making it hard to see.
Even so, I could tell.
Things hadnât gone as planned.
Whooshâ!!
A gust of wind swept the smoke away.
