About ten seconds later, a huge sun lit up the valley, and the whole world was bathed in its light. Everything closest to the explosion was vaporized.
A mushroom cloud that looked very familiar rose up, like a stone thrown into a calm water surface. Waves of ripples spread out in all directions, and then their eardrums were completely covered by the sound of the explosion.
In ten seconds, Luo Kai ran like a gust of wind and thunder. He ran for several kilometers, and although he was no longer at the center of the explosion, he was still sent flying by the huge impact. He used the impact to speed up again, and he felt a burning sensation on his back, and his skin showed signs of being burnt.
He only stopped when he was out of the range of the radiation. He put down the people in his hands. Tuoba Ye was holding a little girl in his right hand, and Yun Wei was on his left. Both of them were black, and the surface of their skin was carbonized, but they were not in danger.
Only the little girl did not have any energy to protect herself, and her condition was slightly worse. The violent radiation had seeped into her body, destroying the deepest cells.
The little girl was more tenacious. Although she was trembling in pain, she did not make a sound.
Tuoba Ye comforted her softly, "Xixi, it's okay. We are safe now."
Luo Kai frowned. He waved his hand, and the water molecules in the air gathered together to form a huge ball of water that floated in the air. Specks of water essence were extracted from the ball of water and covered Xixi's body.
Xixi's pain immediately lessened, and she stared at the scene in front of her with her eyes wide open.
"Little … Old Wu, thank you," Tuoba Ye said gratefully.
"You … you can use the power of water?" Yun Wei said in a daze.
Luo Kai nodded and flew up. He was thousands of meters in the air in a short while. The original small valley had become a huge pit. Looking down from the sky, it looked like a big hole was dug on the ground with a shovel.
He quickly patrolled around, looking for traces of the evil cult physical masters. If he did not kill these people today, it would be difficult for him to find another chance. Unfortunately, it was not dark yet, and his senses were greatly reduced. The evil cult physical masters were very good at hiding their aura, and he could not sense anything.
The sky gradually darkened. The evil cult physical masters did not discover them, but they did see the people from the Judicial Department.
The survivors gathered together. There were only three survivors from the Judicial Department, all of whom were physical masters. Their skin was carbonized, and their injuries were more serious. The fission weapons were too powerful, and they had been fighting for a long time. It was indeed difficult for anyone below the physical master level to survive.
Everyone looked at Luo Kai with reverence. Xuan Song was no exception. He bowed to Luo Kai and said, "Thank you for saving my life."
"You're welcome."
Luo Kai nodded lightly and looked toward the southwest. The fission weapon was launched from that direction. It was very difficult for the current human technology to achieve such a long-range missile. There was no radar in this era, nor was there any advanced positioning and guidance technology. Most of the time, they calculated the parabola according to the distance of the target and then calculated the angle of attack. The most powerful cannons had a range of no more than a hundred kilometers, and the further the distance, the greater the error.
Xuan Song saw through his doubts and said solemnly, "If I'm not wrong, it should be the work of extraterrestrial creatures. Only they have such long-range attack technology."
"Extraterrestrial creatures?"
Luo Kai recalled the first time they encountered extraterrestrial creatures. At that time, their airship was also attacked by a small fission weapon. Afterward, a mimicry mecha appeared, and Li Hong died because of it.
Xuan Song nodded heavily. "Yes, extraterrestrial creatures are very powerful. Not only can they imitate everything, but they also have extremely advanced technology."
The Judicial Department should have a good understanding of extraterrestrial creatures. Luo Kai sat down cross-legged and asked, "Director Xuan Song, can you give me some information about extraterrestrial creatures?"
Xuan Song smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, we don't know much about extraterrestrial creatures. We only know a general idea. According to some ancient books, there are three kinds of extraterrestrial creatures. The lowest level is made of black metal. It can imitate everything and can learn all the physical skills of human beings. Moreover, it has a strong self-healing ability. Its specific fighting power should be higher than that of the average physical trainer. We call it the Black Iron Warrior.
The second type is similar to the Black Iron Warrior, but its whole body is made of white metal. We call it the Silver Warrior. This type of Silver Warrior is even more powerful. It can freely transform between liquid and solid. Any attack is almost ineffective against it. It can be said that it is immortal. Its specific combat power is even stronger than that of a high-level physical trainer.
Xuan Song hesitated and then continued, "The last type is called Gold Warriors. It is said that they have the power to destroy the world."
Luo Kai's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the ones coming out of the Sky Thunder Palace were Gold Warriors.
Tuoba Ye also thought of it and said in surprise, "So the ones coming out of the Sky Thunder Palace were Gold Warriors?"
"Yes, I went to the Sky Thunder Palace to check a few days ago. I think the Sky Thunder Palace's Crossing Adversity Peak was transformed by extraterrestrial creatures. The purpose of this sacred place of physical skills was probably to guard this extraterrestrial creature. In the end, the sect was attacked by ferocious beasts, and the extraterrestrial creature escaped."
Luo Kai's eyes flickered slightly. The old monk probably knew this secret. There was a bigger reason why he gave the Thunder Striker to Luo Kai. The Thunder Striker was a powerful technological product. These Black Iron, Silver, and Gold warriors should also be technological products. Or rather, they were a kind of highly intelligent mimicry mech. This world was getting more and more complicated.
…
The high intensity battle was very taxing on the mind and body. Everyone was exhausted. In addition, the radiation was very destructive to the body. If they did not deal with it quickly, it would be troublesome in the future. After a few words, they all sat down cross-legged and dispelled the radiation in their bodies.
Luo Kai sat next to the bonfire. He had used up a lot of his energy, and the spiritual power that he had recovered with great difficulty was almost exhausted. However, he had also gained a lot. Battles were the catalysts that promoted the growth of strength. The fierce battle allowed him to understand more about the essence of the earth. The earth represented virtue. The explosive power brought by the infinite accumulation of sediment was indeed very strong. However, the most powerful thing should be its defense.
At midnight, his expression changed and he opened his eyes.
The little girl, Xixi, moved her legs with difficulty and came over. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Grandpa, please accept me as your disciple."
Tuoba Ye was stunned. He hurriedly pulled her and said fiercely, "Don't call me grandpa. Call me uncle."
As he said that, he raised his hand to slap her. He wanted to hit her, but he was a little reluctant. He had always been taught to fight with martial arts. He would often fight with Tuoba Yong, but he could not bear to hit this naughty little girl.
Xixi was not afraid of him. She took two more steps forward and kowtowed again.
Luo Kai waved his hand, and a gentle stream of air lifted her up. He said, "I don't accept any disciples."
Xixi's big eyes turned, and she said again, "Grandpa, then teach me a martial art."
Luo Kai helplessly glared at Tuoba Ye.
Tuoba Ye pretended to be stupid and laughed. He did not stop him. He thought to himself, This kid is so powerful. A few words of advice will be enough for Xixi to benefit for the rest of her life. It is not a big deal for me to suffer a loss because of my name.
Luo Kai lowered his head and muttered to himself. In fact, he did not teach Tuoba Yong much. Now that he thought about it, he could not help but feel guilty for this silly eldest disciple of his. He raised his head and looked at Xixi for a while. His eyes lit up. He understood the little girl's aptitude and temperament. He asked softly, "Do you have any paper?"
Tuoba Ye was overjoyed. He hurriedly took off his tattered black leather armor and bared his arms. He said, "Use this."
Luo Kai frowned in disdain and did not take it.
It was Xixi who took out a small notebook. The surface was exquisite, and there was a faint glow. It was obviously an extraordinary item.
