Chapter 2625 Shocks the Entire City
Even he didn't know the prince was coming, but this fellow did, and his words were full of veiled barbs. He must be a spy or infiltrator with ill intentions!
The surrounding guards all stood up and rushed towards the gaunt man.
The two were close together and fast; they subdued him with a single move and slammed him hard onto the table.
So easy? Lord Jia was somewhat surprised. This person must have some skill involved, right?
The guards pinned the man down and quickly searched him to eliminate any potential dangers.
"Perfect timing!" The gaunt man's face was distorted by being squeezed onto the table, but he grinned, revealing his gums. "You destroyed my home, harmed my wife and children, you deserve to die, you all deserve to die! Explode!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his skin suddenly turned red and even glowed.
Immediately afterwards, the Changsheng Building exploded.
How powerful was it? Centered on the Longevity Tower, within a radius of seventy feet, almost all buildings and people were reduced to dust. People in a pavilion three streets away were also killed instantly by the shock.
The tremors from the explosion were felt throughout the city. Pedestrians at the end of the street turned around at the sound and were horrified to find that the Longevity Tower was now in ruins, with golden-red flames sweeping in all directions and black smoke transforming into a black dragon that soared straight into the sky.
This explosion was several times more powerful than a blast of explosives. The restaurant was doing well today, with about two hundred people on the three floors, plus the kitchen staff, making it nearly three hundred people. In that instant, almost everyone was completely confused.
Despite being a key border town for many years, such an incident had never occurred.
Everyone inside and outside the government office was stunned. After a few moments, someone finally said in a trembling voice, "No, no, it seems that the Prince and Lord Jia are having a meal right there!"
Everyone felt a wave of dizzying despair.
Several beams of light went there; they were the experts stationed at the government office.
Then, the alarmed officials and soldiers rushed there as well.
At this moment, He Changjue was actually not dead. He Chunhua doted on this eldest grandson the most, and knowing that he was going to escort supplies to the front lines, he bestowed upon him many protective treasures. When the explosion occurred, these magical artifacts automatically activated to protect their master, and at least ten beams of light flashed across He Changjue's body, only to be obscured by the intense light of the explosion.
Although he did not die, he was completely disoriented by the sudden accident, his vision was blurred, and his ears were filled with a loud, buzzing noise.
Liquid was flowing from his nose and the corners of his eyes. When He Changjue touched it, it was bright red blood.
His mind became sluggish and he didn't know exactly what had happened.
Lord Jia was gone, and so were the guards he had brought. He Changjue rolled his eyes and seemed to see half a person hanging on a broken pillar four zhang away, one of the guards who had accompanied him for thousands of miles.
Were we attacked?
By whom?
Dozens of guards had originally surrounded him and Lord Jia, but now their protective circle had been breached.
He was thrown more than thirty feet away by the explosion and landed in a pile of ruins. From his angle, the Longevity Tower was gone, leaving only a deep crater in its place.
Oh, it seems he's missing three fingers on his right hand too.
He Changjue heard someone shouting:
"Your Highness!"
It wasn't his personal guard, who would be half-crippled if not dead. Rather, it was a highly skilled expert that Prince Shen had specially placed in his team who was looking for him. This person was only half a step away from the realm of immortals, and he was usually low-key and didn't like to talk. He Changjue usually just called him Mr. Meng.
On Shen Kingdom's territory, Mr. Meng should be able to protect him. But with the explosion at Changsheng Tower, He Changjue was instantly blown away. It won't be easy for Mr. Meng to find He Changjue amidst the debris and casualties.
These three blocks were filled with ruins and flames, charred bodies and wounded people everywhere, their faces blackened by soot, making it impossible to tell who was who for a moment.
Mr. Meng didn't know where He Changjue had been blown away to, so he could only search everywhere.
He Changjue wanted to respond, but a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.
Besides, he can't even sit up, so how could he have the strength to shout?
Just then, two figures flashed before He Changjue's eyes, or perhaps four or five? His eyes were still blurry, and he saw double images, unable to count them.
One of the figures was relieved: "Luckily, I marked his boots, otherwise where would we find him now?"
"We were lucky. Didn't you see that half a person was hanging in the tree? Only the upper body was left; the legs and boots were gone."
"Huh, he can still breathe?" The first person was surprised. "He was blown up right in the center of the 'volcano,' and he's still alive?"
This is no ordinary explosive, nor is it an ordinary explosion.
The ground sank into a crater two zhang deep. Most of the things that were hit by the explosion were vaporized, and even the scorched soil on the ground was shining brightly, as if some substance had been released from it by the high temperature.
“His cultivation level is ordinary, so He Chunhua must have given him many life-saving treasures. Besides, he also has Yuan power, hmph, damned Yuan power.”
He Changjue was a prince, and he held an official position while accompanying the army. The power of the explosion at Changsheng Tower was significantly weakened by his Yuan energy, and with the added reduction from various treasures, the young man actually survived.
"Hurry up, hurry up and get this done!"
The explosion was so deafening that it would attract all the armed forces in the city.
At this moment, onlookers and civilians began entering the explosion site to rescue the injured, and the two men's figures were not conspicuous. However, Mr. Meng, who was searching, was getting closer and closer; in a dozen or so breaths, he would reach this location.
"Who...who are you?" The dying boy struggled to lift his head, trying to see the two people clearly. "Shen Kingdom will not, will not let you go."
"No need to trouble yourself." One of them grabbed his neck and twisted it hard.
Snap! He Changjue's head turned 180 degrees, heading straight for his back.
Then, the two of them stood up and ran.
This move was too obvious; two streaks of rainbow light flashed from behind, launching an attack in anger.
Mr. Meng finally arrived, but it was too late.

The capital of Shen, the royal palace.
In the evening, He Chunhua and his wife were having dinner. After all, they were a couple who had struggled together since their youth, and they chatted as they ate. Queen Ying was straightforward and said whatever came to mind. When she got angry, Prince Shen had to take care of calming her down and making her laugh, completely lacking the usual politeness and etiquette of a royal family.
Ying Hongchan was already over fifty years old, with jet-black hair and a rosy complexion without a single wrinkle, looking even younger than when she was in Blackwater City. Given the rapidly increasing concentration of spiritual energy in the world, she had learned breathing techniques that allowed her to maintain her youthful appearance.
She was about to return a plate of herb-stuffed lamb chops to the chef to remake.
Queen Ying, having been born in a remote border region, still prefers large, grilled dishes and isn't particularly interested in the elaborate cuisine of the capital. However, this lamb chop wasn't fully cooked and still had a bit of blood in it.
He Chunhua wanted to throw it away, but Queen Ying rolled her eyes at him: "Why waste it? Just bake it for another 15 minutes, wouldn't that be enough?"
