Chapter 326 - 144: Infiltrating the Nunnery

When he was done, he would follow these nuns back to the Nunnery.

Xu Lei was already well-practiced at making explosives.

So, once the raw materials were in place, he quickly produced a large quantity.

Unfortunately, Xu Lei didn’t have a Qiankun Cloth Bag.

He could only hide them in the cellar for now.

Previously, neither Qing Lian nor the four fat nuns had given Xu Lei a Qiankun Cloth Bag or any other kind of Storage Magical Artifact.

This meant that even though he now had Gunpowder, he had no way to carry it with him for easy access.

This bothered Xu Lei.

Of course, he could just carry a few bags on his back or by hand.

But what good would one or two backpack-sized bundles of explosives do?

An amount that small definitely wouldn’t be enough to kill these nuns.

It would also risk exposing the secret of his explosives.

Xu Lei still wasn’t sure if these five nuns truly bore him any ill will.

He just had a gut feeling that something was wrong.

He had no concrete evidence, just this intuition.

Xu Lei figured this intuition was likely a kind of acuity for worldly affairs, an accumulation of experience from his many past lives.

But still, nothing was certain.

If he just went ahead and blasted them with explosives under these circumstances, that didn’t seem right either.

After all, if he was going to use the explosives, he had to use a massive amount to kill them all at once.

Otherwise, his parents could be implicated.

But to kill them all in one go?

’If this is all in my head, then I’d be repaying their kindness with hatred!’

After all, they had actually been quite good to Xu Lei over the years.

’It would be so much more convenient to have a spatial Storage Magical Artifact.’

Xu Lei mused. ’That way, I could use them whenever I need them and wouldn’t be so passive.’

Besides, Xu Lei was running out of excuses to stay at home any longer.

He would have to leave within the next few days.

After all, he had already been home for several days.

That night.

As Xu Lei was wondering what on earth he should do, there was a sudden knock on his door.

Xu Lei opened it and looked.

It was Qing Lian!

Her face was contorted in pain, her steps were unsteady, and blood trickled from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Her eyes were bloodshot as she said directly to Xu Lei:

"Little Jing Kong, run!

Don’t trust anyone!

Not even me!

They... all of them... can’t be trusted!"

A chill went down Xu Lei’s spine.

But of course, Xu Lei didn’t flee.

His home was right here, after all.

His parents and family were still inside.

He couldn’t possibly just up and leave.

Facing Qing Lian in this state, Xu Lei reached out and snatched her Qiankun Cloth Bag.

He then took out a Rope Magical Artifact from within it, threw it, and channeled his Magical Power to bind Qing Lian.

Just as Xu Lei was about to ask Qing Lian what was happening, she passed out completely.

Xu Lei’s mind raced, analyzing the situation.

He immediately rushed to the cellar where he stored his explosives.

He furiously drew on his Magical Power, pulling all the explosives from the cellar into Qing Lian’s Storage Bag.

Then he ran back, hoisted Qing Lian onto his shoulder, and took off at a sprint.

With a single leap, he cleared the courtyard wall.

His movements swift and agile, he sprinted away at top speed.

He soon reached the woods outside the city.

There, Xu Lei took out more than half of the explosives from the storage space and piled them in a mountain hollow.

Then he threw some of Qing Lian’s clothes on top, arranging them to look like a person.

Then, carrying Qing Lian, he hid.

"Little Jing Kong, where are you going?"

"Why have you tied up your master?"

"What are you planning to do to your master?"

"Your master has gone mad from her Cultivation! Don’t believe a word she says!"

And just as expected, it wasn’t long before the four fat nuns gave chase.

They were a little too slow, however.

Perhaps they hadn’t expected Xu Lei to be so fast.

After all, they didn’t know the true level of Xu Lei’s Cultivation.

Spotting what they thought was Qing Lian’s clothing, they unconsciously drew closer.

"Little Jing Kong, you actually carried me out?"

At the same time, the unconscious Qing Lian at Xu Lei’s side actually woke up. Her eyes shimmered with tears as she weakly sent a voice transmission, "If you had escaped by yourself, you might have had a chance!

Now... you fool.

You’re still just a child, in the end.

You’re too soft-hearted.

*Sob*, in the end, I’m the one who doomed you.

Your mother saved my life, and yet I..."

Of course, Xu Lei didn’t respond to Qing Lian.

’Explode!’

He used a Fire Stick to light a Rocket, then hurled it, directly detonating the massive pile of explosives.

By now, the four fat nuns had drawn near the pile of Qing Lian’s clothes.

They had just realized it wasn’t a person, but merely a decoy of clothing.

BOOM!

But a terrifyingly powerful explosion had already erupted!

The combined force of over a thousand backpack-sized Explosive Packages detonated at once.

The power was absolutely terrifying.

It was even more violent than the one Xu Lei had detonated back in the Eastern Wilderness Marsh!

Back then, Xu Lei had to use his Magical Power to control the detonation, preventing the Explosive Packages’ fuses from burning out before they fell into the marsh. Detonating them with Magical Power like that had its limits.

But igniting a stationary pile was comparatively simple.

It allowed him to detonate a much larger quantity at once!

The four fat nuns were sent flying in all directions by the blast.

Even though they had already started to defend, shrouding their bodies with Magical Power!

But all of their defensive measures were instantly shattered by the explosion!

All four had their limbs blown off, their bodies twisted and mangled!

They were blasted beyond human recognition!

Even from their position, Xu Lei and Qing Lian felt a terrifying wave of heat wash over them.

Qing Lian’s voice transmission was naturally cut short.

A voice transmission, after all, is just condensed sound projected in a specific direction. The explosion’s energy wave completely destroyed the sound waves as they traveled!
