Unsure of Yao Ran's reason for asking this question, Long Yu replied, "If you want to watch fireworks, I can ask Jia Xiang to make some for you."
Yao Ran chuckled at his pampering tone. "No need. I will show you now."
She closed her palm, and in the next moment, three explosions echoed from below.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The others, realizing the source of the explosions, paled in horror.
Staring at the scattered flesh and blood where the three wood element ability users stood before, one of them screamed, "They exploded! She can explode people! Run!"
After witnessing Yao Ran's ability to detonate the bodies from the inside out, Long Yu noticed her control over blood was similar to his control over the wind element.
After a moment of thought, he focused his wind element energy on manipulating the oxygen inside their bodies. Seconds later, another explosion echoed.
Bang!
This time, Yao Ran was surprised. She turned to Long Yu and asked, "You can use the same move as me?"
"I just learned it from you," he replied.
Impressed by his high learning level, Yao Ran gave him a thumbs-up. "As expected of my fiancé."
While the two spoke, the remaining attackers scattered. Their leader, gritting his teeth, assessed the situation. Seeing the four exploded corpses, he made a quick decision. "Retreat!"
At his command, the survivors fled in a panic. By the time Ma Benshun and the others arrived, they found only blood and flesh scattered across the ground.
Looking up, the burly man asked, "Captain, where are the enemies?"
Long Yu looked at him and replied, "Haotian, you guys should head back now. I will inform Brother Yuan before returning."
Seeing everything was already over, Guan Haotian sighed in disappointment and followed the order. "Yes, Captain."
In Yao Ran's villa, Shi Xuan and the others watched the events in the outer district through the drone feed, speechless at what they had witnessed.
While Yao Ran and Long Yu went to inform Yuan Rihui about what had just happened, the remaining gang members ran back to the slum area. After the riots, the slum had become a lawless zone controlled and divided by a few gangs.
Arriving at one of the alleys in the slum, the gang members slumped onto the dirty ground to rest. Leaning against the wall, the leader clenched his fists and furiously punched the ground.
"Damn it!"
Seeing how angry he was, the others didn't dare make a sound.
After a moment of silence, one of them mustered his courage and asked, "Big Brother, what should we do now?"
The leader glared at him but said nothing. Under his glare, the man quickly fell silent.
Noticing that everyone was tired but uninjured, another man said, "Big Brother, we can't go back like this. If we return without success, then…"
