The long knife broke through the air, but this time Senior Brother Ma couldn't react!

The black blade forged from an unknown material actually sparked a spark on Senior Brother Ma's seemingly thin arm, and with the dazzling sparks, Senior Brother Ma's body began to flash with a faint cyan light.

This mutation happened in just an instant, from Fang Cai Ling'er's exclamation to the current impact, the two sounds seemed to be connected together.

Senior Brother Ma's reaction was not slow, but he was still shocked by this change!

However, now, his protective aura had been activated, and Senior Brother Ma didn't think that he could be in any danger facing this group of savages at this moment. It is true that in the years before, a large number of people had died at the hands of the wild people in the wild lands of the outside world, but according to the information that came back, most of these people were fools with high eyes, and they must still be unwilling to believe what happened at the moment of death. Obviously, these people didn't have time to unfold their own protective qi before they died at the hands of the barbarians they saw as ants.

And Senior Brother Ma has never despised these barbarians from beginning to end! At the first moment of the shocking change, he immediately and decisively stimulated the Body Protective Qi, and naturally in his opinion, it is impossible for the barbarians from the outside world to pose any threat to him! After all, how strong the defensive power of the Body Protective Qi is, Senior Brother Ma knows very well in his heart, even if it is a top-grade flying sword magic weapon, it is impossible to pierce the same level of Body Protection Qi, unless it is the legendary best magic weapon. However, this kind of treasure in the hands of the refining master has not been seen for many years!

Therefore, Senior Brother Ma had a leisurely feeling, wanting to see the mastermind who provoked this shocking change, and looked at the empty expression on the other party's face like a cat and a mouse!

And he, of course, also knew who the mastermind of this shocking change was! It just made him a little surprised, so that he was a little wolf-inflicted, he didn't expect that the other party would choose to do the opposite!

So, Senior Brother Ma smiled self-deprecatingly, raised his head, and looked at the other side.

But what he saw was a dark shield!

Senior Brother Ma was a little puzzled, and then a little funny: "Could it be that they are trying to use this kind of thing to resist their flying swords?"

Senior Brother Ma's smile was still hanging on the corner of his mouth, and Senior Brother Ma, who had already opened his body protection qi, seemed calm, and did not move away from the place, so in his accurate perception, he clearly saw that the thin "scholars" used the speed they were proud of to tie the other three silk threads to their remaining feet and left hand respectively.

The silk thread was straight, but Senior Brother Ma's hands and feet did not move a bit, since the aura was already running, this little power from the outside world naturally could not shake Senior Brother Ma for half a point, as for the outstretched right hand, as long as he wanted, he could withdraw it at any time.

It's just that he wants to see what kind of surprise this person who has surprised him a little and is a little wolfish can bring him.

So, the surprise really came!

Along the silk thread, black iron balls slid one after another from the other end, the iron balls were the size of a bowl, and there were more than a dozen iron balls sliding towards Senior Brother Ma's limbs!

Senior Brother Ma looked at these iron balls curiously, and his divine sense probed, without the slightest fluctuation of aura!

He didn't know what these iron balls were, and naturally it was impossible to know the power of these iron balls, but he thought in his heart that since this was the last resort of the other party, he must have surprised himself a little.

The four filaments suddenly shook violently, and then Senior Brother Ma clearly noticed that a pull ring strung on the iron ball was pulled out by the force of the filaments shaking up and down.

A dozen iron balls began to fall to the ground, and the few on his feet had even rolled to his feet. Although the smell of burning was very faint, Senior Brother Ma could still smell it clearly.

"Get down!" this was the first thing Senior Brother Ma heard, the first thing that person said!

Fortunately, it's not the last sentence......

Suddenly, Senior Brother Ma found that a group of people around him had fallen down in unison, but the tourists who were a little farther away were still playing comfortably, and Senior Brother Ma could even see their eyes with a hint of surprise and a hint of laughter, occasionally glancing towards them.

The collision between the long knife and the arm just now seemed to these tourists, maybe just like the men who ran the rivers and lakes nearby, and Senior Brother Ma clearly saw that when he saw his arm blocking the huge long knife, the nearby tourists were still applauding, and even the bold officials had thrown out a few copper coins.

And those copper coins are now lying quietly at the feet of Senior Brother Ma with the iron balls that are smoking outward.

Yes! When the next moment came, Senior Brother Ma suddenly felt that the heavens and the earth had become so silent at this moment! It was as if all the sounds had disappeared......

Stillness is vivid!

No matter what words are used to describe it, a loud noise that cannot be overstated sounded so abruptly on the streets of Gongyuan!

The adjective "boom ......" is not as direct as this original onomatopoeia, and it is shocking!

More than a dozen iron balls cracked in that instant!

Senior Brother Ma was even able to clearly capture all the pictures when they cracked, the iron sheet first slowly expanded, and then cracks began to appear on the uneven and even some nicked iron sheet, and then the cracks gradually became larger, and began to separate from the iron ball itself, and then, the loud noise was noticed by Senior Brother Ma faster than the burning smell.

Senior Brother Ma, who felt sensitive, saw a qiē that was only a moment in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of Senior Brother Ma, it seemed to be played back in slow motion, especially this time, the subtle feeling in his heart made him feel that this scene was so long......

For this reason, he was a little puzzled! Because the changes in these iron balls were very similar to his reaction when the Dan furnace exploded when his alchemy was immature before, and the two were exactly the same!

"Could it be that these little iron balls are actually pill furnaces? There are pills refining in them? And looking at this power, are these pills still very valuable?"

This was the last thought in Senior Brother Ma's mind before the strong wave of qi hit.

A word and a phenomenon that is somewhat familiar to Xu Chen's group of teenagers, but very unfamiliar to the many people on the streets of Gongyuan!

A type of combustible material that occurs in an enclosed space, accompanied by strong chemical changes of luminescence and heat release.

This is a concept that Xu Chen asked his teacher to memorize when he was in school, and at that time, he only played with firecrackers like other boys on New Year's Day. Naturally, it is impossible to imagine that a concept that was forced to be remembered back then has become a great force to save him today.

The dust drifting everywhere in the air clearly outlined this strong wave of air, like a black cloud crushing down the city, rushing towards the surroundings quickly!

Under his reminder, Xu Chen's people were already lying on the ground, and their bodies were covered with thick shields, even so, the young men holding the shields could still clearly feel the huge force coming from their hands, and occasionally there were some "sonorous" sounds, that is, the fragments of the iron ball were hitting the solid shield.

Qi waves are invisible, and since the teenagers in front of it have made way for it, it naturally spreads joy around.

As a result, the farther visitors felt a strong wind blowing towards them!

Countless tourists involuntarily flew to the side, whether it was a weak scholar or those heroes who were excellent in kung fu, all of them were like duckweed in the water at this moment with the wind.

There are also stalls of different shapes, some selling food, the dough dipped in sugar water and dancing in the wind; there are those selling rouge gouache, a wave of air is dyed red, with a faint sweet fragrance; there are those who sell celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and the four treasures of the study, and the people in those paintings seem to come to life, flying in the air, as if they want to reach out and grab the pen and ink that are nearby, and start to wave again......

In addition to the stalls, several shops in the vicinity that are open for business have naturally become good places for air waves. Flipping over the plaque on the door, kicking open the wooden plank in the slot of the door, pushing the old shopkeeper to it, snatching the abacus from the table, and then driving the guests into the corner one by one...... It's like a villain who comes to kick the gym!

It wasn't until the air wave had finished venting its naughty energy that it came from afar, from all directions......

"Ah......h

"Ouch......"

Most of them are uncreative shouts, which sound boring.

Fortunately, the initiator also seemed to think that these shouts were a bit disturbing, so he shouted in a thick voice: "Murder! The bandits from Yangzhou have come to Shengzhou!"

This shout instantly covered up all the screams around him!

The atmosphere was a little quieter, and then it became more noisy after a while.

"Kill someone!

"The bandits from Yangzhou have come to the city! Go and report to the official!"

……

So, the panicked footsteps gradually sounded, and almost all the tourists began to move at this moment, even those who were smashed by the heavy objects blown down by the air waves, they were also running on tiptoe and running into the distance.

After a while, the streets of Gongyuan were empty, except for those black shields, which slowly stood up, and then moved away, revealing the faces of young men who were slightly young but not panicked behind the shields.

At this time, a teenager gradually stepped out from behind the shield.

Putting down the crude horn rolled into iron sheets in his hand, Xu Chen rubbed his ears vigorously, there was the sound of the explosion just now, and there was also the scream because of the loud cry lying on the ground, the almost closed space, and the iron shield on his head that was very easy to conduct sound, these two loud noises made Xu Chen's ears still "buzz" straight up.

Before the smoke and dust had completely dissipated, Xu Chen waved his hand lightly on the tip of his nose, raising his eyes to look at the source of the explosion, that is, where Senior Brother Ma was.

I saw a vague figure faintly visible in the hazy smoke, but this figure was still standing.

"Damn, it's so hard? This is ten catties of granular black fire...... "Xu Chen was about to turn around and retreat, when there were a few heavy wheezing sounds from the smoke.

So Xu Chen stopped a little and looked back cautiously.

The smoke and dust gradually disappeared, and Senior Brother Ma's figure began to become clear!

I saw that today's Senior Brother Ma no longer has the previous suave romance!

The bun was long gone, the cloak was scattered, and there was a terrible bloody hole on the white forehead, which was still bleeding out. The white clothes on his body were torn and tattered by the air waves, revealing the dirty clothes inside, and a piece of inner armor between his chest was now inserted with several pieces of broken iron, and the edges were dyed bright red, obviously deep into the flesh!

Senior Brother Ma panted heavily, stretched out his hand to take out a few healing pills in his arms, and carefully took them out, and now there were only two of the dense small jade bottles left.

"Alas...... If only I had the money to buy a storage bag!" This is the thought that suddenly popped into Senior Brother Ma's heart at this time, and he was dumbfounded in an instant, and he didn't know if it was because of the situation at the moment or because the treasure of "storage bag" was not something they could imagine during the foundation building period!

Senior Brother Ma checked the two jade bottles, in fact, where to check them, they were all refined by him, what kind of elixir, what kind of curative effect, just look at the color of the jade bottles, it is clear.

"It's better than nothing! this surprise is really big enough this time......" Senior Brother Ma shook his head and smiled bitterly, poured out a few "Huang Jing Dan" that was specially used for cultivation but was not of much use for healing, and swallowed it with his head up.

"It seems that gunpowder is really the greatest invention of mankind! There is no ......" Xu Chen stood a little far away, so he could only vaguely hear a few characters spoken by Senior Brother Ma, but Senior Brother Ma's action of taking medicine was clearly seen by him, so he just spoke, Xu Chen, who wanted to make a fuss, immediately changed his face drastically, looked at Senior Brother Ma gloomily, and then waved his hand to everyone.

I don't know what the four thin threads on Senior Brother Ma's hands and feet were made of, and they were not damaged at all in such a violent explosion.

With a wave of Xu Chen's big hand, the four silk threads were stretched straight again!

"Is it useful to use the same move twice?" Senior Brother Ma turned his head and looked at Xu Chen, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but the coldness in his eyes made it impossible to look directly.

However, Xu Chen is not very human, so he can naturally look at it calmly, and also smiles: "How can it be useless?"

"Because, I'm already prepared!" Senior Brother Ma replied as a matter of course.

"Oh, I see!" Xu Chen nodded thoughtfully, and then smiled mischievously: "Then I wonder if that Ling'er girl is also prepared?"

Hearing this, the coldness in Senior Brother Ma's eyes became a little heavier, however, the smile remained the same: "She is much more prepared than I do!"

Xu Chen nodded in agreement and said, "You can see at a glance that this Ling'er girl's eldest lady is from a background, and she naturally has more treasures on her body! It seems that I will attack her first, which is correct!"

Senior Brother Ma only smiled slightly.

"Why don't you ask where she went?" Xu Chen suddenly asked when he saw Senior Brother Ma's indifferent appearance.

"Are you trying to distract me in this way?" said Senior Brother Ma with a smile.

Xu Chen nodded honestly: "Yes! It's just that it doesn't seem to work......"

"Oh, I'm so stupid! You fairy-like characters, you can just pinch your fingers and count, how can you worry?" Xu Chen patted his head with his hand and said with some annoyance.

"Forget it, I won't tease you!" After speaking, Xu Chen clapped his hands.

This is a signal, and it can't be transmitted far, but naturally someone will spread Xu Chen's order to the distance.

So a moment later, the sound of horses' hooves came down the bluestone road, and soon a carriage drawn by eight tall horses galloped towards it.

The person driving is Lu Hao, and there are few teenagers who can ride horses, which is very understandable, everyone is a child of a poor family, and the ox has never ridden a cow, let alone a tall horse!

So Lu Hao, who was well-educated and a gentleman in the six arts, became a horseman and drove eight horses at the same time.

The carriage quickly ran to Senior Brother Ma's side, and then Lu Hao pulled off a wrench beside him, and the bottom plate of the carriage was lifted to both sides. Suddenly, a piece of bluestone fell from the carriage, and it happened to weigh several bluestone slabs beside Senior Brother Ma underneath.

Then, Lu Hao jumped out of the carriage, let the eight horses drag the carriage away, walked quickly to Xu Chen's side, and looked at Senior Brother Ma opposite.

Xu Chen's actions, Senior Brother Ma watched quietly from the side from beginning to end. So Xu Chen laughed again and said what Fang had already said again: "Gunpowder is indeed the greatest invention in the world!"

Senior Brother Ma looked at the bluestone beside him with a somewhat solemn expression. The bluestone is about three feet square, and the weight is only thousands of catties, so it is pressed on those bluestone slabs, and it is also pressed on the body of the girl Ling'er.

Yes, Senior Brother Ma didn't care where Ling'er had gone at all, although in the siege of Fang Cai's circle of scholars, Ling'er's figure disappeared in front of his eyes, but he was only surprised for a moment, his divine sense swept over, and he easily found Ling'er's location.

Just where Ling'er was standing, there was a big pit hidden under the bluestone slab!

Under the touch of the organ, Ling'er, who was surrounded by the "scholars" in the center, naturally easily fell into the pit.

Before the explosion, Senior Brother Ma didn't make a move, on the one hand, because the change happened too quickly, and when he reacted, Ling'er had already fallen into the trap, and on the other hand, it was naturally due to his confidence in Ling'er.

Although Ling'er is not deeply involved in the world, she has excellent cultivation talent, and Xiaoxiao is not weaker than him as a senior brother in terms of age, not to mention the treasure that the elders gave her to save her life before she came to the door.

And after the explosion, Senior Brother Ma was indeed very similar to trying his best to rescue Ling'er, but in that explosion, Senior Brother Ma looked standing, but in fact, he was already seriously injured, and the healing pills on his body were blown away by the qi waves, and the few "Huang Jing Dan" swallowed could only add some aura to him, and he didn't know when he wanted to recover from his injuries on his own by his own functions.

Therefore, Senior Brother Ma was a little anxious, especially in his divine sense investigation, the trap where Ling'er was was actually densely covered with iron balls, the kind of iron balls that Fang Cai!
