Chapter 4392 — Prison Break!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
By now, the crowd had more or less guessed Wei Zhao's intent. Amid their awe and dread, hope crept unbidden onto their faces.
Whoever it was, shut up in this sunless dungeon, living in daily terror of whether the next human experiment would pluck him away, would be scared out of his wits before long.
If there was a chance to flee the dungeon—even a sliver of a chance—not one of them would let it slip, Sun Hengbiao included. Human experiments might not use Nascent Soul experts now, but who the hell knew what the future held?
A place of such peril—of course one fled the moment one could! Otherwise, who knew when death would come?
The crowd hurriedly roused their true qi with all their might to shield themselves, every neck craned, awaiting Wei Zhao's next move. Yet hope was hope: many of the old-timers who had been locked up the longest were, at bottom, merely watching the show—they did not believe Wei Zhao could succeed.
After all, Wei Zhao was surely not the first to conceive the notion of prison break. Sun Hengbiao included, many had harbored such thoughts, and some had even put them into practice—only the results were plain for all to see: failure, every one.
The dungeon was reinforced by a dedicated protective array, tough as all hell; an ordinary Nascent Soul expert could not so much as scratch it—only a Xuan Ascension expert might. And this fiend—brutal as he was, and truly strong enough to thrash Sun Hengbiao, a mid-Nascent Soul expert—if one claimed he was a Xuan Ascension titan, that was dreaming too much.
Hopeful, yet dismissive—such was the temper of the dungeon's occupants at this moment. But after Wei Zhao abruptly struck, their eyes changed in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rumbling, the earth shook and the mountains swayed; the crowd could not even count how many massive quakes had erupted—perhaps the shock of the top-grade bomb, perhaps the chain reactions it triggered. They felt only that heaven was falling and earth splitting, as though they stood in the midst of doomsday, panic-stricken and lost.
Many, even with true qi shielding them beforehand, were still wounded by the aftershocks; some were gravely hurt, nearly killed on the spot.
"It's open! It's really open!" Sun Hengbiao suddenly pointed ahead, shouting in wild joy. Amid the chaos, the others could not make out his words, but following the direction of his finger, the expressions on every face froze.
The dungeon was not completely shattered, but of one thing there was no doubt: the protective array reinforcing the walls had definitely been destroyed—for not far ahead, where darkness had reigned, a beam of long-lost sunlight was now streaming in!
Disbelief, stunned bewilderment, wild joy—even sobs. The faces of the dungeon's occupants at this moment were a spectacular sight to behold.
