AMSSO-Chapter 52: Invincible Thunderbolt Bomb

Ke Chongbo never expected that after surviving the dangers within the Myriad Beast Forest, he would fall victim to the malice of human hearts!

Ke Chongbo was the youngest son of Elder Ke of Changtian Sect, cherished from birth. If he wanted wind, there would be wind, if he wanted rain, it would rain.

At twenty-five years old, he had already reached Golden Core Stage.

To achieve Golden Core at this age, he was undoubtedly a genius.

Although he had his parents’ strong support, without sufficient talent, he could never have advanced so quickly.

It was precisely because of his wealthy family background, his parents’ doting, his elder brother’s indulgence, and his own extraordinary talent that he became so arrogant!

Years of smooth sailing had clouded his judgment, leading him to enter the Myriad Beast Forest.

Others said the Myriad Beast Forest contained many treasures. If he could obtain a fine treasure from within, he could present it as a gift to Elder Ke!

Elder Ke was about to celebrate his two-hundredth birthday, that’s a grand occasion!

So Ke Chongbo decided he must prepare a gift for his father.

Thus, he secretly followed others into the Myriad Beast Forest.

Though arrogant, he wasn’t a fool.

He knew how dangerous the Myriad Beast Forest was. According to rumors, it was filled with peril, where one misstep could leave not even a corpse behind!

Though proud of his own strength, he wasn’t blindly confident.

He had prepared plenty of protective magic tools and talismans, and naturally, many medicinal pills as well.

With his parents’ and elder brother’s love, he lacked none of these things.

He simply wanted to find a gift for his father, not throw away his life.

But he hadn’t expected that after obtaining a fine treasure and safely exiting the forest, he would be ambushed!

Just as they reached the outer perimeter of the Myriad Beast Forest, several masked men rushed out, wielding weapons and magic tools, launching attacks against him!

Ke Chongbo was only at the Golden Core Stage. Faced with a group of Golden Core cultivators hell bent on his death, he couldn’t fight back!

These masked men, whose origins were unknown, were each much stronger than him!

Their goal was clear, every strike they launched was fatal.

Ke Chongbo was no fool, he immediately turned to flee.

He had no wish to die here!

Besides, if he died, how heartbroken would his parents and elder brother be?!

But since these people had targeted him specifically, they naturally wouldn’t allow him to escape so easily.

Although his storage pouch contained many defensive magic tools and talismans, the attackers seemed to know exactly what he had, dodging every counterattack.

He threw out every life-preserving artifact he had, yet they only suffered minor injuries, with none fatal.

In contrast, his own life was hanging by a thread!

Fortunately, he still had one final trump card. Relying on it, he barely escaped their pursuit.

But he only escaped the Myriad Beast Forest, he had not yet escaped death!

Just as despair set in, he spotted a house ahead!

The house was neither grand nor spacious, just a few small rooms patched together, without even a courtyard wall, looking plain and shabby.

It was like finding a life-saving straw. He burst forth with unprecedented strength, charging forward madly.

Surely, someone this secluded must be a hidden expert?!

At this point, Ke Chongbo no longer cared about anything else.

He sprinted madly, soon reaching the house, shouting, “Save me!”

He quickly saw the people inside and froze.

Although cultivators seemed like immortals to mortals, they too came in all kinds of appearances, some beautiful, some plain.

Ke Chongbo himself was fairly handsome, and he had seen many good-looking people.

But these individuals, whether male or female, all had stunning looks!

Is this the immortal realm?

Still, he had no time to marvel at their beauty, he only wanted to live.

“Who are you?!”

Xin Jinrui walked out of the kitchen, one hand holding a sword, the other a spatula, with an apron tied around his waist.

This bizarre sight left Ke Chongbo stunned for a moment.

But he had no time to comment, for his pursuers had already arrived.

“Save me! I am the youngest son of Ke Minglu from the Changtian Sect! If you save me, I will have my father reward you handsomely!” Ke Chongbo shouted at once.

“Changtian Sect?” Chu Jingzhuo frowned.

Qin Yiwei’s expression grew more complicated. She had heard of Ke Chongbo!

In her previous life, she had spent some time at Changtian Sect and heard some gossip and secret news.

Ke Chongbo’s name was often mentioned, always followed by unanimous sighs of pity.

They said Ke Chongbo had perished during an expedition.

After his death, Elder Ke Minglu and his dao companion Wen Yan collapsed in grief.

Ke Minglu and Wen Yan had been strong contenders for the position of Sect Master of the Changtian Sect.

But after their son’s death, the couple focused solely on finding their son’s killers, abandoning all thought of competing for sect leadership.

In the end, their rival faction seized the Sect Master position and, through despicable schemes, expelled them from the Changtian Sect.

Later, Qin Yiwei only knew that the couple seemed to have perished as well.

She heard their eldest son, Ke Chongzhen, had even fallen into demonic cultivation.

Qin Yiwei also wasn’t clear on Ke Chongzhen’s ultimate fate as she was already struggling to survive by then.

The reason Ke Chongbo had left such an impression on her was because the one who eventually became the Sect Master was none other than Zhao Hanxue’s master!

Had it not been for Ke Chongbo’s death, the position of Sect Master might never have fallen to Zhao Hanxue’s master.

Never did she expect, upon reliving her life, that she would encounter Ke Chongbo!

So this was where Ke Chongbo had met his end!

In her past life, by this time Wanxuan Sect had already been destroyed, and this place had long since turned to ruins.

Even if Ke Chongbo had fled here then, he would not have survived.

Now, however, things were different.

As Qin Yiwei’s thoughts turned, the several Golden Core cultivators chasing him had already caught up.

Seeing their masked faces, Qin Yiwei immediately realized, these people had come prepared!

And Ke Chongbo, by running here, had brought the danger with him!

Her expression instantly darkened.

Even if she wanted to save Ke Chongbo, she hadn’t intended for him to drag danger here!

While she worried, Mu Shiyue had already shouted, “Old Third, where’s your thing?”

“Ah!” Jiang Yunnuan’s eyes lit up. She shouted excitedly, “Take this—Invincible Thunderbolt Bomb!”

At her gleeful cry, a black sphere shot toward the pursuing cultivators.

The attackers’ expressions changed instantly.

Invincible Thunderbolt Bomb? The name alone sounded vicious!

One man immediately slashed at it with his sword.

The sphere was not solid as he expected, but soft and thin. It split open at once, releasing a cloud of powder.

“Dodge!” Qin Yiwei’s face changed drastically, shouting aloud.

Those who knew the weapon’s lethality swiftly dodged.

But Ke Chongbo, weakened from blood loss, failed to react in time and was covered head to toe in powder.

He froze. What was this Invincible Thunderbolt Bomb?

What was “invincible” about it?

Then, suddenly, an unbearable itch overwhelmed him, and all his strength drained away.

Ke Chongbo: “???!!!”
