Simultaneously traversing from Type-Moon

Du Can raised his arm, and the bright yellow gauze on his arm swayed gently with his movement.

This is a fighting spirit gauze dress.

No, to be precise, it's a magic gauze dress.

On the Dou Qi Continent, once you reach the Dou Shi realm, your body will naturally develop an ability: to use Dou Qi to form a protective shield that clings to your body like a gauze garment.

This aura-infused protective garment can defend any part of the body from every angle, making one feel invincible.

After Du Can shared this ability with him in Battle Through the Heavens, he naturally acquired it as well. However, the form of the ability changed slightly.

Using the concept of a battle vortex, he created a veil of magic on his body, which was in the form of flowing flames and contained an extremely high burning temperature.

It can use magic to directly negate the destructive power of physical attacks, and it can also use the powerful force of magical flames to destroy attacks on the magical level.

When Du Can was bombarded by Xiao Mufeng's tiny flames, he directly generated a magical veil on his body, which blocked all attacks, and his body was naturally unharmed.

Xiao Mufeng stared intently at the layer of flowing light, his pupils dilating slightly. What was that veil-like thing? What kind of magic was it? Could it be a protective shield formed by directly projecting magical power?

Magic, a peculiar energy derived from life force, can flow like a liquid within the body, but once it leaves the body's surface, it quickly vaporizes and evaporates into the air.

In theory, the common practice of modern magicians is to transform magic into various phenomena that affect the outside world, rather than directly releasing magic.

Because the technique of projecting magic is simply not suitable for modern magicians.

Only those magical beasts with enough power to squander it at will, and heroes of the Age of Gods, would use this simple, brutal, yet highly effective ability.

And now, he actually saw this phenomenon of magic manifesting in a modern person.

Does the other party have so much magic that they don't know what to do with it? Or are their magic circuits directly connected to the planet's source, allowing them to freely mobilize the planet's life force to generate magic?

In either case, he would have to reassess the strength of the person in front of him.

Looks like we're going to have to fight this hard.

Xiao Mufeng hardened his heart and began to issue commands, chanting the magic incantation: "[When a person harbors murderous intent, heaven and earth will be overturned!] Activate!"

Du Can was right when he said that the whole bamboo building was actually more like a firecracker building.

Xiao Mufeng used his gunpowder magic to alter the main structure of the bamboo building, giving the entire building immense destructive power.

Those previous sparks were just appetizers; what's being served now is the main course.

In an instant, the shape of the bamboo house began to change, with a large number of bamboo stalks sticking up and pointing the hollow bamboo tubes at Du Can.

The next moment, countless bamboo tubes shot out countless shuttle-shaped light bullets.

It's like the tracer rounds found in modern firearms, except that it's much larger, with a diameter about the size of the inner diameter of a bamboo tube.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Countless energy projectiles struck the ground, creating numerous large craters. They also pierced through several large trees, and a single burst of energy brought down an entire row of trees.

The power of this light bullet is comparable to that of a 40mm or larger anti-aircraft gun; an ordinary person would die instantly upon contact, or be seriously injured if grazed.

Despite the countless incoming light projectiles, Du Can remained standing still.

The light bullet struck the layer of gauze covering his body and exploded.

boom!

The thin, magical veil rippled like waves in the shockwave from the explosion, swaying freely as if it were about to be torn apart or dissipate, but in the end, it only rippled slightly.

Du Can stood motionless, his magic surging forth. His magical veil, like an eternal and indestructible sacred garment, calmly accepted all attacks.

Countless light projectiles rained down like a storm, striking Du Can's magical gauze robe. Yet, it was as if a downpour was hitting a raincoat—fierce yet utterly unharmed.

"It's still a bit weak in terms of power," Du Can said calmly. "It can't penetrate my defenses. If you have any other tricks up your sleeve, just use them."

No sooner had Du Can finished speaking than Xiao Mufeng made another move.

Suddenly, bright flames shot out from the bamboo poles that made up the main body of the bamboo house, and it flew towards Du Can like a rocket.

Du Can exclaimed, "Good heavens, is this a rocket made of bamboo?"

The next instant, the bamboo rocket struck Du Can directly.

boom--!

A huge explosion rang out.

Du Can was thrown backward by the huge shockwave from the explosion and flew out of the bamboo house.

However, Du Can spun several times in the air before gently landing on the ground.

Although he looked a little disheveled, he was actually unharmed.

The explosion was fierce, but for him, it was just like a torrential downpour turning into a high-pressure water cannon.

He had just increased the thickness of his magic veil to counteract the kinetic energy of the explosion. A raincoat might have difficulty stopping a high-pressure water cannon, but a bulletproof vest would be much easier.

Du Can then saw several more bamboo rockets flying towards him.

This time, he didn't try to take the hit head-on.

He extended his right hand, generating a powerful suction force in his palm—a force capable of forcibly pulling together objects weighing several tons. These bamboo poles, naturally not being that heavy, were easily drawn towards him.

Du Can didn't intend to set himself on fire by sucking the bamboo rocket towards him. He quickly changed the direction of his hand, altering the direction of the suction and changing the trajectory of the bamboo rocket accordingly.

Du Can used the powerful suction force to throw the bamboo rockets back.

The bamboo rockets were fired at the bamboo house.

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Mufeng's expression changed slightly beneath his black mask, but he remained calm.

The bamboo rockets misfired as they approached the bamboo house, turning into ordinary bamboo.

He can use gunpowder magic to turn these bamboos into rockets, so he can naturally change their state back.

"Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?" Du Can asked. "If you run out, I'm going to have to grab you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mufeng gritted his teeth.

He realized that this guy hadn't launched any attacks before, but had been almost entirely on the defensive, which meant he didn't take his offense seriously.

But he could also see that this guy's strength was indeed astonishing: whether it was the plant manipulation magic he used before, his amazing magical perception ability, or the magical shield formed by the release of magical energy now.

The abilities his opponent used were increasingly beyond his expectations, shocking him.

But with these, he is definitely not going to be defeated.

"Don't underestimate me!" Xiao Mufeng roared. "Let me show you my ultimate trump card—[Heaven][Earth][Mystery][Yellow]—Go!"

In an instant, the entire bamboo house collapsed, and all the bamboo burst open. A large amount of dark gray gunpowder escaped from it, forming a massive gunpowder cloud that resembled a dark cloud.

The enormous cloud of gunpowder rolled directly down on Du Can.

Du Can narrowed his eyes as he looked at the enormous cloud of gunpowder. He could sense the immense energy contained within it. He could take it head-on, but he might end up in a rather awkward situation.

Having realized this, he took immediate action.

"Battle Qi Transforms into - Fire Path Azure Dragon".

This is a magic trick he created based on the intermediate-level Xuan-rank combat skill "Fire Dragon Summoning".

He activated all 108 magic circuits within his body. A gigantic fire dragon head materialized directly in front of him, opened its massive maw, and then crashed into the ever-approaching cloud of gunpowder.

Then, the Flame Dragon Head swallowed the gunpowder cloud whole, just like a child eating a cotton candy.

Upon witnessing this scene, Du Can remained calm and composed, while Xiao Mufeng was utterly shocked.

How is this possible?! His strongest attack was just neutralized by the opponent like that?!

That's obviously not that simple; there's a second level... This refers to the second move of the Fire Path Azure Dragon.

The next instant, the gunpowder cloud within the dragon's head began to change. Since the dragon was itself sculpted from intense heat, swallowing the gunpowder cloud naturally caused a violent reaction, like a thunderbolt striking the earth.

The flame dragon head opened its mouth wide again.

boom--!!!!!!

The earth shook violently, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and everything lost its color.

A small mushroom cloud slowly rose.

Chapter 29 The Original Concept of Gunpowder

Gunpowder was originally a product accidentally discovered by alchemists during the pre-Qin period when they were searching for a path to immortality.

To ordinary people, gunpowder was merely a flammable and explosive substance. But to the alchemists of the pre-Qin period, gunpowder was the prototype of an elixir of immortality.

At the time, they all believed that as long as they could subdue the violent fire contained in gunpowder and turn its vigorous power into their own, they could stay young forever and live forever.

But as it turns out, gunpowder doesn't grant immortality; on the contrary, it can easily kill people, leaving not even ashes behind.

The dream of an elixir of immortality has been shattered.

Later, people discovered that gunpowder could be used to drive away beasts and evil spirits.

Many wild animals fear the light and sound of gunpowder, and gunpowder can also weaken and eliminate the poison of miasma.

Because the shape and sound of gunpowder are similar to thunder in the sky, it is likened to thunder and called gunpowder "man-made thunder".

It can drive away beasts and vanquish evil spirits, and can be called "the Thunder that vanquishes evil spirits".

The gunpowder magic inherited by Xiao Mufeng, in its true form is gunpowder, but in reality it is artificial thunder that simulates the thunder in the sky, namely the "Evil-Slaying Divine Thunder".

It can command and control wild beasts, and it can also kill evil creatures.

If the target is an enemy of humanity like a Dead Apostle or a vampire, the powerful concepts of exorcism, extermination, and artificial lightning are enough to easily injure or even kill the opponent.

However, it's not as effective when dealing with humans.

After all, Xiao Mufeng was skilled in gunpowder magic, not firearm magic.

Although these two are essentially from the same source, they have diverged into two different paths and are quite different in their development.

Xiao Mufeng originally only used gunpowder magic as a means of exorcising evil spirits and had no intention of killing anyone.

But not long ago, after he went on a business trip to the Middle East, was betrayed, and shot in the back, his views completely changed.

He traced the origins of the Demon-Slaying Thunder to its source, transforming it into the concept of primitive gunpowder. Then, he forcibly linked it to concepts such as firearms, cannons, and firearms, and, referencing the forms of modern weapons, created this magic trick designed solely for killing.

Its name is [Primitive Gunpowder Killing Weapon].

He transformed primitive gunpowder into landmines, grenades, guns, cannons, rockets, and even nuclear bombs.
