"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Deafening explosions thundered, reaching up to the Nine Heavens Cloud, and the smoke filled the air as half of the mine collapsed in the blast.
Heu Lu got up, shaking the dust and debris from his head, and said with smug satisfaction, "Hmph, what Grandmaster, what dragon—they're all just ants before modern gunpowder!"
