The Empress's Gigolo

Chapter 889: Conventional Weapon

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ren Baqian’s face looked relaxed.

At this time, he was truly relaxed.

He believed that these people would make the right choice after seeing the power of nuclear bombs.

Before that, however, Ren Baqian wanted to give them a deeper impression.

Sometimes, it was good to stay mysterious.

However, there was no harm in making certain things public at times.

For instance, how to make a nuclear bomb was naturally confidential. Of course, even if it was publicized, no one would understand it. Ren Baqian couldn’t even find the radioactive elements himself.

He just needed the crowd to know one thing—that this thing was cheap!

They were so cheap that he wouldn’t feel the pinch even if he threw 100 of them, provided that environmental pollution and damage weren’t considered.

A cheap and powerful weapon of mass destruction capable of destroying a city, and an extremely precious killing weapon. The threat level of these two weapons was incomparable.

The first one was a toy that Ren Baqian could throw regardless of his mood. He could throw it at someone if he or she wasn’t pleasing to the eye…

It was like smashing someone’s window using the waistband of his underwear as a slingshot.

The second one would only be used at critical moments as it would greatly reduce its deterrent power. Their enemies would avoid them at all costs and wouldn’t dare to offend or provoke them after knowing that they had such a powerful killing weapon.

Although the nuclear bomb was a strategic weapon, Ren Baqian wanted them to know that it was actually a conventional weapon!

He greeted the crowd with a seemingly complex look. He sat there quietly until someone brought a box over.

He opened the box and took out a metal cylinder that was half the height of a man.

Ren Baqian actually wanted to throw it like a hand grenade, but decided to drop the idea after considering its size.

“This thing is small.” He smiled at the crowd.

“That thing just now was only this small?” Everyone found it unbelievable.

How could such a small thing be so powerful? Although the explosion was several kilometers away, it was extremely loud with a gigantic blast radius. That explosion seemed to have happened just before their eyes.

“Of course not. That one was bigger, slightly bigger than I am.” Ren Baqian gestured.

Everyone still found it incredible. Even if it was bigger than him, the comparison of its size to its power was like Heaven and Earth.

Even an Earth Wheel expert could carry it while walking.

Ren Baqian lifted the metal cylinder and started to twist his body. Next, he spun a few times to gain momentum and threw it in the direction of the prior explosion.

The crowd couldn’t help but stand up, and their eyes followed the cylinder closely as it moved in a parabolic trajectory and fell to the bottom of the mountain.

It only took a few seconds for it to fall from the mountain peak, but everyone felt as if it had been a few hours. They were all anxious to see the power of that thing.

Boom!

There was a loud roar once again.

At the foot of the mountain in the distance, that cylinder immediately turned into a small sun.

In addition to the mushroom cloud, there was a tremendous amount of light, heat, and noise…

This warhead only had a 60 ton payload and was the leftover bomb from when they had traveled into the sixty Thousand Mountains. Its power was incomparable to the previous detonated warhead.

This was the difference between a 60 ton and a 470 kiloton bomb.

However, the distance of this explosion was more than 10 times closer than the last, and everyone saw the entire process clearly. They were even more shocked, so much so that these top experts took a long time to snap out of it after witnessing the explosion.

Another one!

Another one!

Another one!

Everyone had such thoughts.

It was a familiar event and a familiar experience!

Although the power of the second one was incomparable to the first, it was already enough to destroy a city.

They could even feel the heat of the flames and the pain from the debris hitting their bodies as they simply stood there.

With such a weapon, Dayao hardly needed to expend any effort to take down Great Xia.

Physical force… It had zero value in the face of this weapon.

A huge wave arose in the heart of Ma Hongyu. He had never expected to see this when he received that letter!

So what if they were Spirit Wheel experts?

So what if they had Heaven-grade weapons?

So what if they were the top experts in the world?

Not to mention the might of the first warhead, even for the second one, they would definitely perish if they did not notice it early enough and escape a certain distance!

Why would such things exist in the world?

Lin Dong’s eyebrows had been tense since the start. He was supposed to join in on the fun this time. He was also the one who spread the news outside because he knew more things than the others.

There were some things that were recorded in Righteous Sect that weren’t recorded in other sects!

However, he didn’t expect that he would startle himself in the end!

It was a little too lively!

At the same time, Lin Dong began to speculate about what Ren Baqian was going to say.

“Alright guys, now we can talk about business.” Ren Baqian made an impolite gesture by clapping his hands as if he were a teacher trying to draw his students’ attention. However, no one cared about it at this time.

Everyone suppressed their various thoughts, turned their heads, and looked at him solemnly.

Even if he wasn’t even a Spirit Wheel expert.

Even if the label of the empress’s consort was removed from him.

The scene that everyone just saw made them cautious when facing Ren Baqian.

In the past, he had a famous reputation that spread in Great Xia and had been called the Poison Warrior. However, this nickname was nothing compared to what they saw today.

“Sit down, everyone. I know you have a lot of questions on your mind, and I also have a lot of things to tell you.” He waved his hand. “Don’t think too much. This is not a bad thing.”

“Not a bad thing?” Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat. It might not be a bad thing for Ren Baqian, but this might not be necessarily true for them.

“What you just saw was a nuclear bomb, a kind of… A technological achievement that you guys don’t understand. On a scale of one to 10 with 10 being the strongest, the power of the second warhead that you just saw is between zero and one. The first one is roughly a three.”

Everyone’s hearts sank when they heard this.

If the first one was a three, what would a 10 look like?

Was he for real?

“As for the quantity of them that we have… You should be able to guess that I probably wouldn’t show you this display of fireworks if it was expensive.” Ren Baqian laughed again. “Maybe you’ll get to see it again soon!”

At this point, everyone felt a little dubious.

If what he said was true, this world would probably have everything turned on its head.

There would probably only be Dayao left in a few years’ time!

However, Ren Baqian’s last sentence made everyone nervous, and the event that happened the night before reemerged in their minds. After Su Xianxian left, Ren Baqian said that this person was already a dead man.

Everyone felt disdainful at that time. Unless Qi Zixiao or Hong Wu were to fight Su Xianxian, how many other people in the world were his opponent?

Besides, Su Xianxian was a highly ranked expert with regard to his movement techniques. Unless he was forced to the brink of death, no one could catch up to him if he were to run! Not even Qi Zixiao or Hong Wu. He was very proud of this. No matter which expert was facing him, they might defeat him, but it would be hard for them to detain him.

However, this was also the very ability that brought him trouble.

If Ren Baqian were to use this weapon against him, he and Luohua Sect would probably be reduced to smoke.

If he knew that this would happen, he would probably regret what he had done!
