The aftermath of the explosion continued to rage on.
The terrifying shockwave had nearly flattened the entire mountain range, and the hurricane it had caused swept through half of China.
Even from dozens of kilometers away, one could still see the hurricane and the humongous mushroom cloud rising into the sky.
No one knew how much time had passed.
The dust here had just settled, and the place where Ye Fan and Huangniu had been was just a shocking ruin now.
That round crater was more than a hundred meters wide.
This showed how terrifying the power of the explosion was at its epicenter.
Everything had been reduced to the most basic particles and dispersed in the air under the ultra-high temperature of the nuclear explosion.
Whoosh!
In no time, several figures appeared on the horizon, breaking through the air with incredible speed.
They finally came to a halt in this corner of the world.
Among them were Moryana, who was also known as Mu Zihua, as well as Asura, the Death God, along with two others.
They had scoured the surroundings to confirm the absence of any signs of life within a hundred-kilometer radius.
"It's over. With Chu Tianfan out of the picture, our Dragon Gate Project can finally proceed without any impediments. Our grand ambitions will now be unstoppable!" declared Asura with a note of triumph in his voice. He stood at the horizon with a smile on his face.
Looking down at the ruins below, Moryana and the others watched as the cold wind whipped up a storm of dust that flowed through their fingertips.
"That's right. It's all over," Moryana said softly.
The giant nuclear bomb that had been dropped earlier was something even she might not have been able to withstand.
Ye Fan, who was seriously injured, naturally had no chance of survival.
Even if he was made of iron, he would still be instantly vaporized under the terrifying heat of the nuclear explosion.
No one doubted about his certain death at all.
"Where's Chu Tianfan, Master? Is he dead?"
At this moment, more people arrived from behind.
After all, the commotion here was too great.
Even those who were thousands of kilometers away on Mount Yan could feel the enormous earthquake on the southwestern border.
Chen Jiuzhou, Sword Saint, and the others had all rushed over to investigate the situation.
Chen Jiuzhou was the first to arrive, followed by War God, Sword Saint, and King of Fighters. Xu Lei, who was under War God's protection, also tagged along.
Seeing his own master, Chen Jiuzhou couldn't contain his excitement and hurriedly asked if Ye Fan was dead.
Moryana nodded. "Chu Tianfan is a sc*m of the country who has done nothing but harm. He deserves the wrath of both heaven and man, and every person in the world has a right to kill him. It serves him right that he's now dead and his body is burned to ashes."
Ye Qingtian and the others still felt a pang of pain in their hearts even though they were mentally prepared.
Sword Saint and King of Fighters both felt sad as well, but they did not show it.
Their expressions remained cold.
Only Xu Lei's delicate body trembled as tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks.
Ye Qingtian supported her and reminded her in a low voice to control her emotions. At the same time, he also kept her behind him, afraid that Moryana and the others would notice.
Xu Lei didn't cry out loud but only gritted her teeth. She tried very hard to control the surging grief in her heart. As she bit her lip hard, blood began to flow from it.
"The enemy has been eliminated, and everything here is done. Go back as soon as possible and continue the Dragon Gate Project."
Moryana, Asura, and the others did not linger and left one after another after making sure that there was no sign of life around the area.
Their mission was over, and they would each return to their own countries to resume the Dragon Gate Project.
Chen Jiuzhou was also ready to return with his master.
"Aren't you guys leaving? The Dragon Gate Project is resuming. Hurry back and join the Dragon Gate training!" urged Chen Jiuzhou, glancing at Ye Qingtian and his companions.
He wanted them to quickly return to Mount Yan and continue their journey into the Dragon Gate.
"Hmm? Who is this young lady?"
Chen Jiuzhou's gaze was instantly drawn to Xu Lei, who was standing next to Ye Qingtian.
