Unless dozens of Heaven-Shaking Thunderbombs struck a target at the same time, killing a strong opponent outright was nearly impossible.
This first exchange had merely been a test, a probing strike to gauge one another's strength.
Neither side had yet revealed their true trump cards.
Even so, the sheer scale of the attack was terrifying.
The total value of the destructive items used in that brief clash amounted to several million gold coins, enough to obliterate hundreds of ordinary low-level Qi Sea Realm martial artists.
Just as the six of them were preparing to unleash a second and even fiercer round of battle—
Creak.
A heavy metallic sound echoed through the chamber.
Mu Lan and the others, by some unknown method, had succeeded in opening the giant metal gate.
At once, an endless flood of blue light poured out from within.
The radiant glow spread like a tide, engulfing Mu Lan and her group first, then sweeping over Li Yun and the others before anyone could react.
