As the bomb approached, her superhuman vision almost captured the instant the explosion formed, with sparks flying. In a fraction of a second, she channeled her inner energy, forming a protective aura around her body!

Then, 'Boom...'! The intense explosion began!

Countless metal fragments whizzed through the air, and fierce flames rose, once again dyeing the dark night sky red. The shockwave violently struck in all directions, blasting the surrounding trees into pieces! Large clumps of soil and plant debris fell from the ground where Yun Mo was lying, burying him beneath.

'Crack!' The protective aura around Xiaoyu's body was shredded by the flames and metal fragments. She didn't feel much pain, but she noticed that her body seemed to have lost control, a feeling far more terrifying than pain. Xiaoyu felt a surge of nausea in her chest! She promptly closed her eyes to prevent further damage.

The violent explosion shook her bones almost to the point of shattering! With a muffled groan, the cute braid at the back of her head was incinerated by the flames! Her black clothes were reduced to a few tattered pieces, and her delicate body was covered in wounds, even on her face. Blood flowed profusely, and her exposed skin was charred black and gray. Even her beautiful long eyelashes were not spared, burned to a crisp.

Despite her disheveled appearance, she was not seriously injured, as these were only superficial wounds. However, Xiaoyu knew that once the explosion occurred, experts would soon arrive, probably in just 5 or 6 breaths. Although the time was short, it was enough for her to land and quickly kill that despicable guy before escaping!

"This person has hurt me; he must die!" Xiaoyu screamed in her heart, filled with hatred. Along with the hatred was a sense of shame. "I, a mighty Tianyun expert, was reduced to this pathetic state by a mere 4th-level Tianyou shrimp. How can I face anyone now?"

Thud! She landed heavily on the pine forest ground. Although the fall was severe, she felt a moment of relief, thinking, "Lucky! I am a Tianyun expert; this level of fire attack won't kill me! If it were a more powerful spell, I would be in real danger!"

Just as she was about to jump up and attack, her heart suddenly began to beat uncontrollably!

"Oh no!" She screamed, no longer thinking about killing Yun Mo. Her body tightened into a ball, and she didn't have time to summon her armor from her spatial ring. All the remaining inner energy in her body rushed to form a protective net around her, with pink blade light emanating from her nails, swirling around her body!

'Boom!' The landmine was triggered by her falling body!

Yun Mo had already calculated the distance in his mind. Every word and action was designed to lure this woman into the landmine trap. He knew that the bombs in his hands were not enough to defeat a Tianyun expert; only by triggering the pre-set landmines could he possibly injure her, giving him a chance to survive.

Tianyun experts are proud! Especially when facing a 4th-level Tianyou like Wen Jun, even the most composed would subconsciously believe they had everything under control, thinking the opponent couldn't do anything! This was an instinctive judgment!

Indeed, based on cultivation alone, Yun Mo had no chance! But he had a trump card. Xiaoyu had to suffer this loss due to her overconfidence!

'Boom!' Dozens of pre-buried landmines detonated simultaneously! The elemental energy in the area was stirred into a violent vortex as if by a giant hand from the sky! With the fiery red flames rising, the pine forest within the explosion range was obliterated, the power so great that it dimmed the heavens and earth!

All the guards on duty in the city lord's residence looked towards this place! Anger filled their eyes. "This is a provocation! Do they think our city lord's residence is unguarded? They keep causing trouble, this is a slap in the face!" Immediately, the guards, led by their commander, rushed to the explosion site, determined to catch the culprit: "If I catch you, I'll flay you alive!"

The landmines were indeed terrifying, but fortunately, Yun Mo used a directional explosion method, concentrating the force inward and not letting it spread outward. Otherwise, he would have been affected, being only a hundred meters away. Now, he was only buried under a thicker layer of soil and tree debris, avoiding the shockwave.

But Xiaoyu was ready to curse! The protective aura she hastily formed was mercilessly torn apart by the force, and her body was engulfed in raging flames. The violent shockwave sent her flying far away, and in mid-air, her bones began to crack and break!

Tianyun is Tianyun; there's no denying it. Despite the intense explosion, Xiaoyu's body was not shattered.

Thud! As the flames subsided and the explosion's force waned, Xiaoyu's body fell heavily to the ground, shaking the rocks and trees into dust, showing the incredible resilience of her body!

A figure with all her hair burned off, no clothes, and a body blackened and smoking, stood up with great effort. Xiaoyu's body was riddled with countless fractures and wounds of various sizes! Blood and black ash mixed together, turning the beautiful woman into a monstrous figure from the mountains!

'Ah...!' She screamed, her voice hoarse and ugly, her throat clearly injured. Her eyes were filled with a terrifying killing intent, but feeling the severity of her injuries and knowing that experts would soon arrive, she knew she couldn't continue the pursuit. When the situation is hopeless, one must retreat immediately; this is a rule for top-tier assassins. She was not a loyalist, lacking the resolve to sacrifice herself for a mission.

Xiaoyu endured the intense pain, began forming seals with her blackened hands, and used her nails to pierce her body, causing more blood to flow. This scene was extremely bizarre and terrifying; if a normal person saw someone self-mutilate like this, they would be unable to bear it!

Her nails, after all, were successfully refined into yellow-grade weapons, and they were undamaged by the explosion. They were now black and gray, but they would likely return to their original state after a quick cleaning.

As she quickly formed the seals and self-mutilated, a dense, almost tangible red aura enveloped her body, and with a flash, she shot through the air for several miles!

This was a teleportation technique, a super-level combat skill! It was something Xiaoyu had obtained by chance in her early years. She had never used it before because this technique, which consumed one-third of her inner blood, caused significant damage. Her cultivation would drop by a major level, and it would take about half a year to recover. She would never have used it if not for the dire situation.
