The huge three-story restaurant instantly turned into a sea of fire. The diners who were still having a banquet in the restaurant were killed by the violent explosion almost at the same time. The explosion drowned out the screams. Located on the third floor at the center of the explosion, Along with huge flames and vibrations, it began to collapse.
Almost at the same time as the explosion, five figures rushed out of the B&B not far from Luk Fook Casino, staring at the exploding restaurant.
The leader was a tall man in rich clothes. He was in his thirties, with a slightly longer nose and a wide mouth that always seemed to have a smile. He looked at the restaurant in flames with confidence in his eyes: "The fish is hooked."

On the right side of the big man, a woman with luxurious clothes and extraordinary temperament also had a cold look in her eyes and said: "I have warned them before. Since they are bent on seeking death, then let them be fulfilled."
The elegant middle-aged man standing to the left of the big man, with a long beard and a Confucian shirt, said with a smile: "The great master is so good at it. I never thought that those alchemists could create such powerful hidden weapons in their alchemy furnaces." .”
During the Warring States Period, alchemists offered the elixir of immortality to King Jing. From then on, alchemy became a trend and became popular.
A very important method in alchemy is fire alchemy. The so-called fire method is a heating method without water. Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty recorded the fire method in "Baopuzi". The fire method generally includes: Forge, refine, moxibustion, melt, pump, fly, and fine.
Alchemists often use the method of burning sulfur, arsenic and other poisonous medicines before using them. "Fu" means to subdue, so that the toxicity is lost or reduced. This procedure is called "subduing fire" .
The recipe for taming fire proposed in the method of taming fire: "Two liang of sulfur, two liang of saltpeter, three and a half qian of Aristolochia. On the right is the powder, mix well. Dig a pit, put medicine in the jar to the level of the ground. Put the cooked fire into the pot One piece, big marble, lowered inside, smoke gradually rises."
Some knowledgeable people unexpectedly discovered that burning sulfur, realgar, saltpeter, and honey would cause a fire that would completely destroy the house, and even cause a violent impact, knocking off the roof.
This was the prototype of gunpowder. During the Sui Dynasty, ambitious people discovered that it could be exploited. For example, the man in front of him, known as the Great Master, took advantage of the psychological laxity of Song Xing and his party, and actually planted a huge amount of gunpowder in the restaurant in advance. Primitive gunpowder, after they stepped into the restaurant, they sent dead soldiers to ignite the gunpowder, blowing up the entire restaurant and the innocent diners inside to pieces.
The explosion was so powerful that it even affected the Luk Fook Casino across the street. Perhaps because of the limited power of the original gunpowder, only a small corner of the casino was hit by the aftermath of the explosion. Even so, dozens of gamblers screamed. He was injured by the collapsed walls.
The gamblers who were gambling on the first floor were so panicked that they could no longer care about gambling. They shouted and fled the casino. When they saw the raging fire on the opposite side, they were even more frightened and fled without looking back.
After the fleeing crowd dispersed, Xiang Yushan's figure appeared beside the five people. He bowed respectfully to the leading man and said, "Greetings to the Great Master and Elder Xu."
The elegant middle-aged man known as Elder Xu looked at Xiang Yushan gently, nodded and praised: "The Xiang family has done well this time. When this happens, we will not treat the Xiang family badly."
Xiang Yushan's face was filled with joy, and he bowed to express his thanks: "Thank you so much, Great Master and Elder Xu for their cultivation. The Xiang family will definitely do their best."
Faced with the scene of heavy casualties, the big man remained unmoved. He still stared at the flames and said calmly: "The people who killed Laojun Guan just did it casually. What they really want to do is to attract Xiang Yutian to show up. There is such a thing in the city." If there is any big movement, as long as he is still in Baling, he will definitely take action, Xiangyushan, ask the people below you to keep an eye on me."
Xiang Yushan said quickly: "Back to the Great Master, all the hands of the Xiang family have been spilled. As soon as Lu Kangshou died, the Baling Gang fell into the hands of the second leader Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian is also one of ours, and the power of the Baling Gang They have all been sent to various places in Baling by Xiao Mian, and no disturbance will escape your control."
The big man nodded with satisfaction and stopped talking.
Several people stood in front of the burning flames and talked as if no one was around. They all thought that the four Song Xing people trapped in the flames were already dead and could not die anymore.
The elegant middle-aged man sighed with regret: "Song Wenshao has a successor. It's a pity that he shouldn't have stepped into this muddy water."
As soon as he finished speaking, the big man known as Da Zun suddenly turned his head and looked at the most severely collapsed location on the third floor of the restaurant.
Amidst the raging flames, a burst of cold air suddenly came out. The originally hot air instantly turned into a scorching heat and winter. A strong cold air burst out from the third floor, making Xiangyushan Mengbuding who was standing behind several people shiver. , looking at the location of the restaurant with surprise.
In everyone's surprised eyes, the air that had been distorted by the flames was separated. Under the distorted sight, a bloated figure just stepped on the flames, ignoring the licking of the flames around him, separated the flames, and came to the front door of the restaurant. .
The remaining door collapsed in the flames and fell heavily behind the figure. Driven by the wind, the blazing flames opened their teeth and claws to devour everything in front of them. However, when they got closer to the figure, they all stopped and were overwhelmed by the extreme cold air around him. Freeze out.
Xiangyushan looked at it intently, and then his expression changed drastically.
What stepped out of the flames was Song Xing, who he had thought died in the explosion. In Song Xing's hands, he was carrying the injured Rong Jiaojiao and Shuanglong respectively, so the figures seen in the flames were particularly bloated.
"With such explosions and flames, this person didn't even die!"
Xiang Yushan looked at Song Xing's expressionless face and felt his soul begin to tremble. It wasn't until he saw the big man in front of him and thought of this man's martial arts that he finally calmed down.
Not only Xiang Yushan, but the other five people present also had surprised looks on their faces when they saw that Song Xing was not dead.
With such violent explosions and flames, if you think about it, except for the big man at the head, the other four people had no confidence in escaping.
The young man in front of him, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, not only remained unscathed, he was also able to protect several people around him from much harm.
Song Xing put the three people down and asked in a calm tone: "Are you okay?"
Kou Zhong looked at the fiercely burning flames behind him with concern, shook his head and said: "It's okay, thanks to Master this time, otherwise Xiaoling and I would really have to deal with each other here."
When the flames engulfed the restaurant just now, Kou Zhong really thought he was going to die here. Unexpectedly, Song Xing noticed the crisis just before the explosion, and directly volleyed his palm to extinguish the most powerful flames of the explosion. Then, with a violent blow, During the explosion, a massive amount of powerful Taiyin Qi was used to suppress the flames outside the body and prevent it from getting close.
When Xiang Yushan and others rushed over, they happened to encounter Song Xing carrying Rong Jiaojiao and three others, rushing out of the flames.
Listening to the wailing of the innocent diners behind him in the flames, a rare flash of anger flashed in Song Xing's eyes.
The target of these people from the beginning was him, but Song Xing did not expect that in order to take their lives, these people would even treat these innocent diners as part of a trap to relax the vigilance of the four of them.
Song Xing looked at the people opposite him and took in the six people opposite him at a glance. Except for Xiang Yushan, who he had met before, he didn't recognize the rest of them.
However, Rong Jiaojiao knew the elegant middle-aged man. When she saw his appearance, she blurted out: "Xu Liuzong, the Qing Dao, it's you who are causing trouble!"
