Chapter 127: The Day the World Stood Still
Trevor, who had been holding off Zhao’s soldiers to prevent them from invading the hills where the assassins had established their villages, was still in position.
When he heard that Jun had left after the last group of assassins, he ordered a retreat, encircling the hills from the other side to create a distraction.
It would have been perfect—a brilliant plan—if Zhao hadn’t sent their entire army, a hundred thousand soldiers. Suffice it to say, the invasion of Qin was imminent, and Zhao’s first move was to eliminate the one who killed the Martial Arts God: Jun, the Black Moon of the Asura Clan.
They had evaded them at great cost, but when everything had gone according to plan, they realized that a group had secretly followed Jun—not just from one direction, but from every possible flank where they might escape.
That was why Verá held out, waiting until everyone had safely passed to blow up the mountains and all the known paths Zhao could use to pursue them.
With Zhao’s soldiers neutralized, they now had to finish off the assassins who had been tracking Jun since he left the base.
…
"The explosions will start..."
The catastrophe began with an earthquake that shook the entire border between Wei and Zhao.
Boom!
Rather than calling it an earthquake, it would be more accurate to describe the phenomenon as if the entire world were resonating. When the tremor hit, everyone in the forest who had been locked in battle froze.
It was only natural.
No one was foolish enough to dismiss the tremor that echoed throughout the area as a simple earth shake.
Once again.
Boom!
The earthquake echoed.
The wind stopped blowing.
The forest was shrouded in silence.
Jun stood there, speechless. His whole body froze at the tremors.
He had never felt such an overwhelming pressure in his life, neither in the past nor in the present. Just as a feeling of confusion began to consume Jun, another phenomenon unfolded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
This time, a much stronger tremor was heard.
Shortly after, a scene unfolded that captured everyone in the forest, including Jun, and sparked a sense of threat deep within him.
Boom!
In the distance, at the farthest point of Jun’s gaze.
'The mountain…'
A vast mountain range located at the edge of the forest where the battle was raging had exploded at numerous points, causing a landslide. It wasn’t a metaphor. The mountain range itself was beginning to rise.
Boom!
The mountain lifted and shook.
Gradually, the mountain range began to split in half, even affecting the area where Jun was watching his shadows clash with the assassins.
Jun’s vision darkened under the immense shadow of the explosion. It was so massive that it was hard to gauge the distance separating them.
Only just emerging from his thoughts in response to the catastrophe unfolding before his eyes, a series of questions raced through Jun’s mind.
Was it a good idea to use the gunpowder?
As his thoughts continued in a dazed trail, an existence he could only refer to as "a catastrophe" crossed Jun’s mind.
At that same moment, the shadows cut through the ranks of assassins, and within minutes, they were all killed without resistance.
As simple as that, the battle that no one in the world would know about was fought. No one except those who were there.

I'm planning the next part of the novel and the areas where it will be written, make recommendations or things you want to see in the next chapters. Sorry for the short chapter.
