"Boom!" A mushroom cloud erupted directly over the West Gate of Ye City.
"...Ma Chao is getting stronger," Chen Xi said, even as he shielded his face with his sleeve from the wind and sand; his fragile body couldn't withstand the impact and he almost toppled over.
"This guy's probably here to pick a fight," Fa Zheng said with slight headache. "I wonder if General Zhang is okay."
"He's fine, not just fine, but couldn't be better," Zhao Yun appeared behind Fa Zheng, saying, "Meng Qi's attack didn't break through his defense at all."
As the dust settled, Zhang Fei still stood in the same spot. Despite Ma Chao's control, the fierce explosion created a massive droplet-shaped crater tens of meters in diameter, with the scorching lightning even transforming parts of the earth into pottery.
Yet, Zhang Fei, placed at the core of Ma Chao's attack, seemed completely unaffected, with electric sparks erupting all over his body, leaving no mark on him even as the shattered lightning struck.
