Beating Up a Senior
According to the description on the Ghoul Lord Token, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord was already a top powerhouse who was famous throughout the continent a thousand years ago.
An old fox who has lived for over a thousand years, his words and actions are full of arrogance.
It can only be said that this old man was truly enlightened, able to maintain his original mind even after a thousand years, which is an extremely rare thing.
Rumble! Thunder rumbled in the dark clouds.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down.
The dazzling white light made Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's face look as white as a ghost.
But Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord, brimming with confidence, curled his lip and said, "Heh! Boy, why aren't you making a move? Do you feel that my aura is too terrifying and have already instilled a sense of awe in you?"
It seems that Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord is not only arrogant, but also a bit narcissistic.
Yang Shan placed his hand on the hilt of the Blood Roar Blade.
Before the blade was even drawn, the power of the Tyrant Blade was already evident! Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, yes! That's the power! Kid, your power is excellent! Excellent!"
"Lei Xiu, you should be domineering!"
"Since that's the case, I'll show you what it's like when domineering reaches its extreme!"
"Drink it!"
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord roared, unleashing his Dou Qi qi, which scattered the surrounding sand and stones.
But Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord asked in surprise, "What's going on? Why am I so weak?"
Yang Shan almost burst out laughing.
Could this old senior really think he can unleash his full power in this Heart Demon Trial? [Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord] (Golden)
Rank: Four Star Dou Huang
Attribute: Thunder
Identity:??? Qi and Blood: 104500 Attack: 3799 Defense: 1000 Speed: 1080 Yang Shan consumed a perfect-quality Break Emperor Pill, which directly reduced the difficulty of the Heart Demon Trial by 20%.
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's stats were adjusted to show Four Star Dou Huang with Golden Word Seal.
And this panel has a reference with lettering and grade that are completely consistent with it.
Fifth on the Black-Corner Region's Black Ranking Fan Lao, the Blood Sect Master! Compared to Fan Lao, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's maximum Qi and Blood is 50,000 points lower, and his defense is 550 points lower.
However, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's base attack is 1,500 points higher than Fan Lao's! His speed is also nearly 300 points higher!
Just by looking at the panel, you can tell that Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord is truly an "aggressive player" who focuses on offense! No wonder he was able to create such an extreme technique as "Wrathful Thunder Mystic Skill), which has little increase in the upper limit of Dou Qi and no Dou Qi recovery at all, yet the Dou Qi Intensity is frighteningly high.
"Four Star Dou Huang Four Star Dou Huang it is."
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord proudly declared:
"Even if I am only One Star Dou Wang, it is enough for me to defeat you!"
Yang Shan didn't doubt these words too much.
At his peak, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord was most likely Dou Zun expert with Five-Colored Word Seal, and definitely not some two- or three-star "early Dou Zun".
It is very likely that he is a late-stage Dou Zun, or even a Dou Zun Peak.
The panel can be weakened, and even some overpowered Dou Technique may be disabled by the system.
However, practical experience will not be disabled!
If the trial fails, you have to wait five days to gain experience again, fill the experience bar, and then take the Heart Demon Trial again. This back-and-forth takes too much time.
This must pass!
Therefore, Yang Shan must proceed cautiously and steadily.
To maintain stability, Yang Shan needed to conceal his true intentions while probing out Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's methods.
Yang Shan held the Blade Sheath in his left hand and the hilt of the sword in his right, bending slightly forward as if to draw his sword.
In reality, he secretly flicked a Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning with his left hand, which was holding the Blade Sheath! The Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning was incredibly fast, but it seemed that Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord had already seen through Yang Shan's plan when Yang Shan made his move.
He sneered and casually sidestepped the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, narrowly avoiding it.
"You think you can test me with such rudimentary finger techniques?"
The "Flicking Finger Cloud Piercing Flicking Finger" technique has low energy consumption and high speed, making it an excellent means of probing in high-intensity combat.
However, Yang Shan had already categorized him as "Cheng E".
It's fine to use "Flicking Finger" occasionally.
After all, many finger-based Dou Technique are "fast-attack" techniques that can be released quickly.
But the person in front of him was a senior who had lived for over a thousand years and was at the Dou Zun level! Although he was old, he was not blind.
On the contrary, his eyesight is absolutely extraordinary! If we were to meet again in Central Plains in the future as "Cheng E", there would inevitably be a risk of being discovered.
Although his fingering technique might change by then, it's best not to use it just to be on the safe side.
Therefore, this "finger technique" is not the "Cloud Piercing Flicking Finger," but rather Yang Shan simply using 1 point of Dou Qi to generate Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning.
It is quite normal for Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord to ridicule him for being "shallow".
But Yang Shan didn't care.
The trump card of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord is completely unknown, and we must test him further.
Anyway, he has the Sea Heart Flame, which restores 5 points of Dou Qi per second.
It's practically zero cost! Yang Shan has never lacked patience.
But Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord is truly arrogant!
Ten Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning in a row, and he actually dodged them all! "Ten already! Kid, I'm getting a little impatient!"
A mocking expression appeared on Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's face. "Your test was too clumsy. I need to put some pressure on you! And incidentally, broaden your horizons!"
"I'll show you Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning thunder!"
Without a word, Yang Shan activated his Dou Qi Transformation Wings and was ready to unleash the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" at any moment! Through his previous conversations with Xiao Xun'er and the remnant soul, Yang Shan learned that the reason Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord didn't choose to refine the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning was not only because his lifespan was nearing its end, but also because of another, more important reason—
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord possesses even stronger strange lightning!
If Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord were in his prime, he would definitely try to refine the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, because he would have enough time to slowly nurture the origin of the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning.
Yang Shan had always been curious about what kind of strange lightning was in the hands of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord! After all, he only knew of three kinds of strange lightning in his past and present lives.
Besides the sixteenth Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning and the ninth Northern Falling Seven Star Thunder, there is also the eleventh "Ancient Abyss Lightning".
The owner of "Ancient Abyss Lightning" was "Yuan Hongquan," one of the Twelve Emperors in the previous life.
Aside from the Heavenly Flames, other Heaven and Earth Oddities and wondrous attributes will only appear on the list after players have subdued them.
Yang Shan was very curious about what exactly the strange thunder of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord was.
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord solemnly opened his palm and said in a deep voice:
"Boy, open your eyes wide and look carefully! This is the legendary Golden Qilin Mystic Lightning, ranked tenth on the Strange Lightning List! Drink!"
With Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's furious roar, extremely dazzling purple lightning burst forth from his palm.
Yang Shan was startled. "I didn't expect that what's called Golden Kirin is actually Purple Thunder. This Golden Qilin Mystic Lightning is indeed strange, hmm?"
Yang Shan suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Because the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning in his hand did not weaken in the slightest due to the appearance of the Golden Qilin Mystic Lightning.
Logically speaking, those ranked tenth to sixth on the Heaven and Earth Oddities Rankings should be a level above those ranked nineteenth to eleventh.
How could one not be afraid of Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning?
Yang Shan was a little confused.
But the Anger Lightning God was even more bewildered:
"How can this be a cheap Seventh Order beast lightning? Where's my Golden Qilin Mystic Lightning? Where's my Golden Qilin Mystic Lightning?! Kid! Where did you put my Golden Qilin Mystic Lightning?"
It would have been better if he hadn't made a move; once he did, the Anger Lightning Lord was even more horrified:
"Where's my Heaven Rank Cultivation Method? How come my Heaven Rank Cultivation Method, which I haven't even perfected yet, has been changed to the ' Extreme Lightning Mystic Classic '? Where's my Saint Lightning Hand Garment? Huh?"
The Dou Emperor still wants a Heaven Rank Cultivation Method?
Are the cultivation requirements for Heaven Rank Cultivation Method really that low?
That Saint Lightning Hand Garment —just hearing the name makes it sound like top-tier, incredibly powerful equipment! The more panicked Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord became, the wider Yang Shan's smile grew! That's it!
He had been frightened by Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's identity.
He only realized it now.
The Heart Demon Trial is a "threshold" set by Tian Yao Company to delay players' development, not to keep players out forever! Yang Shan's current "Peak Dou Wang" level is truly top-notch.
Yang Shan dared to guarantee that even the three "Three Sects" from his previous life— Su Yitang, Xiao Aotian, and Yi Qingyang —would have been far inferior to him in terms of overall configuration when they reached the Peak Dou Wang! In comparison, although the difficulty of this 2.0 Heart Demon Trial is high, the Heart Demon Trial is meant for players to "pass"!
For a player to fight against Four Star Dou Huang with Golden Word Seal while at the Peak Dou Wang is already an extremely difficult task.
Let's not even talk about the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord in front of us.
Even when Yang Shan had allies during the "Canaan Academy Disaster," he still couldn't defeat Fan Lao, the leader of the Blood Sect.
If it were Chao Bafang, and he were truly at the Peak Dou Wang level, Chao Bafang might be able to fight Fan Lao for three hundred rounds, but he wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat Fan Lao.
After all, Fan Lao was good at fighting and running away, and he also had Earth Tier Low Grade Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills and combat skills.
However, if Fan Lao were to encounter Yang Shan now, as long as Yang Shan is not in poor condition, even if Fan Lao exhausts all his strength, he would absolutely not be able to defeat Yang Shan.
There are only two possible outcomes for Fan Lao: either he escaped, or he didn't.
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord is now facing the same problem, which is that his abilities are limited to the "Golden Word Seal Four Star Dou Huang" panel! Therefore, the system has taken away Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's "Golden Qilin Mystic Lightning", his Heaven Rank Cultivation Method, and his weapon.
Otherwise, the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's Golden Word Seal; it would be five-colored, or even seven-colored!
"Boy, wait a minute. Let me get used to this body of mine first. Tch. It's truly frail and weak! What are you doing? You didn't even tell me before you attacked?"
"Speak? Why didn't you say anything? "Yang Shan's twenty magical beast friends roared, "Speak!" With Yang Shan's snap of his fingers, the twenty magical beast phantoms roared in unison.
Although Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's strength has been weakened to an estimated one percent of his peak strength.
But his insight remains sharp.
One glance was enough to see the origin of Yang Shan's move!
"Earth-Rank Sonic Dou Skills!"
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord shouted, "Lightning Soul Protection!"
However, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's shouts came to nothing.
The sonic wave, which carried a soul attack, instantly covered a radius of two hundred meters around Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord.
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord finally managed to escape the range of the sound waves, but felt dizzy. "I can't even use the Lightning Soul Protection, and my soul, which was at the Spirit Realm Perfect Stage, has been reduced to a pitiful Spirit Realm Early Stage!"
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord was completely numb.
However, Yang Shan did not give Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord much time to prepare.
With a flap of its Scarlet Wings, it circled around to the back of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord.
With Drawing Sword Flash, Yang Shan's swordsmanship is at its essence.
The knife was aimed directly at the throat, and it even held back a bit of its force.
No matter what Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord did in an attempt to evade, Yang Shan could always exert force a second time and change the trajectory of his sword strike.
But Yang Shan's determined strike missed its mark! Only a flash of purple light appeared before his eyes.
The terrifying aura emanating from behind made Yang Shan frown.
"Boy, do you really think I'm incompetent?"
However, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's fist, which was covered in thunderous Dou Qi, also only hit air.
"Trying to escape? I won't allow it!"
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord loosened his fist and spread his five fingers, the thunderous Dou Qi in his hand actually condensed into a dragon claw, and attacked Yang Shan in the distance.
Although "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" is powerful, its speed is too fast, which means that it can only make simple route changes during movement, and the duration is only 1.5 seconds.
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord saw through Yang Shan's "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" and determined where it would land after its duration.
The dragon claw was firmly locked onto Yang Shan's calf.
"Hey! Nobody knows ' Three Thousand Thunder Movement ' better than me! Watch me twist your hair into a pretzel!"
Just as Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord was about to unleash the full power of the dragon claw, he discovered that the dragon claw was instantly enveloped by Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning.
It was completely swallowed up in no time.
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord: "."
The Heaven and Earth Oddities, and for cultivators of the same element, the restraint is truly too severe.
The thunderous Dou Qi used by Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord is far superior to the thunderous Dou Qi cultivated in the "Wrathful Thunder Mystic Skill".
However, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord used Seventh Order beast thunder.
Once Yang Shan used the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, the Seventh Order beast lightning immediately weakened!
So far, only three players across the entire server have obtained the Heaven and Earth Oddities".
If even players with Heaven and Earth Oddities can't break through to the Dou Emperor, then other players are even less likely to succeed.
Therefore! "The advantage lies with me!"
At this moment, Yang Shan's confidence reached its peak.
Although he is only at the Peak Dou Wang, his actual combat strength is comparable to that of the Five-Colored Word Seal!
The Five-Colored Word Seal is a natural "superior panel"! "The Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls" reduces the panel attributes of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord by 20% for three minutes.
In those three minutes, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord was at most a "purple" level.
Isn't this a classic case of an "experience monster"? Yang Shan has to consider whether this is his only chance in several versions of the game.
"Beat up the old master Dou Zun! "Yang Shan spread his hands, unleashing lightning on his left and fire on his right!
Seeing the Deep Blue Flame erupting from Yang Shan's right hand, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord gaped and uttered only one word:
"Ah?"
No!
What's going on? "Kid, what exactly are you up to? I, Lei Zhanghao, haven't even managed to collect two kinds of strange lightning, and you, on the other hand, not only have strange lightning, but you're also playing with Heavenly Flames?"
Yang Shan answered with Overload! The explosion, covering an area of 100 meters, completely stunned Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord.
Because his panel was weakened, his speed dropped significantly, and he was unable to escape the blast radius in time.
His Dou Qi Armor had visibly dimmed considerably.
"So powerful? I didn't expect this kid to have such a powerful move besides Sonic Dou Skills! Hmm?"
Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord saw that Yang Shan had once again unleashed the Sea Heart Flame and the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning.
Thanks to Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord shifting his position, Yang Shan was able to quickly unleash the second Overload!
Then came the third and the fourth time!
Completely dazed and disheveled from the explosion, the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord cursed, "Is this how you unleash a damn ultimate move?"
