Whoosh!!
A meteor streaked across the sky, its radiance illuminating the Eastern Hemisphere. Beneath that pure, endless white brilliance, all darkness vanished without a trace.
The Lightning Pierce Cannon—or Lightning Pierce Gun... Just as its name implied, Ron did not perform any complicated maneuvers. He simply concentrated the power within his body into a range two fingers wide and fired it.
Because that was enough...
Whoosh!
Above the ocean, Imu and Shi Ji instantly turned around and stared at the dazzling lightning spear, their faces pale.
"Th-That power is terrifying!"
That destructive force, mighty as heavenly wrath, caused the ocean beneath their feet to collapse into a basin from more than a thousand meters away. Countless marine creatures silently disintegrated into the most basic particles.
At the same time, its speed was beyond description.
The Lightning Pierce Cannon was unquestionably the fastest-activating attack among all of Ron's techniques, let alone in his current state.
In the brief instant it took them to turn around, the lightning spear pierced straight through Shi Ji's right chest. Its momentum undiminished, it then pierced Imu—who had reformed ten meters behind him—from forehead to back. It continued forward, burrowing into Mountain Ancestor's abdomen as it lay sprawled on its back, not yet able to rise, and finally burst through the shell atop its head, which shimmered with fluorescent light.
This was the opportunity Ron had been waiting for: for them to line up on the same straight path, with the smallest possible distance between them.
Not a single fragment flew out. The wounds pierced through by the lightning spear glowed fiery red, open from front to back.
"Urgh!!"
Shi Ji grunted and flew straight backward, only to be caught by Rayleigh nearby.
The other two, however, were not so fortunate.
Imu's astonished expression remained frozen
