Tang San Gets Struck by Lightning, Ma Hongjun in Danger
Lin Qing and Xiao Wu didn't rush to find any Soul Beast; they simply strolled leisurely through the forest, as if taking a leisurely walk.
Xiao Wu skipped and hopped ahead, occasionally picking a wildflower from the roadside.
Turning back to Lin Qingmo, she said, "A-Qing, if we just wander around like this, how are we going to explain this to Teacher Er Long when we get back?"
"What's so hard to explain?"
Lin Qingmo followed behind her, his fingertips brushing against the Blue Silver Grass beside him, constantly keeping an eye on the surrounding movements.
"Just say you've found a suitable Soul Beast; after all, you didn't need to hunt Soul Beast in the first place."
"Too."
Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue, ran to his side, and swung her arm around his.
The two strolled leisurely through the forest, chatting as they went, showing no sign of looking for Soul Beast.
They walked for about an hour and a half.
As the two passed through a valley, they suddenly heard voices and the aura of Soul Power coming from ahead.
"Wait."
Lin Qingmo paused, raised his hand to pull Xiao Wu back, and made a shushing gesture.
Xiao Wu immediately shut her mouth, her smile vanished, and she looked warily in the direction from which the sound came.
Lin Qingmo Xiao Wu along and quietly hid behind a thick, large tree nearby.
He poked half his head out and looked into the valley.
Several people were standing in the valley.
The leader was a man wearing glasses, Spirit Emperor Qin Ming.
Behind him were Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Yu Tianheng, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Osler.
There were seven people in total.
They were standing in the middle of the valley, looking nervously at Ma Hongjun, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Ma Hongjun had his eyes closed, and two Spirit Ring, one yellow and one yellow, were shining on his body as he absorbed a purple Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.
His face turned bright red, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his body twitched from time to time.
Clearly, Ma Hongjun's process of absorbing the Spirit Ring was not easy.
Wow, I didn't expect to run into you here.
Lin Qingmo's gaze fell on Tang San.
His aura was still only at level 30 or so.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Lin Qingmo.
Without the Immortal Herb, and without Tang Hao paving the way for him, Tang San would be nothing more than this.
In the original novel, Tang San used the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Immortal Herb to make the Shrek Seven Devils' strength advance by leaps and bounds.
He himself quickly broke through to the Soul Ancestor.
Now, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Immortal Herb is entirely under his control.
Tang San gained nothing, so naturally he didn't have the same glory as in the original story.
Lin Qingmo narrowed his eyes, already having made up his mind.
He turned to Xiao Wu beside him and said softly, "Xiao Wu, go wait for me in the woods ahead. Don't go too far, I'll be right there."
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment.
Looking at Tang San and his group in the valley, and then at Lin Qingmo, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
"A-Qing, what are you doing? There are too many of them, and one of them is a Spirit Emperor. Don't do anything rash!"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Lin Qingmo smiled and ruffled her hair.
"I won't confront them directly; I'll just cause them some minor trouble."
"Go hide over there and don't let them find you."
Xiao Wu was still a little worried.
But she knew Lin Qingmo's capabilities and that he wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure of.
"Then be careful. If anything happens, I'll come right away to help you."
Xiao Wu quickly slipped into the nearby dense forest and hid behind a large tree in the distance, keeping a close watch on any movement.
Watching Xiao Wu walk away, Lin Qingmo withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to Tang San in the valley.
With a slight flick of his fingertips, pale blue Soul Power quietly surged forth.
The slender Blue Silver Grass spread out from the ground beneath his feet, silently extending into the valley.
This Blue Silver Grass vine was as thin as a hair, completely integrated into the soil underground.
Even Qin Ming, at the Spirit Emperor level, couldn't detect it at all.
The Blue Silver Grass vines stretched all the way, finally stopping at Tang San's feet in the ground.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Lin Qingmo.
He subtly infused a wisp of Thunder Soul Power into his fingertips, merging it into the Blue Silver Grass.
This Thunder Soul Power comes from his Fourth Spirit Ring, the Thunderous Hell Vine.
But most importantly, its lightning can attract lightning.
Even Tang San is no match for the Thunder strike from the sky.
However, Lin Qingmo did not make a move immediately.
He was waiting, waiting for the crucial moment when Ma Hongjun absorbed the Spirit Ring.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Ma Hongjun's Soul Power fluctuations became increasingly intense, his face grew redder and redder, and the veins on his forehead bulged out.
Half of the purple Spirit Ring on his body has already merged into his body.
This is the most crucial and undisturbed moment for absorbing the Spirit Ring.
'Now!'
Lin Qingmo's eyes turned cold, and his Soul Power surged into the Blue Silver Grass.
The Blue Silver Grass hidden beneath Tang San's feet instantly unleashed its Thunder Soul Power.
A loud "boom" was heard.
A bolt of azure Thunder suddenly erupted from the ground.
"Snap!"
At the same moment, thunder roared in the sky!
The Thunder that were summoned descended from the sky, striking directly at Tang San.
"What?!"
Tang San's expression suddenly changed.
He never expected that a bolt of Thunder would suddenly strike him.
He didn't even have time to react.
He could only subconsciously release his Blue Silver Grass to form a barrier in front of him.
"Blue Silver Grass, Entanglement!"
Tang San shouted, and countless Blue Silver Grass surged from his palms, forming a thick wall in front of him.
However, how could his ordinary Blue Silver Grass possibly withstand the Thunder emanating from the Thunderous Hell Vine?
There was a crisp "snap" sound.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass barrier was shattered by Thunder in the blink of an eye.
The remaining Thunder power struck Tang San without any hindrance.
"Ah!!!"
Tang San let out a shrill, painful scream.
He was struck by Thunder and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
From a distance, Tang San looked charred black, with his hair standing on end, resembling a standard afro.
His whole body was convulsing, his Soul Power was completely disordered, and he was paralyzed.
The loud explosion echoed through the valley.
Ma Hongjun, who was absorbing the Spirit Ring, was startled by the sudden and huge commotion, which made him tremble all over.
His Soul Power instantly became chaotic. Although he successfully absorbed the Spirit Ring, the Evil Fire stirred up by his Soul Power suddenly went berserk.
Ma Hongjun's face turned deathly pale instantly.
"Pfft!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Evil Fire within him burst forth uncontrollably.
Crimson flames instantly engulfed his entire body, burning his clothes to ashes.
"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts so much!"
Ma Hongjun rolled wildly on the ground, letting out a shrill scream.
The flames on his body grew stronger and stronger, and he became a human torch.
"Tang San!"
"Hongjun!"
Qin Ming's expression changed drastically upon realizing what was happening.
He shouted and rushed towards Ma Hongjun without thinking.
His six Spirit Ring lit up instantly, and his Soul Power surged out from his body, covering Ma Hongjun in an attempt to help him suppress the rampaging Evil Fire and Spirit Ring energy.
"Don't just stand there! Come and help!"
Qin Ming shouted without turning his head.
Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and the others then realized what was happening and rushed over, releasing their Soul Power to help Qin Ming suppress the rampaging Evil Fire on Ma Hongjun's body.
Only Oscar stood there watching Tang San, charred black from being struck by lightning, lying on the ground convulsing.
He called out in a mocking tone, "I'm going to check on Tang San."
Then he slowly walked towards Tang San.
A hint of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes, and a sarcastic smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Tang San's miserable state strangely gave him a sense of satisfaction.
