Had You Laughed Enough?

BOOM! This purple bolt of lightning, carrying the majestic might of the heavens, arrived in an instant, crashing down toward Fei Luo.

Sizzle!

Charred smoke rose from the top of Fei Luo's head. The very first bolt alone caused him unbearable pain, leaving him feeling as though his skin and flesh were being torn asunder.

"?"

Hearing the words of the two underworld envoys, Fei Luo turned his head to look into the distance.

There, a powerful aura and a familiar aura were drifting toward them.

At this moment.

Both Phantom General and Lin Xiao were dumbstruck.

"A lightning tribulation? How could someone in the False Core Realm be undergoing a lightning tribulation?" Phantom General's face twisted, filled with terror.

"This..." Lin Xiao was equally bewildered.

What was going on?

A False Core Realm cultivator undergoing a lightning tribulation?

Neither of these ghosts had such experience, nor could they possibly understand the mysteries of the False Core Realm.

Phantom General was shaken to his core.

That majestic, heavenly lightning tribulation was all too familiar to him.

When his master, Azure Sky Ghost Venerable, broke through to the Ghost Venerable Realm, he had undergone a lightning tribulation.

But what was the deal with this human who was merely in the False Core Realm?

BOOM!

The second bolt of lightning followed immediately, illuminating the night sky. Fei Luo had already drawn the Flowing Cloud Sword.

"Wind Chaser!"

Fei Luo's sword traced an arc, powerful mana swirling around the blade as he slashed toward the purple lightning.

He had only wanted to test the power of the tribulation with that first bolt.

But now, with powerful enemies nearby, he could no longer afford to face the tribulation so leisurely.

"Phantom Ghost King, my young master is undergoing a lightning tribulation. I suggest you step aside, or we will not be so polite." One of the underworld soldiers felt the pressure mounting as he sensed the aura of Phantom Ghost King.

The other underworld envoy also drew his saber, stepping forward to hold the enemy at bay.

"Hehehehe!" Phantom Ghost King laughed toward the sky, his laughter piercing and bone-chilling.

"Undergoing a lightning tribulation? Is a lightning tribulation so easily survived? You are all going to die. To be able to kill two underworld envoys and a talented human—this trip has been worth it."

Before his words had even faded into the air, he had already moved.

Swish!

Like a phantom, his body merged into the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two underworld soldiers were horrified. Before they could even draw their sabers, it felt as if someone in the void had struck them with iron hammers. Both bodies were sent flying, their faces turning deathly pale.

One strike!

With just a single strike, Phantom Ghost King had severely wounded both underworld soldiers.

"What a cunning Ghost Wall!" one underworld soldier said, his face deathly pale and his voice incredibly weak.

"Hehehehe! Are you ready to die?" Phantom Ghost King's figure solidified, and he reached out a spectral claw toward one of the underworld soldiers.

"Slash!"

At that moment, the other underworld soldier leaped into the air. A brilliant flash of blade light cut across, aiming to slice Phantom Ghost King in half at the waist.

But this strike hit nothing but air.

Phantom Ghost King's body seemed to be a mass of mist; he had split into two before the blade reached him, perfectly dodging the attack.

This strike, however, caused Phantom Ghost King's assault to pause.

Seeing this, the suppressed underworld soldier performed a desperate roll backward to retreat.

BOOM!

On the hillside, Phantom Ghost King's attack landed, leaving a crater a dozen feet wide.

"Zhang Wu, thank you," the underworld soldier who had narrowly escaped death said, glancing at Fei Luo as he spoke.

"Don't mention it, be careful," the soldier called Zhang Wu grinned, also casting a glance at Fei Luo.

At that sight, both their eyes widened in shock.

Even Phantom Ghost King and the distant Lin Xiao were filled with utter horror.

In the scene before them.

The second thick bolt of tribulation lightning arrived, and Fei Luo met it head-on with a slash.

What a sword light that was!

Everyone felt as if the sword light were as dazzling as the stars, blooming into a sword flower in the void.

That's right, a sword flower.

The silver sword flower collided with the ferocious lightning, and a scene that defied physics unfolded: the lightning was instantly split into several strands, deflected far away by Fei Luo's blade.

"Hiss~"

Several gasps of cold air rang out.

The Phantom General, in particular, felt a sense of shock in his heart that had reached an indescribable level.

He had witnessed the Azure Sky Ghost Venerable undergo tribulation lightning, and it had been a brush with death.

But how could this young man before him be so relaxed and effortless?

Moreover, the scale of this tribulation lightning was in no way inferior to the scale of his master's tribulation!

"Boom!"

Immediately following, the lightning within the dark clouds in the sky seemed to grow angry, and the third bolt of tribulation lightning arrived in an instant.

"Lin Xiao, what are you dazing for? End this quickly; this kid is not right." The Phantom Ghost King's roar awakened Lin Xiao, as well as the two stunned Yin soldiers.

Just as Lin Xiao moved, the City God Li Ru appeared at his side. "How could I let you disturb Young Master Fei Luo while he undergoes his tribulation?"

"Haha, Phantom Ghost King, once my young master finishes his tribulation, it will be your death day!" The Yin messenger Zhang Wu laughed loudly.

"Come on, fight!" Another thin Yin messenger also spoke, shouting explosively.

At this moment, everyone's fighting spirit was soaring.

"Since you are seeking death, then this King shall grant your wish. Ghost Blinding Eyes!" The unease in the Phantom Ghost King's heart grew thicker; he did not want to drag this out any longer.

Whoosh~

As the Phantom Ghost King's voice fell, the area was filled with thick fog, reducing visibility to the extreme.

Yin messengers could see clearly even in the dead of night.

But the fog produced by these Ghost Blinding Eyes was ghost energy.

When a Supernatural Ghost reaches the Solid Core Realm, they possess all sorts of innate supernatural powers.

The Phantom Ghost King's ultimate skills were all based on illusions and confusion.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Several explosive sounds rang out in the fog. The two Yin soldiers, their auras withered to the extreme, were held high by the Phantom Ghost King, who gripped their necks tightly.

"Old thing, you dare to lay a hand on this young master with your level of cultivation?" Lin Xiao sneered repeatedly, stepping on the City God's face with disdain.

City God Li Ru was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and having overexerted himself today, he was at less than half his strength; how could he be a match for Lin Xiao?

Seeing the situation here, Fei Luo felt extremely anxious.

These people, regardless of everything, were connected to him and had even offered him guidance.

How could he stand by and watch them die?

"I'll risk it!"

The moment the third bolt of lightning descended, the edge of the Flowing Cloud Sword in Fei Luo's hand turned, and he stepped out with his Star-Plucking Steps.

Boom!

The lightning descended.

This was the third bolt of tribulation lightning, and also Fei Luo's final one.

The moment Fei Luo moved, the tribulation lightning swallowed him whole.

Everyone subconsciously looked toward Fei Luo, and even the Phantom Ghost King's hands, which were gripping the two men's necks, faltered slightly.

"Hahahaha!" Lin Xiao's laughter rang out.

Within the lightning, he could already see a faint, flickering skeleton.

"Young Master." The two Yin messengers cried out, their voices filled with despair.

Everyone saw that Fei Luo had taken the tribulation lightning head-on to save them.

With a mortal body, how could he withstand the tribulation lightning without using skills or techniques?

"Lin Xiao, have you laughed enough?" A faint voice rang out, causing the wildly laughing Lin Xiao's expression to freeze, his face wearing a look as if he had seen a ghost.

"What!!" The Phantom Ghost King also widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
