The Purple-Green Tusita Divine Thunder Shi Sheng summoned split into Purple Thunder and Green Thunder: one was Purple Firmament Thunder, the other Green Firmament Thunder. The two alternated in an unbroken chain, blasting A Tong into a violet-and-green ball of lightning. Outside it burned the Five-Element Spirit Flame formed from the sword qi that had disintegrated earlier. Thunder and fire twisted together, grinding against each other and growing ever fiercer.
Shi Sheng had devised this move himself. Years ago, Shi Feiyang had taught him the Purple Ying Immortal Scripture, which contained the purple-and-green thunder arts. After mastering them, he had unexpectedly discovered that they paired exceptionally well with his own spirit-stone true fire and Five-Element Spirit Flame.
Although A Tong had already cultivated a purple-gold Golden Body, he could not hold out for long against the relentless bombardment of thunder and fire.
