"Pfft!"
Amid the blinding lightning, Yu Canghai spat out another mouthful of blood!
"Whoosh!"
The next second, a bolt of lightning crashed down. Yu Canghai could no longer hold on and staggered to the ground!
"Master!" Wen Tailai cried out, hurriedly turning to Chen Zheng. "Senior Chen, please help my master!"
An Jing and Su Cheng also turned to Chen Zheng. At this point, only Chen Zheng could help Great Grandmaster Yu Canghai. If they went up there, they would certainly be struck down in an instant.
They all knew Heavenly Tribulations were terrifying, but only when one actually descended did they realize it was far more terrifying than they had imagined!
Yu Canghai!
An Ancient Martial Grandmaster of China, universally acknowledged as the strongest in China's Ancient Martial Arts world, whose cultivation had already made a breakthrough after he emerged from seclusion-yet even he could not withstand the Heavenly Tribulation!
"Actually, the power of this Heavenly Tribulation is quite ordinary." Chen Zheng spoke, then thought briefly before continuing, "The moment I intervene, the Heavenly Tribulation will cease to function, and naturally, his Tribulation Transcendence will fail. But I think he can hold out a little longer. Even if he fails, he can gain some experience and prepare for his next Tribulation Transcendence."
The Heavenly Tribulation Yu Canghai had drawn down looked terrifying, but its actual range was limited to the few meters around him in the front garden of Sister Su's villa. In Chen Zheng's eyes, a Heavenly Tribulation of this degree belonged to the lowest tier.
Besides, with something like a Heavenly Tribulation, an ordinary person stepping in to help would usually not affect the person's Tribulation Transcendence. But he was different. The moment he intervened, the Heavenly Tribulation would definitely cease to function!
This had been proven many times over the years gone by!
"Whoosh!"
Just then, another bolt of lightning crashed down!
"Thud!"
Even Yu Canghai's body could no longer hold out. That bolt of lightning blasted him straight to the ground!
"Senior Chen!"
Horrified, Wen Tailai could only call out to Chen Zheng, hoping he would intervene!
"Chen Zheng, Great Grandmaster Yu Canghai really can't take any more. You should... you should step in!"
A trace of horror flashed through An Jing's eyes as she spoke.
"How terrifying! Good thing I'm not Chinese. I don't have to go through anything like this!"
Catherine was frightened too. She felt that these bolts of lightning were even more terrifying than the archbishop's holy light. Even her Uncle William might not be able to withstand the lightning of China!
"Chen Zheng..."
Su Cheng could not help calling out to Chen Zheng as well.
As for Su Ziming and the Su Family servants standing nearby, they were already too frightened to speak.
"All right."
Chen Zheng nodded and walked toward the garden.
"You... be careful!"
An Jing could not help reminding him.
"Boom!"
An Jing had only just spoken when another tremendous thunderclap erupted above the Su Family villa!
"My God! China is so terrifying!"
Catherine could not help screaming. She felt as though that tremendous thunderclap had stunned even her soul!
"Whoosh!"
At that very moment, another bolt of lightning crashed down, its target Yu Canghai, who was already kneeling on one knee! And at that very moment, Chen Zheng had already entered the garden and walked in front of Yu Canghai!
In other words, Chen Zheng was also within the range of that descending bolt!
"Boom!"
Under everyone's horrified gazes, the lightning crashed down!
"Huh?"
The next moment came cries of astonishment!
Because they saw Chen Zheng casually swing his palm, and that incomparably terrifying bolt of descending lightning vanished with a whoosh!
Yes!
Gone!
A single slap had swatted the lightning out of existence!
This...
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The heavens seemed to have grown furious. Lightning surged above the Su Family villa, as though warning Chen Zheng not to interfere, or even more terrifying lightning would come crashing down!
Whoosh!
The very next second, three bolts of lightning crashed down!
This time, their target was not Yu Canghai. This time, their target was Chen Zheng!
"Watch out!"
"Chen Zheng!"
"Master!"
The three women cried out!
"Senior!"
Wen Tailai's face was also filled with terror!
This time, it was not one bolt of lightning, but three, and each looked thicker than those that had struck before!
"I forgot. At this point in time, Earth's Heavenly Dao probably doesn't know me." Chen Zheng raised his head and looked at the three descending bolts. With a faint smile, he blew a breath toward them.
"Whoosh!"
The three bolts of lightning instantly shattered and vanished!
"What!"
At the sight, Wen Tailai was completely dumbstruck!
An Jing, Su Cheng, and Catherine were stunned too!
Just now!
Just now, Chen Zheng seemed... seemed to have merely blown a breath toward those three bolts of lightning, and they had vanished? This... what kind of martial art was this? Wasn't this a little too fantastical?!
Chen Zheng had only blown a gentle breath just now!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Above the Su Family villa, thunderclouds churned, one tremendous thunderclap following another. There seemed to be something within those clouds, looking down at the Su Family villa's garden from several thousand meters in the sky, staring at Chen Zheng!
"Want to keep going?"
Seeing the rolling thunderclouds, Chen Zheng chuckled.
"Boom!"
The thunderclouds in the sky answered with a thunderclap, but after that clap, the clouds actually dispersed on their own!
Peace returned to Nan City's night sky!
"Thank you for intervening and helping this junior with his Tribulation Transcendence, Senior!"
Yu Canghai climbed to his feet, his body mottled with blood. Cupping his fists, he bowed deeply to Chen Zheng with the utmost respect.
"You're rather lucky. Earth's Heavenly Dao doesn't know me, so you can count this tribulation as halfway crossed. Although you didn't cross it completely, your strength should increase considerably. Next time, once you've undergone the baptism of a complete Heavenly Tribulation on your own, you'll reach what the Ancient Martial Arts world calls the Terrestrial Immortal Realm."
Chen Zheng glanced at Yu Canghai. Although Yu Canghai looked deathly pale, as though severely injured, he had, after all, crossed half a tribulation. His physical body had already begun transforming. It would not take long for him to recover completely, and his cultivation would certainly soar within a short time.
Only after Tribulation Transcendence did a cultivator truly begin to transform and truly enter the gates of cultivation. In Earth's Chinese Ancient Martial Arts world, this realm was called the Terrestrial Immortal Realm. It was called that because True Qi transformed into True Essence, allowing one to begin commanding vast quantities of the world's primordial qi and unleash Dao arts, secret techniques, and the like that were ten or a hundred times more terrifying than ordinary martial arts.
In Yu Canghai's current state, his physical body had already begun transforming, but to shed his mortal nature completely, he still needed to undergo the full baptism of a Heavenly Tribulation on his own.
"This junior has learned from your guidance!"
Yu Canghai nodded emphatically and bowed to Chen Zheng again.
He was very excited now. He even had an urge to throw himself at Chen Zheng's feet, cling to his leg, and weep, but he held himself back! His breakthrough and his crossing of this tribulation had all been bestowed upon him by Chen Zheng!
Should Chen Zheng give the command, I, Yu Canghai, would not shrink back even at the cost of ten thousand deaths!
Yu Canghai secretly swore this in his heart.
"..."
But at that moment, inside the villa's main hall, everyone, whether An Jing, Su Cheng, and Catherine, or Su Ziming, Wen Tailai, and the others, wore blank expressions, each in a state of utter shock!
Every one of them had been left dumbstruck!
Everything they had just witnessed felt unreal, utterly unreal!
