The attack struck their opponent's chest, and both Deer Staff Guest and Crane Brush Master were forced back.
puff!
They spat out a mouthful of blood, and the murderous intent in their hearts subsided, their rationality returning.
"What happened? Why did this happen?"
Deer Staff Guest's face was filled with Shocker. He remembered everything that had happened clearly, but the more he remembered, the less he could believe it.
Although Zhao Min's disappearance is of great importance, given their relationship, this situation would never happen.
unless...
Unless someone tampered with it!
"Who? Who is it?"
Crane Brush Master shouted angrily, but no one responded to him.
At the same time, a loud explosion rang out from the sky, and the clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, and the sky darkened.
An overwhelming pressure seemed to appear out of nowhere, enveloping the entire area within a hundred miles. Even Golden Core Stage experts like the Xuanming Elders felt a bit breathless.
"What's going on? What did you send?"
Deer Staff Guest was filled with Shocker; this scene, which seemed to be an act of divine wrath, was beyond his comprehension.
The laws of the Fragment World are incomplete, making it much easier for them to break through from the Innate Stage to the Golden Core Stage compared to the Main World.
There's no need to undergo Lightning Tribulation or overcome inner demons; as long as you have enough power, you can condense Golden Core within your body.
However, their Golden Core can only be considered fake; Xu Long's, who had been struck by lightning, possessed a true golden core.
There are gains and losses. It is easier for experts in the Fragment World to advance, but they are much worse than someone like Xu Long among those of the same level.
Once Xu Long advances to the Golden Core Stage stage, he will be qualified to compete with true masters, instead of being as timid and hesitant as he is now.
Rumble!
Lightning flashed, and dark clouds covered the sky.
Thick clouds pressed down relentlessly, making the entire world seem smaller.
"You have connections!"
Crane Brush Master cried out in surprise. He saw something floating in the sky, which looked like a person.
"After waiting for so long, it's finally about to begin."
Xu Long stared at the tribulation clouds above, his face expressionless.
The path of Martial Cultivation is the true path of combat, a lineage that allows one to defy the heavens and slay immortals with a mortal body.
In the world of martial arts, martial prowess reigns supreme!
The power of a mortal can slay immortals and gods!
Such terrifying power is bound to incur the wrath of the heavens.
Starting from the Golden Core Stage, each breakthrough would attract Lightning Tribulation, until he was struck dead.
[Defeat the Fireworker Monk! Obtain the treasure chest "Nine Suns"!]
A notification sound suddenly rang out, startling Xu Long.
After all this trouble, that Fireworker Monk is finally dead.
Just as Xu Long had predicted, the Fireworker Monk used to be a Golden Core Stage expert, but he was no longer one.
His strength has declined so drastically that he has fallen below the Golden Core Stage, yet he is still far beyond the Innate Stage.
But there's no time to think about that now; getting through the Lightning Tribulation is the most important thing.
"It's that person! It must be that person!"
Crane Brush Master's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He was now absolutely certain that Xu Long was the one plotting against them.
Unfortunately, both of them were seriously injured and locked onto by the Lightning Tribulation, leaving them nowhere to escape.
And let alone escape, they couldn't even attack Xu Long.
boom!
Click!
A blinding white bolt of lightning struck down, shooting towards Xu Long and the Xuanming Elders.
Lightning moves incredibly fast; it arrived in front of him the instant it reappeared.
There is no way to avoid the Lightning Tribulation; you can only block it or take it head-on.
This is a test sent down by Heavenly Dao. If you pass it, you can advance to the Golden Core Stage; if you fail, you will be reduced to ashes.
The lightning struck him, causing Xu Long to tremble uncontrollably.
His physical body is extremely strong, and he also possesses the Power of Extreme Yang, Absolute Yin, so this kind of damage is nothing to him.
He didn't care, but the Xuanming Elders were starting to feel the strain.
His physical body was already mediocre, and he had been injured before. When the lightning entered his body, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Cough cough, I never thought we two old brothers would die here."
Crane Brush Master coughed twice, his heart filled with raging anger, but he was too badly injured and could only watch Xu Long in the sky with helpless fury.
"Damn it! Who is he? Why is he trying to harm us?"
Deer Staff Guest was filled with resentment and his anger was hard to quell, but like Crane Brush Master, he was also seriously injured.
If Xu Long dares to get close, they will fight to the death, and even if they can't kill him, they won't let Xu Long get away with it.
But Xu Long never intended to get any closer and continued to be struck by lightning from the sky.
The two elders of Xuanming Elders were furious. One bolt of lightning after another struck down, causing their bodies to convulse violently and their minds to become chaotic.
His remaining shred of reason was filled with resentment and murderous intent, but he didn't consider why a person could fly in the sky.
Rumble!
Click!
Another bolt of lightning struck, hitting Deer Staff Guest squarely on the forehead and blowing his skull off.
This the Storm Riders for decades, died without any power to resist.
No! You can't die! You can't die!
Crane Brush Master cried out, trying to embrace Deer Staff Guest's corpse, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't control his body.
All they could do was scream in agony while waiting for death to come.
Rumble!
Click!
Thunder roared and lightning flashed, and serpents danced in the air.
The real crisis only began when the Xuanming Elders were killed.
[Defeat the Deer Staff Guest! Obtain the Treasure Chest - Mystic!]
[Defeat Crane Brush Master! Obtain Treasure Chest - Netherworld!]
A notification sounded in his mind, Xu Long slowly landed, taking out a fist-sized sphere from his storage space and throwing it on the ground.
Buzz!
A buzzing sound rang out, and a transparent shield enveloped his entire body.
This is a miniature energy shield that can withstand external damage for a very short time.
While it's impossible to withstand the Lightning Tribulation, weakening it to some extent is still achievable.
boom!
The fourth bolt of lightning struck, and the energy shield shattered in less than two seconds.
It's not that the energy shield technology is inadequate, but rather that there isn't enough energy to support it.
If several super-large reactors were built nearby, Xu Long was confident that he could survive the calamity unscathed.
As the lightning struck his body, Xu Long trembled uncontrollably.
His clothes vaporized completely, and his beard and eyebrows disappeared as well.
Dark clouds loomed overhead, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a naked man looked up at the sky, creating an extremely eerie scene.
"Oops!"
Zhao Min, who was hiding in the distance, moved her binoculars away, her face as red as a monkey's bottom.
This was given to her by Xu Long, so she could see how the Xuanming Elders would die.
But at this moment, it became a tool for Zhao Min to spy.
"What a long one... Ugh, what am I saying..."
Zhao Min muttered to herself, but couldn't resist taking a look.
It wasn't about being dissolute, nor was it out of curiosity; I simply wanted to see.
After all, she didn't own one, and looking at it wasn't illegal.
Rumble!
One bolt of lightning after another struck Xu Long with unerring accuracy.
Although his physical body was extremely powerful, he was still injured under the test of Heavenly Dao.
The top of his head was charred black and smelled burnt.
The skull was covered in cracks, as if it would crumble at the slightest touch.
