How could this be?
Zhou Meng, standing beside Li Wuji, a man known for his bravery and whose muscles bulged like small mountains, was also speechless with shock, his thick arms hanging limply at his sides. His eyes were fixed on the battlefield, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed hard.
The scene before them was beyond their wildest imagination.
At this moment, Li Wuji and his group stood there dumbfounded, forgetting to breathe and forgetting the purpose of their trip. Their minds and eyes were filled only with the breathtaking battle between Yu Tianheng and Lightning Radiance Mad Lion. This scene was destined to become a shocking memory that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
On the battlefield, Yu Tianheng held the Purple Lightning Spear, his body surging with blue-purple lightning power, confronting the Lightning Radiance Mad Lion. The Lightning Radiance Mad Lion was enormous, its mane like burning flames, and its roar stirred up a bloody wind.
The battle erupted again. Yu Tianheng charged towards Lightning Radiance Mad Lion like Gui Mei, his Purple Lightning Spear flashing with blinding lightning, its shadows overlapping, the tip aimed straight for the Kuang Shi's vitals. Lightning Radiance Mad Lion was equally unyielding, its sharp claws tearing through the air, colliding with the Purple Lightning Spear to create intense sparks and a piercing sound.
In the heat of battle, Lightning Radiance Mad Lion, spotted an opening and slammed his claw into the Purple Lightning Spear. The powerful force sent the Purple Lightning Spear flying, arcing through the air before embedding itself deep into the ground some distance away.
Even without the Purple Lightning Spear, Yu Tianheng showed no fear. He took a deep breath and continued fighting the Lightning Radiance Mad Lion with his bare hands. His hands rapidly transformed into dragon claws radiating blue light, charging towards the Lion with unstoppable momentum.
This is one of the secret techniques of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan: " Dragon Transformation ".
Yu Tianheng can now transform his hands into dragon claws, greatly increasing his combat power!
Yu Tianheng, now transformed into Dragon Transformation, clenched his fists. In the next instant, his attacks rained down like a storm, hundreds upon hundreds of blows aimed directly at Lightning Radiance Mad Lion's head. Each punch carried terrifying force, the wind howling and the air compressed into sharp blades of energy. Lightning Radiance Mad Lion was forced to retreat repeatedly by this storm of attacks, bloodstains constantly appearing on his body.
Yu Tianheng gave Lightning Radiance Mad Lion no chance to catch his breath, roaring as power surged from his body, each punch weighing more than Qian Jun. Lightning Radiance Mad Lion gradually could not withstand the onslaught, and his massive body began to sway.
In the end, Lightning Radiance Mad Lion collapsed to the ground under Yu Tianheng's relentless attacks, dying instantly. Yu Tianheng stood there, his chest heaving violently, his clothes soaked with sweat, but his eyes were filled with the light of victory.
As Lightning Radiance Mad Lion collapsed to the ground, Yu Tianheng raised his hand and grabbed the Purple Lightning Spear that had been blasted away earlier, which quickly returned to Yu Tianheng's hand.
To prevent Lightning Radiance Mad Lion from feigning death, Yu Tianheng held the gun with both hands and thrust it out again, piercing Lightning Radiance Mad Lion's forehead.
Blood gushed out.
This time, Lightning Radiance Mad Lion was utterly and irrevocably dead.
Not long after, a black, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly rose from the corpse of the Lightning Radiance Mad Lion.
"Congratulations, host, on slaying the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Lightning Radiance Mad Lion. Reward: 1,000 Heavenly Mandate Points."
The system sent a notification sound.
Yu Tianheng remained unmoved, glancing at the Soul Ring. Instead of absorbing it on the spot, he brandished his Purple Lightning Spear and shouted at a nearby thicket, "Have you seen enough? If so, get out here!"
Seeing no response, Yu Tianheng snorted coldly and raised his hand to thrust out a spear beam.
With a loud "boom".
A tree as thick as a water bucket near the bushes was blasted to pieces, accompanied by Yu Tianheng's warning. "If you don't come out now, don't blame me for using my full strength!"
Li Wuji inwardly cried out in alarm. He exchanged a glance with his companion and gave a helpless bitter smile. "Well, since we've been discovered, there's no point in hiding anymore." With that, he stood up first and slowly emerged from behind the bushes, brushing the leaves off his clothes.
Immediately afterward, the agile Sun Bao, cautiously observing his surroundings, followed behind Li Wuji with a short blade in hand, his eyes revealing a hint of resentment and tension.
Then, the burly Zhou Meng and Zhao Xiong stepped out from behind a large tree, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly, as if demonstrating their strength to Yu Tianheng.
Finally, Zheng Feng, thin and pale, straightened his slightly disheveled clothes and stood tremblingly in the middle of the crowd, his eyes darting away, not daring to meet Yu Tianheng's sharp gaze.
Yu Tianheng looked at the group of people who had suddenly appeared, his expression cold and stern, his True Qi subtly fluctuating around him. He crossed his arms and spoke coldly, "What is your purpose in following me? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, don't even think about leaving easily."
Li Wuji stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Sir, we have only come to hunt Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring, and we have no intention of being your enemy. We only came to see what was happening after hearing the commotion."
"Ha!" Yu Tianheng sneered, "Even at this point, you still won't tell the truth? Do you really think I have a good temper?"
"To tell you the truth, I've known about you ever since you started following me, but I just haven't said anything."
"As for hunting Soul Beast, that's utter nonsense. The highest cultivation level among you is only level 49, not even level 50 yet. Why would you need Soul Ring?"
Yu Tianheng held the Purple Lightning Spear, its tip pointed directly at Li Wuji. "I'm giving you one last chance. Why were you following me? If you don't talk now, you'll die!"
Yu Tianheng's gaze was piercing as he stared intently at Li Wuji and the others, the oppressive aura emanating from him making the air seem to freeze.
Li Wuji inwardly groaned, knowing that things were unlikely to end well today. He gritted his teeth, forced himself to step forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and forced a helpless, bitter smile, " Young Master Yu, since you've said so, we dare not hide it any longer. We came here under orders to do something to harm you."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng's eyes instantly turned even colder. He slightly raised the Purple Lightning Spear in his hand, and a faint surge of Thunder power emanated from his body. "Speak, who sent you?"
Li Wuji hurriedly said, "It's Lei Long, the son of Marshal Lei Zhan Lei Long the Empire. He sent us to assassinate you. As for the reason, I think you know it in your heart, Young Master Yu."
Zhou Meng added in a deep voice, "We are soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire, working under Lei Long. As soldiers, it is our duty to obey military orders, so we planned to take action. However, before we did, we inquired about your background. You are the young patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I must say, your background is too terrifying. We simply cannot afford to offend you, so we have been delaying our actions."
"But if we go back like this, and Lei Long finds out we failed the mission, we'll be in big trouble too. So, we have no choice but to come with you and see how things go."
Upon hearing this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Yu Tianheng's eyes.
Lei Long, that bastard! I spared his life, and he still doesn't know what's good for him.
They dared to send someone to assassinate me.
Looks like I'll have to find a chance to get rid of him later.
