The Eldest Senior Brother Falls
However, the Thunder Eagle did not die as a result. After all, it was a third-tier Demon Beast. Although it did not actively defend itself, its own defensive capabilities were strong enough.
Although Thunder Eagle didn't die, one of its wings was broken, which caused it to lose its ability to fly.
As the saying goes, a fallen phoenix is no better than a chicken. This also applies to the Thunder Eagle, the overlord of the skies. Having lost its ability to fly, its strength has dropped by at least 70%.
However, Qin Yu did not immediately go down to finish it off, because an attack of this magnitude was enough to wake up the Thunder Eagle. Although its strength had decreased by 70% at this moment, the terrifying lightning was still deadly.
Without hesitation, Qin Yu raised his hand and summoned huge rocks to smash down on the spot where the Thunder Eagle landed, like a continuous storm.
However, as the boulders continued to fall, more and more blood flowed from Qin Yu's mouth, and even some gray hairs began to grow on his head.
The constant use of his Golden Core Stage power was almost too much for him to handle. If this continued, he wouldn't last a full incense stick's time; he'd be lucky to last even half an incense stick's time.
Just then, a loud eagle cry suddenly rang out from the distant, raging sky; the sound was so angry and so penetrating.
Upon hearing the voice, Qin Yu uncontrollably coughed up a mouthful of blood, and wrinkles immediately appeared around the corners of his eyes.
Even Qin Yu, who was far away, was affected by this. Although the demon kings who were fighting were not seriously injured, they were slightly affected by the angry cry of the eagle, and their attacks on the Thunder Eagle unconsciously slowed down.
The Thunder Eagle quickly broke away from the battle and sped towards Qin Yu's direction.
Because Thunder Eagle was naturally blessed by lightning, its speed was not much slower than lightning itself. By the time the other demon kings reacted, it had already gone far away.
As Qin Yu watched the approaching thunderstorm, he chuckled, then a resolute glint appeared in his eyes.
He abandoned his attack and headed straight for the Thunder Eagle below. At that moment, the Thunder Eagle had just climbed out of the pit with a barrage of boulders overhead. Although it was covered in lightning, it was not in good condition; at the very least, it was still dizzy.
Before it could even regain its footing, a foot descended from the sky, shattering its protective barrier. Lightning struck its head, then stomped it back down.
Despite the heavy blow, the Thunder Eagle was not seriously injured, and it even sobered it up considerably.
Once Thunder Eagle regained consciousness, he saw that the tiny insect, which looked like a crawling worm, dared to step on his head. Instantly, lightning flashed, and violent lightning bolts, like streaks of lightning, shot out.
Although the stone helmet was badly damaged by the electricity and there was a faint smell of burning coming from his body, Qin Yu remained completely calm.
He raised his hand and flipped it, and a top-grade Swordsmanship appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, he flew down a few steps and thrust the flying sword at the base of Thunder Eagle's injured wing.
The reason he didn't use his divine sense to control it was because his divine sense couldn't penetrate the Thunder Eagle's lightning defense. Therefore, Qin Yu used the most primitive method: relying on his immense strength to thrust the sword.
As for why he didn't attack the opponent's vital spot on the top of his head, it was because Qin Yu simply couldn't withstand Thunder Eagle's strongest attacks once he regained consciousness; those attacks could kill him at any moment.
Soon, the flying sword pierced through the lightning, penetrated the Thunder Eagle's feathers, and pierced into its flesh, but it only went in halfway before being stuck in its bones.
Seeing this, Qin Yu raised his hand and slammed it on the hilt of the flying sword. The domineering force instantly changed the direction of the flying sword, forcibly flying out from the other side, just past Thunder Eagle's bones, where a transparent blood hole immediately appeared.
This was the first time the Thunder Eagle had ever been truly injured, causing it to let out a pitiful and terrified cry. But what followed was even more violent lightning, which not only tore Qin Yu's skin open, but also caused some of the flesh in places that hadn't been taken seriously to begin melting.
Qin Yu endured the numbness and intense pain in his body and began to exert force by gripping the bloody hole.
"Get down here, you son of a bitch!"
The pain of its flesh being torn open caused Thunder Eagle to struggle wildly. It roared and thrashed about, its body radiating lightning that illuminated the entire crater.
After struggling and thrashing it was no use, Thunder Eagle stretched its neck to try and turn its head to bite Qin Yu, but Qin Yu was in a blind spot and it couldn't reach him at all.
Seeing the wound getting bigger and bigger, Thunder Eagle became furious and spat out a ball of electric energy.
Because this was Thunder Eagle's own attack, and because Thunder Eagle is naturally drawn to lightning, the electric ball did not spread. Instead, it merged with the electric light emanating from its wings, increasing the power of the lightning.
But at this moment, Qin Yu didn't even care about his life, so why would he be afraid of lightning that only increased in power? To him now, as long as it wasn't an attack that would kill him instantly, he didn't care at all. He just wanted to tear off a wing.
"Click~"
With a cracking sound of bones dislocating, Qin Yu, whose wing was already charred black, grinned. The next moment, he exerted a sudden force and ripped the entire wing off from the base.
At this moment, Qin Yu was bathed in blood that crackled with electricity, and his body carried a strange, fleshy scent, making him look like Mo Yi.
With a piece of its wing torn off, the Thunder Eagle let out a shrill scream, and the electric light around its body dimmed slightly.
As the cry rang out, a furious eagle's cry immediately followed from the sky.
Qin Yu lay on the ground, barely breathing, his white hair making him look like an old man on the verge of death. He turned his head with difficulty and glanced at Thunder Eagle beside him, a contemptuous smile appearing on his lips.
"Hey, do you think I'm a stupid senior brother? Instead of thinking about running away myself, I'm risking my life for those junior brothers and sisters who are less talented than me?"
No one answered, just as the Thunder Eagle with the broken wing was about to turn and swallow Qin Yu whole.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot out from the void, shattering its already weakened defenses. It entered through the wound on its side, piercing its heart and various organs, and finally shot up its esophagus, bursting out from the two ears on either side of its head.
Before the Thunder Eagle arrived, a ripple appeared in the void, and a figure wrapped in lightning slowly emerged. He came to Qin Yu's side, bent down, and picked him up, whispering, "Fellow Daoist Qin, in terms of senior brother, I am inferior to you. No senior brother from any sect can compare to you. Fellow Daoist Qin, may you have a safe journey. I will return your body to the Spirit Moon Sect."
Qin Yu weakly raised his hand to strike, but it fell limply down halfway up.
"Meng Yan, you son of a bitch..."
He had only uttered one curse when Qin Yu's eyelids suddenly slammed shut as if weighed down by a thousand pounds, and his breath vanished instantly.
Meng Yan glanced silently at the dead Qin Yu, sighed softly, and then re-entered the void, disappearing along with the dead Thunder Eagle.
As the reptile that had killed its mate vanished, the Thunder Eagle that had dared to approach from the sky raised its head and let out a mournful cry, followed by a raging sea of lightning that could cover an area of three miles in radius.
It's using lightning to slowly wash the ground, determined to find that bug!
