Mu Fan: "Junior Brother Looks... Pretty Cool!"
"Boom!"
The lightning bolt clashed with the longsword.
A loud bang followed.
Xiao Zhong transformed into light.
Boom boom boom!
Thunder roared and lightning flashed.
Xiao Zhong's feet were firmly planted on the ground, but his body was falling backward uncontrollably.
Wherever it passed, it dragged two deep ravines into the ground.
"How is that possible!"
The all-out attack failed to tear through the lightning strike.
When the lightning struck his body, a numbing sensation almost covered his entire body.
Even the most apathetic person would become numb under the shadow of such terrifying thunder.
Boom boom boom!
The dense magical attacks were as numerous as raindrops.
However, even though Xiao Zhong had been defeated, Xiao Ye's busy hands never stopped moving.
Various spells, aided by the Simplified Dao Book Scroll, were unleashed at an astonishing speed, surging towards Xiao Zhong like a flood.
In contrast, Xiao Zhong was now clearly struggling to cope.
If he hadn't known that it was Xiao Ye who was attacking, the dense and continuous attacks would have made him feel like he was being ganged up on by a group of people who practiced magic.
But it was precisely because he knew that Xiao Ye was behind it that he found it even harder to accept.
How long has it been since Xiao Ye became an apprentice?
Half a year? No, I don't think so.
How could someone become no weaker than themselves in such a short time?
Especially the method of cultivation, the domineering lightning magic, and the terrifying speed of its casting.
You know, the moment I first saw Xiao Ye, I felt a sense of relief.
And right now...
If I don't fight with all my might, I'm afraid I'll be the one who breathes my last today.
"That Third Elder is really unlucky."
After his initial surprise, Mu Fan looked at the fierce battle on the field and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Staying in the Xiao Clan, you still wouldn't behave yourself. Doing bad things is one thing, but you even had to go and lay a hand on Junior Brother Xiao's cousin..."
Yeah, it's all my own doing.
"But."
Mu Fan looked at Xiao Fan, then his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something, and he murmured to himself:
"Junior brother's hands are so quick, could he really be tricked into helping me draw talismans?"
Mu Fan was thinking.
On the field, Xiao Zhong suddenly bit his tongue, and his whole body trembled.
It was clearly perceptible that something was burning inside its body.
Burning essence and blood!
"Disperse!"
Xiao Zhong roared, and the spiritual energy around him surged suddenly, colliding with the incoming lightning spell.
Boom!
A loud bang followed.
The incoming magical attacks all exploded with a deafening roar.
Xiao Zhong finally gained a brief respite.
"I don't believe you can last that long!"
Xiao Zhong spoke in a cold voice.
To deal with someone who practices magic, you either have to get close or wear them down.
He refused to believe that Xiao Ye could maintain such a ferocious attack indefinitely.
Once they run out of steam, we can...
Just as I thought of this, the lightning spells from behind came one after another.
He could barely rest for two breaths.
When the lightning struck, Xiao Zhong felt as if he had been hit hard. His body trembled violently, and the spiritual energy surrounding him shattered completely.
Boom boom boom!
Another barrage of attacks ensued.
Xiao Zhong's breath grew increasingly faint.
He had only one hope: that Xiao Ye would run out of successors.
But this was like a mirage, unattainable.
For a moment, Xiao Zhong's consciousness became increasingly blurred.
Finally, at a certain moment, Xiao Ye stopped attacking.
His face showed a thoughtful expression:
"With that aura, it should be much less of a threat, right?"
From the very beginning, he never intended to kill Xiao Zhong directly; otherwise, he wouldn't have only used these lower-grade spells.
He needs to know why.
Simplified Dao Book Scroll, lightning flashed in Xiao Ye's eyes.
The next moment, lightning surged wildly around Xiao Ye and converged into his palm.
Under the cover of night, Xiao Ye, his long robes fluttering, wielded thunder, appearing like a god.
"Hiss."
Mu Fan a light breath, a hint of envy in his eyes:
"Junior brother... he's kind of handsome."
Tap tap tap.
Xiao Ye walked step by step toward Xiao Zhong.
At this point, the latter was already lying on the ground.
His clothes were already torn to shreds by the lightning strike.
There was a close-fitting armor, which was now riddled with grooves and cracks.
The exposed skin, charred and wounded, appeared even more dark red.
His hair stood on end, and there was a bruise on his mouth; he no longer resembled a normal person.
Seeing Xiao Ye approach, Xiao Zhong moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he no longer had the strength to speak.
Xiao Ye glanced at him, then took out a talisman and cast it.
Xiao Zhong's pupils suddenly contracted, then his body stiffened, and he fainted.
He then took out the array plate and Xiao Ye it, before dissipating the lightning in his hand.
A short while later, after cleaning up the battlefield, the two men, along with the two others, left one after the other.
"Not bad."
Watching the two figures disappear, Lu Changzhi nodded in satisfaction.
No wonder he's been in seclusion for so long.
The elders of the same realm in the Lineage were all suppressed and beaten by Xiao Ye from beginning to end.
However, this was to be expected.
Xiao Zhong's aura was very weak, and the resources he used for cultivation were far inferior to those of Xiao Ye.
If his goal was to kill the other party, he probably wouldn't have needed to drag it out for so long.
I was just about to go back with them.
Suddenly, Lu Changzhi paused and looked up at the sky.
"This feeling... it seems somewhat familiar."
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Changzhi's gaze fell upon a spot in the void.
Just now, there was a slight ripple at that location.
The last time such fluctuations occurred was at the Heavenly Azure Ruins.
"Could it be that someone has time-traveled again?"
Lu Changzhi murmured a guess.
Such spatial fluctuations must be caused by something happening.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi's gaze suddenly sharpened.
"No, that can't be it."
Above, the sky was originally clear and cloudless.
At this moment, dark clouds began to appear.
Unlike ordinary overcast and rainy days.
As the dark clouds gathered, an untouchable will seemed to be brewing and taking shape.
"A sign of Lightning Tribulation?"
Lu Changzhi narrowed his eyes, a thought flashing through his mind.
"Is that ancestor of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land about to break through?"
Breaking through in secret realms is not absolutely safe.
The Lightning Tribulation contains the Will of Heaven and Earth, and it cannot be completely hidden in a secret realm.
The secret realm is affected by the power of heaven and earth, and will experience certain fluctuations.
The fluctuation he felt just now was likely due to this.
Thinking of these things, Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly.
"Now that it's starting, things should get chaotic in the Holy Land as well."
With a murmur, Lu Changzhi focused his mind on his External Avatar.
They began to observe the situation over there.
Above, figures emerged from the flying boat of the Star Moon Holy Land.
"The Lightning Tribulation is about to occur, Saint is breaking through! Such a joyous occasion, Huang Yunya, why don't you hurry over to offer your congratulations?"
Min Qianlan took a step forward, his voice booming.
Before the words were finished, below, within the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, a light array suddenly appeared.
"Let's fight! Let's fight!"
Lu Changzhi said softly.
Those watching the spectacle, wouldn't they want things to get even worse?
As they were talking, a system voice suddenly sounded in Lu Changzhi's ear:
"Lightning Tribulation has been detected. Do you wish to spend 5,000 experience points to advance...?"
