Chapter 86: Thunder Strike
Just when Qi Huan thought that she had entered the wolf’s mouth and was about to be dissected and eaten, another person suddenly appeared on the boat.
“Scram.” Only one centimeter away from Qi Huan’s pink lips, Mo Ye’s eyes flashed with an almost substantively murderous look, making Chi Yi who had just boarded the boat almost jumped off in shock.
“Bo… Boss, the thunder is here, and that person is also here.” Chi Yi took a step back and stopped when he hit the side of the boat. He wailed in his heart, I’m really dead this time! After returning home, the boss would surely be upset for a long time. He would surely be very angry, and he was very likely to send him (Chi Yi) to a terrible, terrible place for thousands of years.
Mo Ye didn’t like to show off in public, so he could only stare at Qi Huan fiercely, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he let go of her very reluctantly. Opposite to Mo Ye’s annoyed look, Qi Huan’s mood was very good, although she still felt a little pity.
“I won’t send you off, bye.” She pushed Mo Ye away smoothly, pushing him one meter away from her, keeping a safe distance.
“Let’s go.” Mo Ye gritted his teeth and glared at the innocent Chi Yi before turning around to leave. Suddenly he stopped again, a weird smile appeared on his face, and half of a book suddenly appeared in his hand.
He waved the dilapidated pages of the book, looked at Qi Huan with a smile, and said, “This is half of the book. Come look for me at the Heavenly Devil Sect and I will return the other half to you again. You owe me a kiss.” Mo Ye’s figure disappeared from the boat after that.
Chi Yi looked at the direction Mo Ye departed with admiration and muttered to himself, “The boss is really worthy of being the boss! That’s such a cool trick!” It’s a pity that his boss was gone before he could hear his praise.
“Hey, my book!!!” Qi Huan checked her storage ring, and found that there was only half of the book that he gave her just now. Although she knew that she could almost ascend after practicing “The Earth Pathway”, that book “The Heaven Pathway” was considered a rare book in the cultivation world, how could he do such a shameless trick!
Before she had time to figure out how Mo Ye took the book out of her storage ring, the roar of thunder outside had already sounded from the horizon. There were also some other voices mixed with the thunder.
Qi Huan poked her head out of the cabin and she could see countless noble cultivators attacking the position where Mo Ye stood not far away. Now thunders sounded in the sky one after another, and magical tools flew around beneath the sky. Various colours of magical tools flew randomly, bombarding Mo Ye’s position, but unfortunately those tools automatically bounced back before they could reach him.
The magical tools that were bounced back seemed to lose control for a moment, and fell into the sea of blood, instantly becoming contaminated.
Most of the cultivators that attacked Mo Ye were Buddha cultivators. Their magical tools were all Buddhist magical tools. Although they didn’t lack behind top magical tools in the cultivation world, they all became ineffective after falling into the sea of blood. Half of them lost their light as soon as they were taken out from the sea of blood.
“Everyone, he is standing in the center of the Nine Nether Formation. It is useless to attack him now. We can attack after the tianjie breaks the Nine Nether Formation’s defenses.” Someone in the crowd spoke, and that person was actually Dan Jie!
Although his cultivation level fell to the dacheng stage, he hadn’t completely lost his strength, so his strength was still much higher than an average dacheng cultivator. As soon as he finished speaking, most people stopped attacking. This was indeed the only law in the world of cultivation: Only the strongest one is respected.
Qi Huan glanced at Dan Jie, with a look of disdain on her face. Last time, she thought the only shameless people were the old cultivators of Kun Lun Sect. Now it seemed that she had misunderstood the world of cultivation. People from Mount Shu were not any better either, they were all a bunch of shameless cultivators.
What about helping heavens to get rid of the devils? Tch. After Dan Jie incited everyone’s hearts, he himself still didn’t step back. Those cultivators didn’t know Mo Ye’s identity, thought that he was an ordinary devil cultivator, but how could Dan Jie not know Mo Ye’s identity?
If he didn’t know Mo Ye’s identity, he would have directly grabbed the Resurrection Pill from him. He wouldn’t be afraid and waited until now. He must be thinking of making a selfish move now.
In the center of the Nine Nether Formation, Mo Ye, of course, also heard Dan Jie’s words, but he just glanced at him indifferently, sneered with disdain, then looked up at the sky again.
A figure appeared in the blood red sky. To be precise, it was a deity. A silver-black armour wrapped his body tightly, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. Numerous bloodshot thunder condensed around his body, making him look somewhat strange.
“This is how a deity looks? That’s really disappointing.” Qi Huan muttered while shaking her head. From the bottom of her heart, she hated that person in the sky. She hated his look that looked down on sentient beings, as if the people below were all worthless peasants. “When I become a deity, I will kick him down, dare you look down on me!” Although the man’s eyes were not looking at Qi Huan, she was still very upset. What’s so amazing about being a deity! You’re just borned tens of thousands of years earlier than me! Or maybe millions of years earlier...
The little fox jumped onto Qi Huan’s shoulders, nodded in agreement, then licked its little paws, curled up and lay down on her shoulders to watch the excitement.
“Mo Ye, don’t you even dream of returning to the Heavenly Devil Sect again.” At this time, the person in the sky suddenly spoke, and the words came out turned into bloody thunder strikes, hitting the Nine Nether Formation.
“Really? You couldn’t stop me from ascending back then, do you think you have the ability to do it now? You can’t even do such a small thing. I guess you don’t have to even dream of becoming a Thunder God in this life.” Mo Ye sneered. Although Qi Huan couldn’t see him, she was certain that the look in his eyes must be the kind that was very contemptuous.
“Hmph.” It seemed that Mo Ye was right because the man snorted coldly, and then blood-red thunderballs in the sky started crashing down.
This is the legendary Devil Tribulation (devil jie). This was the first time Qi Huan saw it. The Devil Tribulation is different from the Heaven Tribulation (tianjie). The Heaven Tribulation is a transition that only mortal cultivators must experience to become a deity, while the Devil Tribulation is a transition that real devils must overcome. The blood-red thunder, according to the notes recorded on the jade charm, is the second-most powerful devil thunder in the Thunder God Temple. In terms of destructive power, it may be inferior to the Seventh-Rank Divine Thunder, but it is said that this thunder will bring endless devilish energy. Once a person is trapped by the devilish energy, the person will undoubtedly die.
Now Qi Huan had no time to ponder about how Mo Ye had suddenly changed from a human to a devil. She was hesitating very seriously whether she should also absorb some blood thunder into her body. Although that thunder really looked good, it was covered with blood, which made her wonder if it would cause harm to her body after absorbing it.
Just as she was still hesitating, the defensive barrier of the Nine Nether Formation was finally broken by the thunderballs, and at the same time the barrier shattered, a sky full of magical tools charged towards Mo Ye. Qi Huan looked at the magical tools flying all over the sky with bright eyes. She licked her lips greedily. It was usually difficult to encounter a celestial magical tool. But at this moment, half of them in the sky were at least of celestial level.
It’s a pity that those magical tools didn’t bother Mo Ye much. She didn’t know why she believed in his strength so much but she just felt that he would not be killed so easily.
“Ignorance.” Mo Ye sneered, and a golden bladeless sword gradually emerged from his hand. Bucket-sized thunderballs still fell from the sky. As those magical tools reached Mo Ye’s side, Qi Huan could only see two golden lights flashed, and suddenly those magical tools in the sky snapped and fell into the sea of blood like dumplings.
Only the remaining two or three did not fall, but they had lost their light, like they were probably abandoned.
No wonder the four elders of the Monster Sect were willing to surrender their status to steal this sword. Qi Huan also noticed that the sword’s grade was a bit higher than that of celestial tools. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a god-level magical weapon.
After a few smart-enough dacheng Buddha cultivators saw this scene, they all ran away with their own disciples without saying a word, regardless of whether their escape would be embarrassing or not. Anyway, it was better to be ashamed than be dead. They also understood that the person in front of them was not something they could afford to mess with. Thousands of cultivators joined forces but they were disrupted by just one move. This was simply not something an ordinary devil cultivator could do. As for Dan Jie who used them as spearmen, he had run away a long time ago.
Deities are really unreliable these days, it is better to rely on oneself. Then, somehow, not sure if it was on purpose or not, a thunderball suddenly turned towards Qi Huan’s boat and came charging over to her.
Mo Ye barely blocked the dozen or so thunderballs that fell down from the sky. When he saw a thunderball suddenly change its direction, without hesitation, he slashed his sword towards Qi Huan, and the thunderball blasted silently beside the boat.
After Mo Ye’s weakness was seen by the person in the sky, a sneer appeared on his face. His hands moved around quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the thunder on his body became stronger and stronger, and finally merged with the blood-red clouds.
Thunderballs no longer fell from the sky, and the world calmed down. Mo Ye looked calmly at the clouds in the sky. On the boat, Qi Huan’s body was flashing with seven colours of thunder, her eyes also flashed from time to time.
Only
That man actually used her to attract Mo Ye’s attention. If Mo Ye hadn’t done anything to protect her just now, with her current weak body, she would surely be crippled if she was hit by the thunderball. Suddenly…
“Mo Ye, you better stay in the mortal world forever!” The rumbling thunder resounded through the world, and countless clouds finally compressed into a red cloud that seemed to be bleeding.
“Now.” With the last strike of thunder, eight people who had been standing beside Mo Ye took action at the same time, charging towards the blood-red thunder that was at least 100 meters in radius.
This time, Qi Huan was in the attack range again, but it was a pity that Mo Ye could not save her. With a crack sound, her boat was completely shattered into pieces, and Jin Xiu’s body was silently shattered into gravel, shaping into a human form, floating in the air strangely.
Qi Huan didn’t hide because she knew it was useless to hide.
When the thunder came down, the Seventh-Ranked Divine Thunder wrapped her like a thick cocoon, firmly protecting her. Qi Huan sat in the thunder light. She could feel her eyes were bloodshot due to anger. Suddenly she seemed to feel something, so she closed her eyes lightly. When she opened her eyes again, the Taiji pattern could be seen in her left eye and in her right eye, eight divinatory trigrams could be seen, but the eight divinatory trigrams weren’t very clear.
Through her two strange eyes, Qi Huan saw a distinctive red thunder among the thunders that were striking down. She raised her hand subconsciously towards the thunder, grabbing it.
