Chapter 700 -701: The Wind-Thunder Divine Stick Shows Its Might (4th Update!)
The Dragon Cat’s charming divine skill could only control Lei Kuang for the span of a single breath, after all, as a Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint, his resistance to adverse states was still extremely strong. The moment the Dragon Scorpion’s venom had just entered Lei Kuang’s body, Lei Kuang regained his ability to move. With all his strength, he shook violently and sent both the Dragon Cat and the Dragon Scorpion flying.
“Pfft!”
A mouthful of reverse blood spurted out of the Dragon Scorpion’s mouth, and the Dragon Cat’s face turned from green to red. They hadn’t proven the Tao and become saints yet, so they were injured by the full-force tremor Lei Kuang released in his fury. The Dragon Cat originally wanted to continue using its charming divine skill to control Lei Kuang, but now it was unable to muster the strength.
“You two pieces of trash! I’ll tear you to shreds!”
His left arm had completely lost all sensation, and with Lei Kuang’s cultivation strength, he could only seal off his left arm to prevent the spread of the poison, but this was by no means a long-term solution. Gritting his teeth with determination, Lei Kuang swung the Thunderbolt Blade in his right hand, severing his entire left arm. A muffled groan immediately followed, yet streams of flowing light began to converge towards the location of the left arm, forming a new arm.
This was an arm Lei Kuang condensed out of nature’s spiritual energy, something most who had attained sainthood could recover with, but the newly formed arm simply couldn’t compare with the original. Aside from maintaining balance, it had virtually no combat power, and its capacity to endure the meridians and flesh was extremely poor. It would require a lengthy period of nurturing and cultivation to regain its original form.
Lei Kuang was furious. He was a prestigious Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint, and this was the first time he took part in a battle within the Three Realms since the return of his Thunder Clan. He hadn’t expected to be wounded by the Dragon Cat and Dragon Scorpion, two juniors he hadn’t even considered a threat, resulting in the loss of his left arm!
If he didn’t avenge this, how could Lei Kuang hold his head high among the Myriad Races?
“Die!”
Thunder surged wildly from the Thunderbolt Blade in his right hand as Lei Kuang slashed down towards the Dragon Cat and Dragon Scorpion who had fallen to the ground.
Just as the blade was about to hit, the bodies of the Dragon Cat and Dragon Scorpion suddenly turned into two balls of light and “swooshed” into Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Qiankun Bag at his waist. The blade struck empty air, slicing the ground and the entire mountain in two, pulverizing a vast area that came into contact with the blade light.
“Sun Wukong, so you really are here!”
This move completely exposed Sun Wukong’s location. Lei Kuang’s slash broke through the last of Yan Jue’s hidden barriers, revealing Sun Wukong and Mu Sheng.
“Hahaha, I knew my guess was correct! You were just putting up a front earlier. Actually, you had already been caught by the Evil Emperor’s trick! Mu Sheng, I know you are unrivaled in healing ability, but the injuries caused by the Evil Emperor’s dying counterattack are not so easily healed. Do you think I will give you the time to heal this Demon Monkey now?”
Lei Kuang displayed an arrogant expression, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Thunder danced on the Thunderbolt Blade he held, and as soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Sun Wukong and Mu Sheng to respond, he swung the blade toward them in a backhand strike.
The blade light, transformed from thunder light, burst from the blade and reached Sun Wukong and Mu Sheng in an instant. If they didn’t dodge, the blade would solidly strike them. With Lei Kuang’s attack power, Sun Wukong and Mu Sheng would undoubtedly be unable to withstand it and would either die or be severely injured.
“I never thought I, Old Sun, would actually die at the hands of such a scoundrel!”
Sun Wukong’s eyes revealed a color of despair, and he let out a miserable chuckle, waiting for the moment the blade’s glow would pierce his body, but the anticipated pain didn’t come. Somewhat surprised, he lowered his head and saw that, unknowingly, an iron staff wrapped with the power of wind and thunder had positioned itself before him, blocking the blade’s glow. Not just that, amidst a “sizzling” sound, the blade’s glow turned into strands and threads of thunder light that were being absorbed into the iron staff.
It was the Wind-Thunder Divine Stick!
Sun Wukong’s eyes instantly widened, then a trace of ecstatic joy flashed through them. This was the Wind-Thunder Divine Stick that he had obtained in the Golden Winged Great Roc Clan’s Wind Thunder Divine Temple. It was originally meant to be given to Yuan Hong, but he had forgotten it due to the distractions caused by the Evil Race and had kept it in his dantian, thinking to give it to Yuan Hong the next time they met. Unexpectedly, it had exerted its power at this moment, blocking Lei Kuang’s thunderous blade glow!
“What weapon is that, capable of absorbing my thunder?”
Lei Kuang’s face also underwent a sudden change. The thunder and lightning blade glow from his Thunderbolt Blade was more formidable than even the Heavenly Punishment Tribulation Thunder, yet it was being absorbed by this unremarkable iron staff!
What kind of divine weapon was this, and why had he never heard of it before?
“Yan Jue, I lend you this Wind-Thunder Divine Stick, use it well to fix him up for your elder brother Wukong!”
The ecstasy was fleeting, and Sun Wukong quickly regained his calm. With a thought, the Wind-Thunder Divine Stick flew towards the deep pit where Yan Jue had emerged from. Although Yan Jue had freed himself from the deep pit, he definitely couldn’t withstand Lei Kuang on his own, but with the Wind-Thunder Divine Stick added to the mix, that might not necessarily be the case!
“Snap!”
Yan Jue grasped the Wind-Thunder Divine Stick in his hand, feeling the strong force of wind and thunder emanating from it, and his eyes instantly widened in shock, “This, this is a medium-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure level divine weapon, and it contains the power of wind and thunder!”
Yan Jue had seen medium-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure divine weapons before, but he had never seen any that contained both wind and thunder powers. Let alone medium-grade, even low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures were extremely rare. Lei Kuang’s Thunderbolt Blade and Yan Jue’s Crimson Flame Spear were only of low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure level.
And more crucially, this Wind-Thunder Divine Stick was the perfect counter to Lei Kuang!
Lei Kuang was the Thunder Clan Leader, cultivating Thunder Primordial Force, which was extremely domineering, surpassing even Fire Primordial Force. This was why Yan Jue couldn’t match Lei Kuang when they were on the same level, and the gap was even wider when they were not. But with the Wind-Thunder Divine Stick, things were different.
Lei Kuang’s attacks were basically infused with Thunder Primordial Force, and from the scene just now, it was evident that the Wind-Thunder Divine Stick could absorb the Thunder Primordial Force and transform it into the power of wind and thunder. As long as Yan Jue held the Wind-Thunder Divine Stick, he could absorb most of Lei Kuang’s attack power, and what was left posed no threat to him at all!
“Thank you, Great Saint! I will definitely teach this dog a good lesson for you!”
Licking his lips, Yan Jue put away his Crimson Flame Spear and, holding the Wind-Thunder Divine Stick, charged towards Lei Kuang. He wielded the Wind-Thunder Divine Stick as if it were a spear and fiercely attacked Lei Kuang.
Although he hadn’t refined the Wind-Thunder Divine Stick, now, under Sun Wukong’s authorization, it completely followed Yan Jue’s command, hitting wherever he pointed. Most of Lei Kuang’s thunderous attacks with the Thunderbolt Blade were absorbed by the Wind-Thunder Divine Stick, and the situation instantly flipped upside down!
