Blackpool Lake. Dark clouds covered the sky and neither moon nor stars could be seen.
Bolts of lightning crashed down from the sky. They gathered without dissipating, and a large region of the earth was transformed into a pool of lightning.
The howling winds were biting cold, and they were like sharp blades as they lashed through this region. Fallen leaves drifted over from the distance, and they were instantly cut to shreds when they came into contact with this wind.
Boom!
Appearing like a golden lighting dragon, a figure which was shrouded in golden lightning dashed forward. It broke through the wind blades and lightning pool and pounced toward a pitch-black male.
“Lightning Sword!” The male clutched at the void. Bringing with it a raging might, a blue lightning sword slashed down toward the golden lightning dragon.
There was an ear-splitting rumble as the golden lightning dragon collided with the blue lightning sword. The two entirely different lightning clashed and tore at each other.
Like pouring rain, the thunderclouds and lightning in the sky crashed down toward the golden lightning dragon, causing it to falter momentarily. At this moment, the blue lightning sword ripped apart the golden lightning dragon and cut toward the golden figure behind it.
This golden figure was none other than Huang Shan. Huang Shan didn’t dodge or evade, and the blue lightning sword tore a gaping wound into his body, sending a stream of blood spurting out.
Whoosh!
Huang Shan transformed into a streak of lightning and arced backward in retreat.
Meanwhile, Dong Yan and Hong Dou made a mad dash forward.
Suspended in the air not far before them was a silver holy grail which was radiating with a soft glow.
That was right! The holy grail here wasn’t worn on the war demon’s head. Instead, it was suspended in the air.
“You weaklings want to snatch our holy grail with that meager strength of yours?”
Like a burst of wind, a silvery-white male was upon them in an instant. He struck at the void toward Dong Yan and Hong Dou.
A tremendous wind pressure crushed down from the skies, causing the ground within a one hundred foot radius to completely cave in.
Dong Yan and Hong Dou were unable to dodge this sweeping attack, and their bodies were pounded into the earth.
“Retreat!”
At this moment, Huang Shan suddenly roared.
A dense cloud of terrifying lightning chased behind Huang Shan as he sprinted away from his opponent.
“Chaotic Frost!”
Dong Yan spread its wings and a snowstorm suddenly swept into emergence around this giant swallow. The snowstorm materialized into countless frost swords and shot into the surroundings.
The silvery-white male casually swiped his hand and hundreds of frost swords were shattered by his wind blades.
At this moment, Dong Yan and Hong Dou had already retreated and were fleeing into the distance.
“The speed at which you guys flee is fairly quick,” the silvery-white male mocked, “Looking at it from this point of view, you guys do indeed have some redeeming qualities.”
Huang Shan, Hong Dou, and Dong Yan only stopped fleeing after leaving the region of wind and lightning. After seeing that the Wind and Thunder Geminis hadn’t chased after them, they stopped where they were and started gasping heavily for breath.
“Phew… They’re way too f*cking strong,” Hong Dou lamented in despair. “There’s no way we can beat them!”
In terms of speed, the Wind and Thunder Geminis were evenly matched with Huang Shan. In terms of destructive power, the Wind and Thunder Geminis were more so far stronger than the three of them combined.
It could be said that apart from having an advantage in numbers, there was nothing else that they had an advantage in.
“What’s more, there’s a restrictive spell formation near that holy grail. Even if we break through the Wind and Thunder Geminis’ defenses, we still need a considerable amount of time to crack open that spell formation.” Dong Yan also appeared depressed and low spirited as it spoke.
During the battle just then, it had dashed toward the holy grail at full speed. Unexpectedly though, it crashed headfirst into the spell formation and almost crushed itself to death.
Hearing this, Huang Shan sighed heavily. A look of unwillingness appeared on his face as he looked toward the region of wind and lightning.
Just as the three of them were at a loss for what to do, a voice suddenly sounded.
“Are these benefactors interested in cooperating with us?”
A monk with finely chiseled features spoke in a warm and gentle voice as he slowly walked over.
These newcomers were none other than the Buddhist Kingdom’s Qing Zhi and Qing Xin. The one who offered was naturally their head representative, Qing Zhi.
Huang Shan was slightly taken aback. Then he asked, “So you’re suggesting that our forces work together to snatch the silver holy grail? But there’s only one holy grail. How are we going to decide who gets it?”
If both forces were focused on snatching the holy grail for themselves, then it was without a doubt that they would hold back their full strength. At that time, there would be a very real possibility that no one would be willing to spearhead the attack.
“The silver holy grail would be yours. This humble monk knows the location of a Blue-Winged Bone Dragon. When the time comes, I simply need my benefactors to help us snatch that iron holy grail.”
Hearing this, the expressions of the Hall of Creation’s three representatives eased.
To them, this transaction was not detrimental.
Only two members of the Buddhist Kingdom were here to help. Thus, aiding them in snatching an iron holy grail was only fair and reasonable.
The representatives of the Hall of Creation didn’t think for long before quickly accepting the monk’s offer.
Just like that, the two forces started discussing how to work together to snatch this silver holy grail.
Meanwhile, An Lin and the others were flying toward the eastern region of the Zhong Long mountain ranges.
After learning the locations of the holy grails, they stopped wandering around aimlessly. Right now, they were full of vigor as they flew quickly toward their destination.
“There seems to be lightning flashing about in the distance. It’s most likely that place!” Wang Xuanzhan’s battle intent surged.
Iron holy grails were already unable to sate his appetite. Only battling for silver holy grails could fire him up.
Whoosh!
The three of them flew even quicker, afraid that some other force might snatch away the holy grail before them.
Right now, thunder and lightning boomed in the region of wind and lightning.
Powerful and dazzling blade projections flashed from Dong Yan’s wings as it charged toward Thunder Gemini.
Thunder Gemini, who could manipulate lightning, should have been able to deal with Dong Yan’s attacks easily. Unexpectedly though, Qing Xin, a monk well-versed in the art of restrictive spell formations, suddenly appeared.
Possessing within them powerful restrictive abilities, streams of golden symbols burst from Qing Xin’s palms. These symbols were surprisingly able to hold Thunder Gemini back momentarily. As a result, Thunder Gemini was unable to take Dong Yan and Qing Xin down quickly.
Nearby, Wind Gemini, who was floating in mid-air, was trapped by a spell formation formed by Qing Zhi’s Buddhist prayer beads.
Hong Dou transformed into a gigantic rock golem one hundred feet in height and fiercely swiped his thick and sturdy hands at Wind Gemini.
Boom!
Wind Gemini was pounded into the ground by Hong Dou’s massive palms, and the ground cracked open from the devastating impact.
In the instant that the Wind and Thunder Geminis were trapped…
Like a piercing sword, a figure transformed into a golden streak of lightning as it broke through the wind and lightning formations and dashed toward the silver holy grail.
The restrictive spell formation around the silver holy grail suddenly erupted, releasing an even more violent and powerful wind barrier. Blinding arcs of lightning also flashed within the raging winds, restricting Huang Shan from breaking through.
Huang Shan didn’t choose to slowly undo the spell formation protecting the holy grail. Instead, he chose to ram his way through this spell formation!
“Divine Lightning of the Emperor!” Huang Shan roared loudly and an even more intense golden lightning crackled into appearance around his body.
The golden lightning swept outwards in a circular path, and the blue lightning surrounding Huang Shan faltered momentarily in this instant. Then, as if it was terrified, the blue lightning started twisting and distorting around the path of the golden lightning.
The wind barrier of the wind formation also started to split and crack open under the fearsome assault of the golden lightning.
Huang Shan roared as he exerted his full strength and tried to break through the wind formation in one go.
At this instant, a spear tore through his lightning domain like an azure dragon and viciously stabbed toward him.
Huang Shan’s pupils constricted, and a cold chill rose from his heart.
It wasn’t the Wind or Thunder Gemini who attacked him; it was the Heavenly Court’s Wang Xuanzhan!
