Chapter 419: Lightning Tribulation
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
A gigantic three-headed creature bathing in lightning. For Jiang Tao and the rest, this scene was enough for them to remember for a lifetime!
Although they were all elite soldiers and had seen their fill of blood and gore, as well as encountered some of the cruelest and most perverted criminals, they had not seen something like this even in their wildest dreams.
The impact this scene had on them was too big. Some of them even began to doubt their lives and existence. It was a known fact that the largest creatures on Earth was the elephant. But compared to this gigantic beast, an elephant was like an infant!
Although everyone was holding a weapon in their hands, they could not obtain any sense of security from it. As for whether the bullets from a handgun could even break this beast’s defense, they were deeply suspicious.
When they saw the three humans flying above the strange beast, they wanted to slap themselves on the face to confirm that they weren’t dreaming.
The group stared at each other to confirm that they were seeing the same thing. Everyone felt like they were going mad. Humans could actually fly!
“Don’t speak a word, just stand to the side quietly. And keep your guns. The guns are useless to you here. If your guns somehow misfire and piss off one of those powerful characters, don’t say that I did not warn you.”
One of the Xiantian Lords noticed the arrival of Jiang Tao’s group and walked over to warn them out of goodwill.
Jiang Tao’s group had been discovered the moment they walked into the manor. But they haven’t been chased out so as to give some kind of accountability to the country.
“Captain?”
When they heard the words of this person, the group immediately felt a wave of anger flood through them. All of them were elite soldiers who had gone through countless top secret missions. But now, they were actually being looked down on in this manner. Everyone was fuming, and they looked towards Jiang Tao to stand up for them.
Jiang Tao was also in a difficult spot. When he received the mission, he remembered that his superior had emphasized that they must not get into a conflict with these people no matter what. In the end, he sighed lightly and commanded everyone to keep their guns.
“A wise choice.”
The Xiantian Lord smiled and left.
“Wait! What would have happened just now if we didn’t keep our guns?” Zeng Li suddenly asked with a blank look on her face.
The Xiantian Lord paused his steps and a nonchalant voice floated to their ears. “Hur hur, all of you would be dead right now.”
Inside the courtyard, the Cerberus looked extremely wretched. Its eyes were unyielding. Its body, however, was beginning to change.
“It’s fine, I can endure this lightning tribulation alone!”
The Cerberus’s three heads were raised arrogantly as usual, its snouts facing the sky.
Bei Feng looked at it silently. This attitude was very normal for Indigestion, and was only to be expected. But now, even the usually cowardly Insatiable and Black Hole who were afraid of pain were behaving like this. This part caused Bei Feng to feel quite shocked.
With slight move of his finger, three middle grade spirit stones appeared in his hands. Without any hesitation, he threw the spirit stones to the Cerberus.
“Ao wu!”
The Cerberus did not say anything and directly swallowed the spirit stones in one gulp. After that, it howled aloud and rotated its bloodline technique.
“Boom!”
The second bolt of lightning streaked downwards in an instant, as if it was unwilling to give the Cerberus time to recover. This lightning bolt was much stronger than the last one, and was as thick as an adult’s waist!
“Pu!”
The Cerberus did not dodge nor hide, directly being blasted away and sent flying. The decorative man-made mountain nearby was directly smashed into pieces. The Cerberus’s body spasmed heavily as sinister-looking arcs of electricity ran through it’s body. Black smoke rose from its body, and large mouthfuls of blood were spat out from it’s mouths.
“Hou!”
The Cerberus struggled to its feet. Its entire body was charred black, and a smell of burnt flesh saturated the area.
“Gulp!”
It wasn’t clear who swallowed first, but the sound of someone swallowing their saliva started a chain reaction as the same scene spread through the crowd.
A blackened, charred giant Demonic Beast which looked like it had come from ancient times was in the middle of a breakthrough, while a group of people were standing not far away, watching it while drool ran down the sides of their mouths.
“Hmph!”
Bei Feng did not like the way these people were looking at the Cerberus. His aura blasted outwards, instantly pressuring down on the crowd!
“Pu!”
“Cough, cough!”
The Xiantian Lords and Evolved Jing masters who were standing 200 meters away seemed to have been struck by lightning and were all sent flying backwards, smashing into the rest of the crowd.
The tens of people closest to the front directly received heavy injuries with that blast of pressure. The others immediately did not dare to reveal any greedy looks at the Cerberus.
‘What a bully! Didn’t this daddy just look at it a few times only?’
‘This damn dog will definitely not be able to make it through this tribulation, it’ll be struck to death by lightning for sure!’
Countless people cursed angrily in their hearts.
“I know that you all are unconvinced, I also know that many of you are cursing at me. I’ll give everyone a chance right now. Those who wants to scold me may step out right now and scold me openly.”
Bei Feng’s eyes were cold and emotionless. It was like he’d stepped through space—in an instant, all the onlookers who were standing 200 meters away felt cold sweat traveling down their backs.
“How come nobody dares to step out? I don’t care what background you have, or what kind of a genius you are. All the weaklings better keep quiet and stand far away. I don’t like the looks in your eyes. If I see that kind of eyes again, I’ll gouge them out.”
Bei Feng’s tone was calm, as if he was talking about an extremely casual topic.
An elderly Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert stepped out and said in a peaceful tone, “Fellow Daoist, these juniors are ignorant, may Fellow Daoist not take offense with these juniors.”
Bei Feng turned his eyes away from the crowd and looked at the Cerberus worriedly.
At this moment, the Cerberus was in an extremely bad state. Its skin was split open, and its flesh was raw and charred. A long scar had appeared on its back.
This scar was extremely terrifying to look at. It was three meters long and deep enough to see bones. There was no blood coming from the wound, because the area around the wound had already been burnt close by the high temperature!
With a speed visible to the naked eye, all the electricity in the dark cloud began to gather at the center, forming into a two-meter-wide lightning bolt. A shocking energy wave rippled from it!
The two-meter-wide lightning seemed to be like a lively dragon, brandishing its claws and fangs. The previous two bolts of lightning had been purple. But this one was platinum silver in color, and it radiated limitless light and heat!
There wasn’t much noise or commotion this time. The lightning blasted down quietly, and everywhere it passed, the air around it began to twist!
“Hou!”
The Cerberus struggled to its feet. Facing this lightning, the three heads instantly spat out a fist-sized inner Dan each. When the inner Dans appeared, a thick Heaven and Earth Ling Qi and Demonic Qi appeared!
The inner Dan was the strongest yet weakest part of part of a human body. Unless it was a situation of life or death, it wouldn’t be released outside of the body.
The three inner Dans were radiating light like a little sun. From the looks of it, this was going to be a clash between the sun and the lightning.
The huge lightning struck down, firmly smashing into the huge frame of the Cerberus!
A blanket of white light instantly appeared in the yard. Even the Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts were unable to see through it. The most important thing was that a terrifying high temperature along with light energy blasted outwards in all directions!
Under such conditions, even Bei Feng’s mental power did not not dare to appear. The mental power was like snow meeting the sun when it was exposed to lightning.
“Boom!”
A huge explosion rang out, and all the Xiantian Lords had to circulate all their strength to resist the shock wave from the explosion. But despite that, a trace of blood could be found on their lips after the shock wave passed.
In contrast, it was the Dark Jing experts, Evolved Jing masters and normal humans like Jiang Tao who were standing far away due to their weak strengths that escaped. They were only being pushed back by the shock wave, and were not in any life-threatening danger.
