Earlier, due to the fact that the adamantine room in which Xie Feng and Nangong Wentian were in was covered with bright blue lightning, people could see absolutely nothing inside it except lightning and more lightning that joined together to form a deep blue sea. Therefore, except for hearing the terrifying explosions caused by the lightning striking each other or a solid object, all the people who were anxiously waiting for the final conclusion could do was listen to Nangong Wentian’s battle screams filled with murderous intent.
However, as the battle dragged on, Nangong Wentian’s shouts became more and more frenetic. So much so that the people outside the battle hall even began to notice the worry in the voice of the Nangong Family patriarch.
“Father…” Nangong Lei clenched his fists in fury while staring intently at the screen as if he wanted to see beyond it. Unfortunately, his power was still too far away to compare to his father’s, so his sight could not travel further than that of a normal person.
Yao Ruolan was no longer smiling and her face had become extremely anxious at this moment. Although she was unwilling to believe it, it seemed that her husband was having trouble defeating the young man in his early twenties. Yao Ruolan didn’t know much but she had heard about the event that shook the whole world two years ago when a 5th level windstorm destroyed everything within a hundred kilometers around the outskirts of Beijing… However, she could not believe that such a young man could put one of the strongest people in the world in danger.
She knew very well the consequences if her husband Nangong Wentian failed! Even if Yao Ruolan was Yao Xiyu’s sister, it was still questionable whether Yao Xiyu was willing to make an enemy of a monster capable of defeating someone with a strength similar to his and risk the safety of the entire Yao Family for her! Besides, the life of her son Nangong Lei…. No, not only Nangong Lei; the entire Nangong Family was in danger!
While several people were suffering inside, Xie Yao finally regained her confidence and smiled as she took Gu Qianxue’s hand.
BOOM!
Just when everyone had different feelings and showed them in different ways, something collided with the wall near them causing the wall to shake intensely.
“What happened?” asked Gu Pojun in a deep voice.
“This… Unfortunately, the Nangong Leader’s Lightning World has not yet completely disappeared.” The scientist could only apologize as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. If monsters like these were on the loose out there, it was a miracle that the world had not yet been destroyed! That was what the scientist was thinking to himself.
“Look! The lightning is receding and the image is coming back!” Yang Li’er cried out excitedly as she looked bright-eyed at the screen. Back to Yao Mei’s birthday, the reason why Yang Li’er had panicked when she learned Xie Feng’s identity was because she had once secretly sneaked into her uncle Yang Jie’s office and there she discovered that the person who the culprit of the Demonic Storm event was precisely him!
The images finally became completely clear and they finally got to see the scene inside the room. However, when they finally saw what was happening, none of them could believe it.
“Father!”
“Wentian!”
Nangong Lei opened his eyes wide and shouted together with his mother when they both saw the condition Nangong Wentian was in.
“Yes!”
“I told you! Big brother Xie Feng can’t be defeated by anyone!”
Gu Qianxue tightly clenched her small fists and punched forward as if she was celebrating hitting the lottery. On the other hand, Xie Yao clapped her hands while smiling and her two eyes curved into a crescent moon pattern.
Mu Wuying’s lips lifted slightly, but she did not have any exaggerated reaction compared to the previous two beauties. In fact, she was probably the least worried.
Gu Pojun and the other three patriarchs looked at each other and saw the same expression of disbelief on each other’s faces. None of them could believe that in such a short span of time, a person with a strength capable of rivaling them would actually be in such a condition!
“What was the level of power that Xie Feng released just now!?” Yang Jie directly grabbed the scientist and lifted him into the air as he said loudly.
The scientist turned pale as a sheet and closed his eyes as he said in an agitated voice: “I-I don’t know! T-The equipment can’t calculate it!”
“Nonsense!” Yang Jie threw the scientist to the ground and picked up the tablet himself. However, when he saw the contents, he was so shocked that he didn’t know what to say. In the end, the Yang Family patriarch raised his head and while looking at the other three patriarchs slowly said, “Really…. It can’t be calculated.”
Yang Jie showed the tablet screen and where Xie Feng’s graph was, the only thing everyone saw was the following:
???? Error ????
* * *
“Ugh… W-What happened…?”
Nangong Wentian groaned in pain as he looked forward and held the right side of his body. He had several broken ribs and his organs jerked horribly after being hit by Xie Feng.
“What a pity…”
Xie Feng. who was several kilometers away from Nangong Wentian after punching him, muttered with a look of regret.
Bzzz….
Small snake-sized flashes of lightning flickered over his body.
“Not enough… Not nearly enough.” Xie Feng smiled bitterly as he inspected the cloud of chaotic energy inside his body.
Just like in the past, only the green color representing the wind was fully illuminated. The only difference was that the purple color representing lightning power had become slightly lighter compared to the others, but that was all.
“Even if I absorbed the Lightning World a thousand times more it wouldn’t be enough.” Xie Feng sighed. He had realized that in the beginning, the absorption and control he obtained over the lightning element was really stupendous and great. However, except for the first two or three seconds, the remaining energy couldn’t do too much.
“Oh well… It’s not like I didn’t get rewards anyway.” Xie Feng shrugged and shook off the negative thoughts as a smile hovered at the corner of his mouth.
By bathing in the lightning, his physical body had become at least five times more powerful than in the past. Xie Feng was certain that now, even if he stood there without moving and took Nangong Wentian’s attacks without defending himself, he would not be hurt in the slightest. Moreover, as an additional reward, he also gained some control over the lightning. Even if this could not compare to Nangong Wentian’s power, Xie Feng’s strength had increased another notch.
“And now well…”
Swoosh!
Xie Feng’s body swung and less than a second later he appeared in front of an injured and stupefied Nangong Wentian.
Xie Feng advanced slowly as he said indifferently, “You know what? I hate threats, but I can still tolerate some of them. Unfortunately, I can’t tolerate threats that involve the peace of those I love and the safety of my home…. Well, why explain all this to a person who never had to worry about food or never had to experience how scary a winter day is without warm clothes.”
Nangong Wentian finally began to feel scared. He finally realized that at this rate, he really would die right there!
“DIE!!!”
In an attempt to shake off that panic and without much of a choice, Nangong Wentian once again covered himself in lightning and threw them all towards Xie Feng.
“It’s useless…” Xie Feng shook his head. He didn’t move and let Nangong Wentian’s attack hit him.
BANG!
The ground shook ever so slightly, but under Nangong Wentian’s look of disbelief, his attack hadn’t caused the slightest damage to his enemy.
“I guess it’s time to die for you now…. Oh I’d like to say so, but…” Xie Feng looked towards the far corner of adamantine’s room and slowly said, “If you don’t mind, I’ll really kill him.”
A somewhat tired sigh sounded inside the place and followed by a crackle, a navy blue lightning flash much deeper than Nangong Wentian’s appeared in front of Xie Feng.
Although outwardly Xie Feng had no reaction, he was actually incredibly surprised inside. Fast! This person was incredibly fast! Undoubtedly the fastest person he had seen so far and most importantly of all, Xie Feng was sure that this person was not even trying hard to push his speed!
The deep lightning began to disappear and finally, the figure of an old man appeared. Xie Feng and the old man looked into each other’s eyes with curiosity, silently inspecting each other. Even after their arrival, the old man who looked about 60 years old did not even look at Nangong Wentian once.
The people outside the room were surprised at the change of events. Just when Xie Feng was about to take Nangong Wentian’s life, a person appeared on the scene without their knowledge and sneaked into the adamantine room!
However, Gu Pojun, Yang Jie, Yao Xiyu, and Mu Xue, had a “as expected” look on their faces. Clearly, not too surprised.
In the end, Gu Pojun looked at Xie Feng with a complex look as he said, “It really is my daughter’s blessing to love you and be reciprocated, brat…”
“Now let’s just hope those two don’t fight, otherwise this whole place will definitely be flattened.” Mu Xue said somewhat worried as she looked at Mu Wuying.
