[Little Gou has been diligently writing books all these years, never missing an update even for a day. Maybe not the most industrious, but certainly responsible at heart, so I hope brothers and sisters can introduce this to friends and subscribe to support, thank you!]Boom!
A dull sound reverberated as the little snake, formed by the power of yellow lightning entwined around Ye Tianchen, was nearly blasted away. Yet, a formidable force ultimately surged, clinging tightly to Ye Tianchen, causing him to frown as not even the power of his physical body could shatter this yellow lightning power!
"This yellow lightning power is surprisingly strong, even my physical strength can’t entirely shatter it!" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
"You kid seriously underestimate these powers of lightning with different colors. They are definitely extraordinary, and thinking to easily shatter them is impossible. You better think of another way!" Baixiao Old Madman’s voice emerged from the humanoid pit!
"I say, old madman senior, if you have a method, please help me out. Wasting time like this isn’t benefiting either of us, don’t you think?" Ye Tianchen asked, a bit displeased.
"Hey, don’t blame me. If this yellow lightning power were chasing me, I would shatter it without a second thought. But since it’s been after you all this time, there’s nothing I can do. You better rely on yourself!" Baixiao Old Madman chuckled while speaking.
"I..." Ye Tianchen was frustrated, but he also knew that Baixiao Old Madman was retaliating against his earlier inaction. It was likely that the old madman shared the same mindset, wanting to see just how strong Ye Tianchen truly was!
Ye Tianchen looked at the yellow lightning power coiled around him, frowned, then managed a faint smile because he thought of a solution. Since this yellow lightning power continuously absorbed his Martial Arts True Power, why couldn’t he reverse the process and absorb it instead? After all, Ye Tianchen had even survived the purple Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation, would he still fear this yellow lightning power?
Buzz!
Suddenly, as Ye Tianchen contemplated this idea, he immediately took action, activating the Martial Arts True Qi within him to counteract. In an instant, he absorbed the little snake formed by this yellow lightning power into his body, astonishing the Baixiao Old Madman, who had just peeked his head out. "Wow, you kid absorbed such a powerful lightning power into your body, do you have a death wish?"
"I’ve refined it!" Ye Tianchen said confidently.
"Refine lightning power inside your body? Even with strong physical body power, that’s a tough feat, isn’t it?" Baixiao Old Madman asked in disbelief.
"Uh..." Ye Tianchen was about to speak when a puff of yellow smoke spewed from his mouth, a consequence of refining the yellow lightning power!
"Well? Now you believe it’s true, right?" Ye Tianchen asked with a confident demeanor.
"You truly impress me, choosing you to come along on this adventure was the right decision!" Baixiao Old Madman laughed heartily.
"I say, old madman senior, don’t forget what you promised me, speak truthfully, no holding back!" Ye Tianchen said, looking at the Baixiao Old Madman.
"Don’t worry, once we break this third barrier, we’ll reach what I have longed for, and if you help me obtain it, I will certainly answer all your questions!" Baixiao Old Madman said with utmost sincerity.
Bang!
As Ye Tianchen and Baixiao Old Madman conversed, a shudder echoed from the talisman that had always loomed above their heads. A gigantic green spider crawled out of the talisman, its eight huge and slender legs flailing wildly, leaving both Ye Tianchen and Baixiao Old Madman stunned, causing them to involuntarily take a step back!
"Damn, the things within this talisman are just too powerful. Three different colors of lightning powers have already appeared, and now this giant spider appears. What’s it planning? I’m going to keep resting!" Baixiao Old Madman said, already preparing to slip away!
"Hey old senior, you can’t just leave like this..." Ye Tianchen hadn’t finished speaking when Baixiao Old Madman was ready to hide in the humanoid pit below!
Bam!
Who would have thought, just as Baixiao Old Madman attempted to take refuge below, the gigantic green spider, having charged out from the talisman, swung one of its claws and struck the humanoid pit, preventing Baixiao Old Man from getting inside. With a loud crash, the green spider destroyed the pit completely, leaving no option for Baixiao Old Madman to hide!
"Damn, that’s just ruthless!" Baixiao Old Madman couldn’t help but curse.
"Hahaha, old senior, you can’t hide now, can you? And it seems like that green spider is targeting you specifically!" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"Not at all, not at all. Kid, look above your own head..." Baixiao Old Madman reminded Ye Tianchen.
Hearing Baixiao Old Madman’s words, Ye Tianchen instinctively looked up to see a long green spider leg had somehow suspended above him, long ready to strike. As Ye Tianchen looked up, the leg descended like a sharp sword. He quickly dodged, and after evading this spider leg, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but look in surprise!
Because, the green spider leg didn’t hit him, but pierced into the void, even puncturing through it, which stood testament to the power of this strike. If struck, it would certainly be deadly!
"We cannot let this giant spider run rampant; let’s cut off one of its legs first!" exclaimed the crazy old man, Bai Xiao, to Ye Tianchen.
"Alright!" Ye Tianchen thought that he couldn’t let this green spider be arrogant, so he immediately transformed his right hand into a blade and chopped down!
Thud!
With a swift motion, one of the legs of the green spider was severed by Ye Tianchen, but instead of blood gushing out, a green lightning power burst forth and charged toward Ye Tianchen!
Smack!
Ye Tianchen quickly struck the green lightning power with a palm, repelling it. At that moment, several more green spider legs attacked, prompting Ye Tianchen to swiftly retreat next to the crazy old man, Bai Xiao. Looking at the green spider that emerged from the talisman, he remarked, "It’s not a real entity; it’s formed by the power of thunder and lightning!"
"Hmm, it seems like the person who set up this formation is quite skilled. After the nine Black Gold Mysterious Iron pillars shattered, the lead element of this formation is the Thunder Talisman, which can release different colored powers of thunder and lightning. These powers can materialize and launch strong attacks, not to be underestimated!" Bai Xiao said with a frown.
"We need to resolve this quickly and take the initiative. We cannot wait for this talisman to release its power continuously while we can only defend; otherwise, it might never end!" Ye Tianchen contemplated aloud.
"Then let’s strike first since I have nowhere to hide now!" Bai Xiao said in frustration.
Ye Tianchen glanced at Bai Xiao without saying anything, but both of them felt the crisis. The talisman hanging above them increasingly released stronger powers, which could spell danger for them. Being constantly passive was not a good strategy; instead, taking the initiative to smash the talisman would disrupt the entire thunder array!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh...
Just as Ye Tianchen and Bai Xiao prepared to attack, the massive green lightning-formed spider struck first, attacking with its eight giant green spider legs like sharp swords, attempting to kill Ye Tianchen and Bai Xiao in one blow!
Bang! Bang! Bang...
The eight green spider legs crashed down, but Ye Tianchen and Bai Xiao dodged them all. As the spider legs pierced through the void, Ye Tianchen and Bai Xiao began their counterattack!
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
All eight green spider legs were cut off by Ye Tianchen and Bai Xiao. As they hadn’t completely regenerated yet, both focused their Martial Arts True Qi and punched towards the green spider’s head. Seeing Ye Tianchen and Bai Xiao attacking, the green spider opened its mouth and spewed out a blast of green lightning power to strike them down!
Crash!
Within the formation came a muffled sound. The spider formed by green lightning power couldn’t withstand the combined assault of Ye Tianchen and Bai Xiao and was pulverized instantly!
"Let’s go!"
"Alright!"
After the green spider was destroyed, Ye Tianchen and Bai Xiao exchanged glances and then flew towards the talisman above. They aimed to smash the talisman together to thoroughly resolve the crisis, hoping to break open the thunder array!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
However, just as Ye Tianchen and Bai Xiao approached the talisman to eradicate the threat, two cyan thunder sword lights slashed down, forcing them to dodge and suspend their attack, leaving them hanging in mid-air!
"A cyan sword?" Ye Tianchen muttered with a frown.
"It seems to be formed by the power of thunder and lightning, but this sword looks a bit unusual!" Bai Xiao mumbled in surprise.
"No matter what, we can’t let this stop us. We must smash the talisman!" Ye Tianchen resolutely clenched his fist and said. (To be continued.
