Chapter 613: Chapter 613 Thunder Method Cleansing the Ground_1
Li Qing sneered, having been somewhat concerned that Black Arrow might not be able to handle this ugly creature.
But looking at the current situation, Black Arrow indeed seemed to have some trouble dealing with him.
However, when it comes to playing dirty tricks, that’s my specialty.
Li Qing uttered an obscure and difficult syllable from his mouth, and instantly a bolt of lightning tore across the sky.
In this enclosed space, the sound of thunder was like the earth shattering.
Accompanied by a crackling sound, purple lightning instantly swept through the black fog,
The once aggressive black fog, under the power of Heavenly Punishment, receded instantly like a mouse that had seen a cat.
The Tomb Exploiter Zhenren hiding within the black fog also revealed his true movements.
The main attack of the purple sky thunder was directed at the puppet in his hands, but it didn’t spare the man either.
At this moment, he was wrapped in dense lightning, his hair standing on end, and his ugly cheeks shook crazily.
"Ugly thing, want the Elixir Recipe of the Solidifying Spirit Elixir, huh? Do you think you can handle such a thing?" Li Qing emerged from behind the tunnel, "And dare to feed your disciple chicken right in front of me, you damn fool, are you a real dog?"
"You... who are you? I am the Tomb Exploiter Zhenren from Immortal Valley, don’t bring disaster upon yourself. I advise you to hand over the Elixir Recipe obediently, and I shall spare the lives of both you and your friend," said the Tomb Exploiter Zhenren, surrounded by purple lightning, yet his gaze was haughty and his tone was far from humble.
Li Qing mocked with a cold look, "Ugly thing, don’t you want to take a look at yourself first?"
"Brat, you probably don’t know what Immortal Valley is, do you?" said the Tomb Exploiter Zhenren with a cold voice.
Li Qing, feigning sudden realization, exclaimed in surprise, "From what you’re saying, are you suggesting that you, ugly creature, have a sect backing you? So if I kill you now, a bunch of old geezers will jump out to kill me, is that it?"
"Brat, you have some insight," the Tomb Explorer Daoist said proudly, "Just hand over the Elixir Recipe of the Solidifying Spirit Elixir and kneel before me as my disciple, and I can overlook your past actions and spare your life."
"Tsk tsk, you sure have beautiful dreams, ugly thing!" Li Qing said shaking his head, "But I heard that all your dark arts were dug out from graves. What kind of sect do you have? Stop pretending to be a big shot in front of me."
"You might as well try!" said Tomb Explorer Daoist with a stern face, "Don’t think that just because you know some Thunder Method, you can do anything to me. I just saw that you were a promising youth and took an interest in nurturing talent, and that’s the only reason I spared your life."
Li Qing had seen his fair share of the world, but he had never come across someone so shamelessly brazen.
"Great, Immortal Valley, is it? I’ll pay a visit," said Li Qing coldly, "By the looks of it, Immortal Valley isn’t any reputable right-path sect! Ugly thing, do you know you’ve brought trouble to your sect? If they knew that you were swaggering around and getting them involved, they might not seek revenge for you but would instead pulverize your bones and scatter your ashes."
"It sounds like you’re the only one with a sect here. I have a sect too, you think the Solidifying Spirit Elixir is something just anybody can come up with? Idiot! Not only do I have a sect, but I’m also certified. If you have the guts, come and bite me!"
"Damn, listening to you, ugly thing, is truly disgusting," Li Qing said.
The face of the Tomb Explorer Daoist suddenly changed.
He had previously wondered whether Lü Zong had the backing of a sect, but after investigating and learning that Lü Zong was using the Solidifying Spirit Elixir to brew liquor on a fluke, he didn’t take the matter to heart.
All his skills were plundered from the tombs of the dead, and he knew that many Elixir Recipes and techniques were scattered in the world.
But he had not expected to hear such words from Li Qing’s mouth.
His gaze uncertain, he stared at Li Qing and demanded, "Brat, which school does your master belong to?"
"You? You’re not worthy of knowing!" replied Li Qing, sneering disdainfully, as he suddenly uttered another obscure syllable.
Suddenly thunder resounded out of nowhere.
White lightning, like a silver whip, crackled and directly struck at the Tomb Explorer Daoist.
The Tomb Explorer Daoist’s complexion changed dramatically, "This..."
"This be damned, die!" Li Qing instantly activated Black Arrow.
The instant the white lightning struck, Black Arrow also stabbed towards the Tomb Explorer Daoist’s head.
Amid the glaring light, a piercing scream rang out.
The hysterical voice sounded far more miserable than the slaughter of a pig.
Although the brunt of the Heavenly Punishment’s lightning was concentrated on the Tomb Explorer Daoist, others also received their share of attention.
Lü Zong and the Tomb Explorer Daoist were looked after to a similar degree.
Although struck, it seemed non-fatal at first glance.
What caught Li Qing off guard was that Shisan, that yellow-haired kid, also got his fair share, and even more so than Lü Zong and that woman.
The lad was zapped into a torrent of peculiar screams.
Li Qing looked at him with a strange gaze—what had this guy done to suffer even more than Lü Zong?
Fortunately, it was clear that none of the strikes were fatal, probably just a form of chastisement.
The lightning of the Heavenly Punishment receded.
But to Li Qing’s utter astonishment, the Tomb Explorer Daoist who was only burnt on the outside but tender within, actually didn’t die.
The already ugly face was seared with black scorch marks by the lightning, looking ferocious and terrifying.
"Didn’t expect he’d actually have some skills, to survive something like that!" Li Qing was somewhat surprised in his heart.
It seemed that the status of Qi Cultivation Peak wasn’t achieved easily, to withstand such a vicious Heavenly Punishment.
Moreover, he distinctly felt the Black Arrow pass through the body, yet it failed to blow the brains out of this ugly creature.
"You brat, you’ve destroyed my life-saving Magic Artifact, I’ll definitely flay you alive, draw out your tendons, and shatter your corpse into a thousand pieces!" the Tomb Explorer Daoist roared ferociously.
"Let’s see how many Thunder Method Talismans you have, die!"
The Tomb Exploiter Zhenren, whose clothes had all been blasted off, swung his palm down towards Li Qing.
"Then you’re in for a disappointment, because I indeed have more!" Li Qing’s expression became somewhat solemn, and he uttered another arcane syllable.
In the instant that the rolling white lightning engulfed them, he repeated his trick and triggered the Black Arrow again.
He refused to believe that, with the help of Heavenly Punishment, he couldn’t deal with someone at the Qi Cultivation Peak.
He believed Heavenly Punishment might fail to kill masters of the caliber of Xuan Chen Zhenren and Dian Chunqiu.
But if it couldn’t even kill someone at the Qi Cultivation Peak, that would be a bit too much.
A loud bang echoed.
In the moment the thunderstrike fell, Tomb Exploiter Zhenren exploded.
Li Qing didn’t even get a chance to take action, and the Black Arrow didn’t even reach his front.
This...
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, wasn’t that a bit too quick of a turnaround?
The guy was so arrogant just now, and Li Qing thought it might take some effort.
But then, just like that, the man was gone!
And it was the kind of disappearance where one turns to ash and vanishes completely, reduced to nothing but air.
Li Qing found the outcome somewhat incomprehensible.
