Magical Water Margin: They all call me brother

Page 125

Zhang Shuye also felt his scalp tingle. That golden, swirling iron ball was like the core of a miniature storm that had exploded! It directly pierced through his Thunder General phantom!

The eight hundred cavalrymen, however, were not as capable as the five generals. They were injured or killed by the iron balls. Their limbs were torn off and blood flowed freely. Zhang Qing fired thirty Golden Spinning attacks in succession, and with the help of Gongsun Sheng, they actually managed to temporarily block the decapitation charge of Guan Sheng and the other five generals and eight hundred cavalrymen!

Chapter 355: A Battle of Dragons and Tigers Outside Licheng

While Gongsun Sheng and Zhang Qing were stalling for time, Dai Zong was also traveling rapidly. Guan Sheng sent out three armies as bait, but they were quickly defeated by Huyan Zhuo, Qin Ming, and Hua Rong. At this time, Dai Zong also took out his armored horse and traveled at a supersonic speed of over 1,300 kilometers per hour. Every step he took created a sonic boom.

This is her demonic power; her speed is unparalleled, perhaps only surpassed by a few people like Dong Ping.

However, this was only part of Dai Zong's abilities. She could even tie armor talismans to other people's legs, allowing them to temporarily gain the ability to move at supersonic speeds. At this moment, Hu Yanzhuo, Qin Ming, Hua Rong, and the generals scattered in the other three camps also tied armor talismans to their calves and rushed to the battlefield.

The counterattack has begun.

"Guan Sheng! I am your opponent!!!"

A flash of cold light, and a hundred birds flocked to the phoenix! The eighteen-foot spear pierced through the clamor of the battlefield, like a bolt of lightning tearing silk, stabbing towards Guan Sheng's heart like a venomous snake probing its tongue. This thrust possessed the power to tear apart heaven and earth!

Guan Sheng's figure stood firm like a mountain, his flowing blue-gold battle robe resembling surging thunderclouds. Dragon patterns danced and roared across his heavy armor. He raised his Green Dragon Crescent Blade high, then brought it down heavily on the eighteen-foot spear!

"clang--!!!"

The sound of the two ancient divine weapons colliding was like a giant hammer of chaos, violently shattering the barrier between heaven and earth! The chaotic spearhead of the eighteen-foot serpent spear and the divine iron blade of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade were locked in a fierce struggle, rubbing against each other. The sparks that flew out were not orange-red, but a flash of light with blue and white colors intertwined, flowing wildly.

A visible, devastating shockwave erupted from the point of impact between the two divine weapons. Like a meteorite falling into a pool, it created terrifying ripples, hurling dust, rubble, broken weapons and armor, and even mangled corpses high into the air before hurling them violently to the edge of the battlefield.

The ground, several tens of meters in diameter centered on the two women, suddenly collapsed downwards by an inch, and huge, spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards menacingly. The sky changed violently, with rolling black clouds swirling together and pressing down extremely low, as if they were about to crash directly onto this battlefield.

A deep rumble of thunder rolled from the depths of the earth, gathering momentum. Two terrifying forces clashed and grappled fiercely at the point where their weapons met, like two invisible behemoths roaring and struggling simultaneously inside and outside their bodies!

Countless fine cracks suddenly appeared on Lin Chong's silver armor, as delicate as ice about to thaw. A deep, ferocious roar, seemingly from the depths of the primordial wilderness, rolled suppressedly deep within her slender throat. Guan Ni, on the other hand, was in an even worse state. A crisp "crack" sound came from beneath her cyan-gold battle robe. Her delicate face twitched with suppressed pain, and beneath the skin of her neck, faint blue scales shimmered wildly, each flash bringing a searing pain and a surge of power that penetrated to the bone.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!!!"

Lin Chong brandished his eighteen-foot spear, unleashing a thousand spear shadows. Guan Sheng wielded his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, unleashing a terrifying and dangerous attack. The two fought for thirty rounds without a clear victor. Lin Chong's spear was faster, but Guan Sheng's blade was more ruthless. The two top warriors spun and clashed like a revolving lantern, dazzling the onlookers.

Another clash of guns and swords ensued, and the two men were sent flying backward as if struck by battering rams! They crashed heavily onto the open ground dozens of feet away. The earth thudded with a dull thud, and dust rose into the sky like two small mushroom clouds, momentarily obscuring the sunlight.

"Roar!!!"

The sound of armor shattering echoed from where Lin Chong landed, sending silvery armor plates flying like withered willow branches and broken chrysanthemums. The mushroom cloud surrounding her was instantly torn apart by the violent airflow, revealing a colossal, majestic demonic tiger.

From the smoke and dust on the other side, a dragon's roar, as high-pitched as thunder from the heavens, resounded throughout the land. Where Guan Sheng landed, fragments of his cyan-gold armor flew high into the air. The cyan mist boiled and exploded, dispersing the dust, and from within, the colossal figure of a dragon, obscuring the sky, proudly stretched out!

A dragon and a tiger rolled and pounced in the blood-red mud! The dragon's massive tail swept across like a collapsing mountain ridge, crushing swathes of the crumbling camp walls.

The giant skeletal tiger's claws tore through the thick scales of the dragon's body, each tear splattering countless fragments of scales and dragon blood. Each collision between their massive, bone-armored forms produced a deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, shaking the very foundations of the world. The dragon's roar was like a thousand cannons firing simultaneously, shaking one's very soul; the tiger's howl, carrying the sharp sound of shattering metal and stone, assaulted every inch of space that dared to approach. No one dared to approach the battlefield where these two colossal beasts clashed; even the flying boulders were enough to kill!

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Flower Monk Lu Zhisheng, the Pilgrim Wu Song, and the Double Whip Huyan Zhuo all took to the field. The three generals, without any particular order, rushed onto the battlefield and frantically attacked Lu Junyi. Lu Junyi was so terrifying that it took three generals of the Five Tigers level to barely suppress her. She even had the strength to wield the Golden Dragon Spear, deflecting the weapons of two tiger generals, and then launched a frenzied attack on the third tiger general, forcing her to retreat step by step.

On the other side, Thunderbolt Qin Ming, Little Li Guang Hua Rong, and One-Zhang-Qing Hu Sanniang also joined the fray, circling and fighting Shi Wengong. Even with this formidable combination of one tiger and two steeds, they couldn't suppress Shi Wengong. Their spiked clubs, yin-yang double swords, and halberds created afterimages in the air. Hua Rong withdrew from the battle to use his archery skills to ambush his opponent, but Shi Wengong was incredibly powerful. His halberd spun like a windmill, managing to deflect Qin Ming's Hellfire bombardment! Hu Sanniang's double sword strikes and Little Li Guang's archery skills were also formidable.

Li Cunxiao, the young courier, soared high in the sky, using his thunderous breath in conjunction with Gongsun Sheng's Five Thunder Orthodox Technique to suppress Thunder General Zhang Shuye and Thunder General Yun Tianbiao, who had rushed over to provide support.

With the protection of the Thunder Net, Zhang Qing focused on sniping the dual-wielding general Dong Ping. This guy was indeed difficult to stop, but it didn't matter. Dong Ping had a significant weakness: when she charged at light speed, she couldn't turn. Zhang Qing took advantage of this weakness and used Golden Spin to restrict Dong Ping's light-speed collision.

Even so, the Liangshan troops still couldn't suppress Guan Sheng's charge and only managed a draw.

Liu Hong was somewhat anxious. Apart from Luan Tingyu, who was still recovering from serious injuries, all of Liangshan's elite troops had been deployed, yet they still couldn't defeat Guan Sheng and his generals!

Just then, a voice slowly rang out from the reverse scale on his right hand.

"As I said, my concept is the Ji River, Thunder, and Shadow. As long as you can bring me enough Thunder Generals, I can make you stronger."

Liu Hong's expression changed, and he immediately looked at the two Thunder Generals in the distance, Zhang Shuye and Yun Tianbiao. Although their combat power was on par with Hu Yanzhuo and Qin Ming, they were much easier to deal with compared to Lu Junyi and Shi Wengong, who were practically invincible. If he killed them first, he could obtain the power of the Thunder Generals and further enhance his own combat power!

Chapter 356: Thunderous Cannons Pacify the Four Seas

Thinking of this, Liu Hong suddenly raised his right hand, which had been hanging by his side. In the center of his palm, a small scale suddenly came to life, emitting a sickening metallic sound as it rapidly expanded and formed.

In an instant, a colossal, suffocating cannon tore through space and was held in Liu Hong's palm. The cannon barrel was pitch black, but it was not dull and lifeless. Shadows flowed across its surface, and countless tiny, stardust-like, flickering golden lightning bolts rose and fell within it, as if they were forged from the entire chaotic celestial river. The muzzle was deep and dark, as if it connected to the darkest abyss, exuding a chilling deathly intent towards the towering, mountain-like lightning giant.

Once the cannon was fired, Liu Hong infused it with the power of the stars, and the next moment, a dazzling burst of fire erupted violently from the muzzle!

No, those are not firelight, but stars symbolizing destruction, summoned from the ancient ends of the sky, breaking free from the shackles of gravity, and unleashing their divine punishment of destruction upon this place!

Heavenly Cannon!

A dense array of celestial and terrestrial meteors, trailing hissing, shrill blue phosphorescent flames, resembled a god splashing ink across the sky, instantly obscuring everything in sight. At the core of each meteorite lay a raging will powerful enough to shake mountains and an intense heat capable of incinerating everything. Starlight poured down relentlessly, with the force of light-years, towards the thunderous giant!

Zhang Shuye, controlling the Thunder Giant, unleashed a deafening roar, a roar accompanied by the thunderous boom of the heavens, shaking the surrounding mountains and causing rocks to tumble down. Its massive arms swung skyward, attempting to stir the boiling sea of ​​lightning around it. Countless thick, silver-white lightning pythons converged violently, trying to weave a giant net of lightning to counter the galactic torrent pouring down from the void.

"boom!!!"

Amidst a deafening roar, the falling stars crashed into the very front of the lightning net, colliding violently with the raging lightning dragon! There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the muffled, terrifying sounds of countless stones grinding against bones, a sound of grinding, melting, and shattering.

The dazzling plasma was shattered, torn apart, and instantly vaporized by the impact of the dark star stream! The purplish-black meteor, carrying a despairing heat and immense weight, crashed violently onto the giant's lightning-covered, scaled body like billions of red-hot hammers!

Destroy everything!

The seemingly indestructible lightning armor, like a red-hot iron plunged into grease, groaned as it was smashed into countless enormous, molten holes. Zhang Shuye's lightning arm, imbued with the power of heaven and earth, was torn apart head-on by a massive, sky-piercing torrent of light. Before the fragments could even scatter, they were completely vaporized and annihilated by the rushing flood of light. The entire giant lightning arm crashed to the ground, shattering into a cascade of electric currents that surged and roared in all directions.

The thunder's mournful cry, like a mountain collapsing, resounded through the sky, only to be mercilessly drowned out by the even more violent sound of falling stars.

On its enormous body, countless scorching holes were melted through, and the golden lightning snakes were mercilessly crushed, torn apart, and broken by the surging starlight, emitting a final, mournful, and hopeless shriek before finally dimming, shattering, and dissolving completely into that boundless radiance of destruction.

Without pause, only devouring. The galaxy-like streams of light, like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, pierced through the entire massive body of the Thunder Giant!

When the last streak of purple flame exhausted its energy, it vanished silently like a firework deep within the smoke and dust. The wind seemed to stand still, sweeping across the shattered mountains and scorched earth of the battlefield, stirring up the dust and scorching smoke that filled the sky and earth. Huge, charred fragments were scattered over a radius of several miles, among which the mountain-like ribs and severed arms of Thunder General still faintly remained, but all had been melted by the high temperature, turning into twisted, black alloy remains, emitting a faint sizzling warmth, like the remains of Thunder General after being thrown into a furnace and burned to ashes.

The thunder general's image, which stretched from the sky to the earth, was shattered by Liu Hong's all-out Heavenly Gang Cannon attack!

Liu Hong was filled with emotion. When he first became the leader of Liangshan, any one of the Thunder Generals could push him to the brink of defeat. He almost lost his life in order to break through the Thunder General's powerful and godlike appearance, and only won by fighting to the death.

Now, the terrifying giant whose defensive power was so high that it made the Liangshan generals despair and none of them could break its divine body can now be shattered by my full-force attack!

Liu Hong retracted his wings and swooped down. The coiled dragon staff swept across with a dull, menacing wind. The ancient and ferocious coiled dragon patterns on the dark staff seemed to come alive, flowing with a cold, eerie light as it was swung at high speed, and smashed hard towards Zhang Shuye's head!

Without Lei Jiang's protection, Zhang Shuye's pair of Thunder God Whips had transformed into two pale and dazzling streaks of lightning, crossing each other with a whistling sound that tore through the air.

"block!!!"

The sound of the strike was dull and heavy, far exceeding the clear, resonant quality expected of a weapon clash. Liu Hong, being stronger and amplified by his charge, managed to deflect the Dragon-Piercing Staff, though it was only partially deflected by the pair of thunder whips. The staff still struck Zhang Shuye's left arm, which, despite the thunder whips' deflection, was instantly dented inward by the steel-forged Beast-Swallowing Shoulder Armor, creating a clear, deep crater. Countless cracks spread outwards like a spiderweb! The crisp sound of bones shattering was forcibly suppressed beneath the even deeper impact, leaving only a muffled, blood-tinged groan forced from the throat.

Zhang Shuye staggered backward, but the Thunder God Whip in his right hand, carrying all his anger and excruciating pain, transformed into a vertical bolt of lightning, striking Liu Hongtian's head! The distance was too close, and the speed was too fast!

Liu Hongmeng jerked his head and turned to the side, the tip of the lightning whip, imbued with terrifying destructive power, grazing his temple. The smell of burning flesh and a few strands of gray hair flew up at the same time! The scorching electric sparks scorched his flesh, instantly leaving a terrible, half-finger-wide, charred, and cracked wound. Crimson blood mixed with the oil from the burning skin immediately boiled and seeped out from the charred edges, flowing into his tightly furrowed brow bone. The excruciating pain was like an ice pick piercing his skull!

Liu Hong's eyes were instantly filled with bloodlust and killing intent. Instead of retreating, he followed the momentum of the staff, lowered his waist and spun around. The coiled dragon staff seemed to be another violent spine erupting from the depths of his body, wailing as it rose from below and struck Zhang Shuye's vulnerable ribs! That was the blind spot that Zhang Shuye's fractured left arm had just left unguarded!

"Oh!"

Solid! The protruding tip of the club pierced deep into the flesh, even carrying fragments of armor plates. The clear sound of bones shattering finally exploded without any obstruction. Zhang Shuye's tall body was thrown three inches off the ground, and a mouthful of hot, viscous blood gushed out from between his teeth, splashing onto Liu Hong's contorted face and neck, warm, sticky, and metallic in color. He felt as if he had been struck by an invisible giant hammer, and as he fell backward, he vomited blood again, the blood even mixed with fragments of internal organs!

But his ferocity as a Thunder General was fully unleashed in his near-death experience! In the instant he lost his balance and fell backward, his newly shattered left arm, driven by his muscles and will, transformed into a strange streak of light that pierced Liu Hong's chest and heart at an incredible angle!

The pale tip of the Thunder God Whip, carrying a scorching, burnt stench, mingled with the smell of hot blood gushing from Zhang Shuye's chest, shattered the Shadow Scale Dragon Armor woven by the Reverse Scale with a single blow. The shock also caused Liu Hong to cough up blood, his chest caved into a deep crater of death. The terrifying golden lightning made his flesh almost transparent, and his bones were clearly visible amidst the deafening roar of thunder!

The two madmen were both seriously injured after only three moves.

Chapter 357: Uncle Zhang Dies Wrapped in Horsehide

"Brother, don't panic! I'm here to help you!!!"

The strategist Wu Yong stood at the center of the blood-red array, his scholar's robe billowing like a sea of ​​clouds. His jade fingers flew, and his red lips parted. The vast and powerful spiritual energy actually condensed into six dark and ancient beast-faced jade pendants, which floated in front of him. He then unleashed six spells in a row!

Hua Rong, also known as Little Li Guang, rushed to the aid. She abandoned her attack on Shi Wengong and unleashed a barrage of deadly arrows that blotted out the sky. She alone delivered the firepower of a hundred archers. The rain of arrows falling from the sky managed to suppress Zhang Shuye and Yun Tianbiao, the two Thunder Generals, in a short time, giving Liu Hong time to heal with his spiritual energy and Wu Yong time to amplify his spiritual energy.

As the first spell was channeled into Liu Hong's body, his form stiffened like a bow, the bluish-black veins in his neck bulging and snaking like earthworms. Thick blood mixed with charred skin flakes violently gushed out from every cracked pore! The scorched earth beneath his feet hissed, instantly soaking into a dark red mud. What flowed within Liu Hong's body was no longer blood, but pure subspace psionic energy. He seemed like a demon returning from the depths of his soul's sea; instead of dripping downwards, the streams of blood rose upwards.

[Sixth Ring Confucianism - Spiritual Energy Ascension]: Consumes 11 points of spiritual energy, transforming the entire body into a pure spiritual energy form, immune to physical attacks, and with a 50% chance of missing a magic attack.

At the same time, a stream of blazing blue liquid flames suddenly erupted from deep within Liu Hong's torn wound! The flames twisted and danced wildly, licking his exposed dark red tendons and broken bone fragments, emitting a hissing sound like boiling oil. The blazing blue flames, like a shroud of fiery inferno, tightly enveloped Liu Hong.

[Sixth Ring Confucianism - Hellfire Robe]: Consumes 11 points of spiritual energy, covering the entire body with Confucian fire, granting immunity to fire, dealing 11 points of flame damage to all surrounding targets each turn, and reflecting 11 points of flame damage when attacked by melee attacks.

Not only that, but large swaths of bluish-green frost spread wildly upwards from his scorched feet, every inch of flesh emitting a faint crackling sound like shattered glass amidst the interplay of ice and fire. Wherever the ice crystals passed, the filthy blood congealed like blood coral, and the steaming flesh was forcibly frozen into pale white icicles. The icy armor of frost and the blazing, furious armor of hellfire merged perfectly together!

[Sixth Ring Confucianism - Frost Armor]: Consumes 11 points of spiritual energy, Physical Defense +11, Spiritual Energy Resistance +11, Damage Reduction +11.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and six ferocious lightning snakes instantly coiled around his body, transforming into five lightning tentacles that stretched out from his back, creating five towering and terrifying giant tail shadows in the sky.

[Sixth Ring Confucianism - Thunder Mutation]: Consumes 11 points of spiritual energy to gain five thunder tentacles, which can perform five additional attacks each round, each dealing 1 to 20 points of thunder damage and having a chance to paralyze.

Wu Yong took a breath and cast two more psionic spells: Perfect Shaping and Star Cloak. The former increased Liu Hong's attributes by 4, while the latter added a cloak embroidered with 108 stars to Liu Hong's Frost Armor and Hellfire Garment, greatly increasing his defense!

At this moment, Liu Hong also used his chivalrous power to heal his wounds, while Zhang Shuye's lightning strike, though powerful, could not heal him and he remained severely injured. He could only watch as Liu Hong, empowered by Wu Yong's numerous spells, transformed into an even more terrifying killing god, charging towards him step by step!

Even more terrifying was the arrival of the Mischievous Demon King Fan Rui and the Divine Strategist Zhu Wu, both clad in leg armor, from other camps to join the battle. They too hid within Gongsun Sheng's protective array, unleashing their magic with abandon. Before Zhang Shuye could even confront Liu Hong, he discovered that the ground beneath his feet had transformed into the gaping maws of abyssal worms! The Mischievous Demon King used a spell that brought the earth beneath Zhang Shuye's feet to life, and layers upon layers of worm-like mouths mercilessly bit into his legs, restricting his movements!

"Heavenly—Gang—Slash!"

Liu Hong's roar burst forth from the depths of his chest, completely unlike a human voice, like the roar of a giant beast in the wilderness, shaking the entire battlefield!

Following in the footsteps of his master, Professor Zhou Tong, Liu Hong moved with his staff. The heavy dragon-coiled staff seemed weightless, swung lightly. Yet, this seemingly effortless swing transformed Liu Hong's entire body into a bolt of golden lightning that tore through the eternal night! His speed was extreme, leaving only a terrifying afterimage that slowly dissipated, violently radiating golden flames!

"not good!!!"

Yun Tianbiao was on the verge of collapse and wanted to return to help, but the strategist Zhu Wu also seized the opportunity to exert his power and directly used a freezing spell. A huge golden "fixed" character suddenly appeared above Yun Tianbiao's head, and beams of golden lightning spread and wrapped around his limbs and bones, forcibly freezing his steps.

"You dare to show off your meager skills before an expert?!"

Yun Tianbiao roared, and terrifying golden lightning exploded from his body. Amidst the intense light and thunderstorm, he forcefully shattered Zhu Wu's immobilization spell. But the next second, an even larger "immobilize" character appeared above her head, halting Yun Tianbiao's charge. The next instant, a smaller "immobilize" character appeared again. The double immobilization spell simultaneously restricted Yun Tianbiao's charge, giving Liu Hong time to kill him—it was none other than the strategist Wu Yong!

At this moment, the dark sky was torn open by this blow, leaving a hideous, unhealable gaping hole. Deep within the crack was not nothingness, but countless stars that shone so brightly they sent shivers down one's spine! A true galaxy! Vast and boundless, cold and eternal light instantly blanketed the earth.

Where the staff pointed, several cold stars in the dazzling starry river suddenly burst forth with fierce light that pierced through the eternal darkness, and accelerated their fall towards Zhang Shuye.

Meteors! Those were real stars, carrying the power to destroy the world! Not illusions! They tore through the sky, leaving dazzling white tails that stretched across the entire battlefield, crashing down with the speed and destructive force of ending all things! Their target was only one—Zhang Shuye, who was being held firmly in place by the Demon King!

The world lost its color, and all sound fell silent. At this moment, only the destructive beam of light that pierced through heaven and earth remained!

Under the starlight, bright enough to burn one's soul, Zhang Shuye's face turned deathly pale, as if it were made of paper, and his heavy black iron armor lost all its color. His throat bobbed, and he tried to shout angrily, to urge his double whips to block, but the sound seemed to be strangled deep in his throat by an invisible giant hand.

But before this overwhelming force, the mortal's cold iron was laughably insignificant. The last thing reflected in his eyes was a pure white light that could burn away even the most divine soul! The fear that burst in his pupils was as clear as a brand.

White light! Endless white light! Carrying the absolute heat of a star's core, it completely engulfed Zhang Shuye!

He, his warhorse, and everything within a dozen feet around him—the blood-stained grass and trees, the cold earth and stones, even the lingering stench of blood—all vanished silently and utterly in that supremely pure light and heat. Not pulverized, not melted, but directly sublimated and disintegrated into the most primordial energy dust! That blazing white pillar of light, like a divine judgment, slammed fiercely into the earth!

boom! ! !

Two full seconds passed before the deafening roar, powerful enough to crush internal organs, finally reverberated, and the earth arched upwards like the back of a sleeping dragon! A visible shockwave, composed of pure destructive energy, swept outwards in a tsunami-like frenzy from the point of impact! Wherever it passed, the ground was torn apart, cracked, and reduced to scorched earth. Soldiers who managed to survive on the outer perimeter were instantly blown away and tossed about like withered grass in a storm, their bones snapping upon impact!

The flames receded, like the receding tide.

Where Zhang Shuye had just stood, a huge, bowl-shaped pit suddenly appeared! The soil and rocks at the edge of the pit had an eerie vitrification, flowing with a dark red halo like molten gold, and wisps of terrifying blue smoke rose up with a heat that could burn the soul.

The center of the deep pit was empty.

Zhang Shuye, along with his warhorse, left not a trace. Only in the darkness, a black dragon greedily devoured all the Thunder General's divine power.

Chapter 358: Liu Xianzhong Leaps Over the Dragon Gate

"Traitor! How dare you!!!"

Seeing Zhang Shuye mercilessly killed in front of him, Yun Tianbiao was also furious. Fan Rui, Zhu Wu and others could not compare with Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong in terms of combat power, but their magic was unpredictable and ever-changing. Their interference at critical moments could also reverse the battle!

With no other option, Yun Tianbiao had to get serious. Suddenly, the sky darkened, and thick, inky clouds churned and roared from all directions, obliterating the daylight and leaving only a suffocating, iron-gray cloud pressing down on the city! The air was as thick as congealed blood, and every breath carried a heavy, rusty stench that made the throats of the surrounding soldiers ache.

The howling wind stopped, and the chirping of insects and birds vanished. The entire scorching battlefield fell into a deathly stillness, like the last breath before the final judgment. Countless faces covered in blood and dust involuntarily raised their heads to look up at the leaden gray sky that seemed to be crushing the earth as it lowered. Even generals like Lu Junyi and Shi Wengong looked at Yun Tianbiao in surprise, not expecting that this kid could make such a commotion.

Yun Tianbiao stood alone in this solidified center of fear. His face was as red as a jujube, with phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, a flowing beard, and he wore a green robe and golden armor.

Without uttering a word, he suddenly raised a Green Dragon Crescent Blade identical to Guan Sheng's. The blade instantly unleashed an unprecedentedly fierce and terrifying light, its tip transforming into a lightning-attracting needle, spraying out a myriad of rays of light towards the inverted ink-sea-like sky!

"Great General of the Eight Directions of Thunder Clouds of the Righteous Heart Thunder Palace! Obey my decree!!!"

The next instant, from the depths of the churning, almost burning, turbid clouds, an enormous, circular vortex opened without warning! The vortex's edges were filled with boiling, lead-gray clouds, while its center was a blindingly pure, almost ethereal, radiant gold! Within the vortex, immeasurable golden lightning surged, twisted, and exploded violently! It was a pure pool of lightning belonging to divine punishment!

In the blinding light, countless bolts of lightning, a hundred times thicker than beams and pillars, carrying destructive power, were twisting and condensing at the center of the vortex in the sky, emitting deafening, viscous hissing sounds, as if countless molten iron were being forged in the void!

An outline, an outline so enormous it defies comprehension, is forcibly solidifying amidst the vast lightning. A terrifying lightning general, towering above the heavens and earth, descends upon the battlefield, accompanied by a suffocating sense of oppression and a bloodlust!

It was so enormous that even the Thunder Generals and Giant Spirits summoned by Da Dao Wen Da, Zhang Shu Ye, and Luan Ting Yu were as small as children in front of it.

It stands tall and imposing, its height surpassing any pavilion or palace commonly seen in this world, reaching twenty or thirty meters. In its shadow, the distant city of Licheng is merely a small hill. It is like a living mountain with destructive electric light, completely enveloping Yun Tianbiao in its core of liquid lightning!

This colossus has no fixed form. Its body is formed from countless viscous, churning, and inextinguishable liquid lightning bolts, the lightning displaying a violent, brilliant gold color, forming the core muscles and bones, while its surface is covered with layers upon layers of enormous, suffocating golden lightning, forged into immortal armor plates.

Yun Tianbiao waved his hand violently, and the Thunder General's right hand suddenly lit up with even more terrifying golden lightning. Countless extremely thick streams of destructive lightning twisted and shaped wildly, instantly condensing into a crimson and blazing white Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, almost as tall as the giant god, with its entire body in a semi-molten state. The edge of the blade viscously rolled and dripped scorching lightning paste. Each drop that hit the ground instantly eroded a charred hole burning with azure-gold flame. The incandescent temperature of the blade caused the surrounding space to violently distort and deform, as if looking at an object through a burning flame.
