Chapter 4926 — Thunder Explosion
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
From the North Island? The two Dingcheng Academy altar masters were taken aback for a moment, then visibly relieved. A mere North Island disciple—forget stripping his cultivation, even killing him on the spot would cause no trouble at all. Surely Shangguan Tianxia would not journey all the way to the East Continent to kick up a fuss over a single North Island disciple?
"Listen well, all of you—today we punish only this brat and his insolent tongue. If anyone else interferes, don't blame us if fists and feet fly without mercy!" The two altar masters' expressions turned grim, and they moved at once to strike Wei Zhao.
Wang Xinyan and the others felt their hearts sink and hurried to shield Wei Zhao, but he only gave a light laugh and waved them off. "You lot step back and enjoy the show. I've been itching for a bit of exercise."
Huh? Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao exchanged a stunned look. Seeing that Wei Zhao truly showed not a trace of nerves, they glanced at one another and retreated behind him. Much as they had absolute faith in his strength, an early Xuan Ascension fighter against two late Xuan Ascension ones—wasn't that gap a little too wide?
As for Lu Xiaozhong, he withdrew with admirable briskness. He was no fool; he did not fear trouble, but that did not mean he truly did not fear death. Since Wei Zhao himself had said to just watch the show, naturally he would not be so silly as to stand in front and serve as cannon fodder.
"Heh, a mere North Island disciple, and such a big mouth." The two altar masters laughed outright. They took Wei Zhao for one of those frogs at the bottom of a well who had never seen the world—a petty tyrant in some backwater like the North Island, imagining he could rampage just as invincibly now that he had come to the East Continent. The man's stupidity truly knew no bounds!
Daydreams always shatter in the end. Today they would be so kind as to wake him up.
As the words fell, seeing that Chang Laiting was already looking impatient, the two Dingcheng Academy altar masters dared not dawdle and at once sprang forward to strike Wei Zhao. But before they could even set their stance, Wei Zhao suddenly flung one hand high and cried in a cold voice, "Thunder Explosion!"
As late Xuan Ascension adepts, the two Dingcheng Academy altar masters showed utter contempt for Wei Zhao's move—but before that contempt could even settle on their faces, the two of them convulsed violently and dropped to the ground, a thick pillar of deep-blue lightning crowning each of their heads.
Ssss! A wave of sharp indrawn breaths swept the whole crowd in unison, rising and falling, unbroken and endless.
Before they could do a single thing, two late Xuan Ascension adepts were lying stiff and straight on the ground, black smoke curling from them. Everyone now looked at Wei Zhao as though at some kind of monster. Was this fellow really an early Xuan Ascension adept?!
"Could that thing be a spirit beast?" someone could not help whispering.
"Possible—no, highly likely! Even if a human cultivator had the one-in-ten-thousand lightning-attribute spiritual root, there is no way he could discharge a lightning strike that powerful. That was on par with a lightning tribulation! No—stronger than a tribulation!" someone beside him at once chimed in.
"Exactly, exactly. A human cultivator unleashing a lightning tribulation—never even heard of such a thing. Those mighty lightning-type spirit beasts, now that's more like it! I hear there are not only lightning eagles in there, but even the legendary thunder dragon. Could this thing be the thunder dragon in disguise?" someone's imagination ran wild on the spot.
