490 Heavenly Punishment
âOrochi is the protector beast in the Xiaori Country, and he is also a Yin Yang master. Not only is he powerful, but he also has three powerful Shikigami. Iâm sure that there are many Yin Yang formations being set up in the Jingguo Ghost Society. Itâll be very difficult to sneak in and rescue Su Huaizhou.â
Alice sighed. She had been creating many little bats these days to scout out information. Although Orochi had taken care of many of them, some of them were still able to sneak in and collect data. She managed to confirm that Su Huaizhou was indeed inside. As for the others, she did not have enough time to look around.
Zhang Ningtian nodded with a serious expression. He naturally knew how powerful Orochi was, but he also knew that this mission was related to his future. Anyone who stood in his way would be killed!
âYouâre the leader of this operation. What do you think we should do now?â
Alice rubbed her throbbing head and asked Zhang Ningtian. She was only a support member. Even if participating in the search for Su Huaizhou was done at Lin Xuanâs request, it was considered a favor, not a mission. She only needed to do what had to be done, and she would not risk her life to face the earth-rank masters.
âWeâll have to wait for an opportunity to strike.â
Zhang Ningtianâs eyes narrowed as he thought about it. A mature hunter would have the patience to wait for his prey to give themselves away.
He glanced at his smartwatch. It was six in the afternoon. There was still some time before the demons showed themselves.
â¦
Lin Xuan and Li Rui had nothing to do after returning from the battlefield. They stood in the air and watched Orochi bathe in lightning.
âIt wonât make it!â Lin Xuan said firmly.
âWhy?â Li Rui expressed his doubts.
âItâs because it wasnât prepared. Why would it start the tribulation so casually? Is it being controlled? Or is it controlling the heavenly tribulation? I think itâs the latter.â Lin Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said. In the novels he had read in his previous life, all the immortal cultivators would not be jittery when transcending their tribulation. They would prepare tribulation treasures hundreds of years in advance, and would transcend it as and when they wanted to. This was not considered a tribulation, this was seen as courting death!
âThatâs reasonable.â Li Rui thought for a moment and nodded.
âYouâre too kind.â Lin Xuan replied with a smile.
For a moment, the scene fell silent again.
At this time, the boundless tribulation clouds in the sky had finally finished brewing. The terrifying heavenly tribulation lightning appeared from time to time in the clouds. Then, an extremely thick white thunderbolt struck down from the sky, tearing the air and making a terrifying sound. With just one strike, it exploded Orochi into a bloody mess.
âThat was strongâ¦â
Lin Xuanâs brows twitched. He secretly used a technique to capture a trace of the white lightning that had yet to dissipate and placed it in his body to study it carefully in the future.
This was the thunder of heavenly punishment, representing the fairness and justice of the great Heavenly Dao. It had a grand atmosphere that could drive away evil and ward off evil. To Lin Xuan, this was definitely a pleasant surprise. If he could control this type of thunder, the prestige of the Human Emperor would probably soar higher!
The thunder technique was definitely the most suitable divine power for the Human Emperor!
Orochiâs lightning bath continued.
Orochi was eager to bathe in the lightning when the lightning tribulation was still brewing at the start, now it was doubting if it was worth it. Why was the final leap so difficult in this tribulation?
Five bolts of the heavenly tribulationâs lightning had struck it so hard that it almost burnt to a crisp. It had already been split into two. However, with its strong vitality, it could still barely hold on. However, the sixth bolt of the heavenly tribulationâs lightning was already brewing. It was very likely that it would not be able to withstand this wave of tyrannical attacks.
âIâm going to die, Iâm going to die.â
That was all Orochi could think about right now. However, it wasnât weak. It had its own powerful magical power.
Wind, rain, thunder, hidden heavenly fire, Poisonous Gas Domain!
Eight-branched Divine Powers â Eight Lives!
The eight heads meant that it had eight lives. It was going to use one of its lives as the price to recover to its peak state. Then, it let out the strongest sound of evolution towards the heavenly Thunder of divine punishment.
After the first lightning bolt, Orochi pounced over again. At this time, it was only left with a sheet of skin and was on the verge of death.
This was the sixth thunderbolt, and it didnât know how many more there would be left.
It couldnât accept this treatment. In the past, it was in despair because it couldnât see any hope of advancement. Now, it still could not see any hopes of advancement. Not only did it not see any hope of advancement, but it was also going to die because of its greed it had.
The seventh thunderbolt came.
Seven lives were left in its bank!
The charred Orochi powerlessly floated on the ocean. The salty seawater covered its bloody body, and the pain became unbearable. However, it was also difficult for it to cry out.
There were only six lives left. A few of the hydra eyes had already closed as if they had given up on struggling. However, there were still one or two hydra heads that were secretly looking at Lin Xuan and Li Rui. It knew, it always knew, that even if it safely survived the heavenly tribulation, it would still have to face Lin Xuan and Li Ruiâs pursuit.
This was truly no way out of this battle.
All of a sudden, it stood up and roared, âOnmyoji, you motherf*cker, come save me!â
This was the only way it could think of to break out of this situation, and it required the intervention of an external force.
In the direction of the Xiaori Country, Onmyoji sighed softly, but he did not refuse. He sent out a Yin Yang formation that he had already prepared for such a situation.
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded. He then held Li Rui tightly, who wanted to stop the oncoming help from succeeding.
âWhat are you doing?â
âIâm going to stop it!â
âThereâs no need. Just stand here and watch the show.â
Lin Xuan didnât explain further and just looked at this scene with amusement.
In the end, the Yin Yang formation did not land in Orochiâs hands. It was effortlessly annihilated by a bolt of lightning that escaped while flying.
âLi Rui, get ready. Youâll have to directly swallow Orochi after this. It wonât be able to survive the next wave.â
Lin Xuan patted Li Ruiâs shoulder and squinted at the tribulation clouds in the sky. When Li Rui made his move, the tribulation would probably hit him as well. Li Rui would most likely not be able to withstand it, so Lin Xuan would have to help.
At this moment, the eighth lightning punishment fell. Orochi whimpered and fell on the sea, dying. It had a premonition that there was only one lightning left. As long as it could cross it, it would be free!
However, the power of the last thunderbolt made it feel despair.
Feast of Fear!
A terrifying shadow that came from the void opened its terrifying mouth and bit down on Orochiâs body. No, it bit down on Orochiâs soul. After experiencing the previous eight bolts of heavenly tribulation lightning, Orochi was already in extreme despair and fear.
