Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 501-Chapter 600)

Zhou Tong was surprised as well. “That’s impossible!”


Li Qingshan opened his eyes. The flashing trajectories of lightning appeared in them, but these flashed had not been left behind after the lightning had struck. Instead, they came from before the lightning erupted. Otherwise, even with the wings of wind’s speed, he would still seem slow if he tried competing with lightning.

It was possible to say that if the opponent dodged the moment Zhou Tong struck, they were basically too late already.

In the past, in order to unleash lightning with enough power, Zhou Tong had to perform a series of ritualistic daoist gestures and go to quite some lengths, which gave the opponent time to dodge beforehand.

Now, a casual strike of his possessed startling power, and it would be endless. This was what made lightning terrifying. As someone who practised the Divine Heaven Method of Lightning Wielding, Zhou Tong did indeed have the strength to strut around proudly.

Although he had only just undergone the second tribulation, he could probably look down on all early Golden Core cultivators already. When it came to a real battle to the death, even some mid Golden Core cultivators would not necessarily be his opponent.

However, Li Qingshan used the power of the spirit turtle to peer into that moment of the future. In the blink of an eye, he approached Zhou Tong. No matter how powerful a cultivator’s techniques were, their feeble bodies were still their greatest weakness.

“Be careful, senior Zhou!”

“Hmph, I’ve been waiting for this!” Zhou Tong suddenly slammed his hand against the scorching sun of lightning before him.



Boom!

In that moment, countless bolts of lightning were released like a wild dance of silver snakes, weaving into a net of electricity together with an unbelievably loud clap of thunder.

Even the cultivators on the Soaring Dragon ship high in the sky felt their ears buzz, becoming mildly stunned.

Although they clearly knew Zhou Tong stood on their side, they could not help but become overwhelmed with shock and horror. The interwoven net of electricity was a zone of death. If they fell in there, no matter how many Foundation Establishment cultivators there were, there would only be death for everyone.

Li Qingshan had already responded a moment earlier. However, even though he could see the trajectories of the lightning, he was unable to dodge in the dense net of electricity. Originally, he planned on unleashing the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell to block forcefully, but he suddenly thought of something and waved his hand.

Pieces of the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell assembled into a huge mirror. He unleashed two abilities of the spirit turtle simultaneously.

The violent lightning landed on the mirror, and most of it was reflected.

Li Qingshan stood behind the mirror, completely unscathed. He thought, The effectiveness of this move seems to be limited in close combat, but it seems to be quite effective against techniques, particularly against the flashing lightning from Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong’s eyes widened immediately. Having undergone the second heavenly tribulation, not only did he condense a Divine Lightning pearl, but the Lightning Slaughter sword had become even more powerful after being further forged in the heavenly tribulation, yet his attacks had actually been blocked so easily.

It had not been easy at all for Li Qingshan. Although the reflection seemed to triumph over Zhou Tong’s lightning, it took a great toll on his mind to maintain the mirror. His daemon qi plummeted as well.

Normally, he would consider retreating, but he was right above Moon Court lake, so there was no need for him to fear a consumption of daemon qi at all. Taking advantage of Zhou Tong’s shock, he flew much closer.

He extended his hand when he was still thirty meters away from Zhou Tong. His arm suddenly swelled up and lengthened, turning into a huge, pitch-black limb that loomed over Zhou Tong’s head.

Zhou Tong erupted with lightning, and Li Qingshan felt like he had been electrocuted. There was severe pain, followed by a feeling of numbness that spread through his body. His movements slowed down, but he gritted his teeth and continued to reach down.

A bolt of lightning flew through his fingertips. Zhou Tong’s figure changed drastically as the lightning weaved together into the figure of the Lord of Thunder, holding a mallet in one hand and a chisel in the other. He had finally unleashed the ultimate move he had never managed to use in the past that he could now use at will. It was much clearer too, almost tangible.

Zhou Tong roared out furiously, “With the hellish might of gods, the Lord of Thunder strikes the daemon!”

Boom!

The Lord of Thunder struck his mallet against his chisel, and a bolt of lightning shot out, shining with a vague violet colour.

Li Qingshan knew he was unable to reflect this ultimate move. With a flap of his wings of wind, he dodged beforehand, but the trajectory of the lightning suddenly changed, piercing through the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell viciously and striking his body.

Li Qingshan shuddered all over. He actually lost control over his body at that moment. The wings of wind shattered as he directly fell towards Moon Court lake.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

How could Zhou Tong let such a fantastic opportunity slip by? He unfurled a pair of lightning wings and took off in pursuit. The Lord of Thunder constantly struck the chisel of lightning in his hand as bolts of violet lightning landed on Li Qingshan again and again.

The lightning would rip apart the daemon qi Li Qingshan had just gathered, and his body had become completely numb from the electricity. He entered a state where he was unable to put up any resistance.

Clashing with a Golden Core cultivator really is very dangerous! It’s also so unpredictable. Just the slightest carelessness might cost me my life.

The Water God Seal in Li Qingshan’s body produced ripples of light, which reached the edge of Moon Court lake in the blink of an eye.

The peaceful lake water suddenly began to bubble.



Swoosh!

A streak of water rose up from the centre of the lake like an upside down waterfall, directly charging into the sky and turning into a colossal hand that swung towards Zhou Tong.





Chapter 522: The Broken Sword, the Pill, and the Choice | Legend of the Great Sage




The intense battle over Moon Court lake had alarmed all the settlements in its surroundings.

In particular, the fishermen who lived on their boats suddenly felt like they were in free fall. They darted into their cabins in fear and surprise, only to see the surface of the lake had suddenly fallen by a feet. A colossal hand composed of water reached into the air from the centre of the lake.

“Grandfather lake god is angry!”

Shock and fear was written across all of their faces. Someone bellowed out with that and everyone dropped to their knees, constantly lowering their heads.

On a small, stone bridge near the shore, a person stood alone as his green student’s robes drifted in the air.

Fu Qingjin pressed his hand against his sword and stared ahead. “Northmoon, have you already become like this?”

……

A few months ago, deep into autumn, on Benevolence island, by the Lake of Dragons and Snakes.

A lonely figure held a broken sword, sitting on the shore alone. There was no Green Ruins Illusion, nor was there a dangling thread.

“Why’s this Fu Qingjin acting like he’s lost his wits!?” Hua Chenglu arrived on Benevolence island to check on a Hawkwolf guard who had been injured during a mission. She spotted Fu Qingjin’s figure from afar.

Yu Zijian said, “Shh, Chenglu, be quieter. Don’t let him hear you.”

The conversation reached his ears clearly, but he behaved like he had not heard it at all. He stared at the severed edge of the Green Ruins sword. What had been severed was not just the edge, but all connections with the outside world.
