348: Black Demon Thunder Zhen Gutong

On Gu Tong's forehead, a profound rune glowed, emitting a special energy fluctuation.

Under this power, he was as if covered by a shield, forcefully pushing out Brother Lin's Soul Power.

Moreover, this rune, like a key, unlocked the hidden power within Gu Tong's body, and his aura was even stronger than before.

"To actually use a Clan Rune, isn't that a bit too much? This is just a spar, not a life-and-death duel. Does it need to escalate to this point?!"

Mang Tianchi suddenly stood up, his angry gaze fixed on Gu Shan, whose face was adorned with a smile, showing no trace of shame.

Gu Shan replied, "Isn't giving your all a sign of respect for your opponent?"

Who told Brother Lin he didn't have a Clan Rune?

He sneered inwardly.

"Old Monster Shan, you are simply twisting concepts; your shamelessness has been taken to the extreme!"

Mang Tianchi's beard bristled and his eyes widened in anger, showing signs that he was about to personally fight him.

It was a pity the location didn't allow it; this was the Ancient World.

"Let's stop here. Both of them are good. Let's call it a draw."

Elder Tong Xuan spoke, interrupting the two, and offered a suggestion.

"Elder..."

Gu Shan immediately looked over upon hearing this, but was stopped by Tong Xuan's gaze.

His expression showed a hint of unwillingness.

Gu Tong's Realm was far superior to Brother Lin's. If it ended in a draw, anyone with eyes could see that Brother Lin had definitely won.

On the other side, Mang Tianchi was stunned for a moment, thinking this suggestion was good. Brother Lin being able to force a Half-Saint to use his Clan Rune was already enough to prove himself.

He was about to agree, but was stopped by another calm voice.

"Thank you for the Elder's kindness, but I don't believe I will lose."

Brother Lin didn't turn back, his expression calm as he watched Gu Tong, who was enveloped by a special energy.

The opponent's aura had increased significantly, emitting a much greater pressure than before.

At this moment, even if Old Demon Tianming were here again, he would probably feel immense pressure.

Fortunately, he still had many methods.

Gu Tong frowned and said, "Brother Lin, you made me use my Clan Rune. In this battle, even if you lose, there's no need to be disheartened."

He had obtained the Clan Rune several years ago and had long since completely mastered its power.

Even when he was competing for the position of Black Submergence King earlier, he had never used his full strength or revealed all his trump cards as he did today.

One must know that those who could compete for the Black Submergence King were all elites of the Ancient Clan.

He actually refused? Could it be that he still had some trump cards he hadn't revealed?

Gu Yuan, the Clan Chief, couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Yan was full of anticipation, "Senior Brother is definitely going to use the Fire Lotus!"

"Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."

Hun Ya snorted, revealing a hint of disdain. Clan Runes were a special reliance for them as descendants of a Dou Di.

Once this power was used, even those in the same Realm would fall into a disadvantage.

Moreover, Brother Lin's own Realm was inherently weaker than Gu Tong's, yet he still wouldn't quit while he was ahead and agree to a draw.

"He actually still dreams of defeating Gu Tong, Hun Li, don't you think it's laughable?"

Hun Ya turned to his side.

Hun Li's face was covered in scars, grotesque and terrifying, and he sneered, "Such an idiot, those guys in the Hall of Souls couldn't even take him down a few times; they're simply the worst of the worst."

Numerous gazes converged on Brother Lin.

These people who came to the Ancient World to witness the Coming-of-Age Ceremony naturally understood what a Clan Rune meant.

Even stepping back, even if they didn't understand, they could perceive Gu Tong's power from the terrifying aura he unleashed.

In comparison, although Brother Lin had the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Zun, he still seemed somewhat weak.

His lone figure stood in the Void Realm, the constantly falling black fingers above his head becoming increasingly solid.

Locked by countless gazes, a subtle arc gently lifted at the corner of Brother Lin's mouth.

Finally, he could use the Black Demon Lightning.

With a thought, the blood he had absorbed from Mang Tianchi earlier surged from his blood acupoint, rising to his forehead.

Empowered by Soul Power, the blood transformed into a lightning rune, piercing through his skin and appearing on his forehead.

"What is that?"

"How is that possible? A Lei Clan Clan Rune? Is Brother Lin a member of the Lei Clan?"

"No wonder he's so calm. Hiss, turns out he also has a Dou Di Bloodline."

Almost the moment the Clan Rune appeared, the people of the ancient clans were all shocked.

Especially Lei Hong and Lei Tao.

"Holy cow, Brother Lin is also from the Lei Clan?"

"I've never heard of it."

The two looked at each other, having spent quite a long time together before, without sensing any Bloodline aura at all.

"He's from the Lei Clan?"

Yao Chen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt that Brother Lin's strong talent didn't seem so unacceptable anymore.

After all, he was a descendant of a Dou Di.

"You're from the Lei Clan?"

Gu Tong was somewhat surprised, "However, even if you use your Clan Rune, it's useless."

The gap in strength between them was evident; he was only lacking in Soul.

With the Bloodline's enhancement, as long as his Soul was not attacked, he could crush him with his Realm.

However, just as this thought flashed through Gu Tong's mind, his expression suddenly froze, then revealed a look of astonishment.

Rumble!

Deafening thunder erupted from Brother Lin's body, accompanied by streaks of pitch-black lightning.

"Black Demon Lightning?"

Gu Shan stood up directly, his face filled with horror.

How was that possible? How could his body contain so much Black Demon Lightning?

Looking at those streaks of black lightning, emitting powerful energy, he felt his scalp tingle.

"This is as far as it goes."

Brother Lin looked at Gu Tong, muttering softly, then raised his hand and pressed a finger towards him.

The Black Demon Lightning roared, appearing in front of Gu Tong as if teleporting.

Before Gu Tong could react, his body was covered by a surge of electricity, his whole body numb and tingling.

The Great Nirvana Finger once again lost its power support and dissipated into the Void Realm.

And Gu Tong also fell from the air towards the ground.

Thump!

As if drained of energy, Gu Shan slumped back into his chair, displaying an expression of utter despair.

The moment the Black Demon Lightning appeared, he knew the outcome was decided.

However, he couldn't understand how Brother Lin could store such lightning, which even Dou Saints dared not easily provoke, within his body?

"He actually has Black Demon Lightning hidden in his body?"

Hun Ya was dumbfounded, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Hun Li frowned, "Is it because of the Lei Clan's Clan Rune? I really didn't expect him to be from the Lei Clan."

A person from the Lei Clan... Hearing this, Hun Ya was stunned, and then the conversation he had with Brother Lin that day flashed through his mind.

No, that's not right! He probably wasn't asking Xiao Yan to act; since he was from the Lei Clan, he was also qualified to enter the Sky Tomb!

Thinking of this, Hun Ya couldn't help but shiver, turning to look at the Elder leading the Soul Clan on the other side, "I suddenly remembered something. I won't be entering the Sky Tomb this time."

The Elder and Hun Li were both stunned, their faces showing inexplicable expressions.

Out of nowhere, why did Hun Ya suddenly bring up the Sky Tomb?

"Brother Lin is truly deep and hidden. If Gu Tong hadn't pushed him so hard today, he probably wouldn't have planned to reveal it."

Huo Xuan's face showed surprise.

Huo Zhi and others beside him also nodded in agreement.

"This brat..."

Mang Tianchi saw Brother Lin looking at him and immediately understood that all his previous worries had been deceived by Brother Lin.

This brat clearly had a sure victory, and his delay in dealing with Gu Tong was just to force him to use his Clan Rune.

Then Brother Lin would have a good reason to reveal the Lei Clan's Clan Rune.

Mang Tianchi was also a member of the Lei Clan and knew very well that Clan Runes did not have the ability to absorb Black Demon Lightning.

Otherwise, which force wouldn't be troubled if someone carried two streaks of Black Demon Lightning?

No wonder this brat was surrounded by so much Black Demon Lightning back then; he probably wasn't trapped at all, but was actively absorbing it.
