Demon-Slaying Thunder Bead

After hearing Xiao Ming's question, Old Man Shi Gu was stunned.

“Are there still Nether Cats and Gray Flame Lizards outside?”

After speaking, he answered himself, “So many years have passed; logically, those Nether Cats and Gray Flame Lizards should have died long ago.”

“My disciples have attacked Lingyun Cave several times; even if they couldn't kill them, they should have driven them away.”

“Could it be their descendants?”

After muttering a few sentences to himself, Old Man Shi Gu sneered and said, “The Nether Cat and Gray Flame Lizard groups are guardian demonic beasts left behind by those damned righteous cultivators, meant to prevent outsiders from entering.”

“As for the Evil Ghosts, hehe, those Evil Ghosts are all transformed souls of rogue cultivators who rushed in. They were trapped here, couldn't leave, and were affected by this old man's evil aura, turning them all into Evil Ghosts!”

“You two juniors, don't worry. Once this old man drains your vital essence, he will also transform you into Evil Ghosts, trapping you here for all eternity, hahaha!”

After finishing in one breath.

Old Man Shi Gu's tone suddenly shifted, and he said with a murderous expression, “Guess why this old man is telling you all this?”

Without waiting for Xiao Ming and Han Qingfeng to answer, he continued to speak to himself, “This old man has been stalling for time, secretly accumulating power!”

“Now, you can die!”

As his voice fell.

Old Man Shi Gu's aura surged dramatically; his Cultivation Level instantly rose from the Late Stage of the Divine Sea Realm to the Great Perfection!

As his Cultivation Level increased, Old Man Shi Gu opened his mouth and spat out a ball of scorching white, evil flame.

This flame emitted terrifying high temperatures and was quite large, surging towards Xiao Ming and Han Qingfeng.

Facing the incoming evil white flame, Xiao Ming's expression was stern, but Han Qingfeng smiled.

“Stalling for time, huh? So was I!”

Han Qingfeng, with a slight smile, extended his palm and lightly slapped at the incoming white evil flame.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A violent bolt of lightning, as thick as a thigh, shot out from Han Qingfeng's palm, carrying unparalleled destructive power, and struck forward!

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

A series of low explosions rang out one after another.

Han Qingfeng's lightning instantly pierced through Old Man Shi Gu's evil white flame, and then the lightning spread out, forming a small sea of lightning that enveloped all the white flames.

The lightning sea surged, emitting a powerful, pure Yang energy. Under the bombardment of the lightning, the white evil flame spat out by Old Man Shi Gu rapidly disappeared at a visible speed.

After only a few breaths of time.

Old Man Shi Gu's white evil flame was completely annihilated by the lightning, causing Old Man Shi Gu's face to contort in disbelief.

He had originally thought that with his flame unleashed, Xiao Ming and Han Qingfeng would be instantly wiped out, becoming his blood sacrifice.

He never expected such a result.

“You can actually unleash the Power of Thunder and destroy this old man's Bone-Corroding Evil Flame?!” Old Man Shi Gu cried out in alarm, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

His Bone-Corroding Evil Flame was extremely powerful. Although its power was not as great as before due to his own Cultivation Level plummeting, it was still more than enough to defeat a martial artist at the Great Perfection of the Divine Sea Realm.

Even.

Even when facing a strong practitioner of the Yuqi Realm, the Bone-Corroding Evil Flame could display considerable power.

Yet now, so much of the Bone-Corroding Evil Flame had been completely swept away by Han Qingfeng's lightning!

One must know that Han Qingfeng's Cultivation Level was only at the Early Stage of the Divine Sea Realm. For him to be able to destroy so much evil flame at such a low Cultivation Level, didn't that mean Han Qingfeng possessed the strength to kill a Great Perfection Divine Sea Realm practitioner?

Even if he encountered a strong practitioner of the Yuqi Realm, Han Qingfeng could contend with them!

This boy, Han Qingfeng, actually possessed the strength to challenge across Cultivation Levels, and even across major Cultivation Levels!

Thinking of this, Old Man Shi Gu's expression immediately became serious.

This situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

It seemed he had provoked a terrifying individual he shouldn't have.

Just then.

Han Qingfeng moved again.

He raised his palm and fiercely grabbed at Old Man Shi Gu from a distance!

The next moment.

Countless dense lightning bolts flickered in the air, and a patch of dark storm clouds abruptly appeared above Old Man Shi Gu's head.

Lightning coursed within the storm clouds, and then all the lightning suddenly converged, forming a thick bolt of lightning that struck directly at Old Man Shi Gu!

Old Man Shi Gu was greatly alarmed and, without thinking, spat out even more Bone-Corroding Evil Flames, forming a thick wall of fire above his head, intending to block the lightning strike.

Boom!!

Thunder roared, and the earth trembled.

The terrifying lightning struck down, hitting the white wall of fire squarely. Then, under Old Man Shi Gu's terrified gaze, his wall of fire only lasted for a moment before it could no longer withstand the lightning's erosion and exploded.

After shattering the wall of fire, the lightning continued downwards, engulfing Old Man Shi Gu in one fell swoop!

“Ah ah ah!”

Old Man Shi Gu let out a pig-like shriek.

The terrifying lightning shattered the body he possessed, blasting the flesh to pieces, and his primordial spirit also suffered immense damage.

Lightning is inherently a powerful energy of pure Yang, highly effective against primordial spirits, and since Old Man Shi Gu was a practitioner of the evil path, his injuries were even greater.

At this moment.

His primordial spirit was enveloped by lightning, and under the terrifying erosion of the lightning, it was rapidly becoming illusory.

With such severe injuries, even if Old Man Shi Gu didn't die, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

And Xiao Ming, who had been looking for an opportunity, also made his move at this moment!

The dark golden tiangang sword shone brightly, and the surrounding Five Elements Power surged frantically, forming a five-colored sword shadow with a sharp aura in front of Xiao Ming.

This sword shadow was not two hundred meters tall, but the sword might it contained was as powerful as ever.

“Strike!”

Xiao Ming let out a soft cry, raised the tiangang sword in his hand, and fiercely slashed at Old Man Shi Gu's primordial spirit!

Rumble!

The sword shadow swept over, heavily striking Old Man Shi Gu's primordial spirit, and then the sword shadow exploded, transforming into countless sword qi that engulfed Old Man Shi Gu.

Old Man Shi Gu, who had already been severely injured, became even more battered after Xiao Ming's attack, his primordial spirit even becoming illusory.

However.

Although Old Man Shi Gu's aura was weak and his primordial spirit illusory, he still showed no signs of perishing.

He was like an unkillable cockroach, enduring attack after attack, yet still standing firm.

Seeing this situation, a hint of hesitation flashed across Han Qingfeng's face.

Subsequently.

He took a deep breath, then pulled out a round blue pearl from his embrace.

The pearl was entirely azure, covered with intricate lightning patterns, and perhaps because of these patterns, fine lightning bolts flickered across its entire surface.

As soon as the blue pearl was taken out, Old Man Shi Gu immediately shrieked.

“You actually have a Demon-Extinguishing Thunder Pearl? How could you possess such an item?!”
