Chapter 59: I, Li Ran, am called Xiao Lei Gong!
Roar! Roar!
After hearing Li Ran's provocation, the demon was infuriated. It let out an earth-shaking roar.
Its figure continued to grow, and in the end, it smashed the ceiling into pieces.
In front of this ten-meter-long demon, the two of them were as insignificant as gravel.
Its ugly face was filled with sinister killing intent.
"……"
Yue Jianli gulped, “What should we do now?"
Li Ran scratched his head. “He went berserk from just a few words. This fellow's temper is pretty bad.”
“Its body is too strong, and its bloodline provides immunity to dao techniques. How should we kill it?" Yue Jianli frowned.
Li Ran thought about it. "Demons are usually afraid of the wrath of the heavens. Thus, we could use lightning to strike them."
"Lightning strike?"
Yue Jianli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Even at this time, you still want the heavens to take care of it?"
"I'm quite good at lightning. I don't need the heavens," Li Ran said seriously.
"Ah?"
Yue Jianli was stunned. "You know how to summon lightning? What a joke…"
Roar!
The Tao Wu raised its head and roared. It raised its enormous beast palm and slammed it down.
The two of them retreated.
Boom!
The entire hall trembled, and large pieces of rubble were scattered everywhere. Li Ran said coldly, "Don't stay around here. I'm going to hack this beast!"
"What?" Yue Jianli was dumbfounded.
Li Ran held the silver spear in his hands. The spear shone with divine light that went as far as three feet, as he made his way towards the monster.
In front of this wild beast, he was like a moth pouncing on fire.
"Li Ran, be careful!" Yue Jianli's heart tightened.
However, the next scene completely shocked her. Li Ran formed a hand incantation and stepped into the void.
"The protector of Three Realms, I welcome the Five Emperors." The cold voice reverberated in the hall, followed by the fluctuation of formless energy that darkened the entire hall.
From the tattered ceiling, dark clouds were gathering in the sky.
She raised her head and a trace of fear flashed in her azure-white eyes.
"The Gods Assembly, Grant me the lightning’s control!"
The dark clouds seemed to have been stirred by a formless hand, slowly forming a huge vortex.
The air was extremely oppressive!
Roar!
The Tao Wu realized that something was wrong and turned to escape. However, the pressure of the heavens and the earth pressed it down on the ground, depriving even its ability to lift its finger!
"The demon is terrified, and its spirit is dead." Li Ran's clothes fluttered, his entire body wrapped in golden light, like a blazing sun in the sky.
The heavy clouds above him emitted a terrifying pressure, and thunder rumbled within them as thunderclaps wrapped around them!
"What is this…" Yue Jianli looked at the golden figure, her eyes filled with shock.
The demon’s heart split apart as if the entire sky was pressed against its body. Blood continuously seeped out from its seven orifices.
"Lightning exists in me, the Thunder God is omnipresent!" Li Ran roared, his silver spear pointed straight into the sky.
Lightning condensed within the dark grey vortex, and the aura from the primordial spirit filled the heavens and the earth!
Roarrrr!
"Golden Lightning Curse – Extinction!" The ancient incantation echoed within the hall.
Suddenly, the wind stopped and the world fell silent.
The vortex rapidly rotated, lightning gathered and fell.
Li Ran’s black hair wildly danced amidst the storm, just like a Heavenly God.
Heaven and earth were unfeeling, and everything perished.
The lightning that pierced through the heavens enveloped the demon.
Roar, roar, roar!
The Tao Wu howled in pain, as lightning pierced through its body, decomposing every cell.
Its body began to crumble, scattering like fine sand in the wind.
The demon disappeared.
It really did.
Its body was decomposed into the smallest molecule by the heavenly lightning, leaving not a single trace behind.
Li Ran, too, was stunned.
This was the ability of a technique from a super treasure chest?
Its power was too monstrous!
……
Li Ran descended from the sky, his face slightly pale. Yue Jianli stared at him blankly. "What kind of ability is this?"
Communicating with the world, and summoning the heavenly lightning?
Was this an ability a Golden Core Realm practitioner could use?
Li Ran shrugged his shoulders. "I've already told you. I, Li Ran, am called Xiao Lei Gong*. I’m adept at using lightning." [TLN: Xiao Lei Gong – Little Thunder Lord]
"……" Yue Jianli lowered her head, her expression bitter.
"If he wanted to kill me, I would probably already be dead now? How laughable that I wanted to win against him…"
This was the first time her proud Sword Heart had tasted defeat.
Li Ran was too strong, strong to the point of despair.
Thinking back to how godly his figure was back then, was he really the same person who had teased her earlier?
She couldn't help but be a bit silly.
……
The lightning dissipated, and the hall became a complete mess. Song Qingsong was lying on the ground on his last breath. He was constantly coughing up blood.
He had absorbed most of the power of the Golden Lightning Curse, yet he managed to survive.
However, his internal organs were almost charred by electricity. His body was scorched, and his injuries were extremely serious.
Li Ran walked up to him and squatted down. He sighed and said, "I can't even kill you. Your luck is really good, comrade toolman."
