In the skies above the Holy Ground of the Green Hill Foxes, dark clouds churned and lightning flashed.
The dark cloud was very small, no more than thirty kilometers. It was not even worth mentioning compared to the tribulation clouds that were hundreds, even thousands of kilometers wide.
The lightning within the tribulation clouds …
It looked very weak, and there was nothing special about it. However, only Fabulous Fox, who was locked down by the "thundercloud", could feel the pressure brought about by the bolts of lightning.
"No!"
When he realized that the thundercloud had locked onto him, he was on the verge of breaking down and could not help exclaiming, "This is impossible! This is impossible! I've already reached Mahayana nine hundred years ago! Why would there be a heavenly retribution?"
He turned to the Mahayana Foxes of the Green Hill Foxes, sensing the thunderbolts that could destroy all, and cried out in terror, "Quick, help me! Use an immortal item to help me weather my retribution … No!"
"The immortal ancestor's body! Senior Elder, lend me his body or I'll die!"
In a corner.
Several Mahayana Foxes appeared perplexed.
A daemon fox who looked like a beautiful young woman covered her mouth and laughed. "What are you doing, Elder Fabulous Fox? The thundercloud isn't that powerful, and you could easily disperse it with your ability. "
"That's right. How could an immortal item and an immortal body be used so easily?"
Another daemon fox agreed.
Just then …
Crack!
Up in the skies.
A bolt of tribulation lightning that was around the size of an arm struck down.
There wasn't much power behind it, nor was there a sound that shook the heavens and the earth. The purple lightning gently fell, leaving behind a beautiful arc in the air. Crack … Like a mirror breaking, the Great Mountain-Protecting Array of the Nine-tailed Foxes' Holy Land instantly shattered.
All of Qingqiu Mountain shuddered.
In that very moment, the expressions of the many Foxes changed.
Fabulous Fox even took out his Demon Weapon in an instant and unleashed everything he had learned in his life. Even his Nascent Divinity and Great Dao began to burn.
His potential meant certain death, but he instead developed a mentality of living in the face of death. He shot up into the air, blocking the first purple thunderbolt with a single spear strike.
And yet, there was a second …
A third!
When the third thunderbolt struck, the supreme-grade Dao weapon in Fabulous Fox's hand, which was already bathed in blood, was sent flying by the thunderbolt. His gigantic fox body was pierced through by the thunderbolt, causing his body to fall from the sky and smash heavily onto the ground.
In the sky.
The lightning in the thundercloud brewed for another two breaths. After failing to find its target, it quickly dispersed.
All of this would have taken a long time to describe, but in truth, it only took around ten seconds for the thunderclouds to rise and the thunderbolts to shatter Green Hill's mountain-guarding formation to kill Fabulous Fox.
All of Green Hill fell into an eerie silence.
Beside Fabulous Fox's corpse, the many Mahayana elders of the Green Hill Foxes all showed a look of shock as they stared fixedly at Fabulous Fox's corpse. The red lips of the Mahayana Daemon Fox who looked like a beautiful woman parted slightly as she muttered, "How could this be? The power of that thundercloud isn't that strong! "
Even when the Heavenly Lightning fell, the fox demons who weren't targeted by the Heavenly Lightning didn't feel how strong it was.
"No, this is not a Heavenly Tribulation!"
In a great hall of Green Hill, a white-haired old fox walked through the air. In human form, there was no hint of a fox daemon on his body, and he instead resembled a human old man.
He stared at the corpse on the ground and the thunderclouds that were dispersing up in the skies, saying somberly, "If it really was a heavenly retribution, it would have triggered the thunderbolts of other Sufferance-tier cultivators. However, they didn't notice it, which is why the thundercloud isn't a heavenly retribution, but some godly technique!"
"Impossible!"
The many Daemon Foxes' expressions changed, and they could not help exclaiming, "Not even immortals could cast such a godly technique. Thunderclouds descending from the skies … who could kill Fabulous Fox so easily even though he was protected by a demi-immortal item?"
… …
Meanwhile.
Outside.
There were already many elites hiding in the dark near Green Hill.
They had come to watch the show after learning that the Green Hill Foxes had invited Jiang He to their Holy Grounds. They did not expect to see such a sight, and were left utterly stunned.
What was going on?
They all knew about Fabulous Fox.
While he was the youngest Mahayana Daemon Fox in the world of cultivators, he was extremely powerful and was protected by a demi-immortal armor. And yet, he was killed by the heavenly thunderbolts just like that?
Most importantly …
Where did the heavenly thunderbolts come from?
How could a Mahayana cultivator attract heavenly thunderbolts?
It was not just the Green Hill Foxes and their hidden elites who were shocked. Even Jiang He, who was five hundred kilometers away, was stunned!
Separated by thousands of miles, although he could not see nor sense the eruption of the [Purple Sky Thunder Talisman], he could clearly sense the aura of the Fox Clan expert that he had captured from the invitation card...
He was gone.
"He's … dead?"
Jiang He was rather dazed.
Dead … just like that?
Killed by his own Violet Sky Thunder Talisman?
In the next instant, Jiang He became very excited!
What the hell!
Wasn't the Violet Sky Thunder Talisman a little too awesome?
He was at least five hundred kilometers away from Green Hill, was he not?
He did not even have to see or know the person's name from five hundred kilometers away, and all he needed was a wisp of his aura to kill him from afar?
At the same time, he felt fortunate for Jin Sidao.
That person's luck was really good.
Jiang He had thought of wiping out the Ten Thousand Swords Sect before, but was moved by his' sincerity 'and spared his life.
Just now, he had wanted to test the power of the Violet Sky Thunder Talisman on Jin Sidao, but if he really did …
Jin Sidao would probably be dead by now.
"I used a rank-four Violet Sky Thunder Talisman just now, which could unleash four thunderbolts … I wonder how many bolts that unlucky Fox managed to block. He has a demi-immortal armor, so he should be able to block a few more bolts, right?"
With that thought in mind, Jiang He continued forward towards Green Hill.
He was a man of his word. Since he had promised that unlucky fellow of the Green Hill Fox Clan to go to the Green Hill Mountain, he must go. How could he give up halfway just because that unlucky fellow was killed by the [Violet Heaven Thunder Talisman]?
"Oh, right."
"When I get to Green Hill later, I have to ask about the name of the Daemon Fox who was killed by the thunderbolts. It was a Mahayana Daemon Fox after all and is not weak, and letting it die without a trace is a form of disrespect."
For Jiang He now, the five-hundred-kilometer journey took no time at all.
From the distance, he could see the Green Hill that stretched over hundreds of kilometers. Jiang He could not help doing a double take and promptly stopping, exclaiming in surprise, "The Green Hill Foxes actually withdrew their mountain guarding array?"
There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Could they really be plotting against me?
That was why Jiang He decided to improve his cultivation first before heading there … he did not expect that the Green Hill Foxes had not withdrawn their mountain guarding array, but that it had been shattered by the Violet Sky Thunder Talisman.
"System!"
"Improve my cultivation!"
"Improve the Nine Heavenly Stars Body Formula as well!"
Ding!
A System Notification jingled in his head —
[Ding!]
[-1 billion Farm Points.]
[Congratulations, Host. You have gained Mastery over the Seventh Fold of the Three Thousand Calamities, the Sword Sage Cultivation.]
[Ding!]
[-800 million Farm Points.]
"Congratulations to the host, you have successfully cultivated the body-refining technique 'Nine Heavenly Stars Body Forging Technique' to the seventh level."
In the next split second, Jiang He's aura increased wildly.
His full-fledged Sufferance cultivation instantly ascended to Mahayana, and he did not stop there. Like a rocket, he reached full-fledged Mahayana in the blink of an eye. On the other hand, the Nine Heavenly Stars Body Formula did not improve as quickly as his Qi Refinist cultivation.
After all, strengthening one's physique was a process, and even if the process was countless times shorter thanks to the System, it still took up to eight seconds.
Streaks of starlight were descending from the horizon, completely shrouding Jiang He. The sight was extraordinarily shocking even in broad daylight.
In the dark, the elites who were hiding noticed Jiang He. Some were surprised, some were stunned, and some could not help crying out when they sensed Jiang He's rising aura, "How is this possible?"
"How did his cultivation improve so quickly?"
"Full-fledged Sufferance?"
"He instantly ascended to full-fledged Mahayana?"
"No … his physique and qi are rapidly strengthening too … what is that starlight? It's actually helping Jiang He refine his body! "
Now that the hidden elites had noticed Jiang He, the elites of the Green Hill Foxes naturally noticed him as well. Waves of shouts could be heard as the white-haired Grand Elder of the Green Hill Foxes barked, "Hurry up and reactivate the array! Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, come out to receive Jiang He! Tenth Elder, replace Fabulous Fox and control the ninth layer of the immortal item!"
"I will take over the immortal ancestor's body, and I will attack immediately once Jiang He enters the array. All of you, charge your immortal items at the same time to kill that brat."
Veins of aura arose!
There were actually nine Mahayana elites among the Green Hill Foxes …
No, there were ten Mahayana elites if the one who had just died was included!
At first, they had been prepared to slowly subjugate Jiang He, or even think of a way to investigate Jiang He's secrets. But now, with Fabulous Fox's death, they no longer had that intention!
They would just subjugate him first!
As for Jiang He's secrets …
The Green Hill Foxes had existed for countless years, and they had all the methods to search souls and interrogate them.
Kaboom!
The mountain-guarding array of the Green Hill Foxes, which had been destroyed by the Violet Sky Thunder Talisman, rose once again.
Two hundred kilometers away.
Jiang He, who had just ascended, was utterly confused.
Damn it.
What were the Green Hill Foxes doing … why did they suddenly raise their array again?
At this moment, a corner of the rising array suddenly split open. From within the array, two figures with powerful auras flew out. It was a man and a woman. The man was handsome, and the woman was flirtatious. The female fox demon expert even had a furry fox tail.
Jiang He: "…"
More question marks appeared on his face, and he was a little uncertain what the Green Hill Foxes were up to.
Dismissing the array, raising it again, and now opening a corner of it to send out two Mahayana Foxes … what were they up to?
"Whatever …"
"In the end, the Green Hill Foxes have deep foundations. They might have other moves against me aside from immortal daemons' corpses and immortal items. Just in case …"
Jiang He discreetly took out two more Violet Sky Thunder Talismans and held them in his hand.
All he could do was strike first, and kill the two Green Hill Foxes to weaken their combat ability!
