"Berserk Sword, slash!"
Facing the terrifying lightning, Zhou Yang did not retreat at all. He slashed down with the heavy sword in his hand.
Bang!
The deafening sound was accompanied by the tremors of the entire mountain, and a ten feet deep crack appeared on the summit.
The crack was connected to Shangguan Ting and Zhou Yang.
A trace of blood dripped from the corner of Zhou Yang's mouth, while Shangguan Ting's face was pale, and his hand holding the long sword was trembling slightly. If one looked carefully, one would see that the web between his thumb and index finger had been broken.
Lightning was the power of Heaven's Punishment. Mortals could not control it. Even if they borrowed the power of Heaven's Punishment, they would still injure themselves.
However, what shocked everyone was that Shangguan Ting's move did not achieve the effect he had imagined.
Zhou Yang's injuries had only worsened. If it weren't for the twenty or so people surrounding him, perhaps the power of thunder and lightning would only have caused him minor injuries, or perhaps he wouldn't have been injured at all.
As for Shangguan Ting, after attracting the lightning, there was not much energy left in his body. Now, he could either choose to fight with his life or give up.
"Is this the power of lightning?"
After a while, Zhou Yang suddenly revealed a trace of disdain.
So what if it was Heaven's Punishment? It couldn't do anything to him.
"Zhou Yang, I originally wanted to give you a way out, but you forced me to do this. If you don't die today, I, Shangguan Ting, will have no face to continue cultivating in the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect."
Shangguan Ting revealed a malevolent expression as he raised his longsword to the sky.
"With my body, I will attract Heaven's Punishment …"
Boom boom boom …
Thunder rumbled in the sky as lightning flashed in the dark clouds. The scene was as terrifying as doomsday.
"Heaven's Punishment …"
Zhou Yang raised his head and looked at the sky.
From the moment he was unable to fuse with his Astral Soul, he had been fighting against fate. When he awakened his Astral Soul, he believed that there was nothing in this world that couldn't be defeated.
So what if it was fate, so what if it was Divine Punishment, so what if it was Heaven's Punishment!
Boom!
The earth rumbled as Zhou Yang suddenly rose from the ground and dashed towards the dark clouds in the sky.
"Courting death, courting death!" Gu Liushui roared angrily as anger rose in his heart.
This anger came from Zhou Yang's actions.
Shangguan Ting, who had drawn the power of heaven into his body, wasn't scary, and any of the Chief Protector Disciples present could deal with him. However, the black clouds in the sky were where the true power of heaven was, and it was a forbidden zone for all living beings. Not to mention geniuses, even the real experts would stay away from it.
However, Zhou Yang had taken the initiative to charge at Heaven's Might. This was something he didn't dare to do. In fact, he didn't even dare to think about it.
It was precisely because of this that he was jealous and angry.
Kacha …
A bolt of lightning struck Zhou Yang's body. Instantly, Zhou Yang spat out a mouthful of blood.
Even his physical body, which had the strength of 22 tigers, was extremely fragile in the face of the Thunder of Heavenly Punishment. Just a trace of lightning that leaked out was enough to seriously injure him.
"Kill, kill, kill …"
It was as if countless people were shouting, and the sound of war drums could be heard.
Fearless Battle Will, Level One!
Zhou Yang's double speed finally allowed him to rush under the dark clouds, but that was all.
"Is Heaven's Might really invincible?"
Zhou Yang looked at the dark clouds in the sky.
Man can conquer nature, but can man really conquer nature?
Buzz …
As if it had heard Zhou Yang's inner cry, the bright red flag on the peak below burst into a dazzling red light again.
Rumble …
The light pierced through Zhou Yang and directly pierced into the dark clouds in the sky. In an instant, the thick dark clouds dispersed, and the sky was clear.
Man can conquer nature!
"How could this be, how could this be …"
Shangguan Ting's mouth was full of blood. After a while, he finally knelt on the ground powerlessly. The dark clouds dispersed, and Heaven's Might disappeared. His trump card had been broken.
However, this wasn't the reason for his despair. What made him despair was that Zhou Yang didn't fight with him at all. Instead, he directly fought with the Heaven's Might that he had drawn. More importantly, he won in the end.
The dark clouds dispersed, and so did the light on the flag. However, Zhou Yang was still surrounded by wisps of bloody light.
Then, he waved his hand, and the bloody light fell from the sky.
Boom!
A huge hole was blasted out of the peak. The terrifying power caused everyone to shrink back. Everyone was forced to stop at the stairs, and no one dared to go up.
"The power of the war flag, this guy's state of mind caused the war flag to resonate with him. Now that he has the power of the war flag, let alone me, even the elders wouldn't dare to touch him." Long Xuanhong clenched his teeth in hatred.
"Legend has it that the war flag of the Apex Peak is one of the two flags that the founding master and the founder of the kingdom used to expand their territory on the battlefield. The flag has been dyed with the blood of who knows how many experts. Those people must be filled with killing intent, which is why they resonated with that kid to resist the might of the heavens …" Gu Liushui said with great reluctance.
Only Shadowless sneered, "The power of the war flag won't exist for long. Let him live happily for a few days. When the power of the war flag dissipates, we'll personally end him."
After saying that, Shadowless was the first to retreat. The others also hurriedly carried Shangguan Ting and followed.
Zhou Yang didn't chase because his injuries weren't light. The power of the war flag could only help him defend, not heal.
After landing, he quickly used his true qi. Wanyan Jing quickly used his true qi. This time, he actually took the initiative to dual cultivate with Zhou Yang.
Using the Imperial Hundred Flowers, his injuries healed at a speed several times faster than usual. The faint fragrance of the flowers also gradually calmed his mood.
Previously, he had been suppressed by the Heaven's Might for many years. Now that he thought about it, he was indeed a bit impulsive. However, the final result surprised him.
The pressure of the Heaven's Might made him involuntarily use his fearless battle intent, and it caused the war flag to resonate.
The war flag of the decisive peak had something in common with his fearless battle flag, but it was also different.
The fearless battle flag was an artefact that contained countless souls of heroes. The war flag of the peak was just an ordinary war flag. However, it had absorbed the peak's power and was once a commander's flag stained with the blood of countless cultivators. That was why it had such great power.
"The power of thunder and lightning is truly powerful. That Shangguan Ting's Lightning Astral Soul only contains a trace of the power of thunder and lightning, yet it was able to trigger such a terrifying Heavenly Might. How terrifying must the legendary Heavenly Lightning Astral Soul be?"
Sky Thunder Star Soul, Celestial Spirit Soul. With this spirit, one could use the power of thunder.
Zhou Yang exclaimed.
"Why are you so stupid?"
After a while, Wanyan Jing suddenly said.
"Stupid?" Zhou Yang smiled, "For a village name that you don't know, you risked exposing your identity and fighting against an enemy much stronger than you. Who is the stupid one?"
Wanyan Jing knew that Zhou Yang was talking about him. He glared at Zhou Yang and said, "Aren't ordinary people people? My ancestors were ordinary people too. Which warrior's ancestor isn't an ordinary person?"
"Everyone knows what you're saying, but who would be as stupid as you?" Zhou Yang smiled.
"It's not me, it's us. You're even more stupid than me. You could have captured me and taken the reward, but you chose to become enemies with all the geniuses of the Tiangang Sword Sect," Wanyan Jing said.
