"What's wrong?" Su Yun asked in his mind, still in a state of panic.
"With your physical body, you'll be destroyed upon contact with this lightning." Yixie's voice was indifferent.
"Is it really that powerful?" Su Yun asked doubtfully.
"If you don't believe me, you can go and try," Yixie said. "However, it's impossible to regrow a severed arm without reaching the Ancient Realm."
Su Yun wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Then, how do I retrieve this thing?"
"Lightning is the most righteous energy in the world. Sword Qi is also the most righteous energy." Yixie paused for a moment. "Purple Qi and Primal Chaos Qi are not inferior to the power of lightning. How do you think I should retrieve it? "
Su Yun understood. This meant that he had some fate with the Lei Zhu.
"However, it's best to delay alerting the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast," Yixie said.
"Delay alerting it? What does that mean? Is there no way to avoid it? "Su Yun asked.
"The Lei Zhu is the foundation of the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast's evolution. Do you think it'll let its guard down?" Yixie said.
If he touched the Lei Zhu, the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast would definitely sense it immediately!
Su Yun understood. Since that was the case, it would be dangerous later.
"In this damned place, even using the power of space is ineffective!" Su Yun took out the spirit tablet and sensed it. He was about to go crazy.
He was not mentally prepared to face the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast.
Su Yun was not in a hurry to retrieve the Lei Zhu. Instead, he quietly thought of a plan.
"Why hasn't the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast returned after so long …" Su Yun looked up at the flashing lightning in the sky. He did not see the figure.
"Could it be because of Shaochengtian and the others?" Su Yun's eyes lit up. "Lei Zhu is still in the cave. The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast won't chase them too far. They should be able to protect themselves."
"Since you're here, why don't I share a piece of the pie with you?" Su Yun's lips curled up. He already had a plan in mind.
Delaying the alarm of the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast would also buy him some time!
Su Yun activated the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique. This time, he used his own spiritual energy to activate the technique so as to avoid strong spiritual energy fluctuations.
Soon, a layer of pure white energy appeared on Su Yun's crystal clear hands.
Both of Su Yun's hands circled around the purple lightning ball, covering it with a layer of pure white purple Qi, temporarily isolating it from the energy fluctuations.
Then, Su Yun quickly pulled out the Heaven Seizing Sword. Sword Qi lingered around it and it was incomparably fierce.
"Zeng … Zeng …" The sound of the lightning was still ear-piercing. The majestic sword qi on the Heaven Seizing Sword blocked the power of the lightning. Su Yun's left hand was covered with a layer of white light. He directly reached out and took out the Lei Zhu.
There were seventeen Lei Zhu in total. Even with the isolation of the purple gas, it still caused Su Yun's arm to feel slightly numb.
Su Yun covered each of the Lei Zhu with a layer of purple gas and quickly put them away in his storage bracelet.
It was a long story, but Su Yun's series of actions were completed in an instant.
Then, he decisively turned around and directly sped towards the cave entrance at full speed.
… …
Outside the Lightning God Peak.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast's huge beast eyes were filled with doubt. After patrolling for a while, it did not find anything.
It slowly turned around and slowly flew towards the peak of the Lightning God Peak.
Shaochengtian and the others secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to continue moving, they suddenly realized that the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was actually hovering near the peak of the Lightning God Peak.
The few of them were bewildered. They did not know what was going on. The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast seemed to be carefully sensing something, but it also remained motionless.
This stalemate lasted for two breaths of time. Shaochengtian and the others were even prepared to directly use the power of space to teleport out.
"Roar …" Suddenly, a deafening roar like that of a dragon and a tiger rang out.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast's four lightning wings suddenly flapped at the same time. Its body directly turned into a purple lightning bolt and directly flew towards the peak of the Lightning God Peak. In an instant, it sank down from the peak.
Shaochengtian and the others looked at each other, unable to understand.
"Could it be because of Su Yun?!" Shaochengtian said in surprise.
There was only one possibility in this situation. Someone must have touched the Lei Zhu in the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast's cave abode!
The others also understood. "Then what should we do now?"
They had just witnessed the ferocity of the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast and were beginning to waver.
Shaochengtian gritted his teeth and said with a fierce look on his face, "This is a crisis, but it's also an opportunity! Let's go! Let's go in and take a look! "
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that a Spiritual Chief Stage cultivator with two Thunder Pearls would be halfway to the Spiritual Grandmaster stage!
"Alright! Let's go! "Since they had already alerted the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast, they were no longer afraid.
After all, even if the sky fell, the taller ones would hold it up.
After a while, everyone reached a consensus. Immediately, they moved as fast as they could at the Spiritual Leader stage, leaving only a few slowly dissipating afterimages behind them.
Every teenager who had been able to enter Aoran College had at least some means to protect themselves. At this point, they were ready to risk everything for the sake of the Lei Zhu.
Sensing the strong fluctuations of spiritual energy, the fat guy and the others rushed over as well.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast sank into the belly of Thunder God Peak from the top, its deafening roars filling the air.
Su Yun was already close to the entrance of the cave. Sensing the violent power of thunder coming from within, he sped up even more.
"Roar …" The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast roared. Lightning crackled around its body as it flapped its wings and darted into the tunnel.
It was going to turn the guy who had dared to touch the Lei Zhu into ashes!
"Whoosh …" A black figure suddenly shot out from the entrance of the cave. The figure drew a rapid arc in the air, leaving behind a black streak.
"It's Su Yun!" A teenager beside Shaochengtian was shocked.
"The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast suddenly became so irritable. Could it be that he already succeeded?!"
Thoughts flashed through their minds, and their flashing figures abruptly came to a halt.
"Let's go!"
They heard the black figure in the air let out a roar. They instantly understood something and turned around to leave.
This wasn't a suitable place to fight for the Lei Zhu. As long as he brought the Lei Zhu out, they would have plenty of opportunities to snatch it after this matter was over!
Su Yun used the Black Clouded Crane to fly in the air. His toes tapped on the tip of a large tree branch, and he flew up again. Then, he fell into the deep forest like a meteor.
"Roar …"
A deafening roar came from within the cave again. Su Yun looked at the flashing figures in front of him. They had already surrounded Su Yun!
Su Yun estimated that there should be nine teenagers in front of him. Their strengths were not ordinary. Five of them were spirit cultivators that Su Yun had robbed before. Among the other four, Su Yun only recognized Shaochengtian.
Since they took such a big risk to follow him, so what if he took a share of the loot! Su Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of pain.
"Lei Zhu! Catch! " Su Yun shouted. He waved his hand and three Lei Zhu flew forward. Along the way, the purple gas that covered Su Yun quietly dissipated.
When the teenagers in front saw Su Yun throw out three Lei Zhu, they did not suspect anything. Because the Lei Zhu's powerful undulations were not something that Su Yun could fake!
The figures of the nine people trembled and changed direction. They suddenly rushed toward the three lightning pearls that were flying toward them.
The fat guy had long been paying attention to Su Yun. At this moment, his reaction was the fastest. He kicked a deep hole in a large tree and rushed towards one of the Lei Zhu like a fierce tiger.
Shaochengtian, although his body had long since closed in, he did not have the slightest intention of attacking. Instead, the corner of his mouth curved into a mocking smile.
The fat guy's face was filled with joy. Because his hand had already grabbed onto the Lei Zhu.
"Screech … screech …" In the next moment, an ear-piercing sound came from his hand.
"Ah …" A mournful howl came from the fat guy's throat. His hand retracted as if it had been electrocuted.
The fat guy's face was distorted and extremely ferocious. His right forearm had been charred black. If he had not been well-versed in the Art of Body Refining, he was afraid that he would have lost his entire forearm!
"Idiot! The Lei Zhu is condensed from the power of Heaven and Earth. How can it be touched so easily? Su Yun, good calculation! "Shaochengtian's words not only reminded the rest of the people, but also drew the hatred to Su Yun.
Su Yun knew that Shaochengtian must have known that the fat guy would be seriously injured. However, he had waited until the fat guy was injured before warning him. His scheming made Su Yun's heart cold.
Hearing this, the fat guy turned to look at Su Yun. He did not hide the hatred in his eyes.
All brawn and no brains! Su Yun disdainfully ignored him.
He did not have time to explain, because behind him, a purple light had already rushed out of the cave.
"I've given you the items. Whether you can take them away or not will depend on your abilities." Su Yun used the Black Clouded Crane to fly. In the blink of an eye, he was already more than ten feet away.
Shaochengtian's eyes flashed with hesitation. He knew that Su Yun definitely had more Lei Zhu in his hands. However, he did not dare to gamble on how many Lei Zhu Su Yun had obtained. If these three Lei Zhu were to fall into the hands of the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast, there would be no chance of retrieving them.
Shaochengtian gritted his teeth. A layer of red light appeared on his hands. He carefully covered the three Lei Zhu. After a soft sound, he finally succeeded in storing them in his storage bracelet.
"I'll keep these three for now. Su Yun definitely has more Lei Zhu on him. When the time comes, we'll distribute them." There was no time to explain further. The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast had already followed the aura and chased after them.
Although the others were a little upset, they did not show it.
"Roar …" With an angry roar, the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast turned into a purple light and chased after the aura of the three Lei Zhu.
"Split up!" Shaochengtian shouted. He had already raised his speed to the limit.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast's main goal was to retrieve the seventeen Lei Zhu that had been stolen. It did not care about the other fellows that did not have the aura of thunder.
Su Yun was in front. Therefore, Shaochengtian became its first target.
"What a guy! He's so fast. " Su Yun could sense two figures flashing behind him. The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was getting closer and closer to Shaochengtian.
Su Yun pushed his speed to the limit. However, he could only keep up with Shaochengtian. On the other hand, the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was getting closer and closer.
"Thirty-eighth on the Ling Jue Leaderboard … I wonder what other trump cards Shaochengtian has." Su Yun thought.
With a quick thought, the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast caught up with Shaochengtian in a few breaths' time.
"Since he dares to barge into the Divine Thunder Mountain, he must have a way to escape." Su Yun hesitated for a moment. Then, he decided to retreat.
"Roar …"
The sound was like rolling thunder, rushing towards Su Yun.
"Oh no, I can't escape!" Su Yun was shocked. Then, he dodged to the side like a cat.
"Kacha …" There was a deafening sound. The ground where Su Yun was standing was charred black. When Su Yun turned around, he saw that there was still smoke coming out from the ground.
"It seems like the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast has already sensed the Lei Zhu on me!" Su Yun couldn't help but laugh bitterly. His gloating had already disappeared.
Shao Cheng Tian, this time we've become brothers in tribulation.
Since I can't escape, I'll meet it for a while!
Su Yun didn't retreat. Instead, he charged towards the roaring Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast.
Not far away, Shaochengtian and the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast were already fighting.
"Roar …" The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast roared towards the sky. Ever since it reached the fifth rank, it began to gather heavenly lightning and condense the Lei Zhu. Now, it had already completed seventeen out of eighteen. Now, it was disturbed by these two hateful human brats who stole the Lei Zhu. How could it let them go so easily?
Shaochengtian's expression was serious. The Magistrate's Brush in his hands emitted strong spiritual energy fluctuations. His aura rose sharply, resisting the pressure of the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast.
"I haven't seen him for more than a month, and he's actually made such great progress." Su Yun sighed in his heart. He was indeed one of the top geniuses of Aoran College. His abilities in all aspects couldn't be underestimated.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast's body surged with lightning. As it roared, two thunderbolts attacked Shaochengtian.
The two thunderbolts flickered with a strange purple light and made sizzling sounds. They streaked across the sky and headed straight for Shaochengtian. Shaochengtian's body bowed slightly. He activated the spiritual energy in his Dan Sea with all his might. The two Magistrate's Brushes in his hands emitted a bright red light. He retracted them slightly. When the thunderbolts approached him, he suddenly pointed them forward and met the two purple thunderbolts head-on.
"Boom …" A dull explosion suddenly sounded. Shaochengtian's body took a few steps back, leaving a few deep footprints on the ground.
Su Yun saw this and was shocked. Clearly, it was only now that he realized the huge gap between him and the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast.
Shaochengtian was still in high spirits, as if nothing had happened to him. However, at this moment, his hair was disheveled and his clothes were torn and a little burnt. He looked indescribably miserable.
A casual attack from the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was enough to make Shaochengtian look so miserable. The gap between their strengths was self-evident.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was also paying attention to Su Yun. It only attacked Shaochengtian when Su Yun turned around. It was obviously not satisfied with the effect of this attack.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast roared again. Its long purple tail moved fiercely and drew an arc in the air. It directly whipped Su Yun, who was flying over.
Su Yun was currently wearing a black robe, which somewhat restricted his movements. He directly shook his spiritual energy, and the black robe on his body was torn into pieces and danced in the air.
A rusty iron sword instantly appeared in Su Yun's crystal clear right hand.
In an instant, a fierce aura suddenly soared, forming a murderous intent.
"Sword Intent!" Shaochengtian could not help but exclaim softly. The last time he saw Su Yun, his Sword Qi was still immature. However, in just over a month's time, he had already touched on Sword Intent. This speed of improvement was really shocking.
"I wonder who would win if I had a fair fight with him." Such a thought appeared in Shaochengtian's mind, and he was shocked by it.
On the other side, the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast's purple tail was in front of him in the blink of an eye. Su Yun swung his sword at the same time.
"Bang … Bang …"
There was an ear-piercing sound. Lightning crackled where the sword and tail collided, and sparks flickered on the Heaven-Seizing Sword.
The Heaven Seizing Sword did not move at all, Su Yun's body flew out fiercely in the air, the slender tail whip whipped past the Heaven Seizing Sword's body, and a bolt of lightning that missed directly struck into the distance, turning a gigantic ancient tree into fine powder.
"Bang …" Su Yun's figure also rushed into the deep forest, along the way, he broke a few big trees. Until the last moment, he shot down countless of flying leaves and finally stopped.
"Pfft …"
Su Yun tasted something sweet in the back of his throat. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his organs were almost displaced.
"Damn it. How am I supposed to play this game? It's not on the same level at all! "Su Yun smiled bitterly to himself. After only one contact, Su Yun knew that he had no chance of fighting back.
Although the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was only at the peak of the fifth rank, it was no less powerful than a Spiritual Grandmaster.
Its body, in particular, was so strong that even a late-stage Spiritual Grandmaster would have to avoid it in a fight of pure physical strength!
Seeing this, not only did Shao Cheng Tian not have a trace of ridicule, his heart became even more serious. This Su Yun had already matured and was definitely a strong enemy!
The two of them stopped trying to outwit each other. After all, the most important thing to do now was to figure out how to get away.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast didn't seem as irritable as before when it sensed that all 17 Lei Zhu were on them. It didn't think that these two insignificant spirit cultivators would be able to escape from under its nose.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast wasn't in a hurry to attack again after the first strike. The teenager's energy was quite interesting.
The two of them knew that the mutated Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was as intelligent as an eight or nine-year-old child now that it had reached the fifth rank. They might be able to turn things around.
However, the result disappointed them.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was only dazed for a moment before it flapped its four lightning wings again and slowly approached the two of them.
Su Yun and Shaochengtian were in the same boat, so they slowly approached each other.
They had underestimated how much the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast valued the Lei Zhu.
However, it was impossible for them to spit out what they had eaten so easily!
"What should we do?" Su Yun cleared his throat and asked.
Shaochengtian smiled wryly. "I don't think there's a way out of this."
"Are we just going to give it back to it?" Su Yun wasn't willing to give up.
"Do we have any other choice now?" Although Shao Cheng Tian said this, he didn't show it in his actions.
Su Yun knew that, just like him, Su Yun wouldn't give in until the very last moment.
The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Beast floated above the two. Its huge body formed a shadow that shrouded the two. At the same time, it also shrouded their hearts.
