Li Qingshan's eyebrows immediately rose. Who had eaten the guts of a leopard and dared to cause trouble at his place?
The curtain of night was dark, and dark clouds shrouded the sky. Thunder rumbled incessantly, and the world flickered between light and darkness.
Amidst the interweaving lightning, a familiar figure stood in the vault of heaven. His tattered Taoist robe fluttered even though there was no wind. Lightning coiled around his body like dragons and snakes, making him look like a Thunder God descending into the world.
Wasn't that Zhou Tong!
"This old Daoist has already passed the Heavenly Tribulation!" Li Qingshan thought to himself. He looked up into the clouds again and discovered that Zhou Tong was not alone. A Soaring Dragon ship had stopped in the sea of clouds.
On the deck were the heads of the Bai Clan, led by Liu Changqing.
The cannons shot out beams of light, causing the formation to flicker, on the verge of shattering.
While Li Qingshan was refining the Watermirror disc, Zhou Tong was refining the Lightning Slaughter wooden sword once more, finally taking that step and forming the Divine Thunder Pearl, the so-called Golden Core realm.
After resting for a while, the first thing he did was to take revenge.
The Hundred Schools of Thought also gained confidence when they saw a Golden Core Realm cultivator taking the lead. They took out the Flying Dragon Warship that the Mo Clan had spent several years to build and came to help.
Liu Changqing's face flickered with the light from the lightning. He also wanted to take back his Watermirror disc. He looked down at the Moon Court underwater dwelling anxiously, but after thinking for a moment, he said to Juechenzi, "I'll take it back.
"Juechenzi, looks like the Moon Devil really isn't here. Persuade your master to hold back after we break through the formation. Don't start a massacre."
The war finally subsided, and the Moon Devil had the upper hand in the past. He didn't try to kill them all. It was fine if he vented his anger, but if he started a huge battle, then he might as well not take the Watermirror Disc.
It was also because of this worry that they did not attack together. Otherwise, with the Flying Dragon Ship's Dragon Roar main cannon, the Moon Court Underwater Mansion would have been destroyed long ago.
Hwa Seung-zan said, "That's right. Even if the Moon Devil comes, he can't do anything to us. Have him hand over the Watermirror Disk and leave the Moon … Clear Court Lake. "
Juechenzi looked troubled. "This … Master is in high spirits right now …"
"There's no need for you to tell me. I want to force the Moon Devil to come out and fight me again. All of you are not allowed to interfere. This old Taoist will beat him until he kneels and begs for mercy. If he's willing to obediently hand over the Watermirror Disc and scram out of Moon Court Lake, I'll spare his life! "
Zhou Tong's voice boomed like thunder, reverberating back to the Soaring Dragon ship. Although he had a violent temper, he was able to distinguish between gratitude and grudges. He also knew that the Moon Devil had held back, so he was naturally unwilling to be inferior to a demon.
"Ox-nose, you sure talk big. Whose life do you want to spare?"
A loud roar came from the lake. Li Qingshan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking up at the sky. His scarlet hair fluttered in the wind, looking as fierce as fire.
Zhou Tong's eyes lit up. He pointed the Thunder Slaughter Sword at Li Qingshan and roared thunderously, "Monster, you've finally dared to come out. Do you dare fight me?"
The lightning in the sky retracted and gathered on his body, shining brilliantly. It flickered incessantly, like a sun formed from lightning. It continuously absorbed the lightning in the clouds, growing larger and larger. It could be seen from five hundred kilometers away, containing a terrifying destructive power.
Li Qingshan laughed loudly. "I see that you don't want that broken sword in your hand anymore. Give it to me for roasting chicken!"
Their voices were loud and clear, shaking the Heavens and Earth, as if two gods were conversing with each other.
Zhou Tong's expression changed as he felt the pain. "What a monster. You won't give up until you see your coffin."
"Good old Taoist. You won't give up until you see a roasted chicken. What's so great about you cultivating to Golden Core? Lightning, disperse! "
Li Qingshan suddenly extended his hands, as if he had grabbed something, and tore it to the left and right.
The dark clouds in the sky suddenly split apart, as if the curtains of a stage were slowly pulled open, revealing a sky full of stars and a crescent moon.
The cultivators on the Soaring Dragon Warship were all stunned, their faces pale from the moonlight.
This power was unbelievably strong, not something a Daemon General could possess. It almost had the might of Gu Yanying when she opened up the sky battlefield in the past.
Hwa Seung-zan said, "This is probably the power of the Water God. Although the Moon Devil failed to overcome the heavenly tribulation, he has become stronger. This battle won't be easy."
The other cultivators did not think much of it. No matter how strong the Moon Devil was, he was only a Daemon General. How could he be a match for a Golden Core cultivator?
Zhou Tong immediately lost the timing and was unable to absorb the lightning power from the clouds. His expression turned solemn as he pointed with the Thunder Slaughter Sword in his hand.
The lightning that illuminated five hundred kilometers like a blazing sun suddenly brightened, turning the world white.
When they returned to their senses, a zigzagging lightning mark was left on their retinas. With such speed, who could dodge it?
A huge hole had appeared on the surface of Moon Court Lake. It was several dozen meters deep. Not only was the lake water evaporated, even the rocks below were melted. Who would be able to withstand such power?
However, the instant the lightning struck, Li Qingshan dodged. Spreading his wings of wind, he turned into a scarlet streak of light and pierced into the sky.
Lightning flashed so fiercely that even the cultivators on the Soaring Dragon Warship could not keep their eyes open.
No matter how fast the Moon Devil was, he could not be faster than lightning. No one could escape from such an attack. Furthermore, a casual strike was even stronger than the full-powered strike Zhou Tong had summoned in the past. Just a single strike was enough to determine the victor. This was the great power of a Golden Core cultivator!
However, they soon realized that they were wrong! The Moon Devil's figure soared freely among the lightning. He transformed, shuttled, and soared like a divine bird fighting against lightning. Not a single bolt of lightning could hit him.
Zhou Tong was shocked as well. "That's impossible!"
Li Qingshan opened his eyes. Bolts of lightning also flickered in his eyes, but they were not the remnants of the lightning. Instead, they were from before the lightning had erupted. Otherwise, no matter how fast the wings of wind were, they would still seem slow compared to the speed of lightning.
It could be said that once Zhou Tong struck, it would basically be too late for his opponent to dodge.
In the past, he had to use the Astral Steps in order to release lightning of sufficient power. It would take quite a lot of trouble, and he could even give his opponent an opportunity to dodge beforehand.
Now, a casual strike from him would possess startling power, and it would be continuous. This was the terror of lightning. Zhou Tong, who practised the Divine Heaven Method of Lightning Wielding, did indeed have the right to be proud.
Although he had just undergone the second heavenly tribulation, he could probably look down on all early Golden Core cultivators. In a true battle of life and death, even some mid Golden Core cultivators might not be his opponent.
However, Li Qingshan could use the power of the spirit turtle to see that moment of future. In the blink of an eye, he approached Zhou Tong. No matter how powerful a cultivator's techniques were, the fragility of their bodies remained their greatest weakness.
"Be careful, senior Zhou!"
"Hmph, I'm waiting!" Zhou Tong suddenly slammed his palm against the sun of lightning before him.
Boom!
In that moment, like a dance of silver snakes, countless bolts of lightning were released, weaving into a net of electricity and producing an unbelievably great rumble of thunder.
Even the cultivators on the Soaring Dragon ship felt their heads shudder. They were dazzled.
Although they knew Zhou Tong was on their side, they could not help but feel shocked. The interweaving net of electricity was a zone of death. If they were in there, only death would await them, no matter how many Foundation Establishment cultivators there were.
Li Qingshan had already reacted earlier, but even though he could see the trajectory of the lightning, he was unable to dodge within the dense net of electricity. Originally, he wanted to unleash the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell to block it forcefully, but he suddenly thought of something and waved his hand.
The pieces of the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell formed a huge mirror. He unleashed both of the spirit turtle's abilities.
The violent lightning landed on the mirror, but most of it was reflected.
Li Qingshan stood behind the mirror, completely unscathed. He thought, This move seems to be limited in close combat, but it seems to have a wondrous effect against techniques, especially against Zhou Tong's flashing lightning.
Zhou Tong immediately widened his eyes. After undergoing the second heavenly tribulation, not only had he condensed a Divine Lightning pearl, but the Lightning Slaughter sword had also become stronger after being tempered by the heavenly tribulation, yet it had been blocked so easily.
Li Qingshan actually did not have it easy for him to block it. Although the reflection vaguely countered Zhou Tong's lightning, it took up a tremendous amount of his mind to maintain the mirror, which made his daemon qi plummet.
Normally, he could consider retreating, but he was on Moon Court lake, so he did not have to worry about his daemon qi being depleted. Taking advantage of Zhou Tong's shock, he flew up.
When he was still thirty meters away from Zhou Tong, he extended his hand. His arm suddenly swelled and extended, turning into a huge, pitch-black hand that fell towards Zhou Tong's head.
Lightning erupted from Zhou Tong's body, and Li Qingshan felt like he had been stung viciously. First, there was a sharp pain, followed by a feeling of numbness that spread through his entire body. His body slowed down, but he gritted his teeth and forcefully grabbed down.
A bolt of lightning flew out from between his fingers, and Zhou Tong's figure changed drastically. The lightning wove into the figure of the Lord of Thunder, wielding a hammer in one hand and a awl in the other. He had finally unleashed the ultimate move that he had never used before, but it was more fluid and clear, as if it was tangible.
Zhou Tong roared out furiously, "Divine might is like a prison, Lord of Thunder strikes daemons!"
Boom!
The Lord of Thunder struck the awl with the hammer, and a bolt of lightning shot out, vaguely purple.
Li Qingshan knew that he definitely could not reflect this move back. With a flap of his wings of wind, he dodged in advance. The trajectory of the lightning suddenly changed, piercing the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell viciously and striking him.
Li Qingshan shuddered. In that instant, he actually lost control over his body. The wings of wind shattered, and he directly fell towards Moon Court lake.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
How could Zhou Tong let such a great opportunity slip by? He unfurled his wings of lightning and directly descended in pursuit. The Lord of Thunder struck the lightning hammer in its hand again and again, and bolts of violet lightning struck Li Qingshan's body.
As soon as Li Qingshan gathered his daemon qi, it was ripped to shreds by the lightning. His body was completely paralyzed by the lightning, leaving him unable to fight back.
Clashing with Golden Core cultivators sure is dangerous! There will always be a thousand variations. The slightest carelessness can lead to death on the spot.
In Li Qingshan's body, the Water God Seal gave off ripple-like rings of light, reaching the edge of Moon Court lake in the blink of an eye.
The calm lake water suddenly began to churn.
Splash!
A stream of water rose up from the lake, like the Milky Way flowing backwards. It rushed into the sky, turning into a colossal hand that slammed towards Zhou Tong.
