Chapter 502: It's to Kill You
Xia Yushan didn’t have time to care about Zi Zun as a foot slammed into his chest. He flew backward and flipped several times on the ground before skidding to a stop on his feet. Although he didn’t leak any blood from his lips or anything similar, a dense, spiderweb-like crack filled his chest.
Xi Longtian didn’t continue to press him and instead unleashed several more slices. He only had time to unleash one more slash before Zi Zun’s form flashed away. “As expected of the Law of Lightning. Its instantaneous speed is enviable.”
He turned around and stared at Zi Zun, who had reappeared next to Xia Yushan. The corner of his lips quirked upward. “But you shouldn’t be feeling good now, right?”
Zi Zun gritted his teeth. He could feel a foreign qi inside his body, continuously attacking his electrified body. He had to use more qi to overpower the black qi in his body and destroy them before they destroyed his body. The high usage of qi almost made him want to turn the technique off and change his lightning body back to one of flesh and blood. However, Zi Zun didn’t. He knew that if he allowed the black qi to touch his immortal body, it would injure him even more.
At the epitome of the Thunder Duke’s inheritance, he would be able to merge nine thunders into a divine thunder and use it to shape a new body. Not only would he gain a permanent elemental body that did not require constant qi consumption, unlike the forced transformation he currently had, but he would also enter the Divine Realm.
“Brother Xia, can you delay him for a minute?” Zi Zun asked.
Xia Yushan wanted to answer, but Xi Longtian took action. He did not have the mercy to let his enemies strategize. Still, Xia Yushan gave an imperceptible nod as he strode forth and clashed sword against saber.
Zi Zun flashed away until he was outside the palace. A hint of urgency appeared on his face. Although he trusted Xia Yushan’s defensive capabilities, it did not detract from the huge threat he felt from Xi Longtian. Both he and Xia Yushan had miscalculated Xi Longtian’s power.
Once outside, he flew high into the sky and closed his eyes. Storm clouds gathered at a visible pace. Although the cultivators of the Xi Dynasty noticed him, not even a single one was in the Immortal Realm and could do nothing against him. Even if the Xi Dynasty received a first-rate cultivation method, the amount of talented people who could reach the Immortal Realm was still too low.
