Free Web NovelChapter 671: Chapter 91: Thunderbolt
"Hmm?"
Before Chen Tang could react, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking his head instantaneously.
Crack!
The next moment, he heard the sound of thunder.
Chen Tang’s entire body went rigid, his eyes glazed over as he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and limbs, his long hair emitting thick smoke, and his entire body’s Qi and blood suddenly halted, causing him to plummet from midair.
"Ah!"
Seeing this scene, the crowd gasped in shock.
Li Junqing looked worried.
Standing atop the city wall, Ling Guang surveyed from above, quickly noticing something amiss, pointing and frowning in that direction: "It’s that Female Barbarian Master! She didn’t die earlier and escaped in the chaos!"
At this moment, the Female Barbarian Master was hiding among the Mad Lion Army, her entire being seemingly in another state, eyes all white, standing before a large drum, swinging her arms as the drumsticks in her hands continuously struck the drum’s surface.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The drumming and the thunder in the sky echoed each other.
As the drumming intensified, the thunder in the sky grew more frequent!
"Quick, kill that Female Barbarian Master!"
Disregarding his injuries, Ling Guang leapt off the city wall, shouting loudly toward the battlefield.
Li Boxiong and Changsun Ming quickly reacted, hastily mobilizing their troops, charging toward the direction of the Female Barbarian Master.
"Protect the Rain God Master with all your strength!"
Mad Lion Tuer shouted loudly.
He had already realized that the Rain God Master was the key to this battle.
They couldn’t restrain Chen Tang, but the Rain God Master summoning lightning could cause massive damage and influence on him!
At this moment, Chen Tang’s entire body was numb.
Fortunately, he had cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Body, otherwise being struck by lightning, half his life would have been lost.
At this moment, Chen Tang struggled to stand up from the ground.
A group of Mad Lion Army who were closest wanted to encircle and kill him.
But as the weapons like swords and halberds slashed at his body, they all rebounded off one after another.
Even if Chen Tang stood still here, ordinary soldiers couldn’t harm him in the slightest!
"Get out of the way!"
Mad Lion Tuer roared angrily, seeing that Chen Tang had already stood up, yet a group of soldiers was still blocking his path.
Anxious, he swung the Mountain-opening Giant Axe, carving a bloody path!
After a brief moment of adjustment, Chen Tang gradually recovered, his Qi and blood surging, and his inner Qi circulating.
Seeing Mad Lion Tuer and Bashish Red Peak approaching, he quickly used his body technique to escape.
However, having just been struck by lightning once, the circulation of his bloodline and inner Qi was no longer as smooth and free as before, his body technique also slower.
"Brother Diao, go kill the one summoning the lightning!"
Chen Tang hurriedly called out.
The current situation was that Mad Lion Tuer and Bashish Red Peak, two Grandmasters, were chasing him.
And the main force of the Barbarian Army was gathered around the Female Barbarian Master, in layers upon layers.
Tens of thousands of soldiers formed a human shield.
Even if Li Boxiong and the others had cavalry charging, it was hard to break through and tear open a hole.
Little Golden Roc attacking from the sky might have some chance.
Upon hearing Chen Tang’s call, Little Golden Roc immediately understood, quickly spotting the Female Barbarian Master, diving down.
A flash of golden light!
"Dong!"
Just as Little Golden Roc got close, a huge drumbeat sounded, causing its figure to stagger, nearly plummeting headfirst.
"Protect the Rain God Master!"
Several commanders reacted swiftly, raising their arms and shouting.
Some drew bow and arrow, shooting towards Little Golden Roc.
Others directly threw their Long Spears.
A group of shield soldiers quickly rushed forward, surrounding the Female Barbarian Master, holding their Giant Shields above their heads, covering the Female Barbarian Master’s head, blocking the last flaw.
Even if Little Golden Roc attacked again, it was difficult to break through the defense.
Just earlier, as the drumbeat sounded, another bolt of lightning descended from the sky.
Chen Tang sensed it, trying to dodge.
But the lightning came too fast!
Crack!
Chen Tang was struck directly by the major lightning, emitting black smoke, and again plummeted from midair.
Moreover, this time the lightning was significantly more powerful than the first!
The previous time, Chen Tang only felt his head go numb, his body turned numb.
This time, it struck him with excruciating pain, his body uncontrollably twitching and convulsing.
Even more troublesome, Mad Lion Tuer and Bashish Red Peak, full of killing intent and ferocious expressions, had already charged close.
The two Grandmasters, holding in a bellyful of anger, were waiting for this moment!
"Die!"
Bashish Red Peak raised the Wolf Fang Club, unleashing his anger, viciously smashing towards Chen Tang’s skull.
Mad Lion Tuer swung the Mountain-opening Giant Axe, chopping down towards Chen Tang’s position, with immense force.
Chen Tang struggled to regain consciousness, his Vajra Heart rapidly pulsating, directing his Qi and blood, barely raising his double hammers to protect himself.
Clang! Clang!
Two resounding crashes, deafening and loud.
Chen Tang, struck down by Bashish Red Peak, his stature lowered, almost kneeling to the ground.
His Qi and blood, inner Qi, under the impact of the Power of Thunder and Lightning, had not fully recovered, unable to withstand even Bashish Red Peak’s assault.
And as Mad Lion Tuer’s Mountain-opening Giant Axe struck down, Chen Tang’s entire body shook, one of his Golden Hammers flung from his hands, unable to withstand the impact, instantly flung away.
While in midair, he coughed up fresh blood!
The soldiers atop Liangzhou City, witnessing this scene, had their hearts leap.
On the battlefield, the situation shifted dramatically.
In the blink of an eye, the tide had turned!
Li Yan’s expression was grave, and his heart burned with impatience.
Chen Tang was injured and looked to be in bad shape.
If Chen Tang were to die, no one could withstand the two Grandmasters and the Mad Lion Army, and Liangzhou City would still face the fate of being destroyed.
Take advantage of his weakness to take his life!
Mad Lion Tuer and Bashish Red Peak both pursued together, determined to utterly kill Chen Tang.
A streak of black light suddenly shot out from an angle, just in time to catch the falling Chen Tang plummeting from the sky.
At this critical moment, the Thunder Leopard once again rushed to the rescue!
The Thunder Leopard didn’t care about Liangzhou City or the lives of others; it just didn’t want Chen Tang to die here.
The Thunder Leopard let out a long howl, carrying Chen Tang, and sprinted away in a flash.
Once it started running, even a Grandmaster couldn’t catch up.
"Damn it!"
The duck that was almost caught flew away, prompting an angry curse from Mad Lion Tuer.
If I had known this day would come, I should have personally dealt with that beast from the start!
"Chieftain, don’t worry, don’t forget there’s the Rain God Master."
Bashish Red Peak quickly said, pointing overhead.
The Thunder Leopard, carrying Chen Tang, may have escaped the pursuit of the two Grandmasters, but it hadn’t escaped the black cloud overhead.
Chen Tang gradually regained some strength, struggling to sit up, and looked up at the sky with a grave expression.
Before he could speak, another flash of lightning streaked across.
Crack!
A thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking both Thunder Leopard and Chen Tang.
"Ao!"
The Thunder Leopard let out a painful cry, its legs weakening, and it fell to the ground.
Yet as it fell, it made every effort to keep its body stable, kneeling on all fours to prevent Chen Tang from falling off.
This lightning bolt was noticeably thicker and much more powerful than the previous ones.
Chen Tang looked down to see blood seeping out in patches on his body.
Even his Vajra Indestructible Body couldn’t withstand it; it had been breached!
The Thunder Leopard whined and struggled to stand, trying several times but failing to get up.
Chen Tang clearly saw that blood was seeping through the gaps in the Thunder Leopard’s Qilin Armor, staining its mane red!
"Hahaha, let’s see where you run now!"
Bashish Red Peak’s laughter came, drawing closer and closer!
Chen Tang slid off the Thunder Leopard’s back, coughing up blood as he gasped: "You should run on your own, don’t worry about me!"
The Thunder Leopard shook its head repeatedly, indicating for Chen Tang to get back on, showing it could still hold on.
But as it shook its head, strands of blood were flung out from its nostrils.
When he first met the Thunder Leopard, Chen Tang always thought it was timid and cowardly, always hiding away during battles.
Until the battle at the East Sea.
Faced with the pursuit of a True Dragon, the Thunder Leopard carried him, forging a path to survival under the scorching Dragon Flame...
It wasn’t until that moment that Chen Tang truly understood the Thunder Leopard.
The same was true today. The Thunder Leopard knew clearly that carrying Chen Tang would mean enduring the strikes of Divine Thunder, yet it still pressed on without hesitation.
Chen Tang didn’t want the Thunder Leopard to suffer because of him. Clutching the lone Golden Hammer he had left, he stumbled toward the side.
Withstanding the power of two Grandmasters and being struck by Divine Thunder three times, his body was already battered, his vision darkening, barely able to hold on!
But he hadn’t taken many steps before the Thunder Leopard followed, refusing to leave.
The Thunder Leopard remained kneeling on all fours, head low, holding onto the corner of Chen Tang’s clothes, urging him to get back on.
"Good horse."
Tears filled Chen Tang’s tiger-like eyes as he struggled to raise his hand and gently stroked the Thunder Leopard’s forehead.
The two Grandmasters were drawing closer!
And the thunder overhead was becoming more frequent.
The clouds were thick like ink; lightning and thunder filled the sky, clearly still gathering strength!
The two Grandmasters seemed to notice something, pausing their steps, leisurely watching the man and horse not far away.
Chen Tang gripped the Golden Hammer tightly, clenching his teeth, his gaze flickering.
He was living his second life. Dying here wouldn’t matter.
In these years, he had lived a life full of excitement.
But if he died, Li Junqing, Changsun Ming, everyone from the Li Family, the soldiers of Liangzhou City, and the city’s civilians would fall victim to the Barbarian Race’s slaughter, with no escape.
He would never see Qingmu again, avenge his elder brother, or fulfill his promise to Ye Yushi.
If he died, the Thunder Leopard would die here too.
Countless Martial Arts skills and final trump cards flashed through Chen Tang’s mind, but he still couldn’t find a way to break the situation.
Even gathering Karmic Fire couldn’t withstand the might of Divine Thunder.
What’s more, he was severely wounded and couldn’t even gather the Karmic Fire.
Though a clump of Sword Intent had been honed in his chest, his damaged Divine Soul couldn’t drive this Sword Intent at all.
Was he really going to die here today?
Chen Tang was unwilling.
He looked up at the increasingly dense black cloud in the sky.
This cloud seemed to drip ink, spinning slowly above him and forming an enormous swirling black vortex!
At the very center of that vortex, brilliant streaks of lightning intertwined, forming a terrifying and majestic sea of lightning.
The flickering light from the lightning cast an alternating bright and dark glow on Chen Tang’s face.
Once this Divine Thunder descended, it could destroy heaven and earth!
This was the might of the heavens, the power of nature, beyond human resistance!
Wait!
A spark of inspiration flashed in Chen Tang’s mind; he suddenly thought of something.
