Chapter 303: Chapter 302: Capture
"Impossible, impossible!"
Thundercloud roared and slammed his palm on the ground before charging forward. The Thunder Divine Pattern on his body erupted completely. In an instant, all the Divine Runes were unshackled, and all the Power of thunder and lightning converged into a thick beam of Thunder Light, piercing toward them.
A massive Thunder Dragon opened its great maw, swallowing both Yi Tianyun and Ye Qingxuan. The terrifying Power of thunder and lightning was so immense that even the Spirit Race deacons, standing far away, could feel the dreadful force bombarding Yi Tianyun.
"Holy Daughter!"
They all cried out in alarm but didn’t dare get any closer. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to help, but with their level of strength, even approaching would be a death sentence. How could they possibly help?
"Just die, all of you!" Thundercloud’s face was twisted in a savage grin. He watched Yi Tianyun and the others, who were enveloped in the Thunder Light, with a cold sneer. He felt no pity, even if Ye Qingxuan were to be struck dead.
To him, none of this mattered anymore. Anyone who dared to oppose him was courting death!
But a moment later, the Thunder Light vanished, completely absorbed by the Celestial Thunder Divine Pearl. What met Thundercloud’s eyes was Yi Tianyun’s mocking expression. "I already told you, this is useless. If your Celestial Thunder were several dozen times stronger, I might not be able to handle it. But as it is, it’s just pathetically weak."
The two of them were completely unharmed. The incoming Celestial Thunder had been absorbed entirely, with not a trace left behind! The terrifying effect of the Celestial Thunder Divine Pearl made everyone’s eyes widen. ’With such a terrifying effect, could it have reached the level of a Sacred Artifact?’
"Th-this..." Thundercloud was stunned. He had expected to see two corpses, but instead, he saw two people without a single scratch. All the Power of thunder and lightning he had unleashed had been completely siphoned away.
The Power of thunder and lightning within his Thunder Divine Pattern had been completely expended; he had no major attacks left to unleash. At most, he could resort to physical attacks and minor lightning strikes, but with his strongest power gone, how could his ordinary attacks possibly be effective against Yi Tianyun?
"Impossible, impossible, impossible!"
Thundercloud roared and threw a punch at Yi Tianyun. His entire body swelled up as his furious fist smashed down, the Power of thunder and lightning still swirling around him.
"A fistfight? I like the sound of that!"
Yi Tianyun gently pushed Ye Qingxuan aside, then swung a powerful fist of his own, meeting Thundercloud’s head-on. The expressions of the others changed, and the Spirit Race deacons hurriedly shouted from the side.
"Don’t trade punches with him! His physical strength is immense!"
Before their words could even fade, the two fists had already collided. With a loud THUD, Thundercloud was sent flying, crashing violently into a giant tree. His entire arm was twisted out of shape. It was obvious from this single exchange that Thundercloud’s strength was a whole level below Yi Tianyun’s; he was completely outclassed.
Everyone immediately fell silent. They had been kind enough to offer a warning, only to realize it was completely unnecessary. Yi Tianyun’s own strength was just as overwhelming; he didn’t need the Celestial Thunder Divine Pearl to suppress Thundercloud!
The next moment, Yi Tianyun wasted no more words and charged forward. Before Thundercloud could even get back on his feet, Yi Tianyun had already landed a heavy kick on his Dantian. A violent power gathered at a single point and then erupted within his Dantian!
BAM!
Thundercloud was slammed hard against the giant tree, his face contorted in pain. He immediately let out a blood-curdling scream, "You... you actually destroyed my Dantian! Cough, cough, cough..." As he spoke, he coughed up mouthfuls of blood, in extreme agony.
Yi Tianyun had crippled his Dantian. This meant that for now, he was a cripple. To restore his Dantian and be able to cultivate again, he would need Elixir Pills of at least the fifth grade. However, not only was the cost immense, but recovering his previous cultivation level would also be incredibly difficult.
With his Dantian crippled, Thundercloud was much more docile. Without his cultivation, all he had left was a decent Physique, which made him far easier to control.
"If I didn’t destroy your Dantian, was I supposed to let you beat me? Idiot!" Yi Tianyun sneered, then turned to Ye Qingxuan. "He’s all yours. How you deal with him is your business now."
"Mhm!" Ye Qingxuan nodded, her gaze fixed on Thundercloud. A cold glint appeared in her beautiful eyes. "Thundercloud, it’s finally time to settle this score!"
With that, she cracked the silver whip in her hand, wrapping it around Thundercloud and completely binding him as a prisoner.
"Qingxuan, if you don’t let me go, be careful what happens to the Ancestors!" Thundercloud threatened, even at a time like this.
SLAP! Ye Qingxuan slapped him hard across the face, leaving Thundercloud with a mouthful of blood.
"You dare to hit me!"
SLAP!
Ye Qingxuan slapped him hard again, showing no mercy and knocking out several of his teeth.
"So what if I hit you? Not killing you on the spot is the greatest mercy I can show you!" Ye Qingxuan looked at him coldly, then turned and began dragging him back. "Let’s go. We’re heading back to the clan!"
"Yes!"
They all followed her back. The great stone weighing on their hearts had finally lightened a little. This batch of invaders had been eliminated; all that remained was to plan the rescue of the Ancestors.
"Ding! Successfully completed ’Save the Spirit Race’ Quest Three: ’Repel the Invaders from the Netherworld Empire’. Reward: 30,000,000 experience points, 100,000 Madness Value, 5,000 Sin Value, and Spirit Race Favorability +50!"
"Ding! Successfully accepted ’Save the Spirit Race’ Quest Four: ’Rescue the Spirit Race People Caged in the Netherworld Empire’. Reward: 50,000,000 experience points, 200,000 Madness Value, 5,000 Sin Value, and Spirit Race Favorability +50!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
The fourth quest appeared immediately after the third was completed, which didn’t surprise Yi Tianyun in the slightest. ’I knew the Spirit Race still had many things left to do. The rescue is a must. If I want to become the King of the Spirit Race, I have to act as their Savior and rescue the entire race. Only then will they be truly convinced and willingly choose me as their king!’
However, this was just his speculation. Whether or not he would ultimately succeed depended on the rescue mission itself, and the difficulty was certainly not to be underestimated.
Soon, they returned to the Spirit Race’s domain. Many Spirit Race People gathered around, and when they saw the captured Thundercloud, their eyes filled with rage. It was all because of him that the Spirit Race had fallen into such a dire state!
When they learned that Yi Tianyun was responsible for all this, they were all shocked. At the same time, their favorability toward him skyrocketed, and Yi Tianyun’s fame spread like wildfire among them. freewebnøvel.coɱ
This made Yi Tianyun sigh with emotion. ’This just proves my efforts weren’t in vain.’
