Chapter 752: Spirit Weapon Thunder Beast
Boom—!
The black malevolent aura surrounding Demon Cao Yuan exploded outward, causing the surrounding air to thunder. At supersonic speed, he charged directly toward the white-robed Disaster of War.
At the same time, Baili Pangpang reached out and gripped the floating cyan thimble. The jade armor spread over his body like a tide, a ragged cloak draped behind him, along with necklaces, bracelets, ram's horns… piece after piece of Forbidden Artifact was worn on him as if they cost nothing, emanating a brilliant jeweled radiance.
His form cloaked in the Forbidden Artifact's glow, he charged forward behind Demon Cao Yuan.
Three figures collided!
Malevolent blade qi, Forbidden Artifact radiance, and Disaster of War's invisible blade light frantically tore at the surrounding ground. Every building within a five-kilometer radius was destroyed by the aftershocks. The entire battlefield had become a hellish修罗场 where heaven and earth were being torn apart.
Among the flying debris, Disaster of War pressed one palm against Cao Yuan's Straight Blade while grasping the ram's horn that Baili Pangpang had thrust at him. His fingertips flicked gently, and a fierce blade aura poured directly into the horn, shattering it from the center!
Baili Pangpang's Forbidden Artifact could not withstand Disaster of War's destructive power.
After the ram's horn shattered, Baili Pangpang's figure rapidly retreated, narrowly evading Disaster of War's hand reaching toward his chest.
Demon Cao Yuan took over from Baili Pangpang to entangle Disaster of War. As the portly boy stepped back and steadied himself, he lowered his gaze to the fragments of the ram's horn in his palm, his eyes filled with heartache.
"You dare destroy my Forbidden Artifact?" Baili Pangpang raised his head to look at Disaster of War, a hint of anger surfacing in his eyes. "Do you really think young master is easy to bully?!"
As his words fell, he seemed to have made some decision and looked up toward the sky above.
Beneath him, a massive black-and-white Taiji bagua diagram spread out, slowly rotating, emanating a mysterious rhythm.
He raised his hand and lightly grasped toward the漆黑的夜空 (pitch-black night sky).
"Everything… Disarm!"
Ka-ching—!!
A thunderbolt tore through the night curtain. In the deafening roar, there seemed to be some kind of howl echoing under the night sky. Dense lightning suddenly surged from the clouds, transforming into a lightning vortex swirling above Tokyo.
This sudden thunder vortex caused several Oracle Envoys to freeze in place simultaneously.
From it, they sensed an inexplicably familiar aura…
"Is that…"
Gale howling.
Baili Pangpang gripped the sky with one hand as if grasping something, then forcefully yanked downward!
Between the rolling thunder, a thick black tail suddenly appeared, as if an invisible giant hand was grabbing its tail, trying to drag it out from between the thunderclouds. An angry beast's roar echoed among the clouds. Even though it had动用 (mobilized) all its strength to keep itself from falling from the thunderclouds, its body still couldn't resist sliding downward.
That invisible giant hand grabbing its tail was simply too powerful!
"Spirit Weapon Thunder Beast?!" When Disaster of War saw that familiar tail, his pupils constricted sharply!
The monster in the thunderclouds, he had seen it before—over a hundred years ago when the Human Enclosure had just been completed, the Takamagahara gods had released a wholly blue, cat-tiger-like Divine Beast into the Yata Mirror as a spirit weapon, named Thunder Beast.
After that incident, it had vanished as if gone, never appearing again.
But the Oracle Envoys knew very well that this Thunder Beast was still hidden somewhere in this world. Whenever invaders used Forbidden Ruins, it would be drawn by their aura, gradually lock onto their target, and then deliver divine punishment.
The Thunder Beast was the spirit weapon of the Yata Mirror, and also the mysterious gaze that locked onto Lin Qiye and the others' positions whenever they used Forbidden Ruins.
At the same time, the Thunder Beast was also the existence the Oracle Envoys feared most.
Although the Thunder Beast was merely a spirit weapon, it still originated from Takamagahara and belonged to the Japanese divine system. The secret dealings the Oracle Envoys had been conducting lately, once discovered by Takamagahara, would undoubtedly be a death sentence.
At this moment, this unremarkable little fatty had actually pulled out the Spirit Weapon Thunder Beast by hand?!
The Oracle Envoys were completely stunned.
"You destroyed young master's Forbidden Artifact, so you'll pay the price…" Baili Pangpang kept his hand extended, pulling the Thunder Beast's tail in mid-air, and looked up at it. "Come spit on young master for me!"
Roar—!!
The roaring howl resounded through the thunderclouds. Anyone could hear the fury蕴藏 (contained) in that cry!
In the clouds, the Thunder Beast twisted its body and poked its large, ferocious head out from the cloud layer. A pair of pitch-black pupils stared fixedly at Baili Pangpang below. Its massive mouth opened, and a Chaos of thunderlight surged before it.
After that thunderlight was compressed to its extreme, it actually revealed a crimson color, and a terrifying, unsettling fluctuation descended upon the mortal world.
Beside him, Demon Cao Yuan's expression suddenly turned ferocious.
That aura, he remembered it very clearly. Two years ago in Yawata City, it was that crimson thunder light pillar that shattered his body into pieces…
After the crimson thunderlight fully gathered, it fired toward Baili Pangpang standing on the ground.
The crimson light pillar, like a sword of judgment, crashed down from the thunderclouds!
Just then, Baili Pangpang's hand gripping the Thunder Beast's tail suddenly yanked!
The Thunder Beast's body immediately lost its balance. The direction its mouth faced shifted slightly, and the gushing crimson light pillar also turned its target, descending directly toward Disaster of War beside it!
Disaster of War's pupils constricted sharply!
Boom—!!!
The crimson thunder light pillar instantly engulfed Disaster of War's figure.
…
On another side.
The Disaster of Plague stared at the searing hot lines emanating around her, her expression gloomy.
Not far in front of her, the red-robed Oracle Envoy stood between flames and magma. Extreme high temperatures surrounded his body. He was like a scorching sun in the night, radiating endless light and heat.
The halo around his left eye had disappeared entirely, replaced by a cluster of drifting TV static.
Jiang Er controlled his body through the transformation system within Fire Disaster's body. Although his movements were somewhat stiff, and his combat power couldn't compare to when Fire Disaster was alive, it was enough to deal with the current situation.
Her mission itself wasn't to control Fire Disaster to fight the Disaster of Plague head-on.
In the blazing fire, Shen Qingzhu wore that flowing cloud feather garment, unhurriedly took out a cigarette from his怀 (bosom), and lit it with a nearby floating fire line.
He placed the cigarette between his lips, raised his right hand, and snapped his fingers.
Snap—!!
The air around Fire Disaster was rapidly compressed.
The fire lines and fireballs suspended in the air, along with the air controlled by Shen Qingzhu, quickly gathered toward his right palm. They compressed and gathered. A moment later, they condensed into a massive blazing fireball with a radius of a hundred meters!
The flames released by Fire Disaster absolutely contained astronomical energy. And such an astronomical amount of fiery heat was repeatedly compressed by Shen Qingzhu through 【气闽】, gathering in his palm.
Once that hundred-meter-radius fireball exploded, its power would rival a nuclear blast, enough to destroy all of Tokyo!
