Chapter 16.4
At this moment, there was the crackling of electricity from the flag protecting him as streams of electricity streaked past repeatedly . In the formation these electrical runes made up, a violent current visible to the eyes could be seen . This Thirteen Bloodfiends Formation was completely different from the one Yinglong knew of . Pure Refined Qi had been converted to electricity . Instead of summoning thirteen bloodfiends with different appearances to attack as it should do, electricity appeared instead… However, how strong it was exactly wasn't known .
The man on a sword ignored Yinglong’s flag . His feet moved in the Eight Trigrams Steps style as his hands executed some hand seals continuously . A faint azure light shone around his body as the thirteen bloodfiends suddenly took shape . One that looked like a giant bat flapped its wings, giving a giant screech as it pounced on Yinglong . Electricity arced on the body of the bloodfiend that had become matter, the colours of blood red and shining white continuously intersecting, adding on to its imposing manner .
Yinglong had a giant flag protecting him outside . He didn't dodge it as he had the intention of testing out this true Cultivation technique that had been perfected through rune technology . He took the bloodfiend’s pounce head-on . A bloody light and electrical light exploded upon collision . In the end, it was the bat that shattered into electrical runes, while the flag wasn't even scorched . It seemed this Thirteen Bloodfiends Formation hadn't become matchless after the inclusion of rune technology .
Some confidence immediately brewed in Yinglong’s heart . As he was about to mock the man on a sword, the twelve bloodfiends that hadn't dissipated yet pounced all at once . He didn't have the leisure to talk too much . At the same time, the man on a sword left the heart of the formation . He directed his attention elsewhere as he took out over a dozen dark-hold metal pieces and flung them up into the sky .
Yinglong was currently butchering those bloodfiends, sword in hand . Although the flag prevented any injuries, he still had to consume quite some Refined Qi to kill them . He couldn't possibly just slam into them every time, right? So, he was tied up by the bloodfiends for a while . He couldn't tell what the man on a sword was doing although he could see it .
“Borrowing the force of heaven and earth, Heaven-Dao Becomes Lightning…” The man urgently chanted . The azure light on him had already dimmed much, and his Refined Qi was obviously running on fumes . His other killer move other than the Thirteen Bloodfiends Formation should be the metal pieces he threw out before .
In that moment, Yinglong had already slaughtered the thirteen bloodfiends . He didn't hold back, destroying the formation with a wave of the flag . When he was about to whirl the flag towards the man on a sword, the man spat out blood again . The already dim azure light brightened again, while an incomparably acute golden radiance shone in the sky . It was as if a dozen suns had been added in an instant .
“Luo Yinglong . I ask you, do you dare receive my eighteen Purple-gold Celestial Lightning?” The man asked with some slight feebleness .
“Screw you . Do you think I’m some kinda moron? I’m just going to let you hit me like some main character from a novel?” Yinglong gave the man a sidelong glance, raising his hand as he flung the azure sword out . It slashed towards the man’s head like an azure lightning bolt . However, it was still a sword in the end and not an actual lightning bolt . A purple-gold lightning bolt descended from the sky before the sword could cut the man . It turned the sword formed from Refined Qi into nothingness as it slammed into the sword with a boom .
Eighteen sparkling golden machines appeared in the sky at this moment . They were satellite shaped, and were positioned in a strange formation . They constantly shifted their positions . There were even traces of electrical runes on their bodies . They were obviously built from those electrical runes made from Refined Qi .
“What the… that’s not rune technology! That’s mechanical technology! You…” Yinglong stared dumbly at the sky, taking a long time before he shouted .
However, without waiting for him, the man abruptly swung his hand down . The eighteen satellites began to draw in the lightning within the cloud layer, converting it into the purple-gold lightning as it sent the lightning crashing down . Eighteen thick bolts merged together in mid-air, and an enormous pillar of lightning crashed into Yinglong’s protective flag, knocking him deep underground in the blink of an eye .
This process is what is known as karmic retribution . He knocked Gando down first, and someone knocked him down this time . . .
The man began to pant as he recalled what clone Xuan had said to him once before . “You don’t have complete Cultivation techniques, nor do you even have a teacher . Your Cultivation is more like a skill than an actual set of techniques . In other words, you will never surpass Luo Yinglong in Cultivation . There’s only one way left . You have to take those pure Cultivation techniques, and view it purely as a tool . For example, you could just look at Refined Qi as an energy source, and it’ll be a incredibly powerful source of energy . If you use your mind or consciousness as the controlling equipment, it’ll be like an artificial intelligence countless times more advanced than any computer . I’ll create some Cultivation battle gear for you . It’ll be similar to those magic treasures, but it’ll be using scientific methods to work . Refined Qi will be the energy source while your mind and consciousness will be directing it . Draw in a large amount of natural power to attack the enemy, then… using yourself as a conductor, give the enemy a fatal blow!”
The man raised his head towards the sky . There was an imperceptible sigh as he said, “Lil sis, you should get the medicine I left for you soon . If Chu Xuan does it, your illness can… Live . Live! Live blissfully in the real world, my lil sis…”
“LUO! YING! LOOOOOOONG! I may not have your orthodox Cultivation techniques, but I won't ever lose to you! A life for a life!” The man pointed at the sky again . The eighteen satellites began to draw in electricity once again . However, the direction of the lightning was instead the man . It all occurred in a moment . Endless azure light poured out from the underground hole Yinglong had been smashed into as the lightning struck the man . He didn't dodge it as he used his body to endure the strikes . The incomparably mighty lightning was absorbed into the man’s body like flowing water . At the same time, the man was using his sword to rush into that underground hole . . .
“My mission has been accomplished, Chu Xuan! Fulfil your promise!”
There was a loud rumble as if a nuclear missile had gone off in the hold as the area for kilometers around was swallowed up . . .
