Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The walls of Ding of Barbarian God was glistening. A bunch of people were attacking but the runes of the wall still kept glowing. Nobody could leave a mark on the iron wall.
“Boom~”
The lid lit up again as more thunderbolts continued to converge. Every 20 breaths or so, a thunderbolt would run down. They could track people automatically so there was a person dying every time.
Lu Suan, Ji Mengtian, Yang Xuan and Die Feiyu only brought 14 warriors with them. Those were their most trusted warriors. A moment ago, they were well and alive and now nine of them had been turned into charcoal. Some dead bodies were still giving out smoke and pungent disgusting burnt smells.
As more people were dying, the rest were getting more fearful. They were the best young masters and young ladies of the Central Plains with a promising future ahead. They would grow to be famous big shots. Of course they would not accept dying here.
“Don’t waste your time. We don’t have the ability to crack a Quasi Relic!”
Seeing that Yang Xuan was still attacking at the wall, Lu Suan sighed and said. He stared at the lid which was accumulating more thunderbolts and thought quickly to try to find a way out.
Ji Mengtian and Yang Xuan had spoken to Lu Li and so did Die Feiyu and Lu Ni. But Lu Li gave no response. Thunderbolts were still being generated.
It implied that Lu Li’s heart was as hard as a rock and he would not stop until he killed them all.
Lu Suan was not surprised given how Lu Li acted at the Mystic Armor City. Lu Li even had the courage to kill patriarchs of the Lu Family. What else would he not have the courage to do in the world?
Therefore, negotiations wouldn’t work. The gang had to rely on themselves!
“Swish~”
Another streak of divine thunderbolt which scared Lu Ni. He dodged aside and grabbed another warrior and threw him up. That warrior didn’t resist. He was determined. He was from the Palace of Blue Lions and he was sent here to protect Lu Suan and Lu Ni and to die for them.
“Boom!”
Yet again, another warrior was burnt. Yang Xuan and others stopped their attacks. They huddled up together. Yang Xuan turned to Lu Suan and yelled unpleasantly, “Lu Suan, I thought you have a lot of ideas. Think of something. We are all going to die here if you don’t.”
“What are you panicking about?”
Lu Suan yelled unhappily. He thought for a while and said, “When another thunderbolt comes down, let’s work together and attack it to see if we can diminish the power.”
“Okay!”
The others nodded. If they could find a way to lessen the power, they could survive and Die Feiyu could heal them.
Under the instruction of Lu Suan, everyone picked a spot by the edge and stood there. They focused on the lid with weapons ready in their hands. Lu Suan decided to go first. He told them to release Xuan Energy which was inexhaustible for them.
“Swish, swish~”
After a moment, a thunderbolt came down. Lu Suan yelled, “Now!”
“Hoy!”
The rest nine people all released their Xuan Energy. Streaks of sword lights and fist shadows whooshed on toward the thunderbolt.
“Boom!”
The Xuan Energy and different attacks bumped into each other and caused a huge blast. Wind sprang up and the black thunderbolt pierced through the center of explosion and landed on Lu Ni.
“Ah!”
Lu Ni was wearing a cyan armor but he was still smashed onto the ground. His cyan armor gave out smoke and he rolled over and over, kept yelling while shaking violently. His appearance was horrible to look at.
“Good!”
Lu Suan and Ji Mengtian’s eyes glowed. Lu Ni did not die. They could tell clearly that the power in that thunderbolt was reduced. Lu Ni also survived because he had the Mystic Armor.
“Buzzing!”
Die Feiyu released her Source of Life Bloodline. Lu Ni only felt better until a moment later. But he still kept on grimacing in pain and trembling.
“Yang Xuan, use your Bloodline Skill. Ji Mengtian, you too. The rest, go on with your Xuan Energy!”
Lu Suan shouted. Ji Mengtian had to use her full strength now. A black phoenix mark appeared on her neck.
“Attack!”
Thunderbolt came down soon. Yang Xuan released ghost shadows as a huge black phoenix shadow flew out from Ji Mengtian’s neck toward the thunderbolt.
At the same time, Lu Suan built a round shield with Xuan Energy and threw it midair while others went on with their Xuan Energy attacks.
“Boom~”
All sorts of attacks collided together, which caused another explosion. A heavy gale came on to blow. If it were not for the fact that they were leaning against the wall, they would have been blown away.
This time, the power contained in the thunderbolt was diminished greatly. It went toward Ji Mengtian who was in fear as she tried to dodge quickly.
But thunderbolts travelled fast and the room inside was limited. Ji Mengtian was hit after all and she was smashed away.
“Woo~”
She groaned in pain. Her black hair was giving out smoke and her pretty eyebrows were burnt as well. Her blossoming face was darkened. She rolled on the ground, trembling. Everyone felt sorry for her.
“Sister Mengtian!”
Die Feiyu used her Source of Life Bloodline to help Ji Mengtian who stood up with great effort. In her clear eyes, there written hatred that she would never forget. She raised her head and yelled, “Lu Li, you have got the balls to hurt me. If you ever let me out, I will make you wish for death.”
Compared to the physical pain, Ji Mengtian was more worried about her appearance.
Girls were constantly searching for beauty. Ji Mengtian would be concerned about her looks and appearances at all times. The most beautiful young lady of the Central Plains was humiliated now. Her hair all over her body was burnt, including her pubic hair. Her robes were ruined in many places…
Her hair was messy as if she was a homeless person. Her skin was burnt and black. Accompanying all that, there was a strange smell of burnt flesh. She was like a monster. Where was that most beautiful young lady of the Central Plains?
Ji Mengtian, who had been tending to her appearances since young and never suffered from any injustice, could hardly bear this. She almost lost her mind looking at the strange glares from others.
Lucky for her, a Heaven Grade armor appeared over her body. If she was only wearing that pink dress, many spots would be exposed. She would commit suicide for that kind of humiliation…
Lu Suan and others were relieved. They could tell from Ji Mengtian’s situation that the thunderbolt was weakened and she was not badly hurt. Finally, there was hope of survival.
Ye Luo had been observing. He breathed in relief to find that the thunderbolts in the Quasi Relic could not kill the gang yet. As long as Ji Mengtian and the rest could live, there was still room to redeem the situation that was not at its worst.
“Little White!”
However, Lu Li was upset. He said coldly, “I thought the Barbarian Race had poured in a large quantity of thunderbolts. Increase the power or discharge more thunderbolts. Kill them all.”
“Eh…”
Ye Luo rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Lu Li really was a man with a thirst for blood, fearing nothing and no one. Staring at Lu Li’s cruel eyes, Ye Luo exclaimed to himself that he was lucky for not being Lu Li’s enemy or else Ye Luo would have been sucked into the Ding of Barbarian God, waiting to be killed by the thunderbolts…
