Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 25 Lightning Punishment

"Die! Crimson Flame Triple Strike, first strike: Crimson Flame Finger!"

He Qian shouted out the names of his moves, as if he could enhance the power of his low-level Xuan-rank combat skill.

Zhong Li didn't pay much attention, but slowly turned around, smiled at Little Fairy Doctor, and said, "My disciple, you may one day become someone who controls extraordinary lightning. Today, I will demonstrate to you the correct way to use lightning to deal with insects. You must watch carefully and learn diligently."

Zhongli's gaze never fell on Heqian again, and he exposed his back to Heqian without reservation.

"Hmph, arrogant fool!" He Qian roared in fury. "A second strike, Crimson Flame Fist!"

He Qian deduced from Mr. Yao and the others' words that Zhong Li's highest level was only a high-level Dou Ling. He secretly wondered, if Zhong Li were stronger, why wouldn't he have Dou Qi wings? It was because of this that He Qian was completely certain of his guess.

He Qian swiftly struck Zhong Li's cervical spine, the weakest point on his back, with a finger and a punch.

Zhongli remained as steady as Mount Tai, like an indestructible god. Even when faced with this fierce attack, he maintained a calm demeanor, as if Mount Tai had collapsed before him.

The once azure, jewel-like sky was suddenly shrouded in eerie dark clouds. These clouds, like giant black waves, surged and churned violently, driven by the gale, as if to devour the entire world.

Zhong Li's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible arc, and he said softly, "As everyone knows, under normal circumstances, thunder comes from the sky."

Zhongli slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. In that instant, time seemed to freeze, and everything in the world became extremely slow.

Zhongli spoke leisurely:

"Lightning Punishment!"

Suddenly, a streak of purple lightning flashed down from the endless darkness. This lightning bolt, like an enraged dragon, radiated a chilling light, tearing through the dark sky. With unstoppable momentum, it swiftly swooped down towards its target in mid-air. And that target was none other than He Qian.

Just as the purple lightning was about to strike He Qian, time seemed to freeze once more. The surrounding air seemed to be compressed by this powerful energy, emitting a buzzing sound.

Immediately afterward, with pinpoint accuracy, the purple lightning struck He Qian squarely. In an instant, a dazzling light illuminated the entire sky, and a powerful shockwave spread outwards, seemingly shattering the heavens and earth...

Fighting King?

Crimson Flame Triple Strike?

Arrogant?

"Heh." Zhong Li parted his thin lips slightly, letting out a faint smile. His slender fingers gently rested on the slightly dazed Little Fairy Doctor's shoulder, and then he took her hand and walked calmly toward the Xiao family.

After all, Zhongli simply enjoyed leisurely travels; it didn't mean he had lost interest in killing. Moreover, with the complete Six Gods' Hearts in his possession, his war talent was amplified even further.

On the contrary, it was only after witnessing the prosperity and stability of Liyue that he gradually abandoned his murderous intent and began to enjoy a leisurely retirement. But this does not mean that he was a rigid old man who would be at the mercy of others.

Zhong Li also came from the era of the Demon God War, a time of survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest. The fierce and powerful battles only made Zhong Li more courageous. The biggest negative impact of the Demon God War, which annihilated countless lives, on Zhong Li was probably that he felt a little nauseous for seafood.

"If I continue to wander aimlessly on this continent of martial arts, which is full of animalistic instincts, I'm not sure if I'll ever turn back into Morax again."

As for He Qian behind him...

Burnt?

Cooked?

Charcoal?

No, no, no, it has already turned to ashes...

Little Fairy Doctor witnessed Zhong Li unleashing his killing techniques, a scene that filled her with genuine awe for Zhong Li's strength.

However, when Zhongli unleashed the terrifying Thunder Punishment technique, no matter how hard Little Fairy Doctor tried, she could not conjure up Zhongli's usual kind and gentle appearance in her mind.

The contrast was so stark that it was as if Zhongli had instantly transformed into a smiling devil, or as if, at that crucial moment, he hadn't considered human life as something worthy of pity at all.

"(⊙o⊙)……Master, your disciple will definitely be obedient from now on," Little Fairy Doctor said inexplicably.

"Yes, that's good." Zhongli didn't turn around, but gently patted Little Fairy Doctor's shoulder again.

……

Yunlan Sect, Sect Master's Residence.

dong... dong... dong...

"Come in." Yun Yun calmly processed the official documents without looking up. After all, the dense aura of flames gradually approaching the sect leader's mansion had already made her know that the person who came must be the Pill King Gu He.

However, there were three auras outside the door that she had never sensed before. Although their strength was decent, they seemed somewhat insignificant in front of Yun Yun.

The latest novel is first published here!

Gu He gently pushed the door open, but a moment later it was kicked open by a burly man.

Yun Yun frowned slightly, and a ripple of azure battle qi instantly spread to the front of the sect leader's mansion, colliding head-on with the burly man's foot.

With a loud "bang," the door that should have been kicked open bounced back in an instant, slamming solidly into the burly man's face.

"Knock again." Yun Yun's voice drifted out slowly and gently through the closed mansion door, without the slightest hint of annoyance or displeasure.

Gu He sighed softly, his eyes filled with helplessness as he quietly watched the Snake King Kui Snake, who was lying on the ground, clutching his face and howling in pain. He shook his head slightly, thinking to himself, if it weren't for the fact that Kui Snake, like himself, possessed the strength of a nine-star Dou Wang, how could he have tolerated his reckless behavior?

Behind Kui She, the six-star Dou Wang Lion King Yan Shi and the eight-star Dou Wang Feng Li dared not utter another sound.

dong... dong... dong...

"Go in." It was still Yun Yun's cool voice, but this time, she only uttered one word.

As Gu He moved with practiced ease, the door slowly opened, and the four figures finally stepped into the sect leader's mansion, which was filled with a cool and aloof atmosphere.

In the quiet room, Yunyun was focused on writing, the brush moving slowly across the official document, leaving behind lines of elegant handwriting.

At this moment, she slightly raised her head, a hint of doubt in her eyes, and asked softly, "Elder Guhe, is your visit related to the Wind-Swept Purple Spirit Pill that Yanran needs?"

Elder Guhe bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Sect Master Yun, it is not so. I have come here for the Nine Dragons Thunderfire."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun gently rested her chin on her hand, a languid glint in her eyes, and a slight, enigmatic smile played on her lips as she said, "Oh? So Elder Guhe must have already made thorough preparations?"
