People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

He made a hand seal, forming the Five Thunder Hand Seal unique to the Five Thunder Orthodox Dharma.

Why is the Five Thunder Orthodox Method of Longhu Mountain so famous throughout the world? Why has the Five Thunder Orthodox Method of Longhu Mountain been passed down to this day, instead of disappearing from people's sight like the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique?

There's no other reason than that the Five Thunder Orthodox Method becomes stronger the further you go!

Before reaching the Grandmaster realm, it is impossible to unleash the true thunder magic of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method!

Amid Cao Ze's furious shout, lightning flashed again in the dark clouds hundreds of meters above the ground.

Five-colored lightning bolts shifted and changed within the thunderclouds, intertwined, and in an instant merged into chaotic lightning, indistinguishable in color and direction, hazy yet giving people an extremely dangerous warning.

"Minor Five Elements Divine Thunder!"

As the simplest, easiest to learn, and most difficult to master among the Five Thunder Orthodox Methods, the Divine Thunder Method, Cao Ze began to study it carefully as soon as he entered the half-step Grandmaster realm.

However, even though the Five Elements Divine Thunder is easy to master, it still requires a Grandmaster or even a Celestial to unleash its full power.

Therefore, Cao Ze could only settle for second best and cultivate the simplified Lesser Five Elements Divine Thunder of his predecessors.

Even the simplified Lesser Five Elements Divine Thunder is still terrifyingly powerful.

If unleashed, it would be no weaker than the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique!

The true Five Elements Divine Thunder, the Great Five Elements Divine Thunder, can sink a small island with a single strike, making it worthy of being called a Golden Immortal on Earth.

Cao Ze didn't know if he had ever reached such a level, but ever since he came out of Feng Hou's Tomb, he believed that it did.

Feng Hou, who can manipulate space and create secret realms, is no weaker than a terrestrial Golden Immortal!

The Marquis felt a strong sense of threat, even a sense that her life was in danger.

Her beautiful eyes darkened, turning as cold as ice.

"Showy but impractical!"

The Marquis snorted coldly, "Don't think that just because you have unparalleled lightning magic, I don't have unparalleled ice magic!"

She uttered softly, "Ice Cry!"

"Woooo..."

High in the sky, next to the thundercloud, an ice cloud that was no less impressive than the thundercloud suddenly appeared.

The wind howled mournfully, as if a sorrowful ice goddess existed within the icy clouds.

"Drip, drip, drip..."

The icy rain fell from the sky, landing on Cao Ze and the others, instantly turning into a layer of crystal-clear ice crystals, each about the size of a palm.

Even more terrifying is that this icy rain seems to have the effect of freezing the soul.

Cao Ze was covered in ice crystals, but his expression remained unchanged. He said calmly, "That's it?"

He admitted that the Marquis's Ice Cry was powerful, but it was clear that it would take time to unleash its full potential, and he was not going to give the Marquis that time.

"Crack!"

A five-colored beam of light suddenly shot out from the thunderclouds.

"Humph!"

The Marquis spread her hands, and the endless icy rain instantly condensed into an ice mirror above her head, as transparent and bright as glass.

"Rumble..."

A violent impact and explosion rang out, like the roar of a thunder dragon and the wailing of a snow demon.

The ice mirror above the Marquis's head shattered, and the lightning disappeared at the same time.

"Cao Ze, if this is all you've got, then today you'd better become my slave and kneel on the ground licking my toes in repentance!"

The Marquis was slightly out of breath. It wasn't easy for her to withstand the lightning, but she couldn't let her aura weaken. Her pride would not allow her to show weakness!

Cao Ze's eyes showed neither sorrow nor joy. He stood with one hand behind his back, calmly watching the marquis spouting nonsense.

"Watch how I shatter your confidence."

The thunderclouds high in the sky fluctuated violently.

That was just a probing attack; he didn't unleash its full power at all.

"boom!"

Another divine thunderbolt descends upon the world.

The Marquis wanted to dodge, but the speed of the heavenly lightning was extremely fast. Once her aura was locked, the Marquis had no choice but to either withstand it head-on or abandon the snowy ice array and flee far away.

However, the Marquis chose a third option: she suddenly thrust an ice spear into the air, colliding with the divine thunder.

At the same time, the icy rain surrounding Cao Ze transformed into arrows, whistling as they shot towards him.

Cao Ze made a hand seal, and five-colored lightning flashed, enduring the attack of the icy rain.

He sensed his internal energy rapidly decreasing, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He had only just broken through to the Grandmaster level, and his internal strength was nowhere near that of an old woman like the Marquis who had cultivated for decades and broken through to the Grandmaster level.

We can't afford to waste any more time!

With this thought in mind, Cao Ze decided to take a gamble.

He made hand seals, channeled his inner strength, and chanted incantations at an extremely fast pace.

"Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, issue my command, Five Elements Divine Thunder..."

Rumble...

The world is undergoing tremendous changes.

Thunderclouds filled the sky with five-colored lightning.

Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Wu Earth Divine Thunder, Li Fire Divine Thunder, Geng Metal Divine Thunder, Gui Water Divine Thunder.

Taoist Five Elements Divine Thunder!

"Lower! Lower! Lower! Lower! Lower!"

Cao Ze shouted.

Five bolts of lightning, each as thick as a thigh, streaked across the sky and landed on the ground, forming a small Five Elements formation that tightly surrounded the Marquis.

These are some array formation experiences he gained from experiencing the Five Elements Array in Feng Hou Tomb, which perfectly complement his Five Elements Divine Thunder.

The Marquis was trapped in the Minor Five Elements Formation. The original ice formation was broken, the wind and snow dissipated, and in its place came thunder and lightning, which was a pseudo-thunder domain created by Cao Ze by trickery.

It is called the pseudo-thunder domain because it was not created by Cao Ze through his control of the power of heaven and earth, but rather by using the Lesser Five Elements Formation.

The area was only a dozen meters wide, enough to only encircle the Marquis.

The Marquis's expression changed completely.

He could no longer care about his composure; his inner strength surged throughout his body.

The icy clouds in the sky instantly dispersed, turning into a torrential downpour of glacial rain.

"Ice coffin!"

The Marquis sealed herself in an ice coffin, using absolute ice to withstand Cao Zelei's magic!

Cao Ze sneered and activated the Lesser Five Elements Divine Thunder Formation.

"burst!"

Unable to control the Lesser Five Elements Formation for long, he simply self-destructed.

The five-colored divine lightning pillar suddenly shone brightly.

Heaven and earth fell silent and lost their color.

Cao Ze barely managed to stand on the ground, having exhausted almost all his strength, but on the surface he appeared calm and composed.

Of all those present, the most composed were undoubtedly Tianze and his two companions. They lay on the ground, breathing evenly, peacefully unconscious.

As for the others—

The hidden bat stared in disbelief at all of this.

Lady Mingzhu was no better off; gazing at the mighty and invincible Cao Ze, she looked at him with seductive eyes and a dazed expression.

For some unknown reason, saliva quietly dripped from the corner of his lips.

Unlike Madam Mingzhu, Jingni was not obsessed with Cao Ze's body. She knew that Cao Ze had reached his limit and stared nervously at the place where the ice mist was spreading.

Without a doubt, the ice coffin that the Marquis had sealed herself in was shattered.

But whether he is dead or alive, no one knows.

Cao Ze gave Jing Ni a wink.

Only Jing Ni still has the strength to fight.

Jing Ni stepped forward without hesitation.

Before they even got close, an ice spear shot out.

Cao Ze's expression changed slightly. Such a powerful attack, yet it didn't kill the Marquis?

The next moment, a figure flew out from the icy mist.

Before Cao Ze and Jing Ni could react, the dark-faced Marquis, spitting blood, came to Lady Mingzhu.

She smiled miserably at Madam Mingzhu.

"My dear niece, come with your aunt..."

Without asking Madam Mingzhu whether she was willing or not, the Marquis grabbed Madam Mingzhu's shoulder.

Madam Mingzhu's expression changed drastically.

"Cao Ze, save me!"

Cao Ze gave a bitter smile. He could barely walk, so how could he possibly save Madam Mingzhu?

As for Jingni...

She would only feel sorry for and protect Cao Ze.

As for which roadside woman Mingzhu was, whether she would die, or whether her aunt would use her as a breeding tool, those were not her concerns.
