To summon lightning bolts, one had to first possess a body strong enough to withstand the power of lightning. Generally, a lightning cultivator had to first go through the tempering of natural lightning bolts and obtain the ability to connect one's stars to the natural world before one could start summoning them.
Thus, reaching the King Realm and forming a certain degree of resonance with lightning were the minimum requirements. More often than not, many lightning cultivators would only be capable of this feat upon reaching late-stage King Realm.
Just summoning and borrowing the power of one or two lightning bolts would be enough to greatly increase one's combat prowess. As for Xiang Shaoyun's feat of easily summoning 12 mutated lightning bolts at once, this was something even those with the Innate Lightning Celestial Physique might not be able to do.
The sight of the 12 silver lightning bolts shocked Bai Yuji. But with his outstanding combat prowess, he swung his sword 12 times and destroyed all 12 of the lighting bolts before they could arrive. However, the only thing he accomplished was stopping the lightning bolts. Xiang Shaoyun's fist still arrived, striking him.
Bang!
Bai Yuji's defensive s.h.i.+eld instantly collapsed, and the punch landed a clean hit on his nose. Blood sprayed out. Bai Yuji felt terrible. The punch had caused him to feel lightheaded and his vision to blur. Furthermore, the punch was powered by innate purple lightning, which also burned and numbed Bai Yuji. It was an extremely rough attack.
Xiang Shaoyun pressed on without pause as he continued attacking with the Lightning Bolt Fist, sending a torrential rain of fists toward his opponent. Every single punch was aimed at Bai Yuji's face. Thus, no matter how high Bai Yuji's cultivation level was, he still failed to escape the fate of having his whole face bruised. Even his long silky hair had been set on fire after the lightning burned it.
Furious, he created layers of blue energy s.h.i.+elds around him before Xiang Shaoyun's final punch could hit, bouncing the punch off. A radiant blue light then erupted from his entire body. His aura surged to his limit as he roared, ”Xiang Shaoyun, take my ultimate trump card, Torrential Tsunami!”
This was Bai Yuji's strongest attack, one with a might comparable to an Emperor's attack. However, the attack had barely been launched and hadn't even fully displayed its power by the time Xiang Shaoyun broke through it.
Havoc Dance—Havoc Fingers!
The moment Xiang Shaoyun noticed Bai Yuji's energy flow, he was able to determine the trajectory of the attack and react with a jab of his finger. Havoc Dance was his self-created technique capable of move prediction.
The reason ”Havoc” was part of its name was because there were no set moves. He could use it with fingers, punches, palms, and even weapons. He only needed to adapt and chose the most suitable method to deal with his opponent.
Thus, he separated his Havoc Dance into several styles, naming them respectively Finger, Fist, Palm, Foot, and Weapon. And since he was using his finger this time, it was named Havoc Finger.
This so-called Havoc Finger was in fact an ordinary finger attack, yet he mixed the power of the incomparable sharp vicious gold energy within it, allowing his finger to penetrate all defenses.
Bang!
And since the essence of Havoc Dance was move prediction, before Bai Yuji fully unleashed the attack, Xiang Shaoyun's finger arrived at an opening and instantly caused the attack to fall apart.
Sphhlt!
Failing to fully release his attack caused Bai Yuji to suffer a backlash. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura started plummeting.
