Chapter 2018: Trying a Different Approach (1/2)
Edited by: Michyrr
”Damn it!”
After instantly losing his right and left arms, An Yaluoshan was nervous, angry, and afraid.
All of his muscles were tensed to the maximum, prepared to react to Wang Chong's unpredictable attacks.
”Just let me see how the world is going to help you!”
Wang Chong's bone-chilling voice came out of the void, its position constantly shifting. A moment later, a faint streak of light moved through the air. With his movement technique, Wang Chong instantly appeared behind An Yaluoshan and thrust the Origin Immortal Sword at An Yaluoshan's back.
Kacrack!
Above them, a shining silver snake cleaved apart the heavens, fusing with countless other lightning bolts into a giant snake of lightning that descended from the sky with astonishing speed.
Wang Chong had struck quickly, but that mysterious lightning bolt imbued with the will of the world was even faster. Before his Sword Qi could even touch An Yaluoshan, the destructive power of the lightning bolt struck several feet in front of Wang Chong.
An Yaluoshan's face shifted several times upon seeing this. The first reaction was panic and shock over how swiftly Wang Chong had struck, but the second reaction was one of ecstasy, for he had sensed a rare moment to counter Wang Chong. Without a second thought, he gathered all his Stellar Energy into his fist and punched.
”Divine Land Sundering!”
A roar resounded through the air as An Yaluoshan's Stellar Energy took the form of a savage black dragon that charged at Wang Chong.
Space shifted under the black dragon's claws, morphing into an image of the Central Plains being destroyed.
The black dragon was the symbol of An Yaluoshan's destiny, and the Divine Land Sundering was the move that he had prepared to conquer the Central Plains.
An Yaluoshan had calculated that the moment after the lightning shattered Wang Chong's attack was the perfect chance to heavily injure Wang Chong.
A tiger with no claw was at best a somewhat large pig.
But a moment later, An Yaluoshan was left stupefied.
Clang!
The moment the lightning descended, Wang Chong's expression turned extremely cold and collected. He immediately raised his sword to draw the lightning toward it, and then he took control of the Origin Immortal Sword using his Stellar Energy and threw it toward the ground nearby.
A moment later, the lightning that had been aimed at Wang Chong was drawn over to the sword and sent into the ground.
The might of the world, far above the Subtle realm, had been conducted into the earth.
”H-how could this be!?”
An Yaluoshan paled at this sight.
He had never imagined that Wang Chong would be able to use such a bizarre method to so easily resolve the destructive lightning unleashed by the Power of the World.
”Hmph!”
A cold snort came from next to An Yaluoshan's ears, and An Yaluoshan immediately felt like he had been plunged into an ice house, his body shivering all over.
Within the void, Wang Chong stared at An Yaluoshan's back with eyes of extreme cold and disdain.
Lightning rods!
In another world, this was a very basic concept. Electricity, no matter how violent or powerful, was easily drawn by protrusions of sharp metal. As long as it was appropriately conducted, destructive lightning energy could be neutralized by guiding it into the ground.
No matter how powerful the World Consciousness around An Yaluoshan was, as long as its method of disruption was lightning, Wang Chong could send this lightning into the earth.
”It's your turn!”
As Wang Chong successfully drew away the lightning, the earth seemed to tremble in fury at Wang Chong's actions.
But from start to finish, Wang Chong's eyes were resolved and devoid of hesitation.
Swoosh!
Wang Chong blinked away, avoiding An Yaluoshan's Divine Land Sundering and appearing like a ghost behind him. He seized An Yaluoshan's arm and immediately began to use the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.
An Yaluoshan didn't even have time to turn around before he was rendered motionless.
”Not good!”
At this moment, An Yaluoshan felt like his soul had left his body. He was far too familiar with Wang Chong's method of fighting. It wasn't too long ago, in the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal, that Wang Chong had used this method to destroy two of his powerful rings.
”An Yaluoshan, now that we're connected, let's see how the Power of the World helps you!” Wang Chong coldly said.
