Chapter 654 - She Finally Makes Her Appearance (1/2)

”Take this—!” The old man was going to throw a fist toward Alex, but there was another interruption.

”Too late!” Leoz finally finished charging the technique with all of his strength. He stretched his hand wide and roared. Leoz, who had been silent until now, finally released his might.

”Lightning God Possession, Heaven's Wrath!”

*Rumble!*

A bolt of lightning flew down with its mighty power before it suddenly split into thousands of smaller lightning strikes, coloring the sky with a flash of golden color. Although it didn't make a huge impact like Alex's golden tribulation, it was still enough to brighten the sky nearby.

This small lightning might not do anything to the old man or Arman, yet both of them looked upward, noticing something big was coming.

If these were the disciples from Joyful Union Sect, they might only see a golden flash before a huge explosion shook the world. However, they were still bona fide Martial Saints. The small lightning from earlier was just making a path for the last lighting. The golden flash locked onto the two Martial Saints and made its appearance.

”I'm stopping it!” The old man's pride obviously wouldn't let this matter go. No matter how abnormal this lightning was, he was also a Lightning User, a 5-Star Martial Saint on top of that. He didn't have much preparation for this, but he suddenly raised both hands and flew upward.

A translucent image of a bird flashed on their eyes as it turned into an armor that enveloped him. The old man simply put his hand on this lightning and stopped it. Of course, his condition wasn't that much better. His right hand was numb while he felt the crack on his left-hand bone.

Although Leoz was only a 7-Star Martial Monarch with a boost to 1-Star Martial Saint, this attack power was still ridiculous, equaling a 3-Star if not 4-Star Martial Saint. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he grew to his level.

Still, the old man preserved, knowing it was his fault to let this happen.

Arman thought for a moment. Though the old man was spiteful, he was still a Martial Saint. He channeled his energy to his sword and sent it flying in two directions. One flew toward the Lightning while the other one made its way toward Alex.

Alex formed the shield for the third time, blocking this attack. He didn't stop only at this as he took a token out of his Inventory. He channeled his Spiritual Energy inside the token to activate it.

He remembered that a technique called Fire Devil String was sealed inside this token. Although the technique might not be strong enough to kill Manness, it was powerful enough to kill both of these Martial Saints.

The token shone brightly as it flew out of his hand as if it had consciousness. Alex realized that it truly had one when he checked the token with his Spirit Eyes. The consciousness was none other than his Master's consciousness. Unfortunately, he couldn't appear in this world anymore, so only a little of his consciousness was here.

A few hard to see strings suddenly flew out of the token, flying toward the old man who was trying to stop the lightning strike and Arman, who just sent a sword wave.

Alex observed the strings and found out they had this powerful Fire Energy deep within them. Yet it couldn't be seen due to the size of the string.

The first one that noticed this was Arman since he had a more relaxed situation.

”Whirlwind Strike!” Arman released another wind pressure to blow these strings. Unfortunately, Maxwell was controlling these strings. When they were blown away by the wind pressure, they simply came back with a higher speed and struck him. Arman tried to launch another attack, but his sword was stopped by a few strings while a few others enveloped his body and…

*Bloop!*

He was shredded into pieces by the strings without any kind of resistance as if the Spiritual Energy that reinforced his body or his clothes that looked like it was made of powerful material didn't exist. His fleshes were scattered around, and his blood formed a small pool.

The goriness didn't stop here as a chunk of fleshes rained down from above. Alex looked up and found that the strings also neutralized the Lightning Strike.

Just like this, two 5-Star Martial Saints died.

Alex muttered to himself, ”Under normal circ.u.mstances, the strings won't be able to catch them up since they can simply avoid them. I have prepared to use my Spatial Gate to bring them back here the moment they escape, but it seems I have chosen a perfect timing to release this attack.”

”Yes,” Leoz replied to him before falling to the ground. ”To think this long planning will only result in such an anticlimactic battle… Not that I complained about it.”

”If you didn't stop them with your Lightning, it would be very hard to have locked their movement and have them in the same place.” Alex smiled while helping Leoz to get up and carrying him on his shoulder. ”Thank you, Leoz.”

”Haha, the plan didn't turn out to be what we expected, especially Sherry's part, and their expression told me they were on edge this whole time, resulting in them reacting slightly later than they usually did. This was the reason why I could stop that old man with this Lightning Strike.” Leoz continued panting with a pale face. Knowing he couldn't last longer than this, he said, ”Young Master, I need to go back to the card before my instinct takes over.”

”Yeah. Thank you for your hard work.” Alex nodded, watching Leoz disappear. The token flew toward him and shone as if his master was in front of him, telling him how proud he was. Alex smiled, clasped his hands respectfully, and bowed his head. After that, the token emptied its energy and fell on his hands. No matter how hard he tried, the token wouldn't lit up again.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group was stunned by the death of two 5-Star Martial Saints. Alex used this opportunity to get closer to them while looking at the group with cold eyes as if he was going to murder them.

”No way!”

”Two 5-Star Martial Saints died just like that?”
