155 Hell Tribulation, Second Wave (1/2)
Suddenly, the Eye's killing intent intensified and focused on Cao Mao.
”BRAT, DEFEND YOURSELF!! THE NEW WAVE IS COMING”
Jia Shan's voice echoed from afar. Cao Mao could see his mentor, his wives, and babies 300 meters away with the corner of his eyes. It seemed they were safe.
Even if Jia Shan warned Cao Mao. It was too late to react.
By a rough estimation, a total of 2,000 strands of lightning and wind element Qi gathered in the sky. The condensed energy transformed into a ball of energy as the eye was controlling it.
The sky eye widened, and the energy ball turned into a beam of light.
The beam descended!
”MIAOMIAO!!” The girls screamed and ran toward Cao Mao. Fortunately, Jia Wenhe used his power to pull everybody away from the ion cannon beam.
Cao Mao drew his right leg back and got into a sword stance. He grabbed KQ's handle and used one of his new skills, drawing a magic formation with 9 slashes.
Death Fortress Sword, Solution 9, Energy Cylinder!
A magic circle appeared before Cao Mao.
BOOM
The beam descended and engulfed Cao Mao's body. The light was so bright that Jia Shan, Jia Wenhe, and other girls could no longer see his silhouette.
RUMBLE
The Heavenly Eye kept the beam going as if it wanted to make sure that Cao Mao wouldn't survive. 12 minutes later, the energy beam ceased.
White smoke covered the field where Cao Mao had stood. However, the beam had disintegrated the ground, leaving a large hole, covering 500 square meters.
The Eye of Heaven sneered at Cao Mao. It curved up as if it was grinning, thinking that it had destroyed the threat.
Wei Yuan wailed, believing that Cao Mao had perished. On the other hand, the yin slaves rubbed their rings.
Jiang Lan, Kang Yan, and Ju Chen were shocked at first. But they grinned when they sensed the presence of Cao Mao through the connection of the rings.
Jia Shan and Jia Wenhe also sensed the presence within the giant hole. They heaved a sigh of relief.
The reaction of the elders and yin slaves caught the attention of the Heaven Eye. It glanced at them in confusion at first. A minute later, it widened its eye in disbelief.
Cao Mao was still alive inside the hole. His skin and hair were burned to crisp, but the yellowish gas around him kept healing his injuries. The Life Essence water rippled and produced wood element Qi nonstop, exchanging essence droplets into yellow miasma.
The Heaven Eye could also sense the taboo heaven fate fragment within Cao Mao's dantian.
The Eye was so shocked that it didn't notice a magic circle formation floating before Cao Mao, which stole a portion of the lightning beam energy and negated some of the beam power. Now, it gathered enough Qi to return the favor to the user.
”My turn.”
Getting caught off guard, the energy punctured through the center of the eye. The beam shot up to space as if a giant pillar had been erected.
RUMBLE
The Heaven Will was infuriated. Getting counterattacked was humiliating as it was supposed to destroy the unworthy cultivators, not getting tested itself.
The sky eye reformed. It gathered more energy as it wanted to launch another attack.
However, it didn't notice a hundred small pills, which were thrown from the hole. Now, they floated at the center of the eye.
They were CJ's charged grenade pills. Moreover, they contained a heretic spell.
The grenade pills absorbed the surrounding lightning element Qi. As the pill couldn't contain intense energy, they exploded.
BOOM
A hundred explosion interrupted the Heaven Eye and the flow of the thunderstorm. The Eye's second lightning beam got canceled.
At the bottom of the abyss, Cao Mao was watching the eye while drinking a mouthful of hollowed spring water. His burned skin slowly healed and his long black hair regrew.
Cao Mao summoned another handful of grenade pills to his left hand while his other hand held KQ, who burped after a feast of over a thousand strands of lightning element Qi. She didn't share the energy with Cao Mao, though, as she used the energy to refine herself.
Now, Killer Queen's blade body emitted dark static.
'HYAHAHAHAHA!! HOOMAN, LET ME TAKE ON THAT STUPID EYE!'
KQ didn't eat enough. She wiggled in Cao Mao's hand, slipping out of his grasp. She flew toward the Heaven Eye, planning to devour more lightning element Qi.
Seeing the sentient sword, the Eye gathered the remaining energy. However, its power was visibly weakened. It couldn't summon another thunderstorm as the remnant of Heaven Will was fading after the previous interruption attack.
'COME ON, BABY. ZAP ME AGAIN!'
KQ began draining the thunderstorm energy and stole the Eye's lightning Qi.
The lightning Eye screeched. It mustered its last remaining element Qi to transform into a humongous hand, made of electricity.
The hand swatted KQ away. Then, it folded the fingers into a fist and sent a punch to the ground, where Cao Mao was hiding.
Meanwhile, Cao Mao grinned when he realized that the Will of Heaven wanted to fight in a close range. He opened his mouth and released a waterfowl howl.
”HONK!!”
