Chapter 387: The Seal of Thunder (2/2)
”Kom! Kom!”
”Clank! Clank!”
As soon as Li Shiming's Blade Aura was about to get an inch longer, it was immediately suppressed by the Thunder Blade. It happened so fast that majority of the audiences could not even tell what was happening on the stage, other than swirls of Blade Aura dancing in all directions.
The Ivantian audiences cheered loudly for Lee Xin; they believed that sooner or later, Li Shiming would slip up and allow him to land a solid and decisive blow.
The thought of defeating Li Shiming elated all Ivantians. Although the impact of the rise of Li Feng could still be felt today, the tattered influence of House Li had encouraged the Ivantians to reclaim dominance of the Confederation.
If Li Shiming lost the battle, it would be another decisive blow to the reputation of House Li.
Suddenly, stormy clouds that had been hovering above the stage gathered around, as something bright roiled within, threatening to pierce through the dark clouds with its brightness.
Meanwhile, Lee Xin's soul energy soared, the energy around him made his hair stand on their ends. However, Li Shiming still refused to crank up his soul energy despite the imminent defeat.
All Earthling audiences were on the edge of their seats by the development. Many of them felt that Li Shiming was going to give the victory away freely to his opponent.
Wang Tong's mind raced; although he was certain that Li Shiming would not give up so easily, he was perplexed as to what this guy had planned for his next move.
The Seal of Thunder was finally complete! There was no escape once trapped inside the web formed by the cracking lightning serpents.
Lee Xin knew that his moment had finally come, so he unleashed the deadliest final eight strikes.
”Zeng!”
The Thunder Blade suddenly increased its size and hewed at Li Shiming, as it released all of the energy stored within. Everyone realized that Li Shiming had come to the moment of life and death.
A curl crept onto Lee Xin's mouth; it was only the beginning.
Li Shiming watched as a few strands of lightning escape the dark clouds and charge into the Thunder Blade—the second attack was coming.
Li Shiming drew a large gulp of air right before he was overwhelmed by thousands of tendrils of crackling lightning. He tried to defend against the attack using his GN force, but to no avail. Already, the second attack was on its way.
Sensing that there was no other way out, Li Shiming forced his soul energy to increase and then broke free from the first attack. He then quickly raised Vayu to block the second attack. However, he had underestimated the power in the attack, and was blown away, losing the precious chance to defend himself.
Seizing the opportunity, Lee Xin followed with another attack. The Seal of Thunder had given him a decisive advantage in controlling his opponent's movement, turning the fight into his solo performance.
The third attack hit home and sent Li Shiming's body flying. With his balance gone, Li Shiming failed to fend off the fourth and fifth strike. The fifth strike had even cracked open his GN defense and injured him.
After having received the sixth attack, Li Shiming's hands started to tremble and nearly dropped Vayu.
However, Lee Xin had slipped up during his seventh attack and missed his target, giving Li Shiming a moment to catch his breath.
Finally, Lee Xin unleashed the last attack, the eighth and the finishing move.
Lee Xin pointed the Thunder Blade at the ground as the dark clouds started to shrink in, like they had received a command. With an ear-deafening blare, the clouds had formed a giant lightning ball above Li Shiming's head.
