Chapter 172 Thunder Technique? This must be a Heavenly Tribulation!
Mengde's mind was buzzing and completely shut down.
The "transition animation" is late, but it's finally here.
He staggered backward, staring in horror at the women around him who had once shared his days and nights of tender affection.
Demons? They are demons?
A bone-chilling cold instantly enveloped my entire body.
He suddenly remembered that he had indeed been feeling powerless and lacking energy lately.
He is often absent-minded when handling official business.
He thought it was due to overwork in handling government affairs.
Looking back now, it wasn't just exhaustion, it was clearly...
"You...you're asking for it!"
Mei'er realized what was happening, and the sorrow and fragility on her face vanished completely, replaced by resentment and a chilling murderous intent.
She dropped her pretense, her shrill voice becoming hoarse and grating: "A mere human! How dare you see through our true forms!"
"Today I will extract your soul and refine it for forty-nine days!"
call!
Before she finished speaking, three fluffy white fox tails suddenly shot out from behind her, their demonic aura soaring into the sky!
At the same time, the aloof woman and the other dozen or so "confidantes" all changed their expressions.
Their alluring aura vanished instantly, replaced by a cold, bloodthirsty demonic presence.
Fox tails appeared and swayed behind them, one or two tails at a time, forming a nauseating pink aura that enveloped the entire training ground!
The previously friendly unit has finally developed a red health bar.
【Three-Tailed Fox Demon - Mei'er (Elite)】
[Level: 30]
【Three-Tailed Fox Demon - Cold Moon (Elite)】
[Level: 29]
……
"Brother Meng!" Mei'er turned her head to look at Meng De, whose face had turned deathly pale, and a trace of sorrow was forced onto her face again.
Have you forgotten the bond we shared?
"Are you really going to hurt us, your sisters who truly care about you, for the sake of an outsider?"
Meng De's body trembled violently, his face contorted in painful struggle.
Chen You's lips twitched as he watched this scene.
He couldn't be bothered to wait for any cutscenes; he'd already seen enough.
Since the health bar is already displayed, what else is there to say!
He simply watched calmly as the group of fox demons, their demonic aura soaring, prepared to pounce.
The hand, crackling with electricity, clenched seemingly casually.
In an instant, the whole world seemed to lose its sound.
Above the training ground, the sky suddenly darkened as if it were ink, and thick dark clouds gathered and churned out of thin air, forming a huge thundercloud vortex that exuded an aura of destruction.
"Attack!" Mei'er screamed as she sensed the terrifying aura of destruction.
More than a dozen fox demons simultaneously transformed into streaks of pink afterimages, rushing towards Chen You with a stench!
"fall."
Boom!
A massive blue lightning bolt, thicker than a bucket, tore through the sky like a divine spear of punishment.
With a violent aura capable of shattering everything, it struck the very center of the training ground with perfect accuracy!
The fox demons, who had just pounced on the group, didn't even have time to let out a scream.
In that ridiculously thick bolt of lightning, it was instantly decomposed and vaporized, leaving not even a trace of ash!
"I……"
Still immersed in the emotional scene, Meng De only managed to utter one word before being thrown back by a terrifying shockwave, his face blank with shock.
But this is just the beginning.
Before the first bolt of lightning had even dissipated, a second, a third, a fourth…
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thick thunderbolts, like a celestial river pouring into the mortal world, or like the wrathful punishment of a god, fell wildly and without any order or gap!
Their target is not any particular enemy.
Their target is...everything in this area!
What was once an elegant backyard with artificial hills, flowing water, pavilions, and towers, is now as fragile as a sandcastle in the face of this impenetrable thunderous waterfall.
The ground was plowed, turned over, and charred again and again!
The artificial hill was blasted into dust!
The water in the pond surged and evaporated, and the fish began to swim on their backs, only to be thrown up and smashed!
The hard bluestone road twisted and melted in the lightning, and was then shattered by subsequent lightning strikes!
The entire backyard of the city lord's mansion was completely transformed into a sea of lightning, a purgatory of destruction!
Bathed in the light of lightning, Chen You stood quietly, his clothes fluttering and his hair swaying.
Thunder magic?
No, this is called whitewashing!
Chen You's main body, who was in the training room, was slightly taken aback when he saw the world-destroying scene from the perspective of his clone.
He just wanted to kill those fox demons.
Who knew that the beginner level of the "Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder Orthodox Method" would be so outrageous?
This is clearly a widespread, blanket bombing!
He even began to wonder if his spiritual power was so high that it caused a bug-like amplification of his skills.
Little did he know.
Heavenly-level cultivation techniques are, in essence, a path that can defy fate and change one's destiny.
Moreover, this lightning magic naturally has a multiplied damage bonus against evil spirits.
Using it to deal with a fox demon that's at most level 30 is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
This is just the beginning.
If one cultivates to the highest level and summons the divine thunder of the nine heavens, let alone a backyard, one might be able to wipe the entire Thousand Light City off the map!
The lightning lasted for a good ten seconds.
As the last bolt of lightning disappeared into the scorched earth, silence finally returned to the world.
A deathly silence.
Chen You slowly lowered his hand. His Mo Yuan Xing He robe was spotless, without even a single wrinkle.
He looked around.
The sight before him left even himself speechless.
The once elegant training ground has completely disappeared, replaced by a charred and smoking giant crater.
As for those dozen or so fox demons?
Not to mention the corpse, not even a trace of ashes remained.
In a true sense, his bones were crushed to ashes and his spirit was completely annihilated.
"..."
Chen You remained silent for a moment, silently complaining to himself.
It seems like they used too much force.
He was about to turn around and talk to the city lord, who was still immersed in the pain of heartbreak, about the follow-up mission when a line of blood-red system notifications suddenly popped up in front of him without warning.
[WARNING: An unplanned branch has been detected in the storyline node "He Must Love You Very Much," indicating an irreversible break in some logical chains...]
[System rules are being urgently revised...]
[Under repair... Estimated time: 30 seconds...]
Chen You: "?"
An unexpected branch? A logical break?
What does this mean?
Could it be because I went too far and wiped out the NPC who was supposed to trigger the next part of the story?
Some classic game strategies instantly flashed through his mind.
It's most likely that the three-tailed fox demon named Mei'er will trigger an animation when she's at low health.
They shouted out some key clues, sometimes with a tragic tone, sometimes with a malicious intent.
Then, players continue to advance the story based on the clues.
As a result, his own lightning-based cleansing, comparable to a heavenly tribulation, left the other party with nothing, not even a punctuation mark, let alone a dying wish.
"Tsk."
Chen You pursed his lips, inwardly complaining.
"You should have said so earlier! If you had told me there was a plot-driven death, I would have gone easy on you."
Little did he know that this task was a tough battle for the other players.
Players must painstakingly find weaknesses amidst the allure and attacks of a group of fox spirits.
Finally, with Mengde's "help," they were defeated one by one.
The whole process was full of tug-of-war and choices.
Who else can wipe the entire training ground and all the monsters off the map with a wave of their hand like him?
After a long internal struggle, Mengde finally completed his long "transition animation".
He clenched his fist and, in a tone of righteous indignation as if he had discovered the truth, shouted:
"Demon... demon! What a bold demon! How dare you bewitch this city lord to this extent!"
Having said that, he stepped forward, cupped his hands in a salute to Chen You, and spoke in a booming voice.
"Adventurer! This monster corrupts hearts! I beg you to join forces with me, and together... uh..."
Mengde's voice abruptly stopped.
He looked at the empty, gaping pit, then at Chen You's expressionless face, and couldn't bring himself to say the words "slay demons and eliminate evil."
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
