Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality Chapter 126 - 90: Stand with a Sword and Mount a Horse, Thun

The rain poured harder and louder in the mountain forest.

The dull thunder accompanied by the flashes of lightning through the clouds beca more frequent.

Who knows how long they had walked.

Suddenly!

On the hilltop not far away, through the rain, a shadowy figure appeared faintly.

At this mont.

A flash of lightning streaked by.

In the brief illumination.

The outline of the shadow beca distinct; it was a human figure!

Hilltop.

In the brilliance of the lightning, the figure’s appearance was clearly revealed. It was none other than the human trafficker Wu Xingwang!

There was soone!

Lin Beichen and Alek noticed at the sa ti.

Alek didn’t know who this figure was, but he knew his chance to escape had co. He was already here; aside from his own people, it couldn’t be anyone else!

He suddenly lunged forward, making sure his back was no longer vulnerable, as if he was in a runner’s starting stance.

Lin Beichen had been watching Alek’s every move. When he saw Alek’s reaction to the figure, he anticipated that Alek might take action.

As expected!

He guessed correctly.

At this mont, the Palm Thunder that had been poised in Lin Beichen’s palm quickly transferred to the Thunder Tribulation Sword in his hand.

"..."

Without a sound.

Suddenly!

The previously rough surface of the Thunder Tribulation Sword now appeared smooth and reflective, with blue and white arcs of electricity dancing on the blade.

This made the previously blunt-looking wooden sword appear incredibly sharp!

Without any hesitation.

Lin Beichen thrust the Thunder Tribulation Sword towards Alek’s back.

"Hey..."

"Buzz—!"

Alek’s voice was abruptly cut off.

The Thunder Tribulation Sword pierced through Alek’s back as if it were tofu, penetrating to his chest. The arcs of electricity on the blade surged into his body through the point of contact.

Alek looked down with difficulty, his despairing eyes seeing the tip of the immaculate sword.

In the next instant.

Under his gradually blurring gaze.

Wisps of black smoke seeped out from the wound.

"Urgh urgh urgh urgh urgh..."

Alek’s whole body convulsed madly, twitching uncontrollably like a carp on a stick.

Blood foam gushed from his mouth.

In the blink of an eye.

He stopped moving, his body beca rigid, and his limbs froze in their last contorted positions before the convulsions ceased.

He was dead!

Seeing this, Lin Beichen withdrew the Thunder Tribulation Sword from his body.

Not a drop of blood followed!

"Thud—!"

Alek’s corpse fell heavily onto the dry grass.

The kill was inevitable.

A dragon has a reverse scale; to touch it is to die!

Lin Beichen had already made up his mind before coming here.

Anyone related to the kidnapping of his parents...

None will live!

The reason he killed so decisively...

Besides Alek’s betrayal and exposing him, the crucial reason was that he knew Alek had led him near their destination and that Alek’s usefulness had diminished.

"What a pity."

Looking at Alek’s corpse, Lin Beichen’s expression didn’t change at all. He sighed inwardly; he had to find another way to uncover the exact location of the kidnappers’ hideout.

For a mont, he cast his gaze to the figure on the distant hilltop.

"This should be a lookout on the periphery of the kidnappers’ hideout."

Lin Beichen surmised to himself, "Since it’s a lookout, there should be more than one. Perhaps I can learn sothing from them."

With this thought, he began scouting the surroundings.

After a cautious reconnaissance.

He discovered...

There were only two lookouts in this entire area, and they were quite far apart.

"Let’s do it this way!"

After a brief consideration, Lin Beichen had a plan and then swaggered up the slope.

The sound and curtain of rain obscured his figure.

Until he was about twenty ters from the hilltop.

Wu Xingwang noticed the rapidly approaching figure.

Startled, he asked warily, "Who?!"

"It’s ."

Lin Beichen mimicked Alek’s voice, continuing to move forward, "Is everyone here?"

Wu Xingwang had had limited contact with Alek.

At the sudden hearing...

He imdiately thought it sounded like Alek.

"Everyone’s here."

Wu Xingwang replied instinctively, then asked, "Alek, have you returned?"

During his reply.

Lin Beichen had already moved within five or six ters of him.

Almost there!

By closing the distance, he ensured an infallible strike!

At such a close distance.

Even in the dim light and rain curtain.

Many details could still be seen.

Wu Xingwang’s brow furrowed instantly; Alek wasn’t this tall or this sturdy.

He suddenly realized.

This damn...

Wasn’t Alek!

"Who are you?!"

As Wu Xingwang’s words fell.

Under his astonished gaze.

Lin Beichen transferred the Palm Thunder to the Thunder Tribulation Sword and slashed fiercely.

Imdiately!

With a sound like a bolt of lightning, a dazzling blue and white electric light shot from the Thunder Tribulation Sword, striking Wu Xingwang.

Wu Xingwang only saw a glimr of blue and white rapidly expand.

Before he could react.

The blue and white light struck his body directly.

"Ah!"

A single shivering, sorrowful cry.

Only one such cry.

Wu Xingwang had no ti for another; his entire body convulsed violently before becoming rigid. With a peal, he collapsed to the ground.

Motionless!

Another one dead!

"Everything is going according to my plan!"

Lin Beichen nodded in satisfaction, then looked in another direction, took a deep breath, erased all traces of his presence, and swiftly concealed himself in the forest.

Monts later.

From the direction Lin Beichen had looked at earlier.

A figure approached, muttering, "Xingwang, what’s been happening here, making weird noises? This isn’t lookout duty; it’s self-sabotage. Even if you’re unhappy with their arrangents for us to keep watch, you can’t do this, understand?"

The figure beca clearer.

It was none other than another human trafficker, Zhou Tiezhu.

As he spoke, Zhou Tiezhu arrived and saw Wu Xingwang lying on the ground, his brow furrowed instantly. What was going on?

Why was he lying on the ground?

Was he ambushed?

Dead?

With this thought, rembering his unanswered muttering.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly found cover, cautiously observing the surroundings. Confirming no imdiate threats, he erged from cover and ran towards Wu Xingwang.

"Xingwang, what’s wrong?!"

Before the words fell.

Zhou Tiezhu reached Wu Xingwang’s side.

"????"

Under his gaze.

Wu Xingwang’s hair was stiff, his body covered in a layer of carbon black, resembling soone who had just erged from a coal pile, with blood-foam at the corners of his mouth.

This... this is...

Zhou Tiezhu was bewildered.

At that mont.

Suddenly!

A lightning bolt sliced leaf-like through the gray clouds in the sky.

"Crack—!!"

In an instant, the sky was as bright as day.

Illuminating the forest.

And through Zhou Tiezhu’s eyes, it illuminated his mind.

"Was he struck by lightning?!"
