"Hahaha..."
Thinking of his triumph, Lv Yuze couldn't help but burst into loud laughter. He wasn't even worried that Zhang Bin might hear him. At this point, it seed like Zhang Bin was on his last breath and probably didn't even have the strength to activate his ultimate weapon.
He attacked Zhang Bin with renewed frenzy, not stopping until he had exhausted every last bit of thunder from his two Thunder Pools.
By then, Zhang Bin was motionless. His entire body was blackened and curled up, looking utterly pitiful.
"Hahaha... Zhang Bin, you idiot! You actually didn't resist, use your ultimate weapon, or even wear your armor. You just died like that! I'm ecstatic! I'm starting to suspect your entire existence was for my benefit, just so you could deliver all your treasures to . Thank you, thank you so much. Travel well." Lv Yuze laughed maniacally, nearly choking in his mirth.
"Damn... I almost fell asleep."
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"Who? Who's there?" Lv Yuze jumped with fright and shouted.
At the sa ti, his eyes darted around as his Divine Sense poured out. But he found nothing; the night was completely silent. There was no trace of any enemy.
"You idiot. Of course it's your grandpa, ." The mocking laughter echoed again, seemingly coming from the charred human figure.
"Zhang Bin, is that you? You're not dead?" Lv Yuze's face was filled with shock and disbelief. He stared at Zhang Bin and stumbled backward. In that mont, he even wondered if it was Zhang Bin's soul speaking.
"Idiot, how could I possibly be dead? Thanks for helping cultivate a Thunder Pool."
Zhang Bin abruptly stood up, his charred clothes instantly falling away. A set of gray-black armor materialized on his body and, astonishingly, his hair grew back as rapidly as wild grass. A layer of char peeled from his face, revealing his features, completely unhard.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible..." Lv Yuze let out an incredulous yell, the horror on his face intensifying.
"What's impossible? Allow to show you my Thunder Technique!" Zhang Bin laughed eerily, and his right ear twitched. Then, a heaven-shaking bolt of thunder, carrying the montum to destroy everything, struck Lv Yuze.
BOOM...
With an earth-shattering crack, Lv Yuze was sent flying like a scarecrow.
ARGH...
He let out an utterly wretched scream. His clothes, his hair, and his skin all turned to ash under the terrifying Thunderous Assault. His entire body went numb. As he hit the ground, he writhed in agony, unable to get up for a mont.
Zhang Bin's newly developed Thunder Pool had absorbed all of Lv Yuze's thunder. Now, when used to attack Lv Yuze, its power was terrifying, far surpassing the might of the thunder Lv Yuze had originally unleashed. It was simply incredible.
Even Zhang Bin himself was stunned for a mont. What's going on? Could I be a once-in-a-millennium genius at cultivating the Thunder Technique? But I only have one True Pool. I shouldn't be that kind of genius, right?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! You must have already mastered the Thunder Ability! You were setting up, stealing my thunder!" Lv Yuze's voice ca out in a terrified, furious yell.
At that mont, he was overco with regret. How could he have been so foolish? How had he failed to see through Zhang Bin's plot?
"I, Zhang Bin, am a man of impeccable character. I would never deceive you. I really did just develop this Thunder Pool," Zhang Bin said earnestly.
"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Lv Yuze seed to have gone mad, continuing to shout incoherently.
It was no wonder he couldn't believe it. He knew that cultivating the Thunder Technique was extrely dangerous. When first developing a Thunder Pool, one required two of the most powerful experts to act as protectors. One expert would attack with thunder, while the other would use a Secret Technique to help resist the bombardnt. An exceptionally miraculous elixir—the Heart-Protecting Pill—was also needed to protect the heart from being damaged by the thunder. Otherwise, before the Thunder Pool could even be developed, the cultivator would be turned to ash, completely annihilated.
But Zhang Bin hadn't taken a Heart-Protecting Pill, nor did he have any protectors. Furthermore, Lv Yuze himself had been bombarding Zhang Bin with lethal intent. How could anyone possibly develop a Thunder Pool under such conditions?
What he didn't know was that Zhang Bin cultivated the miraculous Qingmu Longevity Technique, which granted him an incredibly powerful life force. His ability to withstand thunder attacks was extraordinary. Cultivators on Xuanwu Star who practiced the Savage Overbearing Body Art also possessed terrifying life forces capable of withstanding the bombardnt of thunder. Thus, cultivators on Xuanwu Star all developed their Thunder Pools this way. They had no need for the Heart-Protecting Pill or expert protectors. All it took was one expert skilled in the Thunder Technique to attack them relentlessly.
Moreover, it was precisely because of his strong life force that the Thunder Pool Zhang Bin developed was so extraordinary. The power of the thunder he emitted now surpassed Lv Yuze's.
"If you don't believe , there's nothing I can do." Zhang Bin spread his hands. "Now, how do you plan to die? Do you want to blast you to death with thunder? Or would you prefer I chop off your head? Or perhaps I should leave your corpse intact?"
The color drained from Lv Yuze's face. Only now did he realize that he had been played like a fiddle by Zhang Bin all along. Zhang Bin wasn't the fool; he, Lv Yuze, was. The one who deserved to be ridiculed wasn't Zhang Bin, but him. It now seed that escaping with his life would be very difficult.
However, he was the suprely talented Lv Yuze, an incredibly powerful Supernatural Expert, the leader of the Baoyu Organization, and a veteran of countless bloody battles. Even now, he had not lost all hope.
He suddenly yelled, "Extre Speed Superpower, activate!"
His body instantly lit up with blue-colored light. He sprang up like a coil and fled into the distance like a bolt of lightning. On closer inspection, one could see him constantly changing direction, moving like a ghostly spirit whose trajectory was impossible to fathom. Hitting him with thunder was simply out of the question.
At such a speed, he could escape back to the Immortal Palace in just a few minutes. Once he reached the grounds of the Immortal Palace, his life would be saved, for it housed many Supernatural Experts. His master, Si Yangze, would certainly save him.
"Idiot," Zhang Bin said with disdain as his mouth flew open.
WHOOSH...
A piercing sound rang out as a red Flying Sword burst forth, shooting straight toward Lv Yuze's heart.
"Ah! Break!" Lv Yuze had been on guard against Zhang Bin's attacks. Seeing the Flying Sword, he despaired but did not give up. Raising the Fang Tian halberd in his hands, he spun around and slashed fiercely at the Flying Sword.
But he struck nothing but air.
The Flying Sword was too fast for him to intercept. One must know, Zhang Bin had now cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Liquid State. His combat strength had increased trendously, and his Sword Control ability had been augnted as well, making it much easier to slay his enemies.
