Ch 211: Eighteen Heavenly Thunderbolts
“Hey, you’re really stubborn, why don’t you just throw the arrow away?”
Hu Loulan’s screams could be heard from the sea, causing Zhang Buran’s heart to pound.
Limitless Celestial Venerable, Limitless Celestial Venerable…
I didn’t mean to!
The Heavenly Punishment’s Thunder Arrows are for targeting; they strike wherever they are aimed.
Moreover, even if destroyed, the Thunder Arrow’s energy doesn’t dissipate, and it still has a targeting effect.
“But there were only 18 Heavenly Thunders, they should all have struck by now? Hu Loulan…shouldn’t be dead, right?”
Zhang Buran only wanted to incapacitate Hu Loulan; otherwise, he could have used 28, or even 38 Heavenly Thunders.
The thunderclouds in the sky dissipated; this “Heavenly Punishment” attack only consisted of eighteen Heavenly Thunders, and they’ve now all struck.
On the sea’s surface, large patches of dead fish and shrimp floated, a scene of devastation.
A large amount of electrolyzed hydrogen rose, the smell was pungent…
Limitless Celestial Venerable, Limitless Celestial Venerable…
My sin, my sin…
Zhang Buran silently chanted in his heart.
Don’t deplete my Merit!
I only did it to protect others, it was unavoidable…
Fish and shrimp brothers, please don’t blame me, Zhang Buran… I wish you reincarnation and rebirth as humans!
After a long time, Zhang Buran didn’t see any other movement on the sea.
Hu Loulan should be incapacitated.
Zhang Buran had just jumped into the sea to retrieve Hu Loulan when he felt a chill.
Not good!
A bone-chilling Cold Qi quickly spread, rapidly freezing the seawater.
Fortunately, Zhang Buran reacted quickly and leaped out of the sea.
However, one of his legs was frozen.
Zhang Buran shattered the ice on his leg, squinting at the area below.
“Roar!”
A Dragon Roar echoed.
Hu Loulan could still fight!
Although her whole body was bruised, and her hard Dragon Scales were shattered, Hu Loulan roared and charged over, still vigorous!
“Your physique and recovery ability are terrifying,” Zhang Buran complimented involuntarily.
However, at the same time, Zhang Buran also noticed something was wrong with Hu Loulan’s current state.
Hu Loulan was now covered in golden Dragon Scales, her pupils were narrowed like needles, just like a dragon’s pupils, and the dragon horns on her forehead had grown longer.
The key was, Hu Loulan had grown a tail!
Like a dragon’s tail.
She no longer looked human.
While Zhang Buran pondered, Hu Loulan charged forward, swinging her claws wildly.
“Hey! Do you remember Mu Dieyi?”
Zhang Buran dodged while asking.
“Roar…”
But Hu Loulan couldn’t hear Zhang Buran’s words; she only knew to attack and roar incessantly.
“Sigh, it seems you’ve become a wild beast.”
“Little Dragon Person, I’m sorry.”
Zhang Buran spared no mercy, quickly grabbing the Little Dragon Person’s dragon horn, spinning it around before throwing it away.
Before the Little Dragon Person could regain his footing, Zhang Buran reappeared in front of him.
Zhang Buran gathered his strength, and punched out!
“Bang!”
A loud bang, the fist hit Hu Loulan’s abdomen.
The Little Dragon Person spat blood, even rolled his eyes, and his consciousness was blurry.
But after a moment, the Little Dragon Person’s eyes regained their ferocity, and he bit down regardless.
Truly tenacious…
But next, Zhang Buran let the Little Dragon Person experience what a beating was.
“Bang bang bang bang bang bang…”
Fist shadows flickered; only the afterimages of Zhang Buran’s punches could be seen.
After a series of smooth combination punches, the Little Dragon Person attacked wildly and without any method, unable to defend himself.
Zhang Buran used overwhelming Body Arts to beat the Little Dragon Person.
Soon, the Little Dragon Person was bruised all over, his eyes were bloodshot, and blood flowed from his five orifices.
The Little Dragon Person was like a punching bag, ruthlessly pummeled by Zhang Buran.
After being knocked away, Zhang Buran sucked him back… then knocked him away again, and sucked him back… then knocked him away again…
However, the Little Dragon Person was also very resilient; his recovery speed was surprisingly fast.
Basically, after taking a punch from Zhang Buran, there was no bleeding, and he quickly recovered.
After several rounds, although the Little Dragon Person had been constantly beaten, relying on his resilience and fast recovery ability, he still ferociously attacked Zhang Buran with bites and claws like a small Teddy.
“So tough?”
Zhang Buran didn’t intend to act anymore; after kicking the Little Dragon Person away, golden sword energy suddenly appeared in his hand.
The Qihuang Sword appeared in Zhang Buran’s hand.
“Swish!”
A fierce golden Sword Qi slashed out, hitting the Little Dragon Person’s chest.
“Roar!”
The Little Dragon Person let out a painful dragon roar.
The sword light dissipated, and the Little Dragon Person had a terrifying wound on his chest, bleeding profusely.
The wound was rapidly healing at a visible speed, but it was deep and would not heal for a while.
“Still able to endure?”
Zhang Buran swung his wrist, casually slashing out two more Sword Qis.
The Sword Qis spread out, reaching a hundred meters, forming a cross, hitting the Little Dragon Person in the center.
It also cut a cross-shaped cut on the sea surface, but it was quickly submerged.
“Glug glug glug…”
The Little Dragon Person was submerged by the seawater; a large amount of bitter seawater poured into his chest cavity, and another cross-shaped scar appeared on his chest.
But he wouldn’t give up!
He couldn’t lose!
He would fight to the death… even if it meant fighting until he died!
At this moment, Hu Loulan could no longer be considered Hu Loulan.
She was simply a monster who had lost her reason, with only battle in her mind!
“Roar!”
The Little Dragon Person charged out of the sea again!
Anger and a desire to fight still shone in her eyes.
“Your body can’t take it anymore; there’s a limit to your recovery ability. Once you reach the critical point, your body will collapse.”
If Hu Loulan really couldn’t regain consciousness, they couldn’t let such a powerful destructive monster run wild.
Hu Loulan would destroy Magic City…
Just as Zhang Buran was considering whether to kill her.
The sea surface churned, and a person flew out.
To be precise, it was a ghost.
Mu Dieyi flew out, seeing the injured Hu Loulan, her face full of heartache.
“Stop, she’ll die!”
Mu Dieyi stood between Zhang Buran and Hu Loulan.
“Hu Loulan has lost her mind,” Zhang Buran said coldly.
“But don’t kill her, it’s all because of me…”
Before Mu Dieyi finished speaking, she felt a hot gust of wind behind her…
Hu Loulan bit Mu Dieyi’s shoulder.
At this moment, Hu Loulan was attacking any living creature indiscriminately.
“Um…Loulan, it’s me… I’m Mu Dieyi.”
Although Mu Dieyi was in pain, she let Hu Loulan bite her.
Her pale fingers touched Hu Loulan’s cheek, softly saying:
“Little fool?”
Hearing this voice, a hint of clarity seemed to return to Hu Loulan’s crimson pupils.
Dieyi…
Mu Dieyi…
Little fool…
Hu Loulan remembered, this was Mu Dieyi’s unique term of endearment for her…
The anger in Hu Loulan’s eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by normal pupils.
“Dieyi…”
Memories of her time with Mu Dieyi flashed through her mind, and Hu Loulan began to regain her senses.
Hu Loulan’s dragon horns began to shorten, the dragon scales on her body began to rapidly recede, her skin gradually lost its golden luster, and the black runes also faded slowly.
Hu Loulan deactivated Dragon God Mode.
Once the Transformation into Yang Divinity Dragon God mode was deactivated, the Dragon God’s super strong recovery ability ceased to exist.
Hu Loulan’s wounds began to bleed rapidly.
Her already overstrained body finally couldn’t take it anymore.
Hu Loulan’s legs went weak, and she almost fell, but Mu Dieyi managed to catch her in time.
“Dieyi, what’s wrong with you… you… how did you become a ghost?”
Ignoring the piercing pain in her body, feeling Mu Dieyi’s energy, Hu Loulan was somewhat panicked.
“Don’t talk, you’re not well.”
Tears welled up in Mu Dieyi’s eyes.
“Sleep well.”
Mu Dieyi exhaled.
Hu Loulan inhaled, sleepiness came over her, her eyelids grew heavy, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Zhang Buran also deactivated Thunder God mode and returned to his normal appearance.
He immediately felt a wave of tiredness.
Even with the perfect Transformation into Yang Divinity, fatigue would occur after use; it was unavoidable.
“Celestial Master, you are truly a god descending to earth, valiant and mighty!”
“I am utterly prostrate in admiration!”
After realizing there was no danger, Qie Man finally dared to come out and flatter.
Qie Man had now condensed a new Ghost Body.
However, due to the self-destruction, Qie Man had lost all his Ghost Qi, and the body he condensed was only a palm-sized chibi old man.
Like an old man doll from a supermarket.
“Stop flattering, I saved you because you saved someone I know.”
“From now on, just be a good ghost, and I’ll protect you.”
Zhang Buran actually wanted to keep this sycophant.
Although Zhang Buran knew that Qie Man wasn’t genuinely submissive.
But just now, if it weren’t for Qie Man helping to clean up those stray ghosts, Zhang Buran really couldn’t have concentrated on his own tasks.
“No problem, Celestial Master!”
Qie Man was overjoyed.
Since he had already become a sycophant, there was nothing bad about following Zhang Buran.
At least Zhang Buran was reliable in critical moments!
He recalled that when he was working for the Ten-Eyed Demon Lord, he was almost dead, and the Ten-Eyed Demon Lord didn’t care about him.
Importantly, Qie Man was now Bronze ranked and could only follow behind the big shots to gain points…
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Qie Man couldn’t even win against a General-Level Ghost.
To restore his strength and return to the top tier… a long and arduous journey lay ahead.
Anyway, being by Zhang Buran’s side, there would always be some benefits.
“I’ve already informed the Daoist Alliance; they should be arriving soon and will seal off the Fuguang Restaurant.”
“You’re a ghost now, and this place has been destroyed; the Daoist Alliance will easily associate the destruction with you.”
“Bring Hu Loulan to my place; at least you won’t be caught.”
Zhang Buran suggested.
“Okay! Thank you.”
Mu Dieyi carefully held Hu Loulan, expressing her gratitude.
…
Several people hiding behind the ruins were still trembling.
Li Jintong was the first to jump out.
“Wow, did you guys see that? The thunder striking, the fire erupting… rumbling, splashing, crackling… I feel like there were Immortals fighting! Even movies aren’t this amazing!”
Li Jintong excitedly danced around.
The next moment, Zhang Buran appeared beside Li Jintong, extended two fingers, and activated the Greater Art of Forgetting.
Li Jintong fainted.
When she wakes up, she’ll forget what happened.
Lin Wanmo, Wen Churou, Li Rongbing, and Li Sino stood up trembling.
“Just now… you… did you do that?”
“Yes.”
Zhang Buran quickly flashed to Lin Wanmo, activated the Greater Art of Forgetting, and she fainted.
Finally looking at the others, Zhang Buran hesitated.
Li Sino and Wen Churou were still under a curse, a curse placed by the Deathly Calamity Ghost in the Wang Family, and the Greater Art of Forgetting wouldn’t work.
And as for Li Rongbing, if Li Sino couldn’t forget, should he erase the brother’s memories too?
Li Rongbing also knew about some Ghosts and Monsters.
So for those three, Zhang Buran didn’t plan to erase their memories.
“Daoist Zhang…”
“I won’t erase your memories.”
“But you cannot talk about what you saw today… if anyone asks, just say that you heard an explosion and then fainted, you don’t know anything.”
“Yes, yes, my sister and I promise not to reveal a single detail!” Li Rongbing nodded.
“Especially you.”
Zhang Buran looked coldly at Wen Churou.
“Hmph, I wouldn’t say anything… uh… it hurts…”
Suddenly, Wen Churou felt a sharp pain in her heart, then clutched her chest, her expression pained as she fell to the ground.
