Chapter 138: That Brat is Actually at the Late Stage Martial Saint Realm?
Moo!
The Five-Colored Kui Niu let out an earth-shattering roar, its large eyes filled with boundless ferocity.
Crack!
Five-colored electric arcs flashed at the tips of its two horns, intertwining with each other and merging into a five-colored ball of electricity between the horns.
As the electric arcs surged, the five-colored ball emitted a powerful devouring force. The five-colored lightning on Five Thunders Mountain instantly surged towards the ball, which grew visibly larger.
Although it had not yet been unleashed, the aura it emanated already placed immense pressure on the numerous prodigies.
Even the Thunder Beasts that had initially intended to attack seemed to sense a fatal threat and retreated, not daring to approach.
This clearly demonstrated that the power of the Five-Colored Kui Niu’s attack was far beyond ordinary imagination.
Chu Xin blinked her large, round eyes and muttered softly, “This move looks a bit scary.”
Whoosh!
The divine marks within her body flowed, and golden divine mark power surged, condensing into a giant Divine Mark Greatsword in front of her.
The giant sword was covered in divine marks, appearing exceptionally sacred.
“What’s that? Runes?”
“They look like runes, but they’re not runes, or rather, they’re not ordinary runes.”
The numerous prodigies stared at the Divine Mark Greatsword, their faces filled with shock.
As prodigies of the Nine Provinces, they were naturally familiar with runes.
Talismans, formation stones, magical artifacts, and even some special cultivation techniques all contained runes.
But the runes on this giant sword were definitely not the runes they knew.
“These runes are something we’ve never seen or heard of before, but their power seems to be much stronger than ordinary runes.”
Lei Wanjun also frowned, deeply shocked.
The Thunder Sect was one of the Ten Great Sacred Grounds of the Nine Provinces, with an incredibly profound heritage.
As the number one prodigy of the Thunder Sect, and even the entire Thunder Province, almost everything in the Thunder Sect was open to him.
It could be said that he was basically familiar with everything recorded in the Thunder Sect.
But he had never seen or even heard of these mysterious runes.
“Could this brat be from some hidden ancient power?”
Lei Wanjun speculated inwardly.
But the Ten Great Sacred Grounds had been passed down since ancient times and were considered the most ancient powers in the Nine Provinces. Even some ancient secrets could be found within them.
He really couldn’t imagine what kind of power could be more ancient than the Ten Great Sacred Grounds.
Zzz!
At this moment, a terrifying sword intent emanated from the Divine Mark Greatsword, colliding with the aura generated by the five-colored ball of electricity, tearing the void and producing a sizzling sound.
Moo!
The Five-Colored Kui Niu let out a roar, and the five-colored ball of electricity between its horns shot forward.
As it shot forward, its two horns continued to supply five-colored lightning.
From afar, it looked like two five-colored lightning chains connected to the five-colored ball, which was now no smaller than the bull’s head.
“Slash!”
At the same time, Chu Xin formed a sword seal with her hands and shouted in a childish voice. The Divine Mark Greatsword suddenly slashed down.
Boom!
The Divine Mark Greatsword and the five-colored ball of electricity collided, producing a deafening sound. The shockwave, mixed with sword qi and five-colored lightning, rippled out, sweeping through the surroundings.
“Retreat!”
The numerous prodigies were shocked and quickly retreated using their movement techniques.
“Ah! No!”
Those who reacted a bit slower, or were weaker and slower, were instantly struck by the shockwave of endless sword qi and five-colored lightning, turning into dust.
“This is too strong.”
The prodigies who managed to dodge looked at this scene, all staring at each other in horror.
Just the shockwave of the battle had such terrifying power. The attack unleashed by the late-stage seventh-rank Thunder Beast was truly terrifying.
◈◈◈
And that brat’s attack could actually withstand the Five-Colored Kui Niu’s attack. Her strength was at least not much weaker than the Five-Colored Kui Niu’s.
“That brat’s strength is actually this strong?”
“A little kid who looks less than five years old actually has strength comparable to a Late Stage Martial Saint? This is simply unbelievable.”
“Yeah, compared to that brat, we’re so ashamed we could die.”
“Compared to her, we’re nothing but trash prodigies.”
The numerous prodigies were deeply shocked and discussed among themselves, filled with horror.
“That brat has strength comparable to a Late Stage Martial Saint, stronger than Lei Wanjun. How come she’s not among the Top Ten Prodigies of the Nine Provinces?”
“Right? With her strength, she should at least be in the top four. Why is she unknown in the Nine Provinces?”
The numerous prodigies all looked at Lei Wanjun and whispered among themselves.
Hearing the discussions of the numerous prodigies, Lei Wanjun’s face darkened, and his gaze turned gloomy as he looked at the brat on Five Thunders Mountain who was controlling the Divine Mark Greatsword to contend with the five-colored ball of electricity.
“Where did this brat come from?”
He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
Originally, in his plan, he would consume three Five Thunders Fruits, and his cultivation would definitely break through to the Late Stage Martial Saint realm. In addition, by controlling three types of lightning through the Five Thunders Fruits, his strength would definitely be much stronger than an ordinary Late Stage Martial Saint. At that time, he would have a chance to compete for the third or even the second place among the Nine Provinces’ prodigies.
He never expected that two brats would appear out of nowhere and snatch all five Five Thunders Fruits.
However, before this, he hadn’t given up and wanted to snatch the Five Thunders Fruits from those two brats, which is why he set up this ancient formation.
But this brat’s strength once again exceeded his expectations. He was no longer sure if this ancient formation could trap her.
But no matter what, he had to try.
The Five Thunders Fruits were the key to his breakthrough. He wouldn’t give up until the last moment.
He looked at the Five-Colored Kui Niu and muttered, “This Five-Colored Kui Niu also has strength comparable to a Late Stage Martial Saint, and it has the home-field advantage. It should have a good chance of winning. Even if it can’t defeat that brat, it can greatly deplete her energy and stamina.”
Thinking of this, he felt a bit more confident.
“This brat seems to have gotten stronger again,”
Long Shaoyu also muttered to himself.
“Big pretty cow, your electric ball is quite powerful.”
Chu Xin looked at the five-colored ball of electricity that was locked in a stalemate with the Divine Mark Greatsword. A hint of surprise appeared in her large, round eyes.
Moo!
The Five-Colored Kui Niu felt insulted. It mooed and increased the output of five-colored lightning.
With the support of new energy, the power of the five-colored ball of electricity increased greatly, forcefully pushing the Divine Mark Greatsword forward.
“Bad cow, you’re not playing fair, attacking while I’m talking, humph.”
Chu Xin shouted in a childish voice. Then, she changed her sword seal, and the originally huge Divine Mark Greatsword suddenly began to vibrate at a strange frequency.
And the frequency of the vibration was getting faster and faster. As it vibrated, the divine marks on the giant sword also flowed rapidly.
Every time the divine marks flowed around the giant sword, the sword intent it emitted would become stronger. This sword intent, along with the vibration of the Divine Mark Greatsword, surged into the five-colored ball of electricity.
“Break for me!”
Chu Xin’s childish voice sounded again. Then, with a loud bang, the huge five-colored ball of electricity shattered, turning into countless five-colored lightning bolts that dissipated.
But the Divine Mark Greatsword continued to slash towards the Five-Colored Kui Niu.
Crack!
One of the five-colored horns was cut off at the root.
