Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Big Bad Villain, Hand Over the Map and I’ll Spare Your Life

Whoosh!

The huge Divine Mark Greatsword, carrying endless anger and boundless sword intent, came sweeping through the air. All the Thunder Beasts in its path were pierced by the Divine Mark Greatsword.

In an instant, the Divine Mark Greatsword drilled into the huge mouth of the Five-Colored Kui Niu, and after a moment, it broke through its belly and drilled out, soaring into the sky and transforming back into a human form.

“What a big one.”

A multicolored crystal floated above Chu Xin’s fair little hand. It was the monster core of the Five-Colored Kui Niu, and it still flickered with five-colored lightning.

The monster core of a demon beast is the source of its power. With its core taken by Chu Xin, the Five-Colored Kui Niu had almost completely lost its strength.

Its massive body crashed down from the sky, smashing heavily onto Five Thunders Mountain, causing the entire mountain to shake violently.

Moo!

The Five-Colored Kui Niu let out a miserable cry. A series of muffled sounds came from within its body, lasting for a while before stopping. By this time, the Five-Colored Kui Niu was completely lifeless.

“It’s dead?” The prodigies were astonished.

“Although the monster core is the source of a demon beast’s power, losing it doesn’t necessarily mean death. Could it be that it lost its strength and fell to its death?” A prodigy guessed.

“The Five-Colored Kui Niu, as a seventh-rank Thunder Beast, is tempered by lightning all year round. Its body is stronger than ordinary demon beasts of the same rank. How could it die from such a fall?” Another prodigy immediately retorted, but his tone also carried a hint of doubt.

“I know. This Five-Colored Kui Niu originally intended to devour Thunder Beasts to increase its strength. The devoured Thunder Beasts need their cores to be converted into its own power. Now that the core has been dug out by that brat, the Thunder Beasts devoured into its body couldn’t be converted and exploded inside it. Although the Five-Colored Kui Niu’s body is strong, its internal organs are not as tough as its body, and they were shattered by the lightning of those Thunder Beasts. But because its body is too strong, there is no change on the outside.”

“I see.”

After that prodigy’s explanation, the other prodigies were suddenly enlightened.

“Trash!”

Lei Wanjun frowned and cursed in a low voice.

He had originally planned to wait for the brat and the Five-Colored Kui Niu to fight to a standstill, and then reap the benefits.

Even if they didn’t fight to a standstill, he wanted to deplete the brat’s True Qi and energy as much as possible.

He never expected that the Five-Colored Kui Niu would die in such a humiliating way.

Looking at the brat’s condition, there was no sign of any significant depletion of True Qi or energy.

He knew very well that if the brat still had the strength to fight, he had no chance of winning. He had the idea of retreating.

Roar!

At this moment, the surviving Thunder Beasts roared in unison, shaking the five-colored lightning above their heads.

The next moment, all the Thunder Beasts seemed to have gone mad, charging towards Chu Xin without any regard for their lives.

“There’s still a chance.”

Seeing this, Lei Wanjun’s eyes lit up, and he temporarily abandoned the idea of retreating.

He turned to look at the prodigies, a strange glint in his eyes, and said loudly, “Everyone, that brat has been fighting for so long. Her True Qi and energy must be greatly depleted. Set up the formation according to the secret method I transmitted to you earlier. When the time comes, I will only take two Five Thunders Fruits. The remaining three will be up for grabs, how about it?”

Three Five Thunders Fruits?

Greed flashed in the eyes of the prodigies.

That meant that as long as they were skilled enough, they had a chance to grab three Five Thunders Fruits. Such a huge benefit was worth the risk.

“Alright!”

Except for a few clear-headed prodigies, the rest stepped forward to prepare the formation.

Lei Wanjun turned to look at the few prodigies who did not step forward, and said in a gloomy tone, “Since you have no intention of competing for the Five Thunders Fruits, please leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

“Why? We just want to watch. We will never compete for the Five Thunders Fruits,” a prodigy said with dissatisfaction.

Lei Wanjun snorted coldly and said, “Who knows if you will launch a sneak attack after we set up the formation to kill that brat?”

Hearing this, the prodigies who were preparing to set up the formation suddenly reacted. They turned to look at those few people, their eyes revealing a cold killing intent.

“You!”

◈◈◈

Those few were furious, but seeing the killing intent from the other prodigies, they knew that no matter how much they guaranteed, it would be useless. They could only leave helplessly.

“We’re leaving too. You guys continue.”

Seeing Lei Wanjun and the others looking at him, Long Shaoyu forced a smile and turned to leave.

The square-faced youth and the young archer also followed.

“Young Master, are we just leaving like this? Are we not going to do anything about those two brats?”

The square-faced youth asked doubtfully.

“We can’t do anything. If we don’t leave, Lei Wanjun will definitely lead the other prodigies to kill us first,” the young archer said coldly. “As for those two brats, they can only pray for themselves.”

Long Shaoyu smiled slightly and said, “Don’t worry, those two brats won’t die so easily. They have many secrets. Even if Lei Wanjun sets up an ancient formation, he may not be able to harm them. As for those prodigies who stayed behind to set up the formation with Lei Wanjun, I’m afraid they are in for a rough time.”

As one of the Top Ten Young Martial Saints of the Nine Provinces, he naturally knew more about Lei Wanjun than others.

This guy was very sinister. That so-called ancient formation was definitely not as simple as he said.

“Set up the formation!”

After the irrelevant people left, Lei Wanjun shouted, and joined forces with the prodigies to set up the formation. Mysterious lines intertwined around Five Thunders Mountain in a strange pattern.

Buzz!

When the ancient formation took shape, a triumphant smile appeared on Lei Wanjun’s face. However, this smile was fleeting, and no one noticed the anomaly.

He turned to look at Chu Xin, who was killing Thunder Beasts, and shouted, “Brat, hand over the Five Thunders Fruits, and we can spare your life.”

Chu Xin waved her fair little hand, and the Divine Mark Greatsword slashed out, causing a large number of Thunder Beasts to fall.

She looked up at Lei Wanjun, who was floating high in the sky outside Five Thunders Mountain, and mimicked his tone, shouting in a childish voice, “Big Bad Villain, hand over the map, and I can spare your life.”

“Humph! Let’s see how long you can be arrogant.”

Lei Wanjun snorted coldly, formed a hand seal, and the lines of the ancient formation instantly lit up.

In an instant, all the prodigies who had set up the formation felt a terrifying suction force outflow from the formation. The True Qi in their bodies, and even their spiritual power, were frantically pouring into the formation. No matter how they struggled, they could not stop it.

“Not good, there’s something wrong with this formation.”

A prodigy cried out in horror.

“Lei Wanjun, what’s going on?”

A prodigy roared angrily.

“The brat is fierce. I’ll borrow your strength.”

Lei Wanjun laughed and retreated rapidly, instantly moving outside the formation.

At the same time, the lines of the ancient formation flashed, and black threads rose from the lines, sinking into the prodigies and frantically devouring their cultivation and spiritual power.

“Damn it.”

The prodigies were shocked and angry, struggling desperately, but it was too late.
