Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Thunder Mastery Technique_1

The wind generated by the Thunder Dragon’s landing blew everyone away, and also caused numerous trees to snap off at their midsections, with some being uprooted entirely.

Flora such as flowers and plants met an even more tragic fate, being utterly ravaged beyond recognition.

Sun Jin’an and the others were made a mess of, faces covered in dirt and looking extremely disheveled.

Two Qingyun Sect protectors were trembling so hard they could barely stand, looking at Xu Fan with expressions full of horror as if they were staring at a monster.

After the Thunder Dragon collapsed, it unleashed its power for several seconds before its form completely dissipated. At the spot where the Thunder Dragon had fallen, there appeared a nearly ten-foot-deep crater that seemed to have been melted into existence.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

And Yano Luo, not even a ghost of a shadow remained, he was completely ground to dust and scattered to the winds.

Chang Muxin sat on the ground, looking at the deep pit with heart-pounding fear, his face pallid and his eyes twitching.

The appearance of this Thunder Dragon had utterly overturned his understanding of the ancient ways of martial arts—Yano Luo, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, melted away inside the body of the Thunder Dragon, demonstrating its terror-inducing might.

After annihilating Yano Luo, Xu Fan’s consumption of Spiritual Energy was inevitably significant, and he needed to recuperate for a while.

He looked at the chaotic scene before him and sighed softly, feeling that he could still enhance the power of his attack quite a bit.

As an Immortal Emperor of the Five Directions, in addition to contracting the Five Great Holy Beasts, Xu Fan also had a profound understanding of elemental laws, and the thunder element was naturally his specialty for offense.

This Destruction Thunder Dragon was one of the most powerful spells Xu Fan had practiced in the Cultivation World, accidentally obtained from an ancient relic site. Even as an Immortal Emperor, it had taken him a long time to fully master. To completely master it, it required the absorption of all elemental Spiritual Energy in order to unleash its power to the fullest.

As an ancient technique from times long past, the Destruction Thunder Dragon possessed tremendous and startling power. In the Cultivation World, he had once used this technique to instantly kill two Cultivators at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, evidencing its terror.

However, times have changed. Reborn and starting cultivation anew, Xu Fan’s current level hadn’t even reached Foundation Establishment, and Sea Blue Star was deficient in Spiritual Energy. So, despite deploying this move, its power appeared rather meager, and disappointment was inevitable.

After speculating that the strength of Tian Luo Sect’s red-robed members could match up to Foundation Establishment, Xu Fan considered how he could enhance his own combat power.

If he couldn’t break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in time, facing the red-robed might not be so easy, and even if he emerged victorious by luck, the cost was likely to be “losing eight hundred to kill a thousand”—a huge price to pay.

Thus, Xu Fan brought out this ancient secret technique, the Destruction Thunder Dragon, from his memories of his previous life. In his past life, he had relied on this technique repeatedly to overcome stronger opponents despite being weaker, fighting across different levels.

Therefore, the Destruction Thunder Dragon was his trump card.

The strength Yano Luo displayed at the end, in the eyes of Sun Jin’an and the others, was probably comparable to an invincible Grandmaster below the level of a Heavenly Venerable, also adept at the art of Gu poison, with strange and unpredictable methods.

But to Xu Fan, he didn’t even consider him a human, or to put it more precisely, he regarded him as a test subject, a lab rat used to test just how powerful his current level of the Destruction Thunder Dragon was.

Now the result was clear, with his mid-stage Qi cultivation, using eighty to ninety percent of his Spiritual Energy to deploy the Destruction Thunder Dragon, he could instantly kill any Grandmaster. Even a Martial King, an Ancient Martial Artist in the late stages of Qi cultivation, couldn’t withstand the explosion of power from this technique and would most likely be sent straight to the underworld.

Although the power was already astonishing, it still fell short of Xu Fan’s expectation, hence he couldn’t hide his disappointment.

Fortunately, being able to successfully deploy this technique at the mid-stage of Qi cultivation was somewhat acceptable. He believed that as his cultivation grew, the power of this secret technique would also rise in turn. By then, even the Heavenly Venerables within the ancient martial system might have to concede defeat to this technique.

“This…?”

Chang Muxin watched Xu Fan with a heart full of shock, stuttering in his speech, murmuring, “This is definitely… this is the art of immortals, only an immortal could achieve this.”

Sun Jin’an was stunned for a long moment before he came back to his senses, with a face mixed with surprise and delight.

Sun Lihua regarded Xu Fan as a god, wishing nothing more than for Xu Fan to be a deity descended to earth so he could worship him day and night, offering prayers and blessings.

The protector bruisers of the Qingyun Sect were indescribably shaken, each of them standing dumbfounded as if turned to wood, feeling both awe and gratitude in their hearts.

A gentle night breeze blew past.

Everyone slowly regained their senses from their stupor, as if waking from another lifetime.

If not for the sight of the scorched pit steaming with black smoke ahead, they might have thought the whole thing had been a dream.

The crescent moon hanging in the night sky still cast its serene glow.

After recovering a bit, Xu Fan began to “clean up the aftermath.”

First, he helped Elder Sun sit up; he had used a secret technique in time to seal the Gu poison, which had been halted at the shoulder blade, otherwise, Elder Sun would have been doomed by now.

Gu poison has an interesting characteristic: the life of the person who cast the Gu is linked with the Gu insect. Now that Yano Luo has perished soul and body, the Gu he placed in others has also lost its effect.

Sun Jin’an and Chang Muxin suddenly felt much better, their complexions returned to normal, and the black line slowly withdrew, eventually disappearing at the base of their palms.

However, the damage to the eyes and vocal cords caused by Goat’s physical force was irreversible and could not be healed.

But surviving by sheer luck was already fortunate enough, and surely Sun Lihua would generously compensate and take great care of him and his family.

With gratitude, Sun Jin’an stepped forward and clasped his fists, “Xu Fan, without you, the Sun Family might have been wiped out, thank you!”

Xu Fan waved his hand and replied with a light smile, “Elder Sun should focus on recuperating for now. Although the Gu has gone dormant with Yano Luo’s death, the outbreak still caused significant harm to your body, and you must heal and recover.”

After saying this, Xu Fan went behind Sun Jin’an, placed his hand on his back, and transferred True Qi into him to aid his recovery.

“Xu Fan, are you sure you’re alright? I saw that you expended a lot too…” Sun Jin’an felt uneasy and turned around to stop him.

Xu Fan replied calmly, “I’m fine, don’t move, just cooperate with my treatment.”

Hearing this, Sun Jin’an said no more, circulating the True Qi within his body to aid his recovery.

After observing for a while and seeing Sun Jin’an’s improving complexion, Sun Lihua felt reassured. He then went to the deep pit to examine it carefully.

The pit resembled one created by a bomb, its surface completely charred, with wisps of black smoke still emanating from it, leaving no trace of Yano Luo’s flesh and blood.

He was finally convinced that Yano Luo was dead with no remains left.

Suddenly, he spotted something unusual in a hidden spot which he couldn’t see clearly by the moonlight.

After a moment’s consideration, he leapt down and reached toward the object, which turned out to be bamboo slips.

Li Hua held them in his hand and examined them closely. The bamboo slips were ancient and icy-cold to the touch, suggesting they were from a time long past. He squinted and could barely make out four characters.

“Thunder Mastery Technique.”

Li Hua was momentarily stunned, then joy spread across his eyebrows. Although Yano Luo was killed in an instant by Xu Fan, it only showed that Xu Fan was excessively powerful, not that Yano Luo was weak.
