A deafening dragon's cry reverberated throughout the space as Yun Lintian punched out. A virtual fire dragon appeared around his arm, opening its mouth wide, aiming to swallow Hei Lei.
Hei Lei snorted coldly and released a black lightning cage to protect himself.
The exchange of a single blow from the two of them immediately forced them to retreat to the distance.
Yun Lintian stabilized himself and looked at the black lightning cage around Hei Lei with a frown. He had exerted more than eighty percent of his strength into the previous punch, but it was entirely blocked by that lightning cage. It could be seen how terrifying its defense was.
Meanwhile, Hei Lei was surprised inwardly. Although he had successfully blocked Yun Lintian's punch, his internal organs were almost turned upside down by the impact. The consequence would be severe if he didn't conjure the black lightning cage in time.
"As expected from someone that got into my Master's eyes. You are abnormal indeed." Hei Lei grinned coldly. "I want to see what secrets are hiding in your body."
As his voice fell, several thick lightning bolts immediately struck Yun Lintian. Everything happened in a split second, and Hei Lei was confident it was impossible for Yun Lintian to avoid it.
In that instant, golden lightning sparks abruptly burst out of Yun Lintian's body and entirely blocked the incoming black lightning bolts.
With The Thunder in his body plus the second level of the Primordial Beyond Heaven Scripture, Yun Lintian's resistance to the lightning element was almost as high as a hundred percent. All he had to deal with was the impact that came from the attack.
One after another. The black lightning bolts continued to bombard Yun Lintian endlessly.
Hei Lei looked at the scene with a cold smile. His heart was full of disdain. In the end, the gap between the Monarch Profound Realm and the Ruler Profound Realm was there. No matter how powerful Yun Lintian was, Hei Lei didn't think Yun Lintian could possibly fight him head-on.
However, Hei Lei's expression immediately changed upon perceiving Yun Lintian's vital signs had never declined in the slightest. It was as though nothing had happened to him.
Suddenly, a golden lightning streak arced through the sky, scattering all the black lightning bolts away before transforming into a sea of golden lightning and raining down on Hei Lei.
Hei Lei's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this scene. Although he knew Yun Lintian was proficient in the lightning element, he didn't expect it to reach this extent. With his abundant experiences, he could see at a glance that Yun Lintian's proficiency was much higher than his.
Without thinking further, Hei Lei retreated with explosive speed, vanishing from his original location to someplace extremely far away.
Unfortunately, his speed was much slower than the sea of lightning. In the next moment, he was enveloped by the dense golden lightning. The destructive energies within it flowed right into his body, ravaging it from the inside out.
Hei Lei had an extremely ugly expression on his face as he released his Abyssal Energy to fend off the golden lightning. He was so furious that no matter how hard he tried to slap the golden lightning away, the energy within them seemed to be endless. He felt like he was riding a wooden board under a tsunami.
Yun Lintian didn't let this chance go. The White Dragon Spear appeared in his hand, and his figure flashed before arriving behind Hei Lei. A golden lightning dragon appeared coiling around the spear as Yun Lintian ruthlessly thrust forward with all his might.
Hei Lei perceived a crisis coming from behind. He didn't hesitate to take out a demonic drum and swiftly smashed it.
A humming noise resounded, and time seemed to freeze for a split second. In that instant, a terrifying Abyssal Energy erupted within Hei Lei's body and burst outward, sending Yun Lintian and the golden lightning around him away.
"You forced me to do this!" Hei Lei spat out a mouthful of blood and lifted his fist to smash down on the demonic drum.
Countless black lightning bolts fell from the sky and madly bombarded Yun Lintian, who was spinning in the air.
Blood spurted out all over Yun Lintian's body as his skin started to turn charcoal. He groaned in pain and hurriedly released lightning sparks to defend himself before safely landing on the ground.
"Big Brother Yun!" Linlin shouted anxiously and was about to release her power. However, she heard Yun Lintian's voice. "Don't. Let me face this alone."
Linlin forced herself down and carefully looked at the wounds on Yun Lintian's body. She then heaved a sigh of relief after confirming the wounds were not severe.
Yun Lintian stared at the demonic drum in Hei Lei's hand with a frown. The humming sound from it wasn't only enhancing the lightning bolt's power but also directly harming his soul. This was the first time he faced this kind of artifact.
"Die!" Hei Lei furiously hit the drum, producing a humming noise that could penetrate Yun Lintian's soul. At the same time, countless black lightning bolts continued to fall upon Yun Lintian's head.
Yun Lintian felt his soul-shaking uncontrollably. He tried to focus on defense, but it was tough for him to control his power correctly in this state.
What should I do?… Yun Lintian gritted his teeth while trying his best to fend off the massive lightning bolts.
Certainly, he could summon the Beyond Heaven King's Crown and take control over the lightning element in this space, but he didn't want to expose it to Hei Lei. After all, he wasn't sure whether Hei Lei had a special means to send the information back to his Master.
Seeing the injuries on Yun Lintian's body growing increasingly, a sneer appeared on Hei Lei's face as he poured more Abyssal Energy into the drum.
As the lightning bolts grew intense, an idea suddenly flashed across Yun Lintian's mind… That's right! I have that!
Yun Lintian's mind moved, and a bottle gourd silently appeared in his hand. It was the bottle gourd he got from Ding Yang a long time ago.
