Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Grasping Lightning with Hand_1
Sun Lihua was stunned, somewhat unwilling to believe Elder Sun’s words.
“Run now!” Sun Jin’an forcefully pried his grandson’s hand off.
Yano Luo had already floated up, not planning to give others a chance to escape. His palms whirled nimbly, easily driving back several protectors of the Qingyun Sect.
With no way out, Sun Lihua no longer cared and, carrying a steel knife, charged at Yano Luo. The blade swept through the air, aiming to slash at the latter’s neck.
But they saw Yano Luo, with a pinch of his two fingers, firmly clamped onto the hefty steel knife. Surprisingly, his withered fingers possessed astonishing strength.
“This!”
Sun Lihua broke out in a cold sweat and added his left hand to grasp the hilt of the knife as well, exerting force together. Yet Yano Luo held it tightly, causing all his strength to vanish without a trace.
“Hehe~”
Yano Luo let out a sinister, cold laugh as he twisted his fingers, and with a crisp snap, the clamped steel knife was forcibly broken. With a flick, the severed half of the knife blade fell to the ground.
Immediately after, Yano Luo moved swiftly to Sun Lihua’s side, grabbed him by the throat, and lifted him into the air.
“Li Hua!”
Seeing this, Sun Jin’an went mad with desperation and screamed out loud.
Yano Luo, with a cold laugh, kicked Sun Jin’an away and said gloomily, “Sun Jin’an, let your grandson go first. The pain and sorrow of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired one seems to make my revenge all the more interesting.”
Sun Lihua, however, showed no fear. His gaze fiercely locked onto him, wishing desperately to tear him limb from limb.
Even in death, he would not lose his spirit!
Yano Luo despised his expression, his eyes filled with a murderous intent, and was about to crush Sun Lihua’s throat with a squeeze.
However, a sonic boom whistled through the air at high speed, streaking towards Yano Luo like lightning from a distance.
Sensing the terrifying speed and alarming energy of the object cutting through the air, Yano Luo was shocked and quickly let go, retreating swiftly to dodge it.
After that, his gaze darkened as he looked towards the distant darkness.
Sun Jin’an and his grandson Sun Lihua as well as Chang Muxin all turned their attention in that direction.
Then, a figure emerged from the darkness; it was Xu Fan, who had arrived with great haste.
“Xu Fan, my friend, don’t come over, he has been waiting for you.” Upon recognizing the newcomer, Sun Jin’an’s complexion changed, and he immediately warned loudly.
“Hmph, you’ve already come; thinking of leaving? It’s already too late!”
Yano Luo stared at Xu Fan, slightly surprised by the latter’s youth, and pondered, “Was it you who broke the Gu and exorcised the evil I cast?”
Xu Fan ignored his words. He arrived next to Sun Jin’an and Chang Muxin, applying a secret technique to their acupoints, infusing Spiritual Energy to temporarily seal the outbreak of the Gu poison.
Seeing Xu Fan preparing to rise and confront Yano Luo, Sun Jin’an grabbed him and said solemnly, “I’m very grateful that you could come, Xu Fan. But this Yano Luo is very strong, and his Gu-casting methods are secretive and bizarre. I’m not afraid to die, but I don’t want to drag you into this as well.”
Xu Fan’s gaze was filled with calmness. He patted Sun Jin’an’s hand, indicating that he need not worry.
He stood up, looked towards Yano Luo, and spoke calmly, “You’re called Yano Luo?”
Yano Luo, seeing his youth and arrogance, grew furious and barked, “Ignorant brat! Show some damn respect, or I’ll slap you dead. Also, which Miao village do you hail from? Didn’t your elders teach you that you can’t just go around removing gu for others?”
“Enough babbling!”
Xu Fan let out a cold shout, unceremoniously spoke, “I’ll give you a chance, kneel down and submit to my judgment, and because you are here for revenge, I’ll spare your life and let you make amends. Otherwise, if I make a move, I will ensure you die with no resting place for your body, without reincarnation.”
“I have to say, lad, you really are arrogant. You’re dead meat!”
Yano Luo was enraged, his face filled with murderous intent, and his aura surged wildly. A cyclone formed around him, rotating rapidly, while gusts of wind roared out.
“You… you’re a Grandmaster?”
Sun Jin’an was shocked, staring at the unleashed aura of Yano Luo and exclaimed in alarm.
Chang Muxin, witnessing this, felt even more desperate, convinced that his own death was certain.
Even at his peak, displaying the full strength of the Qi Drawing Realm, he was nothing in front of a Grandmaster.
“Jejeje~”
Yano Luo laughed heartily, yet the laughter was still ghastly and piercing. His True Qi vibrated, and his black cloak burst into countless pieces, revealing a skinny monkey-like body beneath the tattered cloth.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yano Luo looked at Xu Fan with a grim expression, laughing wildly, “Lad, originally I intended to spare your life, for being a fellow Miao Gu practitioner, and cripple your cultivation instead. But you’re so arrogant, even thinking about killing me. Thus, not only will I kill you, but I will also make you suffer to the extreme. In my Worm Pit, you’ll be torn apart and consumed, becoming nutrient for my gu. Of course, the greatest use of you will be to carve into a human stick for cultivating my gu. Jejeje…”
“What a load of crap, just make your move quickly, I don’t have time for a dialogue with you.” Xu Fan said, clearly impatient.
Yano Luo paused, surprised and puzzled by Xu Fan’s response; even after showing such an oppressively ruthless stance, he still couldn’t intimidate the young man. It’s true what they say – the calf doesn’t fear the tiger.
Yano Luo nodded and sneered, “Since you’re so eager to seek death, I’ll oblige. I thought you were brave and wise beyond your years, but it turns out you’re just arrogant and self-important. Very well, I’ll let you understand that just because you’ve become a Grandmaster, it doesn’t mean you can do as you please. Come, witness my Ancient Divine Art.”
Finished speaking, Yano Luo began to form signs with his hands swiftly. The True Qi inside his body circulated mysteriously and violently. His hands suddenly rubbed together in the air, producing a bright white electric light, accompanied by the sizzle of electricity, instantly illuminating the surroundings as if it were daylight.
And more astonishing, Yano Luo caught the white lightning with his bare hands as if catching a snake.
Seeing this spectacle, Sun Jin’an, Chang Muxin, and others were speechless and shocked, their hearts stirred as if by a tsunami or hurricane.
Catching lightning with his hands, was this man even human? Calling him a deity wouldn’t be too far-fetched at all.
However, there wasn’t a single trace of disturbance on Xu Fan’s face.
Yano Luo, not without showing off, looked at Xu Fan and laughed wildly, “Lad, so what if you’re a Grandmaster? Can you compete with the Ancient Divine Art, the Thunder Mastery Technique, that I obtained from an ancient tomb? You should know that upon becoming a Grandmaster, I used this divine technique to kill a mid-stage Ancient Martial Artist.”
“Now do you understand why Sun Jin’an warned you not to come? Because he’s an old fox who sees through everything. He knew I was laying a trap, and although he didn’t understand why I was so confident, he knew my nature well enough to know I wouldn’t take undue risks. Therefore, today you are doomed to a tragic end, even if you were a Martial King. With the Thunder Mastery Technique, I am invincible under Heaven.”
“Of course, you should feel honored, after all, you’re defeated by an Ancient Divine Art.”
With that, Yano Luo lifted the white lightning, using it as a whip, and lashed it towards Xu Fan.
The move might have been simple, but the white lightning held immense force, unstoppable.
“Xu Fan, my friend, I have wronged you.”
Sun Jin’an closed his eyes in despair, tears seeping through his lids.
Yano Luo’s methods had surpassed his understanding of what an Ancient Martial Artist could do.
