Chapter 720 - The Swordsman Interferes, the Rare Phenomenon of the Tribulation
Qin Nan came to a halt. His eyes emitted a sharp gaze.
“Qin Nan!” Progenitor Wen Dao gazed downward and said with a mocking voice, “Do you seriously have no idea that the Four Great Factions each have Thunderous Spiritual Beasts specifically used to direct the force of the Tribulation away from their disciples? And you’re planning to destroy us with the force of the Tribulation? How naive!”
The Sky-Scorching Emperor and his crew let out wry smiles. If they were aware of Qin Nan’s plan, they would surely have stopped him.
“HAHAHA!”
“This Qin Nan is so funny.”
“How could he not know about the existence of the Thunderous Spiritual Beast!”
The other disciples burst out laughing.
As everyone knew, the power of the Tribulation that each cultivator triggered during their breakthrough was extremely outstanding. As such, in order to prevent enemies from abusing the power of their Tribulations, the Four Great Factions had invested their time in nurturing a type of beast known as the Thunderous Spiritual Beast.
Although the Thunderous Spiritual Beasts did not possess powerful strength, it was capable of absorbing the force of the Tribulation, regardless of the Tribulation’s strength.
The Four Great Factions each had three Thunderous Spiritual Beasts in their possession!
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
Three shocking roars could be heard coming from the thirty-six snowy mountains.
Following this, three beasts that looked like tigers with lightning sparks covering their bodies sprang into the sky. Their bloodshot eyes emitted shocking thunderous glows.
Whoos.h.!.+
The three Thunderous Spiritual Beasts immediately charged into the distance.
As expected, the Tribulation acc.u.mulating above the Heavenly Celestial Formation slowly floated in the direction of the Thunderous Spiritual Beasts as if they were being summoned away.
Together with the Tribulation, Qin Nan’s Martial Highness Crystal was dragged away too!
“What the h.e.l.l! These three a.s.sholes dare to act so scornfully in front of their Grandpa Long!” Longhu became enraged and uttered a roar as if his dignity was at stake. He transformed into his true form—consisting of a dragon head and a tiger body—and stepped forward. However, he soon realized that the three beasts possessed cultivations of the peak Martial Highness Realm, thus he was no match against them.
However, at that instant, Qin Nan uttered a roar.
“What are you waiting for?”
BANG!
Following his roar, a brilliant sword intent burst out and turned into a beam of lightning, killing the three Thunderous Spiritual Beasts instantly!
A rain of blood poured down from above.
The one attacking was none other than the Blind Swordsman.
“I’ve done my part. When the time comes, you should keep your promise.”
The Blind Swordsman said expressionlessly, as if what he had done was nothing significant.
The scene took place so quickly that no one managed to react in time. When the crowd finally collected their thoughts, they were left in awe.
What had just happened!
Did the Blind Swordsman of the Dao-Seeking Mountain just help Qin Nan by killing the three Thunderous Spiritual Beasts?
Progenitor Wen Dao and the Wendao Elders were stupefied as well. As they recovered from the shock, their faces were filled with fury as they roared, “Blind Swordsman! You dare betray the Dao-Seeking Mountain! For heaven’s sake! How could you do that!”
Anyone would be infuriated after being betrayed.
Not to mention that the Blind Swordsman was highly respected by the people of the Dao-Seeking Mountain!
The Blind Swordsman wore a calm expression.
For him, the Dao-Seeking Mountain in his heart had already been gone three hundred years ago, thus he did not feel any hint of guilt.
“Progenitor Wen Dao, skip the nonsense! Thunderous Spiritual Beasts, right? Now, I’ll show you the power of my Tribulation!”
Qin Nan let out a roar as his figure sprang into the sky and arrived above the Heavenly Celestial Formation.
Rumble!
The Tribulation expanded rapidly, summoning stormy clouds that covered a huge area.
Ten thousand li!
Twenty thousand li!
Thirty thousand li!
The strength of the Tribulation grew stronger at a rapid pace, like a beast going berserk.
“So what if we’ve lost the Thunderous Spiritual Beasts! Qin Nan, you’re quite impressive with your little tricks! However, do you seriously think your Tribulation can match the strength of the Heavenly Celestial Formation——” Progenitor Wen Dao spoke with a contorted face with green veins surfacing on his forehead. He was extremely infuriated by the scene that had just taken place. Words could not describe his anger!
Only by killing all his enemies today would he be able to release his anger!
The Sky-Scorching Emperor, the Blood-Winged Vermilion Bird, and the rest had blank expressions on their faces. As they collected their thoughts, their eyes flickered with excitement. Nice move Duan Qing, to ally with the Blind Swordsman beforehand!
No wonder he had the guts to challenge the Dao-Seeking Mountain!
Despite that, just as Progenitor Wen Dao had mentioned, the power of the Heavenly Celestial Formation was extremely terrifying. It would be extremely difficult to surpa.s.s its strength with the Tribulation.
Even the power of Tang Qingshan’s Tribulation was not enough to destroy the Heavenly Celestial Formation!
“Qin Nan…”
The Sky-Scorching Emperor’s crew subconsciously clenched their fists while staring at Qin Nan’s figure in the sky.
Qin Nan’s hair danced wildly.
“So you still think I’m not worthy enough to be your opponent, huh?”
Qin Nan let out a cold grin while glaring at Progenitor Wen Dao and his crew.
Martial Highness Crystal, fully unleashed!
Whoos.h.!.+
The Martial Highness Crystal fired streams of Law-Defying auras into the sky.
Rumble! Rumble!
The Tribulation expanded rapidly as if it had just received some sort of stimulus.
Fifty thousand li!
Seventy thousand li!
In the blink of an eye, the area it covered had reached a hundred thousand li!
The Martial Highness Crystal shuddered violently as a tremendous aura was unleashed, as if it were trying to tell the Tribulation, Hey idiot, are you planning to handle me with such a weak Tribulation?
Not surprisingly, the Tribulation became ‘enraged’.
BANG!
The stormy clouds suddenly dispersed as the Tribulation transformed into a terrifying thunderous sword, which was similar to the Tribulation that Tang Qingshan had undergone previously!
“The rare phenomenon of the Tribulation!”
Progenitor Wen Dao and the others were startled, before they quickly calmed their thoughts. So what if you were able to trigger the rare phenomenon of the Tribulation? It’s still no match against the Heavenly Celestial Formation!
The crowd of rogue cultivators and authorities inhaled deeply.
As expected of Qin Nan!
Triggering the rare phenomenon of the Tribulation in just the blink of an eye.
“But...it’s still not enough…”
The Sky-Scorching Emperor’s crew could feel their hearts being clenched tightly.
Meanwhile, Qin Nan let out another roar all of a sudden.
The Heaven-Shattering Saber let out a buzz.
A mysterious saber intent was inserted into the Martial Highness Crystal, causing its aura to skyrocket.
The wrath of the Heavens and Earth grew significantly.
BANG!
Following a terrifying explosion, the s.p.a.ce close to Qin Nan crumbled, as a second thunderous sword and a third thunderous sword…… a total of seventeen thunderous swords appeared from the void with their tips aiming at the Martial Highness Crystal. The tremendous power from them was enough to destroy the entire world, let alone the Martial Highness Crystal!
Together with the first thunderous sword, there were eighteen of them!
The Tribulation was eighteen times stronger than Tang Qingshan’s previous Tribulation!
