Chapter 90: Thunder Light Ruler

  Lin Fan was too busy to care about the commotion, when a beautiful and seductive woman appeared standing in mid-air above the sea of flames, holding an erhu and cursing: "Two cow noses, one bald donkey, mind your own business."

  "Who are you?" Lin Fan asked, having never seen him before.

  The woman burst out laughing: "Haha, neither of us knows each other, and yet we're both here joining in the fun."

  Xie Fengzi shouted: "Yu Fenlong, the main road leads to heaven, each of you walk on one side, don't think that your two thousand years of Dao lineage will make me afraid of you."

  "If it were the three of you, I wouldn't have a complete victory." The scorpion demon Yu Fenglong said: "But this monk is already useless, he's already a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, yet still thinking about ferrying people. You two are left, go die!"

  After saying that, he pulled the guqin, and the guqin made a humming sound. Lin Fan and Xie Fengzi didn't see anything, but they were on guard. Suddenly, Xie Fengzi's body flashed, and a strand of hair fell off.

  Yu Feng laughed: "Transform earth into sand!" and began to play. The ground transformed into a desert. Over a dozen sand dragons appeared, roaring as they charged towards the two of them. As they were on guard, over a dozen more sand dragons burst forth from beneath their feet.

  "Sword Formation!" One hundred cold lights flashed, and four sand dragons were killed on the spot. Lin Fan was also hit by a sand dragon and turned into powder. Lin Fan's true body appeared beside Xie Fengzi and said, "Spicy chicken noodles, take action."

  "Mind your own business!" Slanting Wind shouted loudly, his body transforming into a fire dragon as he charged downwards, dispersing one of the sand dragons and landing on the sandy ground. With a full display of his true energy, over a dozen fire dragons charged towards the sand dragons.

  A layer of sand waves a hundred feet high swept over Xie Fengzi, and the sand flew in all directions, sticking to Xie Fengzi's body, trying to trap him. But Xie Fengzi easily broke free from the sand that wrapped around him.

  "Some way to go." Yu Feng nodded: "Then let's start." The sound of the qin changed, and sand particles flew up, shooting towards the two like flying arrows.

  Xie Fengzi took out the gourd from behind his back, poured it downwards, and a layer of flames pressed down, not only neutralizing the sand and soil attack but also forming a ten-zhang-square lava pool on the ground. Xie Fengzi's left foot slowly landed on the lava: "You forced me to use my ultimate move."

  With a wave of his arms, a sword of flame shot up from the lava, followed by a second, third, and in an instant, forty-nine swords of flame hovered around Xie Feng's body.

  "Look at you, just standing there! Take action!" Xie Fengzi was furious.

  "Oh!" Lin Fan pinched his fingers together, and a flying fire meteor came crashing down, followed by a second one, then a third. The Golden Elixir's Nine Lives' True Nature amplified the power of the Imperial Way's Law, making the flying fire meteors' might even more overwhelming.

  Yu Fenglong plucked the vertical zither, and a dozen sand dragons burst out, heading towards the flying fire meteors. Xiang Fengzi's forty-nine fire swords shot out rapidly. A wall of sand rose in front of Yu Fenglong, but the fire sword broke through it, leaving Yu Fenglong somewhat surprised and exclaiming in astonishment. He flew up into the air, and the forty-nine fire swords chased after him at a steady pace.

  Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck Yu Fengdie's body, and Yu Fengdie's whole body was fixed in place. Another bolt of lightning came, just as the fire sword was about to strike, Yu Fengdie's entire body turned into a sandy color, and the fire sword shot through, creating a wave on the sand. Yu Fengdie's true form appeared. Lin Fan exclaimed: "Shape-shifting?"

  Xie Fengzi shook his head and said, "No, this is the Split Body Great Technique. It's a big trouble, this guy can't be killed."

  "What does it mean?" Lin Feng didn't understand.

  "This patch of sandy soil is her incarnation. As long as the sand doesn't disappear, she won't die." Xie Fengzi sneered: "However, she only guards the strong and attacks the weak, so she can't do anything to us."

  Yu Feng's heart was filled with resentment, just as Xie Fengzi had said. She had originally been cultivating in the desolate wilderness, without any intention of harming others or dominating the world. In order to prepare for a possible heavenly calamity in the future, she had cultivated her inner elixir and created this shard of sand as a separate entity, establishing herself in an unbeatable position. Attacking the weak was what she knew how to do; otherwise, she wouldn't have used the vengeful spirits of Lei Yin Temple and the ghostly bride to trap one of the Absolute Colors, concentrating her strength to kill one of them, and laying down a formation to prevent the other two from escaping. Her plans were thorough, but she had not anticipated that Xie Fengzi's cultivation would far exceed what she had expected.

  Lin Fan seemed to be holding back, as his mind was half on Yue Leng. Lin Fan found it strange that according to Yue Leng's greatest interest, since he was in an unbeatable position, he should have attacked and eliminated the weakest link, Yue Se, first. Yue Se was currently exorcising the Ghost Bride, barely suppressing the Scorpion Venom. Once she finished the exorcism and forced out the Scorpion Venom, Yue Leng would be facing a three-on-one situation. Why did Yue Leng give up on attacking Yue Se?

  Yu Fengzi slowly pulled out a ruler from his sleeve, the ruler shining with lightning: "Unfortunately, ten days ago, I found this lightning ruler in the imperial palace treasure house and took it for use."

  "Wait, ten days?" Lin was puzzled: "How to refine it?" If it's a low-grade magic treasure, direct force refining would be fine, but this Thunder Light Ruler is not an ordinary item. On the other hand, if the Thunder Light Ruler were an ordinary magic treasure, you wouldn't be able to increase its damage much either, which would be pointless.

  The Thunder Light Ruler had words written on both sides, Yu Feng didn't respond, silently reciting an incantation for a moment before tossing the ruler into the air. The Thunder Light Ruler floated in mid-air, its light flashing even more dazzlingly, and after a series of crackling sounds, it suddenly expanded to ten zhang in length, and a giant eagle with lightning flashing all over its body burst out from within the Thunder Light Ruler.

  What made Lin Fan and Xie Fengzi puzzled was that the giant statue did not come towards them, but instead rushed towards Yu Fenglong. Yu Fenglong seemed to have been prepared, and his sand dragon flew up, attacking the giant statue. Xie Fengzi said: "Is this the legendary 'moving a stone to hit one's own foot'?"

  A loud whistle, a winged white tiger burst out of the Thunderous Light, from top to bottom, with a fierce momentum, pouncing towards Xiāo Fēng Zǐ. Then, the crimson thunderbird, the one-eyed thunder eagle, and the double-headed thunder snake descended upon them in droves. Yú Fēng Lóng smiled and asked: "I wonder if this can deal with you?"

  Yu Fenglong has already stood on the ground of invincibility, Lin Fan and Xie Fengzi are not good enough. Xie Fengzi immediately transformed into a fire dragon to counterattack Lei Wu, Lin Fan activated his bamboo sword, dodging between Lei Ying and Lei Niao's pincer attack. A flash of lightning struck towards Lin Fan, Lin Fan's heart symbol was activated, shrinking the sky and earth, avoiding this lightning bolt. The lightning finally struck a tree, turning it into ashes at the point of impact. Lin Fan exclaimed: "What kind of treasure is this?" This is much stronger than his own flying fire meteor.

  "This is a treasure of the immortal family, go take it, unowned things, whoever takes it will be theirs."

  "You really have the heart of a snake and a scorpion."

  The lightning grew more and more intense, with frequent thunderbolts striking down. Yu Feng was not dodging or evading, and when he was hit, his true form emerged from the sand and soil. Lin Fan, on the other hand, was getting a bit flustered, trying to avoid the lightning while also fending off the attacks of the Thunderbird and Thunder Eagle. Xie Fengzi was relatively more at ease, as the lightning was repelled by his golden armor, which was reinforced by his true energy that had transformed into a fire dragon, allowing him to disperse the lightning bolts directly. Even if he couldn't disperse them, the lightning would have difficulty penetrating his protective true energy when it struck his body.

  Lin Fan turned back in the midst of his busy schedule, and his heart cried out in alarm. The two-headed thunder snake pounced towards the stunning beauty on the ground. Lin Fan pinched a wooden seal with his fingers, and a tree trunk rose from the sandy soil. The thunder snake crashed into the tree trunk, causing it to explode into two segments that flew away. The thunder snake gave up on the stunning beauty and pounced towards Lin Fan instead.

  It's strange, I've never heard of an unowned treasure being activated like this. But if it has an owner, how could Yu Fengdou activate it? If Yu Fengdou is the master of Leigongchi, why would Leigongchi harm its master?
