Peerless War God

"No more."    

" Alright, let's begin. "    

As soon as the Thunder Soul finished speaking, the thunder beast that was originally lying on the ground seemed to have received some sort of guidance. It slowly opened its eyes, and its gaze was like a bolt of lightning as it furiously roared.    

Thunder rumbled as it tore through the air. In an instant, the entire sealed space was filled with thunder and lightning, as if it were within the Thunder Dominion.    

"This is the Thunder Dominion? What a powerful pressure. No wonder. "    

Chen Xiao was startled at first, but he quickly calmed down. He secretly circulated the power of thunder to offset this pressure.    

This lightning pressure was exactly the same as what he had encountered in the first stage.    

If an ordinary cultivator were to encounter this attack, he would immediately be suppressed. He might not even be able to exert fifty percent of his full strength.    

Fortunately, Chen Xiao had already adapted to it in advance in the first stage.    

Furthermore, after he circulated the mysterious lightning elemental energy diagram, the suppressive force instantly dissipated by more than half, and he was like a fish in water.    

"ROAR!"    

Before he could investigate further, the next moment, the lightning beast's attack was like a shadow, pouncing towards Chen Xiao like a hungry wolf. The lightning beast raised its huge claw and slashed at Chen Xiao.    

"Chi!"    

Five purple cracks appeared in the air, containing the terrifying power to tear apart everything.    

"Lightning Shield."    

Chen Xiao didn't dare to take the attack head-on, so he raised his shield to block the attack.    

"Boom!"    

A loud sound was heard. Chen Xiao was sent flying. He was hit hard on the wall and fell down again.    

Dammit! What a ferocious claw! No matter if it was his strength or his control of lightning, it had reached a terrifying level.    

He didn't even have the chance to react, so he could only block it. Fortunately, he had condensed the Tribulation Immortal Bone and the Thunder King Armor, so his injuries weren't serious.    

In the next moment, Chen Xiao got up from the ground with the Profound Plume Sword in his hand. Before he could prepare himself, the lightning beast's attack had arrived.    

It was still a claw attack. It was a very simple strike, but it contained boundless killing intent.    

"Chi!"    

The air was torn apart, and the cutting force erupted.    

Chen Xiao raised his shield to block. Puchi! The runes on the lightning shield were destroyed one by one, and he was sent flying once again, crashing into the wall.    

But this time, Chen Xiao finally had the chance to circulate his magic power and form a protective qi barrier to defend himself.    

As a result, his injuries were much lighter, but he also vomited blood.    

Very quickly, Chen Xiao got up. His eyes were filled with fighting intent, and he didn't have the slightest intention of admitting defeat.    

He could see that it was just as the Thunder Soul had said. This unknown thunder beast in front of him only had the strength of a late Tribulation Immortal, and it was the same as him.    

Although their cultivation realms were the same, their combat strength was vastly different. Whether it was the strength of the beast's body or the control of the lightning essence, it was far above Chen Xiao's.    

So, was this trial a test of his combat skills? Chen Xiao seemed to have understood something.    

"Again!"    

"Roar ~ ~!!"    

As if provoked by Chen Xiao's action, the thunder beast began to get angry. Seeing this, Chen Xiao smiled bitterly.    

"Don't, big brother, don't get angry. I was just saying it."    

However, the thunder beast didn't like this kind of trick. Chen Xiao even suspected that the opponent most likely didn't understand human language and only knew the size of a fist.    

The thunder beast began to exert its strength. It pounced, and then struck out with its claw.    

The entire process was incomparably swift and fierce, faster than lightning, and even faster. It did not give Chen Xiao any chance to react.    

"Pa!"    

The next moment, Chen Xiao was sent flying once again. He crashed into the wall, and a large amount of blood splashed out. It was as if he had just slapped a mosquito to death.    

His appearance looked a bit miserable. His entire body was covered in blood.    

Every time he was sent flying, Chen Xiao's injuries would be even more severe, each time heavier than the last. But this time, he actually got up faster than the previous two times. His eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of vigor.    

Chen Xiao, who was covered in blood, laughed loudly, "I understand now. The true strength of this lightning beast isn't its claw attack, but the technique it used."    

It was like when the two of them were fighting, the judge shouted for the start before he could attack.    

In this kind of fair situation, the lightning beast would always attack faster than you.    

If you were one step faster, you would always be faster. As the opponent, besides defending passively, there was no other way, just like the current situation of Chen Xiao.    

Under such circumstances, the only thing you could do was to clearly see how the opponent attacked.    

"Open your eyes wide. This time, you must see it clearly."    

Chen Xiao rubbed his eyes and stared at the lightning beast.    

"Roar!"    

The next moment, the lightning beast moved. The lightning energy on its body started to wrap around its body like silver snakes dancing. Suddenly, as if it had received an order, it gathered towards its four limbs like a flood and exploded.    

"BANG!"    

Chen Xiao was sent flying once again. This time, he staggered a few times in the air and leaned against the wall. Before he hit the wall, he was only a little bit away from hitting the wall. He stopped in a dangerous manner and stabilized his body.    

It was not that the thunder beast's attack had become weaker, but that Chen Xiao had reacted and retreated a step earlier. This claw did not hit the actual spot.    

Seeing this, the thunder beast paused on the spot as if it was somewhat puzzled.    

It had clearly hit Chen Xiao with its claw, but it didn't cause any damage as expected.    

In front of the wall, Chen Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the thunder beast fiercely, and said, "Now, it's my turn."    

"Roar!"    

The thunder beast sensed the fierce look in Chen Xiao's eyes. It took the initiative to attack. Lightning flashed on its body and suddenly gathered on its four limbs. It rushed towards Chen Xiao.    

"Again? The same technique is not that useful to me. Hmph." Chen Xiao let out an angry laugh.    

Before he could finish his words, the lightning beast's claw slashed down.    

Chen Xiao saw the opportunity and with a flash of lightning under his feet, he slid to the side. He used the lightning shield in his hand to block the claw, and with a swing of his sword, he struck the lightning beast in front of its chest.    

"Puchi!"    

A huge wound appeared, but there was no blood flowing out. Instead, it was dark, like mud or a zombie, emitting a strange smell.    

"What is this? Is it a puppet?" Chen Xiao was shocked when he saw this.    

Sure enough, this island was full of strange things. Even this thunder beast wasn't real.    

After being injured, the thunder beast roared angrily and bit towards Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao calmly took a step back, and a strong flame burst out from his left hand.    

"Green Flame Explosion!"    

"Boom!!"    

The blue-golden flame exploded in the thunder beast's mouth, causing the entire mouth of the thunder beast to burst open and its head to be burnt.    

After suffering such a heavy injury, logically speaking, it should have died. However, the thunder beast did not fall down. Instead, lightning gathered and a destructive aura spread out.    

Chen Xiao's expression changed dramatically when he saw this.    

"Dammit! It can even self-destruct?! What a sinister technique!"    

Chen Xiao's heart was filled with hatred. He had never thought that the lightning beast would be so difficult to deal with. He coldly harrumphed.    

"Then let's try it out. Is it faster for you to self-destruct, or is it faster for my sword? Chop! Break!"
