Everyone looked up.
On the wall of the Forbidden City stood an old Taoist in a robe.
The old Taoist held a horsetail whisk, his white eyebrows fluttering, exuding an air of immortality. It was none other than the head of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Master Longbrow!
A smile appeared on Ye Qiu’s face. At this critical moment, the unreliable old man had finally shown up.
However, the next second, Ye Qiu’s face darkened.
Master Longbrow stood on the wall, hands behind his back, loudly chanting, “Thunder and lightning, blast away, kill Dragon Two and find a lady. If you ask me how many, never less than two.”
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Dragon Two laughed in anger, believing Master Longbrow was deliberately mocking him. He said coldly, “Longbrow, after I kill Ye Qiu, I’ll slaughter you.”
“Dragon Two, don’t act tough in front of me, or you’ll get struck by lightning,” Master Longbrow replied, then shouted again, “Thunder, come!”
Boom!
Five bucket-thick thunderbolts appeared out of nowhere, crashing towards Dragon Two’s head.
The momentum was terrifying.
Dragon Two remained unfazed, swiftly throwing a punch upwards.
“Boom!”
The five thunderbolts were shattered on the spot, vanishing without a trace.
“Damn!”
Master Longbrow let out a startled cry. Though his blind eyes saw nothing, he could clearly sense Dragon Two’s actions.
“Mere tricks, not worth a hit,” Dragon Two sneered.
“Is that so? I refuse to believe my Five Thunder Technique can’t handle you,” Master Longbrow retorted, enraged. He bit his right middle finger, blood spurting out, and drew a talisman in the air.
In a moment.
An oppressive aura filled the heavens and earth again.
Master Longbrow stepped off the wall, shouting, “Thunder, damn it, kid, save me!”
Thud!
Master Longbrow fell from the wall, crashing onto the ground, instantly bruised and swollen.
Fortunately, he was a master, tough as leather, or a ten-metre fall would have killed him.
His attempt to show off had utterly failed!
The Five Thunder Technique was interrupted.
“Longbrow, since you’ve shown yourself before me, it seems heaven wants you dead. I’ll just have to fulfil heaven’s wish,” Dragon Two said.
He abandoned Ye Qiu and strode towards Master Longbrow.
“Dragon Two, your opponent is me.”
Ye Qiu rushed forward, slashing at Dragon Two’s back.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Dragon Two spun around just as the sword neared, striking out with a palm.
Ye Qiu swiftly dodged, sliding several metres away.
Dragon Two seemed to teleport, appearing instantly before Ye Qiu, his fist aimed at Ye Qiu’s heart.
“Whoosh!”
Ye Qiu, like a great bird, leapt off the ground, narrowly evading Dragon Two’s attack.
“Wudang Cloud Ladder!”
Dragon Two recognised Ye Qiu’s lightness skill, slightly surprised, then sneered, “In the face of superior cultivation, all your tricks are as frail as a paper tiger.”
Ye Qiu ignored him, pointing his sword to the sky.
Instantly, winds roared and clouds surged.
A heart-stopping aura spread across the heavens.
Everyone present felt an intense unease, even a peerless powerhouse like Dragon One couldn’t help but look up at the sky, his expression darkening.
“Heavenly Tribulation!”
Dragon One’s gaze fixed on Ye Qiu, cold light flashing in his eyes.
“This kid has only cultivated three strands of innate true qi. How could he summon a Heavenly Tribulation?”
Above, thick thunderclouds, like a sheet of black silk, enveloped the Forbidden City.
“Dragon Two, didn’t you say that crossing the Heavenly Tribulation would make you an immortal cultivator? Fine, I’ll give you a hand,” Ye Qiu said with a cold smile, then shouted, “Thunder, come!”
Boom!
The rolling thunderclouds seemed to tear apart, a purple thunder dragon diving down.
It illuminated the heavens and earth.
Seeing this, the spectators scattered in panic, “Run…”
Dragon Two felt the might of the Heavenly Tribulation and tried to dodge, unwilling to be caught in it.
Swoosh!
Dragon Two retreated swiftly.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu used a Lightning Talisman, boosting his speed tenfold, blocking Dragon Two’s escape with a single sword.
Looking at Dragon Two, Ye Qiu smiled, “Why run? Don’t you want to become an immortal cultivator? I’m helping you!”
In truth, when Ye Qiu emerged from seclusion, he could have faced the tribulation but had been suppressing it.
His goal was to use the Heavenly Tribulation to kill the masters of the Forbidden City.
Originally, this trump card was meant for Dragon One.
But things had gone awry.
They had underestimated Dragon Two’s strength, forcing Ye Qiu to use it against him.
“Boom!”
The thunder roared down, closing in on Ye Qiu, just ten metres away.
Seeing this, Dragon Two turned to flee.
Ye seksual
System: Ye Qiu held his sword and blocked Dragon Two again, refusing to let him escape.
If Dragon Two got away, the plan would fail completely.
“Boom!”
The thunder struck, sending both Ye Qiu and Dragon Two flying.
Then, a second thunderbolt appeared, striking towards Ye Qiu.
This time, Ye Qiu was even more ruthless, lunging forward and grabbing Dragon Two tightly.
“Get off!”
Dragon Two was shocked and furious, trying to shake Ye Qiu off with ten streams of true qi, but he underestimated Ye Qiu’s resolve.
Ye Qiu’s head spun, blood streaming from his nose and mouth, yet he clung to Dragon Two.
The thunder was about to strike.
In desperation.
Dragon Two fought back.
“No!” Dragon One stood and shouted, but it was too late.
Bang!
Dragon Two punched the thunder.
It dissipated instantly.
“Huh?” Dragon Two froze.
He hadn’t expected his punch to shatter the thunder. It was unbelievable, and a smile spread across his face.
“Kid, looks like your plan to kill me with the Heavenly Tribulation has failed.”
Ye Qiu let go of Dragon Two, smiling, “Dragon Two, you’re such a fool.”
“You’ve cultivated for years, one foot in the door of immortality. Don’t you know the Heavenly Tribulation can’t be challenged?”
“By defying it, you defy the Heavenly Dao, provoking its wrath and summoning even stronger thunder. Now, you have no choice but to face it.”
What?
Dragon Two looked up, his smile frozen.
The thunderclouds roared, and a third thunderbolt descended.
It wasn’t a single bolt anymore but a vast purple sea, endless and terrifying, woven with lightning.
What now?
Dragon Two panicked.
Dragon One’s voice rang out, “Brother, give it everything to face the tribulation. If you survive, you’ll grasp the mysteries of immortality.”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu grew certain that Dragon One was already an immortal cultivator.
The thunder surged like a tide, radiant and overwhelming, like the Milky Way pouring from the heavens or countless stars falling, as if the end of the world had come.
The spectators had long fled, terrified out of their wits.
“No choice but to fight,” Dragon Two muttered, swiftly channelling ten streams of true qi to face the tribulation.
At the same time.
Ye Qiu prepared to face the tribulation as well.
