Chapter 31: True Lightning Strikes

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qi Chen felt so exhausted that he was about to die.

As an egg, he actually had to be so busy. It’s really too hard on him.

Without a doubt, the land that the agent had stepped on was transformed into His kingdom.

Those who were not His believers would be forced to stay if they walked on the kingdom.

Qi Chen watched as the hands continued to grab at him, dodging with the speed boost from Yellow Flash.

However, Yellow Flash consumed not only spiritual energy, but also stamina.

The hunger brought by a large amount of physical exhaustion spread through his stomach.

It was unbearable for Qi Chen.

Luckily, I have spare food!

He took out the crystal pear from his storage space and swallowed it. At the same time, he activated the jade pendant that Second Aunt had left for him.

As the jade pendant broke, a beam of light shot towards the agent, but it was shattered by the latter’s palm.

Under the rules of the mystic realm, the full-strength attack of a Second Realm expert had been reduced to level ten of the First Realm.

“This is not even as effective as my Shadow Kill.”

Qi Chen couldn’t help but complain.

At least his Shadow Kill could still cause wounds to the agent, but the jade pendant could not even cause any wound.

What the heck?

“The thunderclouds are ready!”

Black Dragon King’s voice sounded.

Hearing this, Qi Chen could not help but feel energized.

He jumped up on the spot and barely dodged the countless arms that were grabbing at him from the ground. After the agent’s palm strike, he once again used the Summon Heavenly Thunder.

This time, apart from the spiritual energy he saved to evacuate, Qi Chen poured out the rest of the spiritual energy in his body.

A beam of light flew out from his body and shot into the clouds in the sky.

The lead-black thunderclouds began to swirl, producing rumbling thunder.

However, the agent had not realized the severity of the problem.

He still continued to grab at Qi Chen.

Qi Chen narrowly dodged the agent’s attack and finally revealed a knowing smile.

Summon Heavenly Thunder was ready.

“Let’s witness the true lightning strikes!”

Qi Chen shouted.

The agent finally realized that something was wrong.

He hurriedly looked up into the sky.

The moment he raised his head, a scorching and dazzling lightning bolt descended from the sky.

It was like heavenly punishment, piercing through heaven and earth.

Enveloping the agent and the territory of the kingdom within it.

Boom—

Lightning struck first, followed by rumbling thunder.

Anyone who heard it would find it deafening.

Qi Chen, who was standing beside the lightning strike, felt his body go numb.

The surging energy spread out from the point of impact, recklessly destroying the surrounding trees.

What the f*ck… It is so powerful?

Qi Chen thought to himself.

Fortunately, I just underwent a f*cking refinement. Otherwise, just the aftershock alone would be enough to roast me into a cooked egg.

Although the lightning strike was powerful, it only lasted for an instant.

After the shockwaves dissipated, Qi Chen looked at the agent who was in the center of the lightning.

The current agent looked very battered and exhausted.

Not only were the pus and blood flowing all over his body dried up by the lightning, his body was scorched black. The territory of the Kingdom of Heaven that was expanded was even turned into nothingness by the lightning.

Only charred remains remained.

“Damn… heretic!”

However, this bolt of lightning that should have been able to annihilate a Third or Fourth Realm expert didn’t completely kill the agent.

The other party could still speak!

“As expected of the agent.” The Black Dragon King’s tired voice was solemn.

“Flesh and blood are just his medium. All his important parts are sustained by the power of faith.”

“But we can’t get rid of this medium at all.” Qi Chen sounded bitter.

If such a powerful thunderbolt couldn’t defeat his opponent, then Qi Chen was truly at his wit’s end.

Right now, not only was his spiritual energy completely exhausted, his body was also extremely hungry.

“One more bolt of lightning will do. One more bolt of lightning of that level will turn this thing into dust.”

Black Dragon King said.

“…”

Qi Chen could guarantee that if the Black Dragon King appeared beside him, he would definitely give him a slap.

What a joke. Let’s not mention how long it would take to gather the thunderclouds, just avoiding the other party’s attack would require a great deal of concentration.

“So what do we do now?”

Qi Chen asked helplessly.

“Run.”

Black Dragon King was also helpless.

“You can only run away before he recovers completely.”

“Didn’t you say that if we don’t get rid of this agent here, the consequences will be severe?”

Qi Chen was surprised.

“So the situation now is, it’s already good enough that you’re still alive. Who still cares about the consequences?”

“…”

Qi Chen was silent.

“You have a point.”

[I say, Host, have you forgotten about my existence?]

After Qi Chen decided to rely on himself to advance, the system, which had already been reduced to a treasure-seeking compass, could not bear it anymore.

If this were to continue, it would feel that it was truly too useless.

He changed his usual business-like attitude and jumped out.

“What the f*ck? Who the f*ck are you?”

Qi Chen was shocked by the system’s words.

One could think about it, if a machine that originally only knew how to say certain things, but one day, it suddenly said that it actually had artificial intelligence.

Anyone would be as surprised as Qi Chen.

[I am the system!]

The system said helplessly.

“Good God. So you can talk.”

Qi Chen was shocked, but now was not the time to care about this.

“Hurry up and say what you have in mind!” Qi Chen hurriedly said.

[In order to show the value of the system, the system had added some new functions.]

[For example, you can use enhancement points to recover spiritual energy!]

When Qi Chen heard this, he opened the status to take a look. Indeed!

A [Store] option appeared on his status.

The items sold in the system store were relatively simple.

For example, the price of 100 points of spiritual energy was 3 enhancement points.

1 point of strength was also sold for 1 enhancement point.

“D*mn, you’re such an unscrupulous businessman!?”

Qi Chen exclaimed.

One had to know that his enhancement point storage limit was 3 points.

And the 100 points of spiritual energy required all 3 enhancement points.

“Forget it, I’ll buy it!”

Qi Chen gritted his teeth and chose to pay.

If the enhancement points were gone, he could still farm again. If he lost his life, he would really be gone.

As the three points of enhancement returned to zero, Qi Chen could clearly feel that the depleted spiritual energy in his body was rapidly recovering!

Meanwhile, the agent nearby was also trying his best to recover from his injuries.

On one side, one was replenishing energy, and on the other side, one was slowly reviving!

Both sides were competing to see who could recover faster and move again!

Whoever was faster would be lifted by the God of Victory!
