The purple lightning roared like a raging dragon, filling the entire street in an instant. Jue Wuji's figure was engulfed in an instant!
Zhao Feiyue flew into the air. Although she was not afraid of the lightning flames, she was still shocked by its power.
At this moment, the east gate of Taiyang City had already been engulfed by the lightning flames. All the wooden items in the nearby houses spontaneously combusted. Anything that came into contact with the flames turned pitch-black and crackled with electricity.
Although Li Chengfeng was the culprit, he was also terrified. He knew that if he was hit by the lightning flames, he would immediately turn into ashes, his body and soul destroyed!
When the lightning flames dissipated, Li Chengfeng took a closer look and saw that there was a deep trench in the street. The remaining flames were still burning, emitting a pungent smell. Where Jue Wuji stood, the fearsome devil was nowhere to be seen. Behind him, the East Gate had completely disappeared, leaving behind only the blazing hole. Everything around the city walls was pitch black. Electric currents flowed like waves along with the flames, but they quickly disappeared into the air.
"He's … dead just like that?"
Li Chengfeng was shocked. He could not believe his eyes.
Zhao Feiyue was equally shocked. She quickly released her Yuan Qi to search for Jue Wuji's aura but there was no sign of him.
"The demon died just like that?"
Zhao Feiyue's expression was a little strange. She had hoped that Li Chengfeng could defeat Jue Wuji and shock the world with a single feat, but … this was too ridiculous!
Li Chengfeng turned to look at the lightning flame. With a thought, the lightning flame lowered its head and placed its huge head in front of Li Chengfeng. Although Li Chengfeng was huge, he looked like a tiny speck in front of the lightning flame. He raised his hand to touch the lightning flame's head, only to feel that it was hard and cold.
Clearly, even the soft feathers on the Thunder Flame's head were incomparably hard, like thousand-year-old cold iron. This Thunder Flame had a pair of incomparably sharp eagle eyes, with a hint of purple in them, giving off the aura of a king that looked down on the world.
Li Chengfeng was overjoyed. He patted the Roc's head and suddenly thought of a problem. How was he going to bring this fellow along in the future?
It stood about seven to eight metres tall and had a wingspan of twenty to thirty metres. Li Chengfeng would probably go bankrupt in half a year, not to mention where it would live.
Raising a Golden Eagle and going bankrupt, then what the hell is there to fix?
He smiled bitterly. Feiyue came to his side and whispered, "You can't bring it with you all the time …"
Of course, Li Chengfeng was aware of this point. Otherwise, if he brought such a huge golden-winged roc to the Divine Capital, he would immediately attract intense hostility from the other cultivators. The Cosmos God Cult might even come knocking on his door to 'confiscate' it.
What are you trying to do by bringing such a monster with you in the capital?
Do you want to rebel?
If you don't want to rebel, who will be responsible if you scare the people with such a scary guy?
Furthermore, even if he could bring it along with him because of his relationship with the princess, how was he supposed to raise such a fellow?
Li Chengfeng was a big eater himself. He knew all too well how terrifying a giant of this level could eat!
Even if the princess was willing to subsidize him and he accepted it shamelessly, where would he put such a huge fellow?
Where would it live?
Li Chengfeng smiled bitterly. "But I can't just let it fly away, can I?
That … would be a pity. "
Li Chengfeng was overjoyed. After all, with such a thunder flame, his combat power would be greatly increased!
Feiyue smiled. "The thunder flame is a ferocious beast from the Nine Heavens, you can't keep it. You have to let it soar in the Nine Heavens."
Li Chengfeng was puzzled. "But what if I need to summon it?"
Feiyue said, "If the thunder flame recognizes you as its master, it will be telepathically connected to you. It will not be too far away from you and will hunt for food on its own. When you think a huge battle is about to happen, you can use a magical item to summon it.
And when it arrives, you will sense its presence. "
Li Chengfeng was overjoyed. That's great! Isn't this the perfect example of a powerful and unclingy beast?
Summon it and send it away at will!
Great, great!
But …
"What kind of magical item do I use?" asked Li Chengfeng.
Feiyue smiled helplessly. "I don't know either, usually Jue Wuji carries it with him …"
Li Chengfeng was in trouble. "Jue Wuji?
That's bad … "
Li Chengfeng instinctively looked towards the city gate to see a long, pitch-black tunnel. Although the fire had been extinguished, pungent smoke still rose into the air.
Even if there was a treasure, it would have been burnt to ashes along with Jue Wuji, right?
Li Chengfeng groaned inwardly. It was not easy for him to obtain such a 'treasure', but in the end, he could not control it!
"You stupid bird, why did you use so much strength just now?
Now you're burnt to ashes along with your magical item!
What do you want me to do? "
Li Chengfeng glared at Lei Yan in annoyance, but Lei Yan and Li Chengfeng were telepathically connected. It glanced at Li Chengfeng from the corner of its eye, as if it was disgusted by Li Chengfeng.
Lei Yan's expression made Li Chengfeng laugh. "Oh, you still have a temper?
You … "
Before Li Chengfeng could finish, they heard a round of applause from afar. Li Chengfeng and Feiyue turned to see a man dressed in black robes walking towards the city gate. He looked exactly like Jue Wuji but there was a flash of lightning in the black mist flowing around his hood.
Feiyue was on high alert, her hair standing on end. She came to Li Chengfeng's side and whispered, "That's … the Old Demon Thundercloud!
He's ranked sixth among the top ten demons in the world! "
"What's Jue Wuji's ranking?" asked Li Chengfeng.
Feiyue said, "Tenth …"
"F * ck, he's the weakest demon?" Li Chengfeng's expression was strange.
Feiyue said, "Jue Wuji specializes in group attacks. Under certain circumstances, he's the scariest enemy in the world.
However, if he's not in a specific environment and it's a one-on-one battle, his powers will be greatly reduced.
But the Old Demon Thundercloud is different … "
When Li Chengfeng saw Feiyue acting as if she was facing a formidable enemy, he knew this was a formidable opponent. He would not be completely subdued like Jue Wuji.
You might not meet your natural nemesis even once in your life, let alone twice in a row?
Li Chengfeng stared at the Old Demon Thundercloud and whispered to Feiyue, "Is this guy powerful?"
Feiyue whispered, "Very!
He was a Lightning Tribulation cultivator more than a hundred years ago! "
Li Chengfeng was secretly terrified. He knew too well what a Lightning Tribulation cultivator was!
What was a Lightning Tribulation cultivator?
A Lightning Tribulation cultivator was a Golden Body cultivator who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation. They had the power to break through to the highest realm. Once they passed the tribulation, they would enter the highest realm of the nine heavens: Golden Immortal!
In other words, they had the right to leave the human world and enter the nine heavens, officially becoming immortals!
This meant that a Lightning Tribulation cultivator was an experienced Golden Body cultivator, a reserve Golden Immortal cultivator!
The Old Demon Thundercloud stared at Li Chengfeng and said in a relaxed tone, "I like you!
Because you made that old thing, Jue Wuji, lose all his face!
I've never liked him since a long time ago!
You've done a good job, you've done a good job!
You helped me vent my anger. I, the Old Demon Thundercloud, am a fair person. I can promise you one thing! "
Li Chengfeng was stunned, then overjoyed. "Then you can leave immediately and never come back?"
The Old Demon Thundercloud clicked his tongue. "That won't do, change to something else."
Li Chengfeng thought for a moment. "Then can you let us go, the Crown Prince, and the citizens of this city go?"
The Old Demon Thundercloud rolled up his sleeves and shook his head. "Someone wants the Crown Prince's life and I've already promised.
I, Thundercloud Old Monster, have always kept my word!
I can't agree to this, let's talk about the previous request. "
Li Chengfeng looked at him disdainfully. "Pfft, you can't do this, you can't do that!
Then why did you say you could promise me one thing? "
The Thundercloud Demon clearly admired Li Chengfeng a lot. He was not angry and said slowly, "I can promise you that I will let you live for one more day. However, you cannot leave Taiyang City within that day, or I will kill you immediately!"
Li Chengfeng smirked. "I have a suggestion too!"
The Old Demon Thundercloud said calmly, "Oh?"
Li Chengfeng pointed his middle finger at the Thundercloud Demon. "Why don't you just die?!"
As soon as Li Chengfeng's voice faded, countless black beetles swarmed towards the Thundercloud Demon. At the same time, the giant black rotten branch hand clenched into a fist and punched towards the other side of the Thundercloud Demon.
The Thunder Flame opened its giant mouth and a bolt of purple lightning shot out!
