Su Yun’s eyes were as sharp as blades. His pupils reflected the sky full of incoming blood ropes and magical light, while the lightning beneath his feet suddenly surged.
**[Lightning Magic: Fleetfoot]**
The moment it activated, his figure turned into a lavender afterimage, sliding three meters to the side like a phantom.
The blood rope whistled past his Silver Dragon Armor. The blood poison at its tip collided with the alloy, erupting in sizzling sparks and corroding fine scratches onto the surface of the bone plates.
He did not retreat; instead, he lunged forward. His waist sank low, and his arms spread wide like a fully drawn bowstring. The lightning on his fists instantly exploded into light spheres the size of basketballs. Tiny electric snakes were coiled within the thunderlight, illuminating the coldness in his eyes.
**[Lightning Magic: Eight Extremities Fist: Tremor]**
Two blasts of lightning, each the size of a washbasin, roared from his fists like compressed lightning bombs. They slammed into the earth spikes and the blade storm with a sharp, air-tearing screech.
A dull explosion made the earth tremble slightly. The sky full of earth spikes was instantly shattered into fine powder by the lightning, and the kicked-up dust mingled with electric snakes as they darted everywhere.
The blade storm overhead was forcibly torn into scattered wind blades. The pale green blades lost their cohesive force and struck the surrounding tree trunks, leaving behind a dense cluster of deep scars.
Using the recoil, Su Yun’s figure suddenly leaped up. His legs bent like bows, and the lightning at his knees expanded into translucent light shields. He kicked down with the force of a thousand pounds toward the pus-covered mage below.
**[Lightning Magic: Eight Extremities Fist: Peak]**!
The knee slammed heavily into the mage’s chest. Lightning erupted from the point of contact like exploding TNT.
The yellow-green pus on the mage’s body evaporated instantly from the high temperature, turning into a pungent, foul-smelling white mist. His skin turned charred and carbonized at a visible rate. The crisp sound of breaking bones intertwined with a shrill scream.
He flew backward like a broken kite, hitting a rock with a dull thud before collapsing limply.
Su Yun reached out and grabbed the dark green poison mist that had yet to dissipate. The lightning in his palm flared brilliantly, and the poison mist made a sizzling melting sound within the light. It was instantly purified into a wisp of blue smoke and vanished into the air.
“Who else?”
When Su Yun landed, his foot crushed the ground. Cracks spread five meters away, and lavender lightning flowed rapidly along the earth, forcing back two mages who were attempting a sneak attack from the flanks like an electric net.
The dark and fire magic they were condensing was shattered by the pressure of the lightning before it could even form. Their faces turned deathly pale as they retreated repeatedly.
He shook his fists. The lightning on his bone armor remained as brilliant as a blazing sun. Relying on the nearly infinite stamina and mana provided by his Life Magic, every move of his Lightning Magic carried the fury of his peak state.
Seeing his companions fall one after another, the werewolf’s eyes flashed with the madness of the dying. His black mana surged like a volcanic eruption, and his grayish-black fur stood on end like steel needles. The fangs at the corners of his mouth became sharper and longer. Under the nourishment of mana, the wound on his chest healed at a visible rate, even sprouting new granulation tissue.
**[Life Magic: Stillwater Branch: Gluttonous Giant Wolf]**
His body expanded again, reaching four meters in height. His muscles were knotted like small mountains, and half-meter-long black claw-winds condensed on his talons. He lunged toward Su Yun with a sharp, space-tearing howl. A basketball-sized black energy ball erupted from his blood-red maw. Wherever the energy ball passed, the air was corroded, leaving faint black marks.
Su Yun sidestepped like a willow catkin, dodging the energy ball. The black sphere hit the ground, instantly blasting a hole half a meter deep, with black corrosive breath still lingering at the bottom.
Facing the gale of the pouncing werewolf, the lightning on Su Yun’s fists condensed to the limit, actually forming a pair of translucent lightning fist projections. Dragon-shaped patterns flowed over the projections, carrying a pressure akin to an ancient ferocious beast.
**[Lightning Magic: Eight Extremities Fist: Charge]**!
This punch no longer pursued speed, but extreme power and penetration.
The lightning fist projection collided violently with the werewolf’s claws. The black claw-wind was instantly shredded by the lightning, turning into a sky full of black light motes.
The lightning crawled up the werewolf’s arm like maggots on a bone, crazily spreading and tearing open the newly healed wounds. Black blood mixed with lightning dripped down, corroding small smoking pits in the ground.
Su Yun’s wrist suddenly twisted, and his fist forcibly changed direction. Like a drill, it slammed heavily into the werewolf’s chest. The lightning instantly penetrated his thick muscle and bone, exploding from his back in a fountain of broken bone and flesh.
“Awoo!”
The werewolf let out a deafening, miserable shriek. His massive body paused in the air for a moment, the madness in his eyes replaced by the silence of death. Then, he slammed heavily onto the ground, kicking up clouds of dust. After twitching twice, he went completely silent.
A soul bead glowing with a deep green light floated out of his body. Small lightning snakes were still wrapped around it as it rotated slowly. The entry for **[High-Quality Soul Bead: Gluttonous Power]** clearly surfaced:
[Status Window]
Body Strength: +5%
Magic Affinity: +15%
The remaining five mages were completely panicked.
In just five minutes, six people had fallen, including two Level 49 peak Intermediate Mages.
The Witch wearing the midriff-baring outfit turned deathly pale. She gritted her teeth and roared, “Retreat! Run separately! Survive if you can!”
Just as they were about to scatter in different directions, Su Yun had already predicted their movements.
His feet slammed against the ground, and his body broke the sound barrier like a bolt of lightning. Leaving a lavender afterimage, he instantly reached a Level 46 Earth Mage. Extending his arm, the lightning condensed at his elbow formed a sharp blade of light.
**[Lightning Magic: Eight Extremities Fist: Mamba Elbow Strike]**
The lightning elbow slammed heavily into the mage’s back. The earth-yellow mana shield on the mage shattered instantly, turning into a sky full of dirt debris. He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with visceral fragments and collapsed limply. His back was charred black, with small currents of electricity still sizzling and jumping.
Su Yun turned with the momentum, delivering a sweeping kick. The lightning spread along his shin into a half-meter-long light blade, accurately striking another mage’s knee.
With a crisp crack, the kneecap shattered directly. The mage knelt on the ground screaming. Before he could beg for mercy, Su Yun’s fist slammed onto the top of his head. Lightning poured in through the crown, instantly destroying his soul. His body lost its vitality after a few twitches.
Seeing her companions fall one by one, the Witch’s eyes flashed with extreme terror. She turned into a cloud of dense black gas, attempting to flee.
Su Yun sneered. A lightning arrow as thin as a hair condensed at his fingertip, with precise locking runes flowing over it.
**[Lightning Magic: Eight Extremities Fist: Point]**
The lightning arrow hit the black gas with the precision of a meteor. The black gas instantly stagnated, appearing like frozen ink. The Witch’s figure was forced to manifest, her blood magic shield flickering violently like a candle in the wind. Su Yun caught up instantly, pressing his fist against her forehead as lightning was slowly injected.
His voice was cold as frost. “Didn’t you just say you loved hearing the miserable screams of children?”
The Witch’s pupils dilated to the limit. Her mouth opened and closed as she tried to beg for mercy, but she couldn’t make a sound.
The lightning instantly pierced through her skull. Blood mixed with brain matter surged from her seven orifices. Her body slumped down, the terror in her eyes frozen forever.
Seeing the situation turn sour, the last two mages grew desperate. They simultaneously rushed toward Ning Die’s direction.
They wanted to seize Ning Die as a hostage to force Su Yun to compromise.
Su Yun’s gaze suddenly turned cold. The lightning beneath his feet surged to the maximum, and he crossed the ten-meter distance in an instant, standing before Ning Die like a bolt of white lightning.
Although he knew the shield couldn’t be broken, Su Yun still had to put on a show.
After all, that person was still watching.
The Silver Dragon Armor shimmered with a cold luster under the sunlight.
His left hand grabbed a mage’s wrist like an iron pincer. The lightning spread crazily along the opponent’s arm, instantly incinerating his mana meridians. The mage let out a heart-wrenching scream as his entire arm became charred and useless.
His right hand formed a fist, and the lightning condensed into a sharp point that slammed into the other mage’s face. The opponent’s nose bridge collapsed instantly, his eyeballs bulged, and his body fell straight back.
The battlefield finally returned to silence. Only the thick scent of blood, the smell of charred remains, and the ozone scent left by the lightning remained.
Su Yun looked down at the eleven pale gold light orbs floating on the ground. The light orbs drifted toward him one after another.
He raised his hand and swept all the spoils into his pink security bag. Feeling the still-abundant mana in his body and the heavy harvest, a faint but satisfied smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
“Finally, some decent loot.”
After counting the spoils, Su Yun stretched and couldn’t help but start chanting in a very chuunibyou manner.
“The Five Emperors bow in court, the Eight Desolations acknowledge their lord, I am…”
‘Wait, wasn’t someone else standing nearby?’
