Chapter 89: Seizing the Thunder Source — The True Opportunist!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
From the depths of the silent forest, a deafening thunderclap suddenly erupted!
High above in the sky, layers of thunderclouds rapidly formed, rolling and surging ominously.
The source of this phenomenon was none other than the mountain where the Thunder Source Crystal Beast resided.
—
Lin Dong's eyes widened in surprise.
"That beast can actually summon thunder? That's incredible!"
"It's breaking through…" Little Marten perched on Lin Dong's shoulder, eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Lin Fan chuckled. "Looks like the Liu family is making their move."
Turning his gaze toward the Liu family's encampment, Lin Dong could see multiple powerful auras flaring to life.
Silhouettes soared above the treetops, all staring eagerly at the roiling thunderclouds overhead.
—
As the clouds churned more violently, a piercing roar burst from within the mountain!
It was a sound that combined a lion's roar with thunder's boom, spreading far and wide across the land.
More and more roars echoed out, and the thunderclouds above grew even more manic, unleashing streaks of lightning that blasted craters across the vast forest.
Boom!
Another thunderbolt fell—and from the mountain, the Thunder Source Crystal Beast shot up into the sky like a silver comet, piercing into the very heart of the thunderclouds!
"There it is! The Thunder Source Crystal Beast!"
The Liu family members cried out, eyes full of excitement.
—
The storm of lightning became a heavenly trial, striking the beast again and again as it hovered in the sky.
With each blast, the Thunder Source Crystal Beast howled in agony.
All around, beasts cowered in fear—only the strongest dared resist the natural terror of thunder.
Finally, after enduring the final bolt, the Thunder Source Crystal Beast fell from the sky and crashed into the forest below!
The resulting shockwave leveled trees for hundreds of meters—even the ground trembled.
—
"Such terrifying thunder..." Lin Dong swallowed nervously. "I wonder if it survived."
Qingtan looked toward the massive crater.
"Could it have been killed?"
"No," Lin Fan said calmly. "It's still alive."
Sure enough, the Thunder Source Crystal Beast rose slowly from the pit, hovering in the air with a defiant roar!
Its shattered crystal armor began to reform—even more radiant and resilient than before.
It had successfully broken through!
—
"Formation!"
At that moment, Liu Kui barked an order.
The Liu family experts moved swiftly into position, forming a basic formation.
Streams of Yuan Power coiled into glowing ropes, rapidly binding the beast.
Roar!
Enraged by the ambush so soon after its breakthrough, the beast howled and unleashed a shockwave of lightning, breaking free instantly!
Bang!
Just as it broke free, Liu Kui charged in with his broadsword gleaming, launching a relentless assault of blade strikes toward the still-weakened beast.
—
In its prime, the Thunder Source Crystal Beast could have easily crushed someone of Liu Kui's level.
But fresh from its breakthrough and in a weakened state, it was struggling to keep up.
The battle between man and beast raged across the sky. With each strike, the cracks left by the lightning on the beast's armor grew deeper.
—
The intense clash lasted over half an hour.
The beast was covered in wounds, its aura growing weaker.
Though Liu Kui was also injured, he held the upper hand.
One final blow shattered part of the beast's crystal armor, and silver blood began to flow from its wounds.
Roar!
Driven mad by pain, the Thunder Source Crystal Beast opened its jaws and spat out a glowing orb the size of a human head—a brilliant mass of lightning!
—
"Thunder Source!"
The moment it appeared, Little Marten cried out from Lin Dong's shoulder.
Liu Kui's eyes also lit up with greed.
With a roar, he formed a giant Yuan Power hand and lunged for the Thunder Source!
—
Boom!
But just as the hand closed in, the Thunder Source began to tremble violently—releasing a shockwave that obliterated the Yuan Power hand, then smashed into Liu Kui's chest!
Pfft!
Liu Kui spat out blood, flying backward in a tattered arc!
At the same time, he managed to fire a final palm strike that struck the beast, causing it to crash to the ground—blood pouring from its body.
Now, the only thing hovering in the sky was the Thunder Source, glowing brilliantly and radiating fierce lightning.
—
"Grab the Thunder Source!"
The Liu family erupted with shouts and cast Yuan Power ropes toward it.
Shhh!
But at that critical moment, an invisible blade sliced through the air, severing all the ropes!
Then, a figure flew out—riding a longsword, appearing before the Thunder Source and grabbing it with one hand.
It was none other than Lin Fan, who had been waiting all along!
—
"You're courting death!"
"Hand over the Thunder Source!"
The Liu family exploded in rage.
Lin Fan simply smiled. "Thanks for the gift. Goodbye!"
Without missing a beat, he turned and flew away with the Thunder Source in hand.
—
"After him! Take it back at all costs!"
Liu Kui roared furiously, leading the Liu family in hot pursuit.
