Chapter 30

Chaper 30 – The might of the ThunderboltTranslated by Monkillu

During the peaceful night, a sudden pitiful scream of a ferocious tiger and a thundering sound resounded . The billowing sound spreaded several miles away .

Lin Mi was outside of the Solitary Forest . After he heard the abnormal sound, he got up, and looked at the direction of the Solitary Forest: “What was that sound?”

A thundering explosion coming from the forest, as well as the terrified scream of a ferocious tiger made Lin Mi’s heart curious . He took advantage of the night, and proceeded carefully .

He had just entered the forest when Lin Mi heard chatter .

This was… Zi Chen’s voice . Lin Mi’s eyes suddenly lit up . In the dim light of night, he stayed motionless and looked ahead quietly .

A moment later, the sounds came closer and closer . They came from the casual conversation between Zi Chen and the old man .

“It is Zi Chen! It really is Zi Chen . ” Lin Mi gasped . He suppressed the wild joy within his heart, and didn’t even dare to make a sound .

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Lin Mi saw Zi Chen and an old man who was carrying a gourd bottle .

Zi Chen was really here . The Zhen Qi Pill reward is mine now, Zi Chen, many thanks . Because of the excrement throwing, Wang Meng looked at me favorably, and today because of you, I will get one Zhen Qi Pill . He waited a while for Zi Chen to leave . Lin Mi then turned his back and carefully returned .

The old man lived in a small log cabin under the mountain . It was just an ordinary log cabin, nothing special, and the old man was only an ordinary person .

After he stayed for a while, Zi Chen left, and returned up the mountain .

“Little brother, you have to be careful . These last few days there were several people who wore the same clothes as you, and looked like they were searching for something . ” When he was about to leave, the old man suddenly said .

“Thanks uncle, I will pay attention,” Zi Chen smiled .

The old man watched Zi Chen leave with a satisfied smile on his face, then he returned to his log cabin .

……

Lin Mi returned hurriedly, even traveling throughout the night . There was a trace light that appeared on the horizon when he arrived at the Ling Wu sect .

Through some connection, he went straight to the inner sect, and looked for Wang Meng .

“Senior brother Meng, senior brother Meng . ”

In the early morning, Lin Mi’s voice rang outside his door . Wang Meng had yet to wake up, so he was irritated and went out impatiently .

“What’s the matter?”

Wang Meng asked coldly .

“I found Zi Chen . ” Lin Mi looked very excited .

“What?” Wang Meng rubbed his sleepy eyes .

“I found Zi Chen, last night I saw him, so I returned hurriedly throughout the night…”

Wang Meng waved his hand and said: “Less nonsense, just say the specific place”

“Outside the Solitary Forest, I know the direction . ” Lin Mi said .

“Good, you wait for a minute . ” After that, Wang Meng left quickly .

A moment later, Wang Meng came with two white clothed youths, they were Wang Xiong’s subordinates . Their names were Cao Kai and Yi Ping, and they had the strength of seventh Zhen Qi layer . They were much stronger than Wei Ling, Cao Kai was at the at the peak of the seventh Zhen Qi layer .

“Where is Brother Wang Xiong?” Lin Mi asked puzzledly .

“Hmph, we can kill Zi Chen without senior brother . ” Cao Kai snorted coldly . This frightened Lin Mi, and he didn’t dare to speak again .

After eating something simple, Lin Mi and his subordinates set off .

“Senior brother, that… . What about the Zhen Qi Pill?” Half way there, Lin Mi couldn’t help but ask .

“When we see Zi Chen, we will naturally hand it to you,” Yi Ping said coldly .

“Yes, yes . ” Lin Mi nodded then increased his speed .

Half a day later, three people arrived at the Solitary Forest . With Lin Mi’s guidance, they walked towards the mountain .

These three people saw Zi Chen standing on top of the hill, and at that moment Zi Chen was looking at them .

“You came . ” Looking at three of them, Zi Chen spoke indifferently .

After the old man’s reminder yesterday, Zi Chen was even more cautious . Today, since the early morning, he guarded the hill . After he saw the three people, Zi Chen was relieved .

As long as it wasn’t Wang Xiong, he had confidence to deal with them, therefore he didn’t leave, but waited here .

“Zi Chen . ” The three people looked at Zi Chen coldly .

In the inner disciple assessment, Zi Chen’s talent overshadowed everyone in the inner sect, and there was almost no one that didn’t know Zi Chen .

“Zi Chen is here . Can I have the Zhen Qi Pill now?” Looking at both sides that were about to break into a fight, Lin Mi said cautiously .

“Hmph, just a trivial Zhen Qi Pill . ” Cao Kai snorted coldly, after that, he took out a bottle from his chest, poured out one Zhen Qi Pill and gave it to Lin Mi .

On top the hill, Zi Chen’s eyes shone suddenly, and muttered out one word: “Lucky . ” The idea to kill and seize their valuables instantly appeared .

“Good, I have shown the way and found the person, so I should leave . ” Lin Mi said tactfully . Now, he needed find a place to refine the Zhen Qi Pill, and breakthrough to the fifth Zhen Qi layer in one fell swoop .

“Go . ” Cao Kai said coldly .

“You can’t leave!” Just as Lin Mi nodded and prepared to leave, a bursting shout from Zi Chen resounded . He saw Zi Chen move his feet and float towards their side, just like a weightless feather .

“I have yet to repay your kindness the day you threw shit on my hut . So how can I let you go?” Zi Chen sneered, he already recognized Lin Mi .

When he heard Zi Chen’s words, Lin Mi’s face changed greatly . The present Zi Chen couldn’t be compared with the past, even Wu Sheng wasn’t his match, let alone a trivial fourth Zhen Qi layer Lin Mi . He drew back, and sought help: “Senior brothers save me . ”

“Zi Chen, go to hell!” Seeing that Zi Chen took the initiative to attack, Cao Kai and Yi Ping’s eyes flashed with a dense killing intent, they looked at each other and sent out an attack together towards Zi Chen .

“Star Burst Fist . ”

“Titan Fist . ”

Rank two martial techniques with essence appeared, making them their strongest strike . The wind howled, and their fists’ pressure surged at Zi Chen ruthlessly .

Facing their attacks, Zi Chen didn’t dodge, but in his dantian, the silver lightning zhen qi started to surge, just like a thunderbolt meandering from his body, which moved towards his fingertip . In an instant . Zi Chen’s finger changed into a streak of lightning, and directly shot towards Yi Ping .

Seeing Zi Chen’s transformed finger into a thunderbolt, the silver lightning ray, and the oppressive pressure from the thunder, it caused Yi Ping to be scared shitless . His complexion turned ghastly pale . Offense turned into defense, as he placed his fist in front of his chest, he moved his feet and flew back because he wanted to withstand Zi Chen’s attack .

Bang!

But his speed couldn’t be compared with the speed of the thunderbolt, and in an instant, the thunderbolt exploded onto Yi Ping’s chest . The deafening explosion was like a rumbling thunder sound .

Under the thunderbolt, Yi Ping’s body was burnt black in an instant, just like being roasted on a fire . Under the huge violent force, his body flew upside down towards the rear, and collided with the escaping Lin Mi .

“Ah!”

Seeing the charred corpse, Lin Mi couldn’t help but utter a terrified scream . His feet grew weak, fell to the ground, and was unable to flee .

At the same time, Cao Kai’s fist landed on Zi Chen’s body, but because of his formidable physique, Zi Chen’s body only shook a little in the air, and retreated a few steps . He didn’t suffer any injuries, only his blood surged a little within his body .

“This was the Thunderbolt Fingers!” Cao Kai cried out in alarm, his face turned pale, his eyes were filled with shock .

In the Ling Wu sect, the only technique that could control lightning power was the Thunderbolt Finger . It was known as the strongest useless martial technique . Initially Zi Chen offended senior brother Luo Men and it was thus given to Zi Chen, but Cao Kai didn’t expect Zi Chen to actually master it .

“Good, you have some knowledge . ” Zi Chen sneered as his killing intent flashed across his eyes .

“You, you actually mastered it . ” Cao Kai was terrified, he walked back slowly, with the intention to retreat .

Without the strength of the eighth Zhen Qi layer, he was absolutely unable to withstand the rank one martial technique, Thunderbolt Fingers .

Only a brief encounter, and Yi Ping was already killed by the Thunderbolt Finger . Cao Kai was only slightly stronger than Yi Ping, therefore in that instant, he turned his body suddenly, used a rank two movement technique, and began his retreat .

“You want to run? It won’t be that easy . ” Zi Chen sneered, and moved his feet . The true essence of the Flowing Cloud Step appeared, and he chased after Cao Kai instantaneously .

“Roar . ”

The roaring sound of a fierce tiger resounded repeatedly as Zi Chen sent out the Fierce Tiger Fist .

“Go away! I won’t kill you anymore!” Cao Kai shouted repeatedly, he turned his body and sent out some attacks, but each of his attacks would suffer a loss after meeting Zi Chen’s strike . The formidable body of Zi Chen was simply too terrifying .

“Go away, you’re a monster!”

“Go away, I said I won’t kill you anymore!”

Cao Kai roared repeatedly . In his eyes, Zi Chen became a monster . He was obviously at the sixth Zhen Qi layer, but he actually had the body comparable with that of a rank seven ferocious beast . Cao Kai’s attack couldn’t break the opposite party’s defense .

“First Finger of the Raging Thunder”

In the end, Zi Chen caught up with Cao Kai and used his killing move . His zhen qi surged, and lightning from his fingertips appeared again and went straight towards Cao Kai’s back .

Cao Kai cried out loudly, and all of the zhen qi in his body surged . A white light appeared on his fists and moved to guard the front of his body . He wanted to block this strike .

Bang!

When the Thunderbolt fell on Cao Kai’s body, the qi that protected his body was shattered in an instant . At the same time, both his arms were instantly pushed away under the impact of the thunderbolt, and his entire chest was charred .

His life force dissipated .

Two powerhouses at the seventh zhen qi layer were killed by Zi Chen . One became a black charcoal, and the other one wasn’t any better .

Zi Chen stepped forward quickly, he searched Cao Kai’s chest, then pulled out a bottle . After he saw that the bottle was safe and sound, he secretly said in his heart: “What a close call . ”

He opened the bottle, and a delicate fragrance that belonged to the Zhen Qi Pills greeted his nostrils . There was actually only one Zhen Qi Pill in the bottle, Zi Chen said disdainfully: “So poor . ”

After that, he arrived by the side of Yi Ping, the opposite party had been killed by the blast of the lightning, his corpse wasn’t even intact . Even if he had a Zhen Qi Pill, it would’ve been destroyed by the thunderbolt .

Zi Chen didn’t have any harvest . Finally it was the turn of the terrified Lin Mi who was sitting on the ground .

“Don’t kill me… . Don’t kill me . ” Lin Mi’s eyes were filled with fear, even his voice started to tremble . He was absolutely terrified by Zi Chen’s aura .

Just within a dozen days, Zi Chen had grown to such a degree, that he killed two inner disciple at the seventh Zhen Qi layer in just a few moves .

Lin Mi had long been scared silly . Sitting on the ground, he didn’t even dare to move, letting Zi Chen take away his Zhen Qi Pill .

“You can go, I won’t kill you today . Go back and tell Wang Xiong, if he wants to kill me, it’s better to arrange some decent opponent . ”

Finished, Zi Chen no longer payed attention to Lin Mi and dealt with the two corpses .
