Chapter 301: Rumbling Divine Lightning

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Atop a tall building.

“Great Lightning Strike Technique!”

Xu Xiaolan yelled lightly.

A brilliant bolt of lightning suddenly exploded among the dark clouds.

All the blood drained from Tian Lingling’s face as she looked on in fear. “Hey hey… you’re going too far, aren’t you?”

“We have no choice, there are too many people and too little time, we can only resort to this in the hope that Su Qianyun is going to notice abnormal divine lightning and seek us out of her own accord.” An Lin sighed in exasperation.

“Let me help, woof!” Da Bai swiped his claws through the air excitedly.

Gale-force winds were instantly whipped up by his gesture.

All the tourists below shrieked in fear as strong winds suddenly swept up without warning around them.

“Run! The lightning and winds are too strong!”

“How did the weather change so suddenly and so drastically!?”

“Forget about that, let’s find a place to hide first…”

All the people below fled the scene in fear, with the exception of a few daredevils who whipped out their phones to film the extreme weather abnormalities.

Rumble…

Lightning was still crackling through the sky like a series of divine swords stabbing through the dark clouds, causing onlookers to flinch with fear.

“Wow, what a spectacular scene, is there a fellow cultivator nearby transcending the tribulation?”

It had to be an extremely powerful mighty figure!

Some people were taking photos, others were filming videos, but all of them were marveling at the scenes before them.

“Huff, huff… I can’t do it, I don’t have the strength to maintain this.” Beads of sweat had appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s forehead as she panted in exhaustion after releasing so many bolts of lightning.

“Don’t stop yet, let’s combined our power and make a big one!”

Electricity flashed between An Lin’s fingertips as a peculiar ripple spread through the sky.

Xu Xiaolan nodded with a determined expression.

The power of the True Dragon in her body exploded forth into the air.

Divine Dragon Lightning!

Lightning Amplification Technique!

An especially thick bolt of lightning pierced through the dark clouds and lit up heaven and earth.

Everyone looking into the sky was momentarily blinded by the brilliant flash.

Immediately afterward, an ear-splitting rumble erupted as if there was True Dragon roaring overhead!

Some of the panes of glass nearby had even begun to crack under the force of the sound waves.

All the onlookers who had just been blinded now felt like they were also deaf.

“Ah~!” Some of the onlookers began to shriek again.

A few of the people taking vides stumbled back as their phones slipped from their grasp and clattered onto the ground.

“Holy f*ck! What kind of f*cking lightning is this?”

“Mommy, I’m scared!”

“I’ve never seen such phenomenal lightning in my life!”

“Supernatural event, this is definitely a supernatural event!”

…

Many of the people below had been scared sh*tless by the terrifying bolt of thunder and the few remaining daredevils all ducked into the shops on the street, in fear that they would be struck by the lightning.

However, the strange thing was, after that especially terrifying bolt of lightning, there seemed to be no further bolts of lightning strikes.

Tian Lingling stared down at the people scrambling in panic below with a dazed expression. “It’s over, we’re screwed, how could you do this… we’re in deep trouble now…”

Xu Xiaolan and An Lin sat with their backs against one another, panting heavily with exhaustion.

Da Bai was still having the time of his life, sweeping up gale-force winds with his claws.

“Regardless of whether this succeeds, we’ve tried our best.” An Lin wiped the sweat away from his forehead.

“Hopefully Su Qianyun can see this. If she doesn’t find us… we’ll just have to continue!” Xu Xiaolan’s face was filled with determination.

Tian Lingling almost blacked out after hearing her words. Things were already like this and they still wanted to continue?

Right at this moment, a mellow voice sounded from afar.

“Classmate An Lin, Classmate Xu Xiaolan! I’ve finally found you guys!”

Su Qianyun flew over to them on her Moonlight Disc with a mixture of excitement and shame on her face.

She had cast an invisibility spell formation around herself which could obscure her from mortal eyes and detection technology, but at their cultivation base, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were both easily able to see through the spell formation.

Xu Xiaolan immediately sprung up from the ground and enveloped Su Qianyun in a tight hug.

“I’m so sorry, Xu Xiaolan, it’s all my fault for leaving my original location, sorry for making you worry…”

“This isn’t your fault, I’m the one to blame for my negligence!”

Xu Xiaolan and Su Qianyun held onto each tightly as if they were sisters that had been separated for many years.

An Lin also wanted to join in on the huddle, but he didn’t want to die yet, so he could only stand by and watch.

Da Bai immediately ceased his spell-casting upon the return of Su Qianyun.

Tian Lingling also heaved a sigh of relief. “Since we’ve found the person you’re looking for, can you make the dark clouds dissipate now?”

“Make the clouds dissipate? Are you retarded?” An Lin turned to look at Tian Lingling with disdain.

Tian Lingling’s petite lips fell open. “Huh?”

“You have to follow the laws of science! There was lightning, thunder, and wind, hinting at the arrival of a storm, and now you’re telling us to make the clouds dissipate? What’s everyone below going to think?” An Lin spoke in a rational voice.

“So what you’re saying is…” Tian Lingling’s bright eyes flashed as a thought suddenly occurred to her.

“We have to make it rain of course!” An Lin replied earnestly.

Xu Xiaolan and Su Qianyun were clearly in agreement with An Lin, and both of them cast glances of approval toward him.

Thus, the three of them unleashed a Great Storm Technique.

Pitter patter…

It was now raining furiously…

Tian Lingling’s chest tightened. Follow the laws of science?

It sounded reasonable, but there seemed to be a flaw in that logic somewhere.

Bam!

A slender woman with long hair in black casual clothes kicked open the door to the roof and charged toward An Lin and the others with a few cultivators behind her.

“I’m the second squad leader of the National Special Operations Department, Huang Shanshan, why are you causing such a… eh?” The long-haired woman’s words faltered mid-sentence as she stared in disbelief at the people in front of her.

An Lin and the others were all in shock upon seeing this familiar woman as well.

“Heh… What a coincidence…” An Lin greeted her a little awkwardly.

“Why is it you guys again?!” Huang Shanshan’s eyes widened with rage, looking as if she wanted to hit someone.

Tian Lingling blinked with incomprehension. “Sister Shanshan, what do you by ‘again’?”

“Last time they cast a spell and set the entire sky alight at Rong City!” Huang Shanshan snapped in rage.

“Oh sh*t! No wonder they looked like seasoned experts and had no guilty conscience whatsoever, it’s because they are repeat offenders!” Tian Lingling exclaimed in shock.

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

An Lin scratched his head apologetically. “You see… special circumstances require special actions, let me explain…”

…

The rain slowly ceased, and the dark clouds dissipated as the sun once again shone onto the ground.

All the people below began to slowly exit the shops in which they were seeking refuge.

They were still discussing the terrifying thunderstorm, with some people posting messages to their circle of friends and others updating their Weibo.

To them, this wasn’t really something super noteworthy, and those who were updating their circle of friends and their Weibo accounts were just doing it out of vanity more than anything else.

As for those that had been genuinely frightened by the incident, all they could do was grumble about it for a bit before eventually forgetting about the whole event soon after.

The world didn’t lack inconceivable things, and this wasn’t even really worthy of note in comparison. If one dwelled deep enough, they could explain anything through science.

Even if no explanation could be offered, they could just say it was some sort of promotional clip for a game.

Xu Xiaolan, Su Qianyun, An Lin, and even his dog all expressed heartfelt apologies and willingly offered to pay their fine in spirit stones.

After listening to An Lin’s explanation, Huang Shanshan sighed in resignation and waived their fine. Seeing as they didn’t really cause any substantial trouble, she let them off with just a verbal warning.

An Lin brought out a green spirit pill from his storage ring and handed it to Huang Shanshan.

“What are you doing? I don’t take bribes!” Huang Shanshan glared at An Lin out of the corner of her eyes.

“Don’t be like that, we’re old friends so this is just a gift, not a bribe. This is an Evergreen Youth spirit pill, it can clear up your skin and revitalize your muscles…” An Lin pushed the pill at Huang Shanshan.

Huang Shanshan’s hands put up a resistance, but her heart had already been won over and she took the pill in the end after a short tussle.

“Hmph, you didn’t even tell me when you descended into the mortal world and now you’re expecting me to tidy up your shenanigans, some old friend you are!” Huang Shanshan complained. Even though her lips were pursed, but her expression had softened significantly.

“Alright, I’m going now, call me if you need me!”

Huang Shanshan waved her hand and left.

“Bye, Shanshan.” An Lin waved at her enthusiastically.

Huang Shanshan’s personality was getting more and more explosive, just like her figure.

Hence, Da Bai was extremely excited.

“Big Brother An, Big Brother An, is she one of your friends? Please introduce her to me! Woof!”

“Alright… but let’s get you a phone first, she doesn’t have a voice transmission talisman.”

An Lin then pointed to Su Qianyun with a serious expression.

“You too!”

Su Qianyun nodded with a guilty expression as tears welled up in her dreamy eyes.

An Lin was once again knocked breathless by her exquisite features and gasped involuntarily.

“And you have to add me on your voice transmission talisman too!”
