Chapter 829: Killing
Of course, compared to Jia Zheng and the others, Zhao Mu had a clearer perception of this bone. It was definitely not something left behind by someone in the Reincarnation Realm. At the very least, it had to be from someone in the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and in the late stage at that. It might even have come from an expert in the Ascension Realm.
Of course, the Qi cultivators of ancient times did not use the cultivation realms of today, but the levels can be compared.
This bone, which had not undergone any refining, was of a quality comparable to his heavy spear.
It should be noted that this is something that is infinitely close to a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Artifact.
"You little bastard, so what if you have a low-grade spiritual artifact!"
Cang Lian's eyes were full of disdain, and when he saw Zhao Mu's heavy spear, his eyes lit up. He said mockingly, "This heavy spear is destined for me. After I kill you, it will be mine."
"You? You think you're worthy?"
Zhao Mu's spear moved like a dragon, forcing Cang Lian back, and then with another sweeping motion, he forced the rest of the group back as well.
"You arrogant bastard, why are you running away!"
Seeing Zhao Mu running around aimlessly and not engaging in direct combat, Cang Lian repeatedly mocked him.
"Haha~"
A soft laugh rang out, and Zhao Mu, who had flashed several times, appeared above the heads of the Cang family members. He looked down at them like a god, with lightning flashing behind him. He smiled and said, "Of course, it's a trap. The tribulation lightning will fall. Heaven's punishment is merciless and won't care whether you are innocent or not. As long as you are within the range of the tribulation lightning, you will only be destroyed."
"Gentlemen, I hope you can pull through, haha!"
Boom~
Almost instantly, bright white tribulation lightning descended from the sky, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime. As a tribulation seeker, Zhao Mu had no chance to dodge and could only take the hit head-on.
The Heavenly Punishment of the Four Extremes Realm is extremely terrifying. Even when Zhao Mu was using the Heavenly Thunder Technique, he was still struck and his body was covered in blood and gore.
"Damn, that really hurts!"
Zhao Mu gasped in shock after being struck.
Seeing this, Cang Lian sneered, "You want to borrow the power of the tribulation lightning, but haven't we also taken a heavenly punishment head-on? Looking at your weak appearance, where do you think you can run? Everyone, attack together and kill him immediately."
"Little Sword King!"
The onlookers above immediately became tense, because Zhao Mu looked very bad. They all looked at Yan Lan, obviously asking if they should return to the ruins to help Zhao Mu.
These people are truly loyal; even with the divine punishment still in effect, they all wanted to help Zhao Mu, risking their lives!
"Just watch closely. Now that the divine punishment has fallen, the Cang family is nothing but a bunch of worthless dogs in front of Brother Zhao."
Yanlan crossed her arms, her eyes showing no sign of worry. She knew very well that Zhao Mu was a cunning old fox.
It was obvious that they were deliberately luring Cang Lian and the others over.
Because the heavenly punishment had just begun and the density was not yet high enough, Cang Lian and the others could not withstand the tribulation lightning for the time being.
Sure enough, the next moment Zhao Mu suddenly looked up, grinned at the Cang family and the others, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Oh no, this is divine punishment!"
Boom~
Several bolts of tribulation lightning struck down, landing precisely on Cang Lian and the others.
However, given their family background and their status as outstanding individuals among their peers, a single lightning bolt was unlikely to take their lives.
but......
"You're still alive? Well then, here I come!"
A smile played on Zhao Mu's lips as he gripped his heavy spear and charged directly toward Cang Lian and the others.
Unlike him, who was frequently struck by lightning, the Cang family members had no resistance to tribulation lightning, and many of them had their strength reduced by more than 50%.
In less than ten breaths, Zhao Mu had finished off everyone except Cang Lian.
Not only that, he also confiscated everyone's Qiankun Rings.
"Now it's just you left, Canglian!"
Zhao Mu twisted his neck and looked up at the tribulation clouds. Clearly, the second heavenly punishment was about to fall. "I hope that after you survive the second heavenly punishment, you will still have the strength to escape my pursuit."
After saying this, Zhao Mu stretched and prepared to face the second heavenly punishment.
"Where did these bedbugs come from...?"
Fear finally began to show in Cang Li's eyes. It wasn't that no one in the Cang family had ever caused divine punishment, but... but who could be like this guy? What was this about undergoing heavenly tribulation? After entering the tribulation clouds, it was as if he had returned to his happy hometown.
The mangled flesh and weak breath of the previous body were almost instantly restored; it was simply outrageous.
"Damn it, I can't keep this up, I have to go!"
Cang Lian has already decided to leave; if he stays here, he might really be buried in the ruins.
"Hey! Trying to leave?"
Sensing Cang Lian's intention, Zhao Mu smiled and said calmly, "It seems you really don't understand anything about Heavenly Tribulation. Your aura has already been targeted by the Heavenly Dao, and there's no way you can escape. You should think about how to get through this second Heavenly Tribulation first."
"Friendly reminder: the power of the second heavenly punishment is at least 30% stronger than the first."
Boom~
Almost as soon as the words were spoken, an even more terrifying lightning bolt struck.
Zhao Mu continued to circulate the Heavenly Thunder Bone, choosing to withstand the attack head-on, but Cang Lian was not so lucky. Having experienced the second tribulation, his aura was weak at this moment, even though the mysterious bone had helped him block some of the tribulation lightning.
Without that bone, he would probably be on the verge of death by now.
"Stop struggling, my heavy spear is very sharp, it can pierce you through the heart in one go, without any pain, hehehe~"
Zhao Mu, like a villain, charged towards Cang Lian with a heavy spear.
"Damn it, you... uh~"
Before Cang Lian could even finish speaking, Zhao Mu's heavy spear pierced his heart, and at the same time, the third heavenly punishment followed.
Boom~
cough~
Caught off guard by the attack, Zhao Mu coughed heavily twice and muttered angrily, "This is too much! My Qiankun Ring is completely gone..."
After killing Cang Lian, he was preparing to take the former's Qiankun Ring, but who would have thought that the Thief Heavenly Dao would suddenly pull this stunt.
Under divine punishment, the Qiankun Ring was shattered into pieces, and everything inside vanished.
Only a bone remained, falling from the sky.
"Well, I guess I've gained something, albeit somewhat!"
After Zhao Mu put the bone away, he said to Yan Lan and the others outside, "You all need to step back, the farther the better."
He discovered that the ruins were about to be buried again under the black sand sea, and there was no time to complete the tribulation here; he had to get out first.
Upon hearing this, Yanlan and the others immediately retreated.
Seeing the crowd disperse, Zhao Mu immediately followed the black tornado out of the ancient city ruins.
"Little Sword King, is Fellow Daoist Zhao able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Looking at Zhao Mu, whose condition was becoming increasingly dire in the center of the tribulation clouds, Mo Qiusheng looked worried, and Jia Zheng and the others also paid close attention.
"It should be fine."
Yanlan wasn't too worried. After all, this guy could even foresee that he was going to undergo a heavenly tribulation. This heavenly punishment seemed terrifying, but she figured it wouldn't be too difficult for him.
