Chapter 99: The Upper Official of the Earth Boundary

  "Xiao Zhen, did you ever think it would end up like this? You've been chasing us for so long, and now that we're at your mercy, doesn't it feel great to treat us like ants?"

  Looking at Xiao Zhen's miserable appearance, Shangguan Yu would not have the slightest sympathy. Probably his current situation is even more miserable than Xiao Zhen's now. Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and Shangguan Yu has deeply understood this truth now.

  Xiao Zhen's body was almost torn in half, and he looked like he wouldn't last much longer. He struggled to open his mouth, "I, the king, am just having a streak of bad luck, not being killed by you! I won't accept it, why is your tribulation like child's play, while mine is so desperate? The heavens are unjust, the heavens are unjust! You thieving heaven, why do you treat me this way?"

  "Hmph, as a cultivator, you actually don't respect the heavens. Isn't that just asking for death?" From afar, Zhu Shoucheng sneered, he was an inner disciple of the True Martial Gate and naturally knew many things. Once one enters the path of cultivation, whether it be a Taoist or a warrior, they must always respect the heavens and earth.

  Boom

  As expected, after hearing Xiao Zhen's words, Lei Jie seemed to have become enraged. Bolt after bolt of lightning struck towards Xiao Zhen, as if trying to vent his anger. The thunderbolts within Lei Jie churned and boiled over.

  Xiao Zhen also closed his eyes in despair, facing such heavenly might, what could a small King Realm warrior like him do? Reverse the heavens? A King Realm warrior wanting to reverse the heavens was simply a fool's dream.

  Xiao Zhen's body also exploded, blood and flesh mixed together, splashing everywhere in the air. However, Lei Jie seemed to have not extinguished his anger, chopping off those pieces of flesh, making them disperse into the air.

  Shangguan Yu watched this scene, and it was also the first time he discovered that Lei Jie was so terrifying. All along, he had always thought that Lei Jie was just helping people temper their bodies, until now he realized that Lei Jie actually had such a terrifying side.

  However, these did not scare him, but only made him more cautious. Because his temper was still so gentle and calm, as if he was born with a mild temperament. "Is it true that there is a gap between people? Why is my temper so good to me?"

  Shangguan Yu shook his head and stopped thinking about those things. The lightning bolts striking towards him were also gradually increasing in number, and they were much thicker than before. Bolt after bolt of lightning as thick as an arm struck towards him, and Shangguan Yu put away the You Long Gun, focusing on dealing with the tribulation.

  The Thunder Tribulation would initially widen Shangguan Yu's meridians and slightly strengthen his physique, allowing him to temporarily adapt to the thunder. By mid-term, the Thunder Tribulation would intensify, step by step pushing Shangguan Yu to his limits. As for this process, Shangguan Yu was also familiar with it.

  At this time, Shangguan Yu was already surrounded by lightning. Those lightning pierced into Shangguan Yu's body, step by step tempering his body. Shangguan Yu also felt once again the feeling of pain and pleasure.

  Looking at Shangguan Yu in the thunderbolt, and then looking at Xiao Zhen who was split into flying ash, everyone also did not speak for a long time. "We warriors, when can we resist this kind of heavenly tribulation?" Qin Shou said in a low voice.

  "This is just a small heavenly tribulation, the higher the cultivation of a warrior, the more powerful the heavenly tribulation they will encounter. Only in legend, our True Martial Sect's founder, the True Martial Emperor, was completely unafraid of heavenly tribulations. Even if it were an even more severe heavenly tribulation, the True Martial Emperor could still easily break through it." Zhu Shoucheng also spoke up in a low voice.

  "Really? Is Zhenwu Emperor really that powerful?" Qin Shou asked in a low voice.

  "I don't know how strong the True Martial Great Emperor is either. Let's just say, do you think a top-notch sect is strong or not? It's like our current True Martial Sect, of course, and there are also some families that can rival a top-notch sect."

  Zhu Shoucheng paused for a moment, then continued: "And the True Martial Great Emperor once raised his hand and destroyed a Supreme Sect. That Supreme Sect didn't even know where it had offended the True Martial Great Emperor. Legend has it that at the time, the True Martial Great Emperor stretched out one hand and slapped, and that Supreme Sect was reduced to ashes."

  "Hmm..."

  Everyone took a deep breath, this sounded too terrifying. That was the Supreme Sect, which was countless times stronger than the Small Wang Dynasty. The emperor of the Small Wang Dynasty was just a martial artist at the Emperor Extreme Realm, and even an Emperor Extreme Realm martial artist in the True Martial Sect was only an elite disciple.

  After a sigh, Qin Shou looked at Shangguan Yu who was surrounded by lightning, "Little Yu won't be in trouble, right? After all, that prince from the Wangji boundary has already been struck to dust. I'm still worried about Little Yu, these flashes of lightning look too terrifying."

  When Qin Shou said this, the others also cast their eyes towards Shangguan Yu. Zhu Shoucheng looked at Shangguan Yu, who was bathed in lightning, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Shangguan Yu's upgrading speed was indeed too fast, and this talent was truly unmatched. If he continued to let Shangguan Yu cultivate like this, would he, Zhu Shoucheng, still be able to complete his mission?

  The reactions of the outside world, Shangguan Yu naturally didn't know. He was now completely exhausted, these lightning bolts had pushed him to his limits time and again. However, Shangguan Yu didn't have any complaints, the more suffering he endured, the stronger his strength would become.

  An hour later.

  "Hū" Above, Yu Fei spat out a mouthful of black smoke, and the thunderbolt in the sky finally dispersed. Once again, Yu Fei's skin became white and tender. As for all this, Yu Fei was also helpless, just being white is fine, as long as his strength increased it's okay.

  "Senior brother, junior brother, wait for me! I really can't go on the road like this. I'll go wash up." Xiang Yu covered his lower body and ran off. It's said that every time he goes through a heavenly tribulation, a set of clothes will be torn to shreds.

  Looking at Shangguan Yu's appearance, Qin Shou also laughed out loud. Shangguan Yu glared at him with a fierce expression, but the meaning in his eyes was self-evident. However, Qin Shou's laughter grew even louder, clearly not intimidated by Shangguan Yu's threat. The others were also seemingly stirred up by Qin Shou and burst out laughing one after another.

  "Alright, it seems I need to find some clothes that can withstand lightning strikes. Otherwise, I'll have to run naked every time after experiencing a strike. It's still okay for now, but if there are many women around in the future, my face will be completely lost. I'm not an exhibitionist."

  "Xiao Yu, how did those delicious ones disappear so quickly?" Suddenly, Xiao Guizi leaned on Shangguan Yu's shoulder and said in a soft voice.

  "Delicious? What's delicious?" Upper Official Yu looked at Little Gui curiously, he didn't remember giving Little Gui anything delicious.

  "It's those things from just now, you guys call them lightning or something. I love eating them, every time I can eat until I'm full." Little Guizi blinked her small eyes, looking at Shangguan Yu with anticipation.

  Shangguan Yu stumbled and almost fell to the ground. "What did you say? Those lightning bolts are what you said were delicious? Are those lightning bolts really edible? Can those lightning bolts be eaten? Xiaogui, aren't you dreaming?"

  "No, I really think those lightning bolts are delicious. Originally, after using two innate divine abilities, I was a bit weak. But after eating those lightning bolts, I now feel full of energy, and even if I use a few more innate divine abilities, it won't be a problem." Xiao Guizi surprisingly stood up and patted his chest with both front paws.

  "Alright, Little Gui, you've surprised me once again." Xiang Yu smiled, and Little Gui's two innate divine abilities were already quite formidable. If not for those two innate divine abilities, how could he have possibly killed the two Ghost Marquis realm warriors? Now, Little Gui was even able to eat lightning; this little turtle was becoming increasingly mysterious.

  "By the way, is there really nothing wrong with that space you usually stay in?" Shangguan Yu asked again.

  Xiao Gui was only occasionally perched on his shoulder, and for most of the time he was still in another space. Xiao Gui said that it was his own home, and although Dàyuè didn't know where it was, it should be similar to the principle of the spatial ring.

  "Whoosh... so much water, I love it!" As soon as he saw the river in front of him, Xiaogui flew out from above Yu's shoulder. Not jumped, but flew. Yu seriously sensed below and found that there were two illusory wings on Xiaogui's turtle shell, which couldn't be seen with the naked eye. Moreover, these wings seemed to exist only when Xiaogui was flying, and would come out only at that time.

  "Are you done yet? Let's head back once we're done, we still have a mission to complete. You're so lucky, all you need to do is sleep all day. I'm not as fortunate as you, I have to cultivate all day, how enviable!" Shangguan Yu said sarcastically.

  Before long, Shangguan Yu changed into a clean set of clothes and walked back. Facing Qin Shou's strange gaze, Shangguan Yu walked to his side and patted his shoulder vigorously. "How's your injury? Nothing serious, right?"

  Qin Shou's gritted teeth and twisted mouth, Upper Official Yu was clearly retaliating. "I said Little Yu, how could you do this? I was just happy that you safely survived the thunderbolt, why are you hitting me so hard now?"

  Shangguan Yu blinked innocently, her expression as sincere as possible. "I'm asking you, Qin Shou, are you really stupid or just pretending to be? I'm showing concern for you, and I'm consoling you because you're hurt. Did I really use a lot of strength? It seems like this time you're really injured, so take good care of yourself."

  As they watched this scene, others also burst out laughing. After all, Shangguan Yu and Qin Shou were still two children, and it was normal for such things to happen to them. As they grew up, they would lose their innocence, they would intrigue against each other, and they would calculate against each other.

  "Three little brothers, I don't know where you're going? If it's to the Southern Bandit Kingdom, I can show you the way. If it's somewhere else, then we'll just have to part ways here!" Suddenly spoke up Xiao Bin who had been standing on the side.
