Chapter 78: Chapter 73: The Inconceivable Thunder Punishment!
Sun Chao’s shout made the other human traffickers tremble all over. They hadn’t come to their senses yet, but they all looked up at the sky. Hearing the extreme panic and fear in his voice, their bodies instinctively responded, and their legs started moving uncontrollably.
It was at this moment.
The ink-black cloud vortex in the sky seemed to have reached its limit, no longer rotating, and appeared compressed.
In an instant, threads of dark cloud vapor madly dissipated from the vortex, with slender electric arcs wildly racing through the dissipating clouds, darting and colliding wantonly.
Lightning burst within the vortex, illuminating the clouds.
At this moment, it was like daylight in the sky.
The next instant.
The arcs in the cloud vapor, the flash behind the clouds... all these seemed to converge to a single point at the center of the vortex in an instant.
That extreme point.
This point, at this moment, shone like the brightest star in the galaxy.
Dazzling and radiant, containing infinite energy.
If Lin Beichen were here, capturing that indescribable feeling to observe this scene.
He could see...
The Qilin in the illusion, at this moment, reached the peak of its tearing sensation, every part of its body seeming to be pulled in different directions.
It was already at its limit.
The next instant.
The Qilin’s body exploded, shattering into pieces, impacting the surrounding cloud sea.
The cloud sea roiled violently, releasing tens of thousands of thunders!
Simultaneously.
"Crash——!!!"
The deafening crackle came first. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
A bright white-purple light blossomed at the center of the cloud vortex.
A thick white-purple lightning shot down rapidly from the blossoming light within the cloud layer, without any branches, not even any curves, carrying slender dancing arcs, split the dark sky, and tore through the torrential rain, almost striking the ground in an instant.
Human trafficker: !!!
This lightning...
To the extreme bewilderment is clarity.
At this moment, their minds were very clear, their conscious thoughts took over their subconscious, and they started controlling their bodies to flee for their lives.
However, among them.
It was evident that...
One human trafficker had already fallen behind, while the others had run several meters away, he was almost still in his original spot.
It wasn’t that he ran slow, but his reflex arc was too long.
While others started running the moment they heard Sun Chao’s shout, he just stood there in a daze, not reacting immediately.
"Am I... going to die?"
Watching the lightning above his head magnifying infinitely in his eyes, this human trafficker, more clear-headed than anyone else, understood clearly in his heart that he was about to meet his end.
The lightning arrived.
In the final moment of life.
His face twisted as if demonic, his eyes bulged as if they would pop out, reflecting the white-purple light, filled with immense fear and dread.
"Damn it!!!"
"Boom——!!!!!!"
The tremendous collision sound entirely drowned out the human trafficker’s last voice filled with extreme unwillingness.
All the human traffickers heard the sound, their hearts shivered, and they couldn’t help but look back.
They only saw an instant.
The next instant.
Their pupils contracted, before their eyes was only a dazzling light, completely white.
The scene they saw seemed to freeze before their eyes like a photograph.
The thick white-purple lightning looked like a pillar holding up the sky, connecting heaven and earth.
Near the ground, dirt and rocks splashed.
There was a figure in the brightness.
The figure was thin and blurry.
"Xiao Bai?"
Earlier, the human traffickers were too busy to notice who had been left behind, but from the voice, they vaguely guessed who it was.
Xiao Bai, whose real name was Zhong Bai, was the youngest among this group of human traffickers, very obedient, deeply liked by everyone, and was their group pet.
Soon, the human traffickers’ vision gradually recovered, and the surrounding scenes began to reappear before their eyes.
The cloud vortex in the sky started to gradually dissipate, the dark clouds were still dense, the heavy rain still poured, no more electric flashes, and no more thunder sounds.
If Lin Beichen were here, trying to capture that indescribable feeling, he would find that it was impossible to sense it anymore, nor would there be any illusive Qilin scenes. The only thing he could feel was the electric elements in the surrounding sky still converging towards this area.
For a moment, the human traffickers were at a loss, the near-death experience of almost being struck by lightning left a huge shadow in their hearts.
"What the hell? How could a lightning bolt suddenly strike down? Damn, it almost hit me!"
"Is it safe now? It can’t suddenly strike again, right?"
"..."
Voices filled with panic and unease arose around them.
The human traffickers spoke, but their eyes kept looking at the sky, afraid another sudden strike would hit them, and they wouldn’t escape this time.
After waiting for a moment and seeing no more lightning strikes, and the clouds in the sky didn’t seem like they would strike again anytime soon, they began to feel safe.
"It seems safe now."
"There shouldn’t be any more lightning strikes."
"..."
As they talked, they stopped looking at the sky and started looking at the position where the lightning had struck.
On the ground, the position that had just been struck had a charred circle.
One human trafficker walked over, and then one by one, they gathered around from all directions.
Zhong Bai’s corpse lay in the very center of the blackened circle.
His facial features completely blurred, not even recognizable.
The whole body had shrunk two sizes, as if it had just been pulled from boiling asphalt, completely blackened, with a charred hue all over, completely stiff, and even lying on the ground, still maintained his last posture—head raised to the sky, limbs in a running stance.
