Chapter 981 - 931: Is He Crazy?

People often talk about being struck by thunder.

However, what exactly does being struck by thunder mean? Few people truly understand this concept.

It’s nothing more than a way of making a vow, parroting what others say.

Even Zhang Qiyuan, the master of Kunlun who has lived for hundreds of years, and the master of Penglai and the Tomb Raider Sect.

They have never witnessed what being struck by thunder really entails.

It’s not just someone being unfortunate enough to die in a thunderstorm, but a targeted and forceful act, which truly defines being struck by thunder.

At this moment.

These people who have lived for centuries finally witnessed it.

A bizarre celestial phenomenon.

A surreal electric grid.

A vortex of lightning taking shape.

An electric pillar striking down from the vortex.

Aimed at one person, the Six Paths!

Clearly, this is the best interpretation of being struck by thunder!

As the electric pillar struck down.

Zhang Qiyuan panicked, isn’t benefactor Six Paths an Immortal?

How could an Immortal suffer such punishment?

It wasn’t just him; the entire Kunlun Sect, along with Penglai and the Tomb Raider Sect, were all shocked.

They naturally did not understand the relationship between an Independent Immortal and heavenly punishment.

Facing this scene, they could only think that Six Paths’ slaughter provoked Heaven’s displeasure!

Yes, Heaven’s displeasure; this is the best explanation, and the only one that makes sense!

Standing under the pouring rain.

Six Paths, outside the ruined pavilion, was not touched by the rain.

When the thunderbolt struck down,

He did not dodge, knowing it would be futile.

Yet instinctively, he looked toward Qin Fan.

This gamble concerning cultivation and life, he had already gone all-in.

Now, he could only await the revelation of Qin Fan’s trump card.

At the moment the heavenly punishment descended.

His previously anxious and frantic state of mind suddenly became calm.

That anxious disposition of gain and loss seemed to vanish entirely.

Is this another breakthrough in his state of mind?

Six Paths quietly asked himself this question.

He closed his eyes slowly after casting a glance at Qin Fan.

Dismissing his defense.

Under the backdrop of impending heavenly punishment.

Feeling the rain washing over him, his sea of consciousness was crystal clear!

"Prison Fire Stick!"

In the destroyed pavilion.

Just as the thunder struck.

Qin Fan flashed out from the pavilion.

His body soared and hovered above Six Paths’ head.

Swish-!

Amid his shout.

The Prison Fire Stick, radiating flames, suddenly appeared and pierced horizontally into Qin Fan’s outstretched palm.

With the appearance of the Prison Fire Stick, the rainwater around Qin Fan evaporated instantly, abruptly turning dry.

Noticing that Qin Fan had taken action.

Six Paths opened his previously closed eyes.

Reflexively, he looked up.

Upon seeing the image of Qin Fan holding the Prison Fire Stick above him,

He involuntarily opened his mouth, his previously calm expression stirring!

He did not know what method Qin Fan would use, nor did he know what Qin Fan was holding.

But he was well aware of the significance of Qin Fan’s actions.

If he couldn’t resolve this heavenly punishment, he would undoubtedly fall before himself!

Is it necessary to go so far?

At this moment, Six Paths was moved!

"Demon-slaying Prison Fire Stick, today I, the Heavenly Venerate, will use it to vanquish the heavens!"

High above Six Paths.

Qin Fan suddenly laughed wildly and cried out.

Facing the descending heavenly punishment.

He had just shouted these brazen words and then, with one hand gripping the Prison Fire Stick, charged toward the thunder pillar with its boundless destructive force!

"Is he crazy?!"

In the distant hills.

Upon seeing this scene, both the master of the Penglai and the Tomb Raider Sect cried out in shock.

Their faces were painted with fear.

They had not yet recovered from the sudden appearance of the Prison Fire Stick and were met with Qin Fan’s insane move.

In these rapidly-refreshing worldviews, they even started worrying for Qin Fan.

Vanquishing the heavens, can the heavens be vanquished?

Heaven’s will, can heaven’s will be defied?

Is it possible to save the damned from Heaven’s grasp?

The two sect masters didn’t know if it was possible, but at this moment, their faces turned pale.

As if they were experiencing it themselves.

"Boss!!!"

In the ruined pavilion, an old man from Kunlun stumbled out.

Upon seeing Qin Fan fly to meet the thunder in the sky, he instinctively shouted.

But now, Qin Fan had no leisure to consider anything beyond the heavenly punishment.

In the blink of an eye, the Prison Fire Stick in his hand was within mere inches of the heavenly punishment thunder.

"Back off for me!"

In the instance where the stick touched the thunder.

Qin Fan screamed fiercely.

As the Prison Fire Stick contacted the heavenly thunder.

The True Yuan within his body surged wildly.

Seemingly entering a state of unity between man and stick.

The other hand flashed out and slapped the other end of the stick upward hard.

True Yuan fully unleashed.

Boom!!!

A terrifying commotion erupted, more alarming than a nuclear explosion mushroom cloud.

In the explosion, it seemed as if the earth shook and the sky trembled!

Below.

Aside from Six Paths.

Everyone shook.

Not just them, the entire Jinling shook slightly at that moment.

Fortunately, the duration was short.

Accompanied by the sound of the explosion.

The heavenly punishment thunder dissipated without any force.

Correspondingly, Qin Fan’s suspended body was also shaken down several inches!

Yet this was not over.

Heavenly punishment, meant to destroy those who violate the heavenly rules, would not cease just like that.

In the sky vortex of thunder and lightning.

Following the dissolution of the first heavenly punishment, a second one surged forth.

And its momentum was evidently doubled compared to the first.

Qin Fan, who was prepared for this, was not surprised.

After all, he who had battled countless times with heavenly thunder, could not be unaware of the old heavens’ erratic routines?

"Boom-!"

The second heavenly punishment burst forth from the vortex, its force and speed both remarkably increased.

An eerie blue lightning.

A gold-red stick.

They both radiated dazzling light.

The next moment.

In the overcast sky, another battle like spear and shield ensued.

Without a Vajra, don’t take on porcelain work.

Pushing Six Paths to break his own vow to defy the Heavenly Dao, Qin Fan surely had confidence.

The second layer of heavenly punishment thunder came quickly, and went just as fast.

Yet the boom reverberated, making the heavens and earth sway once again.

Moreover, its intensity was only stronger than before!

This was merely the second layer.

If all nine layers fell, what state would Jinling be left in?

Thinking about this.

Qin Fan, with a somber expression, bit his teeth.

Without waiting for the third heavenly punishment thunder to launch.

He soared upward again.

Admittedly, this would minimize societal loss.

But equally, the closer the distance, the more formidable the celestial thunder!

Yet he had no choice but to take this risk.

If his actions caused the entire Jinling to fall into catastrophe, even if he could resolve this heavenly punishment, he would never be at ease.

Although Qin Fan usually scoffed at the term Saint, he was not so pathological as to let millions of living beings suffer because of him!

"Young friend Qin!!!"

Below.

Upon seeing Qin Fan’s actions.

Six Paths, being an Independent Immortal, knew exactly what Qin Fan intended to do.

This shout was incredibly hysterical.

Eyes that hadn’t experienced tears for hundreds of years gradually turned moist.
