277: Nine bolts of lightning

Hua Dieer quickly pointed at the three Dragon heads emerging in mid-air and explained in a rapid voice: "This Nine Dragon Thunder Tribulation Formation was originally created to imitate the Three-Nine Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. There will be three Lightning Tribulations in total. The first is the Three Lightning Tribulation, with three bolts of lightning; the second is the Six Lightning Tribulation, with six bolts of lightning; and the third is the Nine Lightning Tribulation, with nine bolts of lightning, with power increasing incrementally!"

She pointed to the nine indistinct Dragon shadows in the clouds and added: "The nine Thunder Dragons in this Nine Dragon Thunder Tribulation Formation represent the nine bolts of lightning corresponding to the Three-Nine Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. It is also divided into three levels: Three Dragons, Six Dragons, and Nine Dragons. You can completely judge the level by the number of Dragon heads emerging!"

Feng Ming understood after hearing this. A moment later, the three Thunder Dragons that had emerged in the sky slowly opened their massive mouths.

"Be careful! It's about to begin!" Hua Dieer's voice suddenly became tense.

Upon hearing this, Feng Ming immediately looked up and saw a series of crackling lightning arcs emerging from the giant mouths of the three Dragon heads.

The lightning arcs rapidly converged in the Dragon mouths. In less than five seconds, three bolts of purple lightning, each as thick as a bucket, descended fiercely towards the two of them, carrying destructive power.

Seeing this, Feng Ming's eyes narrowed. Without hesitation, he pushed Hua Dieer behind him and faced the three bolts of lightning, striking out with a palm.

This palm strike seemed ordinary, but it wasn't meant to clash head-on with the lightning. Feng Ming wasn't that foolish. He did this purely to draw the attention of these three lightning bolts entirely onto himself.

As Feng Ming struck out with his palm, the three bolts of lightning, which were originally striking towards the two of them, instantly changed direction, carrying an even more violent aura, and struck directly at Feng Ming alone.

Seeing this scene, Hua Dieer's heart instantly jumped to her throat, and her heart clenched tightly.

They say true feelings are revealed in times of crisis. Although Hua Dieer said she didn't need Feng Ming to be responsible, at this moment, her nervousness and worry couldn't be concealed.

She was genuinely worried about Feng Ming's safety. Once the Lightning Tribulation descended, it was like an arrow shot from a bow; it was impossible to stop midway.

The next moment, everyone, including Hua Dieer, watched as the three bolts of lightning, as thick as buckets, struck Feng Ming with a piercing whooshing sound.

Blinding lightning instantly erupted, completely engulfing Feng Ming's figure.

All that remained in everyone's sight was a vast expanse of white lightning; his figure was completely invisible.

Outside the Formation, the Black-Robed Subordinate saw this scene and immediately laughed triumphantly, fawning over the Beast Tooth Youth beside him:

"Boss! Look! This kid is definitely dead. Even a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert can easily perish from the power of the Nine Dragon Thunder Tribulation. This kid is only at the fifth layer of Nascent Soul, he definitely can't withstand this blow!"

The Beast Tooth Youth nodded in satisfaction, a cruel smile playing on his lips, as if he had already seen Feng Ming turn to ashes.

Inside the Formation, Hua Dieer's heart was in her throat. Her hands tightly clutched the hem of her clothes, her knuckles slightly white from the force.

She stared unblinkingly at the lightning, not daring to even blink, afraid that a moment of distraction would show Feng Ming being severely injured by the lightning.

Fortunately, this was only the Three Dragon Lightning Tribulation, with limited power. The three bolts of lightning quickly finished striking and gradually dissipated into the air.

And the moment the blinding lightning completely disappeared, everyone, including Hua Dieer, was utterly stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

As the lightning dissipated, Feng Ming stood unharmed in place, his clothes not even slightly damaged.

Not only that, but tiny lightning arcs also flickered on his body. Those lightning arcs flashed a few times, then slowly merged into his body and disappeared.

A moment later, Feng Ming slowly opened his eyes. In his pupils, tiny lightning arcs even flashed, before slowly returning to their original appearance.

Feng Ming looked down at his palm, gently clenched his fist, and then couldn't help but sigh, muttering to himself: "Indeed, a Formation is just a Formation. Even if it's created to imitate the Three-Nine Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, it's just a facade."

"Although it increased the density of the lightning, in terms of the quality of the lightning, it's probably still a hundred and eight thousand li away from the true Three-Nine Heavenly Lightning Tribulation!"

With that, he suddenly looked up and shouted loudly towards the outside of the Formation: "Hey! You guy hiding in the dark, is that all you've got? Where's the Six Dragon Lightning Tribulation? Where's the Nine Dragon Lightning Tribulation? If you have the guts, use them quickly! Don't dawdle here!"

"You!" Hua Dieer looked at Feng Ming, who was not only unharmed but also actively provoking the other party. She was first stunned, then couldn't help but let out a "puchi" laugh, and her hanging heart completely settled down.

At first, she was worried that Feng Ming was just putting on a brave face, but seeing him completely unharmed under the Three Dragon Lightning Tribulation, and even looking unsatisfied, she finally believed that Feng Ming indeed had a trump card to deal with it.

She looked at Feng Ming's back and couldn't help but murmur: "This guy has too many secrets. He can even withstand a Lightning Tribulation. No wonder my Innate Charm Body has no effect on him at all!"

Outside the Formation, the Black-Robed Subordinate, who had been smug moments ago, instantly turned pale, his smile frozen, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

The Beast Tooth Youth's face also darkened. He turned to look at the Black-Robed Subordinate, his eyes cold and sharp, and his tone as cold as winter ice and snow, speaking word by word: "This is what you meant by 'definitely dead'?"

He stared intensely at the Black-Robed Subordinate, his voice filled with murderous intent: "If you don't kill him, you will be definitely dead!"

The Black-Robed Subordinate saw that his Boss was truly angry and quickly waved his hands, pleading innocence: "Boss, you misunderstand, this is only the Three Dragon Lightning Tribulation. There are still the Six Dragon and Nine Dragon ones, each more powerful than the last. He won't be able to withstand them!"

The Boss grabbed his collar and cursed: "If you have the Nine Dragon Thunder Tribulation, why didn't you use it sooner? Are you using the Three Dragon one to tickle him?"

The Subordinate still argued: "How could I have known this kid's body was so tough? Don't we usually test from weak to strong according to the rules?"

The Boss slapped him right there: "Test my ass! I told you to stop reading those broken storybooks, but you wouldn't listen! Haven't you heard that villains die from talking too much? When you kill, you have to go straight for the kill!"

The Subordinate still stubbornly said: "But we're not villains, he was the one who followed first..."

"Am I the Boss or are you the Boss?" The Boss roared, and the Subordinate immediately cowered.

The Boss pointed at his nose and cursed: "Remember! Either don't act, or when you do, go for the kill. Don't drag it out like writing a novel to meet a word count! If you keep dawdling, I'll throw you in there to test!"

The Subordinate was scared witless and immediately went all out, and nine Thunder Dragons instantly began to churn in the sky.

Inside the Formation, Hua Dieer's face turned pale, and she shouted to Feng Ming: "It's the Nine Dragon Thunder Tribulation, if we can't withstand it, let's run!"

Feng Ming, however, grinned: "Where can we run inside a Formation? Besides, don't just say a man can't do it!"

You see, he possessed the Thunder Melting Art. To him, there was no difference between the Three Dragon Lightning Tribulation and the Nine Dragon Lightning Tribulation!
