461: Relaxed retreat

At this moment.

Shen Bei was originally chasing the Sheepskin Assassin, wanting to get information about the Mind's Eye Potion.

But unexpectedly, just as the duck was about to be eaten, an accomplice from the Apocalypse Cult appeared!

Thunder King Ye Leng slowly spread his hands, and a terrifying fluctuation emanated from his burly body. Thick chains of lightning burst forth from the Void Realm, circling and flashing around him, piercing through the air, making him look like a demon god.

His gaze fixed on Shen Bei, as if he had seen his favorite prey, full of joy and determination:

"The Sheepskin Assassin said you have the ability to manipulate electricity? Then let me see it... Don't disappoint me!"

As Lei Wang's cold and merciless words echoed, Lei Wang stepped towards Shen Bei. The rolling thunder roared like heavenly thunder striking the earth, and at the same time, a visible wave of electric light, like a tsunami, surged and swept in all directions, engulfing a several-hundred-meter radius of the urban area.

"This person also has the ability to manipulate electricity!"

Shen Bei's gaze sharpened, and he finally understood where the strange sense of familiarity from Lei Wang came from!

They were all 'electric' family members.

Although Shen Bei did not have Martial Skills or techniques related to lightning when he became a Martial Artist.

But...

The latecomers surpassed the old; did Ye Leng, who called himself Lei Wang, understand this?

Of course, more importantly...

Wasn't this a gift?

It felt like a dream returning to Shepherd Yin Hong!

The next moment.

Buzz!!

Almost at the same time, the sky above Shen Bei's head darkened. Amidst the roar of a mighty Dragon of wind and the sound of Qi explosions, a giant stone palm, the size of a small mountain, pressed down like a collapsing mountain, striking from above!

It was the Sheepskin Assassin, unable to suppress the killing intent in his heart, making the first move.

However, the Evil God Giant Statue's attack seemed fierce and difficult to resist, but such a large body's movements were simply too slow in Shen Bei's eyes. Before even the violent wind arrived, he flashed away, leaving the range covered by the giant palm.

During this process, Thunder King Ye Leng remained expressionless, not making a move, seemingly observing Shen Bei's abilities.

Boom boom boom boom!

The giant palm heavily struck the ground, causing continuous terrifying roars. Under the immense counter-pressure, the ground vibrated and shattered, and the strong undulations even made it feel as if the ground within a hundred meters had turned into a surging expanse.

Countless mud, stones, and tiny pieces of steel erupted into the air like a raging tide, and the huge tremor echoed throughout the city, like ceaseless thunder.

Amidst such an astonishing scene, Shen Bei had already left his original position, his gaze locked on Lei Wang, who was surrounded by lightning and stepping towards him not far away.

Almost at the same time, he raised his palm, and the endless electric energy within his body boiled like a tsunami, then—

Boom!

The Void Realm violently exploded, as if the gloomy sky had been completely torn apart. A majestic, violent, and destructive bolt of lightning burst forth instantly, with a maximum output power of over 300,000 volts, striking Thunder King Ye Leng's body. Terrifying electric light splashed out, forming a dazzling wave of electricity!

However, the lightning flashed and surged rapidly, but Lei Wang's figure, struck by Shen Bei's current maximum output power, stood like a majestic mountain, bathed in lightning, unmoving. It was as if he had not been struck by terrifying high-voltage lightning, but by a gentle breeze.

In the dazzling afterglow of the lightning, Lei Wang slowly raised his head, looked at Shen Bei, and a cold, disdainful smile appeared on his lips:

"You... are only capable of this?"

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

Fine electric sparks flickered. Lei Wang's body stood firm, unmoving. After taking Shen Bei's lightning strike head-on, he was completely unharmed.

Not only that, but the electric light flickering in the Void Realm seemed to be absorbed by his body like water by a sponge, rapidly surging into him. It felt as if the free-floating, not yet completely dissipated charges in the Void Realm were completely absorbed by him!

This guy... can directly absorb lightning?

How did he do that?

Seeing such an astonishing sight, Shen Bei's eyebrows furrowed sharply.

Someone being able to immune or even absorb his electrical discharge was undoubtedly far beyond his expectations.

Absorbing electric energy, Shen Bei himself could do this, but he relied on the miraculous method of Magnetic Pole Cyclone Yuan Skill.

Moreover, this method was a dead Martial Skill.

A dead Martial Skill that he had brought back to life.

Could Thunder King Ye Leng also be Cultivating this technique?

From what angle was this guy Cultivating?

This greatly perplexed Shen Bei.

At the same time, it also made Shen Bei deeply realize that the term 'dead Martial Skill' was not absolute; there were always some Martial Artists who were Prodigies.

However, Thunder King Ye Leng's direct immunity and absorption of his offensive lightning seemed even more superior, and it was entirely based on some innate ability of his, which was simply inconceivable!

"To be able to release pure lightning, that's somewhat interesting..."

Various thoughts flashed through Shen Bei's mind as Lei Wang laughed loudly with a playful expression:

"It's just a pity you're showing off before an expert!"

Buzz!

The next moment, Lei Wang pressed his right hand in the air, and an extremely condensed, winding, and dazzling pillar of electric lightning suddenly tore through the Void Realm, like a true electromagnetic cannon, radiating intense electric light as it blasted towards Shen Bei from above!

This was his signature ultimate technique, the "Lightning Plasma Cannon!" Its power was enough to instantly flatten a mountaintop!

As an executive in the capital region, Lei Wang possessed a strange ability he called the "Super-Electric Engine."

This was completely different from the "dead Martial Skill" Shen Bei had imagined.

After more than a decade of training, this ability had been developed to a level unimaginable to ordinary people.

The "Super-Electric Engine" was not so much an ability as it was an extremely special Physique. He could freely absorb and store massive amounts of electric energy. Thunder King Ye Leng had tried it before; whether it was industrial electricity or real lightning from nature drawn in by lightning rods, these violent, deadly electric energies not only couldn't harm him but would be completely absorbed and stored by the "Super-Electric Engine."

Just like a reservoir!

The stored electric energy could not only be quickly converted into life force during Cultivation but also form a special bio-current, stimulating his Physique and spirit.

And no matter what damage his body sustained, his cells would divide and regenerate at a hundred times the speed under the stimulation of the bio-current, thereby gaining super strong sustained combat and recovery abilities!

It was precisely because of this that Lei Wang was so arrogant and confident when facing Shen Bei, who possessed the ability to release lightning.

Because he was not only an Incarnation of lightning but also its bane!

"Hahahaha! As expected of Executive Lei Wang!"

At the same time, seeing that Shen Bei's sharp and unparalleled lightning attack had no effect on Lei Wang, the Evil God Giant Statue formed by the Sheepskin Assassin let out a sky-shattering roar of laughter. The mountain-sized giant palm once again stirred up a storm of wind and waves, pressing down on Shen Bei's location.

The breathtaking pillar of electric light entered his vision, and above his head was the deafening roar of the wind. Time seemed to slow down by half a beat. A certain cunning scheme rotated in Shen Bei's eyes. In the nick of time, his body burst with electric light, instantly flashing out of the attack range of Lei Wang and the Sheepskin Assassin, and streaking towards the direction outside the urban area.

Although the attack launched by Lei Wang was full of destructive power, the incoming pillar of electric light seemed to be an energy mixed with True Qi and lightning. Although its speed was extremely fast, it did not possess the speed of true lightning. With Shen Bei's current ability, he naturally responded calmly.

Lightning could be immune to with the Fifth Dimension Attribute, but the mixed True Qi could not be immune to; he still had to dodge it.

Boom!

The pillar of electric light and the giant palm missed, and amidst the dull thudding sounds, the entire street, already heavily ravaged, shattered like tofu. Buildings on both sides collapsed with a rumble, stirring up a sky full of dust.

"This kid is escaping!"

Upon instantly seeing Shen Bei flee without a fight, the Sheepskin Assassin in the Evil God Giant Statue let out an urgent roar.

"He can't escape!"
