59: Breaking the Formation

Lu Ze's gaze was fixed on the mid-air in front of him. The Spiritual Qi on his sword continued to grow, blue flames ignited, and the surrounding space trembled with increasing intensity!

The Dormant Lightning seemed to realize that the formation trapping it had been greatly weakened, and it struck the formation more and more frequently!

Lu Ze took out a Talisman. The Talisman appeared for only an instant before disappearing, and a shield enveloped the entire third floor of the Martial Skill hall!

Suddenly!

Lu Ze moved with the speed of a breath, and his sword instantly slashed out!

Fu Liang's eyes followed closely, not daring to blink, even holding his breath.

“Boom!”

Lu Ze's sword slashed out, but it didn't land on the two Talismans to the north; instead, it directly struck the spherical formation!

The spherical formation trembled in response, but the formation didn't budge an inch. Inside, the Dormant Lightning was also continuously striking.

Upon sensing Lu Ze's sword approaching, the Dormant Lightning suddenly paused.

A smile appeared on Lu Ze's lips. This Dormant Lightning was interesting.

He slightly retracted the sword in his hand, his internal Spiritual Qi still continuously erupting, while the Dormant Lightning also shrank into a small lightning point, continuously accumulating power.

The moment Lu Ze's sword slashed out, the Dormant Lightning also struck with full force, and the impact point changed from its previous location to where Lu Ze's sword was cutting!

“Boom!”

“Bang!”

Two sounds rang out simultaneously, and the spherical formation trembled even more violently.

“Spiritual Qi, rise!”

As the low shout fell, the power of Lu Ze's sword became even more formidable, and the blade continuously pressed against the spherical formation!

The Dormant Lightning's power also continuously surged at this moment, applying pressure to the point it was striking!

Two completely different forces converged at one spot, causing the formation to tremble incessantly.

“Crack!”

With a crisp sound, a crack appeared at the point where the two forces were attacking!

The two Talismans to the north instantly flared with brilliant light, and two streams of power emanated from the Talismans, injecting into the spherical formation, attempting to repair the formation immediately!

At this moment, the Spiritual Qi belonging to Lu Ze, which was stained on the blade, also permeated into the interior of the formation through the crack, converging with the Dormant Lightning.

The Dormant Lightning froze for an instant, and the continuously flaring lightning slowed down at this moment.

Lu Ze looked at the two streams of power erupting from the two Talismans and sneered, “Coming to repair it now? Too late!”

Lu Ze's figure suddenly retreated three meters, and countless Spiritual Qi rapidly condensed and compressed on his sword!

Visibly, the blade of the sword actually began to gradually bend, as if it couldn't withstand such compression of Spiritual Qi.

Lu Ze looked up, and even his eyes flickered with continuously flashing blue Spiritual Qi!

“Break, for me!”

As his words fell, Lu Ze suddenly shot out, and his sword fiercely slashed at the crack, releasing all the overlapping and compressed Spiritual Qi at this moment!

“Bang!”

The spherical formation shattered with a resounding crash!

The two Talismans to the north also vanished with it!

The Dormant Lightning immediately escaped the moment the formation shattered, attempting to leave this place!

Lu Ze was already prepared; his Spiritual Qi had long marked the Dormant Lightning, continuously tracking its movements.

Under the entanglement of Spiritual Qi, the Dormant Lightning's speed slowed down considerably!

Lu Ze immediately put away his sword, and with a movement of his body, he arrived beside the Dormant Lightning and suddenly grabbed it with both hands!

“Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!”

Pale blue lightning instantly erupted, countless bolts of lightning exploded, continuously attacking Lu Ze's hands.

An intense sensation of pain exploded in his hands, as if he had plunged them into a scalding hot oil pan.

In just a brief moment, Lu Ze's hands were ravaged by the lightning, the flesh on his palms mostly charred, and blood flowed down his arms from his hands.

Lu Ze frowned, but there was no sign of him letting go; instead, he gripped even tighter!

Lu Ze held the Dormant Lightning tightly, sat cross-legged, and began to activate the Divergent Thunder Skill in his mind!

A force somewhat similar to the Dormant Lightning's power erupted from Lu Ze's body, rapidly enveloping the Dormant Lightning!

Slowly, the Dormant Lightning began to quiet down, staying in Lu Ze's hand and no longer struggling.

However, a few beads of sweat appeared on Lu Ze's forehead, and his complexion also turned somewhat pale, as if he had consumed a lot of energy in an instant.

Although Fu Liang hadn't rested well nearby, he knew that Lu Ze had entered the critical moment of subduing the Different Lightning. If anything were to happen at this time, not only would he lose the opportunity to subdue the Different Lightning, but he might even be attacked by the Different Lightning in retaliation!

He immediately got up, forcibly consumed some Spirit Medicine, and guarded Lu Ze vigilantly, clutching his last Talisman in his hand.

This Talisman was the strongest of the three. If anything happened, this Talisman could buy Lu Ze some time!

As long as Xia Ning didn't personally arrive, he was confident he could stall!

But if Xia Ning came in person, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to act!

What Fu Liang didn't know was that, at this moment, in an office in the Demon Subduing Division of Xuanyuan City.

Xia Ning's eyes were lowered, revealing a hint of killing intent.

Across from Xia Ning was a man in a suit jacket, his hair almost completely white, with a cigar dangling from his mouth.

He clearly noticed Xia Ning's change, took the cigar out of his mouth, and asked with a smile, “Old Xia, what happened? Why the killing intent? What? Not satisfied with what I just said?”

Xia Ning took out a Talisman. The four corners of this Talisman had somehow developed slits, and in the very center of the Talisman was a large empty hole, as if it had been deliberately cut out with scissors.

“Meng Yanxing, look, what is this?”

Xia Ning extended the Talisman in his hand forward.

Meng Yanxing had known what was going on the moment he saw it, but he still took it, feigning ignorance, examined it carefully, and smacked his lips.

“What is this thing? Old Xia, how did you end up like this? Your Talismans are so old. How about this, I'll have someone get you some Talisman paper later, so you don't go out with something like this. People might think your Xia family has fallen.”

With that, Meng Yanxing stuffed the tattered Talisman into his pocket.

Xia Ning allowed Meng Yanxing to put the item away, then sneered, “What? You want to shield those few rats? It's still daytime, and they've already stolen it. If it were night, wouldn't they treat my Xia family as an unguarded place?”

“It seems I, Xia Ning, have been in seclusion for too long, allowing Xuanyuan City to forget my name from back then! These few rats, hehe, I must crush them with my own hands!”

With that, Xia Ning got up and was about to walk out.

“Old Xia, what are you saying?”

Meng Yanxing immediately stood up, “Perhaps some juniors don't understand the rules. Why be so particular? A few reprimands will do, won't they?”

Both of them now knew perfectly well that the Talisman just now indicated that the formation sealing the Dormant Lightning in the Xia family had been damaged.

Xia Ning truly didn't know who was so audacious.

But Meng Yanxing could guess with his eyes closed that it must be Lu Ze!

Thinking of this, Meng Yanxing couldn't help but give Lu Ze a silent thumbs up.

You, kid, really have guts! Even he, Meng Yanxing, didn't have this knack for seizing opportunities!
