454: Thor

Bauer said with a wronged expression, "Henry, I didn't misreport the situation. If it weren't for the timely appearance of this Lord of Thunder, what would have appeared before you would probably have been a scene of corpses strewn across the ground."

"Lord of Thunder?"

Henry glanced at Qin Shi Lei disdainfully and sneered, "What a grand title, what a grand tone!"

Bauer quickly explained, "Because we don't know this Lord's name yet, and he possesses astonishing lightning abilities, we respectfully call him the Lord of Thunder."

Qin Shi Lei interjected, "On Blue Star, when it comes to lightning abilities, if I say I'm second, no one should dare to say they're first, so it's not wrong for you to call me the Lord of Thunder."

"Pfft!"

Henry sneered, "I heard that Qin An King also has astonishing lightning techniques. I wonder how you compare to him?"

"Ah!"

Qin Shi Lei immediately felt a bit awkward.

He originally wanted to show off to quickly get into the sights of the Empire of the Setting Sun's power holders, but he didn't expect the other party to compare him to himself.

This show-off became a bit awkward.

Bauer, however, was very perceptive and diffused the awkwardness for him, "We haven't had the chance to witness Qin Shi Lei's lightning techniques, but we are very impressed by this Lord's lightning techniques.

He single-handedly annihilated tens of thousands of Silver Realm Ice Falcons in less than five minutes, and several casual lightning bolts he unleashed instantly electrocuted a Golden Four-star Shadow Moon Demon Wolf to death.

Such methods are probably not much weaker than Empress Mary's."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Henry immediately dropped the contempt from his face and scrutinized Qin Shi Lei from head to toe.

The cultivation Qin Shi Lei displayed was only Golden Four-star, which was neither high nor low.

Henry watched for a while but found that besides being handsome, Qin Shi Lei didn't seem to have any other outstanding qualities.

He said coldly, "Bauer praised you as comparable to Her Majesty the Empress. Do you dare to have a match with me?"

Qin Shi Lei said indifferently, "Whatever."

"Follow me."

Henry turned and flew out of the city.

Qin Shi Lei also got up and chased after him.

Soon, the two stopped in mid-air, a hundred meters apart.

Surrounding them were tens of thousands of Griffin Legions.

"Is that person going to compete with our legion?"

"Our Legion Commander is one of the Empire of the Setting Sun's few Golden Experts, the Empress's third general, with a formidable reputation. An unknown pretty boy actually dares to challenge the Legion Commander, he's truly asking for humiliation!"

"How many moves do you think that person can last?"

"Three moves. As long as the Legion Commander gets close, I bet he can't take three moves."

Soon, people started taking bets, but all the wagers were on how many moves Qin Shi Lei could last, with no options for Qin Shi Lei's win or loss.

"Let's begin!"

Henry said, then rapidly flew towards Qin Shi Lei.

Once on the battlefield, he would go all out; this was his principle.

Qin Shi Lei, on the other hand, stood with his arms crossed, watching Henry fly over with a leisurely expression.

As an ability user, he should have kept his distance and relied on long-range attacks to win.

Now, Qin Shi Lei allowed the opponent to get close, such an inexperienced move made the surrounding people shake their heads.

"Is that person scared silly?"

"Or is he an amateur with no experience at all?"

"He's not going to surrender as soon as the Legion Commander flies in front of him, is he?"

While everyone was discussing, Henry had already flown within ten meters of Qin Shi Lei.

The long blade in his hand was raised high, and it seemed that in the next second, he would cleave Qin Shi Lei away with a single strike.

Qin Shi Lei calmly raised his staff and pointed forward.

An arm-thick lightning bolt instantly shot from the tip of the staff towards Henry.

A scroll was instantly activated, forming an earth shield in front of Henry.

He had slain countless ability users, so he naturally had ways to deal with them.

For this, he had already taken out three defensive scrolls from his spatial ring.

When far away, he could completely rely on his speed to evade the opponent's ability attacks; when close, he could use scrolls to block attacks and then quickly approach the opponent.

Now, at this less than ten-meter distance, after the earth shield blocked that lightning bolt, he could approach the opponent with a single flash.

At that time, hehe!

An ability user, once close to a swordsman, would be at his mercy.

However, as soon as that thought arose, the earth shield in front of him instantly exploded, and the lightning bolt continued to blast towards him with undiminished power.

What's going on? Why is the power so great?

Another invisible shield appeared in front of him.

However, the shield was once again shattered without surprise.

Although Henry tried his best to mobilize the energy within his body to block his chest, the lightning bolt still blasted him back several meters.

Moreover, the paralyzing effect of the lightning made his whole body tingle, and he almost couldn't even hold the long blade in his hand.

Henry was about to dispel the lightning from his body and then counterattack with renewed vigor.

However, a flash of silver light that appeared before his eyes made his pupils rapidly constrict.

Lightning bolts, one after another, shot towards him like a machine gun.

"Ah!"

Henry only had time to let out a scream before he uncontrollably fell to the ground.

"Legion Commander!"

The few Golden Experts around him cried out in alarm and flew over, ready to rescue their superior.

However, one person was faster than them.

They only felt a blur before their eyes, then found Henry being held in Qin Shi Lei's left hand.

"Quickly release our Legion Commander."

The Evolution Experts around them shouted loudly.

Their attacks were also ready, looking as if they wanted to devour Qin Shi Lei whole.

"Here, take him back!"

Qin Shi Lei exerted force with his left hand and casually threw Henry towards the nearest Golden Evolution Expert.

The leadership of the Griffin Legion immediately flew to Henry's side, checking on him with worried expressions.

The surrounding Evolution Experts looked at Qin Shi Lei with ill intent, but they dared not unleash their attacks.

After a few minutes, Henry finally recovered, but he still needed his subordinates to support him to stand in mid-air.

He looked up at Qin Shi Lei not far away, his expression fluctuating.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was defeated by the opponent in a single encounter.

Such a great humiliation would likely spread throughout the entire Empire of the Setting Sun in less than a day.

If there was even a shred of opportunity, Henry would have ordered his subordinates to swarm Qin Shi Lei and chop him into minced meat.

However, the speed that the opponent had just displayed completely crushed that thought in his mind.

Henry took a deep breath, then laughed loudly, "You truly live up to the name of Lord of Thunder. I think you're no less capable than Qin An King.

It is truly a great fortune for Her Majesty the Empress and an honor for us that our Empire of the Setting Sun can have a Golden Expert like you."

"You flatter me!" Qin Shi Lei responded indifferently.

Henry spoke again, "May I ask your name, and are you willing to serve under Her Majesty the Empress?"

"Locke."

Qin Shi Lei's eyes suddenly showed a hint of longing, "I've long heard that Her Majesty the Empress is a woman of unparalleled beauty. I would be grateful if you could help introduce me."

"It is my honor."

Henry gestured with his right hand, inviting Qin Shi Lei to fly back towards the southwest.

Although Qin Shi Lei had left, his title of Lord of Thunder quickly spread throughout the city.
