153: One strike and the enemy is defeated! A B-level expert is no match for him?

"Boom—!!!!!"

A black-purple bolt of lightning, piercing the heavens and the earth, struck the road in front of the coffee shop!

That lightning did not descend from the sky.

It spanned across from the top of a spire a thousand meters away!

The lightning exploded, sending shattered stone flying!

A gully was carved into the ground, extending straight to Tianshu's feet!

"Sizzle—"

A wisp of smoke rose from the tip of Tianshu's leather shoe.

He pulled his foot back and retreated ten meters, looking toward the direction the lightning came from—the spire in the Central Plaza—with shock and uncertainty.

The voice that had sounded in his mind was not an illusion!

"Touching my person..."

"Did you fucking get my permission?!"

The voice was no longer an echo in his mind, but transformed into rolling sound waves that exploded across the entire street!

In Su Wanqing's blurred vision, a figure materialized from the electric light.

He stood between her and Tianshu, his back facing her.

His physique was not particularly robust, yet he blocked all the storm and killing intent outside.

Lin Yuan!

It was him!

Although it was only a back view, Su Wanqing would never mistake him.

Wasn't he... wasn't he acting as the "sacrifice" on the spire? How could he... "A Li?"

Tianshu's brows furrowed tightly.

"Who permitted you to leave the altar? You are disrupting the ritual!"

He still treated Lin Yuan as the pawn they could manipulate at will.

"Ritual?"

Lin Yuan smiled.

On the face belonging to "A Li," the left eye held the gloom of the earth veins, and the right eye held the golden glow of lightning, making him appear eerie and sacred.

"I am the ritual."

As his voice fell, he moved!

Lightning flashed beneath his feet, and Lin Yuan transformed into a black-purple electric current, carrying immense power as he punched Tianshu!

Tianshu's pupils contracted sharply, but as a B-rank Expert, his reaction speed was astonishingly fast!

He let out a cold snort, pushed his hand forward, and the power of Law formed a barrier in front of him, attempting to peel the lightning power away from reality.

Boom—!

The fist collided with the barrier, erupting in a deafening roar!

The ground beneath their feet cracked inch by inch, and the violent airflow blew away everything around them!

Tianshu was shaken half a step back by the punch, a look of horror flashing in his eyes.

"You're courting death!"

Forced back by a mere "sacrifice," Tianshu roared in anger, and the nascent Domain spread out, intending to imprison Lin Yuan!

However, Lin Yuan ignored the suppression of the Law, and his second punch, gathering the power of heavenly lightning and earth veins, was violently thrown out!

Bang—!!!

The defense Tianshu hastily set up shattered instantly!

He was entirely blasted backward, shattering the glass door and wall of the coffee shop behind him, and crashing heavily inside the store!

"Pfft—"

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Tianshu's mouth.

How is this possible?!

How could a C-rank possess this kind of power?! This power is already... On the street.

Su Wanqing stared blankly at this scene, her mind completely blank.

One strike.

It only took one strike.

That B-rank Expert, Tianshu, who had forced her into a corner where she couldn't even fight back, was... knocked flying?

"Cough, cough..."

Lin Yuan coughed twice; the violent energy surge within his body made him feel like his internal organs were burning.

[Divine Body undergoing emergency reconstruction... Remaining power: 81%]

[Warning: 'Thunder God's Descent' status consumes 20% of total power per minute. Host, please end the battle quickly!]

Damn it, it really is a trial card, and it charges by the minute.

Lin Yuan cursed internally, raised his eyes to look at Tianshu struggling to get up in the back alley, and his expression darkened.

"A Li! You're insane! Do you know what you are doing?! How dare you betray us!"

Tianshu's roar came from the ruins, filled with fury and confusion.

"A Li?"

Lin Yuan sneered and wiped his hand across his own face.

The face belonging to "A Li" dissipated like quicksand, revealing his original face.

"You old stick, you can't even tell what the person sending you off looks like?"

He walked step by step toward the back alley, electric light flickering beneath his feet.

"Take a good look and see who your daddy is!"

In the back alley, Tianshu leaned against the wall, staring at the unfamiliar face.

This face... A dusty memory fragment was dug out from the depths of his mind.

During the Qin Family operation, one of his colleagues unfortunately went missing during that mission.

And at that time, Lin Yuan had also appeared in that place... "It's you?!"

Tianshu's voice turned sharp, "Weren't you C-rank?!"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you," Lin Yuan stopped three meters in front of him, flexing his wrists, "I just leveled up, and I'm using you to test my strength."

"You're courting death!"

Humiliated by a C-rank in such a way, Tianshu abandoned his feigned elegance.

He roared in anger, and the pressure of a B-rank Expert erupted without reservation!

"Nascent Domain: All-Encompassing Stripping!"

Buzz—!

The power of Law descended once more!

Unlike when he dealt with Su Wanqing, this time, Tianshu was exerting his full power!

Lin Yuan felt a sudden tightness around him; the entire space was rejecting him.

The electric light flickering around him actually began to dim, threatening to be forcibly "stripped" away!

This is the power of B-rank? Striking directly at the level of rules?

Somewhat interesting.

"Too bad," Lin Yuan grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "in the face of power, rules... are meant to be broken!"

He looked up at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky, spread his arms, and let out a wild roar.

"Thunder God's Descent!"

"Lightning, come!!!"

Boom—!!!

In the sky, the long-accumulated thunderclouds found an outlet!

Dozens of lightning bolts stopped striking the distant spire, reversed direction, and violently slammed down toward Lin Yuan's location!

At this moment, Lin Yuan was no longer guiding the lightning.

He was the lightning itself!

"Madman! You absolute lunatic!"

Tianshu looked at the doomsday-like scene, fear showing on his face.

Drawing heavenly lightning into his body? He would explode himself first!

However, Lin Yuan did not explode.

The moment those dozens of heavenly lightning bolts poured into his body, the Qi surrounding him did not decrease but increased sharply, soaring to a level that made Tianshu tremble!

Lin Yuan's right eye, flashing with golden light, locked onto Tianshu.

"It's over."

He raised his hand, his five fingers pressed together, forming a hand-blade wreathed in lightning, and ruthlessly chopped down toward Tianshu's "Nascent Domain"!

"Break... for me!!!"
