53: Chapter 53 I am the God of Thunder, Controlling Heavenly Thunder

"In the name of freedom, I borrow fire from the sun!"

"Burn away the darkness ahead!"

"Exterminate this ignorant fool!"

Rachel muttered her incantations, and the flames on her body condensed into a fire dragon, lunging toward Tai Rong to consume him.

"Ancient Muay Thai!"

Tai Rong's eyes were bloodshot; he was actually using the mysterious Ancient Muay Thai at the cost of his own life force!

As he threw the punch, his arm unexpectedly swelled several times over, like a giant's hand, slamming into the fire dragon!

Truly worthy of being a genuine A-sequence supernatural biological entity.

The fire dragon was suppressed!!!

"Pfft!"

Rachel's flames flickered out, and she spat out blood as she was sent flying, crashing to the ground like a withered stick figure.

"In the name of freedom... Bah! Hypocrite."

Tai Rong spat out a mouthful of bloody water.

He turned his gaze back to the lightning trapped within the cassock.

By now, the lightning had exhausted a portion of its energy, and its struggles were no longer as violent.

It was the perfect moment for fusion.

Tai Rong was just about to step forward!

Just then, the Jindai Bird that had previously fallen into the pit suddenly flew out again, fiercely attacking Tai Rong.

"Hm? You beast, you were playing dead!"

Tai Rong's weathered face was filled with surprise!

He had thought the Jindai Bird was no match for the lightning, but he hadn't expected it to be playing dead!

A hint of human-like contempt flashed in the Jindai Bird's eyes. It had fought the lightning in the sky and realized their strengths were evenly matched.

If they continued, the blonde woman and the monk-like fellow below might benefit.

In that case...

It was better to let the blonde woman and the monk-like fellow exhaust themselves first.

Seeing that the blonde woman had become a withered stick and the lightning's struggle in the cassock had weakened...

The Jindai Bird felt its chance had come and immediately leaped up from the pit!

Bang!

Struck by a wing of the Jindai Bird, Tai Rong's body was sent crashing into the wall like a kite with broken strings.

The Jindai Bird paced forward and knocked the cassock away, releasing the lightning. It opened its beak, swallowed the lightning, and sealed it within its body.

It was just about to take flight and return to its nest to digest it!

Tai Rong turned into a cannonball, launching himself forward at high speed. He grabbed the Jindai Bird's talons with his bare hands and pulled down with all his might.

"You want to leave? Get down here!"

Tai Rong exerted almost every ounce of strength he possessed.

To the point that blood began to seep from his body.

The Jindai Bird hadn't expected this human's willpower to be so strong.

Part of its internal strength was suppressing the lightning, and with Tai Rong's pulling, the lightning within its body surged out once more.

As the man and bird fought, a dozen more craters appeared on the street.

Jiang Chen seized the opportunity and gave the command to Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu!

"Tie Zhu, you go first."

Without a word, Tie Zhu launched himself into the air and charged toward Tai Rong.

With his back to Tie Zhu, Tai Rong was caught off guard and struck by Tie Zhu's punch.

"Pfft!"

Tai Rong spat out blood. Looking at the lifeless mecha-man before him, he was both furious and indignant. This bastard had actually launched a sneak attack!

Chirp!

The Jindai Bird was very clever; it also took advantage of the opening!

Attacked from both sides, Tai Rong was covered in wounds.

As for Tie Zhu, his body was encased in Carbon-9 Molecules, leaving him completely unscathed!

The Jindai Bird seized the chance, swallowed the lightning again, and tried to fly away.

"Tie Zhu! Catch it!"

Jiang Chen could no longer stay hidden.

With a loud shout, he also rushed out.

Tie Zhu had already locked onto the Jindai Bird. The moment it took off, he grabbed its left talon.

But the Jindai Bird was determined to leave. Even though it was caught, it still ascended into the sky, wanting to distance itself from the area quickly.

Jiang Chen stomped the ground and leaped ten meters high. Before the Jindai Bird could fully take flight, he grabbed its right talon.

The Jindai Bird ignored them, flying into the clouds and departing at high speed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Tie Zhu clung to the Jindai Bird's left talon without budging, like an iron lock. No matter how much the bird shook, it couldn't shake him off.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen used his A-sequence power to pummel its talon with all his might!

The Jindai Bird let out a pained shriek. Under the cover of the heavy rain and the dark sky, it dived sharply, aiming to crash into a nearby mountain to shake the two off.

"This won't do. At this rate, we'll end up dying together with this bird thing."

Jiang Chen held onto the right talon for dear life. The wind howled in his ears, and below him was a drop of several thousand meters.

His mind raced. Looking up, he could vaguely see the Jindai Bird's massive, menacing red eyes, which were currently staring venomously at the two 'pieces of gum' stuck to it!

Suddenly!

Jiang Chen noticed a soft part under the Jindai Bird's massive wings.

It was its armpit.

His eyes flashed!

His expression turned ruthless!

He shouted.

"Tie Zhu, go for its armpit!"

Receiving the command, Tie Zhu began to climb up!

And then...

...he began to tickle the Jindai Bird's armpit.

"Damn you to hell!"

The Jindai Bird suddenly spoke in human tongue; its voice actually bore a slight resemblance to a woman's.

Under Tie Zhu's interference, its body shook violently. Losing its balance, it crashed into a nearby mountain.

Rumble!

Rocks and stones shattered.

The lightning surged out of the Jindai Bird's body once more, attempting to escape.

Just then, Jiang Chen was the first to crawl out of the rubble. He slammed his palm down, capturing it within his hand.

Zzzzt!

Jiang Chen was shocked until every strand of his hair stood on end.

"That's quite a kick!"

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and used all his strength to firmly suppress the lightning.

Slowly!

The lightning began to shift from violent to tamed.

Just as the taming was about to succeed, the Jindai Bird flapped its wings and charged again, wanting to peck Jiang Chen to death.

Tie Zhu leaped up and grabbed the bird's talon.

Then he started climbing up again...

"Are you two even human? Even I, a bird, look down on such dirty tricks!"

The Jindai Bird was exasperated, trying to shake off Tie Zhu.

But Tie Zhu locked onto its talon firmly; it couldn't break free at all.

"Since you can speak and possess intelligence, then give up on this lightning!"

"This lightning belongs to me now."

Jiang Chen held out his hand. On his palm, the previously fierce lightning had become quite tamed.

"Damn it!"

"Despicable human!"

The Jindai Bird's face was full of defiance. It had been resourceful enough this time, but it hadn't expected there to be humans even more cunning than itself!

"If you're not satisfied, I'll let Tie Zhu play with you some more."

Seeing the Jindai Bird about to attack again, Jiang Chen signaled to Tie Zhu.

The Jindai Bird instantly trembled all over. It gritted its teeth and said, "Fine! The lightning belongs to you. Just make this piece of gum get lost."

Jiang Chen smiled, pressing the lightning into his palm. He looked around and said, "Since you brought us to this godforsaken place, you'll have to take us back the way we came!"

"Don't even think about using me as a mount!"

The Jindai Bird scoffed!

Jiang Chen threatened, "Ms. Jindai Bird, surely you don't want to experience that tickling sensation again?"

"..."

The Jindai Bird finally yielded.

Jiang Chen leaped up and sat on her back.

He patted her feathers and said, "There's a port in the south of Kuala Lumpur. You should know it. I'm staying at a nearby hotel."

"Damn, that's over a hundred li!"

"Ms. Jin..."

"I'll go, alright?"

Under the coercion of a certain Mr. Jiang, Ms. Jin swallowed the humiliation and flew toward the southern port of Kuala Lumpur with Jiang Chen on her back.

Meanwhile, Tie Zhu was like a time bomb, locked onto her talon the entire time.

To make matters worse, this thing's defensive power was freakish; she couldn't get rid of it at all.

Sitting on the Jindai Bird's back, Jiang Chen worked on digesting the lightning in his palm.

At first, the lightning was only suppressed and couldn't release its pressure.

As Jiang Chen slowly fused and resonated with the lightning, he gradually became able to manipulate it.

Sizzle!

Jiang Chen suddenly released lightning toward an eagle flying a hundred meters away.

The lightning flickered, and the air crackled with a series of pops. In an instant, the eagle was struck dead by the lightning.

"It's quite easy to use!"

Jiang Chen looked at the lightning in his palm, satisfied.

The Jindai Bird's eyes flickered. This person was fusing with the lightning so quickly!

"Could he be the chosen one destined to seize the heavenly lightning?"

The Jindai Bird was full of regret.

She had thought she could seize the heavenly lightning and become the legendary Thunder God Bird.

What a pity!

She was just one step away.
