The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 1373 - 710: The Ferocity of Huaguang Martial Art, Divine Artifacts in Chaos in the Capital

Wu Family Village, Wu Family Martial Arts Arena.

At the end of the night and the beginning of dawn (four in the morning), it is the time when Yin turns to Yang.

The sky is overcast with dark clouds, pitch black, and the morning breeze carries a faint scent of a thunderstorm.

Wu Ba bared his upper body, his muscles bulging and intertwined. He slightly bent his knees into a horse stance, posing in the Eight Extremes Fist style.

With his physique, the stance he took was almost like that of a Dharma Protector Vajra.

However, at this moment, he was trembling all over, his entire body hair standing on end.

"What are you afraid of?!"

Next to him, Wu Zun saw this, and immediately barked angrily, his whiskers and beard bristling.

"'Five Thunders Strike' is the strongest martial art of Huaguang. If you can't learn it, what talk is there of inheritance?"

"Come, Step Gang, Binding Spell, follow my chant!"

"Heavenly Five Thunder Masters, Earthly Five Thunder Generals... I obey the decree of the Huaguang Ancestor, break evil and destroy banes, hurry in accordance with the command!"

As Wu Zun spoke, he stepped Gang and stomped, chanting mantras.

Unlike the Magician casting spells, he only used one hand for mantras while posing the Mountain Collapsing Style.

Rumble~

As the spell was cast, there was a muffled thunder rumbling overhead.

Wu Ba heard this, and his body trembled as he gazed at the sky, a flicker of fear in his eyes.

Crackle~

At the same time, arcs of electricity appeared on Wu Zun's arm.

He turned smoothly, slicing his palm into the air on the left.

With a loud rumble, the adobe wall crumbled down, its power akin to a Divine Fire Gun.

"Good..."

Sha Lifei intended to cheer but swallowed half a word fearing to interrupt.

Li Yan's expression was still grave.

The thunder in the sky was certainly not summoned by Wu Zun.

Such a large-scale spell requires the cooperation of a large magic platform, favorable timing, geographic advantage, and harmony with people; no matter how high one's Dao, it's impossible alone.

This weather was chosen to better attune Wu Ba.

But clearly, Wu Ba's state was somewhat off.

"Come!"

After the demonstration, Wu Zun turned and shouted loudly.

Wu Ba gritted his teeth, a crimson gleam in his eyes, forcibly stepping Gang and stomping, chanting mantras:

"Heavenly Five Thunder Masters..."

Pop!

Just as he uttered the "Thunder" character from "Heavenly Five Thunder Masters," his throat spewed black blood, and the ground beneath him cracked with a snap.

Simultaneously, with a crackle above, thunder struck directly.

Fortunately, Li Yan was prepared, and as he sensed the Thunder Astral, the Soul-hooking Thunder Rope already whistled out.

The descending thunder was instantly absorbed by the Thunder Rope.

In the eyes of the surrounding people, they only saw Li Yan suddenly raise his hand, a twenty-meter long thunder condensed and then quickly dissipated.

Since absorbing Thunder Astral and being able to slowly condense thunder, Li Yan no longer specially sought thunderstorms for replenishment.

By chance, however, he completely replenished Thunder Astral.

But in the eyes of others, it seemed like something else.

Wu Zun was initially shocked, then somewhat annoyed, saying in a deep voice, "You're capable, you teach!"

Evidently, he thought Li Yan was showing off, using Thunder Technique to outshine him.

"Senior misunderstood."

Nodding solemnly, Li Yan stepped forward, "I did not summon the thunder."

He took out healing pills from his pocket and pushed them directly into Wu Ba's mouth, "Don't force it, lest your organs get damaged."

Wu Zun also noticed Wu Ba's condition, frowned, "Just started the Thunder Technique and you're injured?"

Not finishing the sentence, he realized suddenly, shaking his head and sighed, "It was my mistake. Your lineage likely isn't aligned with Thunder Technique."

Everyone understood his implication.

Wu Ba was a Human Goblin, born from women captured by Mountain Demons.

Human Goblins have no reproductive ability, so when the Mystical Sect later eradicated those Mountain Demons in Shennongjia, they left them to live or die on their own.

Even without unforeseen events, this group couldn't escape the fate of extinction.

It can be said that Wu Ba's presence here is entirely serendipitous.

He has Innate Divine Strength, deriving from the Mountain Demon bloodline in his body, but he is still a "freak," inherently restrained by thunder.

If he forcibly practices, he will only get injured.

Carelessly, a Heavenly Thunder could erase him thoroughly.

"Forget it, forget it!"

Sha Lifei quickly chimed in upon hearing, "Let's not learn this Thunder Technique, those two moves are enough!"

Surprisingly, Wu Zun did not get angry after hearing it, but pondered for a moment, "Very well, practice 'Secret Strike' and 'Counter Strike' once for me."

"Yes!"

Wu Ba's injuries weren't serious, and after taking the elixir made from Spiritual Medicine, he improved long ago and instantly got up.

Once more, he stepped Gang and stomped, chanting, "I cleanse myself with the sun, refine my truth with the moon... repel evil and myriad filth, purify through water, hurry in accordance with the command!"

After chanting, he clenched his fists and suddenly pressed downward, causing his muscles to immediately swell.

Li Yan could smell the Gang Qi circulating around his body, like the Iron Vajra in a temple.

Bang!

Before he could speak more, Wu Zun furiously struck, slapping Wu Ba's chest.

A dull sound rang out, but Wu Ba remained motionless.

"Good!"

Wu Zun nodded approvingly, then rotated his body, lowered into a horse stance, and suddenly raised his elbow.

With a dull thud, Wu Ba's massive body flew out, directly collapsing the adobe wall.

Through the dust, Wu Ba emerged covered in dirt, albeit disheveled, but unharmed.

"Not bad."

Wu Zun finally revealed a satisfied smile, "The Heavenly Dao has its balance. You have Innate Divine Strength; this 'Secret Strike' technique is stronger than anyone else's."

The "Secret Strike" method is also a critical part of Huaguang Sect Martial Art, emphasizing defense.

Somewhat like Hard Qigong, once performed, it can empower the flesh with Astral Bane Qi, making it impervious to weapons.

Receiving the encouragement, Wu Ba finally showed a silly grin, then once more stepped Gang and stomped, chanting, "Heavenly Thunder God, Earthly King Yan Spirit, Master and Generals together emerge... Counter Strike, reverse disparage hurt self, hurry in accordance with the command!"

No sooner had he finished than Astral Bane Qi flowed once more.

Wu Zun didn't say a word, striking again, his fists light and agile.
