Chapter 2733: Chapter 2708: City Lord of Blackwater City! Zhao Wuji!

Tai Yi left, and Lin Bai said to Lin Ye: "Lin Ye, just wait here for me, don’t wander around."

Lin Ye looked up at the Lake Pavilion. Through the thin veil inside the pavilion, Lin Ye could faintly see a middle-aged man inside, emitting a tremendous wave of power.

Lin Ye held onto Lin Bai, his pupils filled with a look of terror, evidently frightened by the old City Lord Zhao Wuji.

Lin Bai comforted him: "No worries, just wait here for me."

Lin Ye looked at Lin Bai with some concern, but then he let go of Lin Bai’s arm.

Lin Bai stepped forward, came to the outside of the Lake Pavilion, cupped his hands, and said: "I’m Lin Bai, here to greet the City Lord."

Inside the Lake Pavilion, the surrounding veils fluttered in the breeze, and Lin Bai could vaguely see a middle-aged man sitting in the pavilion, drinking alone!

"Come in and speak!"

Zhao Wuji’s voice was deep and hoarse.

"Yes." Lin Bai responded, walked toward the Lake Pavilion, lifted the veil, and saw Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji sat on a mat inside the pavilion, with a small table in front of him, holding a wine jug and two cups, and at this moment he was drinking from one of them alone.

When Lin Bai saw Zhao Wuji, he was surprised to find Zhao Wuji’s complexion pale, not the kind of pale from severe bleeding due to injury, but as pale as a corpse.

Pale and frightening!

Lin Bai’s heart wavered, he walked to the opposite of Zhao Wuji and sat down.

Zhao Wuji picked up the wine jug, poured a cup for Lin Bai, and softly said: "I heard that your talks with the Zhao family collapsed? You don’t want to assist the Zhao family, do you?"

While pouring wine, Zhao Wuji immediately spoke.

This straightforwardness caught Lin Bai somewhat off guard.

Lin Bai nodded with a smile and said: "Originally, I was not a warrior of Black Water City, just a passerby here. I’m not willing to get involved in the power struggles within Black Water City!"

"But I did not explicitly refuse the Zhao family!"

"I said, whoever can give me the ’Post-celestial Divine Thunder Technique,’ I can work for them in the Dragon City Battle!"

"Since the City Lord wanted to see me today, the head of the Zhao family must have told you my request, right?"

The old City Lord filled a cup with wine and handed it to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai received it and took a gentle sip.

The old City Lord Zhao Wuji said: "You want the Houtu Divine Thunder Skill, that matter is too harsh, basically impossible to accomplish, pick another!"

Lin Bai put down the cup and said softly: "Besides that, I have nothing else to ask for in Black Water City!"

"Without the Houtu Divine Thunder Skill, I won’t help any family!"

The old City Lord Zhao Wuji laughed and said: "The Houtu Divine Thunder Skill, Houtu City, Wang Family..."

"Lin Bai, do you know how these injuries on me came about?"

Lin Bai frowned and shook his head.

When Lin Bai arrived at Black Water City, he heard about Zhao Wuji’s mortally wounded situation.

But until today, Lin Bai still didn’t know why Zhao Wuji was injured.

Zhao Wuji coldly laughed, and in front of Lin Bai, he uncovered the clothes on his chest.

Lin Bai looked up and saw Zhao Wuji’s chest, blackened and the flesh inside rotted, unable to heal!

Seeing this injury, Lin Bai immediately frowned.

This seemed to be caused by some kind of thunder strike.

Zhao Wuji showed Lin Bai and then said: "This injury was left by an ancestor of the Wang family!"

Lin Bai curiously asked: "Was it Divine Thunder?"

Zhao Wuji laughed and said: "It’s the Five Thunders Righteous Method!"

"Five Thunders Righteous Method?" Lin Bai frowned, puzzled.

Zhao Wuji said: "Lin Bai, when I heard your identity in the Fighting Arena, I also had the Fighting Arena and the Zhao family investigate you!"

"When you claim to be a passerby in Black Water City, I understand this. I also guessed you came to Black Water City for the ’Black Water Divine Thunder Skill!’"

"Plus, you have performed ’Qingmu Divine Thunder Formula’ in the Fighting Arena!"

"So, you are now cultivating two types of Divine Thunder, one the ’Black Water Divine Thunder Skill,’ and the other ’Qingmu Divine Thunder Secret Skill!’"

"And you now so eagerly want the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’"

"Clearly, you know this set of cultivation skills! Is that right?"

Zhao Wuji said.

Lin Bai smiled as if half understanding, neither admitting nor denying, ambiguous.

Zhao Wuji continued: "Since you know this set of skills, you should be aware it’s derived from the ultimate technique of the ancient Five Elements Sect, called the ’Scripture of Five Elements.’"

"Scripture of Five Elements, has the Foundation Chapter, Divine Thunder Chapter!"

"The Foundation Chapter is the root of the Scripture of Five Elements. Warriors who haven’t cultivated the Foundation Chapter, forcibly cultivating the latter sections, are undoubtedly seeking their own death!"

"In the second volume of Scripture of Five Elements, Divine Thunder Chapter, it is divided into five volumes, ’Qingmu Divine Thunder Secret Skill,’ ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill,’ ’Black Water Divine Thunder Skill,’ ’Blazing Fire Divine Thunder Skill,’ and ’Golden Divine Thunder Skill!’"

"And in ancient times, within the second volume of Scripture of Five Elements ’Five Elements Divine Thunder Scripture,’ there was a martial technique that could harness the five types of Divine Thunder to the extreme! That’s considered the Five Thunders Righteous Method!"

Zhao Wuji slowly narrated to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai listened earnestly, although he cultivated the ’Five Elements Divine Thunder Scripture,’ his understanding of it was not deep.

"Five Thunders Righteous Method is the ultimate secret of ’Five Elements Divine Thunder Scripture,’ also the only divine martial technique within it, extremely powerful. Once performed, the Five Thunders Strike the top, annihilating gods and men alike!"

"Warriors hit by Five Thunders Righteous Method will have injuries that cannot heal, wounds that cannot improve, meridians that cannot reconnect, dantian that cannot be repaired..., in other words, once the Five Thunders Righteous Method hits an enemy, they will die for sure, even if they survive narrowly, they will inevitably die due to worsening injuries!"

"Just like me now!"

Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly.

Lin Bai, hearing this, asked in surprise: "The injury on your chest, City Lord, is left by Five Thunders Righteous Method?"

Zhao Wuji said: "The ancestor of the Wang Family in Houtu City shared fortunes with us, Black Water City only obtained the ’Black Water Divine Thunder Skill,’ while the Wang Family not only got the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill,’ but also mastered the only divine martial technique within the ’Five Elements Divine Thunder Scripture,’ the Five Thunders Righteous Method!"

"Therefore, although few warriors from the Wang Family now cultivate ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill,’ they still won’t teach ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’ to outsiders because they know better than anyone the terror of this Divine Thunder, they know better than anyone the terror of... the Five Thunders Righteous Method!"

Zhao Wuji said.

"A year or two ago, Houtu City had some minor troubles, intending to invade Black Water City, to annex it, and at that time, I was hit by an ancestor of the Wang Family who cultivated Divine Thunder Skill, using the Five Thunders Righteous Method!"

"Though the Eight Great Clans banded together and repelled the Wang Family, seriously injuring them!"

"But my injuries can no longer be reversed, I can only watch myself die!"

Zhao Wuji said in a low voice.

Lin Bai took a deep breath, solemnly looking at Zhao Wuji.

"I told you these not to gain your sympathy, I just want to tell you, no one can take the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’ from the Wang Family’s hands!"

"You want the Houtu Divine Thunder Skill, even if you beg the Wang Family on your knees, they won’t give it to you!"

"So, if you are willing to help the Zhao family, you can change the requirement, I can represent the Zhao family to satisfy your needs as much as possible!"

Zhao Wuji said to Lin Bai softly.

Hearing Zhao Wuji’s words, Lin Bai fell into silence!
