LEGEND OF THE DEMON KING.
469 . BLUE FIRE RESCUE.
Whooshing sound!
The purple lightning bolts twisted the cobwebs as they hammered the sky, as if the sky had become fragmented. Then, a lightning strike fell in front of Gu Santong.
Tan Wen Hong saw the child shivering between lightning and crying, “Gu Santong, stop daydreaming and run! Don't you want to live?”
“Save ...” Gu Santong shook his head and stuttered.
“What?” Tan Wen Hong shouted.
“Save me!” Gu Santong showed his pitiful face, his eyes filled with tears.
Tan Wen Hong was shocked. Never would have thought that the great nightmare of Gu Santong was purple lightning.
He really became a child gripped by fear.
Frowning, Tan Wen Hong showed a certain grin. Then he grabbed the boy and flew away!
Wasn't it obvious she had to fulfill her request?
Tan Wen Hong had been trying all this time to have a child under him, but since the child was hard to crack, how could he succeed?
Only now.in the weakest child, the best opportunity presents itself.
This was the only reason why Tan Wen Hong dared to face the danger of saving him.
Otherwise, with his rotten character, he would not have been caught dead saving anyone!
This was the chance of a lifetime, to have the strongest in Tianyu at his command.
When the stakes are high, so are the returns. And only through this great risk could he obtain an invincible subordinate!
Tan Wen Hong laughed coldly inside, Gu Santong has kept his word for three hundred years after losing one bad bet.
Now that I saved him, wouldn't he give everything to pay me?
He-he-he, with Gu Santong behind me, let's see how that Regent Estate dared to raise a single finger at me!
Tan Wen Hong could already see the future, where seven houses were at his feet!
Too bad, what man proposes God determines. This time, the risk may be fatal!
With a shocking explosion, the fragmented sky was now completely shattered, revealing a huge black hole in the sky.
Purple lightning fell thousands, destroying whatever it touched. And the thunderstorm that was struck by lightning sent everything into that black abyss.
Tan Wen Hong was flying with all his strength when strength suddenly gripped him,
slowly suck it into the black hole. Like an invisible hand, it wanted to throw him into that endless abyss.
Heart in doubt, Tan Wen Hong added speed with his wings.
But he did not get the slightest bit of ground, falling deeper and deeper among the purple thunderstorms.
Tan Wen Hong's anxiety grew and developed and his brows were soaked. The situation turned into the worst.
So he turned to the frightened Gu Santong, “Gu Santong, we will be sucked up. Is there anything you can do?”
Gu Santong had been shivering all this time, with fear depriving even his voice.
But even if this was his normal state, his first reaction was to roll his eyes.
Oh please, you did the rescue, remember? Now you're asking me to help?
You'd think I'd shiver here doing nothing if I had a way out?
Sighing, Tan Wen Hong knew that the child was out to count, scared to death by the purple lightning. He can only rely on himself.
But everywhere he looked was purple lightning. Other than lightning, there was only more lightning.
And while the gulf suckers were doing their best to devour them among the tight lighting curtains. The lightest touch would stop their heart rate.
Is this how I will lose my bets and my life? In the Lightning Canyon?
Tan Wen Hong gritted his teeth, unwilling to give up for a second. He's still trying his hardest to get out of there.
The explosion!
Suddenly, a purple bolt smashed into his back, forcing him to spit out blood. Losing his balance, he drifted deeper into the abyss.
Wiping his blood, Tan Wen Hong rejoiced, “Thank God, this is only the 3rd Heaven purple lightning, like it belongs to brother Jiu, or I will die!”
But he did not finish his words as the second lightning fell. This time his whole body shivered.
His Diamond Sand and his unbreakable body cracked, and blood spilled from the power of lightning!
“What? Purple lightning 4th Heaven?”
Gasping for breath, Tan Wen Hong looked up to see the huge hole getting closer. And the closer it gets, the stronger the lightning.
If the 6th Heaven lightning struck him, he would be destroyed in body and soul!
Tan Wen Hong came out from his depths this time. He would die a second time at that very instant if he did not find anything, and quickly.
It was time to exert the strength he had accumulated all along!
But most importantly, the secret techniques of the Nine Serenities Secret Records could not be used that often.
Each subsequent use will sever the bond between the soul and its consciousness. After all, he was utilizing the souls of others.
There may not be another rebirth. After all the kind of grievances he needed might have vanished from the world.
Take a deep breath to calm down.
Tan Wen Hong started to think of a plan of action. He gritted his teeth and decided to grab the Thunder Skylark egg.
His initial plan was to use the newborn Thunder Skylark to control the power of lightning, he said,
and let him absorb it. Even if it could only absorb the 6th Heaven, it would give him enough time to enter into this place.
But now, he only had an egg, which probably could not receive a single glint before cracking like a melon.
But moments of despair require desperate action!
Tan Wen Hong held the egg in one hand and Gu Santong in the other,
straight for the Lightning Canyon black hole. He carefully controlled his flight as he looked for the right approach.
The explosion!
With thunder, a purple lightning streaked straight at Tan Wen Hong. His eyes narrowed and shouted, “The purple light of the 4th Heaven!”
He lifted the egg to let it take the burden.
Perhaps it was their relationship, or it was only first in its path, but the purple lightning snatched the Thunder Skylark's egg. It was as if it was acting as a beacon.
But the immense force that hit the egg made him shudder, almost breaking apart.
Tan Wen Hong used the Demon Transformation Art hastily, taking the rest of the lightning power into him and refining it!
Perhaps the egg still had some magic left in it due to some miracle,
the egg dampened the power of the lightning. Tan Wen Hong shuddered but he was not affected.
It managed to lift his mood, It can work!
But what worried him the most was the power of the purple lightning. Even with the Demon Transformation Art,
he can't fix everything. Some of his powers were not very much of a threat to him, either,
but if he let that power roam around his body, it would only get worse!
I need to find the right path inside. If the lightning does not strike me first, I will die from over exposure!
Tan Wen Hong felt numb. He sensed the places where the purple lightning was running inside him and his face became grim.
Boom~
The closer he got to the black hole, the purple lightning struck with greater intensity and frequency.
Tan Wen Hong endured the pain and persisted to this extent, but more and more impure lightning power gathered within him,
wreaking havoc. As the damage to his organs increased, blood started leaking from his mouth!
The explosion!
Another purple glint signifies a lightning fast approaching, “The purple driver of the 5th Heaven!”
This was one of the powers that could destroy even a Radiant Stage expert!
Tan Wen Hong operated the Demon Transformation Art to its fullest. Black energy covered the egg, waiting for the moment the lightning struck it to fix it.
But, lightning spread black energy in an instant. His strength flew unburdeningly through the egg and into his body.
Pffs!
Blood and gore spilled out from his mouth, Tan Wen Hong suffered a heavy blow.
He was unable to purify such a powerful lightning bolt in time and take its toll on him.
He is now on the verge of collapse. So weak that he could not handle the others.
But when it rains, it rains.
As if the attack was a curtain call, another lightning struck.
Tan Wen Hong was now pale, staring at the incoming attack bitterly.
His eyes had lost their last hope, “Eblast, another 5th Heaven purple lightning! I'm done!”
He looked at the shivering Gu Santong, and patted his head, “Who ever knew this would happen, that I would eventually die saving a child?
I mean, I wouldn't have suffered so much if I hadn't saved you. Is this my destiny, all because of greed?”
Tan Wen Hong shook his head and sighed, “But I don't regret it.
There are few opportunities that men get in life! I have failed this time, but even if it will be the next time,
I will still choose this path. I just hope... there will be next time!”
Closing his eyes, Tan Wen Hong hugged Gu Santong tightly, yet he looked quite peaceful.
He was an ambitious person, but even in the face of death, he would welcome him with open arms!
Pffs!
Suddenly, a blue flame floated from his forehead, covering the two of them in its radiance. That was when the purple lightning struck.
The strangest thing happened. When the lightning touched the flame, it melted in an instant. One could see with the naked eye how purple lightning was considered useless..
