Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 170 The Great Guardian's Sense of Security

"Let's talk about this question after you can capture me."

As he spoke, the constellation behind Master Chen flashed with dazzling light.

"Cang Lei Ji Lei death light!"

Facing this murderous lightning column, Tian Yi just uttered a word softly.

"stop!"

As soon as one word was spoken, the beam of light became motionless as if it was locked, and then disappeared in an instant.

Seeing Tian Yi crush a high-level magic so easily, the old man couldn't help but shrink his pupils and sighed:
"You can do this with such ease. I'm afraid your mental strength has reached the eighth level, right?"

"Master Chen, do you really want to fight me?"

Tian Yi felt sorry for the old man's fall and was also distressed by the current situation.
"Little guy, capture me and I will tell you all the information I know about the Black Church, including their organizational status in the South China Sea."

"Let's do it."

Feeling the other party's firm attitude, Tian Yi also hardened his heart and said coldly:
"The boy is not polite."

……

"The punishment of the Thunder Commandment is the twelve thunder punishments!"

Twelve lightning spears dropped from the sky and transformed into a gigantic lightning cage, enveloping the not-so-strong old man. The lightning fell like a thunderbolt, delivering the judgment from the Great Guardian.

When the thunder punishment stopped, except for the tablet of the Thunder Temple that was blocked by the defensive formation, all the surrounding buildings were reduced to ashes under the thunder of heaven's punishment. The severely injured old man sat on the ground powerlessly, raised his head with difficulty, and looked at the figure in front of him bathed in thunder. His emotions were extremely calm.

"As expected, I, an old man, am no match for a great guardian like you. Ahem…"

"I'm willing to accept the defeat. While I still have time, please ask me whatever you want to ask. I don't have any restrictions set by the Black Church in my head."

As the old man spoke, he spat out another mouthful of blood. He was barely breathing and it was obvious that he would not live long.

"Why did you join the Black Church? Is it just to avenge the negligence of Leicheng?"

Although Tian Yi's duty compelled him to take advantage of the old man's last moments to inquire for more information about the Black Church, emotionally he could not accept that an old man who had dedicated his life to Leicheng would do such a thing out of anger.

Immediately, the old man's words made Tian Yi's face change drastically.

"No, it's just because Saran promised me that she would find the souls of my wife and children for me and make them wake up again."

Tian Yi, who was in shock, subconsciously retorted:

"How is this possible?"

"Life and death are the laws of nature and cannot be reversed. Even the so-called resurrection magic of the Parthenon requires a complete corpse. How could the Black Church possibly have such a method?"

If it really exists, the chaos that the Black Church can cause will be huge. The resurrection magic that the Parthenon relies on for survival is not even worthy of a shoe in the face of such means.

"Haha~ Who knows?"

The old man smiled and shook his head.

"Perhaps I am old and senile, and my heart has been blinded by greed."

"Like you said, instead of believing in the god of death that even the bishops don't believe in, it's better to burn some incense to the King of Hell and pray that they will have a good rebirth."

"Ahem~ If you have any other questions, please tell me as soon as possible."

"About Saran..." Tian Yi asked halfway, but the old man suddenly waved his hand and interrupted:

"Saran and I are just collaborators. I do things for him and he helps me realize my wishes. That cautious cardinal never trusted me at all. I know basically nothing about him, and his appearance is fake. Don't waste your time on him."

"The only thing I can give you is all the information related to the Black Church in these two provinces. I can't guarantee that it will cover everything, but at least most of it. All the information is in my study. You can find a way to tear down the room and find it."

"You call this distrust?" Tian Yi was dumbfounded. The Black Church in two provinces, if this is not trust, then what is?
"Just a bunch of abandoned children."

The old man sneered and said in a gentle tone:
"I have said almost everything I need to say. I hope you can survive this disaster."

"What disaster?" Tian Yi instinctively felt something was wrong and looked at the old man, only to see the latter smiling easily and his body expanding rapidly, like a balloon that was filled with a large amount of gas in a short period of time.

"You calculated that I would attack the core of the defense formation at the Thunder Temple, so you waited here, but you didn't anticipate this at all."

"I don't need to completely dismantle the formation. It is enough to make it ineffective within a certain period of time."

"Bastard!"

Before Tian Yi's curse could be heard far away, a shocking explosion completely overturned the Lei Temple, and purple-black clouds enveloped the area hundreds of meters around the Lei Temple.

At the same time as the clouds and mists opened up, the four walls of Leicheng City discovered the problem almost at the same time.
"What's going on? Why is the defense formation closed?"

As soon as Long Yan saw the huge commotion in the core of Leicheng, he immediately discovered that the large formation that had suppressed a large number of demons had stopped working. His bad intuition came true. On the one hand, he asked his subordinates to investigate, and on the other hand, he began to dispatch a large number of military mages to defend the city.

until……

Long Yan looked at the three hundred-meter-long beasts that were speeding towards the wall of Leicheng City more than ten kilometers away, and he was immediately disheartened.

"It's over."

……

"What? The three white wave shark demon kings attacked the north wall at the same time? And the defense formation of the north wall also stopped functioning?"

Peng Ze looked in shock and anger at the Thunder Punishment Guard who was reporting this nightmare news. The latter nodded bitterly. There were three white wave shark demon kings, two small monarchs, and one sub-monarch. They might not seem to be anything among the monarch demons, but no matter how bad they were, they were still monarchs. They were not something a single super-class wizard could handle.

"Captain, please go and provide support. The Dragon Army Division is already in trouble against one monarch, and now the three twin monarchs are attacking the city together. Without the suppression of the defense formation, the Dragon Army Division and a group of high-level mages will not be able to hold out for long."

"CNM, which bastard is colluding with the demons here?"

Peng Ze pounded the city wall angrily. As soon as the formation stopped, the three-headed demon lord began to attack the city. He would not believe it even if he was beaten to death if there was no traitor.

Peng Ze subconsciously wanted to go to the north city wall for support, but suddenly he stopped, confused and uncertain. What if he left and another monarch attacked here right after him?

Pengze is now caught in a dilemma. If he goes to rescue, he will have to take the huge risk of leaving the Thunder Punishment Legion's defense line empty and being stolen by the Demon Lord. If he doesn't go, the north city wall will be lost sooner or later, and then everything will be doomed.

After thinking about it, Peng Ze's eyes lit up and he slammed his palm.
"Go back quickly. In addition to the necessary patrol guards, recruit all the mid-level and above mages in the city to the four city walls, including those mages from other places who are staying in the city. Tell them that our Leicheng will reward them handsomely after we survive this disaster."

At this moment, Peng Ze was extremely grateful that because of the Thunder Festival, Lei City now had elite mages that far exceeded its own strength. This force was several times the current defense strength of Lei City, so they would not fall into the predicament of insufficient backbone forces.

After thinking it through, Peng Ze decisively left the city wall where the Thunder Punishment Legion was located and headed straight for the north city wall. He had figured it out. Instead of worrying about whether the Siren Lord would appear here, it would be better to solve the crisis on the north city wall first.

When Peng Ze was about to leave, Tian Yi's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"You guard your own defense zone first. Leave the three shark monsters on the north wall to me and the Dragon Army Division."

"learn."

A smile appeared on Peng Ze's lips. As expected, when facing the monarch demon, the great guardian can bring the most sense of security.
