Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 147 Yun Yang Shakes People
"Master, spare my life! Master, spare my life!"

Looking at the young man in front of them, who was bathed in golden light and stood unmoved by their swords and the yin energy attacking him, a man and a woman knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly and pleading for mercy.

Gu Zhao raised his hand, looking at his golden body, and felt a sense of clarity in his mind.

"The Golden Light Mantra truly lives up to its reputation as a divine incantation of Taoism; it is indeed extraordinary." Gu Zhao sighed, glancing at Zhuo Qingyan and the embroiderer who were hiding far away. "It's just that it's too overpowering in suppressing evil spirits."

It was only because Zhuo Qingyan absorbed some of the incense's divine power that Bai Ke had no malevolent aura; otherwise, just their proximity would have made her feel extremely uncomfortable, forcing her to use her internal energy to resist.

As for the man and woman before them, one is a human and the other a ghost...

The man looked delicate and frail, while the woman appeared gentle and beautiful. If it weren't for the murderous aura emanating from their souls, Gu Zhao wouldn't have been able to tell that they were actually ruthless killers.

They lure people into the mountains under the pretext of sightseeing, only to torture and kill them.

“Your hobbies are quite unique.” Gu Zhao looked at them, then raised his right hand. “I’ll give you three breaths to escape. Three.”

"Master, please forgive me..."

"two."

As soon as Gu Zhao finished speaking, the man and woman suddenly retreated. The woman transformed into a wisp of green smoke and enveloped the man. Then, the man's speed increased by three points, and he swept away into the depths of the mountain forest like the wind.

"one."

Just as the man was about to disappear into the forest, Gu Zhao snapped his fingers with his raised right hand.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning flashing blue light suddenly exploded from the sky and fell down. The man screamed, the blue smoke on his body instantly dissipated, and he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

"The Thunder Spell is so convenient!" Gu Zhao exclaimed.

The "Shenxiao Taiji Du Lei Yin Shu" also contains the Five Thunder Techniques, but unlike the "Shenxiao Yushu Zhankan Wu Lei Da Fa" where the Wind Thunder Talisman and Fire Thunder Talisman each have different functions, the "Du Lei Yin Shu" contains the Heavenly Thunder Curse and the Divine Thunder Curse, both of which are attack spells with additional attributes.

The Heavenly Thunder Spell locks onto the soul, the Divine Thunder Spell inflicts fire damage, the Dragon Thunder Spell is sharp, the Water Thunder Spell is icy, and the Earthly Thunder Spell carries the pressure of heaven and earth, as if it were the heavy earth itself.

Both involve drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to create thunder, but incantations consume slightly more mana, while casting them is relatively convenient and quick.

Gu Zhao tried them all and felt that each had its own merits, making it really difficult to choose!

Thinking this, Gu Zhao stepped onto the Dipper constellation, formed hand seals, and chanted an incantation, "Bright flames blaze, illuminating the distant splendor. The golden light shimmers, the wind fills the nine heavens. Command!"

The next moment, lightning struck down, igniting a raging fire that burned the man who had just been killed to ashes before slowly extinguishing itself without affecting the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees.

The Southern Three Qi Mantra: Yang Thunder Generates Fire.

The Northern Five Qi Mantra: Yin Thunder Generates Water.

This is also the thunder magic that he can use in the "Book of Hidden Thunder," but thunder magic is the guide, and water and fire are the means of application. Strictly speaking, it is actually fire magic and water magic.

Whether it's burning or flooding, both are good ways to destroy evidence.

However, what Gu Zhao valued was not these two spells, but the Five Thunder Technique, which was a more advanced technique in the book: the Five Directions Yang Thunder Spell, also known as the Yang Five Thunder.

The corresponding one is the Five Directions Barbarian Thunder Spell in the "Five Thunder Slashes Method," which is similar but different.

Besides its function of defeating enemies and dispelling evil, the Five Directions Yang Thunder Mantra also serves as an aid in cultivation, similar to the Golden Light Mantra. The Five Directions Savage Thunder Mantra, however, is primarily for attack and destruction, making its offensive power even greater than the Yang Five Thunder Mantra. Truly worthy of being called the Five Thunder Slaying Technique!

Sensing the malevolent energy absorbed by the Five Thunder Token in his sea of ​​consciousness, Gu Zhao dispelled the Golden Light Spell and turned to the two women, saying, "I hope this hasn't affected your mood for enjoying the scenery."

Zhuo Qingyan shook her head calmly, while the embroiderer made a fierce face at them, "You've harmed people!"

Gu Zhao looked around, "But the place they chose is really good."

This is a place between Xiuyue County and Chongguang County.

Yesterday, while Gu Zhao and his companions were searching for evil spirits and sightseeing in Xiuyue County, the Five Thunder Token received a message from Yun Yang that they had encountered a monster hiding in a pool of water, exuding a strong malevolent aura.

Yun Yang fought with the monster, who was roughly equal to him in strength, but the monster possessed a magical artifact that it used to defend itself in the water. Yun Yang couldn't take it down, so he thought of Gu Zhao who was working in Xiuyue County and asked Gu Zhao for help.

So Gu Zhao arrived and encountered the couple on the way. Since he had plenty of time, he decided to spend some time with them. However, they seemed a little impatient, so Gu Zhao had to send them away early.

The group lost interest in continuing their tour, took a quick look around, and then left the forest. They boarded a carriage waiting by the official road and headed towards Chongguang County. Soon they arrived in Chongguang County and found Yunyang waiting for them at the county inn.

"You're not good enough!" Gu Zhao teased.

Yun Yang said helplessly, "He hides in the water at the drop of a hat, creating waves to block me. He also has a magic weapon that can gather water into shape. I really can't defeat him."

Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhuo Qingyan, "You're good at playing in the water!"

Zhuo Qingyan was originally a vengeful ghost who had been alive for a hundred years. Although she was temporarily unable to cultivate Taoist magic, she had gained something from listening to the explanations of cultivation concepts by several old Taoist priests. Recently, she had also absorbed a lot of incense power, which further enhanced her strength. In terms of Taoist cultivation alone, she was even above Yun Yang.

Upon hearing Gu Zhao's words, he nodded and said, "I will try my best to force him to come up."

Since the other party was, after all, a water monster, Zhuo Qingyan didn't speak too definitively.

After leaving Li Erping at the inn, the group set off again, heading northeast from the east gate of Chongguang County. They soon entered the mountains and followed the mountain path into a secluded valley.

"How did you find this place?" Gu Zhao couldn't help but ask.

This secluded valley is far from villages and towns, and ordinary people would not come here. Even if there are spirits hiding in the mountains and fields, they are mostly not evil and are not their targets.

Yun Yang replied, "The price of firewood in the county has become more expensive. I heard from a firewood vendor that several woodcutters have recently gone missing in the mountains, so I asked him and found out about this place."

"Great!" Gu Zhao exclaimed.

Yun Yang pointed ahead, "This valley is quite deep. After another bend, there is a cliff and a waterfall behind it. The monster is hiding in the pool. When I got to the edge of the pool, it tried to pull me into the water."

Just as Yun Yang finished speaking and was about to continue his introduction, a loud bang suddenly came from in front of him, along with a surge of magical energy, accompanied by bursts of demonic power spreading outwards.

"Huh? They've started fighting?"

"Someone got there first?"

The group exchanged glances, fell silent, and quickened their pace. They soon rounded the last bend and arrived at the deepest part of the valley, where they peeked out from behind an old tree to investigate.

As you look out, this secluded valley is quite large, lush and verdant, surrounded by gentle slopes and sheer cliffs. At the very front is a cliff several tens of meters high, with a waterfall cascading down in three sections into a pool below.

Meanwhile, a woman was half-floating on the surface of the pool, confronting two men on the shore.
