Chapter 241 The Candidate for the Witch King (23)

"Attack me with my lightning magic? You're just showing off your skills before an expert!"

Just as the "thunder arrows" were about to fall, Wu Yi finally made his move.

boom!
Suddenly, Wu Yi flicked his sleeve, and steel needles shot out from his palm.

Those steel needles grew taller in the wind and quickly transformed into huge iron pillars that shot into the sky.

The next second, those iron pillars seemed to act like lightning rods, actively drawing away the lightning arrows and channeling their power directly into the earth.

Rumble…

In an instant, the mountains trembled and the earth's crust cracked.

The immense power of the Gaoyao Lord nearly destroyed the mountain, yet it left Wu Yi and Xiao Yue completely unharmed.

"The predecessor of this lightning spell was the lightning-summoning spell..."

"How do you think the Great Xia wizards of three hundred years ago cast lightning-summoning spells?"

With a slight smile playing on his lips, Wu Yi spoke calmly yet arrogantly.

Three hundred years ago, the concept of "thunder magic spells" did not exist in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The "lightning-summoning spell" cast by the great shaman was precisely to draw lightning from heaven and earth through these iron needles.

Anyone hit by that iron needle will inevitably be struck by lightning.

Of course, this also means that there is a major prerequisite for casting the "Thunder Summoning Spell" - that is, there must be thunderclouds first.

Perhaps it is precisely because of these stringent usage conditions.

The "Lightning Spell" was eventually abandoned by the great shamans as a useless skill.

Nowadays, perhaps only the sovereign ruler of the world, who is known as the "Witch King," knows how to cast such an obscure spell.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate..."

With a soft whisper, Wu Yi once again flicked his sleeve, retracting the iron pillars rooted in the earth.

"Let me see who you really are!"

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Dozens of kilometers away, on the hills of Zhenhe Peak.

Gōyāo-jūn stared in astonishment at the lightning bolts that had suddenly vanished, but quickly realized what had happened.

"A Thunder Arrow can be neutralized like this?"

Instead of confronting it head-on, they directly guided the Thunder Arrow into the ground.

The power of the Thunder Arrow was also channeled into the ground, failing to harm the target that Kouyao-kun truly intended to attack.

"What about the flaming arrows?"

"Can you really resolve this like that!?"

With a soft murmur, Kouyao once again assumed the posture of drawing his bow and shooting an arrow.

Unfortunately, before Gao Yaojun could draw talismans with his remaining two arms, a bolt of lightning flashed past his feet.

"I see, is this the improved usage by that prophet?"

With his entire body paralyzed, Takao could only open his eyes wide.

He stared in disbelief at Wu Yi and Xiao Yue, who had appeared out of nowhere beside him.

"If the prophet himself were to cast these spells, I might be a little worried."

“But you clearly don’t understand the essence of these spells; you’re just blindly copying them, not even worthy of being called a ‘good student.’”

With just a gentle touch to Gao Yaojun's body, Wu Yi dispelled the gathering flames.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yue kicked Gao Yao Jun hard, knocking the tall giant to the ground.

boom!
The giant fell to the ground, the great bow dropped, instantly stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Stop! This is just a misunderstanding!"

Just as Xiao Yue charged forward again, ready to kill Gao Yao Jun in a fit of rage, a cry of alarm suddenly came from the water beside them, accompanied by a deep, rumbling sound of the earth shaking.

"you are?"

He also reached out to stop Xiao Yue from making any further moves.

Wu Yi immediately turned around curiously and looked at the huge figure that was gradually emerging in the stream.

It was a water buffalo, a bull-shaped deity with a single horn.

Compared to the giant buffalo, this one-horned buffalo is not particularly large.

However, as He slowly emerged from the water, a deep, earth-shaking sound arose, accompanied by the rhythmic trembling of the ox's hooves.

hum!hum!hum!
It's as if the one-horned buffalo is deliberately displaying its power, yet it also seems like the earth is simply responding to its call.

“My name is Unicorn, and I am the prophet’s mount.”

"The prophet foresaw your coming, so he called me here in advance to clear up any misunderstandings."

With a seemingly innocent glance, the unicorn's voice sounded very sincere.

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

With a half-smile, Wu Yi raised an eyebrow, not believing the unicorn's story at all.

Or rather, Wu Yi believed that the Unicorn Rhinoceros was sent by Li Boyang to meet him, but did not believe that the other party had just happened to arrive here.

"Yes, it is indeed a coincidence..."

Blinking nervously, the unicorn replied hesitantly.

Just as Wu Yi had guessed, the Unicorn had actually arrived here long ago and had noticed the attack from the Lord of the Ridge.

However, the Unicorn did not trust Wu Yi.

Because He understood the weight of the word "Witch King" better than anyone else.

In a better-case scenario, Wu Yi would take Li Boyang away and groom him to become the next "Great Xia Sovereign".

But what about the mountains and valleys in the area?
Now that these mountains and rivers have finally achieved a new order, who would want to return to the chaotic and barbaric state of the past?
Whether they are mountain dwellers or deities, who doesn't want to pursue a better life?
As for the worse outcome, that would be even more terrifying.

"Witch King" is not just a name, but also a terrifying ritual.

As far as the Unicorn knows, the birth of each "Witch King" is inevitably accompanied by the fall of countless talented young men and the death of sorcerers and wizards.

It is precisely because of this ritual, which is almost like raising a poisonous insect.

Only the Great Xia Dynasty could cultivate beings who could truly contend with, or even crush, the gods.

At the very least, that's what the unicorn, as a deity, thinks.

Therefore, whether from its own perspective or from the perspective of the Hundred Mountains, the Unicorn Rhinoceros did not want Li Boyang to meet with Wu Yi.

"Alright! I'll just assume it's a coincidence."

"Don't worry, I won't tell that prophet these things."

After calming his tone slightly, Wu Yi glanced at the astonished Tong Yao Jun beside him before continuing.

"But I want to know what has happened to these hundred mountains in recent years?"

"Furthermore, what is that prophet's current status and position in the Hundred Mountains?"

"As a mere human being, to be able to command the willing service and tireless efforts of two powerful gods is extremely rare across the entire land of Kyushu."

Wu Yi was telling the truth. If he didn't have the identity of "Witch King," he wouldn't be able to command the gods of the Great Xia to serve him.

Moreover, simply obeying orders and willingly serving them are two completely different things.

Wu Yi seemed to see in Li Boyang a style different from that of the Great Xia Dynasty, a quality similar to that of the first Witch King.

This made Wu Yi feel that he might gain some extra benefits from this trip.
