I Have the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye in the Storm Riders

Faced with this devastating thunderbolt that could devour everything, Xu Fu merely gave a disdainful sneer, his eyes revealing a cruel, cat-and-mouse-like ruthlessness.

"Let me show you, you frog in a well, what true Five Wrath Thunder really is!"

He suddenly spread his arms, and with a terrifying speed that the naked eye could not even catch, his hands instantly unleashed a thunderous palm strike that was exactly the same as that of the raging wind and thunder!

Not only were their attack movements exactly the same, but the trajectory of their internal energy circulation was also identical.

But there is a world of difference between them:

The palm force of the raging wind and thunder was merely solidified Five Elements True Qi, while the raging thunder unleashed by Xu Fu contained endless and ever-changing Five Elements transformations!

"Boom—!!!"

The next second, the entire ice cave seemed to be facing its end.

A "Five Rage Thunder" attack, dozens of times larger and more vast than the Raging Wind and Thunder attack, surged out from Xu Fu's body!

Five distinct yet mutually reinforcing and opposing elements of thunder—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—intertwined wildly, like a five-colored thunderstorm tsunami bursting its banks, instantly illuminating the entire polar night Iceland.

The two unleashed the same devastating finishing move at the same time!

"Bang—BOOM!!!"

Two bolts of lightning, formed from the true energy of the five elements, collided violently in mid-air!

However, there was no fancy moves or stalemates; it was an absolute crushing victory in terms of skill level!

The five bolts of lightning that Xu Fu unleashed, like a chariot crushing rotten wood, utterly and irrevocably tore apart the five thunderbolts of the raging wind and thunder!

The Five Elements Thunder, still raging with undiminished power, crashed down on the chest of the raging wind and thunder like a roaring dragon!

"Snap!"

The chilling sound of ribs cracking rang out repeatedly.

"Pfft—whoa!!!"

Nu Fenglei's eyes bulged out, and he let out a desperate and shrill scream. His whole body was violently thrown out like a broken kite with a broken string.

He coughed up a mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs in mid-air, and the viscous blood mist instantly turned into red ice crystals that fell in the extremely cold air.

"boom!"

It crashed heavily onto the sheer cliff at the deepest part of the ice cave, the enormous impact creating a terrifying spiderweb-like crater several meters deep in the incredibly hard, millennia-old ice wall.

He slid to the ground like a lump of mud, his clothes torn to shreds, his body charred black, and his limbs twitching unnaturally.

At this moment, where was the slightest trace of the arrogance he had shown when he was unsealed?

Xu Fu walked leisurely to the edge of the deep pit, stepping on the broken ice and with his hands behind his back.

He looked down at Nu Fenglei, who was vomiting blood and had no strength left to even support himself, and the sinister smile on his lips grew even deeper:

"Raging Thunder, how does my original 'Five Raging Thunders' taste?"

Hearing Xu Fu's chillingly mocking words, even with his bones shattered, Nu Fenglei glared at him fiercely, roaring through gritted teeth:

"How...how could you possibly have mastered the Five Thunder Transformation Technique?!"

Xu Fu, with his hands behind his back, looked down at him and asked in return:

"How do you know I can't master your Five Thunder Transformation Technique?"

Upon hearing this, Nu Feng Lei was speechless for a moment.

Decades ago, Xu Fu coveted this unparalleled miraculous skill of transformation and extermination, but no matter what he did, he was unable to master it.

Only Nu Fenglei knew the fatal flaw in this, but because Xu Fu had slaughtered his entire family back then, he would rather be frozen alive than tell this old thief the secret of cultivation!

Seeing the surprised and uncertain look on Nu Fenglei's face, Xu Fu remained unusually calm and even took the initiative to reveal this secret that had been hidden for decades:

"Did you think I would never know that the reason I couldn't master this martial art back then was because my internal energy was incompatible with the Five Thunder Transformation Hand?"

A hint of disdain flashed across his eyes:

"If you want to learn this skill, you must first cripple your own martial arts. Am I right?"

"You...you knew that?!"

Nu Fenglei shuddered, his eyes instantly filled with disbelief and horror.

His eyes widened suddenly, and he blurted out:

"Did you really cripple your martial arts skills for the sake of this technique?!"

But in just a moment, Nu Fenglei's rationality overturned this guess.

He stared intently at Xu Fu as if he were a monster, and roared at the top of his lungs:

"No! That's absolutely impossible!!"

"Even if you had the guts to cripple your martial arts and start from scratch, you could never possibly cultivate the Five Thunder Transformation Hand to such a terrifying level!!!"

"The Five Thunder Transformation Technique you just unleashed was incredibly powerful and refined, clearly the result of at least a century of cultivation!!"

"Even if you are a martial arts prodigy, one in a century, it is absolutely impossible for you to rebuild a century's worth of power in just a few decades after crippling yourself!!!"

Watching the maddened state of Nu Feng Lei's collapsing faith, Xu Fu felt a secret pleasure reaching its peak.

Even though he obtained his current domineering and unparalleled Five Elements Divine Skill entirely through the help of the Supreme Elder, it doesn't stop him from taking all the glory upon himself without batting an eye.

Looking at his defeated opponent whose dignity he had utterly trampled, Xu Fu displayed the ultimate in unfathomable sage-like demeanor.

He lightly flicked the ice shards off his Taoist robe, a haughty smile curving his lips:

You're right.

"If I had simply followed the steps to practice your Five Thunder Transformation Technique, at most I would only have reached a level of skill of a few decades."

"What a pity..."

"What kind of martial arts talent do I possess, unparalleled throughout the ages?"

"How could you, a mere mortal, possibly fathom such a thing?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Fu gave Nu Fenglei no chance to catch his breath or reply, and suddenly spread his arms wide to the sides.

"Today, I'll show you exactly what the true Five Thunder Transformation Technique is!"

"Five Raging Thunderbolts!!!"

With an extremely arrogant shout, Xu Fu raised both palms to the sky at the same time!

"Boom—!!!"

If what happened before was merely a chariot crushing rotten wood, then this moment is truly a full-scale attack.

Five extremely violent pillars of Five Elements lightning shot out and crashed straight down onto the dome!

"Boom—!!!"

In the deafening explosion, the power that had completely broken free from the restraints of true energy surged forth.

This iceberg, which had imprisoned the raging wind and thunder for decades, was actually pierced through by this one blow and shattered into pieces!

Ice crystals flew everywhere.

The long-awaited bright sunlight poured down through the collapsed gap, shining directly on Nu Fenglei's face.

Stung by the sunlight, Nu Fenglei instinctively squinted.

He lay limp in the ruins, his limbs twitching, his eyes filled with extreme horror and despair, completely dumbfounded.

Only at this moment did a desperate realization finally flash through his mind:

So this is... the true Five Wrath Thunderbolts!

Compared to Xu Fu's power to shatter icebergs with a mere wave of his hand, my Five Thunder Transformation Technique, which I had been so proud of all my life, was nothing more than a child playing house!

Ice crystals drifted down, and all around was deathly silent.

Nu Fenglei struggled to raise his head and looked up at Xu Fu, who stood with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, the madness and resentment in his eyes were gone, leaving only a deathly stillness like that of a withered tree.

"What kind of martial art did you just use?"

His voice was hoarse, like that of an old man on his deathbed, yearning for a final answer.

Xu Fu looked down at him condescendingly and coldly uttered four words:

"Five Elements Divine Art."

Upon hearing these four words, Nu Fenglei trembled.

Immediately, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, he exhaled a long breath and gave a bitter smile.

Five Elements Magical Skills...

It turned out to be the case.

He was completely relieved.

He was not defeated because his skills were inferior, but because he was defeated by a divine skill that far surpassed the laws of creation.

Compared to such divine skill, my own pride and joy seem as laughable as child's play.

With his inner turmoil resolved, Nu Fenglei slowly closed his eyes, his tone filled with utter gloom and resolute determination:

"You went to great lengths to break the seal and release me, just to use this divine skill in front of me and humiliate me?"

"Now that you, old thief, have mastered the Five Thunder Transformation Technique to its peak, I am of no use to you anymore."

"Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you!!"

He tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and quietly awaited Xu Fu's fatal blow that would shatter his skull.

However, after waiting for a long time.

Apart from the howling cold wind, there was no other sound.

There was no oppressive force of bursting true energy, nor the pain of impending death.

Nu Fenglei opened his eyes in confusion, only to find that the ruins covered with broken ice were empty, and in the swirling snow, there was no trace of Xu Fu.

"You old scoundrel Xu! What trick are you playing now?!"

Like a startled bird, Nufenglei trembled violently, looking around in fear and confusion, and roared shrilly:

"You don't need to hide in the shadows and play tricks on me!"

"Kill me or torture me, give me a quick death! Get out here!!"

He gritted his teeth, thinking this was yet another of Xu Fu's twisted cat-and-mouse game, torturing him with endless unknowns.

However, on the empty ruins, only the echoes of the howling wind and snow remained, without any suspense or response.

After a while.

The deathly silence of abandonment, accompanied by a bone-chilling cold, seeped into the very marrow of the raging storm.

He finally realized in despair—

The high and mighty Xu Fu had no time to hide in the shadows and play tricks on him;

Instead, they had abandoned him here like mud at some unknown time and quietly left.

The raging wind and thunder stood frozen in the snow.

At this moment, he truly realized that the greatest contempt in the world is not killing, but utter disregard.

He doesn't even deserve to die at Xu Fu's hands now.

He struggled to his feet, trembling, from the ruins.

The strong wind whipped up his tattered clothes.

This once arrogant and fearsome madman, who struck fear into the hearts of countless masters, took one last deep look in the direction where Xu Fu had disappeared, then turned and staggered into the vast, desolate snowstorm of the far north.

From then on, the name Nu Feng Lei disappeared from the martial arts world.

Several miles away, atop a majestic, continuous ice mountain.

The wind was fierce, and Xu Fu's wide Taoist robe fluttered in the snow.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his deep gaze calmly watching the desolate figure in the distance, staggering and gradually swallowed by the wind and snow.

There was no euphoria after victory, nor the biting sarcasm of the cat-and-mouse game just now.
