Chapter 481: I, Qin Lie, Am The True Master Of This Place!

Qin Lie felt that the situation had become more interesting all of a sudden.

Feng Yiyou of Celestial Artifact Sect evidently did not have a good relationship with Yu Men of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, because the moment the two of them met, one pulled out his sword while the other drew his bow. Like roosters, they could start fighting at any moment.

However, these two having an antagonistic relationship was unsurprising to Qin Lie. The two of them belonged to different forces after all, both of which even resided in the Heavenly Fissure Continent.

The relationship that Qin Lie was actually curious about was the one between Feng Yiyou and Situ Tong.

Situ Tong also belonged to Celestial Artifact Sect, and like Feng Yiyou, he had entered the Graveyard of Gods as a trial participant. However, Situ Tong had previously journeyed with Niu Shaojun. He was actually quite close to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

Yet Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was Feng Yiyou’s enemy, the thorn in his side.

Qin Lie realized that Zhang Sheng had been telling the truth about one thing—Situ Tong really wasn’t on their side.

As expected.

Along with three other Celestial Artifact Sect martial practitioners, Situ Tong actually rushed over in just fifteen minutes.

They were clearly still in cahoots with Ten Thousand Beast Mountain!

“Situ Tong! You actually dare to conspire with the people of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain!” Feng Yiyou’s expression turned intensely cold, killing intent overflowing from his eyes. “I always knew that allowing you to enter the Trial was only asking for trouble!”

“Hello, Young Sect Master.” When Situ Tong arrived, his expression was similarly ice-cold as well. “Before we entered the Trial, the injury you gave me during the inner sect competition was carved into my heart. I think about it all the time!”

“Heh!” Du Xiangyang secretly laughed.

He could see that the relationship between Situ Tong and Feng Yiyou was probably even worse than the relationship between him and Luo Chen.

Just like Heavenly Sword Mountain, Celestial Artifact Sect had held an internal competition to determine the selection of Trial participants.

Situ Tong had apparently lost.

Feng Yiyou didn’t have a good relationship with Yu Men, and he also bore hatred for Situ Tong. This led to Situ Tong conspiring with Yu Men upon entering the Graveyard of Gods.

“It seems like we’ll be able to stay out of this matter.” Du Xiangyang laughed.

Qin Lie’s demeanor was relaxed as well. He sized up the martial practitioners of Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, touchng his temple as he pondered. Then he suddenly smiled and said, “Young Sect Master Feng, we don’t wish to intrude upon this matter or continue investigating the thunder barrier. We just want to leave now, what do you say?”

Before Ten Thousand Beast Mountain arrived, Qin Lie and Feng Yiyou’s groups were about to engage in a bloody, slaughter-filled battle.

Feng Yiyou had just ordered Zhang Sheng and the other five Celestial Artifact Sect martial practitioners to capture Song Tingyu and Xie Jingxuan, kill Du Xiangyang, and seize Qin Lie’s memories.

But now, when Qin Lie said that they wanted to leave, a carefree look surfaced on Feng Yiyou’s face. He even smiled and said, “Earlier was just a misunderstanding. We only had good intentions in mind, hoping that we could investigate the mysteries of the thunder barrier together. However, all of you seem to not be interested. We won’t keep you here any longer. Please, go ahead.”

Feng Yiyou took the initiative to back off.

Zhang Sheng and his men were well aware that Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was currently their true enemy. The moment they saw Feng Yiyou let them go, each of them dryly laughed one after another.

“Earlier was just a misunderstanding, that’s all it was. Please be magnanimous and forgiving…” Zhang Sheng cupped his hands and bowed, nodding toward Qin Lie and the others.

“We truly had good intentions in the beginning,” another person hurriedly said as well.

Song Tingyu and Xie Jingxuan were all smiles.

“What do you guys say?” Qin Lie looked at Niu Shaojun and his gang.

“Just leave! We’re not going to send you off!” Niu Shaojun snorted coldly.

“You better run far!” Yu Men growled, staring at Feng Yiyou intensely.

“You had best be more polite with your words!” Xie Jingxuan’s face was ice-cold.

“Just forget it. Let’s go.” Qin Lie smiled softly as he waved his hand to stop Xie Jingxuan, saying, “We can’t afford to offend either side, so let us be off. We’ll give this place to them to roll around in.”

Xie Jingxuan looked at him strangely.

She had always known that, although Qin Lie looked gentle, deep in his bones, he was incomparably violent. Like a volcano, just a tiny little spark could burst into a surging ball of flames.

Yu Men wanted them to flee far into the distance, and his tone wasn’t the least bit courteous. With Qin Lie’s personality, he would definitely want to start a wild brawl. However, this time he took the initiative to retreat, which was something that Xie Jingxuan found baffling.

“Time to go, time to go!” Qin Lie took the lead and moved to leave, a slight smile on his face.

As he said he was leaving, he actually walked toward the middle of the two opposing sides, aiming to walk between them.

Du Xiangyang, Song Tingyu, and Xie Jingxuan suddenly tensed up.

At this moment, tensions between Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain were especially high, and the situation could explode into a bloody war at any moment. .

If Qin Lie actually wanted to retreat, there were many other routes he could have taken. Instead, however, he chose to walk the path in the middle of Feng Yiyou and Yu Men.

This decision made the hearts of Song Tingyu, Xie Jingxuan, and Du Xiangyang hang in suspense.

The three of them, having initially moved to follow Qin Lie, stopped short. Their hearts were tense and uneasy. They sensed that something was amiss.

The people of Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain sank into silence.

They also hadn’t expected Qin Lie, the one who wanted to leave this place, to actually choose the narrow path between them.

What was the meaning of this?

This was clearly a provocation!

Xie Jingxuan, Song Tingyu, and Du Xiangyang didn’t dare to move rashly or go deeper between Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, fearing a pincer attack from both sides.

They stood at their original positions, their fingers instinctively pressing down on their spatial rings, prepared to retrieve their spirit artifacts and battle at any moment.

They looked at Qin Lie with grim expressions.

Feng Yiyou, Yu Men, Zhang Sheng, and the rest also wore dark expressions. They stopped facing each other and looked at Qin Lie as well.

Under numerous frigid gazes, Qin Lie looked as though he were confidently strolling through his own yard, leisurely walking to the middle of the crowd made up of Feng Yiyou’s group and Yu Men’s group.

Under the predatory gazes of the Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain martial practitioners, not only did Qin Lie pass through both sides comfortably, he even came to a sudden stop in the middle of them—

—right between Yu Men and Feng Yiyou.

Song Tingyu, Du Xiangyang, and Xie Jingxuan’s hearts constricted and their expressions took a grave turn. They secretly began to gather spirit energy in preparation for any abrupt change in the situation.

Although they didn’t understand Qin Lie’s motives, they knew that the tolerance of Feng Yiyou and Yu Men was limited.

“Earlier, you said wanted to us to run far away?” Qin Lie twisted his head, glancing at Yu Men of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. With a frown, he asked, “Care to repeat that?”

Upon hearing these words, every person on Celestial Artifact Sect’s side began to gloat, eyes shining with glee.

In the meantime, the worsening situation made Qin Lie’s group sigh.

“Damn it!” Xie Jingxuan cursed in a low voice. “And here I thought that he had changed for the better. I didn’t think he’d be as crazy as ever!”

“This bastard!” Even Song Tingyu stomped her feet as well.

The three of them didn’t expect Qin Lie to take the initiative and provoke Yu Men.

He clearly could have retreated from this incident, and then, after Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain waged a blood-soaked war, decided whether or not to stab them in the back.

They would’ve definitely been able to profit as fishermen if they chose to do that!

Why did he have to offend Yu Men and provoke both sides?

Song Tingyu and the others had no idea.

“Fine!” Yu Men grinned and let out a ferocious laugh. “If you don’t run as far as you can, I’ll just kill you along with them! Heh, you think you’re Luo Chen or Chu Li? Or maybe even Ye Yihao? How about Xue Moyan? Even if you help Feng Yiyou fight me, how much use will just the four of you be?”

Yu Men basically didn’t hold Qin Lie in any regard at all.

He had made the necessary preparations to deal with Qin Lie’s group at the same time. Aside from the people of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, Yu Men still had Situ Tong.

He believed that his group’s strength was enough take on both Qin Lie’s group and Celestial Artifact Sect.

“You seemed to be interested in the two women with me earlier, right?” Unexpectedly enough, Qin Lie didn’t respond to Yu Men, but instead turned around to look at Feng Yiyou and Zhang Sheng. A broad toothy smile on his face, he said. “One of the women that you, Zhang Sheng, are so interested in is my…”

These words utterly baffled the people of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

Song Tingyu, Xie Jingxuan, and Du Xiangyang inwardly lamented their despair.

Not only did this bastard provoke Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, he even offended Celestial Artifact Sect. Just what in the world was he planning?

“You motherfucker, what are your intentions?” Zhang Sheng roared furiously.

“What in the world are you trying to do?” Feng Yiyou became impatient as well.

“This place is the Forbidden Land of Thunder. In this place, you…” He pointed at Feng Yiyou, and then he pointed at Yu Men. “And you. Neither of you have the qualifications to control it. I, Qin Lie, am the true master of this place!”

Immediately after declaring this, Qin Lie raised his head, looked toward the sky, and roared, “Thunder!”

When his voice rang out, explosive thunder resonated from deep in the clouds, sounding as if it were capable of destroying the world.

Writhing from the thunder barrier off to the side, streaks of lightning as thick as pails mixed with the violent, thunderous rumbling and rushed out like ferocious dragons.

The twisted, chaotic thunder fluctuations instantly became several times more savage. The violent lightning from the sky and the thunder lagoon drew closer as if being guided, approaching as if the apocalypse were nigh.

Their target was Qin Lie!

At this moment, Qin Lie stood at the center of the crowd of martial practitioners belonging to Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

He was guiding lightning down from the heavens with Heavenly Thunder Eradication.

Chapter 482: Lightning Controller!

Without any overly obvious foreshadowing, Qin Lie became hostile the moment he said he was going to in a decisive and determined manner.

As if he were embracing the world, Qin Lie raised his hands up high and bellowed. Streams of lightning, long and thick, poured from his body, and every part of him rumbled with the sound of thunder.

Vast swathes of lightning resembling enormous dragons emerged from the depths of the clouds and, as though they’d escaped from a divine river, plunged straight downward amidst the explosive sound of heavenly thunder.

Beside all of the martial practitioners present in the Forbidden Land of Thunder, the lightning hidden by the thunder barrier erupted outward like a myriad of wild horses breaking free from their reins.

The thunderous changes triggered by Qin Lie instantly led to a ferocious frenzy of lightning in the area, gripping hearts and souls in a catastrophic way.

The lightning that filled the sky headed straight for Qin Lie!

Amidst the crowd of martial practitioners, Qin Lie stood in an area between Feng Yiyou and Yu Men.

At this moment, Qin Lie’s dark, ruthless, ulterior motives were obvious to everyone.

Qin Lie had moved to the path between Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain and stopped right between Feng Yiyou and Yu Men in order to guide thunder toward himself, using the thunder and lightning of the Forbidden Land of Thunder to destroy all of his enemies!

From the very beginning, Qin Lie never thought of staying out of this. The thought of leaving had never actually crossed his mind!

He was clearly preparing to take care of Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain at the same time!

“This bastard!” Song Tingyu’s beautiful eyes shone.

“He actually fooled us as well!” Xie Jingxuan gnashed her teeth.

“Craack craack! Boom boom boom!”

The violent thunder and chaotic lightning resembled a flood from the lightning pool of the Ninth Heaven, bolts of heavenly lightning gushing downward like waterfalls.

The faces of Yu Men and Feng Yiyou turned incomparably ashen, as both of them barked at the same time, “Everyone, dodge!”

Amidst the descending streams of blinding lightning dragons and their resulting explosions, the martial practitioners of both forces screamed, roared, and howled as they fled in every direction.

In but an instant, Qin Lie’s immediate area was turned into a forbidden zone, a playground filled with vicious thunder and lightning.

One of the Celestial Artifact Sect martial practitioners who had agreed with Zhang Sheng’s proposal to capture Song Tingyu and Xie Jingxuan for a bit of fun was struck by two intertwined flashes of lightning, instantly soaking his body with a concentrated flow of electricity.

At the same time, another, more explosive lightning bolt directly struck his shoulders.

Like a meatball exploding, his body was blasted apart. The violent flashes of lightning spread to his organs, charring them black.

The light of hatred in that person’s eyes was snuffed out like the flame of a candle.

Then, attracted by the bone ash urns inside of the thunder barrier, a gloomy soul instantly flew away.

On the other side of the electric rampage, the head of a person behind Niu Shaojun of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was struck by the heavenly lightning, the color in his eyes quickly dispersing.

“Cousin!” Niu Shaojun howled sharply.

Unfortunately, that person could no longer hear him. As if attracted by a magnet, a gray colored ghost flew towards the Thunder Barrier as well.

“Qin Lie! I, Niu Shaojun, swear that I’ll tear your corpse into a thousand pieces!”

“Qin Lie! I, Zhang Sheng, will definitely peel your skin off and break your bones apart! I will ruthlessly toy with your women right before your eyes as well!”

“Take Qin Lie down first!”

“Kill him!”

Amidst the blasts of lightning that filled the sky, the martial practitioners of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain and Celestial Artifact Sect suddenly came to a tacit agreement.

“I already told you. In this Forbidden Land of Thunder, I’m in charge.” Qin Lie’s tone was calm, and he wore a laid-back expression.

His line of sight swept over one Celestial Artifact Sect martial practitioner after another, then landed on Zhang Sheng. Stretching out his hand, he pointed and said, “You’re next.”

Lightning bolts shot downward, and the violent storm followed after.

Within the crisscrossing of lightning and rain, Qin Lie’s body was enveloped by thunder and lightning. An electric glow sparked from his eyes as he confidently walked toward Zhang Sheng.

The thunder barrier beside him was extremely terrifying as it constantly threw down lightning bolt after lightning bolt, each impact creating deep, enormous craters in the earth one after another.

It was as if Terminator Profound Bombs were constantly exploding.

Three people from Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain charged forward. The moment they drew near, however, they were engulfed in lightning and thunder before they could utter a single word.

The three people released piercing screams. The spirit energy barriers on their bodies promptly shattered to pieces like egg shells struck by a gigantic hammer.

At the same time, Qin Lie pulled out the Astral Thunder Hammer, a huge grin on his face. The hammer resembled a gigantic mountain that gods resided on as it hurtled toward Zhang Sheng.

The lightning that coiled around the Astral Thunder Hammer attracted lightning dragons and rumbling thunder to it. Thunder and lightning filled the sky and earth, mysteriously pouring toward the hammer as it swung through the air.

A closer look would reveal that even the violent lightning in the depths of the clouds seemed to have found a target of their own—Zhang Sheng!

The moment Zhang Sheng, who had just uttered such ruthless words, discovered that he had become Qin Lie’s target, the depths of his heart turned cold. In a shrill voice, he hastily shrieked, “Kill him! Everyone, let’s combine our strength and kill him!”

Unfortunately, the three people who had charged Qin Lie the moment they got the chance had already been submerged in dozens of lightning bolts.

As though they were ancient trees that had been struck by lightning, their bodies had already been charred black.

Three gray souls floated out of the bodies of those martial practitioners as well, seeping into the thunder barrier against their will.

Since he was nearby, Niu Shaojun was just about to attack Qin Lie. Yet, the moment he saw three people die trying to do so, their souls leaving their bodies, he came to a sudden halt.

The martial practitioners of Celestial Artifact Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain who were a little further away wore cold expressions. Immense fear flowed out of their eyes.

They had also stopped moving.

Even Yu Men and Feng Yiyou, both of whom had been constantly shouting out, realized that the electrical activity in Qin Lie’s location was more than a dozen times stronger than the surrounding area!

Even these two geniuses were deeply frightened of the savage lightning that could annihilate all living things.

They didn’t dare to act rashly.

This led to Zhang Sheng shouting even more loudly, only to realize that nobody dared to approach Qin Lie at the center of the shocking tempest. Furthermore, Zhang Sheng even noticed that Niu Shaojun actually started to gradually retreat.

He was consciously moving away from Qin Lie!

The fear of a lone soldier being captured by a ferocious prehistoric beast and gradually swallowed suddenly sprouted within Zhang Sheng.

At this moment, all of the people that could help him were quickly distancing themselves.

“Among the many people here, you’re the one with the nastiest mouth, Zhang Sheng. In fact, the moment you brought us here… you were already dead.” Qin Lie smiled softly.
