Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal
Chapter 440 - 436: Annihilation

Chapter 440: Chapter 436: Annihilation

Thunder Origin Sect Hall.

Guang Ye, Lei Dao, Zhang Ziyu, Zhang Guangming, Bian Shouxin, and Lei Que, six Martial Kings, looked up into the void at Gu Jinlai, who loomed high above them like a Deva, feeling an icy chill throughout their bodies.

Especially Guang Ye, who was a top Martial King, his hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

"How could... he be so powerful!?"

Lei Dao’s voice was hoarse, "Didn’t they say... at most he’s a Peak Martial King?"

No one answered.

The High-level Deva, Bai Fengyu!

The Peak Martial King, Zhang Zhongshan!

The two strongest individuals on their side.

Plus the High-level Martial King, Zhang Guanghua!

Three top powerhouses, from the beginning of the battle to now, not two breaths had passed, all were bombarded and killed by Gu Jinlai.

Such divine power, such speed, such strength...

It was simply suffocating.

"Sixty thousand... His combat power is definitively above sixty thousand... This is... a Peak Deva..."

Bian Shouxin’s tone had a hint of despair.

When their Sect Master led them to encircle and attack Gu Jinlai, no matter what, they had not anticipated that they were attacking a top powerhouse with combat power reaching sixty thousand.

You should know, according to the World Building’s Sanjiu Ascension List, outclassing by one rank can secure a significant advantage.

Outclassing by two ranks, the weaker side hardly has a chance to even escape.

And he...

Was just an Ordinary Martial King.

Facing this supreme entity floating in the void, the difference was a whole five ranks!

This gap was like that between a Peak Primordial Spirit True Monarch and Peak Devas, vast enough that the opponent could easily kill him instantly with just a casual use of divine power.

"Is this it?"

Gu Jinlai hovered in the void, looking down at the six Martial Kings below, "You all went to great lengths to set a trap, yet now, you can’t even manage to injure me, which is disappointing."

"Gu Jinlai!"

Guang Ye looked at Gu Jinlai’s figure in the void.

Some Martial Kings indeed could use divine skills to float in the air, but to hover in the void like Gu Jinlai...

This was a method only Devas could possess.

For a moment, he was somewhat unclear whether Gu Jinlai was a Deva or a Martial King.

But now was obviously not the time to consider this matter.

"Gentlemen, it has come to this, our only choice is to fight to the death!"

Guang Ye said with a grave voice.

His words immediately received the response of the other five Martial Kings.

"Indeed, we still have six Martial Kings, and Lord Guang Ye is a top Martial King. The six of us working together should be able to give him trouble."

"Right, let’s all attack together and use the Battle Formation to besiege him."

"Let’s put up a fight! Everyone, go!"

The five shouted out, brimming with murderous intent and determination in their tone.

One breath later...

None of the six Martial Kings had yet made the first move.

For a moment, they exchanged glances, all feeling somewhat awkward.

But Gu Jinlai wasn’t planning to give them time to continue their awkward conversation.

He looked down, with Thunder flashing on the Cheng Ying Sword in his hand, "Next, you have your last chance, resist with all your might! Otherwise... all of you shall die here today!"

"Not good!"

Guang Ye, seeing the electric light contained on the sharp sword in Gu Jinlai’s hand, burst forth without hesitation.

Accompanied by the cracking earth beneath his feet, he charged out like a fired bullet at the fastest speed.

Direction...

Was shockingly towards Wind and Rain City.

He wanted to escape.

To flee back to Wind and Rain City.

Seeing Guang Ye’s actions, Bai Ziyu, Zhang Guangming, Lei Dao, and the others were slightly stunned, then quickly realized what was happening and hastily scattered, fleeing in all directions.

At the same time as they were running, Gu Jinlai’s Thunder Sword descended from the sky, targeting the weaker Lei Que with a bombardment.

Lei Que already sensed danger when Gu Jinlai’s gaze locked on him, but...

The Thunder Sword was too fast.

Fast to the point that Lei Que, an Ordinary Martial King, couldn’t react in time.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by thunderous roars, his entire body was pierced by the Thunder Sword and killed on the spot.

After shooting down Lei Que, Gu Jinlai’s figure in the void was also like a Deva, Air Walking, pursuing quickly, his target...

Was Bai Ziyu!

He clasped his hands together, the Chaotic Star Light Body activated, and Thunder began to condense in his hands again.

"Gu Jinlai!"

Bai Ziyu yelled, "You annihilated our forces, but in the end, wasn’t it just for money and supplies? If you can spare me, I am willing to offer all of Bai Family’s assets on a silver platter..."

What responded to him was another Thunder Sword that Gu Jinlai shot down without delay.

"Boom!"

The thunder broke through the sky.

Even though this Thunder Sword did not carry the Spirit Sword, the might it contained was still not something that Zhang Guangming, an Ordinary Martial King, could withstand.

In the midst of roaring thunder, this Martial King also followed in Lei Que’s footsteps.

Then, he caught up with Bian Shouxin, and proceeded to repeat the process.

These Martial Kings, immensely powerful in the outside world, had nearly no power to resist in the face of Gu Jinlai, who held the aerial advantage and wielded the Thunder Sword as a long-range tool, akin to Qingguang.

It was like a Primordial Spirit True Monarch shooting down an Upper-level Demon.

No, that’s not right.

The gap between the realms of the Devas was probably as vast as the gap from Refining God to Primordial Spirit.

After improvements, Gu Jinlai’s Thunder Sword was in no way inferior to the Slaughter Divine Power in terms of lethality, and moreover, having cultivated this Divine Skill to Mahayana, his combat power as a Peak Heavenly Being was unquestionable.

In dealing with these Ordinary Martial Kings...

It was like a Primordial Spirit True Monarch wielding the sword Qingming, continuously shooting down Middle Position, even Lower Demons.

After obliterating Lei Que, Bai Ziyu, and Bian Shouxin with his overpowering Thunder Sword, Gu Jinlai once again caught up with Zhang Guangming.

This Martial King of the Zhang Family looked in terror at the lightning on his hand and the figure that resembled the Thunder Dominator, crying out, "Ancient Martial King, I acknowledge my defeat regarding today’s matter. From now on, the Zhang Family is willing to serve under the Ancient Martial King, to toil like dogs and horses, contributing our strength..."

"I accept your contribution,"

Gu Jinlai said, looking at Zhang Guangming with the same bright red Karma, mercilessly swinging down another Thunder Sword.

At that moment, Lei Dao, who had fled the fastest, had already reached the edge of the Formation, "Quick! Open the Formation!"

The Thunder Origin Sect was enveloped by a Formation.

The defensive power of this Formation was not particularly strong.

Its real purpose was to block light, sound, and other methods, to prevent the events happening within the Thunder Origin Sect from leaking out.

After all, Gu Jinlai was, to some degree, the Deputy District Chief of the Southeast Outer City District; killing him before the public eye without sufficient reason would bring significant trouble for the backers behind them.

But with some cover-up, even if everyone in the world knew they were the killers, without concrete evidence, they wouldn’t have to worry about leaving behind any issues.

Unless some prominent figure decided to act against them.

And if a prominent figure really did decide to take action against them, they would have plenty of methods at their disposal, and apart from submission, they would have no other choice.

At this moment, a Formation that didn’t offer much defensive power and merely created light and phantom illusions to obscure location had become Lei Dao’s barrier between life and death.

He slashed furiously with his sword, swiftly targeting the key Formation base, attempting to tear the Formation apart.

But in just the delay caused by several slashes, Gu Jinlai, who had annihilated several Martial Kings, was already breaking through the sky toward him.

Thunder roared continually, relentlessly jolting Lei Dao’s nerves.

"No! No! No!"

Lei Dao roared, slashing wildly, as each blade of his sword extended a hundred meters, tearing ravines into the earth.

Under such violent decryption methods, no Formation could maintain normal operation.

Like vanishing phantoms, the streams of light scattered, revealing the vista beyond the core of the Thunder Origin Sect.

But at that time, the sense of crisis behind him soared to a climax, and aware of the reason, Lei Dao yelled frantically, his figure rapidly shooting forward, his violent blade light tearing the void, seemingly intent on slashing down the Thunder Sword attacking from behind.

"Rumble!"

Thunder boomed!

The incoming Thunder Sword shattered in mid-air, but numerous currents penetrated the atmosphere. Some even spread directly onto his body, rendering him rigid from head to toe.

By the time he managed to circulate his True Yuan for recovery, Gu Jinlai’s figure was already less than a hundred meters away...

"Ancient Martial King, our Thunder Origin Sect is willing to pledge allegiance, please..."

What answered him was Gu Jinlai unleashing a sky full of fist shadows.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Earth roared.

Under the shock of Fist Force, the ground within a hundred meters around Lei Dao quickly cracked and sank.

Dust filled the air, and the scattering debris caused the Thunder Origin Sect Disciples who were just nearby to scream in pain.

In less than a breath...

"Rumble!"

Thunder exploded.

The spreading dust had not yet managed to form fully before it seemed to be split by a Divine Sword.

And that Divine Sword...

Turned out to be a figure who had charged into the void and was maintaining a height of a hundred meters as it zoomed by.

After traveling a thousand meters, he suddenly accelerated, with lightning flashing in his hand again.

This time, the target was Guang Ye.

At this point, Guang Ye had fled the Thunder Origin Sect and directly reached the town at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing Gu Jinlai approaching at a speed he could never outrun, a hint of madness flashed in his eyes, his momentum rising and seeming to envelop the entire town.

"Gu Jinlai! You claim to seek true order and justice. Today, I will destroy this town, and all these people will die because of you. What justice will you espouse then? What order will you uphold?"

Guang Ye bellowed, a force akin to Martial Arts Divine Power brewing in his hands.

If released...

It would indeed be capable of leveling the town’s core, causing thousands of casualties.

Gu Jinlai focused on condensing the Thunder Sword in his hand. At this moment, a terrifying thought surged through his mind.

Let him do it.

The town at the foot of the Thunder Origin Sect’s mountain had tens of thousands of inhabitants.

If he really did it, the Karma on him would definitely grow from its current dark red to a black as flames, granting him more Qingguang...

And furthermore...

If Guang Ye destroyed the town and he then killed Guang Ye, by putting the blame on the Bai Family, it would immensely benefit his public image, even aiding him in his upcoming competition for the position of Sweeper Team Captain.

After all, Guang Ye was a well-known Out-of-Control.

At that time...

However, this thought lasted in his mind for only a moment before he forcefully suppressed it.

Even he was startled by his own idea, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Guang Ye’s intention was to break his Martial Arts Will.

And yet, because of the Qingguang, he was nearly ensnared.

If he truly allowed countless people to die before his eyes while remaining indifferent, all for the Qingguang, how would he differ from those Great Demons?

With that thought, he dared not hesitate any longer. He threw the Thunder Sword in his hand with all his might, covering a thousand meters, striking Guang Ye’s body.
