Chapter 1146: Chapter 1146: The Power of Thunder and Lightning, A Natural Nemesis

"Escape!"

Everyone had only this one thought in their minds.

The swarming Bone-Eroding Worms quickly surrounded the crowd like lightning. Any martial artist caught by them would turn into a skeleton in less than a dozen breaths.

Countless Bone-Eroding Worms headed towards Lin Chen and Su Yun.

Seeing this, Lin Chen neither dodged nor evaded, because he knew, within the immense pressure of the Stone Mansion, they couldn’t outrun these worms.

Including those like Yang Minghui, all were fleeing for their lives.

"That waste is finally going to die. It seems I don’t need to use that poison after all."

Su Dongyu watched as Lin Chen was engulfed by Bone-Eroding Worms, a grin appeared at the corner of his mouth, eagerly anticipating Lin Chen’s tragic death beneath the worms.

Buzz——

Just when everyone thought Lin Chen and Su Yun were done for, a purple lightning power suddenly appeared in Lin Chen’s palm.

Subsequently, that lightning power transformed into a towering pillar of lightning, shooting skyward, flashing around Lin Chen’s body.

Chirp——

With a crisp sound, thousands of Bone-Eroding Worms surrounding Lin Chen were instantly reduced to powder.

The other worms, seeing this, swiftly turned and fled, not daring to approach Lin Chen in the slightest.

Know this, Bone-Eroding Worms belong to the shadowy kind, and Lin Chen’s lightning power happens to restrain them.

Therefore, Lin Chen’s power of thunder and lightning is totally the nemesis of these Bone-Eroding Worms.

Seeing Lin Chen, the worms couldn’t escape quickly enough, let alone attack him.

Watching those Bone-Eroding Worms regard Lin Chen as a natural enemy, everyone was secretly surprised, not expecting Lin Chen to possess such formidable lightning power.

Now, Lin Chen started to counterattack, using lightning power to blast the worms, because to get the spirit crystals across the way, they had to pass through the spirit mist barrier, and to do that, they first had to take care of these obstructing Bone-Eroding Worms.

Seeing Lin Chen aggressively attacking, everyone turned back, each utilizing their power to retaliate against the worms.

Earlier, when the Bone-Eroding Worms suddenly emerged, there was fear in everyone’s heart, having already witnessed the power of the worms.

Seeing the worms so easily defeated by Lin Chen, it motivated everyone to fight back.

After all, they wouldn’t admit to being inferior to Lin Chen, who was only at the Nirvana Realm Third Level.

No matter how strong Lin Chen’s background, wasn’t he just at the Nirvana Realm Third Level?

Of course, the main reason was that they didn’t want all those spirit crystals to end up with Lin Chen alone.

If Lin Chen alone dealt with the Bone-Eroding Worms, he would surely be the first to pass through the spirit mist barrier, reaching the other side, and the spirit crystals would all be his.

With everyone’s counterattack, they underestimated the cunning and strength of the Bone-Eroding Worms.

Yang Minghui, Tang Tianpeng, Mu Qinghe, Heng Sanjin, and Gu Yong’an all deployed their domain power amidst the fray.

Using strong means to deal with those Bone-Eroding Worms.

But whether they were from the Four Great Families, or water bandits, or martial artists from Xindi Water City, they were all attacked by the worms, resulting in some casualties.

Yang Minghui, though using her domain power to protect the Yang family disciples, couldn’t look after all of them, and four Yang family disciples died slaughtered by the worms.

Other factions also suffered casualties.

However, as for the Su family, those few Yang family members following Su Yun had not come to this place and were still in the rear passage, though their safety was unknown.

As for Su Dongyu and Su He, both were injured, but not fatally.

At this moment, Lin Chen expanded his Thunder Domain, manifesting as a wide spread of thunder light, reaching hundreds of feet.

Within the area of a hundred feet, not a single Bone-Eroding Worm dared approach.

Know this: if Yang Minghui, Mu Qinghe, and others spread their domain power beyond a certain point, it would significantly weaken.

Lin Chen’s Thunder Light Field, however, was hardly weakened due to his mastery far exceeding others, thanks to his Great Dao Resonance through which his understanding and proficiency in the Great Dao surpassed everyone.

Seeing martial artists futilely resisting the worms, almost at death’s door, they huddled towards Lin Chen for salvation.

Witnessing this, Lin Chen said nothing but wouldn’t let the water bandits approach, instead blasting them away with lightning power.

After all, Lin Chen held no goodwill towards these pillaging bandits, and their trial’s purpose was indeed to eliminate these water bandits.

Heng Sanjin felt furious but helpless, unable to deal with Lin Chen right now.

Moreover, the Four Great Families shared mutual interests. Though there were competitions in private, facing the Su Family now would only give the other three families an opportunity, not to mention the ever-watchful people of Xindi Water City.

...

While Lin Chen and others were fighting the Bone-Eroding Worms, Su Lie’s group was in a previous passage killing off many water bandits and gaining various treasures.

They wouldn’t return empty-handed, aiming to pass through the tunnel to reunite with Lin Chen and Su Yun.

Yet, as they were about to pass through the tunnel, the other end echoed with screams, causing serious expressions to form on Su Lie and his group.

Their steps halted, eyes fixed on the forward-facing passage.

Thud thud thud——

Suddenly, a group of water bandits rushed towards them.

Seeing this, Su Lie’s group hastily drew their weapons to prepare for battle.

Yet as the water bandits reached them, they all collapsed, dead.

Subsequently, the water bandits’ bodies rapidly turned into white bones, from which numerous black insects crawled out.

"It’s Bone-Eroding Worms! Everyone, run quickly! Don’t let these worms entangle you, or it’s certain death."

Su Lie shouted loudly, immediately turning to flee.

Hearing this, the Su Family disciples and other martial artists around turned pale with fear, fleeing in all directions.

Su Lie’s group was not as fast as the worms, and soon, some Su Family disciples were caught by the black insects.

Now, escape seemed impossible—they had to find a way to fight back.
