Chapter Twenty: True Fear

  Three Gorges

  Ling Fei shouted at the thundercloud, "Damn it! You're picking on me now, aren't you?! Come out and fight one-on-one if you dare!" Except for Ling Fei's echoing voice, there was no sound on the sky bridge. Suddenly, the thundercloud slowly began to twist and turn, transforming into a massive black whirlpool. At the center of the whirlpool, flashes of lightning crackled and sparked, still with a reddish hue!

  Ling Fei glared at the strange phenomenon, still cursing, "You dare not, huh! You don't even dare to mess with my sister, and you think your little body can withstand my beating!" Boom! The deafening thunder responded to his curses. Ling Fei remained fearless, while Xiao Yan, who had just been resolute, now looked relaxed, smiling from ear to ear as she watched Ling Fei jump up and down, her arms wrapped around her chest...

  Crack! Perhaps it was the person hiding behind the clouds who was dissatisfied with their ease, or perhaps his power couldn't withstand the consumption of the thunderclouds. Suddenly, a red lightning bolt about as thick as an adult's thigh shot out from the thunderclouds towards Ling Fei and Xiao Lan. However, Ling Fei raised his right hand nonchalantly, and his entire right arm glowed with blue light. He grabbed in the direction of the incoming lightning bolt, and a dull thud sounded like a physical collision. In this quiet environment, it was especially startling. A faint ripple spread out, and Ling Fei's long hair fluttered up. The lightning bolt was pulled by Ling Fei's right hand, circling around him and moving towards his back, gradually fading away before disappearing into the air...

  Ling Fei let out a cold laugh, "How's that? You little rascal, aren't you coming out to let this great master... cough, this teacher teach you a lesson?"

  The person hiding behind the clouds was apparently shocked by Ling Fei's sudden appearance, but he didn't hesitate either. Boom! Boom! Six or seven thick lightning bolts shot out from the cloud nest, thicker than before. Ling Fei waved his hand, and a blue light appeared in front of the two, forming a blue protective wall. The lightning bolts struck the blue light as if they were sinking into the ocean. Following the first lightning bolt, it turned into red particles and disappeared...

  The thundercloud suddenly quieted down, no longer as turbulent as before, as if brewing something. Xiao Yan's face changed, and he grabbed Ling Fei, saying: "Big brother! Hurry up and run! It's the Heaven Exterminating Catastrophe!"

  Ling Fei gave a reassuring look to Xiao Lan, who had stopped fidgeting and was now quietly waiting for the devastating blow to fall. Ling Fei burst out laughing, "Little fool, you're still worried about the catastrophe? Today, I'll let you know why flowers are so red!"

  After finishing, Ling Fei hesitated for a moment, and the blue light on his right arm suddenly expanded, almost becoming substantial, enveloping his right hand. The atmosphere became very calm, perhaps it was the calm before the storm. Ling Fei's eyes stared motionlessly at the cloud cave that seemed like a devil's mouth, waiting to see what would appear from there. Suddenly, a red glow flashed through the black clouds, and the darkness revealed a dark red color, looking ferocious and terrifying. Ling Fei disdainfully snorted, waved his right hand, "Hurry up, I still need to go home and sleep, I have work tomorrow!" The person hidden behind the clouds felt their dignity being provoked, and finally spoke their first sentence, with a distant, desolate voice:

  "Ignorant and foolish foreigners! I am the guardian of the Temple of Thunder, protecting humanity's safety. You bunch of abnormals are a species that should disappear from this world, you shouldn't exist!"

  Ling Fei was taken aback, turning his head to look at Xiao Lan in confusion, waiting for an explanation. But the self-proclaimed Guardian of Thunder suddenly burst out in a fierce attack! A massive lightning bolt, as thick as an elephant's leg and close to dark red in color, exploded from the clouds! Its astonishing momentum carried an unstoppable force that struck towards Ling Fei! As soon as Ling Fei turned his head, he felt the anger mixed with the lightning bolt, making him want to give up resisting, filling his heart with despair!

  Ling Fei's mouth curled up in a cold smile, and he suddenly jumped up. In mid-air, without any support, his right fist fiercely smashed towards the giant lightning column. Boom! A burst of intense light flashed by, illuminating the dark night as if it were daytime. Xiao Yan couldn't help but close her eyes. The shocking explosion shook the air, and when the light dissipated, the clouds still lingered, but Ling Fei and the lightning column had vanished without a trace...

  In the Tianqiao River, Ling Fei held his breath and continued to swim upstream, while waving his numb right arm, secretly thinking that this Sky Exterminating Tribulation was not bad, although he could dissolve it, but its powerful impact ability almost made his body disappear...

  Suddenly, Ling Fei felt a ripple in the lake water, and a bad feeling arose. He remembered Qin Shang's premonition: Water, Thunder!

  Ling Fei cursed under his breath, using both hands and feet to swim upstream. It's not a joke! The decomposition of energy doesn't mean his body won't be electrocuted! If he were struck by that massive lightning bolt while in the water, then he would die without even understanding what happened.

  Ling Fei's eyes slightly opened, and he saw a patch of dark red on the surface of the water. His body had already felt the thrill of electrocution... He gritted his teeth and let out a roar, and a burst of bubbles sprayed from his mouth...

  The dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and a figure wrapped in a black cloak floated there, his body flashing with lightning. It seemed that he had used the friction of the lightning to make his body fly up. Xiao Yan's silver teeth were tightly clenched, her hatred bursting forth. Ling Feng had always been the person she most admired in her heart. Without Ling Feng, she might still be trapped in that place without tomorrow, without a future, only slaughter and training...

  At this time, Ling Fei was nowhere to be found, how could she not hate? Her slender body trembled, that almost maddeningly beautiful face had two lines of tears, her hair slowly turned silver, and flowed without wind. Her pupils also turned silvery white, with a black mark printed in her eyes. Xiao Yan's voice trembled: "I want you to pay with your life!"

  As he spoke, space froze again. The person wrapped in a black cloak felt something was wrong, but it was too late. A patch of mercury-like spots appeared around the sky bridge, spreading like a virus, devouring space and advancing towards the person in the black cloak...

  He clasped his hands together, slowly pulled them apart, and a dark black lightning bolt appeared between his hands. With a loud crash, the thunderbolt shot out from his hands and collided with that large expanse of silver, momentarily coming to a stalemate...

  The two men who were fighting fiercely did not notice that the river water had undergone a strange change, with the water level constantly dropping and drying up instantly. A huge concave empty space appeared, and Ling Fei stood in the middle of it, his body dripping wet. His dark silver pupils looked particularly terrifying. Ling Fei shouted coldly: "If you want to move Xiao Yan, you need to get past me first!" Xiao Yan and the black-clothed man stopped their attack at the same time, and the black lightning and silver light disappeared instantly. Xiao Yan's expression was one of joy, while the black-clothed man's expression was undoubtedly shocking...

  Ling Fei's five fingers spread open, her right hand facing the intense lightning and silver that had just frozen in place. Her long, wet hair covered her nose bridge and half of her face, only revealing those dark silver pupils, which were unspeakably terrifying...

  The man in black said in a low voice, "What do you mean! My temple punishes aliens, what does it have to do with you!" The tone of the man in black had already eased up, apparently he was afraid of Ling Fei's strange ability...

  Those two forces that could almost destroy half the city just disappeared completely after being hit by the blue light shot out from Ling Fei's hand, such a bizarre ability is not recorded in the Temple...

  Suddenly, a 30-year-old file flashed through the mind of the man in black. A genius from the world of special abilities, a madman-like man who claimed to create the strongest special ability user in the world, making all special ability users tremble with fear. He declared that the name of this special ability user was Zero...

  The black-clad man's body was already trembling, if it was really zero, he might die here! He was thinking, but Ling Fei had none of the awesome image from just now, grabbing the still wet edge of the pit and struggling to climb up, his mouth also cursing: "F**k your mother, you little turtle egg, wait for me to climb up and I'll trample your head!"

  Xiao Lan stood on the overpass, looking at Ling Fei with concern and shouted: "Boss! Are you okay?! Wait for me, I'll go down and pull you up!" Ling Fei struggled to climb and replied: "No need! I can climb up myself! I'm going to crush that son of a bitch's head!"

  Xiao Yan saw Ling Fei still being his usual self and couldn't help but smile wryly, while the black-clothed man was already thinking about whether to escape or not...
