Chapter 100: Lightning Strikes The Acupoint Tree, Heaven Breaks The Hidden Dragon Formation
Two strange birds circled in the sky, then swooped down at Hu Ba Yi. Just as they were about to reach his head, a burst of gunfire sounded from nearby.
It turned out that Wang Pang Zi had found a Thompson Submachine Gun from the ammunition box inside the cabin and started shooting at the strange birds in the sky.
This Thompson Submachine Gun, also known as the Chicago Typewriter, was the favorite weapon of the Beautiful Country’s mafia back in the day. Its firepower was extremely fierce. Wang Pang Zi was an excellent shot; after firing a magazine, the two strange birds fell from the sky.
“Well done, Commander Wang!”
Hu Ba Yi cheered.
Wang Pang Zi chuckled and held up the Thompson Submachine Gun in his hand, saying:
“Old Hu, the cabin is full of good stuff, much better than our Type 64s!”
Hu Ba Yi turned and walked into the cabin, only to see it filled with crates of American military arms. This airplane was precisely the one that had flown from White Elephant Country to support Huaxia during the War of Resistance. Perhaps its magnetic field was disturbed as it flew over Insect Valley, causing it to crash onto the Husband and Wife Banyan Tree.
Each of them took an assault rifle and a lot of bullets, and then they brought one for Xue Li Yang as well before climbing down from the tree.
At this moment, Su Mo and the others had already gotten up and were standing under the tree, looking at the two shot-down strange birds.
These were two owl-faced owls, appearing to be a male and a female. They had been hunting for food in the tree crown and attacked after being startled by Hu Ba Yi, but were shot down by Wang Pang Zi’s magazine.
Wang Pang Zi handed the Thompson Submachine Gun to Xue Li Yang:
“Commander Yang, take this!”
Xue Li Yang took the Thompson Submachine Gun and checked it, finding it to be in excellent condition. The parts were all greased, and the protective measures were thorough, making it look as good as new!
Hu Ba Yi then handed Xue Li Yang a lot of bullets. Xue Li Yang was also a good shot and quickly loaded the bullets into the magazine and chambered a round.
Little Brother, who didn’t use guns, simply stared at the Husband and Wife Banyan Tree, lost in thought:
“How did this airplane fall into the tree?”
Su Mo smiled and said:
“Heaven is about to break the acupoint of King Xian’s tomb, preventing him from ascending to immortality!”
After the commotion caused by Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi, it was nearing dawn. A sliver of fish-belly white appeared in the eastern sky, followed by streaks of sunlight breaking through the clouds.
Su Mo glanced at the sunlight in the sky and suddenly felt a surge of heroic spirit. He looked up at the giant Husband and Wife Banyan Tree, let out a loud laugh, drew the Frost Moon Sword from his back, and walked towards the base of the tree.
He took a few steps to the base of the tree and looked at the two twisted and intertwined tree trunks. He saw that a fissure had indeed appeared between the trunks due to the airplane’s impact, with faint traces of blood appearing and disappearing within it.
Su Mo let out a hearty laugh:
“Excessively extravagant, murderous, sacrificing countless innocent people of the Dian Kingdom just to ascend to immortality and attain bliss! Since Heaven wishes to destroy you, I shall assist Heaven with this sword!”
With that, he raised the Frost Moon Sword, aimed it at the fissure between the tree trunks, and slashed down fiercely.
*Chop!*
The power of a Martial Saint bottleneck, combined with the force of the Four-layered Futuo Technique, instantly cleaved a massive sword mark into the trunk of the Husband and Wife Banyan Tree through the sharp sword energy!
A dense black qi immediately billowed out from within the tree trunk!
The black qi gathered at the acupoint of King Xian’s tomb was instantly shattered by Su Mo’s sword and surged upwards towards the sky.
Immediately after, a large mass of thick black clouds drifted in from the sky, quickly covering the sun and obscuring the sky. Thunder rumbled continuously within the black clouds, like the beating of war drums, and then a colossal bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the clouds, resembling a giant sword falling from the sky, instantly splitting the Husband and Wife Banyan Tree.
“Master Su, be careful!”
Xue Li Yang cried out in alarm, fearing that Su Mo would be injured by the lightning.
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi also exclaimed:
“Master, be careful!”
Su Mo, however, merely let out a cold laugh:
“Don’t worry, this lightning is striking King Xian, it won’t harm me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, another bolt of lightning struck from the sky, hitting the exact same spot as the previous one.
Zhang Qiling and the other three were all stunned speechless.
This scene was like the legendary tribulation of demons, with the God of Thunder smiting them. Two different bolts of lightning precisely hitting the same spot was too mystical!
Although Su Mo was not afraid, he still retreated a few meters, moving back to a spot outside the tree crown’s shade.
As he retreated, several more bolts of lightning struck from the sky, all hitting the same astonishingly consistent spot. It was as if a giant god in the sky was aiming at this Husband and Wife Banyan Tree and slashing down with its sword relentlessly!
Hu Ba Yi and the others were all dumbfounded:
“My heavens, is King Xian undergoing tribulation?”
“It seems even Heaven wants to destroy this demonic creature!”
Su Mo said:
“King Xian set up a Hidden Dragon Formation in this Zhelong Mountain’s myriad insect valley, intending to use the Dragon Vein and the essence of Heaven and Earth to gather power and ascend to immortality in one go. Unfortunately, Heaven wishes to destroy him!”
“This airplane falling from the sky has already broken the acupoint of King Xian’s tomb, and the sword strike I delivered has aided Heaven’s power, completely shattering its acupoint!”
“Now, with thunder and lightning in the sky, it is time for King Xian’s tomb to be destroyed!”
As he spoke, two more bolts of lightning struck, making a total of nine bolts, no more, no less, including the previous ones!
The Husband and Wife Banyan Tree was now scorched black from the lightning strikes, and a raging fire had erupted in the tree crown. The fissure that Su Mo had cut between the tree trunks began to emit loud cracking sounds, as if it could no longer bear the weight of the tree crown and the airplane above, and was about to completely split open.
“Retreat!”
Su Mo quickly warned them upon seeing this.
Zhang Qiling and the others quickly retreated again, moving thirty meters away from the Husband and Wife Banyan Tree.
They had just stopped when the Husband and Wife Banyan Tree let out a loud roar, and then the tree crown completely collapsed to both sides. The two twisted and intertwined tree trunks split open directly from the middle, revealing a jade coffin to everyone.
This jade coffin was crystal clear like crystal in its lower half, and blood-red for the most part. It appeared to be made of semi-transparent jade, and the coffin was filled with a bright red liquid like blood!
Countless blood-like lines extended from the outside of the jade coffin, reaching into various parts of the tree trunks, like blood vessels spread throughout the entire trunk!
Now that the tree trunk had broken, the fire in the tree crown had not yet extinguished, resembling two giant bonfires, illuminating the jade coffin in the center with a blood-red hue, making it appear even more bizarre!
Many of the bloodlines within the tree trunk had also been scorched black by the lightning, and a pungent, burnt odor filled the air.
Dense black qi continued to rise from beneath the tree, soaring into the sky like a giant black dragon, merging with the black clouds above.
The thunder in the clouds was incessant, like the beating of war drums, sending shivers down one’s spine!
