Chapter 499: Chapter 499, Thunder Giant Awakens
"Get lost!"
The sinister elder’s right hand wielded a Long Saber, unleashing a cold slash. A blade light burst forth like an enraged dragon, roaring as it surged toward the Green-Clad Swordsman, the gray air currents in the sky swirling chaotically.
Whoosh!
The Green-Clad Swordsman’s expression remained indifferent as he slashed with a sword, sending out a vague void sword light. The terrifying prowess of these two men kept ordinary Martial Artists from approaching within a hundred meters.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a gray figure descended from the sky, reaching out with his right hand towards the Enlightenment Fruit. It was one of the two gray-clad men.
"Go back!"
The beautiful lady in palace dress sneered, her right hand flicking. Suddenly, the sky filled with petals of pink, brimming with the aura of slaughter, flying towards the gray-clad middle-aged man.
"Godslaying Earth-Sundering Gang!"
Buzz!
Instantly, a layer of gray air currents appeared on the surface of the gray-clad middle-aged man, emitting a misty light that gave off a sense of hardness.
Pu pu pu...
The pink petals transformed abruptly, shooting like sharp light rays toward the gray-clad Martial Artist, colliding with the gray currents, sparks flying in all directions.
Bam!
Crack!
The gray currents dissipated, turning into a white mist that quickly flew away. The petals shot into the gray-clad middle-aged man, leaving blood-red wounds on his body, blood splattering.
The gray-clad middle-aged man dared not linger, retreating swiftly. At this moment, the other gray-clad middle-aged man reached the side of the grand tree, raising his hand to pluck the Enlightenment Fruit.
Boom!
Suddenly, his eyelids twitched as a red fist rapidly magnified before him, the entire space radiating with red light.
"Pfft..."
The gray-clad middle-aged man was sent flying by a punch from Chu Ming, spitting blood mid-air, his face pale with fright as he shouted, "There’s someone hidden!"
Upon hearing this, both the sinister elder and the Green-Clad Swordsman paused simultaneously and turned to look beside the grand tree.
"Damn it!"
Chu Ming’s body darted, his right hand sending out a Sword Essence that shot down an Enlightenment Fruit. He quickly placed it into his Storage Ring as others discovered his presence.
"You’ve got some nerve!!"
The sinister elder’s face turned ashen. Fighting tooth and nail here, they hadn’t noticed a hidden Martial Artist. Feeling betrayed, he flourished his saber, transforming it into a doomsday radiance, darkening the sky as chaotic air currents surged.
"Red Lotus Rain!"
With a calm expression, Chu Ming’s Sword Essence Power from the Sea of Souls surged, forming an astonishing Sword Intent that soared into the heavens. A domineering red light shot out from the Star Trace Sword.
Pu pu pu...
The intense aura of the clash shook the grand tree precariously. At that moment, the nearby resting Thunder Giant opened its blood-red eyes, scanning around before fixating on the sinister elder and others with a sudden gleam.
"Roar!"
The Thunder Giant roared to the heavens, a terrifying sonic wave rolling through the sky like a white tidal wave. The oppressive power, like a mountain, quickly enveloped everyone, causing hearts to sink.
"What a terrifying aura!"
Chu Ming thought silently, swiftly flying away into the sky, but a flash of lightning in his mind made him abruptly stop and return to the grand tree, quietly hiding.
Now cloaked in the Concealing Robe, the Thunder Giant shouldn’t be able to detect him.
Boom!
After the Thunder Giant’s roar, its gaze fell on the grand tree, noticing a few less Enlightenment Fruits. It mercilessly struck, a Thunder Fist with a hundred-meter diameter descending from the sky towards the sinister elder and others.
"No need to hide, let’s attack together!"
The sinister elder’s countenance was dark as he coldly declared. The Thunder Giant, though equivalent to a Great Power of Transcendence, lacked sentient intelligence, limiting its strength. A combined effort might provide a fighting chance.
The Green-Clad Swordsman’s expression was calm as he took a fierce swig of wine, exuding a terrifying Light Sword Intent, turning the entire sky into a sea of light.
"Profound Light Cross Slash!"
Pish! Pish!
Two hundred-meter-long Light Saber beams burst out from the Green-Clad Swordsman, dyeing the entire space gold. Chu Ming’s eyes twitched, realizing the Light Sword Intent of the Green-Clad Swordsman had reached a very high level, perhaps Tier Eight, if not Great Perfection.
"Gale Blood Wolf Slash!"
"Hundred Flowers Fly Away!"
"Gray Light of Destruction!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Six or seven attacks were launched simultaneously, tearing through the space as the gray currents frantically fled.
The combined power of these attacks instantly tore the space asunder, creating a pitch-black rift capable of killing any Invincible Powerhouse of the Guiyuan Realm.
Pu pu pu...
The terrifying Thunder Fist and the saber and sword beams clashed, stalemating as they collided thousands of times in an instant, shaking the space and ripping it apart.
Boom!
Everything exploded, a thousand-meter-high mushroom cloud rapidly rising into the sky, devouring the surrounding air currents. This magnificent scene could be seen even from a hundred miles away.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A powerful backlash struck, sending the sinister elder, the palace-dressed beauty, and the Green-Clad Swordsman reeling back. Others fared worse, vomiting blood.
"Damn it!!"
Suppressing the boiling blood in his chest, the sinister elder’s face was terrifyingly grim. He, the Green-Clad Swordsman, and the palace-dressed beauty, each individually capable of contending with a Great Power of Transcendence, had underestimated the Thunder Giant.
Hiding beside the grand tree, Chu Ming watched the fierce battle between the Thunder Giant and the others, slowly inching towards the Enlightenment Fruit. Though the Thunder Giant couldn’t currently see him, any strike would be beyond his endurance.
As the terrifying air currents fury spread, the sinister elder kept his eyes on the Enlightenment Fruit, knowing Chu Ming was hiding there, an eerie concern gnawing at his heart.
Crunch!
Amid the battle, the sound of breaking branches drew attention. The sinister elder, the Green-Clad Swordsman, and the palace-dressed beauty turned to see only three Enlightenment Fruits left.
"That damn kid!!"
The sinister elder cursed secretly, considering luring the Thunder Giant to Chu Ming, but Chu Ming remained invisible. The Thunder Giant couldn’t see him.
"This kid is interesting."
The palace-dressed beauty let out a faint smile, though her eyes flashed with a cold glint. The Green-Clad Swordsman remained indifferent, his sword techniques growing more ferocious, the sky filled with Sword Light, its sharp intent piercing the heavens.
