Chapter 344 - 344 Lightning in Control

344 Lightning in Control

Xiao Mingyan knew that Ye Xuan was powerful, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to deal with Zhao Qing and Zhao Pei last time. But this time was different, this was the Xiao clan’s ancestor.

He was Jade City’s top combat power and simply not on the same level as those elders.

“Why don’t I go with him for now…”

Xiao Mingyan wanted to use a delaying tactic and go with Xiao Yi first. It would not be too late to find an opportunity to leave in the future.

However, Ye Xuan shook his head, “Don’t worry about me.”

The simple and unadorned black iron heavy sword appeared in Ye Xuan’s hand again. Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze became a little different.

An invisible air current surrounded the two as if forming a world of its own, isolating them from the surroundings. Xiao Mingyan retreated with A’Tian to prevent themselves from being injured by the spiritual power of the two.

Ye Xuan’s tone was a little regretful, “The last time, those people from the Zhao clan couldn’t take a beating at all. They collapsed after a few rounds and my sword wasn’t even warmed up yet. I hope you can hold on longer.”

Xiao Yi’s eyes were cold, “What big words. I hope you can still say such words later.”

As his face darkened, purple lightning surrounded him, creating crackling sparks. Even the sky darkened, and large dark clouds loomed above.

A muffled sound came from the sky. It was like a heavy mountain pressing on one’s chest, making one almost suffocate.

The sounds of a dry thunderstorm boomed, and the lightning turned into thick iron chains between Heaven and Earth. It was extremely terrifying, and everything in sight was drowned in an ocean of lightning.

Xiao Yi’s figure became extremely tall at this moment. It was as if he was a God born from thunder and lightning. With lightning in his left hand and thunderbolts in his right, he abruptly attacked Ye Xuan.

“So it’s the power of lightning.”

Ye Xuan showed a look of understanding. He stood where he was and didn’t dodge. The giant black iron sword cut through the sharp light, and the dark sword Qi immediately entangled the lightning. The battle was evenly matched.

If one looked closely, one would see that there were tiny sparks on the blade.

Xiao Yi was surprised. He didn’t expect Ye Xuan to easily resolve his attack, “Do you think you can beat me like this? This is just an appetizer.”

In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, and the sky roared, revealing several ferocious beasts. Their purple bodies covered the sky, and their heads and tails could not be seen. Countless lightning dragons stared at Ye Xuan, giving off great pressure.

Anyone with a slightly weaker mental strength would have had their knees go weak and knelt on the ground.

Xiao Yi stood on the dragon’s head and looked down, “Young man, I’ll give you one more chance. It’s not too late to regret now.”

Ye Xuan’s answer was an earth-shattering sword aura that almost cut off a strand of Xiao Yi’s hair. Fortunately, he dodged in time.

“It seems you want it the hard way.”

Xiao Yi waved his hand, and the lightning dragons moved all at once. They came crashing down on Ye Xuan just like they were crushing an ant.

Ye Xuan was surrounded by the lightning dragons but still unafraid. His movements with the black iron sword were so vivacious that only his afterimage could be seen in the air. Even the sword body was producing tiny sparks under the forging of the lightning.

The lightning seemed to have eyes and was about to hit Ye Xuan, but was blocked by the sword Qi. The attack thus slipped and hit the side, and with that, even the web between Ye Xuan’s thumb and forefinger was slightly numb.

No matter how skilled Ye Xuan’s body technique was, there were just too many bolts of lightning in the sky, so it was inevitable that a few of them would strike him. However, his body had been modified by the system, so a few bolts didn’t cause him much harm.

Ye Xuan glanced at his sword. Perhaps it was because it had absorbed too much lightning, but the black sword was flashing with purple lightning.

Looking at Xiao Yi, who seemed to be at ease, he thought of something and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, “If the person who controls lightning was struck by lightning, I wonder what the scene would be like.”

Xiao Yi smiled disdainfully and sneered, “You’re delusional. How is that possible?”

Ye Xuan’s smile widened, “You probably don’t know, but I love challenges”.

He raised his black iron sword high, and the sword Qi became increasingly sharper, entangling with the purple electric arcs. The huge energy ball expanded continuously, and from a distance, it covered close to half of the sky, almost able to compete with the lightning dragon.

Xiao Yi felt a familiar aura. It was his power, but it was being used by Ye Xuan at this moment. His pupils constricted as he exclaimed, “This, this is impossible.”

It turned out that the sword in Ye Xuan’s hand didn’t stop absorbing the power of lightning when he was fighting Xiao Yi just now.

It could both dispel lightning and attract lightning.

The sky was dark, and an indescribable vortex appeared. The lightning dragons were crushed and devoured. The scene of the interweaving sword Qi and lightning was magnificent enough to destroy everything, even the world.

At this point, even Xiao Yi felt fearful. This was not the lightning he was familiar with. The sharp sword Qi within it was something that even he did not dare to contend with.

To think such power was controlled by the young man in front of him.

The sword light illuminated the sky, as well as the scene before Xiao Mingyan’s eyes. He could not describe it with words.

It could be said that Xiao Mingyan would never forget that shocking sword strike. He subconsciously held his breath, and his heart began to race. He even thought to himself that he would be willing to die on the spot.

At this moment, he was full of admiration for Ye Xuan.

Beside him, A’Tian also had a similar expression. However, his cultivation level was too low. The lights and shadows flashed past his eyes, dazzling and only leaving him with a superficial understanding. His head hurt after staring for a long time, and he could only lower his head quickly.

However, he couldn’t help but secretly look up again. Even though his eyes were sore and bloodshot, he still wanted to see Ye Xuan’s movements clearly.

Unlike Xiao Mingyan and A’Tian’s feelings of admiration, the lightning revealed fear and panic in Xiao Yi’s eyes instead. He never thought that the lightning he was so proud of would become his biggest enemy.

However, Xiao Yi had no way to escape at this moment.
