Tang Ao's hopes went out of him as his gaze turned lifeless. He took advantage of his moment of relaxation to slash at Ye Zichen's head. There was no room for reaction at all.
"Buzz buzz!"
A dome suddenly appeared, blocking Tang Ao's fatal strike while the purple lightning tribulation struck him. Tens of millions of lightning snakes covered the entire dome.
In that moment, Song Hetong activated the Eight Directions Formation and eight orange pillars of light shot up from eight different directions of the workshop, forming a barrier that blocked the fatal strike for Tang Ao.
"Rumble!"
The ground shook and the walls of the courtyard crumbled, raising a cloud of dust. The metal hut was shaking and swaying due to the impact, Song Hetong and the rest were unable to stand steadily and fell to the ground.
The barrier that was supported by the eight orange pillars of light instantly dimmed down by quite a bit. The dense purple electric snakes outside became more active, and seemed to have the intention of breaking through further.
"This is bad!" We cannot let the thunder tribulation break through the barrier! " Tang Ao had endured six bolts of tribulation lightning, so he naturally knew that its power was extraordinary. This was especially so for the seventh dao, whose aura traversed the heavens and the earth. If it broke through the barrier, then the small courtyard, or perhaps the entire workshop, would no longer exist. Even he himself did not have the confidence to withstand it.
After making his decision, Tang Ao immediately grabbed the divine bow and summoned out Sun-Shooting Arrow Souls with his spiritual will. He nocked an arrow and pulled with all his might. His strength instantly reached fifty thousand kilograms and pulled the divine bow until it was as round as a full moon. The arrow aimed at the spot where the eight orange pillars of light converged, "Sou!" The arrow streaked across the sky like a meteor, heading straight for the dome.
"Bam!"
The Sun-Shooting Arrow Souls pierced the dome with one arrow, and after flying high up in the sky, it fell back into Tang Ao's hands under his control.
The orange coloured electric snakes that were spread all over the dome seemed to have found an outlet and crazily poured into the hole that was about to burst out of the dome. With a crackling sound, they once again converged into a bolt of lightning that struck towards Tang Ao.
"Brat, what are you doing? Stop, are you crazy? " Song Hetong seemed to have seen through Tang Ao's intentions, and repeatedly shouted, wanting to stop Tang Ao.
Tang Ao did not budge, with a thought, he held an ancient axe horizontally in his hand. The obscure words and abstract lines written on the axe told of the distant history, the surface of the axe gradually became bright, sharp, and glimmered with a cold light under the sunlight.
The《 nine overlapping wave axes》 mental cultivation method was suddenly activated. Tang Ao twisted his body and swung the beast. Buzz buzz! The surrounding spirit energy fluctuated, sweeping up a cloud of dust. With the Hegemony Axe Soul at the center, the dust violently gathered.
"What is he doing?"
"What's that?"
Huang Sha slowly took form above Tang Ao. From bottom to head, a Sand Dust Axe that was around the size of a small cottage slowly formed. Its aura was like a rainbow, piercing through the clouds, clashing with Jie Yun's aura in the air.
"He's trying to fight back against the Tribulation Lightning head on!"
"Little Brother Tang, calm down." Song Hetong and the others shouted from below, hoping that Tang Ao could remain calm and hide behind the barrier to avoid the tribulation clouds.
"For cultivators, breaking the shackles of heaven and earth is already a heaven-defying action. Now that the thunder tribulation is not over, how can this noble one sit still and wait for death? " Tang Ao lifted the Hegemony Axe Soul, and the gigantic Sand Axe in the air also slowly rose up, dancing with the rotation of Tang Ao's Hegemony Axe Soul.
"Break for me!"
With a sudden shout, Tang Ao raised his axe and faced the purple lightning tribulation head on. He struggled to wave it, "Boom", and an earth-shattering explosion sent Tang Ao flying backwards, where he could not help but spurt out blood essence.
The shock wave quickly spread out, and once again, Song Hetong and the others who had just stood up collapsed onto the ground. The wall that had previously collapsed and the small thatched cottage that was tilting left and right was completely blown away, as if it had never existed before. The shock wave spread to a corner of the village, and the closer it got to the center, the more miserable it destroyed the structure that was.
The tribulation cloud was instantly split into two, and gradually dissipated in the sky. The heaven and earth instantly became clear, and the enormous axe also slowly dissipated along with Tang Ao's injury, becoming sand that floated along with the wind …
"AHH!" "My head hurts!" Tang Ao climbed up from the bed and shook his aching head. He looked at himself in shock, his entire body wrapped in bandages, extremely similar to some kind of dried corpse.
"What the hell? Old bastard? Lotus Heart? Is anyone there? Give this sovereign a reply! "
"Whoosh!" "Chirp!"
The space trembled as Xiao Kong appeared out of nowhere and lied down on top of Tang Ao's bed, "Master, you're awake! You've been asleep for four days! " Xiao Kong raised his little snake head, his round eyes full of concern.
"Holy sh * t!" Four days! " Tang Ao was also shocked, "Wait, let me think. After I refine the divine bow and bind it with blood, it will be the Lightning Calamity. F * ck me!
It must be because of my brain that I was able to resist this tribulation. " When Tang Ao thought about the terrifying might of the purple lightning tribulation, cold sweat flowed down his back and he felt a wave of fear in his heart.
"Where are they? Leave me alone? " After waiting for a long time, he still did not see a single person. Tang Ao was a little depressed.
"Where?" When Master was in a coma, Miss Lian Xin came all the way to see Master and even helped her change the medicine. The bandages on Master's body was hit by Miss Lian Xin. " Xiao Kong wagged his tail and told Tang Ao everything that had happened in the past few days.
"Right now, they are busy building a new workshop. That day, the lightning tribulation completely destroyed the small courtyard that Master forged, and it even affected houses within a few hundred feet radius. Luckily, Xiao Kong ran away quickly that day, otherwise Master would not be able to see Xiao Kong again! "
Tang Ao's face was filled with black lines, "You are scared of death and you still want to escape?! Did you hear what they said about my injury? "How long will it take?"
Xiao Kong tilted his snake head and thought about it, "I didn't listen carefully, but seeing their nervous and anxious looks, they should be quite serious. They probably won't recover in about ten to fifteen days."
"Holy sh * t!" Tang Ao fell face first onto the bed, his face full of regret.
"Back then, I was merely lucky. I felt that my strength would weaken after being blocked by the Cosmos Sack Formation. Thus, I decided to forcibly resist the lightning tribulation." "Who knew he was injured like this?" Tang Ao wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
"Ah!" Young hero Tang, you're awake! Don't move, your wounds have healing symptoms, it's better to be cautious. This is a soup my grandpa concocted to heal the wounds, drinking it can speed up the healing process. Young hero Tang will be able to wake up in just a few days. Quick, drink it! " It was unknown when Bai Lianxin walked in, but she took out a large urn and poured out a bowl of brown colored medicinal liquid. Accompanied by a strange medicinal fragrance, Tang Ao's body felt comfortable, and the pain also lessened a lot.
"Thank you!" Tang Ao seemed to be eager to recover from his injuries, he picked up the bowl and drank it, then burned the foam on his mouth and accidentally spilled some on his clothes.
"Young hero Tang be careful, I'll feed you!" Bai Lianxin quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it clean before holding the medicine bowl in his hand. He scooped up a spoonful of medicine and blew lightly on it before feeding it to Tang Ao.
At this time, Bai Lianxin was wearing a clean set of clothes. Her face was pale white, and her skin could be easily broken with the blowing of the wind.
Tang Ao was dumbstruck. If it wasn't for Xiao Kong biting down hard from the bed, who knows what Tang Ao would have done. Tang Ao dodged the look in his eyes, dispelled the awkwardness of his and drank the medicine.
After being played by Tang Ao, Bai Lianxin immediately felt embarrassed. A flush appeared on her face that was as white as ice, making her look even more charming and cute.
Tang Ao calmed himself down and pretended not to see, he focused on drinking the liquid medicine.
"Miss Lian Xin, when will my injury recover? I can't just lie there forever, right?" After drinking the medicine, Tang Ao asked about the condition of his injuries.
"Young hero Tang is severely injured! We found Young Hero in the ruins. She had a weird expression on her face. Her chest was pitch black, and from time to time, there was a burnt smell coming from him. There were even some places where white bones could be seen.
We immediately bandaged Young Hero and even though Grandfather suffered some injuries while opening the array, he still personally went up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs and concoct medicinal liquids for you before barely being able to save Young Hero. " Bai Lianxin described the scene where Tang Ao got injured one by one. So Young Hero still needs to meditate and rest, until he completely recovers. "
"Oh!" Tang Ao replied unhappily, he wanted to clasp his fist and bow, but when he thought about the fact that his entire body was tied up, he stopped himself from thinking about it, "Thank you, Miss Lian Xin!"
"Young hero Tang is being too polite! I'll go prepare some food. You've just recovered from a serious illness, so you need to take some nourishment and recuperate. " Bai Lianxin felt lucky as she answered him shyly and ran out.
In the next few days, besides having to eat medicine and recuperate everyday, Tang Ao also took advantage of the moment that Bai Lianxin and the others weren't paying attention to secretly channeling the《 Ancient God's Art of Transferring Heaven》 to recuperate her meridians, and the《 iron sand》 to speed up the healing process of her skin and flesh, especially the wound on her chest.
Tang Ao trained《 iron sand》 to the twelfth layer of the Unbreakable Body. It was said that under this realm, the real thing would be burnt without receiving any damage. But Tang Ao was careless at that moment, and took it all in one go.
"Hm!" At this rate, he would be able to remove the bandages on his arms and legs in three or four days. By then, his chest would have already been scabbed. There will probably still be a month until the great sect examination. "
Tang Ao counted the time between his fingers. "With my current strength, I think I'll be able to compete with Xiao Gudao on equal footing. If I were to put my life on the line, I'd probably be able to crush you."
