232 Lightning Tribulation 2
The first spear charged furiously toward the lightning. From others\' points of view. There was nothing that can be seen from this spear. It was only a normal thrown spear. But, the moment it clashed with the lightning. It was not blown away.
The spear continued its charge without even stopping. The long lightning body suddenly clogged up at its tip where it met the spear. The lightning\'s tip started inflating. And finally, the spear lost its momentum and fell to the ground.
At that time, Alex had thrown his second spear. This time, the spear had a very mighty penetrating power with its spin. When met with this spear, the inflated lightning burst out like a balloon. As soon as the spear burst it out, it continued and pierced through the entire lightning body.
The spear managed to pierce and destroy the lightning, so Alex did not take out his sword. Judging from the result, this strategy seemed to be useful. Alex was thinking of using the strategy again for the seventh wave.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of someone\'s shout.
"I found flying monsters along with Grandmaster Stage Monsters."
Alex looked in the direction where the sound came, turned out it was Leoz\'s voice. Sherry also reported it, "Wuu."
It was the same in her direction. There were a couple of flying monsters with Grandmaster Stage monsters. All of those monsters were charging at him.
Alex frowned. He thought about speeding up the process of this tribulation. But, something even more ridiculous came to him.
"Young Master, a group of people came to us." Anna shouted at him.
Alex floated above the trees and saw the group of people that were coming toward him. According to his Spirit Eyes, there were twenty Martial Masters and ten Martial Grandmasters. The grandmasters were around 1-Star to 4-Star, but there was a single 6-Star Martial Grandmaster. He should be the leader.
He knew the trouble that the monsters would give him. But, those people will be the ones that will become troublesome for him. Before he could continue observing them, the lightning tribulation sent its seventh wave. Alex\'s eyebrows twitched, he was a bit annoyed at this current predicament.
"Seven Stars Cut!" This time, Alex didn\'t hold back. He used his Seven Stars Cut with his Sword Intent. Alex managed to use four layers Seven Stars Cut. His cultivation allowed him to do so. Before, he couldn\'t use it because his cultivation was not enough. After reaching the 9-Star Martial Master, he was able to unleash it.
Four layers of Sword Wave immediately fused. The sword intent became the catalyst to fuse them. After all the sword waves fused, the sword intent continued covering them. The tyrannical that far surpassed his three layers Seven Stars Cut flew toward the lightning.
The result was obvious. With an attack that strong, came to its way. The lightning was pushed back to the cloud. It destroyed the lightning immediately and gave him a bit more time to reorganize their position.
Alex immediately looked at the monsters. He focused on the Grandmaster stage ones since the Master stage ones might not give him much trouble. The monsters were trying to attack his barrier, but it should be able to hold for a bit longer.
Then he turned his head toward the group of people. They were rather brave. To think they still came toward him when the monsters were here. They sneaked around the monsters and passed through them. They appeared from the direction where there were no monsters.
Although some monsters were coming their way, they were only low level monsters, and they killed the monsters easily. Alex said, "Leoz, Sherry, go to Anna."
"Understand"
"Wuu"
Anna narrowed her eyes. Her eyes became dangerous as she came in front of them. Of course, she was still behind the barrier. "What are you doing here? Are you the one who calls the monsters here?"
Anna looked at the 6-Star Martial Grandmaster. It was a very old man. Obviously, the group was astonished by Anna\'s beauty. They never saw any lady whose beauty was close to her. Leoz and Sherry finally came.
Anna was a 3-Star Martial Grandmaster. Upon seeing Leoz, who was also a 3-Star Martial Grandmaster, they were a bit surprised. When Sherry came, they were not that surprised since Sherry\'s strength was only 1-Star Grandmaster.
Unfortunately, as one should expect. Upon seeing Anna\'s beauty, no normal young man can resist.
"Grandpa, I want her." A young man suddenly shouted. The young man had bluish hair. He wore a fancy robe like a young master. Sadly, his face was rather...ugly.
Upon hearing that, Anna, Leoz, and Sherry immediately frowned. Alex, who was on the distance, also narrowed his eyes as killing intent started seeping out from him. He did not know why, but Alex suddenly wanted to kill that man. Well, he had considered Anna as him, so this reaction might be reasonable.
The old man looked at the yellow barrier. He might be able to destroy the barrier if he used his full strength. But he might become too exhausted after he destroyed the barrier. He looked at Alex, who seemed to be the one who was behind this phenomenon. When he saw Alex\'s cultivation, he seemed to be only a 10-Star Martial Master. He knew that this lightning tribulation was for him to advance to Grandmaster Stage. So, he started looking down on them.
He looked at his grandson, who was captivated by Anna\'s beauty. "Young Lady, how about releasing this barrier. I can help you out of this predicament. The barrier seems a bit strong. But, sooner or later, the monsters will be able to break this barrier and swarm all of you. If you agree to be my grandson\'s wife, I will help you."
The rest of the group looked at the old man. He was the previous Family Head of the Quinto Family. When they were about to set off, this old man suddenly came to them, saying he was curious. Because of his strength, they did not dare to reject him. And he seemed to be confident in protecting his grandson.
Anna snorted, "Old Man, you should castrate your grandson before he ruined your entire family because of his lust. I give you one more chance, scram from here."
"Hmph, with your puny 3-Star Grandmaster strength, you think you can fight all of the monsters and us here. Hmph, I also know that you don\'t have any identity. I have remembered all the geniuses from all four kingdoms and four sects."
"Then, you can try. My master is the special Core Disciple from Heavenly Sword Sect." Anna said, while looking at Alex.
"What special Core Disciple. Core disciple in Heavenly Sword Sect only for those who are in Martial Lord. He is not a Martial Grandmaster, yet you claim he is a Core Disciple? Hmph, who do you think you are trying to fool? I will give you one more chance. Make a Heavenly Oath and swear to be my grandson\'s wife, and I will spare you."
"Sigh. Ugliness can be fixed, but idiocy can\'t" Anna looked at them with disgust.
"You. After the monsters destroy this barrier, I will cripple you, and my grandson will play you through your life."
This time, Alex was really pissed. He took out Leoz\'s card and checked it.
[Leoz (Thunder)
Level: 23/80 (3-Star Martial Grandmaster Stage)
Exp: 101384/130000
HP: 5800
ATK: 290
DEF: 285]
Before he could talk, The eighth wave had come toward him. The fire started hovering on his sword. They danced together with the Sword Intent. He raised his sword and swung it toward the lightning.
"Elemental Sanguin Sword Art. Fifteenth Slash"
The red colored sword wave made its way toward the lightning. When they clashed, the power was equal. But the flame element in the sword wave threw off balance between them. The flame element started spreading on the lightning and burned the lightning bit by bit.
After ensuring the lightning had died. Alex finally had the chance to talk.
He talked to Leoz with his card so that the others won\'t notice it. Alex said with a cold tone, "Leoz, I will make the lightning rod array explode. It should send some sparks toward the monsters on the ground. Coming from my ninth wave of lightning tribulation. All Foundation Stage Monsters should be killed along with most of Master Stage monsters. I doubt the flying ones and Grandmaster Stage ones. But I think you can destroy them.
The exploding lightning will make its way and roast all of my arrays. At that time, the barrier will break, so make sure your timing is right. As soon as the array breaks, I will use the exp cards and elevate your level. Make sure you kill them. Well, leave some of them alive, I will interrogate them myself. And one more thing, make sure that \'young man\' is alive. I want to kill him myself."
"Understood." Leoz nodded as he grinned dangerously. He looked at the old man and the rest, like looking at foolish people. "Haha, you guys have pissed someone you should not piss the most. None of you can leave this place alive."
"You are talking big." The old man snorted.
Anna immediately realized what Leoz meant. She looked at Alex as a sweet feeling filled her heart. Slowly but surely, Alex had opened his heart to her. Just a bit more, she can become his once again.
"I suggest you run away now. No, it will be better if you kill yourself-"
"Crack!" Before Leoz finished his sentence, a cracking sound was heard. He looked at it and saw the barrier started cracking. The monsters managed to crack the barrier, and it will be destroyed sooner or later.
"Hmph, you forget your own position." The old man harrumphed when he saw the crack on the barrier.
"Beauty, how is it? It is better to be my wife. I will ask my grandfather to save you." The young man finally said.
But before Anna said anything, the monsters managed to destroy the barrier and started entering the barrier through that gap. At the same time, the cloud sent the ninth lightning tribulation.
Alex immediately activated the Lightning Rod Array. Upon seeing the activation, the old man instantly realized there was another Array inside this barrier. He thought that the barrier was made by other people, and the young man who was undergoing the tribulation just managed to find it and take advantage of it.
It turned out that it was not the case. The young man in front of him was the Array Master that made all of this array. He actually offended an Array Master. He sweatdropped.
\'I offend an Array Master? What should I do? Kill my own grandson and apologize to save my life and the entire family? No, he might not want to accept my apologies. Then, I should kill him, even if he is an Array Master, he is only a Martial Master. I should kill him before he managed to breakthrough to Grandmaster Stage. Sh*t, it will be better if you are not an Array Master!\' The old man thought.
He realized that Alex was the array master because of the Lightning Rod Array. Every cultivator should recognize what kind of existence of the Lightning Rod Array. In this world, there was no pill that can boost one chance in breakthrough, especially when Lightning Tribulation came in their way.
The only one that can raise the chance was Lightning Rod Array. This was the first reason why Array Masters were prestigious. They were the only ones who can make a Lightning Rod Array to boost their chance to breakthrough.
If the Lightning Rod Array was built by someone, that person will fight and protect him. Seeing there was no such thing. That meant the only possible reason was the young man that was undergoing his tribulation was the one who made the array. This young man can not be left alive was what he thought.
After activating the array, the lightning obviously struck the Lightning Rod Array. But before the Lightning Rod Array dispersed the lightning. Alex made it unstable.
When the Lightning Rod Array became unstable. The lightning inside it went berserk. It will rampage on the ground for a while before naturally dispersed by the ground. Alex immediately floated a bit higher. Leoz, Anna, and Sherry, along with those people, were in the safe height, so they did not move. They still did not know about Alex\'s plan, though, except Leoz.
The rampaging lightning started sparking on the ground. They were like a snake, spreading while killing everything on its way.
