C288 When the Martial Arts Competition is in progress (1)

The dust in the middle of the arena had completely dissipated, revealing the two of them were already very strange looking. Gongsun Ze Tian was still a bit better off, it was just that his original snow-white mask had turned dark, as if he was from a coal mine, his hair was more or less standing up, it looked a little messy, as if it was drilled into a chicken's nest. He was only missing a few strands of hair, and the armor on his body was not damaged at all.

When he looked at the old man, he could see that his hair had all disappeared. The hair on his head had all stood up, revealing a curly shape, and his hair was all sticking up on top of his head.

Not only that, because the old man was not wearing any armor, his clothes were already in pieces, and some parts of his clothes even had charred black. The old man was not even wearing any armor, and his clothes were already in pieces, and some parts of his clothes were even scorched black.

There was not a single boot on his foot. The only thing he was wearing was a shoe that no longer had a sole. He just stood there barefooted. The only thing worthy of praise was that even though the two of them were blushing from embarrassment, no one could tell that Gongsun Zhaitian still had a mask covering his face. However, that old man's face was already so dark that it could cover all colors.

How could the surrounding people not be shocked when they saw the two of them acting like this? He had been fine before, but why did he become like this after the dust had settled? Just now, he had vaguely sensed an extremely violent energy. That energy was ferocious, berserk and extremely destructive, but the speed at which it disappeared was also extremely fast, so fast that it wouldn't be wrong to describe it as fleeting.

But where did this extremely powerful energy come from? It was impossible for anyone to control this energy, but looking at the instantaneous explosive strength and intensity of this energy, it was simply not something that a human's meridians could withstand. Even a peak rank 9 expert would not be able to keep this energy for themselves, and there was even the possibility that their body would explode and die from this kind of extremely violent energy.

Since it was impossible for that young man, and Cui Ziyi was even more clear of his own younger brother's inability to interact with this energy, it was even more impossible for his younger brother to have any sort of connection with this energy. Then the only possibility would be some kind of weapon or treasure.

In the Honglong Empire, and even the entire continent, there were still many treasures, but they were extremely rare. Even the strongest warriors could not take one, and could only pretend to have some of the so-called divine weapons, showing just how rare the treasures were in the continent.

And in such a desolate place, there was actually someone who used a treasure. This was definitely something new and fascinating. Of course, with his identity as a Chief Elder, he would definitely not try to snatch them away, he just wanted to have a feast for his eyes.

Just as the Chief Elder was curious about what the treasure looked like, Gongsun Zaitian was feeling extremely depressed in his heart. While being careless, he was also greatly impressed by the old man's reaction.

It turned out that Gongsun Ztian had taken advantage of the constantly rising dust on the ground to completely cover his body, while quickly approaching the old man. He wanted to end the battle quickly, but who would've thought that the old man also had the same intention.

Gongsun Ztian did not intend to be polite with this old man. He originally wanted to use the dust to cover himself, so that he would be able to perform some inconvenient moves. He never thought that this old man would actually help him.

Gongsun Ztian's first thought was to use the Heaven Punisher Technique, because the techniques of the Heaven Punisher Technique were very suitable for close combat, especially the destructive force produced the moment when one touched the body, it was extremely shocking. As long as it succeeded in acting on that old man's body, the outcome of the battle would probably be decided!

Gongsun Ze Tian's body started to emit an irregular electric glow. This electric light was like a spiritual snake that was constantly moving around his body. From time to time, it was like a spiritual snake was spitting out electric light. Like this, Gongsun Zaitian quickly rushed towards the old man who was waiting for him on the spot.

Gongsun Ztian was actually a little surprised in his heart. He did not understand why this old man was standing there unhurriedly, as if he had guessed that he would find him. However, there was no trace of surprise in his expression.

However, at this very moment, to Gongsun Zelai, he had no choice but to give up. Thus, he could not be bothered with the strangeness of that old man. He resolutely charged forward and prepared to defeat that old man in the first round. As long as his attack power was strong enough, even if that old man had any tricks up his sleeve, he could only give up.

When Cui Zifeng was fighting with Gongsun Ze Tian, he discovered some small actions that he couldn't comprehend, and was extremely curious in his heart. He really wanted to know what this little kid actually wanted to do, thus, due to his curiosity, he decided to help Gongsun Ze Tian out, creating a scene where a large amount of dust flew around while quietly waiting for Gongsun Ze Tian's arrival.

Gongsun Ztian's appearance in Cui Zifeng's line of sight caused this old man to jump in fright. Although his expression still remained the same, and his heart did not beat around the bush, the shock in the depths of his heart had already reached an unimaginable degree. Just the electric current circulating around Gongsun Ztian's body and from time to time, he would act in a perverted and domineering manner and continuously reveal the appearance of his malevolent electric current, which was enough to cause Cui Zifeng's brain to short circuit and cause his power to go out completely.

Cui Zifeng had the same thought as his brother, they were unable to tame and refine this kind of extremely violent lightning energy. This was because this energy not only had no benefits to their own meridians, but could also cause permanent damage to them. Hence, the Cui brothers were very sure that this was only the effect of a treasure, not a cultivation technique cultivated to its peak.

In the entire Honglong Empire, and even in the entire continent, there were many people who cultivated arts that contained natural elements, just like the Fire Martial Empire in the southern part of the continent. They specialized in a special profession, called 'Flame Mage'.

Furthermore, with the Surveillance Council's ability to gather intelligence, it was very easy to obtain information on this aspect. The metal, wood, water, fire, and earth elements of the five elements were not few in number.

However, the Surveillance Council had never heard of anyone who cultivated thunder and lightning cultivation techniques. This was obviously impossible. There had once been an expert with a poor brain who had verified that he was using a self-mutilation method to induce the heavenly lightning to strike his body and at the same time refine the thunder and lightning for his own use.

Although he had successfully infused lightning into his meridians, and even used medicine to strengthen them, the lightning that had entered his body had still severely damaged his meridians. The power that he had painstakingly cultivated for so many years had been completely destroyed, turning him into someone who could not even be compared to an ordinary person.

Cui Zifeng still remembered that he had asked his brother at that time, what happened to him in the end. His brother Cui Ziyi let out a long breath, and said with a solemn expression: "Becoming a cripple should be bad enough, but the place he chose, I don't know the reason, was especially easy to attract lightning to, and in the end, he was struck by the falling lightning, and turned into charcoal alive!"

When Cui Zifeng had heard of this matter, his heart had almost burst with laughter. However, after seeing the other party's electric current, they couldn't help but think of that person and that incident. Although the beginning was very nervous, the process was very stupid, and the end was very funny, but this incident had really reminded them that lightning was not something that could be absorbed and refined by humans.

This was like hundreds of thousands of volts being connected to the community, and if there was no transformer to lower the voltage, then the result could be imagined. How could a human's body withstand the might of thunder and lightning in nature?

Therefore, Cui Zifeng focused all his attention on Gongsun Zaitian, carefully examining him and what treasure could emit such powerful lightning. However, even after looking for a long time, he still could not find anything suspicious about Gongsun Ze Tian. However, he did not have the time to continue looking for it, because Gongsun Ze Tian's attack was still coming.

How could Cui Zifeng be willing to allow Gongsun Zaitian to easily hit him, he raised his hand up to block, but the moment his palm made contact with Gongsun Zaitian's fist, an extremely strong current of electricity actually flowed through the other party's inner force and rushed into his body, scaring Cui Zifeng, who quickly retreated. However, the lightning and thunder had a strong ability, since it was attached, how could they possibly escape so easily?

The more Cui Zifeng panicked, the more the electric current sucked him away. In the end, Cui Zifeng's palm actually landed on Gongsun Ze Tian's fist, smashing towards his own chest.

Cui Zifeng was shocked, but he did not panic, this was just a battle, the other side did not reveal any killing intent from the beginning, and he himself had never used his full strength, treating it as a normal exchange of pointers. Although Gongsun Ze Tian suddenly changed his move, and used his own strength, was caught off guard.

But after calming himself down, Cui Zifeng had no choice but to use all of his strength. If he continued to hide like that, even if he did not sustain heavy injuries, he would be in a very sorry state. Thus, after Cui Zifeng gave a loud shout, he activated the energy in his body, raised his right hand and smashed towards Gongsun Zhaitian's face.

Cui Zifeng's entire hand was covered by a mass of black mist, and the skin that occasionally exposed was a strange dark green, as though he had been poisoned.
