Chapter 1530: Goodbye, Junior Brother
Chapter 1530: Goodbye, Junior Brother
Leiting Zi deflected the scimitar with his mallets as he roared, "That's because they thought highly of you!"
"When those elders learned of what happened, they told the victims to forgive me."
Leiting Zi: ...
"This happened not once or twice, not even ten or twenty times—but despite my history, when the victims found me, do you know what the elders said? 'Just bear with it for a moment, and all will be calm. Take a step back—the whole world awaits!'
"More importantly, those victims actually accepted such an outcome! Do you really think this is a matter of 'thinking highly of me'? I can't imagine why they would do so repeatedly unless they had made a hobby out of it."
Leiting Zi found himself so stupefied he didn't know how to argue against his senior brother's claim.
The lax attitude of the Leiting Domain had twisted Leiting Ya's psyche and caused him to develop his perversion.
Leiting Ya had grown accustomed to such behavior and even deluded himself into thinking that the entire Leiting Domain shared such a vile hobby.
"Something's wrong with all of them, Junior Brother."
To others, Leiting Ya was a maniac; to Leiting Ya, everyone else was a maniac.
Leiting Zi swung his mallets about. "Doesn't that mean that they think so highly of you that it goes beyond common reason?!"
His lightning of yin and yang sparked as it flashed through the air.
"Something's wrong with you too, Junior Brother."
Leiting Ya's scimitar shattered as he stepped back, blood spilling from his mouth. "It's because I knew that they had such a hobby that I chose to play my part, no matter how tired of it I was. Do you think I wanted to do so?!"
Leiting Zi scoffed. "As if someone forced you to do it!"
"Right, I wanted to do it— but do you think I liked doing it?"
Leiting Zi hesitated.
Cuckolding someone in the sect day in, day out, for an entire year and more—no matter how much pleasure Leiting Ya derived from the act in the beginning, surely it would have diminished over such an extended period of time.
Could there really be more to the story?
"Of course I liked it! If I could do it all over again, I would." Leiting Ya smirked, revealing his teeth. Around him, all manner of grass, shrub, herb, and plant began to grow: some in gold, in purple, and in green. All radiated with luster as his injuries healed. [1]
Leiting Zi gaped, angered beyond measure. Lightning flashed through the heavens and coalesced around his mallets in gold and black.
Leiting Ya clawed the ground, causing the greenery to grow even more quickly, transforming into a cliff of lightning.
What it contained wasn't the destructive energy of lightning, but a shocking vitality and natural energy.
Leiting Ya was able to manifest such a construct from an impossibly deep understanding of lightning.
With a wave of his palm, that cliff extended above Leiting Zi's head as though he were wearing a green hat. [2]
"What can this vital lightning of yours even do in an attack?" Leiting Zi demanded. He swung his mallets about, causing twin beams of yin and yang lightning to strike each other in an explosive beam of light.
The green cliff that Leiting Ya had manifested crackled as the green lightning seeped out from it. Leiting Zi blanched as he sensed something wrong with his body.
As the lightning brimming with vitality infused his body, something abnormal began to happen.
His wounds healed quickly—and then went further. The vitality brimming within the green lightning was so intense that his blood and flesh continued to grow and grow. Leiting Zi's physical body contorted as tumors grew all over his body.
Leiting Ya smiled brightly. "This is a method of using my vital lightning that I discovered after being expelled from the sect. You must not have seen it before."
Fang Yi frowned. "It's almost like the effects of radiation, or cancer..."
Leiting Zi hastily tried to dispel the influence of the vital lightning running rampant through his body.
Leiting Ya's palms shone with lightning. "Goodbye, Junior Brother. I have to say, your childhood sweetheart was rather ordinary in looks and in physique, but quite unrestrained in bed."
He clasped his palms together, reuniting the concepts of destruction and vitality in an astounding blow.
"How long are you going to keep watching for?!"
Leiting Zi was forced to drop his pride and ask for help against an opponent as odious as Leiting Ya, whom he wanted to kill at any cost.
Fang Yi had been watching the show with surprise and astonishment, but it seemed as though the time for being a spectator was over.
He couldn't let Leiting Zi be eliminated at such a juncture.
"[Tiger's Howl, Dragon's Bellow]!"
Fang Yi's spear took on the aspect of a dragon of the winds and a storm tiger as he charged forward.
Wind and storm roared around him, and his spear resonated with his genetic energy. The spear which the king of chaos had granted him demonstrated shocking strength, infusing chaotic energy into the mix and nullifying the energy of vitality and destruction.
The combination of wind and storm, and vitality and destruction, led to an explosion of light.
By the other side of the altar, Feng Xian's clothes fluttered in the wind. As she spread her arms, a phoenix cried out to her back and appeared on the battlefield in a shower of red light. The phoenix shot straight toward Sun Mengmeng.
Sun Mengmeng flew gracefully through the air, almost like a sprite or fairy. Purple flame manifested over her palms and wove a net that caught the phoenix.
Golden lotuses bloomed thirty meters tall, overwhelmingly huge, golden from stem to root to leaf to flower.
The golden lotuses seemed to be endowed with divinity, with command over nature and the environment.
As the golden lotuses shook, they emitted golden runes, sending flames roaring higher and higher.
Three arrows, brimming with purple flame, flew forward like tracking missiles.
"[Lunarflame Shot]!"
The three flaming arrows exploded in mid-air in a brilliant burst of fireworks. A sea of flames formed where they had struck.
"[Baptism of Hellfire: Full Moon]!"
Sun Mengmeng whirled her daggers all around her as a black moon rose into the air.
The ground exploded. Flames burst into the sky. Cracks of lava spread across the ground. Sun Mengmeng stabbed forward with a dagger, the black moon behind her exploding as she shot forth.
Purple flames transformed into Sun Mengmeng's raiment. A long tail of flames whizzed by behind her, radiating a phantasmagorical glow. Like a meteor, she shot forward.
1. At this point I really wonder what the author thinks about when he writes this novel... ☜
2. In Chinese, someone who 'wears a green hat' has been cuckolded. ☜
