Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Another Helping Hand_1
Around midnight.
Cui Dong opened his eyes and stood up; his heart was calm, without excitement nor joy, without fear nor dread.
Xu Fan nodded with satisfaction and said lightly, “The time has come, you may go up now.”
“Yes,” Cui Dong nodded.
He then stood with his hands behind his back, gazing upward at a forty-five-degree angle towards the sky. The night wind blew, causing his clothes and hair to flutter. Surrounded by the flashing lightning, he cut a figure straight out of a movie scene—an unsurpassed master in his element.
However, soon…
Cui Dong blinked and turned to look back at Xu Fan, his eyes faintly brimming with hope.
Xu Fan found it amusing, yet he seemed to ignore Cui Dong’s look completely, remaining indifferent.
“Um… Master…”
Cui Dong touched the back of his head, looking somewhat embarrassed as he said, “As the saying goes, ‘If you’re going to do a good deed, go all the way.’ How about you give me one more hand and help me up the tower?”
Xu Fan chuckled and shook his head, then grabbed the collar of Cui Dong’s clothes.
“Get ready!”
No sooner had he spoken than Xu Fan pushed off with his feet, and the ground cratered as if struck by a missile, instantly creating a large pit.
Holding onto Cui Dong, Xu Fan ascended like a rocket, soaring into the sky.
“Ah…” Cui Dong screamed in fright.
The torrential rain around them was blown sideways by the blast of Xu Fan’s launch.
But in the blink of an eye, Xu Fan had already brought Cui Dong above the Descending Dragon Tower and then landed steadily on the top.
Xu Fan released Cui Dong’s collar, and Cui Dong, terrified, quickly clung to the body of the tower, his face drained of color.
Cui Dong cautiously glanced down below and immediately felt dizzy and nauseous. He quickly pulled back his head, his heart pounding wildly.
My God, that’s dozens of meters high. If I were to fall, I wouldn’t survive!
Xu Fan drifted back a few meters and raised both hands.
Swish, swish… the Concealment Talisman and the Organ Protector Talisman fell onto Cui Dong and then disappeared like a flash of light, as if they had penetrated into his body.
Cui Dong looked bewilderedly at his body, unable to discern any difference from before.
But he wasn’t panicked; though he didn’t know what Xu Fan had thrown into his body, he understood that Xu Fan was thinking of his well-being and wouldn’t harm him. These measures were surely to ensure his safety in the upcoming moments.
He looked gratefully at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan stood atop the tower’s pinnacle with the night wind blowing, his clothes fluttering with a rustling sound, a true image of a venerable master.
This made Cui Dong quite envious, and even for the sake of looking cool, it ignited his determination to cultivate.
Xu Fan took out the Lightning Summoning Talisman and said lightly, “You should be ready. Next, I will attract the lightning to awaken your power.”
“Ah? So soon? Okay… alright!” Cui Dong gritted his teeth and agreed.
Although he said as much, he wasn’t clear on what he should prepare for.
After all, this was his first experience and there were no examples to follow.
Of course, whether he was ready or not didn’t matter, for Xu Fan had already prepared for him.
Curious yet fearful, Cui Dong widened his eyes and watched Xu Fan, not understanding how he would draw the lightning.
Xu Fan raised his right hand, and the Lightning Summoning Talisman in his hand flew up towards the sky, disappearing into the night, invisible to the eye.
Seconds later, Xu Fan suddenly performed a hand seal and shouted, “Thunderfall!”
Boom, boom, boom…
The dark clouds churned, and thunder suddenly exploded overhead, as if it were right next to the ear, startling Cui Dong into nearly screaming.
Boom, boom, boom…
Another loud explosion sounded, and a column-like bolt of lightning drilled out of the dark clouds, as bright as an extreme pillar of light, coming straight down towards Xu Fan with precision.
The world around was illuminated by this lightning into a sheet of blinding white.
“Ah…” Cui Dong finally couldn’t help but cry out in shock.
However, Xu Fan remained unfazed by the falling lightning, his left hand rapidly forming hand seals.
The lightning that headed towards Xu Fan seemed to suddenly shift from a lion to a lamb, from violent to gentle.
Xu Fan smiled faintly, reached out a hand, and actually grasped the lightning in his hand.
Holding the lightning, with thunder flashing around him, he looked like a deity for a moment.
Boom rumble…
The sound of thunder continued, forming invisible sound waves that swept around, causing sand and rocks to fly about in chaos on the ground.
Cui Dong watched Xu Fan with immense shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Even Thor in the movies was no match for Xu Fan’s current feat.
Such a display was truly earth-shattering.
“Hehe, disciple, be ready!”
Having said that, Xu Fan raised his hand, and the lightning, like a whip, lashed out towards Cui Dong.
Boom boom boom…
The thunder still rang incessantly, particularly intimidating!
Cui Dong was terrified, he could only see a blinding white before his eyes, and nothing else. @@novelbin@@
Suddenly, he felt as if something had hit him, and he lost consciousness outright.
He actually passed out directly from the lightning strike.
At this point, Cui Dong was unconscious, and his hands, which had been holding onto the tower, also lost their strength without him realizing, and his body tilted, ready to fall.
But Xu Fan had been watching Cui Dong all along, and seeing Cui Dong pass out, he immediately reached out and slapped, re-securing Cui Dong’s body onto the tower.
After about ten seconds, Cui Dong’s breath gradually stabilized, and by then his body was charred, with smoke still rising from the top of his head.
Xu Fan carefully checked Cui Dong’s condition, his brow furrowing slightly.
The Tai Xuan Jiuxiao Body had been activated, but less than forty percent, which was far below expectations.
Of course, this situation could not satisfy Xu Fan.
Fortunately, the power of the Talisman had not yet dissipated, which meant that Cui Dong could still endure another lightning strike.
Xu Fan shook his head and sighed, speaking lightly, “You and I have a mentor-student relationship, so now, as your mentor, I will help you once more.”
Straightaway, Xu Fan’s hands formed seals once again, and suddenly lightning appeared in his hand, illuminating the surrounding area brightly with its flash.
Actually, this was the spell once used by Yano Luo, which was very powerful but not fully utilized by Yano Luo due to his lack of skill.
Now, as Xu Fan performed the same thunder spell, the lightning was much more powerful than that cast by Yano Luo.
Just in terms of size, it was several times larger than Yano Luo’s.
While Yano Luo had learned this spell, he had only grasped the basics and had not truly understood the essence of the spell.
To truly unleash the full power of a spell, one must connect with the heavens and earth, utilize the force of the world, and absorb the power of lightning between the heavens and the earth.
In Xu Fan’s hands, this thunder spell was truly unleashed with its full power.
Xu Fan chuckled softly, holding the lightning as if wielding a whip, and swung it fiercely down at Cui Dong once again.
Boom boom boom…
Even though he was already unconscious, Cui Dong’s body still trembled uncontrollably from the electricity.
What do you think?
