Chapter 223: Tang San Gets Struck by Lightning, Ma Hongjun in Crisis
Lin Qingmo and Xiao Wu were in no rush to find a Spirit Beast; they were just strolling leisurely through the forest, as if they were out for a walk.
Xiao Wu skipped ahead, occasionally picking a wildflower from the roadside.
She looked back at Lin Qingmo: "A-Qing, if we just wander around like this, how are we going to explain it to Teacher Erlong and the others when we go back?"
"What is there to explain?"
Lin Qingmo followed behind her, his fingertips brushing against the Blue Silver Grass by his side, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.
"We’ll just say we found a suitable Spirit Beast. Besides, you don’t actually need to hunt a Spirit Beast anyway."
"That’s true."
Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue, ran to his side, and hugged his arm, shaking it slightly.
The two of them continued to stroll leisurely through the forest, chatting as they walked, looking nothing like people trying to find a Spirit Beast.
They walked for about an hour.
As they passed a valley, they suddenly heard voices ahead, along with the fluctuation of spirit power.
"Wait."
Lin Qingmo stopped in his tracks, reached out to pull Xiao Wu back, and made a gesture for silence.
Xiao Wu immediately closed her mouth, the smile on her face vanished, and she looked vigilantly in the direction the sound was coming from.
Lin Qingmo pulled Xiao Wu and silently hid behind a thick tree nearby.
He poked his head out slightly and looked into the valley.
He saw several people standing in the valley.
The leader was a man wearing glasses, the Spirit EmperorQin Ming.
Behind him were Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, as well as Yu Tianheng, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Oslo.
There were seven of them in total.
They were surrounding Ma Hongjun, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking nervous.
Ma Hongjun had his eyes closed, and two spirit rings—yellow, yellow—were glowing on his body as he was absorbing a purple thousand-year spirit ring.
His face was flushed red, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his body twitched from time to time.
Clearly, the process of Ma Hongjun absorbing the spirit ring was not easy.
Oh, I didn’t expect to run into them here.
Lin Qingmo’s gaze fell on Tang San.
His aura was still at the level of the thirties.
A cold arc curled at the corner of Lin Qingmo’s mouth.
Without the Immortal Herb, without Tang Hao paving the way for him, you, Tang San, are nothing special.
In the original work, Tang San relied on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and Immortal Herbs to make the Shrek Seven Devils’ strength advance by leaps and bounds.
He himself even broke through to become a Spirit Ancestor quickly.
Now, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Immortal Herbs are all under his control.
Tang San gained nothing, so naturally, he doesn’t have the glory he had in the original work.
Lin Qingmo narrowed his eyes, already having an idea in his mind.
He turned his head, looked at Xiao Wu beside him, and said softly: "Xiao Wu, you go wait for me in the forest ahead first. Don’t go too far. I’ll be there soon."
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment.
She looked at Tang San and his group in the valley, then looked at Lin Qingmo, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.
"A-Qing, what are you going to do? They have many people, and there is even a Spirit Emperor. Don’t do anything reckless."
"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."
Lin Qingmo smiled and ruffled her hair.
"I won’t have a direct conflict with them; I’m just going to cause them a little trouble."
"You go hide over there first, don’t let them discover you."
Although Xiao Wu was still a little worried.
But she knew Lin Qingmo’s abilities and that he wouldn’t do anything he wasn’t sure about.
"Then be careful. If something happens, I’ll come over to help you immediately."
Xiao Wu quickly slipped into the dense forest nearby, hid behind a large tree in the distance, and kept an eye on the situation here.
Watching Xiao Wu walk away, Lin Qingmo withdrew his gaze, and his eyes fell on Tang San in the valley again.
His fingertips moved slightly, and light blue spirit power surged quietly.
Thin Blue Silver Grass vines spread from under his feet, silently extending toward the valley.
This Blue Silver Grass vine was as thin as a hair, completely blending into the soil underground.
Even Qin Ming, at the Spirit Emperor level, could not detect it at all.
The Blue Silver Grass vine extended all the way, finally stopping underground beneath Tang San’s feet.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Lin Qingmo’s mouth.
His fingertips quietly injected a trace of thunder spirit power, blending it into those Blue Silver Grasses.
This thunder spirit power came from his fourth spirit ring, the Thunderous Hell Vine.
But most importantly, its lightning could attract thunder.
Even Tang San, as he is now, could not withstand the lightning falling from the sky.
However, Lin Qingmo did not make a move directly.
He was waiting, waiting for the critical moment when Ma Hongjun was absorbing the spirit ring.
Time passed second by second.
The fluctuation of spirit power on Ma Hongjun’s body became more and more intense, his face became redder and redder, and the veins on his forehead even bulged.
The purple spirit ring on his body had already been half absorbed into his body.
This was the most critical moment for absorbing the spirit ring, the moment when he could not be disturbed.
"It’s now!"
Lin Qingmo’s eyes turned cold, and his spirit power suddenly surged into the Blue Silver Grass.
The Blue Silver Grass hidden underground beneath Tang San’s feet instantly detonated the thunder spirit power within it.
A loud "Boom" was heard.
A bolt of azure lightning suddenly exploded from the ground.
"Crack!"
At the same time, thunder rumbled in the sky!
The induced lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at Tang San.
"What?!"
Tang San’s expression changed suddenly.
He never expected that a bolt of lightning would suddenly strike him.
He didn’t even have time to react.
He could only instinctively release his Blue Silver Grass to form a barrier in front of him.
"Blue Silver Grass, Binding!"
Tang San shouted, and countless Blue Silver Grasses poured out from his palms, forming a thick wall in front of him.
However, could the lightning from the Thunderous Hell Vine be blocked by his ordinary Blue Silver Grass?
A crisp "Crack" sound was heard.
Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass barrier was smashed to pieces by the lightning in the blink of an eye.
The remaining power of the lightning struck Tang San without any hindrance.
"Ah!!!"
Tang San let out a shrill, painful scream.
His whole body was blasted away by the lightning and fell heavily to the ground.
Looking from afar, Tang San was scorched black, his hair standing on end, turning into a standard afro.
His whole body was twitching, the spirit power in his body was completely chaotic, and he fell into paralysis.
This loud noise exploded in the valley.
Ma Hongjun, who was absorbing the spirit ring, was frightened by this sudden huge commotion, and his whole body trembled.
His spirit power instantly became chaotic, and although the spirit ring was successfully absorbed, the Evil Fire induced by the spirit power suddenly went berserk.
Ma Hongjun’s face instantly turned pale.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood sprayed out.
The Evil Fire on his body erupted from his body uncontrollably.
Crimson flames instantly wrapped around his entire body, burning his clothes to nothing.
"Ah! It hurts! It hurts so much!"
Ma Hongjun rolled wildly on the ground, letting out shrill screams.
The flames on his body burned brighter and brighter, and he turned into a human torch.
"Tang San!"
"Hongjun!"
Qin Ming, who had reacted, changed his expression drastically.
He shouted, and without thinking, he rushed toward Ma Hongjun for the first time.
His six spirit rings lit up instantly, spirit power surged from his body and covered Ma Hongjun, trying to help him suppress the berserk Evil Fire and spirit ring energy.
"Don’t just stand there! Come and help!"
Qin Ming shouted without looking back.
Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and others finally reacted and rushed over, releasing their own spirit power to help Qin Ming suppress the berserk Evil Fire on Ma Hongjun.
Only Oscar stood on the spot, looking at Tang San, who was scorched black by the lightning and lying on the ground twitching.
He shouted in a pretentious manner: "I’ll go check on Tang San."
Then he walked slowly toward Tang San.
A trace of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes, and a sarcastic smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Tang San’s miserable state actually made him feel inexplicably good.
