Chapter 1234 - 1234: I Gave You a Chance!

"Petty tricks, and you dare act arrogant in front of me!"

Lei Gun let out a chilling cackle, not putting Lin Mu in his eyes at all.

He had thought that since the Ten Kings feared this man so much they were even willing to use the Ten Kings Command to bring him over, the enemy they wanted to deal with would definitely be incomparably formidable.

He hadn't expected it to be just a Second Thunder Tribulation.

He swung the Wolf Fang Club in his hand.

Boom!

The Wolf Fang Club slammed solidly into the Tribulation Thunder Thoughts!

The exploding Ghastly Qi instantly shrouded Lei Gun!

"What is this!"

Lei Gun immediately felt countless streams of black air eroding his body.

Even the Wolf Fang Club in his hands, formed from Tribulation Thunder Thoughts, was being corroded.

Pfft!

Lei Gun spat out a mouthful of blood, realizing he had fallen into Lin Wudi's trap, and hastily retreated.

At this moment, Lin Wudi pointed forward with a finger.

"Heaven-Cleaving Technique!"

A gray fine line slashed toward Lei Gun.

Lei Gun hurriedly swung the Wolf Fang Club, trying to block.

But just as the Wolf Fang Club was lifted, he heard a cracking sound.

The indestructible Wolf Fang Club in his hands actually snapped into seven or eight segments, and a hundred thousand Tribulation Thunder Thoughts scattered everywhere.

Lei Gun stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Although these Tribulation Thunder Thoughts were ownerless thoughts, they had all been refined by him; even a Fourth Tribulation Thunder might not be able to blast them apart.

Yet now, they were crumbling apart under the erosion of that eerie black qi.

Eerie black qi?

"Ghastly Qi? You can actually control Ghastly Qi!"

This time Lei Gun was truly terrified.

They also had places like Tianqian Valley, where Ghastly Qi surged everywhere.

They were also among the forbidden lands; ordinary Transcending Tribulation cultivators simply didn't dare approach.

Even experts at the level of the Ten Kings, if they stayed in contact for too long, would be eroded by Ghastly Qi.

Yet Lin Wudi could actually draw Ghastly Qi into his Tribulation Thunder Thoughts and use it to kill his enemies.

"Monster!"

Lei Gun did not hesitate; he turned around and tried to flee.

But he underestimated Lin Wudi's Heaven-Cleaving Technique!

At the moment the Wolf Fang Club shattered, the fine line formed by the Heaven-Cleaving Technique had already reached Lei Gun.

Bang!

As he turned, the fine line cut across his body.

Lei Gun only felt as though his body had been sliced apart by something.

"This..."

Lei Gun's consciousness seemed to be severed as well, growing hazy.

The next instant, with a resounding boom, Lei Gun's body split cleanly in two, then exploded into countless fragments.

After killing Lei Gun, Lin Mu flicked a finger, and all the Ghastly Qi once again drew back into the Tribulation Thunder Thoughts.

He reached out with his left hand, and the Wolf Fang Club, shattered into countless fragments, fell into his palm.

"So that's how it is—truly ingenious!"

Lin Mu possessed the Heavenly Dao Myriad Laws Record; mastering one law meant mastering all laws.

With a casual probe, he perceived the secret within this Wolf Fang Club.

Inside the Wolf Fang Club were a thousand Tribulation Thunder Thoughts belonging to Lei Gun.

The remaining Tribulation Thunder Thoughts were ownerless.

All the ownerless Tribulation Thunder Thoughts were bound together by Lei Gun's Tribulation Thunder Thoughts using a special method, forming a special Tribulation Thunder Thought Magic Artifact.

In the Forbidden Sand Sea where Magic Artifacts could not be used, this Tribulation Thought Treasure was truly an ingenious, unconventional creation.

In the outside world, this method would be completely unfeasible.

Because condensing Tribulation Thunder Thoughts required an extremely long time; the more times one had Transcended Tribulation, the longer it took to condense a single Tribulation Thunder Thought.

Yet in the Forbidden Sand Sea, this difficulty did not exist.

As long as there were Sand Sea Crystals, one could condense Tribulation Thunder Thoughts in unlimited quantity.

This was why Lei Gun had been able to condense a hundred thousand ownerless Tribulation Thunder Thoughts.

"Using this approach, I might be able to give it a try."

For others, they still needed Sand Sea Crystals to condense Tribulation Thunder Thoughts, but Lin Mu had no need whatsoever.

His Divine Sense was incomparably powerful, his Sea of Consciousness filled everywhere with surging Divine Sense.

Whenever he wanted Tribulation Thunder Thoughts, he could condense them at will.

"I can try it later."

Lin Mu casually tossed away Lei Gun's Wolf Fang Club and continued absorbing Ghastly Qi.

Three hours later, led by the Eastern Luo King, seven kings flew back carrying the Western Mansion King's head.

The Western Mansion King was groggy, clearly his Tribulation Thunder Thoughts had shattered, and his Sea of Consciousness was boiling, making him unable to regain his wits.

"King Lin! We've brought the Western Mansion King back for you to deal with personally!"

The Eastern Luo King presented the Western Mansion King's head before Lin Wudi.

Lin Mu ignored it and instead spoke faintly, asking, "That man called Lei Gun—what was his story?"

The seven kings all changed expression.

The Eastern Luo King was even more shocked, exclaiming in horror, "King Lin, my apologies, we were so focused on chasing the Western Mansion King that we forgot about this matter! Lei Gun is the helper we invited, he..."

The Eastern Luo King swept his Divine Sense and discovered Lei Gun's broken remains and the shattered fragments of the Wolf Fang Club not far away, and his face instantly turned a dark purplish hue.

Plop!

The Eastern Luo King fell to his knees directly before Lin Wudi. "We deserve ten thousand deaths. Please forgive us, King Lin!"

The other six kings also realized what the problem was; their faces all grew unsightly, yet none of them could bring themselves, like the Eastern Luo King, to kneel before Lin Wudi.

They had stood high above for hundreds of thousands of years, at the apex of the Stone Gate Realm, and had long forgotten how to bow their heads to others.

The Eastern Luo King did not dare transmit his voice before Lin Wudi and hurriedly signaled to his companions with his eyes.

His heart was surging violently at this moment, suffering a massive shock.

Lei Gun was indeed a helper they had invited.

When they had been chasing the Western Mansion King earlier, they had deliberately dragged things out, wanting to give Lei Gun the chance to kill Lin Wudi.

When they returned and saw only Lin Wudi, they thought Lei Gun had not shown up.

As it turned out, Lei Gun, who possessed a Tribulation Thought Treasure of a hundred thousand Tribulation Thunder Thoughts, had actually been killed by Lin Wudi.

Without a doubt, their little scheme had already been seen through by Lin Wudi!

If they didn't kneel and beg for mercy now, even their families might be implicated.

These old brothers of his still couldn't see it; for the sake of a bit of face, they refused to sincerely apologize—truly foolish!

"You don't need to apologize."

Lin Mu's voice was indifferent. "I gave you a chance. You were the ones who didn't cherish it..."

Hearing this, the Eastern Luo King immediately sensed danger and hurriedly shouted, "King Lin, we..."

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

If not for the matter of Lei Gun, Lin Mu might not have bothered with them; letting them go once would have been no issue.

But these seven kings had deliberately avoided mentioning Lei Gun, wanting him to kill Lin Mu—that was a capital crime!

"Heaven-Cleaving Technique!"

Lin Mu waved his right hand, and fifteen hundred Second-stage Tribulation Thoughts turned into gray lines, slashing toward the seven kings.

"Lin Wudi, you're too arrogant!"

"Killing people should leave a line—you..."

"Fish die and the net breaks! Kill him!"

"Kill!"

Among the seven kings, some cursed, some threatened, some roared in fury.

Other than the Eastern Luo King, the remaining six all struck out, unleashing all their Tribulation Thunder Thoughts at Lin Wudi.

Bang!

The Heaven-Cleaving Technique unleashed by fifteen hundred Tribulation Thunder Thoughts was like a blade that cleaved the heavens, sweeping across the six kings.

Crack!

Crack!

Countless sounds of shattering Tribulation Thunder Thoughts rang out.

The Third Tribulation Thunder Thoughts of the six kings were no match at all for Lin Wudi's blade art and were shattered in an instant.

"Ah!"

Someone let out a shrill scream as his head exploded with a bang, leaving not even a complete corpse.

The others were slashed across the body by the gray line of the Heaven-Cleaving Technique.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Explosions rang out one after another; six of the Ten Kings, who had ruled the Stone Gate Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, were killed just like that!

They had no power to fight back.

Before Lin Wudi, they were as fragile as infants.

"You're quite sensible..."

Lin Mu looked at the Eastern Luo King and said blandly, "Tell me, what's the story with Lei Gun!"
