086. Slay the Demon
slam-la-
It was pouring rain.
A strong wind swept in.
The golden-winged roc let out a piercing roar, its wide eyes fixed on Sun Qiong, uttering the most vicious curse.
But see.
Wind and rain intertwined, divine fire surged from the earth, and clouds and mist swirled.
Amidst the flashes of lightning, golden thunderbolts roamed among the clouds.
The torrential rain crashed into the sea of fire, and at the moment of impact, fog enveloped the entire Pingdingshan Mountain, leaving not a single gap.
Fragments of mist cut through everyone, completely obscuring everything.
Suddenly, the thunder in the sky paused.
The blue lightning was like a herd of beasts, spontaneously making way for their king.
This scene is as if the Milky Way were hanging upside down.
The distance between the human world and the dark clouds is so great that they can be reached out and touched.
Within the dark clouds, a faint golden light, which had initially appeared, gradually suppressed all the darkness.
The whole world was covered in this golden hue.
As the golden-winged roc watched the approaching tribulation lightning, a mixture of fear and anxiety appeared on its face for the first time.
He frantically clutched at the nail piercing his heart.
This thing is indeed powerful, but it was already teetering on the brink of collapse due to his constant struggle.
In just a few more breaths, the Heart-Piercing Nail will no longer be able to bind him.
At that time, he, the Golden-Winged Roc, will directly escape back to Mount Ling.
No matter how powerful this lightning is, can it catch up with Mount Ling?
Sun Qiong's face remained calm, but the peach wood sword she gripped tightly was creaking.
The clouds and mountains collapsed, like an awl pointing directly at the Golden-Winged Roc.
A fierce wind swept in, and torrential rain swept in, leaving only a cold mist over the entire flat-topped mountain.
"Break it!"
The golden-winged roc roared angrily.
The impending death seemed to compel him to unleash his final, terrifying power.
Even the Heart-Piercing Nail that had been binding him lost its effect at this moment and was violently flung away.
We're out of trouble!
The Golden-Winged Roc didn't say a word, but instead poured all its strength into its wings.
If he wanted to escape, he would escape immediately, escaping to a place where even the heavenly thunder could not catch him.
Suddenly, above the sky, amidst the dark clouds...
It was as if a vast ocean had poured down, a towering mountain had fallen, and even the Milky Way had been pulled down by this immense pressure.
It blocked the gale, quelled the torrential rain, and suppressed the divine fire.
Only a vast expanse of white mist remains, proving that this place was once a battlefield.
Boom!
Time stood still for a moment.
The golden world swallowed everything.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she realized what was happening, the rain was pouring down on Sun Qiong.
The heavy rain even caused the divine fire on the ground to lose its color, leaving only boundless white and the golden light that had just dissipated.
Sun Qiong subconsciously touched her hair, which made a rustling sound, but as soon as she touched it, her palm felt numb.
Static electricity?
Sun Qiong was taken aback.
He was at least seventy or eighty feet away from the Golden-Winged Roc. At that distance, just one glance at Jin Lei was enough to make his head stand on end due to static electricity.
The Golden Horn and Silver Horn on the other side were even worse.
The two were clearly visitors from heaven, yet they were so frightened by the divine lightning descending from the thirty-third heaven that they fell to their knees on the spot.
Sun Qiong even saw that the two of them were hugging their heads, huddled together like quails.
If they're all like this, what happened to the Golden-Winged Roc that was struck head-on by the golden divine lightning?
Sun Qiong now only hopes that this divine lightning bolt can eliminate the Golden-Winged Roc.
However, the pervasive fog obscured Sun Qiong's vision, preventing him from seeing where the Golden-Winged Roc was.
As for the Heavenly Eye, he should save his limited magical power for the next divine lightning strike.
It was as if she had heard what he was thinking.
The surrounding wind suddenly became violent, sweeping away all the fog.
hiss!
Upon seeing the horrific scene around her, Sun Qiong gasped in shock.
If the original Pingdingshan, although it collapsed in the explosion, at least you can still tell that it was originally a mountain.
The Pingdingshan of today is more accurately described as a pit or valley than a mountain.
That golden lightning bolt was like an axe descending from heaven, splitting the entire flat-topped mountain in two, along with the divine fire, which was also cleaved in two by the divine lightning.
Amidst the interplay of wind and rain, fire and thunder raged together on Pingdingshan Mountain, turning everything from stones to trees, from soil to trees, into fuel, making the mountain burn even more fiercely.
The dark clouds in the sky seemed to sink down, and from a distance, the flat-topped mountain and the hanging clouds appeared to merge together.
The raging winds pushed the torrential rain even more violently, as if to submerge Pingdingshan.
However, Sun Qiong did not pay much attention to the horrifying scene.
His gaze was now fixed on the golden-winged roc not far away.
As expected, the Golden-Winged Roc, struck squarely by the divine lightning, was the most disheveled of everyone present.
The golden-winged roc lay on the ground whimpering, like a drowned dog.
His soul was scorched by divine fire and struck by divine lightning, yet he still did not die.
Although extremely weak, the Golden-Winged Roc is still alive.
He was first stunned, then his face lit up with ecstasy. He then raised his head fiercely, his half-face scorched by divine lightning contorted in a hideous grimace, while the remaining half of his face revealed eyes filled with venomous resentment.
"You think you can kill me?"
The golden-winged roc roared defiantly towards the sky.
His body was torn apart; only half of it remains now, the other half having been destroyed by divine lightning.
Even with only half remaining, the Golden-Winged Roc still did not show any weakness.
"What a magnificent golden-winged roc!"
Silver Horn gritted his teeth.
The aftershocks of the divine thunder nearly shattered the souls of the two brothers, yet the Golden-Winged Roc, which had been targeted, was still alive.
Not only that, but he also had the energy to point to the sky and curse.
"What happened?"
Sun Qiong didn't believe that the Golden-Winged Roc had the ability to withstand divine lightning.
If he had that ability, he would have withstood Sun Qiong's attacks and directly exploded against him.
It seems even the Golden-Winged Roc himself didn't expect this.
Judging from his stunned expression just now, he probably didn't expect to be alive.
But the thing covering him saved his life.
"What is that?"
Sun Qiong looked at the golden light that had inexplicably covered the Golden-Winged Roc's body and felt a thunderous sound in her heart.
How come the Golden-Winged Roc keeps having so many trump cards up its sleeve?
Even the divine lightning descending from the Thirty-Three Heavens couldn't defeat him in one fell swoop.
"Hahaha, inner demon, you wanted to kill me, but you didn't expect me to have such a trump card!"
The golden-winged roc let out a piercing laugh.
Sun Qiong also frowned and stared at him:
"Judging from your expression, you probably don't even know yourself, do you?"
The remaining single eye of the Golden-Winged Roc fell onto Sun Qiong.
He stared at Sun Qiong in silence for a long time, until the gale gradually subsided and the white mist rose again under the rain curtain, before he finally spoke.
"This is the protection of golden light!"
"I am the one and only Golden-Winged Roc in the world!"
It turns out that the golden light was not the power of the Golden-Winged Roc, but something left on him by the Peacock King!
This golden light is not just for defense; more importantly, it signifies identity.
Golden light from the Buddhist gate.
With this golden light, anyone who wants to kill the Golden-Winged Roc must consider whether they have enough karma to be considered worthy of the Buddhist faith.
Sun Qiong looked at the warning from the Peacock King and slowly narrowed her eyes.
"Do you still dare to kill me?"
The golden-winged roc laughed heartily.
With that golden light surrounding him, who would dare to attack him?
Who in the world would dare to disrespect Buddhism?
As soon as the golden light appeared, even the dark clouds in the sky dispersed a few wisps.
Sun Qiong looked up and could even see a glimmer of starlight.
"Having come this far, I will not stop."
Sun Qiong stared at him coldly, her face expressionless, as she flicked another talisman with her peach wood sword.
As he moved, the western clouds and mist suddenly dissipated, and lotus flowers appeared on the horizon.
In the east, the clouds and mist deepened, golden snakes swirled, and thunder roared.
The two forces converged on Sun Qiong's head, as if they had separated two worlds.
At this moment, Sun Qiong ignored the change. He simply closed his eyes slowly, stepped into the Seven Stars Formation, and muttered incantations.
The thunderclouds in the sky grew increasingly intense in response to Sun Qiong's movements.
"Thunder rumbles in the sky, divine thunder roars. Dragon thunder roars, water thunder churns. Earth God's command thunder and fire, lightning crisscrosses. Divine power unleashed, annihilating evil spirits. The Supreme God commands, swiftly as the law commands!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud explosion rang out in the sky.
The terrifying roar nearly deafened everyone present.
Immediately afterwards, a bolt of golden lightning fell from the sky, striking directly at the golden-winged roc.
