087. Soul Break
The divine lightning struck again, landing on the Golden-Winged Roc.
Stab it!
This time, Sun Qiong witnessed firsthand the scene of the Golden-Winged Roc being torn apart by golden divine lightning.
The roc opened its mouth wide and rolled its eyes back, but couldn't utter a sound.
Sun Qiong took a deep breath and looked at the scene with a cold gaze.
Under the strike of divine thunder, the golden light on the Golden-Winged Roc's body trembled slowly.
From this perspective, although the golden light possesses powerful defensive capabilities, it is still slightly inferior when facing the most terrifying divine lightning in the world.
However, this golden light was more of a final warning to the attackers.
Sun Qiong suddenly raised her head, and the usually silent Falling Treasure Coin suddenly moved.
"Is this a warning?"
Sun Qiong looked at the trembling coin in her hand and her expression immediately turned serious.
The falling treasure coin is a warning that an extremely dangerous entity is about to arrive.
Right now, there are only a few people here.
But no matter which one it was, Sun Qiong didn't want to face them at this time.
The divine lightning did not stop; for the duration of a single breath, it remained stuck to the Golden-Winged Roc.
That layer of golden light had already faced divine lightning once.
Under the attack of the second divine lightning, a series of cracking sounds came from the Golden-Winged Roc's body.
The golden light cracked inch by inch under the attack of the divine thunder.
The spreading lightning struck the Golden-Winged Roc, causing him to writhe on the ground in pain.
Sun Qiong could sense that the aura emanating from the Golden-Winged Roc was getting weaker and weaker.
It probably won't take more than a few breaths before the Golden-Winged Roc dies completely.
Sun Qiong stared intently at the Golden-Winged Roc, her face expressionless.
What he is now hoping for is the death of the Golden-Winged Roc.
Once he's dead, all of this will end.
Thunder still roared in the sky, and golden lightning flashed intermittently among the clouds.
Sun Qiong watched this scene without any change in her expression.
The divine thunder did not stop; instead, it intensified its attack and became even thicker.
If it started as a slender sapling, it is now a towering ancient tree that has grown for thousands of years.
Struck by such divine lightning, the Golden-Winged Roc's soul melted at a visible speed.
Starting from the end, the soul of the Golden-Winged Roc began to turn into black ash little by little, dissolving into the world.
"stop!"
Suddenly, a streak of green light shot in from the west.
The blue light was extremely sharp, as if it had pulled the entire western sky over.
The shrieks and roars mingled together, and Sun Qiong felt a blur before her eyes. The golden lightning and the blue light vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Soon, a cloud of mist flew in from the west.
This mist, shimmering with seven colors, was exceptionally clear in the darkness, painting half the sky in vibrant hues.
"Who is it?"
Sun Qiong had a bad feeling.
I never expected that even after getting to this point, there would still be obstacles blocking my way.
The misty sky completely ignored him, simply raising its head and speaking to the dark clouds:
"Laojun, could you spare his life for the sake of this old woman?"
Within those dark clouds, golden thunder rumbled, seemingly deep in thought.
Seeing this, Sun Qiong narrowed her eyes.
The situation is clear: someone has arrived from the west and wants to protect the Golden-Winged Roc.
The golden lightning stopped falling from the sky, clearly indicating that those above were also considering whether or not to let the Golden-Winged Roc go.
However, this outcome was easily predicted.
That seven-colored mist must be the Peacock King who swallowed the Buddha.
With this guy here, it's obvious he's going to forcefully rescue people.
"Ha...haha, cough cough, inner demon, you still can't kill me after all."
Just then, the golden-winged roc that had fallen not far away regained some of its senses in a daze.
He looked at the colorful clouds in the sky and immediately realized what had happened.
The next moment, the golden-winged roc turned its head, looked at Sun Qiong's ugly face, and let out a hoarse laugh.
He knew he wouldn't die.
Sun Qiong had spent so much time and effort on the arrangements, only to have them all scrapped with a single sentence.
Just as the Golden-Winged Roc said, no matter what Sun Qiong did, he had to make changes as long as the bigwigs above gave the order.
Otherwise, it would be a provocation against this world.
There was only one ending awaiting him: death.
Sun Qiong looked at him, her eyes growing colder and colder.
If the Golden-Winged Roc is rescued by the Peacock King, then the mission will end here!
I don't know when I'll have another chance to advance.
Sun Qiong hardened her heart.
Now that things have come to this point, whether we like it or not, the enmity with the west is unavoidable.
Sun Qiong originally didn't want to have anything to do with the West, but since she had offended them, she would offend them to the death!
His eyes flashed slightly, and with a stomp of his foot on the ground, his body transformed into a bolt of lightning, swooping down towards the Golden-Winged Roc without hesitation.
His every move was naturally observed by everyone present.
"How dare you!"
A deafening sound emanated from the colorful mist and pierced directly at Sun Qiong.
The voice was filled with rage and disbelief.
Who would have thought that there would be such a madwoman in front of Laozi and her Peacock King, who would dare to attack her brother!
However, the Peacock King remained calm.
She is a powerful being capable of swallowing the Buddha. Sun Qiong's speed may seem fast, but in reality, for the Peacock King, she could be strangled in a second.
The most important thing right now is not that little thing below, but the Supreme Lord Laozi above the thunderclouds, who has not yet shown himself.
The Peacock King called out three or four times, but the one in the sky did not appear at all.
Since that's the case, the Peacock King will not wait any longer.
She turned her head and looked at Sun Qiong at her feet.
He had now arrived in front of the Golden-Winged Roc, and it seemed he was about to attack it.
The Peacock King narrowed his eyes, flipped his palm, and gathered the magical power in his palm, about to unleash his soul-capturing and life-snatching divine power.
However, at that moment, thunder roared in the sky, and a strong threat made the Peacock King's heart tremble.
She subconsciously looked up and saw a streak of golden lightning streak across the clouds, passing by her as if it were unconscious.
Even she wouldn't dare to withstand such divine lightning.
It was this oversight that caused things to change.
Sun Qiong waved his hand, and a bolt of lightning struck down, crashing heavily into the shattered soul of the Golden-Winged Roc.
This seemingly weak lightning, which normally couldn't even harm the flesh of the Golden-Winged Roc, was now like the last straw that broke the camel's back, easily shattering the Golden-Winged Roc's soul.
When his soul was struck by divine lightning, even with the resistance of golden light, he could not withstand it, and his soul was almost shattered into ashes.
But if we intervene at this moment, rescue him, and take him back to the Western Paradise, he might still have a chance to survive.
We can find some rare and precious materials later and eventually rescue the Golden-Winged Roc.
But now, Sun Qiong's palm strike directly shattered the Golden-Winged Roc's soul.
Now, the Golden-Winged Roc is gone forever. He has completely returned to the world, and perhaps only after the great calamity of 129,600 years will there be a chance for him to come back to life.
But that chance is extremely slim.
"You! You're asking for it!"
The enraged Peacock King did not hesitate to swing his hand at Sun Qiong.
The magical power she had been hiding in her hands was unleashed at this moment, and a vast and mighty force, following the movements of the Peacock King, fell towards Sun Qiong.
This power seemed to carry boundless terror, as if it had brought down the power of the entire Western Paradise.
Sun Qiong was overwhelmed by this immense power and could hardly breathe.
My body felt like it was being submerged in an entire ocean; not only my fingers, but even my heart seemed unable to move.
Sun Qiong saw death; from this colorful haze, she read her own death.
This is the power he desires most, and the realm he most anticipates.
"I want to have that power too."
But Sun Qiong is not panicking at the moment.
The one in the heavens will definitely not let the Golden-Winged Roc go easily.
So today, it will only be a close call, but no real danger.
Sure enough, as the great power descended, the divine thunder seemed to sense the anger of the celestial beings and exploded in mid-air.
