Chapter 1052: Just try it and you’ll know?
Qi Yingxuan and the others were momentarily stunned when they saw the purple lightning descending from the sky.
After the initial shock, my first thought was...
Damn, could it be that God really heard their prayers and sent down this thunderbolt to try to bring this troublemaking villain to justice on the spot and annihilate his soul?
Then came the regret: Why didn't they strike that bastard dead? Since they were planning to kill him, what's the point of only sending down one bolt of lightning? They should have used a whole lightning array, sending down eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning all at once, blasting him to ashes! Just one bolt? Heaven is being too stingy!
Stingy God: "..." he~tui~
The moment their thoughts began to form, the once bright night sky, dotted with stars and illuminated by the moon, was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
Occasionally, flashes of lightning could be seen within the dark clouds, and a light drizzle fell from the sky, creating ripples on the sea and wetting Wu Yequan's black and white hair and his black robe.
However, Wu Yequan couldn't care less about any of that at the moment. His eyes were fixed on the long black pen that was suspended in mid-air and faintly enveloped in a familiar aura.
As if recalling some unpleasant memory, his expression darkened: "How did this end up in your hands?"
Ye Wanxi looked at the judge's pen that had come out of her hand with some surprise.
Realizing that this was the thing that had just saved her and her two senior brothers' lives, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but smile.
“A thousand years ago, my master ascended to heaven. The Judge's Pen, as his natal magic weapon, should have gone with him. But he was worried about me and my fellow disciples, fearing that we would be bullied after thousands of years. So he specially left this pen behind to protect us.”
Xiang Yueqi and the others were stunned when they heard Ye Wanxi say that. After they realized what she meant, they all twitched their lips.
He thought to himself, "Master isn't worried about them at all; he's clearly only worried about our junior sister! Compared to our junior sister, we senior brothers are practically adopted."
Let alone being protected by this Judge's Pen, they didn't even know that their master had left this Judge's Pen for their junior sister before this!
Ye Wanxi paused for a moment, then looked up and stared directly at Wu Yequan, coldly saying, "When I first got this pen, I thought Master was worrying unnecessarily. Now it seems that Master wasn't worrying unnecessarily, but rather he was thinking what others thought and had more... foresight than anyone else."
Wu Yequan could easily understand Ye Wanxi's implied meaning. His already cold eyes narrowed even more dangerously as he sneered, "You think you can hurt me and save you with just this broken pen? You're giving that old guy too much credit."
Ye Wanxi pursed her lips: "Whether it's possible or not, we'll know once we try."
Without giving Wu Yequan a chance to react, Ye Wanxi gathered all her magical power at the tips of her fingers and poured it into the Judge's Pen.
"Overestimating yourself." Wu Yequan snorted coldly, raised his hand and gathered a wisp of demonic energy, then struck at Ye Wanxi.
"Junior Sister!"
Qi Yingxuan and the others exclaimed in surprise, and Feng Tianyu simply threw Jiang Lin into the sea to block Ye Wanxi.
The abandoned fourth senior brother, who couldn't swim, was speechless.
However, Wu Yequan's demonic energy ultimately failed to reach Ye Wanxi and the other person. The Judge's Pen, which was suspended in mid-air, seemed to sense Wu Yequan's presence and the danger Ye Wanxi was in.
With a downward stroke of the long brush, another bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky, striking the demonic energy unleashed by Wu Yequan.
Unlike the previous lightning bolt, this one, which struck directly from above the clouds, contained far greater energy and was more agile in its strike.
With a single strike, it dispersed the demonic energy on the spot, and even made a turn, flying towards Wu Yequan's direction.
Wu Yequan's expression darkened slightly, and he quickly moved to the side.
Purple lightning swept past him, barely grazing his clothes, and rushed towards a black-clad man who had just surfaced from the water not far behind him.
"Ahhh..." A piercing scream rang out. The black-clad man, who had been able to fight Qi Yingxuan and the others not long ago and might even have been a little stronger than them, was struck by lightning and turned into charcoal before he could even cry for help.
It wasn't until the man in black had already turned to ashes and been swept away by the rolling waves that everyone belatedly realized what had happened.
Qi Yingxuan and the others stared wide-eyed at the dark clouds and the judge's pen in mid-air, their mouths agape, as if they were dreaming.
"Master's pen... is it really that powerful? It can even summon lightning like this. How come I've never seen it before..."
Qi Yingxuan swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, as if he had thought of something terrible, and shuddered.
Back in the day, he was universally disliked within the sect. Even his master would often shake his head and sigh at him, wishing he could give him a good beating.
Therefore, Qi Yingxuan was arguably the most severely punished among his fellow disciples, including, but not limited to, kneeling at the ancestral master's grave in the middle of the night to reflect on his mistakes, being hung upside down for three days, copying his master's masterpieces three hundred times, and being dragged to the sword formation with the fourth brother for a month...
Qi Yingxuan was quite indignant at the time, feeling that his master's punishments were too harsh. Now, however, he thinks... he should perhaps be grateful to his master for sparing his life.
Ye Wanxi hadn't expected the Judge's Pen to be so effective. She stared blankly in the direction the lightning had struck, then glanced at the dark clouds overhead, lost in thought.
I have this feeling that Lei looks... inexplicably familiar.
These men in black were clearly Wu Yequan's trusted confidants. Seeing their companion of many years killed instantly by a single bolt of lightning, the other men in black were also dumbfounded.
After realizing what had happened, these people unconsciously revealed a hint of panic, fearing that they would be the next ones to suffer.
Wu Yequan's face was extremely gloomy. He looked up and glared angrily at the judge's pen and the dark clouds above, feeling as if he had suddenly returned to a thousand years ago.
That damned old man, he was superior to him back then, and even after he's gone, he still left behind this broken pen to annoy him!
Wu Yequan was filled with resentment and wished he could snatch the pen right now and break it in two.
But upon seeing the purple lightning hidden behind the massive cloud, poised to strike, they ultimately chose to compromise.
He brought the dead back to life with his thousand-year-old body, healing flesh and bones, and making them live again in the world, which was intolerable to Heaven.
Because of this broken pen, he has already been targeted by the Heavenly Dao of this place. If he insists on killing these people now, he will once again alarm the Heavenly Dao.
Wu Yequan was confident he could kill everyone present, but he wasn't sure if this would attract the attention of Heaven and cause him to perish together with them.
If that were the case, wouldn't all his thousand years of planning have been in vain?
Having figured this out, Wu Yequan looked at Ye Wanxi with a cold gaze mixed with a hint of resentment: "Consider yourselves lucky, I'll allow you to live for two more days."
