264: Chapter 260: Shocking 264: Chapter 260: Shocking Thunder Light burst forth from Chen Hai’s body, sweeping around him.
At that moment, the surrounding darkness seemed to be completely dispelled, making the entire area appear as if it were broad daylight.
Regrettably, this unbelievable scene came quickly and left just as fast!
Ye Cheng and Fang, among others, had not yet recovered from their extreme shock before the overwhelming Thunder Light had completely vanished.
Above, the continuous rain persisted, and the flashing lightning had almost entirely disappeared.
Without the illumination of the Thunder Light, everything around them had once again been engulfed by darkness.
People looked at each other, wondering.
If it were not for everyone present clearly remembering the shocking scene they had just witnessed,
they might really think that what they had seen was just an illusion and had not actually occurred.
“Hey Fang, come, slap me, and see if I’m dreaming,” said Ye Cheng.
Although he had long known that his cheap brother-in-law was truly capable,
the scene of the Thunder Light bursting from Chen Hai’s body still had him wide-mouthed in astonishment, unable to close his mouth for a long time.
“Slap what?
Are you itchy for a beating?”
“If you want to wake up and confirm that you weren’t seeing things, follow my lead and pinch your own thigh!”
“I’ve already pinched myself several times, proving that the Thunder Light we saw is real, and we definitely didn’t see wrong…”
Fang rolled his eyes at Ye Cheng and replied irritably.
As the highest official of this place, although he was aware that the object hidden on Little Golden Mountain might be a super-real unknown entity,
he never believed that these so-called high-level cultivators could be that powerful!
In his eyes, highly skilled people like Taoist Hu and Old Mrs.
Wu were, at best, slightly more capable than ordinary people in certain aspects.
But even if they were skilled, they could still be taken down by a single gunshot.
Both Taoist Hu and Old Mrs.
Wu had considerable reputations in their resident area.
He could simply send a couple of soldiers over, and despite their reluctance, both would still have to come here obediently.
One with white hair and one foot in the coffin, the other with most of her aged teeth fallen out…
Could such two people deal with the unknown entity hidden on Little Golden Mountain?
Regarding this, Fang had no expectations whatsoever.
Inviting them here, he considered it a last resort, hoping to use their experience to locate the hiding spot of that entity.
Yet now, the abnormal scene displayed by Chen Hai as he cultivated the Little Five Thunder Skill had truly overturned their understanding.
“Perhaps, he might really be able to find that thing and destroy it here…”
After responding to Ye Cheng, Fang’s gaze once again fell on Chen Hai.
His expression was complicated, and compared to before, his eyes now held a fervent glint.
Of course, Fang was not the only one.
Everyone present, including Taoist Hu and Old Mrs.
Wu, wore hopeful expressions, all eyes fixed on Chen Hai.
Compared to Fang and Ye Cheng, these two knew quite a bit more!
Although the anomalistic scene they had just witnessed was shocking, whether Chen Hai had truly mastered the legendary Thunder Skill, they still had no certainty.
Their eyes on Chen Hai, Taoist Hu and Old Mrs.
Wu were eager to get a definitive answer from him as soon as he awoke.
“The Thunder Map has been successfully depicted, and the Thunderbolt True Intent has already been deeply engraved in my heart.
The Little Five Thunder Skill has finally begun to take shape in my cultivation…”
After sitting cross-legged on the muddy ground for two or three hours, showing no sign of movement, Chen Hai finally slowly opened his eyes.
Stretching his body, he slowly stood up from the ground.
“Senior Chen, were you just cultivating the Thunder Skill?
I wonder, have you mastered it yet?”
The impatient Old Mrs.
Wu respectfully greeted him and was the first to inquire.
“Senior Chen, you…” Compared to Old Mrs.
Wu, Taoist Hu was slightly slower in his reaction.
He had only spoken half of his sentence before he could not continue.
After all, the question he wanted to ask was the same as Old Mrs.
Wu’s.
“You all have shielded me from the wind and rain, preventing me from being exposed to the weather and soaked for hours, I appreciate this kindness!” Chen Hai said with a smile and a nod.
After a brief pause, he continued, “The Dharma Method I just mastered is merely the Little Five Thunder Skill.”
“Among all the Thunder Skills, this should be considered the weakest.”
“This kind of Thunder Skill, its power is very limited, and its role in combat is quite ordinary.”
“Unfortunately, the Great Five Thunder Skill has long been lost; that is the true Thunder Skill.
When cultivated to the extreme, it possesses power so mysterious that even gods and ghosts cannot discern it…”
Upon saying this, Chen Hai’s face showed unwillingness, and he sighed deeply.
The kind of scene where with a casual gesture, one could summon rolling Heavenly Thunder and destroy everything in front of him—he merely thought about it and it made him yearn deeply.
The Little Five Thunder Skill he had just achieved…
Compared with the Great Five Thunder Skill, although there is only a difference of one word, the disparity in power between them is like that between heaven and earth, entirely incomparable.
Recalling this, Chen Hai felt quite depressed in his heart.
“Senior, even the weakest Thunder Skill is still a Thunder Skill, incomparable to ordinary spells.”
“What you just mentioned, the Great Five Thunder Skill, possessing power so mysterious that even gods and ghosts cannot discern, is not just a spell but a true Divine Skill.”
“Ordinary Thunder Skills are already stuff of legends; that kind of Great Five Thunder Skill is the stuff of myths.
How could it possibly exist in this world?”
Hu Laodao and Old Mrs.
Wu, both had a strange look as they exchanged glances.
Something unimaginable even in dreams for ordinary Tao Cultivators, Chen Hai had already achieved, yet he still felt somewhat dissatisfied.
Regarding this, Hu Laodao and Old Mrs.
Wu really didn’t know what they should say at that moment.
Old Mrs.
Wu remained silent, Hu Laodao looked envious, he sighed deeply, feeling emotional.
“Chen Hai, the Little Five Thunder Skill you just successfully cultivated…
Listening to the tone of the two elders, it seems they think your spell is quite powerful!”
“I wonder, could you demonstrate it, so that we common folk can broaden our horizons?”
While Chen Hai talked with Hu Laodao and Old Mrs.
Wu, others like Zhou and Fang, being outsiders, just quietly watched.
After their conversation paused for a moment, Ye Cheng quickly stepped forward, tentatively speaking, and requested Chen Hai.
If it had been anyone else who spoke to him, Chen Hai would not have bothered to respond.
After all, his Little Five Thunder Skill was an orthodox part of Taoism.
This Dharma Method could exorcise evil, treat diseases, and kill foes; it was hardly suitable for performance.
Moreover, he was neither an actor nor a juggler; he had no interest in performing the Taoist Skill he had hardly achieved for others to see.
However, now that the person speaking was his uncle-in-law Ye Cheng, he began to hesitate.
At the same time Ye Cheng spoke, the gazes of the others present also converged on Chen Hai.
People are curious by nature.
The Thunder Light that burst forth from Chen Hai’s body when he achieved the Little Five Thunder Skill had already deeply shocked everyone.
Just like Ye Cheng, everyone present longed to know just how formidable Chen Hai’s Little Five Thunder Skill could actually be?
Only, due to status and not being well-acquainted with Chen Hai, they simply did not take the initiative to raise the question.
“All right, Brother Cheng, since you want to know the formidable power of my Little Five Thunder Skill, I’ll demonstrate it for you to see!”
Frowning and silent for a moment, Chen Hai finally nodded and responded.
The reason he agreed to do this was not only because of Ye Cheng’s face.
The main reason was that he himself also wanted to see what power his newly achieved Little Five Thunder Skill really had!
“That’s great, Chen Hai, I knew you wouldn’t refuse me, you would definitely satisfy my curiosity.”
“After this matter is settled, when we return to Capital City, I will speak well of you in front of Qingqing!”
Ye Cheng said with an excited face and a chuckle.
The others present, although not as overtly as Ye Cheng, were equally excited and full of anticipation.
“Brother Cheng, there’s really no need for you to speak well of me in front of Qingqing.”
“If you really want to thank me, just don’t be a tail and follow me and Qingqing around, and I will be more than grateful!”
Chen Hai responded with a chuckle.
Though Tian Mingjian, sent by Ye Cheng, had already resigned his military position to serve him dutifully, Chen Hai was still somewhat dissatisfied with how things turned out back then.
“You youngster are quite wicked!”
“Tian Mingjian, a person who was cultivated with difficulty as one of the elite in the military, followed you for just a few months and was completely swayed by you.”
“With such a precedent, even if you were to ask for personnel, I wouldn’t dare to send anyone to you!”
Ye Cheng responded with a dry laugh.
Seeing as Chen Hai had already had his engagement banquet with his sister, he was too lazy to meddle in further unsatisfying matters.
“Good to know!” Since it was just teasing his uncle-in-law, seeing him respond like this, Chen Hai didn’t continue to press the issue.
Responding casually to him, Chen Hai glanced around.
When his gaze fell on a large tree about ten meters away that was as thick as the waist of an adult.
He hesitated for a moment, then made his way slowly toward the location of that big tree.
