Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

Chapter 140 Big Bad Guy, Hand Over the Map and Spare Your Life

Whoosh!

The massive Divine Rune Giant Sword, carrying endless rage and boundless Sword Intent, ripped through the sky. Along its path, every Thunder Beast that stood in its way was pierced through by the Divine Rune Giant Sword.

In an instant, the Divine Rune Giant Sword drilled into the gaping maw of the five-colored Kui ox, and a moment later it burst through its belly, emerging again before soaring into the sky where it hovered aloft, transforming back into human form.

"What a large one."

In Chu Xin's snow-white hand hovered a colorful Crystal Stone, which was the Crystal Core of the five-colored Kui ox, still flashing with Five-colored Lightning.

The Demon Beast's Crystal Core was the source of the Demon Beast's strength. With the Crystal Core of the five-colored Kui ox taken by Chu Xin, it lost almost all of its power.

The colossal Divine Body crashed from the sky, striking Five Thunder Mountain with such force that the entire mountain trembled violently.

Moo!

The five-colored Kui ox let out a pitiful bellow, its body emitting a series of dull thuds, which continued for a while before stopping. By then, the five-colored Kui ox no longer had any life left in it.

"Dead?" The Heavenly Prides were astonished.

"Although the Crystal Core is the source of power for a Demon Beast, losing it does not lead to death. Could it be that it died from the fall after losing its strength?" speculated some Heavenly Prides.

"As a Seventh Rank Thunder Beast, the five-colored Kui ox had been tempered by lightning for years, making its flesh far stronger than that of ordinary Demon Beasts of the same rank. How could it possibly die from such a fall?" Others immediately refuted this, yet their tone also carried a hint of doubt.

"I understand now, the five-colored Kui ox originally intended to augment its power by devouring other Thunder Beasts. But to transform the devoured Thunder Beasts' power into its own, it needed the Crystal Core. Now that the Crystal Core has been taken by that brat, the Thunder Beasts inside its body could not be transformed, erupting inside it. The five-colored Kui ox's flesh might be strong, but its internal organs are not as resilient. The lightning from those Thunder Beasts shattered them. Its body is too strong, so outwardly it doesn't look any different."

"So that's what happened."

With that explanation from the Heavenly Pride, it suddenly dawned on all the others.

"Waste!"

Lei Wanjun's eyebrows were tightly furrowed as he muttered disdainfully to himself.

He had intended to wait for that brat and the five-colored Kui ox to both suffer significant losses in their fight, allowing him to reap the benefits as the third party.

Even if they were not both gravely injured, he wanted to exhaust as much of that brat's True Qi and energy as possible.

He never imagined that the five-colored Kui ox would die in such a suffocating manner.

He was very clear, if that brat still had fighting strength, he would have no chance of victory, and thoughts of retreat arose in his mind.

Roar!

Just then, the surviving Thunder Beasts roared together to the heavens, causing the Five-colored Lightning above to shake violently.

The next moment, the Thunder Beasts, as if mad, charged at Chu Xin without regard for their own lives.

"There's still a chance."

Seeing this, Lei Wanjun's eyes lit up, and he put aside the thought of retreating for the moment.

He turned to look at the other Heavenly Prides, a trace of slyness flickering in his eyes as he spoke out loud, "Gentlemen, that brat has been fighting for so long, his True Qi and energy must have been greatly depleted. Using the Secret Technique I've shared with you to set up the Array, I'll only take two Five Thunder Fruits. You can fight over the remaining three using your own methods, how about it?"

Three Five Thunder Fruits?

Greed flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Prides.

That meant if they were strong enough, they had a chance to obtain three Five Thunder Fruits—a benefit worth taking a risk for.

"Fine!"

Except for a few clear-headed Heavenly Prides, the rest stepped forward, ready to arrange the Array.

Yet Lei Wanjun turned to look at the few who did not step forward, his tone dark as he said, "Since you have no interest in competing for the Five Thunder Fruits, I ask you to leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Why? We just want to watch; we will not vie for the Five Thunder Fruit." A Heavenly Pride said discontentedly.

Lei Wanjun snorted coldly and said, "Who knows if you'll take advantage of us setting the Array to execute that brat and then launch a sneak attack?"

Once these words were spoken, those Heavenly Prides preparing the Array immediately realized the implication, turning their heads to look at those few individuals, their eyes revealing a cold murderous intent.

"You!"

Those few were furious, but seeing the murderous aura emanating from the Heavenly Prides, they understood that no guarantee would suffice, and they could only leave helplessly.

"We'll leave too, you continue."

Upon seeing Lei Wanjun and the others all looking sternly at him, Long Shaoyu chuckled dryly before turning to leave.

The youth with the square face and the youth with the bow hurriedly followed suit.

"Young Master, are we just leaving like this? What about those two brats?"

The square-faced youth asked in confusion.

"We can't do anything about it; if we don't leave, Lei Wanjun will surely lead the Heavenly Prides to surround and kill us first," the youth with the bow said coldly. "As for those two brats, they can only hope for their own fortune."

Long Shaoyu smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, those two brats won't die so easily. They have many secrets on them. Even if Lei Wanjun sets up the Ancient Magic Array, it might not necessarily hurt them. Instead, it's those who stayed to set the Array with Lei Wanjun that are likely facing life-and-death odds."

Being one of the top ten young Martial Saints of Jiuzhou, he naturally understood Lei Wanjun a bit more than others.

This guy is really crafty; that so-called Ancient Magic Array is certainly not as simple as he says.

"Set the Array!"

Once the onlookers had left, Lei Wanjun bellowed, and together with the other Heavenly Prides, began setting the Array. Mysterious patterns spread around Five Thunder Mountain in an eerie and interlocking trail.

Hum!

The moment the Ancient Magic Array was formed, a sly smile of success flickered across Lei Wanjun's face—but it was transient, and no one noticed anything amiss.

He turned to look at Chu Xin, who was slaying the Thunder Beasts, and shouted, "Brat, hand over the Five Thunder Fruit, and we can spare your life."

Chu Xin waved her pale hand, and the Divine Rune Giant Sword swept out, causing swathes of Thunder Beasts to fall.

She looked up at Lei Wanjun, who was floating high outside Five Thunder Mountain, and mimicking Lei Wanjun's tone, said in a childish voice, "Big baddie, hand over the map, and I can spare your life."

"Hmph! I want to see how long you can be so arrogant."

Lei Wanjun snorted coldly, his fingers swiftly forming a spell, and the Array Patterns of the Ancient Magic Array lit up instantly.

In an instant, all the Heavenly Prides setting the Array felt a terrifying suction force emanating from within the Array, with their True Qi and even spiritual power crazily flowing into it. No matter how much they struggled, they could not stop it.

"This is bad, there's something wrong with this Array."

A Heavenly Pride yelled in terror.

"Lei Wanjun, what is the meaning of this?"

Another Heavenly Pride shouted in anger.

"The brat is vicious, I'm merely borrowing everyone's power for a moment," Lei Wanjun laughed loudly as he retreated explosively, instantly moving outside of the Array.

At the same time, the Array Patterns of the Ancient Magic Array flickered, and strands of black threads rose from the patterns, plunging into the bodies of the Heavenly Prides, voraciously devouring their Cultivation and spiritual power.

"Damn it."

The Heavenly Prides were both shocked and furious, struggling with all their might, but it was too late.
