1267 Activation of the Array, Lightning Sword Congregation!
The order cascaded down the ranks.
All the martial warriors in the Tiger Strike Force were excited. The battle would finally start.
They had waited six days for that moment.
No one was more agitated than them during those six days.
The dark apparitions were right in front of them but they couldn't beat them. It felt as if there were next to a naked beauty but they couldn't move.
There was exasperation, especially after hearing the news of Red Scorpion and Raging Bear's victories. They couldn't sit still anymore.
An elite group like the Tiger Strike Force had their own sense of honor.
It was an honor forged after years of progression under the lead of numerous commanders.
Every member had etched that honor deep into their hearts.
That was why they placed such huge importance on this. They wouldn't allow themselves to lose to other forces.
Finally, Wang Teng released the order for them to attack after six days had passed.
Everyone was excited, so they hurried to make the necessary preparations.
Time passed slowly…
Suddenly, dark clouds started gathering above the skies of the Angoro Grand Canyon.
The clouds moved in a strange manner, only gathering above the canyon. The other areas were clear.
"It's here!"
"It's really here!"
Huo Qiya and the others looked up excitedly.
Wang Teng didn't lie to them. The lightning did arrive in the afternoon.
Wang Teng stood on top of the battlecraft and looked at the dark clouds, too. They felt magical.
It was said that such a periodic amassing of lightning phenomenon started after a heaven stage lightning element martial warrior fought in the area. Back then, the expert released an ultimate attack and forced all the energy to consolidate there.
After the battle, the scene would continue to appear every three months.
What kind of battle technique was able to change nature?
Wang Teng couldn't imagine it; he had yet to see a battle technique of the like.
He only knew that the ultimate technique was extraordinary and unique.
Looks like I can't underestimate any martial warrior!
Wang Teng might have the means to sneak an attack against a heaven stage martial warrior, but that didn't mean he was unbeatable. He would still be in trouble if he met a truly powerful martial warrior.
Wang Teng gave himself a silent warning.
The dark clouds continued to gather for half an hour.
The entire sky was black, as if the clouds were hanging right above their heads, creating a gloomy atmosphere.
Boom!
Suddenly, thunder roared, echoing in the sky.
Thunder came without a warning. Huo Qiya and the others were shocked by it.
Everything was still calm a second prior. The dark clouds were gathering, but there were no signs of lightning. The ominous rumble came out of the blue.
It was a scary sound. The thunder itself seemed to be venting a long repressed anger.
However, everyone looked over and there were still no signs of lightning.
Wang Teng frowned, as the clouds were strange; fortunately, he could feel the Lightning Force gathering within them.
…
On the other side, within the 13th frontline—
Tourbe walked out of his room and looked up at the sky with a frown.
Why did these dark clouds and thunder suddenly appear?
Everyone knew that dark apparitions were afraid of lightning.
He was a high-ranked being, so he wasn't fearful of lightning. Still, it could suppress his ability to a certain extent.
He had an ominous feeling for some reason.
"Come in!"
"Sir," greeted a vampire apparition respectfully as he ran in.
Tourbe looked at the sky and asked, "Is there anything special about this?"
"Sir, this is a special phenomenon that happens once every three months. Lightning will gather above the canyon in front of us. It's not a threat," replied the lesser vampire.
"Looks like it's a natural occurrence, given the three-month period." Tourbe heaved a sigh of relief. "Be careful with our defense. Pay close attention to those humans."
"Yes!"
…
"Commander, when are we going to take action?" Wei Tong asked excitedly.
"Wait!" Wang Teng smiled.
"We're still waiting?" Wang Teng muttered. Still, he didn't dare to disobey.
Huo Qiya and the others smiled. They were no longer restless. Lightning clouds arrived just as their leader predicted, so the battle would start soon; they didn't mind waiting a few more minutes.
Boom!
Thunder resounded in the sky again.
This time, they finally saw the lightning. Silver-white bolts spiraled down the sky like silver pythons.
Boom!
Boom!
Soon, thunder and lightning filled up the entire space before them. Thick bolts of lightning crashed down, striking the Angoro Grand Canyon.
The discharges were furious and wild. There were only a few at first, but then a few hundred bolts of lightning struck at the same time.
Boom, boom, boom…
Huo Qiya and the others gasped as they witnessed the scene.
Frightening!
Extremely terrifying!
Hundreds of lightning bolts rained down at once, sending chills down their spines.
It was a majestic and terrifying scene!
All of them felt that escaping would have been impossible if they were to stand near the dark clouds.
Is this the true power of nature?
The same question popped up in everyone's hearts.
Wang Teng was also shocked.
The lightning power was outrageously strong!
He remembered the rumor. A heaven stage martial warrior executed some special battle technique and created such a unique sight.
Still, it was a good thing. That lightning would have the power to release the Mystic Heaven Lightning Sword Array's true potential and he could happily collect some attribute bubbles.
There would be many lightning element attributes for him to collect this time.
Lightning was reflected in Wang Teng's pupils as he smiled in secret.
The dark clouds in the sky covered at least a few thousand meters in radius, forming a majestic and grand scene when the bolts of lightning crashed down.
Lightning gathered within the Angoro Grand Canyon, accumulating and forming a terrifying lightning land. None of the lightning power could be dispersed.
Wang Teng felt that the time was ripe, so he flew into the sky and shouted, "Everyone, it's time to witness the miracle."
Everyone was excited. They looked at Wang Teng simultaneously.
Then, they witnessed how their leader dashed into the lightning storm.
"Human!"
Tourbe noticed Wang Teng's presence in the thirteenth frontline. He stood up and furrowed his brow.
He didn't know what the human wanted to do, but he definitely wasn't seeking death by charging into the lightning.
"Sir, shall we strike him down?" a vampire approached and asked.
"I'll personally go there," Tourbe said in a cold voice.
Boom!
The instant he finished speaking—he tapped the ground with his feet and leaped into the sky, cracking the ground with the exerted strength.
Wang Teng noticed the dark apparition flying towards him. His gaze turned sharp and he sneered. "You're looking for death."
"Die!" Tourbe bent his fingers; a blood-red glow was condensed around his hand, forming a sharp claw, then tried clawing at Wang Teng.
The latter stopped abruptly, then stared at the sharp claw with a smirk. A calm voice emerged from his throat. "Mystic Heaven Lightning Sword Array, activate!"
Boom!
Light blossomed around him, a gigantic purple array appearing out of nowhere amid the lightning strikes.
Countless lightning bolts turned into sword glows and hovered around Wang Teng. An invisible killing intent was sweeping through the air.
The blood-red claw was destroyed by a lightning sword before it could get any closer to Wang Teng.
"Oh my god!"
Tourbe squinted. He experienced a sense of danger and his expression changed tremendously, and was overcome by bewilderment.
