Chapter 1157 cut in half!
However, their fierce battle also attracted the attention of others on the other side of the battlefield, especially the general who was controlling the purple lightning.
He looked at the Nine Tribulation Divine Lightning on Xie Purou's body, which contained an aura of destruction, and his eyes were filled with greedy light.
He had always coveted Xie Purou's Destruction Divine Lightning, wanting to seize her physical essence and merge it with his own lightning power to make his Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning even stronger.
Seeing that Xie Purou's Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning was so terrifying that it could withstand an attack enhanced by the Dao of Space, he felt both angry and excited.
What angered him was that he knew clearly that he would have a hard time killing Xie Purou on his own, let alone seizing her physical essence.
What excites me is that just thinking about how my aptitude would be greatly improved if I were to actually fuse with the other party's Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning, and even my cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds!
Perhaps there is a slight chance that he will break through to the realm of Chaos Saint Emperor in the future!
At this thought, his blood seemed to be ignited, becoming even hotter, and his breathing became heavy. He felt an endless surge of strength, and the greed in his eyes was almost overflowing.
He didn't say anything, or even greet anyone, and simply raised his hand to strike.
A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bowl, shot out from his palm!
The lightning transformed into a ferocious dragon in the air, its body wreathed in purple lightning, exuding a terrifying aura that could tear through the void, and charged straight toward Xie Purou's back!
His attack also carried a devastating force.
Every crackle of electricity around the purple thunder dragon caused the surrounding air to pop and crackle, even making the rocks on the ground tremble.
In addition, he had cultivated the art of thunder since childhood, and his control over thunder was already superb, making his attack power much higher than that of ordinary generals of the same rank.
At this moment, he unleashed his full power, pushing the explosive force of thunder to its absolute limit!
Moreover, his choice to strike during the lull in Xie Purou's fierce battle with the three-winged generals clearly suggested a sneak attack.
Taking advantage of Xie Purou's attention being drawn to the silver slash in front, they launched a surprise attack from the side and rear, gaining a time advantage.
If it were an ordinary person, encountering such a surprise attack in the heat of battle would surely result in a great loss due to insufficient reaction time. At best, they would be severely injured by the Thunder Dragon, and at worst, they would die on the spot!
But Xie Purou's perception was extremely sharp.
The moment the lightning gathered in the opponent's palm, the red lightning armor on her back trembled slightly, as if sending a warning signal of danger.
Without even looking back, her right hand, enveloped in lightning, suddenly swung back, palm facing the void behind her, and delivered a backhand strike!
"Crash!!!"
Crimson lightning, like surging magma, erupted from her palm, swirling and coiling in the air, instantly transforming into a raging red dragon the size of the purple lightning dragon!
With its head held high, the dragon's crimson eyes blazed with flames of destruction, and the lightning patterns on its scales flowed like living things. It opened its mouth and let out a dragon roar that shook the heavens.
One was a thunderous dragon wreathed in purple lightning, exuding a sinister aura; the other was a thunderous dragon surging with crimson flames, radiating domineering power.
Both of these thunder dragons contain explosive power capable of tearing mountains and rivers apart.
In the very instant they confronted each other in the air, the surrounding air was already distorted and deformed by the two forces of lightning. Once they touched, who knows what kind of terrifying impact would be unleashed!
In the blink of an eye, the two thunderous dragons collided fiercely in mid-air like arrows released from a bow!
“Boom—!”
A deafening roar erupted, as if the heavens and earth were shaken by the force. The distant mountains trembled slightly, and the ground cracked open with several bottomless ravines.
The surrounding laws of heaven and earth were in complete chaos, with golden runes of law flickering in the air, sometimes condensing and sometimes dissipating.
The void itself shattered like broken glass, with black spatial cracks appearing only to be forcibly healed by the surrounding energy. This repeated itself, creating a breathtaking scene.
The red and purple bolts of lightning did not dissipate immediately after the explosion; instead, they intertwined and devoured each other like living things.
The crimson thunder dragon opened its massive jaws and began tearing at the body of the purple thunder dragon.
The purple thunder dragon was not to be outdone, and frantically scratched at the opponent's scales with its dragon claws, both wanting to completely crush the other!
But the outcome was quickly decided.
The red dragon was clearly more ferocious and powerful. The Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning on its body was like boiling magma, and each collision caused the purple lightning to sizzle.
Suddenly, it opened its mouth wide and lunged down, biting the purple lightning dragon's neck. Then, with a powerful rip, it tore the purple lightning into pieces.
The scattered purple lightning flashed a few times in the air before completely dissipating into nothingness!
In this encounter, Xie Purou was clearly the better opponent!
Upon seeing this, the general wielding the purple lightning couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
He had long known that his lightning might not be as powerful as the opponent's Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning, but he never expected the difference between them to be so vast.
If Xie Purou's Crimson Thunder is equivalent to a battle-hardened adult.
So his proud purple lightning was like a helpless child in front of the opponent, with no chance to resist!
"This is going to be difficult!!!"
He let out a wail in his heart, and his face turned extremely ugly.
It should be noted that his thunderous power has always been a trump card that he is proud of among opponents of the same level.
Thanks to the explosive nature of Thunder, he can even challenge stronger opponents of higher levels, always maintaining a certain advantage in combat power.
But this advantage became his biggest disadvantage in front of Xie Purou!
Because both of them control lightning, Xie Purou's Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning far surpasses his purple lightning in terms of purity, power, and destructive characteristics. It's practically a natural counter to his purple lightning!
In this way, his purple lightning was completely useless against his opponent, and he couldn't even exert the slightest advantage!
"You old man, you have no sportsmanship! You tried to ambush me, didn't you? Lightning Five-Strike Whip!!!"
Being attacked from behind, Xie Purou was also a little angry. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly, she clenched her right hand tightly, and crimson lightning rapidly condensed and coiled in her palm, instantly transforming into a lightning whip tens of feet long.
The whip was covered with sharp lightning spikes, each one flashing a destructive red light.
When she held it tightly in her palm, the crackling thunder grew even more violent, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.
Xie Purou's eyes were as cold as knives forged from ice, and the surging immortal power within her body flowed wildly like a river, rushing down her arm and into the lightning whip.
Then she flicked her wrist, and the thunder whip in her hand shot out like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, whistling sharply as it hurtled towards the purple thunder general!
"Whoosh!!!"
The moment she swung the lightning whip, it cleaved through the air, leaving a crimson afterimage.
The lightning spikes at the end of the whip were moving so fast that they even created several tiny spatial cracks in the air.
Compared to the previous attacks, the power and speed of this whip were increased many times over, reaching an extreme speed!
The purple lightning general was so caught off guard that he only saw a flash of red light before a deadly sense of crisis instantly enveloping his entire body.
"That's way too fast?!"
He was terrified, and cold sweat instantly soaked through the armor on his back.
By the time he instinctively tried to dodge, the end of the whip, already imbued with scorching lightning, was already rushing towards him!
He could even clearly feel the terrifying destructive power emanating from the thunder whip.
The destructive aura pressed down on his heart like a tangible weight, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
If he were to be struck hard by this whip, even if he had the cultivation of a late-stage Hunyuan Divine Emperor, he would probably be seriously injured if not killed!
In that critical moment, he reacted instinctively based entirely on his years of combat experience, without having time to think.
"Thunder Net!!!"
He suddenly opened his mouth, and the immortal power within his body surged wildly. A bolt of purple lightning shot out from his mouth, quickly weaving into a huge net of lightning in the air.
This purple lightning net is as fine as a spider web, with each thread composed of condensed purple lightning.
The surface crackled with electricity, radiating a powerful defensive aura; it was clearly one of his trump cards in defense.
The moment it was spat out, the purple lightning net suddenly opened, like a giant shield, firmly blocking his way and trying to completely neutralize the power of the lightning whip!
But at the same moment the lightning net was deployed, the end of the lightning whip, accompanied by howling lightning wind, lashed fiercely at the lightning net!
"Boom—!"
The two explosive bolts of lightning collided violently once more, instantly unleashing a deafening roar.
The surrounding laws of heaven and earth were completely disrupted, and countless golden law runes exploded in the air, turning into streaks of light and dissipating.
The void was torn apart by the two forces, and the black spatial rifts were like ferocious maws, as if they were about to devour everything around them!
The purple lightning general was extremely nervous. His eyes were fixed on the point of impact ahead, his heart was pounding in his chest, and his breathing became rapid.
Although he knew that this lightning net was a defensive measure used in desperation and its power might not be as great as a dedicated defensive magic weapon.
But he still held a sliver of hope, thinking that he could at least weaken the opponent by two-thirds, buying himself time to dodge.
After all, Xie Purou's Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning was exactly the counter to his purple lightning, so he dared not underestimate her in the slightest and had already lowered his stance to the extreme.
However, what happened next plunged him into complete terror.
The long whip, formed from crimson lightning, resembled the sharpest blade in the world.
The moment it touched his purple lightning net, it sliced the net in half as easily as cutting tofu, without any resistance!
The broken purple lightning net flickered a few times in the air before dissipating into scattered bolts of lightning, failing to provide any obstruction whatsoever.
Before the purple lightning general could even react, his face still showing disbelief, the crimson lightning whip afterimage had already broken through the lightning net and reached him!
"Sizzle—!"
The crimson lightning whip, accompanied by the crackling sound of thunder, lashed fiercely at his chest like an angry red dragon!
A terrifying destructive force erupted from the end of the whip, surging into his body like a flood bursting its banks.
The moment his armor came into contact with the Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning, it was burned, melted, and deformed. A deep, bone-revealing wound was torn open on his chest by the lightning whip.
He was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, and his body was cleaved in two by the violent force in mid-air!
Even more terrifying was that the destructive power of the Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning did not dissipate; instead, it invaded his body like a maggot clinging to his bones.
The lightning raged wildly through his body and soul, tearing and destroying his meridians and soul bit by bit, giving him no chance to recover!
"Do not!!!"
Feeling the life force within his body rapidly draining away like a tide, and knowing that his death was imminent, the purple lightning general's eyes were filled with fear and resentment, and he couldn't help but let out a shrill roar.
He even tried to use the last of his immortal power to heal his body, which had been split in two, even if there was only a sliver of hope. He didn't want to die like this.
However, the destructive properties of the Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning were far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Those crimson lightning threads had already completely locked his physical body and soul. No matter how much he tried to activate his immortal power, it was all in vain and only accelerated the loss of his life force.
In just two or three breaths, all the life force in his body was completely destroyed by the Nine Tribulations Divine Lightning. His two charred corpses fell from the sky and hit the ground with a dull thud.
The corpse still had lingering reddish lightning patterns on its surface and emitted a pungent, burnt smell.
Looking at the charred corpse split in two on the ground, Xie Purou's eyes remained unmoved, without even blinking.
For her, with the support of the red lightning armor, killing a powerful late-stage Hunyuan Divine Emperor was not that difficult.
This armor not only amplifies her lightning power, but also enhances her reaction speed and defense, making her even more formidable in battle.
However, Xie Purou felt no satisfaction or joy at killing a general. Before she could even catch her breath, she immediately turned her head quickly to the left.
The dangerous tremor emanating from the armor on her back made her clearly feel the deadly threat coming from behind!
Sure enough, the instant her head shifted, a black spear gleaming with a cold light suddenly pierced through the void, tearing through space with a hissing sound, and slammed into the spot where she had just been standing!
The moment the spear hit the ground, it created a crater several meters deep, the bottom of which was covered with fine cracks. If she had reacted even slightly slower, the spear would probably have pierced her body!
