Chapter 166: What Kinds of Teammates Are These?
Boom!
Just as Wu Qitian had anticipated, the giant beast's massive body began to tremble violently immediately after being struck by the lightning.
Clearly, this colossal creature was also terrified of such high-voltage electrical strikes.
Having succeeded with his first blow, Wu Qitian felt a surge of secret satisfaction. He unleashed his power once more, hurling a bolt of lightning even more ferocious than the last, heading straight for its head.
Crack, crack, crack!
After a succession of lightning bolts struck it down, the monster was left convulsing violently all over, looking as though it was at its last gasp.
Watching the giant beast being roasted to a crisp, Wu Qitian wore a victorious smile on his face and quickly shouted back to the others:
"You folks in the back, enjoying the show? Your big brother is going to treat you to some freshly roasted beast meat."
He was genuinely overjoyed right now. After all, he had just triumphed over such a massive primordial fierce beast; it went without saying just how shocked those people must be at this moment.
Fortunately, he had finally used his strength to win back a bit of dignity. Let's see if you dare to defy me now!
Let all voices of opposition fall utterly silent before my absolute power!
Meanwhile, Meng Tao and Jiang Kun, who were watching from the rear, were indeed deeply shocked by Wu Qitian's heroic performance.
Meng Tao couldn't help but praise aloud:
"Although I don't care much for his personality, I have to admit that his strength is truly beyond reproach. To be able to easily knock down an ancient fierce beast like this is simply godlike. I yield."
Jiang Kun was equally stunned by this breathtaking scene, and he too couldn't resist exclaiming:
"His methods are truly extraordinary. Arrogant as he may be, he certainly has the capital to be arrogant. I yield to this strength as well."
Then, with a hearty laugh, he patted Chen Yufeng and Su Xiaoli on the shoulders:
"Let's go, we're going to have some roast meat. It's free food, why not eat? Hehe!"
"Come back! Do you want to turn into roast meat?"
Su Xiaoli hurriedly called him back. Jiang Kun was momentarily dazed, then beamed cheerfully and said:
"You might be afraid of getting fat, but I'm not! You can't get this kind of beast meat outside. It's a rare opportunity, so I definitely have to go taste it."
Clearly, he still hadn't grasped what Su Xiaoli meant.
Seeing that Jiang Kun was heading over to court death, Chen Yufeng quickly intercepted him:
"What's the rush? Watch a bit longer, the more exciting and thrilling part is yet to come."
"Huh? What else could be exciting? Isn't it just time to eat roast meat and skewers next?"
Jiang Kun was baffled. But when he looked toward the Thunder Tyrant Dragon once again, he noticed something was wrong—the fierce beast seemed to be preparing a counterattack.
"Not good."
Spotting the anomaly, he anxiously yelled at the top of his lungs to warn Wu Qitian:
"Hero Wu, stop showing off like a fool! Turn your head around, quick!"
"What the hell are you babbling about?"
Wu Qitian was flashing a smug and triumphant grin toward them. Hearing Jiang Kun shout like that, he instinctively turned his head to look.
Sure enough, things were bad!
The scene he had expected—seeing the giant beast collapsing magnificently before him—failed to materialize.
Instead, Wu Qitian was greeted by a massive bolt of lightning as thick as a rice bowl slashing horizontally through the air.
This lightning bolt had burst directly from the sharp horn atop the Thunder Tyrant Dragon's head.
"How can this be? An old monster, truly an old monster."
Wu Qitian's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected this monster to still possess the strength to counterattack.
He had no time to overthink and hastily tried to dodge sideways. However, no matter how fast his speed, it was too late now.
Although he managed to tilt his head aside, that bolt of lightning still struck Wu Qitian's left shoulder, sending a gigantic surge of electrical current coursing through his entire body.
This Thunder Tyrant Dragon also possessed a high level of intelligence. Its body trembling earlier had actually been an act of absorbing the lightning bolts Wu Qitian hurled at it, transforming them into its own power while waiting to deliver a fatal blow by catching him off guard.
The lightning bolt it had just discharged carried at least thirty thousand volts; had it struck an ordinary supernatural being, it would likely have been shattered to pieces on the spot.
One had to admit that Wu Qitian was truly outrageously formidable. Unexpectedly, after being struck, his body merely shuddered, and he remained completely unharmed.
This scene made Meng Tao and Jiang Kun's hearts leap into their throats once again, their eyes practically popping out in astonishment.
Regaining his wits, Meng Tao exclaimed once more:
"My god, this, this is simply too defying of the heavens! I thought comrade Wu Qitian was about to meet a heroic end, and I even shed tears of sympathy. To think that even lightning this powerful couldn't kill him—this guy is a beast, you just have to hand it to him."
"It seems there's really good reason why he gets to be the team leader. I've completely gone from being a hater to a fan."
Jiang Kun was struck dumbfounded all over again.
At the very least, he lacked the confidence to face this colossal creature himself, let alone defeat it.
Yet, in stark contrast to their excitement and awe, Chen Yufeng and Su Xiaoli merely shook their heads, as if they had already foreseen the outcome of this battle.
At this moment, Wu Qitian wore a stern and cold expression, holding his head high with his chest puffed out. A soaring fighting spirit erupted from his eyes, and his aura surged like a rainbow, spanning across the firmament.
He looked like an undefeatable God of War.
Facing this colossal creature without a shred of fear, he actually grew bolder with every fight.
He could only win and not lose. If he were defeated by this monster, he would surely become the laughingstock of those petty onlookers in the back.
Conversely, it would force them to admire him completely, making them revere him as their supreme leader from this day forward without daring to raise a single objection.
Roar!
Provoked by burning fury, the Thunder Tyrant Dragon launched a fight-to-the-death assault. Its claws were like blades, and every time its strikes missed and scraped the ground, they carved deep trenches into the earth.
If those claws landed on a person, the outcome could well be imagined—it would likely be enough to tear a human being apart.
Yet, the speed at which this tiny ant dodged was simply too fast, rendering its attacks completely ineffective.
Being an ancient monster of extremely high intelligence, while slashing and attacking, it pinpointed the exact direction the prey would dodge and lashed out with bolts of giant lightning, weaving a powerful web of firepower.
Though Wu Qitian's body had not collapsed despite repeated lightning attacks, he had indeed suffered some internal impact, causing his dodging speed to gradually slow down.
A slowdown in dodging speed at such a critical juncture carried fatal consequences; the slightest carelessness could cost him his life.
"Hero Wu, keep it up! We're rooting for you. All the brothers are waiting for skewers, don't let us down!"
At this moment, Chen Yufeng's voice rang out once again, exceptionally loud and clear, echoing through the night sky.
In Wu Qitian's eyes, this was the behavior of a shameless and cunning villain gloating over his misfortune.
He gritted his teeth and swore an oath.
If he could escape this calamity today, he would definitely cripple this scoundrel.
For now, however, he had no choice but to fight a life-and-death battle with this fierce beast.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Although Wu Qitian's movement speed had been somewhat impaired, it was still astonishingly fast. He darted rapidly, narrowing dodging the blinding lightning bolts shot out by the Thunder Tyrant Dragon by a hair's breadth.
At the same time, he leaped into the air.
With unbelievable explosive spring-loaded power, he vaulted over a dozen meters high into the sky, then plummeted down to land squarely on the giant beast's head. He quickly grabbed the sharp horns on top of the Thunder Tyrant Dragon's head to steady his body.
Then, he began raining a flurry of wild blows and smashes onto its head.
Straight after, he unleashed a succession of lightning strikes, attempting to blast a hole through the monster's head and pull out its tendons.
This scene looked precisely like Nezha doing battle with the Third Prince of the Dragon King.
