Chapter 38: The Will of the Army Breaker

"My volley of arrows is now a lightning rod. It shall scatter his heavenly tribulation and aid him in his transcendence," Yan Chuan said with confidence.

More than two thousand arrows soared into the sky. They were not aimed at any person, leaving many onlookers bewildered and casting curious glances. Even True Monarch Black Feather paid no mind to the rain of arrows.

"Bang!"

The arrows pierced through the clouds and mist, ascending straight into the firmament. They drew closer and closer to the Four-Nine Tribulation Clouds. Suddenly, the tips of the arrows trembled, as if reacting to a massive magnetic field.

"Crackle!"

Eerie sparks of electricity appeared on the tips of every single one of the two thousand arrows. It was the Four-Nine Tribulation Clouds that had induced this electromagnetic phenomenon.

"No!" True Monarch Black Feather’s expression shifted violently. He reached out to stop it, but it was already too late.

"Boom!"

A massive amount of lightning was suddenly drawn down from the Four-Nine Tribulation Clouds by the arrows. The lightning bolts were thin, yet they split into over two thousand individual strands.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

As the lightning struck the arrows, they exploded into pieces. While this diversion of the heavenly tribulation was merely a drop in the ocean, even that tiny fraction was enough to plunge True Monarch Black Feather into despair.

Though the lightning was barely diverted, the astral will connected to the tribulation clouds was instantly split into two thousand equal parts. The starlight enveloping True Monarch Black Feather was suddenly reduced to one-two-thousandth of its original intensity. In an instant, his overwhelming advantage vanished.

"No!" True Monarch Black Feather roared in grief and indignation.

"Bang!"

All two thousand arrows exploded. While they had little impact on the tribulation itself, the diversion caused the starlight to shrink to a fraction of its former self, and as the arrows burst, the starlight retreated entirely. The vast Four-Nine Tribulation Clouds, now channeling stellar power, were less than one percent as potent as those surrounding Huo Guang. The thin, wispy pillar of starlight laid bare the defeat of True Monarch Black Feather.

"Rumble!"

The heavenly tribulation continued, leaving True Monarch Black Feather in a state of profound agony.

"Snap!"

In the midst of his despair, the thunder blast shattered his hat, revealing his grim and sullen face. As he blocked the second wave of thunder, he glared in the direction of Yan Chuan.

"A pack of mortal dogs? I will kill you! I will kill you all! Ah!" he shrieked.

"Old scoundrel Black Feather!" a thunderous shout erupted from afar.

Yan Chuan looked over to see Jiu Jiansheng rushing toward him, his face contorted with rage.

"Hmm?" Mo Yuxi frowned.

"Junior Brother Yan Chuan, that is him! True Monarch Black Feather! He was one of those who forced your parents to their deaths!" Jiu Jiansheng arrived in a flash.

"What?" Liu Jin cried out, staring fixedly at the sky.

Jiu Jiansheng planted his sword before Yan Chuan. "Junior Brother Yan Chuan, let me stay by your side, just in case," he said sincerely. Seeing True Monarch Black Feather, he had come to protect Yan Chuan.

Yan Chuan nodded slightly, then looked back at True Monarch Black Feather in the sky, a flicker of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Young Master Yan, should we...?" the Azure Dragon asked.

"No. I will take this revenge with my own hands. Besides, I have yet to get to the bottom of all that is happening here," Yan Chuan replied, shaking his head.

"Boom!"

The Four-Nine heavenly thunder grew stronger with each wave. True Monarch Black Feather no longer had the heart to vent his fury on the three thousand silver-clad soldiers, focusing instead on resisting the thunder with all his might.

Yan Chuan took one last deep look at True Monarch Black Feather before turning his gaze toward Huo Guang. While the thunder above True Monarch Black Feather raged violently, the lightning striking Huo Guang and Liu Gang continued its steady, systematic rhythm.
