Chapter 357: A Sudden Change

“Go!” Those arrow guards were badly frightened, and one of them hurriedly screamed out.

Those lightning balls contained unimaginably great lightning power which was evident from the strong sense of power released by them, making those arrow guards shake with fear. The power contained in those lightning balls was beyond the limitation of Senior Magi and those arrow guards had even sensed a slight trace of terrifying power vibrations that had nearly reached the level of Magus Kings.

They ran as fast as they could, otherwise, if a lightning ball like this blasted out near their bodies, even the black feather cloaks worn by them could never save their lives.

The black feather cloaks worn by these Arrow guards were able to raise their moving speed and allow them to be nimbler and more agile. Moreover, when wearing those black feather cloaks, not even the slightest swishing noise would be made while running. However, the defensive power of those black feather cloaks was not great at all; a black feather cloak’s defensive power equaled to at most, thirty-percent of an ordinary metal armor’s defensive power. But when facing lightning balls that had been releasing a strong sense of power, which had nearly reached the Magus-King-level, how could they possibly survive the destructiveness without each wearing twenty layers of full, heavy armors at least?

“Borrow powers from nature!” Ji Hao again gave a long and resonant roar, then abruptly pulled out the two arrows which were stuck in his neck and arm.

Ordinary Senior Magi fought purely with the power stored in their Magus Acupoints, but what Ji Hao had been using to fight was a magic formation taught by Yu Yu. What Daoist Priests were good at the most was manipulating and using the natural power, to launch attacks that were tens, even hundreds of times more powerful than themselves, while consuming only a little bit of their own powers.

The time was limited and the level of Ji Hao’s lightning formation wasn’t high enough, therefore, the lethality of each lightning ball was only ten times greater than one attack launched by Ji Hao with all of his power.

Ji Hao had eight-thousand awakened Magus Acupoints, which meant, the lethality of each lightning ball was ten times greater than a full-power attack launched by Ji Hao, with the power contained in all eight-thousand awakened Magus Acupoints of his. Such a destructive power had already been causing a slight vibration that was same as the terrifying power vibrations caused by Magus Kings when they built connections with their spirit stars.

Those arrow guards started to flee at their highest speed. However, every single lightning ball was like a gangrene that attached right to the bone, swiftly and silently following them. Those arrow guards ran as fast as the wind, easily bringing up huge shreds of afterimages when they swished across the air.

However, these lightning bolts were condensed from the lightning power, and their moving speeds were same as the speed of lightning. Mo matter how fast the wind could move, it could never compete against the lightning.

Ji Hao looked at those Arrow guards running towards every direction with all of their powers while screaming and howling. Within a single second, those arrow guards had made over ten miles far, and nearly reached the maximum range of Ji Hao’s control over those lightning bolts. Ji Hao flicked his finger and at the exactly same moment, those lightning bolts blasted out simultaneously.

Twenty-four purple lightning bolts burst out along with a series of ground-shattering booms and sizzling noise, reaching directly into the sky. At first, these were only thin beams of lightning, yet in the next moment, these thin lightning bolts began expanding speedily. At last, each lightning bolt turned into an immense pillar of lightning that had a diameter of over a hundred zhang, standing straight on the ground.

Numerous lightning bolts sparkled and blasted inside these lightning pillars, crazily tearing every single thing inside them to bits. Twenty-four arrow guards were screaming, growling, struggling and madly cursing in those lightning pillars. They took out all kinds of protective and life-saving talismans. Countless high-grade protective talismans were crumbled in their hands, releasing numerous magic shields, firmly wrapping the bodies of their owners.

“A Rain of Lightning!” Ji Hao again changed his hand motions. The three lightning seals, which had absorbed enough amount of natural power, already expanded to a-zhang in radius. Looming silhouettes of thunder beasts that had been fiercely roaring towards the sky could already be faintly seen in those square-shaped lightning seals.

The twenty-four lightning pillars began shrinking. Soon, those hundred-zhang thick lightning pillars were compressed to around ten-zhang in radius, standing straight on the ground, reaching directly into the dense, dark clouds, which had silently gathered above those Arrow guards.

The immeasurably great amount of natural power swooshing over, turned into incomparably fierce and violent thunderbolts by the three lightning seals. Drawn in by the twenty-four lightning pillars, those enormous thunderbolts quickly split into zhang-thick lightning bolts, ceaselessly striking on those arrow guards’ bodies.
