I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 354: Slaying the Heir! Inviting Battle Above Sixth Rank! (Seeking Monthly Votes and Recommendations)_1
 

The bodyguards brought by the Nangong Family had almost no time to brace themselves when the thunderbolt rolled down, the first dozen men were instantly obliterated in an arc of electricity stretching dozens of meters.

Nangong Yan swiftly dodged.

Even now, he couldn’t understand… What happened to the cannons?

Two massive cannons vanished just like that?

And right under his watchful eye?

When the towering thunderbolt beasts appeared before him, their figures as massive as hills and with the momentum to smash anything to smithereens, they rendered all humans before them into nothingness.

Nangong Yan watched with his heart pounding and muscles tensed.

He only had suspicions…

Were those indistinct figures he saw earlier really these terrifying creatures?

The dust was swirling, and the mottled light reflecting from the massive amount of thunderbolts made it impossible for him to confirm at the moment. However, there was no denying that the beast before him was at least Fifth Rank!

Without the God Gate Cannons, he was no match for it.

“Damn it!” Nangong Yan suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look, only to find that the person from before was nowhere to be found, his eyes narrowing.

He had his suspicions in his heart.

But he could not be certain yet.

Had he underestimated that kid?

“Boom!”

The column of thunder blasted out from the beast’s mouth, filling the area with the scent of destruction.

Nangong Yan’s complexion changed drastically.

Who knows why this big fellow was acting up, his figure rapidly retreated.

But he was still grazed by the lightning, and half of his body instantly numbed.

He tumbled to the ground.

As the thunderbolt creature spat lightning again, Nangong Yan dodged once more.

It seemed the behemoth had found its amusement, constantly shooting bolts of thunder to strike Nangong Yan. With a grim expression, he dodged nimbly.

He tried to attack, but it was a pity he couldn’t get close.

Only when other members of the Nangong Family arrived to suppress with firepower did they barely buy him time to linger.

“Big brother, Little Thirteen is dead!” Only one of the young people who had been following Nangong Yan remained, his face splattered with blood.

“I know, where are the cannons?” Nangong Yan asked coldly.

The young man paused, taking a moment to collect his thoughts.

Looking around, he mumbled to himself in bewilderment:

“Yeah, where are the cannons?”

Nangong Yan frowned and remained silent, looking at the thunderbolt beast not far opposite, “Without the God Gate Cannons, it’s going to be difficult to take down this beast…”

“Difficult? It’s much more than difficult…” Of course, these words were only reiterated in the young man’s mind.

He quickly asked, “So what do we do now?”

“First, we retreat, contact our family, and then dispatch two more God Gate Cannons!” Nangong Yan glanced at the black mark on his left arm left by the lightning strike, his voice stern.

“Dispatch two more God Gate Cannons?” The young man clicked his tongue and hesitated, “Big brother, we already lost two… if we lose more, we might not be able to get out of this unscathed.”

“Just do as I say!” Nangong Yan watched as the thunderbolt beast steadily approached, a look of strange excitement flashing in his eyes, “If my Nangong Family could subdue this beast, who in Nagano could possibly be stronger than us?”

“But… Big brother, this creature has lightning attributes, even with the God Gate Cannons, we might not be sure to contain it.” The young man hurriedly tried to persuade.

Little Thirteen had died right before his eyes, silently, without even a moment to struggle, and it was this that sent chills down his spine.

However, Nangong Yan had made up his mind. He urged, “Hurry up, the commotion here has become too great. If we delay any further… others might start coveting this place.”

Seeing that, Nangong Surong stopped trying to dissuade him. But at that moment, there was no signal at all. He turned to look at the enormous beast a hundred meters away and decided to make a break for it, dashing out of the woods.

He didn’t know how long he had run, but the noise behind him had completely dissipated.

Nangong Surong let out an inexplicable sigh of relief, picked up the communicator, saw the signal bars appear, and just as he took out his mobile phone, suddenly a breeze brushed past.

He instinctively looked up, only to see utter darkness in front of him.

A large hand had covered his face.

In the night, a bead emitting a bewitching blood glow flashed by and disappeared.

…

“Did you notify them?” Nangong Yan was slightly surprised to see Nangong Surong appear so quickly.

However, he didn’t pay much attention to Nangong Surong because the Thunderbolt Bane nearby was too ferocious, and the men he had brought were now reduced to one-tenth of what they had been.

If things continued at this pace, he feared he’d have to flee soon as well.

But he waited for a while and still got no response from Nangong Surong.

He turned his head to look.

“Snap!”

Nangong Surong’s body suddenly plunged to the ground, trembled once, and exploded into a mist of blood on the spot.

Nangong Yan was stunned.

“It’s a pity, the Puppetry Technique can only ensure the puppet’s lifespan once it reaches Great Success.”

A light sigh suddenly rang in Nangong Yan’s ear. Although the tone was calm, at this moment it sounded to Nangong Yan like a divine thunder bursting open.

He reacted instantly, his body retreating explosively.

But—

“Pfft!”

The sword tip pierced effortlessly through his heart.

“Get lost!”

Nangong Yan roared in anger.

He struck back with his elbow.

Finally, his vision cleared enough to see the person who had ambushed him.

“It’s you!!!”

Nangong Yan’s face went through a complete change.

The one assassinating him turned out to be the very same kid he had captured…

“Bang!”

Pei Jinye casually raised his hand, easily catching Nangong Yan’s elbow.

“I’ve always been puzzled, whether you high and mighty young masters actually believe you have nine lives for me to take. Gongsun Qianfeng was like this, and you’re the same. Who coddled this bad habit in you!”

Nangong Yan’s eyes widened in shock.

“Gongsun Qianfeng… was also your doing?”

“Bang!”

The words Nangong Yan had yet to speak were cut off as his face was smashed by a punch, his head slammed into the ground, with half his body burying into the earth.

Immediately after, Pei Jinye single-handedly yanked him out from the ground.

The sound of cleaving air followed.

Pei Jinye grabbed Nangong Yan’s body and vanished from the spot.

Almost instantly, the spot where the two had been standing was destroyed by a column of lightning.

Ice Wings spread wide.

Pei Jinye hovered ten meters in the air, holding the blood-vomiting Nangong Yan in his hand, his gaze calmly fixed on the Thunderbolt Bane opposite him.

“Iron buddy, it’s not very polite to sneak up on others.”

“`

The Thunderbolt Bane had now recognized Pei Jinye, the familiar scent igniting its will to fight, and it let out a thunderous roar.

“Battle!”

Pei Jinye stretched out his index finger and gave a slight wave.

“I don’t have time today.”

The Thunderbolt Bane paid no heed to Pei Jinye’s refusal, its body instantly erupting with lightning, expanding dozens of meters high.

The air around it vibrated intensely, causing a violent tearing sound.

Pei Jinye’s hair was lifted, and his windbreaker rustled loudly.

This behemoth was very strong.

So strong that Gongsun Long’s memory of being an Extraordinary Fifth Rank was not worth mentioning in comparison.

However, Pei Jinye’s gaze remained calm.

He pointed his finger down.

Thunderbolt surged, blocking the splashing arcs of lightning from reaching him.

His voice was calm, “No battle.”

“Battle!” the Thunderbolt Bane roared, wanting to charge forward.

But inexplicably—

It was as if an invisible will had emerged in the world, like the Sword Emperor, the Sword Master!

The eager battle expression on the Thunderbolt Bane’s face froze instantly.

Pei Jinye held the Sword Intent given to him by the Female Sword Immortal, “No battle.”

“…”

The Thunderbolt Bane bared its fangs and said, “Battle.”

But its voice was weaker than before.

Pei Jinye held the Sword Intent, “Let’s battle another day.”

He looked down at Nangong Yan, who was struggling, and condensed his Frost Intent, directly sealing this unsettled fellow.

Nangong Yan’s heart was in turmoil.

He couldn’t fathom how Pei Jinye, who was but an ant in his eyes, had suddenly become so strong… so strong that he felt suffocated.

Especially the strange and unpredictable moves he displayed, impossible to guard against.

Not to mention—

That he was now seemingly able to “converse happily” with that merciless Thunderbolt Bane.

This… how is this possible!!!

“When will you come!” After a moment of silence, the Thunderbolt Bane spoke in its own beast language.

“It depends on my schedule,” Pei Jinye said, holding the Sword Intent, unafraid, but as he sized up the huge creature, he felt an inexplicable urge.

“I have a Heaven and Earth Treasure, today I see you are fated…”

Before he could finish,

The Thunderbolt Bane had already lost interest and turned to leave.

Pei Jinye: “…”

“Leizi.”

“?” The Thunderbolt Bane didn’t know why it had turned around. Its lantern-like eerie eyes stared at Pei Jinye, “Battle?”

“Make friends,” Pei Jinye shamelessly proposed.

“Battle.”

“… Do you have any friends?”

“Battle.”

“…” Pei Jinye waved his hand dismissively, “Off you go.”

The lightning on the Thunderbolt Bane’s body rolled incessantly, “Battle.”

“You won’t make friends this way. I have a friend called Big Head, I’ll introduce you someday, you don’t understand the ways of beasts, you’ll be weeded out soon.”

“…” The Thunderbolt Bane was somewhat annoyed as it stared at Pei Jinye.

It couldn’t understand… really couldn’t understand. Humans are so troublesome.

“Battle or not!”

“No battle.”

Seeing him impervious to reason, Pei Jinye immediately left without looking back, grabbing Nangong Yan with one hand and holding the Sword Intent in the other.

The aura around the Thunderbolt Bane kept churning.

Its gaze was locked onto Pei Jinye’s back.

“Roar!”

Soon after, it let out a heaven-shaking roar.

The nearby ferocious birds and beasts became so terrified they went limp and scattered in a frenzy, fearing they would be devoured by this terrifying ruler.

…

“Who… who exactly are you?” Nangong Yan’s face was pale, devoid of any blood. He seemed to forget his pain, his eyes staring fixedly at Pei Jinye.

He couldn’t comprehend… nor accept what he had just witnessed…

Was this guy in front of him really just chatting with that terrifying creature?

Pei Jinye ignored him, instead focusing on the darkness nearby. His sword light burst forth in an instant, followed by a series of muffled groans.

“If you have the guts, come kill me, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance,” Pei Jinye said coldly.

In the night, a large number of figures retreated.

The woods became peaceful.

Even after Pei Jinye’s declaration, still, no one dared to show themselves.

After a moment,

Pei Jinye snorted coldly, his figure flickered, and in midair, dozens of sword lights ruthlessly enveloped the area.

“I gave you a chance, but it’s a pity you’re useless,” he said.

The sound of flesh and blood scattering flew through the night air.

This time,

The woods finally became completely quiet.

Pei Jinye’s figure leapt and landed steadily. He turned to look at Nangong Yan, who was struggling to get up; the latter felt as if his heart had skipped a beat when he was looked at.

“I…”

Nangong Yan didn’t get to finish his sentence.

Pei Jinye’s hand had already pressed down.

In an instant, countless shadows invaded and devoured Nangong Yan’s consciousness.

Memories surged forth!

…

“My Nangong Clan has adhered to the ancestral teachings, guarding the God Map for a thousand years…”

“It is said there are 1008 pieces of the God Map, scattered in various places across the world… when the God Map is pieced together, there will be great fortune.”

…

“The Wuyi Clan holds the God Map, find a way to locate them… exterminate the clan and seize the divine map!”
