Chapter 418: Which Fellow Daoist Is Breaking Through Here?!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The sudden roar caused all the elite soldiers posted outside the manor to grow nervous. The group of soldiers moved nearer the manor and gathered closer together, expelling everyone that had nothing to do with the area away.
"What's going on!?"
Jiang Tao felt a cold sweat run down the back of his neck. Anything that had to do with the manor was not a light matter.
"C-Captain...!" Zheng Li stuttered as she pointed dumbly at the huge beast in the manor.
"What is that?! Immediately interfere with all signals in the nearby areas and request support!"
Jiang Tao's face paled as he sent out the order without hesitation.
Bei Feng's figure abruptly appeared in the outer court. The moment he saw the Cerberus, he could feel that the latter was about to break through.
"This is a Super Demonic Beast that's about to break through to the Controlled Dan realm!"
"That's not the only thing, you guys could only see the Super Demonic Beast that's on the verge of breaking through. But look again at the two people beside it!"
A group of Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts also appeared in the yard. The sight before them caused them to feel a great deal of shock.
Hearing the words of the person behind them, every one turned their eyes and looked at Mystic One and Bai Xiang. That sight gave them an even greater shock!
"How can this be? That girl actually has a Controlled Dan cultivation as well! As for the other guy, although he's not at the Controlled Dan realm, he could actually make me feel a trace of threat!"
The group of Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts was completely speechless. Bei Feng's group alone actually had four Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts! This was an absolutely terrifying discovery!
A weird look flashed through everyone's eyes as they looked at the huge frame of the Super Demonic Beast. In this generation, it was already exceedingly difficult for humans to cultivate, let alone Demonic Beasts. But right now, a Demonic Beast was on the verge of breaking through to the Controlled Dan realm!
To a martial cultivator, a Demonic Beast like this was a walking treasure trove. Every part of the body of such a beast, including its flesh, blood, and inner Dan, was hugely beneficial to cultivators!
But looking at Bei Feng's group of three defending beside it, the greed in everyone's hearts disappeared.
If the Cerberus was disturbed, the combined might of three Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts going out of control with anger was not something that any country dared to provoke.
"Hou!"
Every muscle on the Cerberus's body bulged up, and it looked like numerous huge earthworms were squirming under his skin!
A patch of black clouds had appeared above the Cerberus out of nowhere, covering one li of the sky!
"Boom!"
A stifling pressure descended on the area, and Bei Feng had disappeared unknowingly. Peals of dull thunder rumbled through the sky.
Numerous streaks of lightning as thick as an adult's thigh swam through the clouds. The air became as heavy as water, causing one to feel a great restriction in their movements!
The Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts who had lived through the last few hundred years had great knowledge of many things. When they saw the tribulation clouds in the sky, an old Controlled Dan
Heavenly Expert could not help but to cry out in shock, "How can this be? It's true that cultivation for a Demonic Beast is an act that goes against the heavens, and that they would attract Heavenly Lightning tribulation when they reached a high cultivation. But that is something that will only happen when they break through to the Transcendent realm! Could it be that this beast is breaking through to the Transcendent realm?!"
The leader of the 12 Kunlun Devils fell silent for a moment and said, "No, there's another type of circumstance that will attract a lightning tribulation! That is if the Demonic Beast has a rare bloodline, shocking talent, and taken a great number of lives! Just any one out of the three conditions will already draw the lightning tribulation!"
"Boom!"
The Cerberus's aura seemed to have broken past a certain critical point. All the bones and tendons on its body hummed and trembled, its blood and Qi energy burst out, and a demonic Qi filled the sky!
Not far from the manor was the bustling business district and towering buildings. Plenty of people heard the beast's roar, but there wasn't a single trace of panic.
People who lived in this modern age of science and technology naturally did not believe in things like ghosts and demons. The only thing that everyone found strange were the dark clouds in that part of the city. Furthermore, the dark clouds were very low. No matter how they looked, it seemed somewhat strange.
Outside the entrance of a hospital, a sage-like old man with long white beard and hair tied behind his back, and dressed in cloth robes looked over at the dark clouds and suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Which Fellow Daoist is breaking through! Kindly show yourself!"
This old man looked extremely advanced in years, but his voice was not soft. It was like a rumbling thunder, blasting out in all directions.
"F*ck me, it's a sage!"
"No way, this old man surely has some skills!"
"Hei, don't tell me there's really someone breaking through here?"
There were many people coming and going at the entrance of the hospital. Many people were shocked by the old man's lion-like voice. Some people looked at this strange old man and steered clear from him, while some people gazed in the direction that the old man looking at. As they turned around, a dazzling thunderbolt fell from the dark clouds in the distance, causing those who saw it to immediately think back to the old man's words.
"Old fogey Li! What did you run out here for! The surgery is going to begin soon. We've been looking for you for so long, but it turns out that you're here. You, hurry up and bring him back. Still thinking about cultivation at your age!"
A 25, 26 year old young man dressed in white robes ran over and gestured to the two nurses beside him.
"Let me go! I'm not sick! You all want to harm me! I'm a Golden Dan cultivator, you hear me? You can forget about crippling my Golden Dan!"
Old man Li immediately began to struggle. But in the end, he was still pulled inside by the two nurses.
"Old grandpa, you've only reached the Golden Dan stage at your age, what's the point of still cultivating!"
"That's right, a young girl came in this morning; she's only 28 years old, and she already has a Yuanying cultivation. Wasn't she still crippled in the end?"
"Hehe, which one of those in the hospital's mortuary are not heaven's chosen geniuses? Everyone has at least reached the Incarnation realm!"
The two young nurses laughed and complemented each other's words as they led the confused old man Li away.
"Doctor, what's that old man's problem?" a curious passerby asked.
"Old fogey Li? He has severe mental illnesses and kidney failure. That poor fellow probably has less than two years left only."
The young doctor shook his head and left.
"Pu! Hahaha!"
The group of bystanders laughed loudly and also turned to leave. They finally understood what the old man's words had meant.
Most of the people laughed it off, but there were a few people who could not contain their curiosity and wanted to find out the truth of the strange lightning for themselves. But, without fail, every single person found their way barred by the soldiers that Jiang Tao's group had posted.
"Boom!"
At this time, in the outer court, a huge area had been cleared out with the Cerberus as the center. Everyone had moved to stand far out to the side—except for Bei Feng's group of three who remained guarding beside it. The lightning in the storm cloud that had been brewing for a long time finally streaked down!
"Pu!"
"Ke, ke!"
Just the thunder caused all the Dark Jing cultivators to retreat many steps and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Chi-chi!"
Countless tiny electrical arcs surrounded the area, rushing wildly without care.
"Ao!"
The Cerberus did not resist, and directly took on the thick streak of lightning. Its fur was as hard as steel, but when the lightning ran through it, a large patch of fur was instantly blasted into powder. The lightning shot straight into the Cerberus's body and disappeared!
Electricity danced around the Cerberus's body, only dissipating after a long time.
As for Jiang Tao and the rest who had just walked into the manor, such a scene was extremely shocking to the core!
There were even people rubbing their eyes furiously, wondering if they were hallucinating.
