I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 241 - 11: Candidate for Witch King (2/3)

"Using my Thunder Skill against me is simply like showing off in front of an expert!"

Seeing those "Thunderbolt Arrows" about to strike down, Wu Yi finally made his move.

Boom!

Wu Yi suddenly waved his sleeve, and iron needles shot out from his palm.

As the wind hit them, the needles rapidly transformed into giant iron pillars reaching skyward.

In the next moment, the iron pillars, like lightning rods, actively drew the Thunderbolt Arrows away, channeling their power directly into the ground.

Rumble...

In an instant, the mountains quaked, and the earth crust cracked.

Lord Tingyao's mighty power nearly destroyed the peak, yet Wu Yi and Xiao Yue remained unharmed.

"The predecessor of this Thunder Curse was the Thunder-Calling Spell..."

"Do you think that three hundred years ago, the Great Xia Wizards cast the Thunder-Calling Spell in this way?"

With a slight smile on his lips, Wu Yi spoke calmly yet defiantly.

Three hundred years ago, there was no mention of the "Thunder Curse" in Great Xia.

The Great Witch's Thunder-Calling Spell relied precisely on these iron needles to draw down celestial thunder.

As long as one of those needles hit the target, it would inevitably summon Celestial Thunder to strike down.

Of course, there was a fundamental precondition for casting the Thunder-Calling Spell—there must be thunderclouds.

Perhaps it was due to these stringent requirements.

The Thunder-Calling Spell was eventually abandoned by the Great Witches as useless.

Now, perhaps only the "Witch King," the Common Lord of the world, knows how to cast this obscure spell.

"Courtesy demands reciprocity..."

With a soft murmur, Wu Yi once again waved his sleeve, retracting the iron pillars rooted in the earth.

"Let me see who you really are!"

...........................

Several kilometers away, on the hill of Zhenhe Peak.

Lord Tingyao looked in bewilderment at the suddenly vanishing thunder and quickly realized what had happened.

"Thunderbolt Arrows can be resolved like this?"

Choosing not to confront directly, the Thunderbolt Arrows were instead channeled into the ground.

Even the power attached to the Thunderbolt Arrows was similarly directed underground, without harming the intended target.

"And what about the Flame Arrow?"

"Can you resolve it this way too!?"

With a low murmur, Lord Tingyao once again took on the stance of drawing a bow and preparing to fire.

However, before Lord Tingyao's remaining arms could sketch a talisman, a flash of lightning streaked beneath his feet.

"I see, so this is the usage improved by that Prophet?"

Paralyzed, Lord Tingyao could only widen his eyes.

In disbelief, he watched as Wu Yi and Xiao Yue appeared beside him out of thin air.

"If that Prophet himself were casting these spells, I might be a little worried."

"But clearly, you don't understand the essence of these spells, merely copying without even being a 'good student.'

With just a gentle tap on Lord Tingyao's body, Wu Yi dispelled the gathering flames.

Xiao Yue then delivered a powerful kick to Lord Tingyao, knocking the towering giant to the ground.

Boom!

The giant fell, the huge bow dropping, instantly kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Stop! This is just a misunderstanding!"

Seeing Xiao Yue about to attack Lord Tingyao in fury again.

A startled shout suddenly rang out from the water, accompanied by a low rumble of the earth.

"Who are you?"

Raising a hand to stop Xiao Yue's next move.

Wu Yi curiously turned around, looking at the massive figure gradually emerging from the stream.

It was a water buffalo, a deity in the form of a one-horned bovine.

Though not as large as Lord Tingyao, the presence of this Unihorned Rhinoceros seemed substantial.

As it slowly emerged from the water, the rhythmic trembling of the earth echoed with each step of its hooves.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Unihorned Rhinoceros seemed to be deliberately displaying its power, or perhaps it was the earth responding to its call.

"My name is Unihorned Rhinoceros, the Prophet's steed."

"The Prophet foresaw your arrival and sent me to resolve the misunderstanding in advance."

Turning its eyes with an air of innocence, the Unihorned Rhinoceros spoke with sincerity.

"Oh, is it really such a coincidence?"

With a half-smile, Wu Yi arched an eyebrow, clearly not believing the Unihorned Rhinoceros's words.

Or rather, Wu Yi believed that Unihorned Rhinoceros was sent by Li Boyang but didn't think it arrived just in time.

"Yes, it is quite coincidental indeed..."

Blinking with a touch of guilt, the Unihorned Rhinoceros responded with a lack of confidence.

As Wu Yi had suspected, the Unihorned Rhinoceros had been there for some time, aware of Lord Tingyao's attack.

However, the Unihorned Rhinoceros did not trust Wu Yi.

For it knew better than anyone the significance of the term "Witch King."

In the best-case scenario, Wu Yi would take Li Boyang away, grooming him to become the next "Great Xia's Lord."

But then, what would become of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?

After all this time, a new order had finally emerged in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range. Who would want to return to the chaotic and savage past?

Neither the Mountain People nor the Gods; who wouldn't want to pursue a better life?

As for the worst-case scenario, it was terrifying.

"Witch King" was not merely a title but also a frightening ritual.

According to the Unihorned Rhinoceros, the birth of every "Witch King" inevitably involved the fall of countless young talents and the death of many witches.

It was precisely due to these almost parasitic-like rituals.

That Great Xia could groom beings capable of challenging or even crushing Gods.

At least, as a deity, the Unihorned Rhinoceros thought so.

Thus, from both its own and the Hundred Lands Mountain's standpoint, the Unihorned Rhinoceros did not wish for Li Boyang and Wu Yi to meet.

"Alright! I'll accept it's indeed such a coincidence."

"Don't worry, I won't mention these events to the Prophet."

After calming his tone a bit, Wu Yi glanced at the bewildered Lord Tingyao before continuing.

"But I want to know what has happened in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range in recent years?"

"Also, what is the Prophet's status or position there now?"

"A mere human who can make two powerful deities willingly serve and toil for him is extremely rare across the Nine Provinces."

Wu Yi spoke truthfully; without the title of "Witch King," he wouldn't be able to command the deities of Great Xia.

Moreover, merely obeying orders and willingly serving are two entirely different things.

In Li Boyang, Wu Yi saw a style different from Great Xia's, a quality similar to the first Witch King.

This made Wu Yi feel that he might gain some unexpected insights on this journey.
