Chapter 342 Thunder and Fire Intertwined
"If only it were that simple, we could just find a thunderstorm and draw lightning, why bother coming all this way?"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng took out a piece of meteorite jade.
Then he sat cross-legged on the ground in front of the altar.
Curious, the crowd gathered behind Cheng Feng, only to see him raise his index finger and trace patterns on the metal lump.
Fragments gleaming with a metallic sheen were hung down.
Everyone understood that Cheng Feng was using his fingers as a carving knife to sculpt the metal lump.
"Dumb Zhang, can your tomb raiding technique also reach this level?"
Zhang Qiling glanced at Hei Xiazi silently.
Then he said calmly, "I am but a mortal, and the Fist of the Tomb Raider is not a diamond drill."
Black Bear clicked his tongue and said:
"You still need to practice, young man. Look at our boss, his one-finger Zen skill is terrifying."
This time, Zhang Qiling completely ignored Hei Xiazi.
The bear was left feeling awkward, so he could only look around cautiously, wary of any potential dangers.
The four women beside him did not disturb Cheng Feng; they simply found a place to sit down and rest.
About an hour later, the meteorite stone that Cheng Feng originally held had transformed into a sharp vajra.
Although it lacks intricate patterns, its surface is incredibly smooth and gleams with a metallic sheen.
One end is a handle, and the other end is a three-sided pointed shape.
This is an absolute weapon, the kind that is forbidden to use on the battlefield.
A gentle breeze blew away the debris from his body, and Cheng Feng stood up, holding the meteorite jade vajra.
"Blind man, in a moment you will follow my instructions to strike the bronze pillar. Everyone else, step back and stay away from the altar."
Holding the Vajra Pestle in his palm, Cheng Feng turned to the crowd and gave instructions.
"No problem, boss. Is there any requirement regarding the force of the tap? A little harder, a little lighter, or neither too hard nor too light?"
Hei Xiazi looked at the newly made murder weapon in Cheng Feng's hand and said with great excitement.
"Just tap normally to make a sound, but you need to tap faster."
After nodding in agreement, Hei Xiazi drew the short knife from his waist, ready to follow instructions at any time.
"Master, be careful."
"Old Cheng, if things aren't going well, don't try to tough it out. We have enough time, don't get stuck on this."
"be careful."
……
Faced with the four women's concern, Cheng Feng responded to each of them, assuring them that he would be alright. Only then did they retreat to a distance of more than ten meters.
But his gaze remained fixed on Cheng Feng, unwilling to look away.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cheng Feng stepped into the altar.
Standing in front of the coffin, Cheng Feng said in a deep voice, "Six o'clock, the third thinnest one."
The blind man reacted immediately upon hearing the sound, and soon, with a loud bang, the bronze pillar was struck.
"Nine o'clock position, the thirteenth thickest."
Takashi
This time, the sound was noticeably different from the previous one; the former had not yet stopped when the latter followed closely behind.
The booming sounds mingled together, just like the thunder during a thunderstorm.
Cheng Feng kept telling him which bronze pillars to strike and in what order.
Gradually, lightning began to coil around the six bronze pillars surrounding the altar, and the current spiraled downwards along the bronze pillars, illuminating the vast space.
"At three o'clock, the ninth thinnest."
As the last bronze pillar was struck, a thunderous roar resounded.
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from above, engulfing Cheng Feng and the coffin.
Instantly, the coffin burst into flames and was burned to ashes in just a few seconds, revealing the female corpse inside.
Strangely, despite the intense lightning and fire, the female corpse remained completely unharmed except for her clothes being burned.
"Old Cheng!"
Yang Xueli looked worriedly towards the center of the altar. At this moment, Cheng Feng's hair was standing on end, and electric currents were flashing across his body from time to time.
His clothes had long since turned into wisps of black smoke, leaving not a speck of dust behind.
Amidst the lightning, the meteorite jade demon-subduing pestle in Cheng Feng's hand began to emit a golden luster.
As Cheng Feng endured the pain of the lightning damaging his body tissues, he raised the Vajra Pestle in his hand.
As the Vajra pestle rose above Cheng Feng's head, countless bolts of lightning converged upon it.
In a very short time, the vajra turned from gold to red, visibly radiating intense heat.
"die!"
With a hoarse growl, Cheng Feng thrust the Vajra Pestle directly into the woman's chest.
In an instant, the vajra pierced through the woman's chest.
Countless bolts of lightning erupted around the female corpse.
To everyone's eyes, a wisp of black mist emanated from the spot where the Vajra Pestle had pierced.
But it began to gradually dissipate amidst the intense thunder.
With a sharp sizzle, like the sound of fingernails scraping across a blackboard, everyone covered their ears in pain.
The sound was like sharp thorns, causing them excruciating pain as it pierced their eardrums.
With that sharp, strange sound, the female corpse was instantly ignited by the heavenly lightning from the inside out, and quickly turned into a burning skeleton.
Cheng Feng then released his grip on the Vajra Pestle, bent his knees, and leaped away from the altar area.
Uncomfortable with wearing clothes in front of others, Cheng Feng quickly went behind the bronze pillar in the distance and took out a set of clothes from the imaginary space to cover his body.
His clothes didn't even last three seconds under the lightning.
After returning to the four women, they surrounded Cheng Feng and began to grope him.
"Let me check if you're hurt anywhere."
Huo Ling lifted Cheng Feng's shirt from behind, her face full of urgency.
Chen Wenjin was also holding Cheng Feng's hand, which had just been holding the Vajra pestle.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they found it was just some black ash.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Cheng Feng grabbed Huo Ling's small hand, which was trying to pull down his pants, and comforted her helplessly.
The women gradually calmed down.
"Old Cheng, that evil creature has been eliminated, right?"
Yang Xueli looked at the altar where the lightning was gradually dimming and asked softly.
At this moment, Cheng Feng couldn't help but frown, because he hadn't heard any system notifications.
This is enough to show that the evil god's split entity has not been completely eliminated.
"It is certain that the evil I sealed inside the female corpse has been destroyed."
"That's good. I didn't expect eliminating this thing to be so troublesome."
Chen Wenjin's expression was solemn; this method was something no one else could possibly accomplish.
The scene of lightning and fire intertwined was something that ordinary carbon-based life forms could not withstand.
"Yes, we need to use meteorites to disperse it when the heavenly lightning suppresses it, otherwise lightning alone can only weaken and drive it away."
As the family was talking, Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi, who was rubbing his ears, walked over together.
"How was it, boss? Was my tapping force alright?"
"Very timely. This time you've redeemed yourself, and your salary is safe."
Cheng Feng chuckled and said to Hei Xiazi.
Although the cleanup mission encountered an unexpected setback, Cheng Feng remained optimistic. After all, the mission was triggered within the Thunder City area.
That evil god's split body must also be in Thunder City. As long as we continue forward, we will eventually be caught in Cheng Feng's eyes.
