ACSP: Chapter 147: Super-speed Clearance, Three Thousand Killed with One Lightning Strike, He Is Simply a God!
"—Rumble!"
The thunder in the sky began to grow increasingly dense.
Lightning flashed within the clouds, as if countless silver snakes were weaving and rampaging inside.
The surrounding lightning seemed to be drawn by some kind of power, rapidly converging towards the direction where Jiang Chen was.
An oppressive atmosphere gradually permeated the air.
The sky grew dim, with dark clouds pressing down.
Jiang Chen stood suspended beneath the clouds, holding lightning in his hands, with wings sprouting from his back, like a deity walking out of a pool of lightning, born with a proud spirit, invincible across the world.
"What is he trying to do?"
"I know, he must be trying to use Lightning Release skills to intercept those sea beasts on the periphery of Cloud Thunder Canyon."
"Sigh~, it seems he still underestimates those sea beasts too much. Although Lightning Release has better conductivity in the sea, those sea beasts are thick-skinned and fleshy; the electricity conducted through the seawater probably won't even break their defenses, right?"
"Indeed, previously in the Hard-level Cloud Thunder Canyon, someone had tried such an experiment using Lightning Release skills, but in the end, only the sea beast directly hit by the Lightning Release died, while the others only suffered minor injuries, which were of no consequence at all."
Seeing Jiang Chen use a Lightning Release skill, Luo Yuqing and the others thought he intended to use the Lightning Release in his hands to intercept the sea beasts, and they all shook their heads.
In their eyes, even if Jiang Chen used the Lightning Release in his hands to kill one sea beast, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
After all, the beast tide in the sea later would consist of thousands.
"Forget it, let's stick to the original plan. I'll fly over now to talk to Jiang Chen and have him cooperate with us."
Seeing that the surrounding sea beasts had already begun to surface from the sea, Luo Yuqing did not hesitate and immediately issued combat orders to her three teammates.
Then, she herself flipped and jumped onto the back of her Summoning Owl.
However.
Just as Luo Yuqing was preparing to ride the Summoning Owl to Jiang Chen's side.
More than a hundred figures with lightning in their palms and wings spread on their backs suddenly appeared in the sky.
Those figures flashed out like ghosts, scattered around Cloud Thunder Canyon.
Luo Yuqing looked closely.
She was shocked to discover that all those people were Jiang Chen.
"Why did he create so many Shadow Clones? How much Chakra must that waste..."
Luo Yuqing murmured in surprise.
Unexpectedly, before she could finish her sentence.
Another scene appeared in the sky that she would never forget for the rest of her life.
She saw that from the layer of thunderclouds hovering over the canyon, one after another fierce-looking and majestic Lightning Style: Kirin emerged.
Those Lightning Style: Kirin bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they poked their bodies out from the clouds.
Under the guidance of Jiang Chen and his [Shadow Clones].
They instantly turned into bolts of lightning, striking the sea below at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
"—Boom!!!"
The sound of thunder and the sound of breaking through the air rang out simultaneously.
Huge clusters of lightning began to explode, condense, and burst in the sea area!
In an instant.
The entire Cloud Thunder sea area turned into a vast ocean of lightning.
A large number of sea beasts thrashed violently in the lightning ocean, attempting to escape this sea of thunder.
But in the end, they were swallowed by the spreading lightning, none spared.
"Congratulations on slaying a sea beast, you obtained 200 experience points!"
"Congratulations on slaying a sea beast, you obtained 180 experience points!"
"Congratulations on slaying a sea beast, you obtained 210 experience points!"
"Congratulations..."
"..."
Successive kill notifications rang in Jiang Chen's ears, continuous and endless.
Although the experience points for killing these sea beasts were not much.
The advantage lay in the sheer quantity.
Jiang Chen didn't know how many sea beasts he had killed with this one strike.
Judging from the increase in his experience bar.
It should be at least 3,000!
Because his experience points had just increased by over 600,000 in an instant!
So satisfying!
Obtaining 600,000 experience points in an instant!
If he told others, they might not even believe him.
After the lightning on the sea surface dissipated.
Jiang Chen stood in the air, and as far as his eyes could see, there were nothing but dense corpses of sea beasts.
On the other side.
As Jiang Chen killed those sea beasts, the four teammates including Luo Yuqing all received kill rewards.
However, the experience points they received were only 10% of Jiang Chen's!
But even so.
They had all been shocked by Jiang Chen's earth-shattering strike just now.
"Holy crap, one-shotting so many sea beasts? What exactly was that Lightning Release skill he just used?"
"I just saw a Lightning Style: Kirin, no, it was many Lightning Style: Kirin, it was those Lightning Style: Kirin that killed those sea beasts."
"A Lightning Release skill with such terrifying power must definitely be S-rank, maybe even more..."
"Am I dreaming? There isn't even a single living sea beast on this sea surface now, they're all fucking dead, aren't they?"
Luo Yuqing and the others stared at Jiang Chen in dumbfounded amazement; apart from shock, no other expression could be found on their faces.
Just at this moment.
A ray of sunlight suddenly pierced through the clouds and shone down, landing right on the faces of Luo Yuqing and the others.
Everyone looked up.
They were surprised to find that the cumulonimbus clouds, which had originally been hovering over Cloud Thunder Canyon, were actually slowly dissipating.
Seeing this, Luo Yuqing and the others were all stunned.
They had cleared the "Simple" and "Difficult" difficulty levels of [Cloud Thunder Canyon] several times before.
But they had never encountered a situation like this.
You have to understand, according to the background introduction of this secret realm, the cumulonimbus clouds above Cloud Thunder Canyon coexist with the canyon itself.
For as many years as Cloud Thunder Canyon has existed, they have hovered there, never disappearing.
Yet this time, the cumulonimbus clouds were actually gone.
This was a situation they had never expected.
"There is only one reason for the cumulonimbus clouds to recede, and that is that all the lightning in the clouds has vanished. Could it be... that the Lightning Release skills Jiang Chen used just now were brought down using the lightning elements from these clouds?"
Luo Yuqing pondered thoughtfully, her eyes filled with shock.
Although this was absurd, it was the only explanation at the moment.
Everyone looked at each other, falling silent for a moment.
Someone who can even control natural lightning—is he still a Contractor? This is clearly a god, right?
"Ding~!"
Just then, a series of notifications rang in the ears of Jiang Chen and the others again:
[Mission Notification: Congratulations on killing all the sea beasts in the Cloud Thunder Sea Area. You have successfully completed the secret realm mission and received the basic reward: 70,000 experience points!]
