Chapter 406: 405a

Earthly Lightning Tribulation

/*unedited*/

The thick clouds floating above the area gives off an ominous feeling of danger and peril. It's like the heavens are angered by something that should not have existed in this world.

These kinds of things usually happen in the cultivation land, so Shin Jiao is not new to this kind of feeling in the air, but he can feel that this is a warning from the deity protecting the planet. It only means that the weapon he has taken out contains power more than that is welcome in this world.

This is what most cultivators called lightning tribulation, a deadly occurrence that has taken more than half of the cultivators facing it. However, in the cultivation land, cultivators learned how to create arrays to protect themselves from these kinds of things. But still, the higher the cultivator ascends to the realms, the stronger the tribulation is.

Hence, many fell from their own lightning tribulations or broke their cores because of it.

This thing in front of Shin Jiao is something from the earth and he knew that it is not as strong as those that can be found in the cultivation land. So he didn't bother with protecting himself from it.

However, he had underestimated the deity protecting the earth.

An arm thick lightning descended directly towards his head. Feeling the danger right at that instant, Shin Jiao pointed the black katana upwards.

Although it was one of the simple crafted items of Shin Jiao from before, it was still a weapon with the level of a gold core realm cultivator. Hence its strength is out of this world.

Crash!!! Boom!!!

The lightning hit the blade, and it suddenly spreads to the surroundings, raining down lightning bolts towards the mutants and the monsters alike not choosing whether its friends of foes.

The hundreds of bats that Bloodrain sent were all eliminated and turned into dust in an instant.

"No!!!" Bloodrain growled in pain as she slowly fell to the ground.

The bats are connected to her body, and with them turning to dust affected her life and vitality.

Thud!

She lost consciousness after falling and with that, the ghouls in the area also lost their master's command.

With the loss of direction from a higher being, the ghouls became mindless creatures and began attacking even their allies.

"Shit! These bastards are crazy! They are also attacking our group!" shouted a mutant, but suddenly one of the ghouls pounce at him ripping his neck off as he showed an unwillingness to die.

Blast the leader of the Russian Variant Mutant Squad, who is still fighting against Captain James, immediately retreated towards his team of mutants along with the bulky man Broody, upon seeing the situation at hand.

"Variant Squad, we're done here, let's retreat!" he shouted in his intercom as he moves back while dodging the energy bullets from Captain James.

"Damn it! Don't let them get away!" shouted Captain James as he tried to shoot more bullets but to no avail.

However, the ground is now littered with the corpse of the ghouls and the mutants from the Blood Mutant Faction. Without proper training in fighting, those mutants are just some ragtag group that is easy prey to the Omega Squad who didn't lose anyone because of Owl.

Shin Jiao slowly approaches Bloodrain who is now unconscious. She looks like an 8 or 9-year-old child, wearing a child's red dress with frills and lace on the side.

"A vampire eh…" Shin Jiao muttered as he lifted his sword to deliver the final blow.

"Wait! Don't!" Cried out Captain James upon seeing the unfeeling expression of Shin Jiao when he is about to take the life of the child-like woman.

"We still need her… she needs to face the consequence of her actions," said Captain James.

Shin Jiao forgot that as a soldier, this is one of their mindset. To only kill when possible and capture any enemy. But this is not the case in the cultivation land. He remembers his experience in that place as he would only kill when necessary and spares some people. But then he discovered that this is a flawed principle in that place.

But because he is on earth, he decided to spare the unconscious child-like vampire.

He turns his gaze to the sky and discovers that the supposed heavenly tribulation was just one shot. But he knew that if his physique is not in the infant soul realm, he would have turned into dust by then.

The counter-attack was successful and many mutants from the Blood Mutant Faction were caught along with their leader, Bloodrain.

As the soldiers clean up the area, Shin Jiao and Shi Anne Li are already traveling back to the base.

After the long fighting and the help he gave to the special operations secret base, he now has time to think about the program he wanted to give to the group of hospitals in the US. He knew that, if the program is successful, it would be of great help to the world.

This is because the US has almost the complete record of every disease in the world, if he can get his hands on those, then his research would be complete. This way, he can be of help to the planet's progression and safety which is one of his goals before totally returning to the cultivation land and recovering his old memories.

Plus, upon seeing the Immortal gears in the forest, he has decided on another project which he knew is a bit dangerous because of the greed of men. But he still needs to do it, just in case anything would happen in the future.

While musing over his plans, Shin Jiao was distracted by the faint smell of fragrance near his shoulder. Then he felt Shi Anne Li's head leaning over towards him. He saw her already dozing off as he immediately catches her head.

Although she was being nurtured and enhanced by the exoskeleton suit, it is not enough to take the toll of the stress she was in for that period of time and the fighting she has done in the field.

"Rest now, my sweet… I'm here." He muttered as he once again remembers the sweet times they had together made him drew out a sweet smile on his lips.

...

Meanwhile, in a secluded corner, a person watches all that has happened and an angry look appear on his eyes while hiding in the darkness.

"We failed, sire... the princess was taken. The scientist is actually a very powerful fighter that can summon lightning from the heavens. What should we do next?" he reported.

After hearing the reply of the person on the other end of the line, the man angrily gritted his teeth and glared at the man leading the group.

"I'll see you soon, Captain James...." he said as he suddenly vanished from his spot.
