Chapter 559 Perish Together
The huge beast was strong and fierce, yet the Third Elder''s attack had left many wounds and scars on
its skin.
"The beast is going to risk its life. We must make the Sanguinary Thunder-devouring Array more
powerful!"
Knowing that once the main body of the thunder unicorn was revealed, it would be followed by a
desperate counterattack, the Third Elder yelled out to remind hispanions.
A startled look shed on the faces of the other four cultivators from the Thunder Sect when they heard
the words of Adrian. The next moment, they plucked several elixirs from their pockets and thrust them
into their mouths to replenish their vital energy.
With the help of the elixirs that they swallowed, more powerful vital energy was released and it got
added into the four huge bloody webs.
With huge amount of energy surging through them, the four huge bloody webs rolled and flew over to
the thunder unicorn, aiming to envelope it entirely. The air around the webs was stirring and permeating
with the thick smell of blood.
"Oh beast, you are dead today! This is the consequence of your refusal to hand over the Thunder
Elixir!"
A huge bow was formed between his hands as Adrian snapped. Urged by his vital energy force, a
gigantic arrow made of pure vital energy force took shape and stretched itself across the bow. He drew
the arrow to its full range and let it go.
With a hissing sound the arrow pierced the vault of heaven and darted towards the huge thunder
unicorn. It was glistening like a flying grey torch. The colorful fletching attached to the end of therge
arrow looked like a rainbow in the sky.
The huge arrow sent cold shivers down the beast''s spine. Stamping its four stump-like hooves against
the void beneath, its massive body moved one meter sideways in an instant.
But the situation was beyond the unicorn''s expectation. The huge arrow made of vital energy force
made a shift in the direction of its flight and zeroed in on the unicorn. Upon that, its movement had
been restricted by the overwhelming power of the Sanguinary Thunder-devouring Array. Dodging or
changing position to escape was almost impossible.
The grey lights and bright fletching glittered as therge arrow kept approaching the thunder unicorn. It
was apanied with an overwhelming power that could destroy anything in its way like splitting
bamboo. With a soft sound of the arrowhead piercing flesh, the huge arrow made of vital energy force
struck the thunder unicorn''s back, breaking its shell up. Tiny streams of silver blood seeped out from
the wound on the back, as one of its muscles exploded, apanied by a rain of blood.
"Howl!"
The heavy blow made its eyes go crimson. Apanied by a wild roar, the dazzling Thunder Elixir
approximately the size of a human head flew out when it opened itsrge mouth.
Suddenly, the Thunder Elixir soared up into the sky and made its way to the ck clouds that had been
formed some time ago. It left all the men present there confused.
Boom!
With the rise of the Thunder Elixir, a hundred shes of lightning, as thick as barrel, burst out from
multipleyers of thick clouds.
It filled the entire canopy of the sky with the sound of thundering that echoed for a long time.
All of a sudden, those barrel-shaped lightning poured down from the sky and enveloped the area where
the thunder unicorn and the five men from the Thunder Sect stood. The lightning shes possessed a
raging force that could destroy everything that was present in its way.
Instantly the space within the diameter of a thousand miles was lit up. It became so bright that even
objects as tiny as trees, grass des, stones or grains of sand were clearly visible.
"Shit! The beast has incurred lightning to end up inmon ruin with us. Run!"
Looking closely at the hundreds of grand barrel-shaped lightning shes in the sky, Adrian finally
understood what happened and called out to his fellowmen.
At the same time, he also scurried off to the distance like a bolt of grey lightning.
On seeing him, the other men from the Thunder Sect urged their bodily movement skill to run as fast as
their feet could carry them. They left the four bloody huge webs of the Sanguinary Thunder-devouring
Array behind as saving their own lives was the top priority now.
But it was toote!
The lightning was faster than the five men. Thus, fleeing to save their lives was just a dream for them!
After a rumbling thunder, all of them were bombarded and struck by lightning.
The weaker ones in the group of the Imperial Realm, like Elder Zhou and Xie and the other two, were
dead instantly. Their bodies turned into fine powder of flesh and blood.
Adrian suffered the strikes of two barrel-shaped lightning, which seared his body to a pile of heavily
smoking human-shape coke.
His mighty strength saved his life and he struggled hard. The continuous two shes of lightning struck
him badly but he still took faint breaths of life.
The thunder unicorn was not excluded from the attack of the lightning. Its huge body too suffered from
three or four strikes of lightning.
Half of its flesh had been destroyed, exposing the huge white skeleton under those parts.
Silver blood sttered down from the sky as if there was a silver downpour.
Like Adrian, it too was seriously injured, but still held onto itsst breath.
"Hmm, you low-down human! You will never prevail. I prefer to destroy my Thunder Elixir rather than
give it to you."
Though on the verge of death, the thunder unicorn struggled to roar. Its voice was as feeble as thread.
It could break anytime.
Then it took a stumbling whirl and staggered to the distance.
Only Adrian was left out of the five who belonged to the Thunder Sect.
Adrian knew that the thunder unicorn was more dead than alive. The thought of killing it crept into his
mind.
But a deep feeling of frailty and dizziness started to run through his veins instantly, and he had to let go
of that thought.
There was a bitter smile on his face. He knew he would die if he forced himself to attack.
Helplessly, he watched as the thunder unicorn struggled to leave that ce.
Shaking his head sadly, Adrian got down to the ground and sat with his knees crossed. He had to cure
his wounds.
Austin could sense the immense fight between the Thunder Sect cultivators and the thunder unicorn
with his spiritual sense. The fact that the unicorn triggered the lightning to perish with its rivals left
Austin bewildered and astonished.
He also had the panoramic view of the thunder unicorn leaving the battlefield while Adrian sat there
healing his wounds.
But to Austin''s astonishment, the thunder unicorn was heading towards him.
This surprised and delighted him. It was quite clear that the beast was on the verge of death. It was
running out of strength.
Austin realized that he could get the precious Thunder Elixir if he followed the beast until it died.
Though Austin was not clear about the functions and uses of the Thunder Elixir, he thought that it must
be extremely precious. If it wasn''t, the men from the Thunder Sect would not havee trekking
thousands of miles from the Elite Holy Kingdom to the outer range of the Grand Destion Mountain to
procure it.
Austin would have made a desperate run if the thunder unicorn was unhurt. But a dying unicorn was no
more a threat. So, Austin decided to wait for its arrival.
Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
The thunder unicorn was one of the swiftest creatures in the world due to its property of lightning. So,
though it was moving in slow steps in the sky, one step that it took covered at least two hundred
meters.
With each passing moment, the unicorn was drawing nearer to the area where Austin stood.
At the same time, several members of the Thunder Sect who were lurking not far from Austin had
spotted its trail.
These cultivators of the Thunder Sect had a spiritual sense which was inferior to Austin''s, so they didn''t
notice the unicorn until it moved closer to them.
"Danger ahead! A giant beast is moving in the sky."
Some of them whispered to warn the others.
"By looking at the lightning all around its body, it seems like the thunder unicorn.
Its breath is slow.
That means it is on the verge of death.
It surely has suffered serious injuries at the hands of Elder Adrian and his men.
Why not intercept it and wait for Elder Adrian?"
A man who seemed to be the leader shouted to the others.
After hismand, those figures rose and moved out of the dense forest.
Even the weakest of these Thunder Sect cultivators had reached the Mysterious Realm in their
cultivation base. Undoubtedly flying was possible for all of them.
This situation made the thunder unicorn a little hesitant. It was clear its death was already near.
It was surrounded by a dozen men now and gave out a soft sigh with helplessness.
''It looks like my luck has finally run out!''
The thunder unicorn, being born as a proud creature, captivity was not its choice or destiny. A calm
analysis of the men revealed to it that the strength of the cultivators was quite weak.
Without any hesitation, it opened its huge mouth and jetted a bolt of lightning. It was willing to perish
with these low-rank cultivators rather than fall into their hands.
The bolt of lightning released by it was thinner than an arm. The force and momentum it possessed
was no more than one-tenth of the same lightning in its prime.
Despite it, the lightning still pierced through the chests of the three superior cultivators at the premium
stage of Mysterious Realm and left them dead.
"Watch out!"
The impact of the attack on the three superior cultivators left the leader of the party in a state of fright.
He hadn''t expected that the beast would still have so much strength after its serious injuries.
Another batch of lightning jetted from the thunder unicorn''s mouth and instantly the leader''s voice
vanished.
The remaining five to six men got struck by the extremely swift lightning. Some didn''t get time to shriek
or cry before falling to the ground.
More lightning spurted from the beast''s mouth, ughtering all those cultivators from the Thunder Sect,
including one who was at the preliminary stage of the Sky Realm!
While it was havoc all around by the attack of the thunder unicorn, Austin sensed that the Thunder
Unicorn was bing weaker and weaker with each lightning it released.
Finally, out of its strength, the beast also fell to the ground after it had killed all those Thunder Sect
members.
Boom!
Like a meteorite, the huge trunk fell to the ground heavily and made a hole which was six to seven
meters deep in the earth.
Austin knew the beast had run out of its strength. It was not able to keep itself bnced in the air.
Bouncing and leaping swiftly through the dense forest, Austin came up to the thunder unicorn and
stared at it. It was stuck in the mud pit.
Extreme exhaustion and injuries made the thunder unicorn close its eyelids. One or two shes of
lightning that were thinner than a finger blinked faintly across its huge body. It was apanied by one
or two faint cracks.
On Austin''s arrival, the heavy eyes opened slowly again. The tworge eyes like bells stared at Austin
firmly.
Austin looked back in those eyes fearlessly.
The man and the beast looked at each other without blinking.
