The door.
The door was pushed open silently, bringing with it a slight undercurrent.
The Blood Knight raised his arm — — -
The blood-red light flew out and circled around the room at an extrely fast speed before flying back.
— — -nothing.
The Clown is nowhere to be seen.
The Blood Knight stood at the door, slowly falling silent.
The undercurrent of water made his movents a bit clumsy, but it didn't affect him too much.
I've already searched every room — — -
According to the rules, the Clown can't hide from , so I should've already found him.
Damn it.
What exactly is going on?
As the Blood Knight was thinking in annoyance, his attention was caught by a flash of light.
The window.
Within the pouring rain outside, the sound of lightning and thunder beca more frequent.
They seed to be a bit ...
A bit too frequent.
— — -and their power had already surpassed my understanding of lightning.
The Blood Knight cautiously observed for a while, then slowly cald down.
With his many years of combat experience, he was certain that the lightning was naturally ford.
It definitely wasn't the Clown's lightning technique.
At the very next mont — — -
A bolt of lightning abruptly struck the church.
The bolt of lightning struck the church's spire and main hall. The spire was fine since it had a lightning rod, but the main hall was directly struck.
The Blood Knight silently observed, but didn't move.
I'm not there, so there's no need — — -
Suddenly, his body felt numb.
"Damn it!"
As soon as he uttered those words, his mouth was filled with water.
The entire church was subrged in water.
And this water wasn't pure water.
— — -it conducts electricity!!!
After a few breaths' worth of ti, the Blood Knight slowly regained his senses.
It's fine.
This level of lightning was scattered several tis in the water, so it couldn't harm him at all.
While he was thinking, an unforgettable scene appeared outside the window.
The sky was filled with dark clouds as the rain poured down.
Behind the low layer of clouds, more and more lights began to appear.
They looked like countless stars in the night sky, but they carried a certain inexplicable aning compared to the cold and lonely stars in the sky.
These stars fell down one after another.
"So it's lightning"
The Blood Knight silently thought.
Wait a minute — — -
Lightning!
So many lightning bolts!!!
He hurriedly looked around.
But there was water all around him. He was completely subrged in water.
Then open the window and jump out!
The Blood Knight gently pressed his hand against the window, afraid that he would break it.
He carefully pulled out the latch and pushed open the window. Just as he was about to jump out, he froze for a mont.
The clown is in this church.
If he were to leave this church, would it be considered as an escape?
If he ran away, he would be judged to have lost imdiately!
The Blood Knight had one foot on the windowsill. The water continued to flow outwards along his body, but it didn't decrease in the slightest.
Those talismans ...
Those talismans were constantly condensing water.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through the blood Knight's mind. In the end, he slowly retracted his leg.
He didn't dare to jump.
Jumping out ant losing.
If he lost, everything would be over. First of all, those Devil Kings would not let him off.
— — At this ti, the sky was filled with thunderbolts.
The world fell silent for a mont.
In the dark night rain, the thunderbolts struck the church like stars and were instantly sucked into the water that filled the entire church.
The entire church gradually emitted a deep blue light.
Lightning filled every corner of the church and beca more and more intense.
At this mont, the night rain stopped.
The sky grew even darker.
A dull roar of thunder could be heard from the dark clouds, revealing a sense of unwillingness and impatience.
An even more dangerous Tribulation lightning was about to arrive.
At the very next mont.
Blood-colored bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking straight at the church.
The Blood Knight coughed up a mouthful of blood, barely managed to stand by the window. Sensing the terrifying presence from the bolts of lightning, he was surprised, then overjoyed.
So it's a Heavenly Tribulation!
— — -a cultivator's Heavenly Tribulation!
The Clown is really done for this ti.
No matter where this terrifying Thunder of Destruction hit the church, it would definitely blast a huge hole in it.
This is destroying the structure!
While the Blood Knight was thinking, a bolt of lightning ca straight at him — — -
"Aaaaaaaah!"
Ignoring the water flowing into his mouth, he angrily roared and raised his arms to block the bolt of lightning with all his might.
Boom!
Under the imnse impact, the Blood Knight was about to fly backward, but as if recalling sothing, he abruptly stood still and blocked the bolt of lightning.
I can't retreat!
If I crash through the wall, I'll lose!
The Blood Knight coughed up another mouthful of blood, clenched his teeth and looked outside the window.
Only to see the bolts of lightning striking the church, creating large holes one after another.
It's over!
The Clown destroyed the structure — — -
The Blood Knight exhaled deeply and raised both hands to celebrate his victory.
Ti slowly passed.
In the sky, the wind blew and clouds gathered as destructive bolts of lightning once again gathered.
Wait a minute!
Why is the Tribulation lightning still coming?
Why is the Death Duel still not over even after the Clown destroyed the structure?
The Blood Knight angrily roared.
As if knowing what he was thinking, the old man's voice ca from the void of space:
"I will make a fair judgnt here."
"The Clown has invested 5.4 billion spirit stones, the condition is: You absolutely cannot destroy the structure with your own hands"
"Just now, it was the lightning that destroyed the structure, it wasn't the Clown who 'personally' destroyed the structure"
"— — -As I personally enjoy watching other people's expressions of despair, I'll give you one more hint:"
"It's said that for this type of Cultivation-type Heaven's Tribulation, if the cultivator can't be found, it ans that the Tribulation will continue without end, which ans the process will beco increasingly dangerous. The power of the Tribulation lightning — — -"
"Will also beco increasingly powerful"
The Blood Knight silently listened, as if he had turned into a statue that couldn't speak.
Deep in the sky.
Blood-red lightning balls gathered from all directions and began to take form.
More and more blood-red lightning balls gathered together, finally forming a gigantic hand of destruction that flickered with crimson lightning.
The giant hand spread out and floated silently under the clouds.
More heavenly lightning flew over and entered the giant hand.
The giant hand moved.
With unstoppable montum, it whistled through the clouds and smashed into the church on the ground with all its might.
The Blood Knight couldn't escape either. His entire body was wrapped in water, and there was no way for him to hide at all. He could only stand where he was and let out an angry roar.
"Liu Ping, if the lightning strikes, you'll die too!"
The next mont.
The giant hand ford by the blood lightning covered the church.
Everything beca silent.
The sky darkened and the earth shook. The crimson lightning and the earth roared together.
Boom!
The strong wind blew away all the water, and they turned into flying lines full of thunder and lightning in the air. Colorful purple, brilliant red, and blue lights, like flying fireworks in the dark night, instantly disappeared into the distance.
Amidst the ruins.
The Blood Knight was pressed down by a wall, his helt had fallen to the other side.
Although he was no longer breathing or having a heartbeat, his eyes were still open, as if he wanted to see the Clown's end even in death.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
The old man's voice resounded from the void of space:
"The bet is over, Clown"
At the edge of the ruined church, on top of the steeple next to the church's main hall, a lightning rod that stood tall on top of the steeple spoke up:
"You're not deceiving ?"
The old man smiled: "I'm not deceiving you. You've won quite a bit of money from this bet, I'm guessing you won't be able to spend it all for the rest of your life"
Bam!
The lightning rod instantly turned into a person.
His hair was combed back, his face was pale, and his eyeshadow was dark. He wore a colorful jacket and a pair of black pointy boots.
— — it was the Clown.
He was holding a Card in his hand and sighed: "It's ti for to co out, otherwise, when the Heaven's Tribulation becos even stronger, even I won't be able to endure it"
The Card depicted a completely normal green rock, one side of it was covered in moss, while the other side was covered in vines. There was even a small flower that had blood from a crack on the rock, fluttering in the wind.
Lines of burning text continued to appear in the air:
[Card: Rock of Nothingness]
[Occultism Card, Growth Card]
[Note: When you use this Card, you will beco an item that should belong to your current environnt, instantly appearing in your current environnt until you cancel it (once per hour)]
[You've used this Card and chosen to beco the lightning rod on top of the church's steeple]
[You've beco the lightning rod]
[— — this is the lightning rod that should have been on top of the church's steeple, there's nothing unusual at all, it should have been there]
