Chapter 3169: Spiritual Sword Scripture Obtained

A human cultivator, a lightning-attributed cultivator!

Hou Lei's expression darkened. Could this mean the opponent was a hidden master from the Xu family, someone who had been traveling abroad?

At this point, the opponent's origin was no longer important. Since they dared to infiltrate the Skyhowl Mountain Range, they must have some formidable backing.

Members of the Skyhowl Clan either manipulated treasures or activated their Dharma Idols, launching attacks at Wang Mengbin.

Accompanying roars of ferocious beasts, golden sound waves surged from all directions. Hundreds of spirit-glowing Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures flew directly towards Wang Mengbin.

Wang Mengbin's body glowed intensely with lightning. Countless thick silver bolts of lightning surged forth to meet the attacks. With thunderous roars, blinding spiritual lights erupted high in the sky, highly conspicuous.

Hou Lei conjured a copper hammer that glowed with yellow light. After emitting a dazzling yellow radiance, the hammer rapidly expanded in size and hurtled towards Wang Mengbin with a piercing whistle.

The Skyhowl Clan possessed immense physical strength, but they excelled more in sound wave attacks.

The Yaksha Clan also had powerful physiques and mastered sound wave attacks, but their strength lay in their physical bodies, whereas the Skyhowl Clan's strength was in their sound wave attacks. The focus was different.

Wang Mengbin's body flared with lightning, and he vanished from his spot. Hou Lei's attack missed its target, causing him to frown deeply.

A silver lightning bolt illuminated the void a thousand miles away, revealing Wang Mengbin's figure. Beneath him was a vast expanse of Skyhowl cultivators.

Wang Mengbin performed a hand seal, and a deafening thunderclap echoed from high above. A massive black thundercloud materialized in the sky, flashing with lightning and rumbling with thunder. Tens of thousands of thick silver lightning bolts ferociously struck down towards the Skyhowl cultivators.

The entire Xu family, tens of thousands of cultivators, had been almost completely wiped out by the Skyhowl Clan. When Wang Mengbin was attempting to break through to the Integration Stage, Skyhowl cultivators happened to pass by and tried to intercept and kill him. Fortunately, Fairy Fengyuan and Granny Jin Die were also passing through. With old grudges combined with new ones, Wang Mengbin had no intention of being courteous to the Skyhowl Clan.

A series of shrill screams erupted. Thousands of Skyhowl cultivators were struck by the dense silver lightning, reduced to ashes. A large number of buildings were destroyed, and flames shot into the sky.

Enraged, Hou Lei opened his mouth and spat out a small bell glowing with yellow light. He infused it with a magic seal, and the yellow bell rapidly expanded in size, emitting astonishing spiritual energy. It was clearly a mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.

He activated his Dharma Idol, which spewed out a hazy yellow sound wave directly at Wang Mengbin. Wherever it passed, long, thick cracks appeared in the void.

At the same time, the ground shook violently. Hundreds of yellow lights shot skyward, and a powerful gravitational force emerged out of thin air. This was the Skyhowl Clan's stronghold, allowing Hou Lei to leverage some advantages.

Hou Hao and several other clan elders each held a yellow formation disc, casting various magic seals to assist Hou Lei in the battle.

Wang Mengbin wielded the Five-Lightning Halberd, unleashing a massive five-colored lightning bolt that shattered the yellow sound wave. He took a deep breath and let out a mighty roar that resonated through the sky.

Hearing this sound, Hou Hao let out a pained shriek, collapsing to the ground with his features contorted. All clan members below the mid-stage Void Refinement realm lost consciousness.

The Soul-Suppressing Roar.

Wang Mengbin had not yet cultivated the Soul-Suppressing Roar to the seventh level; otherwise, its power would have been even greater. Hou Lei, hearing the sound, frowned, feeling a slight discomfort.

A thick golden lightning bolt surged directly towards him, reaching his face in an instant. He quickly activated his Dharma Idol, which spewed out a hazy yellow sound wave, shattering the golden lightning. The blinding golden lightning then enveloped Hou Lei's figure.

A five-colored lightning bolt shot forth, piercing into the golden lightning, followed by a man's pained shriek.

Thunder rumbled, and the thundercloud churned violently. A silver lightning pillar, a hundred zhang in diameter, descended from the sky, plunging into the golden lightning.

Loud thunderclaps reverberated as golden and silver lightning intertwined. The powerful shockwave flattened hundreds of mountains and destroyed numerous buildings.

With a flash of yellow light, a giant yellow bell suddenly appeared above Wang Mengbin's head, descending to cover him. Wang Mengbin swung the Five-Lightning Halberd to meet it.

With a clang of muffled metal, the giant yellow bell swayed slightly. Wang Mengbin's body flared with lightning, and he vanished from his spot.

The next moment, he reappeared atop a steep peak, his Five-Lightning Halberd firmly planted in the ground.

Wang Mengbin changed his hand seals, and the thunder became even more piercing. The area within a radius of ten thousand miles transformed into a sea of lightning. Dense silver lightning bolts struck down from the sky, shattering rocks and soil, collapsing buildings, and igniting vegetation.

The power of the lightning was incredibly domineering. Even though the Skyhowl cultivators had treasures for protection, the sheer abundance of lightning made it impossible for them to resist.

A yellow spiritual light glowed, revealing Hou Lei's figure.

He was covered in dust and grime, with traces of brownish blood at the corners of his mouth. His Dharma Idol had already been shattered by Wang Mengbin.

He had already realized that his opponent's divine abilities were formidable, and he was no match. The best course of action was to retreat.

The moment Hou Lei appeared, countless silver electric arcs converged, forming a silver lightning dragon over a thousand zhang long, which lunged towards Hou Lei. Simultaneously, silver lightning bolts struck down from high in the sky.

Hou Lei tried to evade, but a man's roar, echoing through heaven and earth, resounded. This time, Hou Lei's body trembled, and his features contorted.

Wang Mengbin used the Nine-Revolution Divine Spirit Art to double his divine sense, greatly increasing the power of his Soul-Suppressing Roar. By the time Hou Lei regained his clarity, the silver lightning dragon had already reached him, colliding with his body.

After a thunderous roar, a ball of silver lightning illuminated the sky, accompanied by a scream.

Wang Mengbin subtly flicked his wrist, and the Five-Lightning Halberd transformed into a five-colored lightning streak, leaving a long white trail in the void. It split the silver lightning into two. A miniature Nascent Soul, just as it left the body, was enveloped by a silver glow and drawn into a silver jade bottle, vanishing from sight.

Wang Mengbin grabbed the miniature Nascent Soul and performed a soul-search, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face. Hou Lei had visited many dangerous places on the Qian Yuan Continent, including the Qian Yuan Grotto-heaven.

With Hou Lei's physical body destroyed, the remaining Skyhowl Clan members were no match for Wang Mengbin and were all annihilated by him. Only a portion of the Skyhowl cultivators managed to teleport away.

Wang Mengbin emptied the Skyhowl Clan's treasure vault, not even sparing the spirit herbs, and then left the area.

A day later, masters from the Ancient Dome Clan arrived at the Skyhowl Mountain Range, only to find a scorched earth. It was difficult to even find a single complete corpse.

Less than half a month later, a terrifying piece of news spread rapidly: the Skyhowl Clan's stronghold had been wiped out by a human lightning cultivator. Several races hostile to humanity immediately heightened their vigilance to avoid suffering the same fate as the Skyhowl Clan.

Concurrently, various alien cultivators dispatched numerous personnel to search for Wang Mengbin, but he had long since departed.

Xuanling Continent, Green Lotus Island. Green Lotus Peak, a certain secret chamber.

Wang Changsheng sat cross-legged on a blue futon, his eyes slightly closed, enveloped in a blue aura.

At the Peak of Green Lotus, a sound transmission talisman flew in. Wang Changsheng sensed its presence, and the blue aura around him dissipated as he opened his eyes.

He opened his mouth and exhaled a blue light, striking the talisman. The talisman spontaneously ignited, and Wang Ruyan's voice rang out: "Husband, Senior Brother Zhao has arrived. He says he's acting on Uncle-Master Chen's orders and has a task for you."

"A task?" Wang Changsheng was slightly taken aback.
