Han Zong was confident he could kill Chen Xuan and Shen Binglan with this single strike, but for all his calculations, he had failed to account for the unexpected turn of events.
He knew the restrictions of the Sea-Suppressing Stele involved more than just the cold waterfall; they also included the Heaven Punishment Lightning housed within the cyan cauldron. Sensing the invaders were attempting to refine the stele, the black lightning within the cauldron flickered and leaped once more. This time, there was no need for preparation; with a sharp crack of thunder, a bolt of black lightning the size of a bowl shot out like a silver snake, attacking Chen Xuan, Shen Binglan, and Han Zong indiscriminately.
Chen Xuan’s expression tightened. He grabbed Shen Binglan and scrambled to the side. Without needing a command, the Lightning Carp discharged the remaining power of the Primordial True Lightning within its body, colliding head-on with the Heaven Punishment Lightning and knocking the bolt of black electricity off course.
