Chapter 978: Divine Demon · True Thunder
The ominous dark cloud that engulfed the sky seemed strangely evil. Although Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man did not feel immediate danger, the sensation was profoundly unsettling.
Being watched by that cloud felt as if their lives were under the control of a powerful unseen entity.
"Go!"
Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man swiftly moved, attempting to evade the gaze of the cloud. Yet, they clearly sensed that as they moved, the cloud followed, its enormous blood-red eye fixated on them, unblinking.
It was as if a cat was toying with mice, making Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man increasingly uncomfortable.
The only relief was that this dark cloud had yet to launch an attack.
"What should we do?" the Black Robed Man asked Shi Feng.
After being with Shi Feng, the Black Robed Man, perhaps unknowingly, began to unconsciously seek Shi Feng's opinion when facing difficulties.
There was something odd about Shi Feng, a feeling that as long as he was there, even the gravest danger could be averted.
Upon hearing the Black Robed Man's words, Shi Feng said, "For now, we can only take it one step at a time. We don't know what that creature wants or why it hasn't attacked us with murderous intent or powerful assaults."
"However, I can certainly feel that thing watching us, following us," the Black Robed Man said.
"?!!" At that moment, a strange, hoarse, and incoherent roar erupted from above, emanating from the massive cloud.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing that sound, Shi Feng's eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"Did you catch what that voice said?" the Black Robed Man asked Shi Feng.
"It seemed to be calling... Black Thunder?" Shi Feng replied. "What did you hear?" Shi Feng then turned to the Black Robed Man.
"I heard it too, it was calling Black Thunder," nodded the Black Robed Man.
The next moment, he exclaimed, "Black Thunder! Could it be the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder inside you? Is this giant creature here for the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder within you!"
After this realization, the Black Robed Man quickly darted away. This time, he didn't move along with Shi Feng toward the front; instead, he flashed to the side, repeatedly flickering to the left, soon distancing himself from Shi Feng.
When Shi Feng heard the Black Robed Man's exclamation, and then saw him leave, he understood his intention. Shi Feng continued to dash forward without any change, rapidly traversing through the dark, gloomy forest.
Despite this, Shi Feng did not let his guard down against the ominous cloud overhead, remaining alert in sensing it.
Even with the Black Robed Man's departure, Shi Feng could clearly sense the massive dark cloud moving along with him, its blood-red, sinister eyes locked on him.
Shi Feng continued to dart through the sinister forest at high speed. After about half a stick of incense's time, the black shadow that had moved away returned to his side.
"How is it?" Shi Feng asked the returning Black Robed Man immediately.
"I was right!" the Black Robed Man said. "The giant creature indeed follows only you, ignoring me completely. It must be after the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder within you!"
"Dark cloud! Black Thunder! They certainly make a fitting pair!" Shi Feng grinned wryly, speaking helplessly.
"But we can't go on like this. You have to find a way to shake off this monster so it doesn't follow us into danger," the Black Robed Man said.
Who knows how long the dark cloud will follow and when it might use its formidable power to threaten lives.
Shi Feng said, "I want to, but for now, there's no way to shake this creature off."
Hearing this, the Black Robed Man said no more. Since the creature had set its sights on Shi Feng, it was indeed hard to deal with. His Hidden Technique was completely ineffective.
"Huh? What's happening?" At this moment, after another flicker, the Black Robed Man was far in the forest, but he noticed Shi Feng had not followed.
Turning back, the Black Robed Man saw Shi Feng standing still, looking dazed, without any movement.
"What happened?" The Black Robed Man flashed back to Shi Feng and looked at him, puzzled.
Shi Feng looked as if he had lost his soul, standing motionless, alarming the Black Robed Man.
"Dead?" The Black Robed Man was shocked, thinking it, but soon shook his head, realizing the fellow's aura was still there, showing no signs of death.
Then, the Black Robed Man looked up toward the massive black cloud, knowing it was connected to Shi Feng's bizarre state.
"Divine Demon! True Thunder!" Just then, the Black Robed Man suddenly heard Shi Feng mumbling beside him.
The Black Robed Man looked back at Shi Feng, immediately seeing a surge of powerful black thunder rising from Shi Feng, shooting straight into the sky.
"What is happening?" The Black Robed Man was startled again. The black thunder surged toward the sky and spread rapidly in all directions, forcing the Black Robed Man to leap back, evading its sweep.
Where the black thunder passed, countless trees were instantly devoured and pulverized by the violent black thunder.
The Black Robed Man, keeping a distance from the skyrocketing black thunder, looked towards it again. At this moment, that figure had vanished within the black thunder, as if the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder from that day had descended again.
However, its power could not compare to the sky descending Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder. Even so, the power of this black thunder matched the might of Shi Feng's earlier attack with Blood Flame, Black Thunder, and Void Sword Killing striking the Earth Divine Bell to unleash powerful Sound Wave Power!
The Black Robed Man remained clueless about what was happening to this kid at that moment.
But he remembered Shi Feng had muttered four words earlier, "Divine Demon! True Thunder!"
These four words must have been a Thunderbolt Skill! Moreover, this skill was likely related to the black thunder erupting from him.
"Has that kid's body been possessed by the black cloud up there?" Thinking of the sky's black cloud, the Black Robed Man suddenly pondered!
