Tycoon War God

BOOM!

The sky seemed to split open as a colossal force surged forth, suddenly descending.

At that moment, the inscriptions had completely covered Kaso’s body, and that powerful, violent energy had condensed to its peak. His entire body crackled with coalescing thunder, which destroyed the entire park beyond recognition. Ruthless indifference flashed in his eyes, as if he were a true deity looking down upon the mortal world.

”You who gaze upon the Thunder God, kneel!” a strange man’s voice boomed from Kaso’s mouth.

This voice seemed to echo from ancient times, imbued with a power that could shake one’s very soul.

Throughout River City, the expressions of countless martial artists changed as they looked up.

”What kind of power is that?”

”Such terrifying power of Heaven and Earth! This can’t possibly be the Divine Communion Realm, can it?”

”Since when did River City have such a strong martial artist? Could it be related to that psionic force from before?”

「Inside the park.」

”Thunder God?” Lin Mu sneered with disdain. ”On the soil of our great Huaxia, you dare call yourself the Thunder God?”

”If that’s the case, then allow me to show you what true thunderbolt power is!”

The moment he finished speaking, Lin Mu pushed his palm forward slightly. The girl in his arms was immediately propelled by a gentle force, flying across the lake to land softly on the grass.

As for Lin Mu himself, he raised one hand toward the sky.

The clouds parted, and a vortex appeared out of thin air, rippling gently as if something was about to emerge from within.

”Ignorant mortal, since you refuse to see reason, I will show you the power of a true deity!” Kaso sneered. The inscriptions on his body flickered as streams of lightning gathered in his palm, condensing into two orbs of light.

”Die!”

Kaso spat out an arcane, complex syllable. With a heave of his hands, the orbs of lightning hurtled toward Lin Mu.

The air tore apart, and even space itself rippled.

RUMBLE!

The two orbs of lightning shot toward Lin Mu at a terrifying speed, intent on obliterating him.

”Gather!”

Facing Kaso’s lethal strike, Lin Mu just chuckled and flipped his palm over.

He instantly caught the two orbs of lightning, which vanished in the blink of an eye.

Kaso froze for a moment, clearly not anticipating this.

”You do have some skill, but that’s the extent of your abilities,” Kaso sneered viciously. His hands suddenly danced wildly as terrifying bolts of lightning erupted from his body.

”Go!”

Kaso roared, and hundreds, even thousands, of orbs of lightning whistled out again, rushing toward Lin Mu as if to engulf him.

Unfortunately for him, Lin Mu merely shook his head and waved his hand again.

He instantly collected all the orbs of lightning in his palm.

”How is this possible?!” Kaso shrieked in disbelief.

Before he could react, a figure appeared before him. A hand, wreathed in lightning, pressed down abruptly on Kaso’s chest.

”Break!”

As Lin Mu’s word fell, a power that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth erupted from him. This force, filled with the savage and destructive power of the thunderbolt, instantly flooded into Kaso’s body.

”You can control the thunderbolt as well?” Kaso looked up abruptly, a trace of shock in his eyes.

But Kaso was not panicked. His lips curled into a cold arc as he sneered, ”You ant! Using the power of the thunderbolt in front of me is futile!”

Kaso took a deep breath, and all the thunderbolt energy was absorbed into his body. In the blink of an eye, he had drained every last bit of the thunderbolt force from Lin Mu’s hand.

”To use one of your Huaxia sayings, this is like ’brandishing a hatchet before a master-carver’—a true overestimation of your own abilities!” Kaso laughed, looking extremely pleased with himself.

”Is that so?”

However, the smile on Lin Mu’s lips only widened.

”Since you enjoy absorbing so much, I’ll let you absorb your fill!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the thunderbolt power in Lin Mu’s hand grew even more terrifying. A torrent of thunderbolt energy connecting heaven and earth surged in all directions, continuously pouring into Kaso’s body.

At first, Kaso remained calm, rapidly absorbing this power.

But very soon, his complexion changed.

”Stop! Stop it now!” Kaso screamed, his eyes filled with utter panic. The thunderbolt power from Lin Mu’s hand had become so concentrated that no matter how much he absorbed, it was endless.

”Stop it!” Kaso roared, his body swelling and shaking uncontrollably as the thunder marks on him began to fluctuate erratically.

THUMP!

With a muffled sound, one of the thunder marks on Kaso’s body burst open. This triggered a chain reaction, and the marks on his body exploded in quick succession. His entire aura became wildly unstable, as if he might detonate at any moment.

”I’m begging you, please stop!” Kaso was terrified now, feeling as if his opponent was a devil incarnate.

However, Lin Mu paid him no mind. He pressed his palm down again, and a giant figure, two zhang tall, materialized behind him, its entire body seemingly forged from condensed thunder.

Eight Assemblies—Thunder God!

When Kaso saw this figure, his jaw dropped, and he couldn’t close his mouth for a long moment.

”Thun... Thunder God?!”

Kaso’s eyes were filled with horror. His body had swelled to its limit and then, with a deafening BANG, it violently exploded.

As Kaso burst apart, a streak of black light flew out from the center of the explosion, attempting to flee into the distance.

”Damn you, Easterner! Just you wait! When my true body descends, you will die!” a strange voice called out from within the black light.

”Too bad you won’t get the chance.”

Without Lin Mu needing to speak, the Thunder God behind him blurred into action, leaving a trail of afterimages in the void.

Immediately, the Thunder God appeared above the black light and slapped down with his palm.

POP!

The black light shattered, and a voice filled with pain and fury echoed out.

”Easterner, I will remember you!”

Then, the black light vanished completely. Its disappearance also signified the fall of the internationally infamous King Jiasuo!

”Your subordinate pays his respects, Emperor Zun!” After extinguishing the black light, the Thunder God knelt on one knee in mid-air, his steel-like voice echoing in all directions.

”You cannot remain in this realm for long. Return,” Lin Mu said, his hands clasped behind his back.

”This subordinate shall take his leave!”

Hearing this, the Thunder God dared not object. His form instantly transformed into a streak of thunder that shot up and vanished into the Nine Heavens.

Lin Mu glanced around, and with a flicker, he too vanished from sight.

Having dealt with the King of Thunder, now those international assassin organizations and the Hongmen would have to think twice before provoking him again.

However, this matter was far from over.

「Before long.」

Shangguan Shiming arrived. She looked around, her expression grave. Even she was shocked by the residual power lingering from the battle.

Suddenly, Shangguan Shiming’s figure flickered. She appeared beside a clump of grass and snatched up the girl before quickly departing.

”Lin Wudi, I will find you!”
