Chapter 157: The Brother Murong Brothers

Han Li left Yuelu Hall, said goodbye to the two red-clothed people, and drove his magic tool to fly toward the Hundred-Herb Garden.

In mid-air, while Han Li was thinking about the refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill, he looked down at the rolling hills below with indifference. Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from below, which surprised him, and he couldn't help but look closely.

I saw lightning flashing on a certain small mountain below, and there were faint cheers coming from it, which aroused Han Li's curiosity, so he landed his magic tool, stopped near the sound, and walked over on his own.

"Brother Murong brothers, do it again, let us see it again!"

"That's right, it's my first time seeing the shape of lightning so close, so scary!"

Just as he reached the top of the mountain, Han Li heard the noisy sound coming from the front, and the address of "Brother Murong brothers" made his heart stir.

"The genius brothers with lightning spiritual roots who just entered the sect, aren't they surnamed Brother Murong! Plus the loud noise just now, could it really be this pair of brothers who are the center of attention showing off their skills here?"

At this time, he had already seen about thirty or forty disciples of different ages on the top of the mountain, forming a loose circle, pointing at the two eleven or twelve-year-old teenagers in the middle and talking excitedly.

And there were several scorched big pits on the ground in the circle, the edges of the pits were dissolved by high temperature, and faint green smoke was rising. After a breeze blew, a burnt smell drifted everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Han Li hurriedly walked over and looked at the teenagers carefully. I saw that both of them were handsome, fair and tender, looking very similar, but their eyes were flashing with agility in the blink of an eye, looking like clever little spirits.

At this time, because of the gaze and praise of the onlookers, the faces of the two were flushed with excitement, and after looking at each other, they simultaneously cast magic formulas and recited incantations. A burst of electric light flashed in their hands, and then two thin flashes of lightning flew out, hitting the ground nearby, making two loud noises and a burst of dazzling white light, adding two more deep pits.

"Is this the Palm Lightning of the lightning attribute? Whether it is power or sound effect, it is much stronger than other magic techniques of the same level such as Fire Bullet Technique and Ice Cone Technique. It is truly worthy of being known as the lightning-type magic technique with the strongest destructive power!" Han Li secretly marveled in his heart, and envied the brothers' spiritual root attributes very much!

Obviously, Han Li was not the only one with this mentality outside the circle. Other disciples who were watching also looked at the two with sour eyes, only hating why they were not favored by heaven and possessed such enviable top-grade spiritual roots!

These brothers were a bit exhausted after showing off their lightning techniques several times amidst the cheers of the onlookers, after all, they were still a bit too young.

"What's the matter! The power of lightning spiritual roots is nothing more than this, I think it's not as good as my wind spiritual root!" Just then, a somewhat discordant male voice sounded from the crowd opposite Han Li, which made everyone around couldn't help but look over.

I saw a young man and woman standing side by side, the man was handsome and tall, the woman was beautiful, obviously a pair of lovers in love. The man had a face full of arrogance, as if he didn't care about the Brother Murong brothers' Palm Lightning at all, while the woman was blushing and shy when she was watched by so many people, adding a few more points of beauty.

"Who is this man? So arrogant!"

"Wind spiritual root? Isn't this also a kind of different spiritual root! Does this man also have a different spiritual root?"

"I know this person, he is Senior Brother Lu, his wind-type magic techniques are indeed powerful!"

"Even if he also has a different spiritual root, why say such words?"

"Maybe jealousy! After all, he was the only one with a different spiritual root among the low-level disciples before, but now two people with better aptitude suddenly appeared, so of course he is unbalanced in his heart!"

"What? Such a narrow-minded person!"

"Shh! Keep it down, don't let him hear it. He is very vengeful, if you are targeted, it will be terrible!"

Because of the appearance of this young man, everyone nearby whispered, and it seemed that this person's popularity was truly not good.

"Hmph! Little guys, let me show you what a real different spiritual root is!" The young man saw everyone discussing him like this, his face sank, and he walked into the circle in a few steps, then said arrogantly:

"You two just use lightning-type magic techniques to attack. If you dodge even half a step, I will kneel and admit my guilt to you two little ghosts!"

The Brother Murong brothers saw this Senior Brother Lu so arrogant, despising them for no reason, and their small faces turned pale with anger.

"You won't dodge?"

"Of course"

"And not allowed to use magic tools?"

"Can"

The two brothers were truly worthy of being twin brothers. One sentence each, they knocked down the rules favorable to their side, while the young man was arrogant, not putting the brothers in his eyes at all, and had no objections to the other party's conditions.

"Good, then my brothers will meet you, Senior Brother!" The teenagers said in unison with anger.

"Senior Brother Lu, is it okay for you to do this!" The young man's female companion became worried.

"Hehe! What's there to worry about dealing with two little brats!" The young man waved his hand indifferently, and then stood opposite the Brother Murong brothers in a big way.

The two teenagers looked at each other, suddenly leaned together, gripped one hand together, and pointed the other hand at the sky, reciting the same magic incantation at the same time!

The young man saw this and sneered, and cast a defensive magic technique on himself, and a cyan light shield immediately appeared around him, wrapping him firmly inside.

"Heavenly Lightning Chain Strike"

The twin brothers' incantations were finally finished, and then they pointed their fingers at the young man's head. As a result, a black cloud the size of a foot appeared above him, and a white light flashed in the cloud, and a flash of lightning as thick as a finger fell, hitting the cyan shield, making the shield shake constantly, which made the young man's face change, obviously the power of the lightning exceeded his expectations.

But this lightning strike was just the beginning. From the black cloud hanging in the sky, lightning strikes fell one after another, hitting the shield until it flickered and dimmed, as if it were on the verge of breaking.

The young man's expression turned gloomy. Suddenly, his hands cast magic formulas in a dazzling manner, and then he let out a low roar, pressing his hands firmly on the light wall of the shield, making the shield suddenly shine with cyan light, not only restoring its original state but also appearing a few points thicker than at the beginning.

And the Brother Murong brothers naturally wouldn't give up the advantage they had gained, and cast all kinds of magic formulas into the air, making the black cloud expand, reaching a diameter of several feet, and the falling lightning became thicker and more frequent.

Facing the fierce offensive of the two brothers, this Senior Brother Lu was surprised and angry, and he was caught off guard. He never expected that the two teenagers would master the low-level mid-tier chain lightning technique, and for a while, he was unable to draw away to cast other magic techniques to counterattack. He suffered such a big loss in front of so many people.

Just like that, on one side were the teenagers trying their best to support the continuous lightning strikes of the black cloud, and on the other side was the young man struggling to defend, constantly reinforcing the cyan shield. This competition actually turned into an unexpected tug-of-war.

Logically speaking, if one side is attacking and the other is defending, the attacker naturally has a great advantage and can save quite a bit of magic power compared to the defender. However, as the attackers, the Brother Murong brothers had already consumed a significant amount of magic power during the earlier demonstration, and their original reserves were already insufficient. Furthermore, the youth surnamed Lu was, after all, much older, and the purity and depth of his magic power were far beyond what they, as newcomers, could compare to. Engaging in a war of attrition still left them at a disadvantage.

Thus, under the gaze of everyone, the black cloud released the last few lightning strikes and then dissipated, turning into clarity. The teenagers, whose magic power was exhausted, were the first to be forced to stop the lightning strikes.
