Chapter 480 Drawing the Sword
"It's time to get used to this sky."
Lei Dian Lingyi gazed at the deep night sky. Ever since the sky was broken, only the night could give people some peace of mind.
I heard that recently An Ming, under the name of "Yellow Spring", has become the only hope for the people of Izumo, just like people's expectations for Aini when the evil beast first came to the world.
People always hope that a hero will appear to save the world, but they never care about the price behind that salvation.
But no one knows what kind of abyss that is.
Lei Dianling turned around and prepared to take a rest. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of light from the corner of his eye. In a short moment, the intense light swallowed up his entire field of vision.
The horrifying roar caused Lei Dianling to lose his hearing in an instant. Unbearable pain swept through his body, and he was thrown heavily against the wall.
A blazing spark ignited at the tip of his nose, and boiling blood flowed down his temples. For a moment, it seemed as if the world was turned upside down.
"Homeowner!"
"Go and move the beams—"
I don’t know how long it took, maybe just a few minutes, Lei Dian Lingyi suddenly woke up, and the adrenaline made him forget the pain for a short time.
The guards rushed into the shattered room under the flames and rescued Lei Dian Lingyi from under the burning beams.
"Hey, I'm fine, what's the specific situation?" Lei Dianling asked the guard beside him while spitting blood, and at the same time observed the surrounding environment as quickly as possible, but he could not see anything except the raging sea of fire.
"Oh my god, a giant snake fell from the sky!" There was intense fear in the guards' eyes. Even a warrior who had faced vicious beasts for many years would feel despair at this moment.
In the central area of the Lei Dian family, a circle of obvious depression suddenly appeared at this moment. The terrifying impact force blasted out a huge sinkhole, instantly razing most of the Lei Dian family's territory to the ground.
At the same time, the violent shaking was no less than an instantaneous earthquake. At this moment, the houses were as fragile as a piece of thin paper, and collapsed like dominoes.
In just less than ten seconds, the entire Raiden family lost more than half of its combat power, and many more were buried under the ruins of the houses.
The blazing flames mercilessly plundered lives, as cruel as a natural disaster, but Lei Dian Lingyi knew clearly that it was an attack by evil beasts from Takama-ga-hara... Somehow it had escaped Yuan Yuesheng's space teleportation, which was not good news in any sense.
The attacker was at least a terrifying opponent at the level of an Imperial Sword user, which was tantamount to a one-sided massacre for the Raiden family who had no Imperial Sword user.
"Organize the personnel to retreat to Storm Wall!"
"Master, what about you?"
"I'll go draw my sword!"
Lei Dianling turned and left with blood spurting out. There are always some things that are more important than others. If he doesn't do it, no one will do it!
Upon hearing this, none of the guards left. Instead, they supported the weak Lei Dian Lingyi and headed to the house in the corner of the territory, where the only imperial sword of the Lei Dian family was enshrined.
Lei Dian Lingyi does not have the talent to become an imperial swordsman, but this time, even if it means burning his life out, he must buy time for his fellow tribesmen to evacuate.
The cenote within sight was filled with thick smoke and dust, and a terrifying monster gradually emerged from the gray fog, and its roar seemed to be able to shatter one's internal organs.
No one knew what it was. Miserable wailing and crying surrounded his ears. Lei Dianling could only feel his body getting more and more painful, with blood covering his eyes.
"Everyone, please follow me and draw your swords!"
He roared like a lion, rushed through the raging fire, and kicked the door open.
The imperial sword named Ming was still quietly placed in its original place, waiting for the master who could draw it.
The smoke in the tiankeng gradually dissipated, revealing a snake eye shining with green light. The faint light looked towards the hut at the end, and it smelled the dead body of its own kind.
The dark raindrops fell, but they could not put out the fire, instead it made it more intense.
The snake heads pierced through the ground buildings like arrows piercing the clouds, opened their bloody mouths and swallowed the ground together. What's more, eight snake heads rushed out at the same time, reaping people's lives like the god of death.
But there was still lightning that penetrated the flames and blasted towards the eight-headed snake like a strike from the sky.
On a distant hillside, the tiny human grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands, and the deep thunder disintegrated the palm into flesh and blood, and lifted it up with only bones.
“Thunder——”
"Eternal!"
Lei Dian Ling raised his imperial sword, causing a high-level thunder, and his entire body was shattered by the lightning.
He only practiced one kind of sword in his entire life.
His name is Beichen Yidao.
Someone once stood here and drew out the imperial sword that symbolized the former glory of the Raiden family. But in the more distant past, drawing the sword meant protecting, protecting Izumo with lightning.
This knife will be so fast that it will pierce through the sky——
In just a moment, the dark lightning cut off the head of the giant snake. Lei Dian Lingyi's hand was still not put down. He knelt on one knee on the ruins, gradually losing his life.
The other seven heads of the eight-headed snake roared angrily, and their huge bodies trampled over the houses, rushing towards Lei Dian Lingyi's body accompanied by flames.
"Beast!"
Above those two hands, another hand slowly grasped the imperial sword. Everyone knew that grasping it would mean death, but there were always people who still did not hesitate.
Lei Dian Longma was covered in blood. He took the imperial knife from Lei Dian Lingyi with his right hand, looked resolutely at the flying snake head, and roared as he swung the last knife of his life.
Especially for mortals, they can still use their flesh and blood as fuel to strike out with the imperial sword, which can only be used once in a lifetime.
The imperial sword exists in everyone's protective heart.
What shines more than the sunset and end of the world is the unyielding heart in despair.
Everyone can hold the imperial sword, and everyone can become a "savior".
The huge snake head lost control in an instant, its head was cut off by thunder, and it suddenly lost control and smashed into the distance. However, Raiden Ryuma smiled at this time.
He failed to make the imperial sword that would end Takama-ga-hara, but in the end... he raised the imperial sword in his heart.
"Stay alive..."
Lei Dian Long Ma did not let go of the imperial sword in his hand, and the vitality gradually dissipated from his body.
The shadow of the giant snake seemed to be getting closer and closer. When Raiden Ryoma's life was about to come to an end, someone reached out his hand, and following the direction of the light, he saw Mei's cheeks covered with tears.
So he finally let go of the imperial knife in his hand.
"The third one is... [Ming]."
The purple-haired girl murmured softly as she took the imperial sword, tears of blood falling from the corners of her eyes and dripping onto the blade which was gradually turning bright red.
What is passed down from generation to generation in the Raiden family is not only the imperial sword, but also the courage and heart to draw the sword.
At this moment, the inheritance seemed to have completed a closed loop. After three Amber Ages, the imperial sword was finally passed into Mei's hands.
"It can make lightning tear the sky apart--" Mei walked step by step towards the huge figure that seemed to cover the sky. Wherever she passed, thunder fell like rain, and thousands of lightning bolts were drawn to the blade.
"Star Stream Lightning Strike imposes Heavenly Punishment!"
