The huge beast was strong and fierce, yet the Third Elder's attack had left many wounds and scars on its skin.
"The beast is going to risk its life. We must make the Sanguinary Thunder-devouring Array more powerful!"
Knowing that once the main body of the thunder unicorn was revealed, it would be followed by a desperate counterattack, the Third Elder yelled out to remind his companions.
A startled look flashed on the faces of the other four cultivators from the Thunder Sect when they heard the words of Adrian. The next moment, they plucked several elixirs from their pockets and thrust them into their mouths to replenish their vital energy.
With the help of the elixirs that they swallowed, more powerful vital energy was released and it got added into the four huge bloody webs.
With huge amount of energy surging through them, the four huge bloody webs rolled and flew over to the thunder unicorn, aiming to envelope it entirely. The air around the webs was stirring and permeating with the thick smell of blood.
"Oh beast, you are dead today! This is the consequence of your refusal to hand over the Thunder Elixir!"
A huge bow was formed between his hands as Adrian snapped. Urged by his vital energy force, a gigantic arrow made of pure vital energy force took shape and stretched itself across the bow. He drew the arrow to its full range and let it go.
With a hissing sound the arrow pierced the vault of heaven and darted towards the huge thunder unicorn. It was glistening like a flying grey torch. The colorful fletching attached to the end of the large arrow looked like a rainbow in the sky.
The huge arrow sent cold shivers down the beast's spine. Stamping its four stump-like hooves against the void beneath, its massive body moved one meter sideways in an instant.
But the situation was beyond the unicorn's expectation. The huge arrow made of vital energy force made a shift in the direction of its flight and zeroed in on the unicorn. Upon that, its movement had been restricted by the overwhelming power of the Sanguinary Thunder-devouring Array. Dodging or changing position to escape was almost impossible.
The grey lights and bright fletching glittered as the large arrow kept approaching the thunder unicorn. It was accompanied with an overwhelming power that could destroy anything in its way like splitting bamboo. With a soft sound of the arrowhead piercing flesh, the huge arrow made of vital energy force struck the thunder unicorn's back, breaking its shell up. Tiny streams of silver blood seeped out from the wound on the back, as one of its muscles exploded, accompanied by a rain of blood.
"Howl!"
The heavy blow made its eyes go crimson. Accompanied by a wild roar, the dazzling Thunder Elixir approximately the size of a human head flew out when it opened its large mouth.
Suddenly, the Thunder Elixir soared up into the sky and made its way to the black clouds that had been formed some time ago. It left all the men present there confused.
Boom!
With the rise of the Thunder Elixir, a hundred flashes of lightning, as thick as barrel, burst out from multiple layers of thick clouds.
It filled the entire canopy of the sky with the sound of thundering that echoed for a long time.
All of a sudden, those barrel-shaped lightning poured down from the sky and enveloped the area where the thunder unicorn and the five men from the Thunder Sect stood. The lightning flashes possessed a raging force that could destroy everything that was present in its way.
Instantly the space within the diameter of a thousand miles was lit up. It became so bright that even objects as tiny as trees, grass blades, stones or grains of sand were clearly visible.
"Shit! The beast has incurred lightning to end up in common ruin with us. Run!"
Looking closely at the hundreds of grand barrel-shaped lightning flashes in the sky, Adrian finally understood what happened and called out to his fellowmen.
At the same time, he also scurried off to the distance like a bolt of grey lightning.
On seeing him, the other men from the Thunder Sect urged their bodily movement skill to run as fast as their feet could carry them. They left the four bloody huge webs of the Sanguinary Thunder-devouring Array behind as saving their own lives was the top priority now.
But it was too late!
The lightning was faster than the five men. Thus, fleeing to save their lives was just a dream for them!
After a rumbling thunder, all of them were bombarded and struck by lightning.
The weaker ones in the group of the Imperial Realm, like Elder Zhou and Xie and the other two, were dead instantly. Their bodies turned into fine powder of flesh and blood.
Adrian suffered the strikes of two barrel-shaped lightning, which seared his body to a pile of heavily smoking human-shape coke.
His mighty strength saved his life and he struggled hard. The continuous two flashes of lightning struck him badly but he still took faint breaths of life.
The thunder unicorn was not excluded from the attack of the lightning. Its huge body too suffered from three or four strikes of lightning.
Half of its flesh had been destroyed, exposing the huge white skeleton under those parts.
Silver blood splattered down from the sky as if there was a silver downpour.
Like Adrian, it too was seriously injured, but still held onto its last breath.
"Hmm, you low-down human! You will never prevail. I prefer to destroy my Thunder Elixir rather than give it to you."
Though on the verge of death, the thunder unicorn struggled to roar. Its voice was as feeble as thread. It could break anytime.
Then it took a stumbling whirl and staggered to the distance.
Only Adrian was left out of the five who belonged to the Thunder Sect.
Adrian knew that the thunder unicorn was more dead than alive. The thought of killing it crept into his mind.
But a deep feeling of frailty and dizziness started to run through his veins instantly, and he had to let go of that thought.
There was a bitter smile on his face. He knew he would die if he forced himself to attack.
Helplessly, he watched as the thunder unicorn struggled to leave that place.
Shaking his head sadly, Adrian got down to the ground and sat with his knees crossed. He had to cure his wounds.
