Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

 "Ugh… Ah… Ohh…"

Countless tiny little lightning snakes exploded in all directions like a beautiful fireworks display, but a deadly one!

The twenty-odd men broke out in screams of agony.

Even though they are all elites with True Nirvana cultivation, under the force of the lightning, their True Kang became weak and defenseless—brittle to the touch!

Once the protective True Kang shattered, their flesh and bones would suffer the piercings of the lightning snakes like fish on the chopping board.

Like a sharp blade, the lightning snakes struck the brains, hearts, and limbs of the twenty men…

After a short while, the cries of suffering and the torturous lightning snakes, came to a stop at the same time.

The bodies of the twenty men were but pieces of burnt flesh! In one attack, they had become twenty cadavers. They could not be any more dead!

Seckill! 

Swish… 

The thousand sword shield scraped across the ground and fell back and left ten earthshattering footprints on the ground. The shield failed to nullify the force brought forth by the lightning.

As the swords dispersed, Yue Changkong and Yue Junmo fell to the ground, rolled over backward a couple of times, raising a cloud of dust before coming to a jerky stop! They laid prone on the ground with their hairs disheveled and their clothes torn—completely battered. The whole place was suddenly filled with a deafening silence!

Out of all of them, Yue Changkong was the strongest but unless one witnessed it, none would ever imagine that he too could be thrashed like that!

This was the result of only one stroke of lighting. If it were to strike a few more times, it would have destroyed Yue Changkong!

"Oh my god… this… How could this be? How… how could that old man have wielded such lethal lightning…?" Yue Junmo said in a trembling voice.

He was still on the ground, shaking uncontrollably.

Yue Changkong was completely disoriented. He had thought that he could take down Bei Xuan Faction without a hitch but before he had even entered the gates, he was already defeated.

If even Yue Changkong's heart was racing, what more the rest of them? They were mortified and eager to get out of this scary place.

"Faction Leader Yue… What should we do now?"

Everyone looked to Yue Changkong. Only the strongest Yue Changkong had the authorization to cease or continue the battle!

 But Yue Changkong could not give them an answer. 

To say that there was no doubt at all in is heart was inaccurate. For him to give up the 5,000 Spiritual Stones was even more painful than death itself. He was afraid to keep going but he was also reluctant to give up.

The fight had come to a standstill.

On the other side, both Jiang Ziya and Feng Qingyang had quieted down. The longer the standstill the better. After all, their mission was to play for time. They did not want their enemies to do something horrible out of extreme stress.

The time passed by and there was only an hour left before sunrise.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you attacking?" 

A golden figure swooped down from the sky. It was Gordon.

"Mr. Gordon, you saw that lightning strike very clearly!" Su Dongruo said, "Just look at Faction Leader Yue… It's not that we don't want to attack… We are afraid to…"

Gordon frowned and said, "All of you here are elites from ancient factions! I'm pretty sure you are quite familiar with formations, right? No matter how powerful is the formation, one would need energy to support it! Once the energy is depleted, the formation will stop working as well!"

"What do you mean?" Yue Changkong asked.

"We will pretend that we are going to attack them with full force to trick them to use up the energy to support that formation! When the lightning strikes, we will retreat! When the lightning is gone, we will attack! If I'm not mistaken, the energy should be depleted after enduring around hundreds of lightning strike! And the formation will stop working after that! Let's not send the rest of our men to die! Let us, the Celestial cultivation elites deal with them!"

All the other men lit up at this.

"What Mr. Gordon said makes sense!"

Yue Changkong said solemnly, "In order to save my son, I was irrational and impulsive. I didn't even think of that!"

Su Dongruo asked hurriedly, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get into action! Hurry up and conquer Bei Xuan Faction!"

Naturally, Zhuang Bihuang did not object but nodded in agreement. "Let's tear down Bei Xuan Faction! Eradicate Chen Xiaobei!"

"Let's go!"

Gordon waved his arm and moved his wings to charge at the formation.

Yue Changkong, Zhuang Bihuang, and Su Dongruo came up with their full force to attack Bei Xuan Faction as well. It was a rare scene that four elites with Celestial cultivation worked together to defeat their enemy!

"Chen Xiaobei come and show your face! Or else, even the powerful lightning formation cannot protect you!"

The moment Gordon approached them, a Wind Celestial Phenomenon was triggered!

Whooo…

Whooo…

Whooo… 

At the whistle of the wind, all the trees and grass bent under its force. Even the pebbles rolled away. Then a gray flurry of air mushroomed, gyrating. Anyone could see that a tornado was forming.

"What a frightening celestial phenomenon! If an ordinary man is sucked into that tornado, all of his bones will be broken by the powerful whirl!"

 "What's scarier is that the wind cuts like a knife! It can tear a person into a million pieces of minced meat!"

"Brother Feng! Go on and stop them! If that tornado comes over, Bei Xuan Faction will be destroyed!"

Everyone on Bei Xuan Faction's side was jumping out of their skins. In the face of such a powerful force, they simply could not sit still.

But Feng Qingyang did nothing. He merely looked at Jiang Ziya.

"Zhao Ritian! Bind that Blood Descendant!" Jiang Ziya signaled.

"I've been waiting for you to say that!"

Zhao Ritian focused his vision, raised his arm and tossed the Deity Binding Rope into the sky—like a golden dragon flew to Gordon at lightning speed.

"What… What is this thing…?"

 Gordon panicked. He had wanted to dodge but he could not seem to find the energy!

The Deity Binding Rope constricted around his body, swaddling him in a tight grip.

Bam!

Every ounce of energy had escaped Gordon and he fell from the sky and his the ground with a loud thud. All his True Qi was sealed in his body and he had lost the ability to continue to fight anymore even if he was an elite with Celestial cultivation!

The most exciting part was his fangs, claws, and golden wings were forced back into his body and returned to human form!

 "What… What is happening?"

Gordon looked like a toad that had been trampled on by a cow. His eyes bulged from their sockets and his mouth was opened so wide it could fit an entire fist!

On the other hand, the other three elites with Celestial cultivation were bewildered. They were frozen in place, too petrified to take another step toward Bei Xuan Faction!
