Chapter 218: Herculean Strength Works Miracle

“Ss… Retreat, retreat quickly.”

“Help the ladies.”

Lin Yao, who had gone all out, was too terrifying. The outburst of thunder and lightning coming from the Thunderbolt Mark on his forehead could seemingly destroy everything, not to mention that he was also unleashing them all over his body.

The crackling thunder and lightning danced wildly like a snake and lashed out at every surrounding item like a whip. However, this whip was too terrifying. It could shatter the sundries, and even the walls couldn’t escape the fate of destruction. Some pipes weren’t spared either.

A massive amount of water burst from the broken pipes, but this didn’t hinder Lin Yao. Under his control, the water currents merged into the tornado like a twisted dragon.

At that moment, the tornado was a convoluted mass. The combination of water, wind, smoke, flames, debris, and all kinds of other things made the tornado look extremely splendorous.

However, the continuous thunderbolts were still the most splendorous aspect. Bolts of lightning shot into the tornado, turning the horrifying tornado into an electrical one. Not a trace of the surrounding smoke escaped, as the tornado had sucked up all of it.

Soon, the massive water currents extinguished the flames in the tornado, enabling the thunder and lightning to last longer. On the other hand, lightning and thunderbolts continued to bombard the smoke freak and everything else in the tornado.

30 seconds later, Lin Yao, who was flashing with electric light, landed from the air. The tornado, which was composed of water, wind, smoke, fire, and debris, had also collapsed and dispersed.

By then, only water was left in it. The lightning had already destroyed all the smoke, fire, debris, and everything else.

“Cool!”

After violently destroying everything with massive thunder and lightning, Lin Yao felt extremely great. It was as if he had vented out all his frustration during this battle. In fact, it felt somewhat addictive.

However, everyone else who was with him was huddled together and shivering. The surge of electric currents had terrified them.

“Don’t be like this. I have been controlling it, so it can’t hurt you. Besides, my Heavenly Thunder is very effective when it comes to dealing with evil spirits. It has a normal lethality against humans. Qin Xue and the others may die, but you guys will be alright… At most, you’ll be electrocuted and become paralyzed or suffer from hemiplegia. If your brains are electrocuted, you’ll become idiots.

“Anyway, if you’re not that down on your luck, the chances of you dying are not high.”

“That is miserable enough, okay?”

Lin Yao’s words made the rest of the group distance themselves even more from him. Only Cui Huo, who was taking care of his teammate, didn’t move. However, the two of them were also shivering.

The raging, violent thunder and lightning that had ravaged everything had freaked them out.

However, after this fright, Cui Huo soon thought of something. Holding his teammate, his eyes lit up, he ran toward Lin Yao.

Unfortunately, he made a mistake because of his anxiety.

Halfway through his run, he mixed up the coordination of his feet due to the confusion in the disordered space and fell down directly. He widened his eyes.

“Oh no!”

Fortunately, Lin Yao noticed this and used the wind to hold onto his teammate’s body.

However, after pulling the man to his front and taking a closer look, Lin Yao frowned badly. This man was in very bad condition. His body surface was seemingly wrapped in smoke and flames. There were burn injuries everywhere, and his face looked worse. The combination of the scorched body tissue and dried blood was like unquenched volcanic ash, and it looked extremely menacing and terrifying.

This was only his external injury. His internal injuries were even worse. All his internal organs had been burnt. As he was a silver warlord who had evolved multiple times, he was more resilient than ordinary people. Otherwise, he would have died long ago, though he could only last for a while longer now.

“Mr. Lin Yao, please help him, please help him. You are a genius, so you should have a life-saving healing potion, right? I will use all my money to buy your life-saving potion.”

Out of guilt, Cui Huo wanted to make amends by saving his teammate’s life. However, Lin Yao’s response made him feel utterly despaired.

“As far as healing potions are concerned, I only have No. 7 Holy Water.”

As soon as he said this, everyone sighed in their hearts. The holy water had healing effects, but the fighter’s injuries were too serious, so only an expensive life-saving potion could save him.

“My condolences. Perhaps dying on the battlefield is the best fate for fighters like us…”

Officer Yang Zheng wanted to comfort Cui Huo, but while he was speaking, he couldn’t help turning around and then staring at Lin Yao with a dumbstruck expression.

“How can it be?”

Besides him, Cui Huo, policewoman Lin Ru, as well as the two captains, had also turned their heads to him.

Lin Yao had astonished them greatly today, and they felt that they would no longer feel stunned no matter what Lin Yao did now.

However, at that moment, they couldn’t help but gasp upon seeing Lin Yao’s transformation.

One could not blame them for this. The changes in his body were once again astounding.

At that moment, the Thunderbolt Mark on his forehead was still shining, and the faint, lingering aura of thunder and lighting was still terrifying.

In addition to thunder and lightning, a holy, warm force was rising from his body.

The source of the force was Lin Yao’s chest. Even through the special black combat suit, the group of fighters could sense the sun pattern on his chest lighting up.

The shining sun pattern made the holy aura emitted by Lin Yao more and more magnificent. This aura dispelled the last trace of smoke and haze on this story and also awakened the group of fighters from their feelings of oppression, fear, and other negative emotions.

Aside from dispelling the negative aura, the spreading light also brought them hope, determination, and most importantly, courage, making them feel fearless.

Now, even in the presence of a huge dragon or a catastrophic-level evil spirit, young Lin Ru and Qin Xue would dare proclaim that they had nothing to fear.

This magnificent force was, of course, the power of the holy light given to Lin Yao by the Celestial Tree. The holy water alone was unable to heal the fighter’s injuries, but things would be different thanks to the power of light.

After the Celestial Tree had advanced to the gold level, Lin Yao had comprehended the Lord of Light, and the introduction of this combat skill was the following: The host is close to light and favored by the angel, as well as the manifestation of the angel in the mortal world. As such, when the host attains the Lord of Light hypostasis, he can manipulate the surrounding light elements to make them act according to his will. In the meantime, the host can temporarily bestow their power of light upon others in the domain affected by the host.

According to the description of the Lord of Light, aside from manipulating the surrounding light elements, Lin Yao could also bestow his power of light to others. This was very famous in the One God Religion and was also known as a ‘blessing’.

Of course, as Lin Yao’s level was too low, this form of blessing was not permanent. Furthermore, it needed to be within Lin Yao’s surroundings and in the range of the Lord of Light.

Nevertheless, the blessing ability was enough for Lin Yao to deal with the current situation.

With his mind, Lin Yao instructed the surrounding power of light emitted from his body to gather toward the burnt fighter. A large amount of power of light gathered to heal his injuries, purifying the power of black smoke, flames, and the mist remaining in his body.

Of course, the fighter wouldn’t be able to survive if that was all he did. This was just the basic function of the power of light. As one of the core skills of the One God Religion, a blessing was not that simple.

Following the instincts of the unseen forces, Lin Yao communicated with the Celestial Tree in his Sea of Consciousness. After a breath of time, the power of light around him rapidly changed and transformed into the shape of a big tree.

The big tree was silvery-white in color, as if it was a silver cast, and exuded an air of nobility.

At the same time, the silvery-white tree looked ancient and holy and had luxuriant branches and leaves. There was also a small sun hanging like a fruit among the many branches and leaves, exuding a sacred and holy aura.

The appearance of the phantom of the sacred tree amplified Lin Yao’s aura of light and made the people around him feel even more at ease. A moment later, a silver leaf fell from the sacred tree and imprinted itself on the glabella of the burnt fighter.

The leaf was transformed by light and quickly disappeared from the fighter’s glabella. As the leaf merged with the glabella, Lin Yao felt like he had established a connection with the fighter. Lin Yao could perceive a surge of power from the same source, albeit weaker, in the fighter’s body.

‘This is… the Armored Body Of Light!

‘This talent can actually be bestowed! Unfortunately… it is just a temporary change. The Armored Body Of Light is relying on the power of the silver leaf now. When the power of the leaf becomes exhausted, this talent will disappear. Moreover, this Armored Body Of Light is only at LV3 and is too weak.’

This was not the only thing Lin Yao was embarrassed about. Although the fallen silver leaf didn’t weaken Lin Yao’s Armored Body Of Light, the Armored Body Of Light needed to absorb a lot of sunlight in order to be effective. It was still fine during the day, as there was enough sunlight for them to absorb, but it was now the middle of the night, and they were in the mirror space. There wasn’t a trace of sunlight, which made this talent almost useless.

One did not do things halfway when helping others. In the end, Lin Yao emitted a huge amount of sunlight toward the fighter to activate the characteristics of the Armored Body Of Light.

Lin Yao felt that this blessing talent was weak, but this was not the case at all.

The Armored Body Of Light contained the Body of Light, Light Healing, Light Adjustment, Light Purification, and so on.

Body of Light gave him a stronger physique, Light Purification quickly melted down the evil forces remaining in his body, Light Healing healed his injuries from the cells, and Light Adjustment was optimizing his body.

At the same time, the Armored Body Of Light also made his body more compatible with light.

Lin Yao, who didn’t want to exhaust too much of his powers, poured a bottle of No. 7 Holy Water into the mouth of the burnt soldier.

This holy water contained a large amount of the power of holy light, which had been processed. Although this power could be absorbed by humans, most people could only absorb one-third or even less of it.

However, almost all the power in the holy water was perfectly absorbed by the burnt warrior.

As he absorbed the huge amount of power of light, his body was also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the evil aura had been eliminated, his wounds healed. Some of his scorched skin even fell off, and tender and fair skin reappeared.

This was a miraculous scene that made the eyes of Lin Ru, Yang Zheng, and the two soldiers next to him almost pop.

“I didn’t know the effect of the No.7 Holy Water was so good that it could heal fatal injuries!”

“To hell with the holy water. It’s that leaf. This seems to be the blessing ability of the One God Religion.”

Regardless of their abilities, the two soldiers and the armed policeman were staring at Lin Yao with scorching, enthusiastic gazes.

In this era, both the military and the armed police were fighting battles constantly, and there would inevitably be casualties in such life-and-death situations.

Although the country would do its utmost to save them and the soldiers also carried first-aid kits when they were out on missions, most of the first-aid kits could only cure minor injuries. Most people who incurred serious injuries during a battle would die.

Furthermore, these were not the only concerns of the soldiers. The various pollution abilities of the freaks were also a headache for the soldiers.

In the past, when their comrades were severely wounded, these people used to only helplessly watch them die. Although they were anxious to help, they didn’t have the ability to do so. But now, they were seeing some hope.

“That big tree branch has a lot of leaves, and the power of holy light is very powerful. If we can get him into our team, how many fewer casualties will there be?”

Not everyone needed Lin Yao’s rescue. The country’s first-aid kit could save the lives of people with minor or even moderate injuries. Only seriously injured individuals would need Lin Yao’s help because they were dying.

In the opinion of the experienced Yang Zheng, Lin Yao wouldn’t even need to heal severely wounded people completely. He’d just need to stabilize their condition and keep them alive.

They would survive after being sent to the hospital.

This would exhaust less of Lin Yao’s power, and he could then stabilize the injuries of hundreds of people per battle.

‘This is only for the time being, while he is a beginner warlord. According to the information, it is difficult for him to become a king, albeit effortless for him to become a golden warlord or titled warlord. Then, he alone will be able to stabilize the injuries of tens of thousands of severely wounded soldiers.’

After a large-scale battle, it was unknown if there would be tens of thousands of serious casualties. In other words, if Lin Yao was around, one would be able to survive so long as he was not killed on the spot during the battle.

This was of great significance. At least one-seventh or even one-fifth of the casualties of the military or the police would not die on the spot in battle.

They died because they had no access to treatment for their serious injuries on the battlefield or in mysterious lands.

‘The wounds caused by freaks are very difficult to heal and are hindered by some powers. Therefore, our first-aid kit is not very useful. But if Lin Yao is around, his power of light can purify all of this.’

‘We must get him to join the military. With him, we will have no worries while fighting in the future.’

‘Powerful strength, amazing detection ability, and superb healing ability. This genius is only second to the king seedling… This won’t do. I have to inform the police station. We must not let this genius go.’

At that moment, Lin Yao was unaware that, in comparison to his combat power, the military and the armed police valued his healing ability more. They were even willing to pay a higher price to recruit him.

This might seem strange, but it was, in fact, normal when one thought about it. Although Lin Yao had a strong combat power, China had no shortage of geniuses and had many people with strong combat power. In contrast, there were relatively fewer people with outstanding healing abilities.

Among these people, even fewer could heal someone who was dying.

In addition, there was another merit to recruiting Lin Yao. He could follow the army to a battle and wouldn’t require much protection from others, as he was strong enough.

Who would not like such a nanny?

Oblivious to the scorching gazes of the military and the armed police, Lin Yao looked around after reviving the seriously wounded soldier who was on the brink of death. The initially hesitant look in his eyes soon became resolute.

“Wait here for a moment, everyone. I’ll be back in a minute.”

After he said that, he proceeded to leave this place but was held back by someone after taking a few steps.

“Are you going to deal with the evil spirits here?”

“Yes.”

“There’s no need to. The police will be here very soon. We can just wait here.”

“That’s too passive. You’ve also said these evil spirits have strange and mysterious abilities. The police will have to spend a lot of time finding this place. I’ll rather take the initiative to attack than let them attack us in the meantime.”

His response convinced Yang Zheng. Without the least bit of hesitation, the few of them and Cui Huo said on their own accord, “We will go with you.”

“No. You guys stay here.”

“We can help one another out if we go together.”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yao opened his mouth and said with a somewhat arrogant look in his eyes. “Stay here. You guys won’t be of much help. You’ll only drag me down.”

These words were very annoying, but the few of them understood Lin Yao’s thoughts and knew he’d deliberately said that because he didn’t want them to go with him.

As a result, no one felt offended.

At the thought of the gap in their strengths, they had no choice but to admit that they really hadn’t helped much in this mirror space with the left-right reversal.

“I get what you mean. Be careful.”

“Don’t worry. I wouldn’t joke with my life.”

After saying this, Lin Yao bid farewell to Police Officer Yang Zheng and the others. He told them to rest on this floor, which had been burnt by flames and bombarded by gales, thunder, and lightning.

Lin Yao then flapped the Tempest Wings on his back and rushed toward the top floor at lighting speed.

The moment he was some distance away from Police Officer Yang Zheng and the group, there was an outburst of dazzling electric light from his body once again.

Buzz, buzz.

The dazzling electric light circled Lin Yao and then spread several meters around him.

Within this range, flashing thunder and lightning lashed rampantly at the walls and doors of the rooms in its path like a whip.

The doors were made of wood and couldn’t withstand the ‘lightning whip’ at all, and after the doors were broken, the ability that blocked Lin Yao’s detection would disappear without a trace. The traces of the evil spirits and servant corpses would then appear in front of Lin Yao.

Lin Yao did not stand on ceremony one bit. With one gaze from him, lightning and thunder would appear on top of those servant corpses’ heads.

Boom!

As the striking, bright light flashed, the servant corpses would be hit and destroyed by Heavenly Thunder.

Boom, boom, boom. As Lin Yao acted too fast and summoned too much Heavenly Thunder, booming sounds of explosion were heard continuously, almost without a moment of rest.

This was perceived by the rest of the group, who was on the lower floor, and they couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing Lin Yao’s violence.

However, some of them were also worried. Lin Yao had saved his teammate, so Cui Huo thought very highly of Lin Yao and didn’t want anything bad to happen to him. He was quite worried at that moment. “Can his energy keep up with this momentum?”

He wasn’t the only one who was worried. Police Officer Yang Zheng and the two military officers felt the same way.

Although Lin Yao had said he had a power supply, he was producing too much powerful thunder and lightning.

Lin Yao was unaware of their concern. If he were to know this, he would tell them that their worry regarding consumption was uncalled for.

The thunder and lightning he made might seem terrifying, but he had the Thunderbolt Mark. This mark enabled Lin Yao to master a trace of the law of thunder and lightning. Although there was only a trace of it, a law was a law. It was a very huge bonus for Lin Yao. With the help of the Thunderbolt Mark, the prowess of the Heavenly Thunder unleashed by Lin Yao would increase by 30%, and his consumption would decrease by 30%. With this addition and subtraction, Lin Yao’s consumption was actually not as terrifying as it seemed.

At the same time, while Lin Yao was releasing Heavenly Thunder, he had wrapped the cord of the portable battery on his back around his wrist. This allowed the electric current to continue to transmit inside of his body, supplementing his consumption.

Moreover, Lin Yao had turned the intensity of the transmission current to the maximum.

Ordinary people, even those who had thunder talent, wouldn’t dare not do this. This was because they would be injured by the transmission of a high-intensity electric current into their bodies.

But Lin Yao was not afraid at all. One just had to think about his daily encounters. He would have at least a few hours of in-depth electric current every day, and the current during the development was much stronger than it was now.

Lin Yao was a professional when it came to being electrocuted.

‘But I can’t stop feeling that this is very sorrowful.’

As he was unafraid of being electrocuted, a huge amount of electricity was pouring into his body. Coupled with the reduction of the consumption due to the Thunderbolt Mark, Lin Yao was actually not consuming that much electricity and vital energy when he was attacking.

In addition, the stress on his mental strength was negligible. Only meticulous operations and brain racking would tire the mental strength out. Nevertheless, what Lin Yao was doing currently was not that hard or sophisticated.

After encountering the evil spirits, he just kept going on a killing spree by releasing the power of thunder and lightning in his body.

This kind of manipulation didn’t take much effort. Of course, it would be a waste of energy if ordinary people were to do this, as they wouldn’t be able to kill those evil spirits at all.

However, he was different. By relying on the Heavenly Thunder’s restrictions on freaks, the portable energy storage crystal, and the energy storage batteries he carried, Lin Yao crushed the evil spirits in a crude way.

‘Sure enough, herculean strength works miracles! As long as my thunder and lightning are strong enough, no evil spirits can threaten me.’

Buzz, buzz.

Boom!
