Rebirth: City Sovereign

"Two to three!"    

When Lu Qingshan flew out of the arena, the old Heavenly Master on the pillar announced.    

Lu Qingshan fell to the ground and grabbed his chest with his right hand, feeling the pain of his body being eaten by millions of poisonous bugs.    

Ah!    

The left side of his face was kicked by Jin's right leg. A large amount of bruises covered half of Lu Qingshan's handsome face, and blood flowed out from his nose and mouth along with it. He gritted his teeth, and agonized howls kept coming out from his mouth.    

Zhang Fann quickly ran over to his side and lifted him up, only to discover that Lu Qingshan had already fainted.    

Including the now sober Ye Lee, the members of Chinese Team gathered around Lu Qingshan, their faces full of confusion.    

"How did he get hurt? You clearly fought with that captain just now and there was a chance. "    

Ye Lee asked anxiously, but he was not good at treatment, inspection and the like, so he could only sit by the side, other than anxious, he could not help at all.    

"I don't know."    

Zhang Fann's answer was very direct, he never thought that Lu Qingshan would be fine, and actually end up like this. Countless of Gu worms flew out from Miao Ya'er's sleeves and entered Lu Qingshan's body to check.    

Suddenly, Miao Ya'er's face darkened, and started to cough violently. She used her hand to cover her mouth, and in between her fingers, a trickle of blood slowly flowed out.    

As for the Healing Gu worms that were connected to Miao Ya'er, they slowly fell down from Lu Qingshan's ears, nose and other places. They struggled on the ground for a bit before they stopped moving and died just like that.    

"He was poisoned."    

Miao Ya'er wiped the blood off her mouth with the back of her hand and said slowly.    

"It's a poison that only exists in the deep sea."    

"Can it be cured?"    

Zhang Fann immediately asked.    

Miao Ya'er only shook her head.    

"This won't do, my Gu is also unable to resist the poison. Once it comes in contact with the areas in his body contaminated by the poison, it will immediately die."    

"I'm afraid, only the person who administered the poison can cure it."    

This time, the members and Pang Baozong's expressions became even more unsightly. Especially Zhang Fann. As the last hope of his Chinese Team, he deeply furrowed his brows.    

In his eyes, Jin didn't even try to poison Lu Qingshan at all, he was just using his powers to fight with Lu Qingshan. If the wave technique was hiding poison, Lu Qingshan should also have frozen Jin's technique, he shouldn't have been poisoned.    

So, how in the world did gold poison it?    

Zhang Fann closed his eyes and seized the time to think back to the fight between Lu Qingshan and Jin.    

The poison of gold was fatal, if Zhang Fann somehow got hit by the poison of gold, he would definitely lose the ability to fight in the same instant as Lu Qingshan. If one did not want to understand the methods of using the poison, it was very possible that Chinese Team would stop at this point in time.    

But after an hour passed, Zhang Fann still could not think of a reasonable explanation.    

"Please enter the stage, contestants!"    

Hearing the old Heavenly Master say this, the first to react were Ye Lee, Miao Ya'er and the rest.    

They raised their heads and didn't speak. They pursed their lips and looked at Zhang Fann nervously, the anxiety and unease in their eyes mixed together.    

Using his back to bear through all this, Zhang Fann opened his eyes and stood up from his seat. He looked at Jin, who was waiting impatiently, and slowly walked over to the competition grounds.    

His eyes shone with pure white lightning.    

"Oh, the Thunder Arts, right?"    

Jin had never returned to his human form, he looked up and down at Zhang Fann who was wearing his robes with his sharp and gold eyes, and spoke hoarsely.    

"I hope you can play with me for a while longer. Don't be too bored."    

Zhang Fann did not speak. Both his hands opened and his five fingers came together as two thunderbolts from his palm converged at the center of his palm.    

"The match begins!"    

The moment the old Heavenly Master opened her mouth, Jin immediately rushed towards Zhang Fann.    

"Hahahaha!"    

His speed could not be considered fast, but Zhang Fann could feel a strong pressure. He reached out his hands, and two pale white Thunder Palms shot out from the ground, grabbing onto Jin's body.    

BOOM!    

The white bolt of lightning reached the bottom of Jin's feet, all the way to his chest, but Jin paid it no heed.    

"How boring!"    

He let out an explosive shout, and his body exploded with dark blue Fa Li like the waves of the ocean, directly scattering the two palm lightning bolts.    

"If you know how to use the Thunder Arts, then use the move that you're most proficient in!"    

"Whether it's the Soul Sealing Thunder Formation or the Ten Thousand Lightning Prison, hurry up and use them all!"    

Zhang Fann's face darkened, and dozens of talismans flew out from his sleeves, blocking in front of him.    

"Hah!"    

Accompanied by a loud shout, an electric light flashed in Zhang Fann's eyes. The pale white lightning that was emanating from his body to the talismans, those talismans with complicated incantations on them shot straight towards Jin Fei.    

"Not enough!"    

Jin just casually waved his hand and all the talismans exploded in midair.    

Boom boom boom!    

Jin was at the center of the explosion, but he did not slow down at all as he charged straight ahead.    

Zhang Fann clenched his teeth, and his feet surged with lightning. He jumped up high, wanting to land behind Jin's back, but Jin immediately turned around and stopped, his entire body shooting out like a cannonball!    

"Keep your distance from me? Hua Gou, what are you afraid of! "    

Jin's body closed in on Zhang Fann within 0.1 seconds. He laughed loudly and hooted, spinning his body in the air and opening up his sharp fingers to take a look at Zhang Fann's chest.    

Zhang Fann was shocked, two golden runes flew out from his sleeves and floated on his chest.    

BOOM!    

When the sharp claw collided with the talisman, it released a loud buzzing sound, and blazing white lightning flashed in the air.    

Zhang Fann landed on the ground in a slightly sorry state. He bent his knees to cushion the impact of the fall, rolled twice on the ground, and then stood up.    

Being hit by the aftermath of the explosion, a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of Zhang Fann's mouth.    

As for Jin, he simply stood in the air, looking down at Zhang Fann who was on the ground with disdain.    

"How boring."    

"You're afraid of being poisoned, so you kept your distance from me. Is that all you're capable of?"    

Hearing Jin's words, Zhang Fann was slightly stunned for a moment before he slowly calmed down.    

"You're right."    

Following his words, talismans flew out from his sleeves and circled around his body, forming circle after circle, with Zhang Fann at the center.    

"I was indeed too cautious. Worried that I would be poisoned, I kept on keeping my distance from you, humiliating my dignity under the Heavenly Master Dao."    

"Then I'll do my best, and let you see my Heavenly Master Dao's Supreme Thunder Arts!"    

The talisman slowly approached Zhang Fann and stuck onto his body. It released intense white lightning that enveloped Zhang Fann within. As his body was covered by the white lightning, Zhang Fann's eyes almost turned pale white.    

The ground they stepped on was shattered by the tyrannical lightning, and the surrounding air started to emit sizzling black smoke.    

This was the skill that Zhang Fann had thought of after seeing Zhang Ling's [Lightning Sovereign's Possession]. Zhang Ling carved the runes onto his body, fusing his body with the Thunder Arts.    

Different from Zhang Ling, the naturally talented Zhang Fann could control tens of times more talismans than Zhang Ling, so he completely covered his own body with the talisman and attaching the Thunder Arts onto it also achieved the same effect as Lei Zun.    

The only difference was that Zhang Fann's technique still used the talisman as a medium, and wouldn't harm his body.    

In other words, the Thunder Arts that Zhang Fann was using right now without any side effects was what Lei Zun should have had. This was also the Thunder Arts that could only be achieved by Zhang Fann who could control tens of thousands of talismans at the same time.    

It was the completed version of the Possession Thunder Sovereign!    

Jin frowned, looking at the ground, he could barely make out a white figure, covered in the energy of the Thunder Arts. Not only his pupils, even Zhang Fann's hair had turned white.    

The look of disdain on Jin's face had long since disappeared. He opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice.    

"Flying Sword sacred art, dual cultivation of martial arts, one with human and lightning."    

"This year's Chinese Team is truly an eye-opener."    

Dong!    

Zhang Fann stepped on the ground and rose into the air, transforming into a white bolt of lightning as he flew towards Jin Wu!    

Jin naturally didn't dodge. His whole body was covered in dark blue Fa Li. His two hands had a total of ten sharp claws, as if he wanted to pierce through the white lightning.    

Dong dong dong dong dong!    

"Ya!"    

Miao Ya'er screamed as she closed her eyes tightly and covered her ears.    

and Pang Baozong raised their heads and nervously looked at the two people in the sky, who were no longer in human forms, fighting at a distance.    

"Good luck."    

Ye Lee said nervously as he clenched his fists and placed them on his knees.    

Zhang Fann used both of his hands to continuously block Jin's attacks from all directions.    

Elbow strike!    

Knee strike!    

Stinger!    

Side kick!    

Jin's attacks were like those of a gangster, all sorts of attacks attacking from all directions from the blind spots on Zhang Fann's body. Zhang Fann activated his Fa Li and poured all his Fa Li into his body to block every single attack.    

"Hahahaha!" "Awesome!"    

Jin pulled his body apart, stretching his arms backwards. The claws on his right hand formed a seal as he smashed towards Zhang Fann's chest.    

Naturally, Zhang Fann would not let Jin Cheng succeed, he raised his left hand and welcomed Jin's right hand.    

Just as their palms were about to collide, Zhang Fann's body suddenly paused, and then, a voice came from afar.    

"Zhang Fann, pay attention to your palm."    

Zhang Fann was stunned for a thousandth of a second. Then, he attached the Thunder Arts to his own eyeball, increasing his eyesight to tens of thousands of times that of a normal person's, and looked towards Jin's palm.    

On his golden palm, which was magnified tens of thousands of times, there were countless tiny black meat thorns!    

Zhang Fann was shocked. He immediately retracted his left hand, rotated his body in the air, and dodged Jin's palm strike. Then, he stomped on Jin's abdomen, sending him flying to the ground.    

Jin adjusted his body in the air and landed gently. Looking at Zhang Fann who was floating in the air, his fish eyes suddenly opened, and he spoke with an exceptionally shocked tone.    

"You found out?"
