Chương 42: Have You Lost Your Mind?!

Blood was gushing from the wounds inflicted on the Demonic bull's body.

Ku Wang had looked away from the scene before him but Zhu Long didn't, he never flinched by the scene before him. There was only one thought in his mind, Kill the beast!

Although he wasn't sure, Zhu Long knew that deep in his mind, Old Yang had manipulated his thinking to create that goal. Otherwise, how could Zhu Long's emotions change out of nowhere into being heartless enough to not even flinch at seeing such a gruesome scene.

BANG

Another lightning strike hit the Demonic bull. But this time, the strike seemed to be a lot weaker, it's power was closer to that of the initial strikes. Zhu Long was surprised to see that as he had expected to see the tribulation becoming more powerful as time went by, but that wasn't the case at all!

'Listen well kid, do you trust me?' Old yang's serious voice resonated within Zhu Long's mind. He seemed to be extremely serious at the moment which caught Zhu Long off guard. ZHu Long thought for some while and said within his mind,'If it wasn't for Old Yang for helping me, I'm sure that I still would have been the weak Zhu Long, un able to do anything. Everything I've been able to do since I've gotten to the South continent is all due to your help…. I have complete faith in you.." Zhu Long said happily. There was a rare warm smile on his face. It seemed like everything ZHu Long had said to Old Yang was nothing but the truth.

Old Yang smiled within ZHu Long's spiritual word and said,"Haha! Good lad! If you trust me then.. I want you to leap towards the Demonic Bull before the next tribulation strike…. Get as close as you can!"

Zhu Long felt like he was hit with a thousand tonnes of force out of nowhere. He had seen the power of the tribulation thunders and was sure that he couldn't survive the initial strikes but Old Yang had just old him to get hit by the tribulation! That was absolute madness!

Zhu Long thought for a few seconds,'Old Yang, are you sure about this?' He asked while hesitating. Zhu Long was astonished by Old Yang's words to the point of going back on his words and asking if Old Yang was sure.

Old Yang harshly said,'I thought you said that you had complete faith in me! What? Do you not try to trust me now? I didn't think that you were the type to go back on your own words, I am disappointed.'

Zhu Long smiled wryly when he heard Old Yang's harsh tone. He was true, after saying something, Zhu Long would have never gone back on his words but this time, It was different. It was something that would gamble Zhu Long's life.

Just as Zhu Long was about to say something, Old Yang yelled within the spirit words,'I don't have enough energy to argue with you. Just trust my words and get within the strike distance of the Next tribulation strike and hurry! You don't have much time.' It seemed like Old Yang was in a hurry.

This time, Zhu Long thought of nothing but following Old Yang's orders. He was a man who kept his words, this time, even if it would cost his life, Zhu Long would do it.

Ku Wang had nothing but shock on his face when he saw that Zhu Long had suddenly leaped towards the Injured Demonic bull. He couldn't help but shout," Brother Lin, Have you Lost your mind? There is still the final strike left! You can't get close to the Demonic bull when that happens or else…. You will die!"

Zhu Ignored Ku Wang's words.'If Old Yang was in such a hurry for me to get within the proximity of the tribulation for the final strike, I guess it must be very important.. It could also be very beneficial for me." Zhu Long concluded within his mind as he rushed towards the Demonic bull.

As he was on his way, a weak voice came from his spiritual world,'Brat, I want you to follow your own intuition when you get striked by the Tribulation. The situation turned out to be very different from what I had thought, you should ignore what I had told you earlier about your sword. JUST FOLLOW YOUR INTUITION." Although his voice was weak, Old Yang's tone seemed to be softer and warmer, a complete 180 turn from what Zhu Long had been hearing till now. It was very similar to When He entered the spiritual world and met Old Yang for the first time.

Crack

Zhu Long looked towards the clouds to see that their color had turned into blood red. It was like nothing he had ever seen in his life. Ku Wang who had been staring towards Zhu Long also seemed to notice the sudden change in color of the clouds and was equally confused.'I've never seen this phenomenon in any of the books I've read till now. I wonder.. Did Brother Lin know that this was about to happen. That would explain why he had rushed towards the Demonic bull in the first place. He is truly filled with mysteries.' He thought as he looked towards Zhu Long, in admiration. There were many secrets related to Zhu Long.

Zhu Long was only a few hundred meters away from the demonic bull. Even at this distance, he could smell the odour of burning flesh as well as blood. It smelt awful enough to make anyone puke in disgust.

The clouds started to crack more often. It seemed like the tribulation strike was soon.
