Chapter 338: Thunder General!

Chapter 338: The Thunder General!

Boom!

Lightning halted before Li Wei and the others.

The figure of the Thunder General, Bella, emerged from the lightning.

Her hair took the shape of blue lightning, and her eyes spat forth electric sparks.

Bella glanced at Evelyn, who was slung over the Shadow Servant's back.

Seeing Evelyn poisoned to the core, she could not help but reveal a hint of tension and concern.

Bella did not inquire about Evelyn's condition; Christiman had already informed her via the Hyacinth.

She looked at the trio and asked, "What are your intentions?"

"Forcefully storm the nest of the Poison Scorpions like this?"

"Is Evelyn's death not enough? Do you wish to wager your own lives as well?"

Bella appeared somewhat aggressive.

Christiman hurriedly explained, "Li Wei said he can handle the Lord of the Poison Scorpions."

Bella turned to Li Wei, disbelief flashing in her eyes.

Li Wei wasn't even a Grand Mage; where did he get such audacity to think he could face a Sixth-Tier High-Level Lord?

She herself was already a Fifth-Tier High-Level professional.

Even facing a Sixth-Tier High-Level Lord, she felt an immense pressure.

Only by borrowing the power of the Goddess of Hundred Flowers could she barely fight it.

Such a battle was merely taking hits on one side, unable to kill it in the short term.

Killing the Lord of the Poison Scorpions was absolutely hopeless.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was too vast.

Having fought the Lord of the Poison Scorpions before, Bella understood its might, which is why she thought Li Wei was boasting.

No matter how formidable he was, crossing three tiers to defeat the Lord was impossible.

Tiers were fixed in place; no one could transcend them.

Li Wei looked at Bella and said, "If you do not believe me, you need not go."

Hearing this, Bella stared at Li Wei, locking gazes with him.

Crackle!

A bolt of electricity shot from Bella's eyes, aimed straight at Li Wei's.

The electrical beam detonated in mid-air.

It was blocked by Li Wei's solidified gaze of spiritual power.

Sparks flew from their clashing stares.

Watching this, both Christiman and Lili revealed expressions of shock.

Bella sensed Li Wei's spiritual power, far surpassing that of a Third-Tier Mage.

A faint smile touched her lips. "Good. It seems you truly possess some skill, but... the Lord of the Poison Scorpions is far stronger than you imagine!"

Bella looked at Li Wei, gazing intently into his eyes.

"You claim you can handle the Lord of the Poison Scorpions? Then fight me first, and let me see your true strength!"

Christiman showed a hint of helplessness.

He knew Bella's fighting spirit had been provoked.

Bella's status as the strongest among the Four Attendants of Hundred Flowers was largely due to her warlike nature.

He hurriedly added, "Bella, do not challenge me now; Evelyn is waiting for the Poison Dragon Saliva Grass to save her life."

Bella chuckled. "Time is not lacking. If he lacks the strength, going is sending oneself to death; it is merely a difference between dying early or late."

"Come then! Let me see your true strength!"

Bella leaped into the air, her hands wreathed in blue lightning.

With a wave of her hand, a bolt of lightning shot from her palm toward Li Wei.

Li Wei neither dodged nor avoided.

Since Bella wished to test his strength, he would let her witness it.

Boom!

The lightning struck Li Wei, shattering two layers of invisible armor.

Electric serpents flowed along the invisible armor, dissipating into the air.

Bella revealed a touch of surprise.

She had not expected Li Wei to remain unmoving.

More surprisingly, without doing anything himself, he had easily blocked her strike.

She had held nothing back.

When she fought, she never spared anyone.

Not even during a spar.

At best, she guaranteed Li Wei would not die.

Heavy injuries, severed limbs—she could not guarantee those.

Witnessing this, Bella showed a hint of interest.

"You have made me feel a trace of amusement."

"Come! Do not merely stand there; launch an attack against me!" Bella shouted loudly.

Her long hair, formed of lightning behind her, danced wildly like countless thunder snakes.

Above her head, the winds and clouds shifted, covering the clear sky with a layer of dark clouds.

Thunderclouds rolled.

Bella's overwhelming power was fully displayed.

When she exerted her full strength, she could even summon heavenly and earthly anomalies.

Changing the weather itself.

Li Wei looked up at her, the corners of his mouth rising.

"You were the one who told me to attack."

Seeing Li Wei's smile, Bella suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.

The Judgment Blade appeared in Li Wei's hand.

Bella gazed at the weapon in his hand, confusion etched upon her features.

"Aren't you a mage? Shouldn't your weapon be a staff?"

Li Wei offered a reminder.

"Take care! To be struck by the Blade of Judgment is fatal!"

Li Wei poured mana into the Blade of Judgment, activated it, locked onto Bella, and hurled it forth.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Blade of Judgment spun rapidly, soaring toward Bella.

Bella casually cast a bolt of lightning, aiming to blast the blade away.

Unexpectedly, the Blade of Judgment curved mid-flight, dodging the lightning, and shot directly for her neck.

The Blade of Judgment evaded the lightning and closed in on Bella.

Seeing the blade approach, a shivering terror instantly flooded Bella's heart.

Gazing at the Blade of Judgment drawing nearer.

A horrifying notion arose within Bella's mind.

Being struck by the Blade of Judgment truly meant death!

This dangerous intuition had saved Bella countless times before.

Bella chose to trust her instinct without hesitation.

She transformed into a streak of lightning and retreated.

The Blade of Judgment flew after Bella at a leisurely pace, pursuing her endlessly.

Kristiman watched Bella fleeing from the Blade of Judgment, a look of shock on his face.

"What is happening here?"

He had never seen Bella run away before.

Even during the last battle against Kira, when Bella lost, she did not flee.

That could only be termed a strategic withdrawal.

Being chased was a first-time occurrence.

"What exactly is that thing? Why is Bella so terrified?"

Kristiman wore an expression of curiosity.

Li Wei waved his hand and recalled the Blade of Judgment.

Only then did Bella fly back.

She looked at the Blade of Judgment in Li Wei's hand, silent for a long while, then asked, "What is this?"

"The Blade of Judgment, didn't I already mention that?" Li Wei said.

Bella: "..."

"Why do I feel like touching it will kill me?" Bella voiced her inner doubt.

Li Wei put away the Blade of Judgment and said, "Because it bears a Legendary lethal effect."

"Legendary lethal effect!?"

Both Bella and Kristiman widened their eyes, displaying expressions of utter disbelief.

Lillith was also somewhat surprised, yet she displayed no significant change in expression.

"Does this mean... this is a Legendary item?"

Kristiman, showing a look of shock, hurriedly asked.

Li Wei nodded, "It counts as a Legendary item."

A Legendary item...

Bella felt somewhat speechless.

You, a third-order mage possessing a Legendary item, what exactly is your origin?

Looking at Li Wei, she said, "I now admit you have the capability to handle the Poison Scorpion Lord."

"I will cooperate with you in battle," Bella stated.

Li Wei smiled, "That is good. Let us go. Time waits for no one."

The four quickly rose and flew toward the Poison Scorpion nest.

This time, everyone was brimming with confidence.
