“Don't misunderstand...”
After the Punishment Lightning appeared, it directly transformed into a human shape and waved its hands repeatedly at Lu Ming and the others.
The Punishment Lightning didn't want the Tribulation Lightning to be devoured either. If this Tribulation Lightning vanished, the Thunder Pool would just breed another one.
But that would be a new Tribulation Lightning... it would no longer be this current one!
Lu Ming and the others, who were already in shock, were dumbfounded when they saw the Punishment Lightning suddenly take on a human form.
This lightning was pretty interesting; it could actually turn into a human?
They had never seen anything like it!
“What does he mean?”
Looking at the still-waving Punishment Lightning, Lu Ming couldn't help but ask.
Fu Yunshen and the others shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.
Big Yellow analyzed with a look of absolute certainty: “He means: ‘Don't get cocky, I'm about to strike you dead right now...’”
The Punishment Lightning, who was still waving, froze. Dog, you really know how to translate.
If you weren't standing next to Lu Ming, I would fucking strike you dead right now.
Hearing Big Yellow's analysis, Lu Ming rubbed his hands together.
“Then I'll have to experience it for myself.”
With that, he rested his left hand on his right wrist and curled his right middle finger in a beckoning motion: “Come at me...”
He refused to believe it. If he could handle the Tribulation Lightning, how could he not handle the Punishment Lightning?
Weren't they both just lightning?
“Little Puny, save me quickly...”
Just then, the Tribulation Lightning, who was almost completely sucked into the black hole, cried out in a panic.
Hearing the Tribulation Lightning's cry for help, the Punishment Lightning didn't care about anything else and quickly used his lightning power to write:
‘Big Brother, it's a misunderstanding... it's all a misunderstanding... please let the Tribulation Lightning go...’
Seeing this line of words, everyone was stunned.
“Holy crap... lightning can actually write!”
Lu Ming couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Still, Lu Ming stopped absorbing the Tribulation Lightning. He wanted to see what these two lightning fellas were up to.
When the Punishment Lightning heard Lu Ming's exclamation, he was also speechless.
What kind of talk is that? Just because we aren't human doesn't mean we're illiterate!
However, seeing that Lu Ming had stopped absorbing the Tribulation Lightning, the Punishment Lightning couldn't help but sigh in relief:
‘Thank you, Big Brother...’
Looking at the Tribulation Lightning still crackling on his body, Lu Ming stroked his chin.
“Speaking of which, you guys have struck me plenty of times. Why should I let you go?”
“Exactly! Boss gets struck by you guys all the time. Especially you—you strike Boss at the slightest provocation...” Big Yellow chimed in from the side.
Meanwhile, Fu Yunshen and Wang Defa were so shocked that their worldview was completely shattered, and their faces were frozen in disbelief.
Punishment Lightning personally descending to beg a human... in all their years of living, let alone seeing it, they had never even heard of such a thing.
Everything they had ever seen or heard was about how incredibly powerful Tribulation Lightning and Punishment Lightning were, and how they had struck down this genius or blasted that big shot to death...
This was the first time they had seen the two lightnings wimp out. But truth be told, it felt pretty damn good...
Hearing Lu Ming's words, the Punishment Lightning felt a bit awkward. That's true... I'm constantly thinking about striking him to death, so why should he let us go?
But there's no other choice! Who told my relationship with Tribulation Lightning to be so close...
‘Big Brother, we didn't want to strike you either. These are all missions from above, we have no choice...’
Lu Ming's eyes flickered. If he could win over these two lightnings, could they be used for his own purposes?
If he got into a fight with someone in the future and could just summon these two lightnings to help with a wave of his hand, wouldn't that be absolutely badass?
With this thought, Lu Ming spoke: “Your mission is your mission, what does that have to do with me? After all, you guys wanted to strike me dead...”
Then, Lu Ming pointed at the Punishment Lightning again: “Especially you. You strike me every few days... Am I really that hated? Bringing down Heavenly Punishment at the drop of a hat. I highly suspect you've been using public office to settle a personal grudge in secret...”
“Yes, Boss is absolutely right,” Big Yellow wagged its tail, chiming in supportively.
‘We are being wronged! It really is a mission from above. We aren't allowed to come out and strike people on our own...’
The Punishment Lightning felt a bit guilty. While he hadn't come out to strike him on his own authority, he definitely had settled a personal grudge, increasing the intensity every single time.
No way, I can't admit to this even if it kills me.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Ming and wrote:
‘Big Brother, how about this: we'll give you some compensation in the future. If there are any more missions to strike you, we'll go easy on you, okay...?’
The Tribulation Lightning also chimed in to agree.
“No need. I don't need you to go easy on me anymore. I can already handle you guys now...”
Hearing Lu Ming's words, Fu Yunshen and Wang Defa's lips twitched.
Heavenly lightning going easy on someone! That's something countless people couldn't even beg for!
Yet Lu Ming just rejected it like that.
If today's matter were to spread, how many people would... well, they definitely wouldn't believe it. After all, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it either.
Meanwhile, Wang Defa was thinking even further ahead. The Eldest Disciple of the Qingshan Sect was already this badass. Then wouldn't the big boss be absolutely legendary? Had he just managed to latch onto an absolute titan of a thigh?
Thinking of this, Wang Defa trembled with excitement.
“Look at you, you've scared Old Man Wang so much he's trembling all over...” Sensing Wang Defa's unusual state, Lu Ming couldn't help but complain to the Punishment Lightning.
Hearing this, the Punishment Lightning was startled and hurriedly took half a step back.
‘Rest assured, I will absolutely never strike anyone without reason...’
‘Big Brother, I know you don't need us to go easy on you, but please, give us a chance to go easy on you anyway...’
the Punishment Lightning wrote again.
As for whether he would be punished by the Heavenly Dao in the future, that was a problem for later. He had to get through this crisis first.
When Wang Defa heard Lu Ming's words, his lips twitched. Scared, my foot! I'm excited, okay?
Then, his eyes flickered: “Great Sect Master, I see that this heavenly lightning is sincerely apologizing. Why don't you give them a chance?”
He had also realized that Lu Ming wanted to subdue the two heavenly lightnings.
Fu Yunshen's eyes also flickered. “Great Sect Master, give them a chance. I think they are being quite sincere...”
‘Yes, yes... Big Brother, you should still give us a chance. After all, everyone has aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandpas. In the future, we'll do our best to look after your friends and family too...’
Seeing these words, Lu Ming nodded: “Forget it. Seeing how sincere you are, I'll reluctantly agree...”
‘Thank you, Big Brother...’
Seeing that Lu Ming had finally agreed, the Punishment Lightning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu Ming then directly released the remaining, but already extremely weak, Tribulation Lightning from his body.
Looking at the sliver of Tribulation Lightning that remained, the Punishment Lightning couldn't help but feel sympathetic: Sigh... How pitiful.
‘Big Brother, can we leave now?’ the Punishment Lightning asked.
“Wait...”
Just then, Lu Ming called out to stop them.
Both lightnings shuddered. Don't tell them Lu Ming was going back on his word!
‘Big Brother, is there anything else?’ the Punishment Lightning asked cautiously.
He was truly terrified that Lu Ming would change his mind and absorb them both.
