Chapter 184 Jiang Han the Madman
The shattering of the frozen coffin by the Thunder Halberd only consumed less than one ten-thousandth of the Thunder Halberd's energy. Tang Yue looked at Jiang Han, who had shielded the Xuan Snake from the Nine Commandments' punishment, and tears streamed down her face. She hadn't expected Jiang Han to do this. She would be sad if the Xuan Snake was injured, but wouldn't she be sad if Jiang Han was injured?
"You madman! Everyone else, attack the Black Serpent! Don't let it leave tonight, no matter what!" Luo Mian cursed Jiang Han, then gave the order to his subordinate, the judge who could still cast magic.
Once the great battle of the Thunder Ring Punishment begins, there is no possibility of it being closed. Therefore, many palace guards and judges have to constantly inject magical energy into the great formation. Only a few judges who have not entered the formation can obey Luo Mian's orders.
Under Luo Mian's command, a dozen judges rushed towards the totem snake in the lake. Zhu Meng and his palace guard chief Wu Pingjing also rushed forward. Facing the rushing judges and Zhu Meng and the others, the snake flicked its scarlet tongue. Just as it was about to deal with Zhu Meng and the others, Jiang Han, who was resisting the punishment of the Nine Commandments, spoke up.
"Hey everyone, don't do anything. If you do, you'll be guilty of murder. Hand them over to me." Jiang Han said with difficulty, slowly pointing his left hand towards the edge of West Lake. Jiang Han activated the energy that had just been filled in his Thunder Dragon Armguard. If he didn't release the excess energy, Jiang Han didn't know how much longer the Thunder Dragon Armguard could last.
Grayish-purple lightning coiled on Jiang Han's right arm, its destructive aura constantly being compressed until it condensed into a single beam of grayish-purple lightning. As the lightning reached its maximum compression, a faint, low rumble of thunder emanated from Jiang Han's palm. Looking at Zhu Meng and the others rushing towards him, Jiang Han said with difficulty, "Retreat, or face the consequences!!!"
After saying that, the gray-purple death lightning shot straight into the lake not far from Zhu Meng and the others. With a loud 'boom,' the gray-purple lightning entered the lake water and a large amount of lake water was evaporated on the spot. The gray-purple lightning shot directly to the bottom of West Lake.
"Boy, do you know what you're doing?!" Zhu Meng said with a gloomy face as he looked at Jiang Han, who was struggling to withstand the punishment of the Nine Commandments.
"Of course I know," Jiang Han replied calmly before focusing on defending against the nine thunder halberds.
The commotion at West Lake quickly attracted the attention of nearby residents and passersby. Upon seeing the enormous body of the Black Serpent, the entire city was in an uproar.
"Oh my god, am I dreaming? What is that???"
"A snake! It's a snake! A huge snake!!"
"The Skyscraper Serpent, this is the Skyscraper Serpent that appeared during the disturbance. I'd like to see how the Songcheng leadership explains the Skyscraper Serpent's appearance in West Lake this time."
"That purple lightning in the sky is terrifying! What kind of magic could have such power? Could it be a high-level lightning magic?"
"Bullshit! Your high-level magic can suppress such a huge Sky Serpent? No, the Sky Serpent wasn't directly suppressed by this magic. It seems like there's someone in that terrifying lightning, someone is taking the brunt of the terrifying lightning for the Sky Serpent."
"Has he gone mad? Why did he have to withstand the terrifying lightning for that snake demon? If it weren't for the existence of the snake demon, so many people in Song City wouldn't have been infected with the plague. My parents and children wouldn't be sick and would still be receiving treatment. That snake demon deserves to die! Kill the snake demon!!!"
"Yes, that person who was willing to take the lightning for the snake demon must not be a good person either. They both deserve to die. It would be best to execute him and the snake demon together."
"Execute them!! Execute them!!!"
The riots eventually culminated in a unified slogan: execute Jiang Han and Xuan She. Hundreds of people gathered around West Lake, their shouts carrying far and wide, clearly audible even from the Su Causeway.
On the Su Causeway, Tang Yue's face was covered with tears. She couldn't understand why people would still shout slogans to execute them when everyone, including Jiang Han, had no ill intentions towards Song City and had protected it for countless years.
That's human nature. When the power of a person or creature exceeds the scope of their understanding, then that person or creature must die. This is people's fear of the unknown. So why was Jiang Han ordered to be executed? It's because he violated the interests of the majority. If you violate the interests of the majority, then you must die.
"Boy, did you hear the people shouting? They want us to execute you and Xuan She. Are you sure you want to take the Nine Commandments punishment for Xuan She?" Seeing that he couldn't persuade Jiang Han directly, Zhu Meng began to use public opinion to pressure him.
"Those who truly deserve to die will certainly not escape, and the one who truly deserves to die, I believe, won't live much longer either," Jiang Han said through gritted teeth.
As soon as he finished speaking, cracks began to appear in the barrier formed by the Thunder Dragon Armguard. Even after Jiang Han continuously used the high-level magic Ice Sealing Coffin to wear down the thunder power in the nine Thunder Halberds, only one percent of it was consumed. After all, super-level magic is super-level magic. It is almost impossible to wear down the power contained in super-level magic with high-level magic.
The cracks on the barrier multiplied, and Jiang Han knew that the energy barrier of the Thunder Dragon Armguard wouldn't last much longer. With a loud bang, the energy barrier finally gave way and shattered. Nine thunder halberds fell straight down, seven of them embedding themselves in Jiang Han's body. Violent thunderous power surged into Jiang Han's body, attempting to tear him apart.
"Pfft!" Jiang Han spat out a mouthful of blood and said weakly to the black serpent below, "I don't think I could have taken all the damage for you. I'm sorry."
"Roar!!" The black serpent raised its huge head and roared, as if to say that you have done enough and leave the rest to me.
Just as the thunderous power surging from the seven thunder halberds embedded in Jiang Han's body was about to destroy his life force, a special power within Jiang Han's body gradually eroded this violent thunderous power, and Xiao Shi's voice rang in Jiang Han's mind.
"Host detected to have been subjected to a low-level lightning attack. The 'Lightning Messenger' achievement is automatically activated. Lightning resistance is upgraded to Thunder Resistance, Thunder Resistance +0.01%, +0.02%, +0.03%..."
As Jiang Han's resistance to lightning slowly increased, the raging lightning power within him began to be gradually worn away.
The remaining two thunder halberds pierced the massive body of the Xuan Snake, causing it considerable trouble. Had Jiang Han not warned it not to harm those below, the Xuan Snake could have killed everyone on the Su Causeway except for Tang Yue. The violent thunder power left several thunder wounds on its body.
The Xuan Snake was in a weakened state of molting, but that didn't mean it could be harmed by just two thunder halberds containing violent lightning. When it saw Jiang Han close his eyes and fall from the air, the Xuan Snake raised its head and caught the falling Jiang Han. The violent lightning power flowed from Jiang Han to the Xuan Snake's head, but it only made it feel a slight numbness and no other sensation.
Tang Yue, standing on the Su Causeway, was already in tears when she saw this scene. Looking at the seriously injured and unconscious Jiang Han, she felt extremely remorseful, regretting that she hadn't listened to Jiang Han and insisted on summoning the Xuan Snake back.
Amidst the panicked gazes of the others, the enormous body of the black serpent began to approach the Su Causeway. When the black serpent stretched its head very close to the Su Causeway, Zhu Meng, Luo Mian, and countless palace guards and judges were terrified and retreated in fear, lest the black serpent suddenly swallow them whole.
It's important to know that the Black Serpent wasn't seriously injured by the Nine Commandments' punishment. Jiang Han had single-handedly withstood most of the power of the Nine Commandments' punishment. Zhu Meng, Luo Mian, Wu Pingjing, and the others didn't think they could survive the Black Serpent's attack. The Black Serpent's forked tongue emerged from its mouth, and just when Zhu Meng and the others thought they were doomed, the Black Serpent's forked tongue came to Tang Yue and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks. Its appearance was very gentle, as if it was afraid of hurting Tang Yue.
