Chapter: 2913
“What did you say?!” Xuan Fengnian exclaimed, his eyes wide and his face pale with fear. He asked, “You… you also have a thundering order?!”
Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “What’s so strange about that? If you have one, why can’t I?”
Xuan Fengnian stammered, “But… but the way to create the Thunder Order has been lost! My Thunder Order was taken from the tomb of a Ming Dynasty master by a lieutenant of the Jinjin school! Besides my three thundering orders, I’ve never seen another one!”
Charlie Wade chuckled and said, “It looks like you’re not just misguided, but also quite ignorant. To me, your thundering order is just a faulty version. How can a thundering order be used only once? It just makes a small flash of lightning!”
Then, Charlie Wade pulled out his own thundering order from his pocket, grinning as he said, “Let me show you mine!”
When Xuan Fengnian saw Charlie Wade holding a wooden token too, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the difference between yours and mine? Isn’t it also made from lightning wood?”
Charlie Wade scoffed, “Do you want to see the difference? Let me show you right now!”
With that, Charlie Wade raised his thundering order high above his head and shouted, “Thunder!”
As soon as he spoke, dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky, rumbling with thunder. The sound was terrifying!
It felt like the calm before a storm, and Xuan Fengnian was instantly shocked by the display. He trembled and murmured, “How is this possible…? How is this…”
Mai Chengxing felt a wave of fear wash over him as he stood behind Charlie Wade. He looked at Charlie’s back, wondering how this young man could possess such incredible power. “Is he stronger than a warrior?” he thought. “But those kinds of people disappeared long ago, back in the Tang Dynasty, didn’t they?”
Meanwhile, Charlie Wade held a thunderous order in his hand and stared down at Xuan Fengnian, who seemed insignificant, like an ant. “Xuan Fengnian,” Charlie said coldly, “I will punish you with death today. Do you accept this?”
Xuan Fengnian, overwhelmed by fear, could only stand there, paralyzed and unsure of how to respond.
When he didn’t answer, Charlie pointed at the car Xuan Fengnian had arrived in. Suddenly, a loud thunderclap echoed, and a bolt of lightning struck the car. In an instant, it exploded, sending pieces flying and flames shooting into the sky!
Xuan Fengnian was completely stunned. His legs gave way, and he dropped to the ground, kneeling. In his shock, he lost control and wet himself.
Mai Chengxing’s heart raced as he remembered his earlier refusal to help Charlie. Panic filled him as he feared that Charlie might turn his wrath on him next. He knew that with Charlie’s power, he could easily make him vanish without a trace.
Seeing Xuan Fengnian kneeling in fear, Charlie Wade coldly asked again, “Xuan Fengnian, I will ask you one more time. Will you accept your punishment?”
Tears streamed down Xuan Fengnian’s face as he choked out a response, like a frightened child. “I accept… I accept… I just hope that the…”
“Master, please… I would rather live like a dog than lose your favor. I promise to follow you for the rest of my life and give you my best. I beg you, master! I beg you!”
Charlie Wade smiled slightly and replied, “Kaien doesn’t exist, and I don’t need someone like that to be my dog.”
Then, he looked down at the dying Gu worm at his feet and sneered, “Have you ever heard of the saying about being invited into the urn?”
Xuan Fengnian’s face turned pale.
Of course, he knew the saying. It referred to a torturer who specialized in cruel methods. This torturer would burn a mouthful of an urn and then force people to come closer, tricking them into thinking they were being invited in when, in reality, it was a trap.
