Tu Xiao'an was in control of the Thunder Attribute, and he felt a surge of exhilaration. He had long since grown accustomed to the sight of people kneeling before him.
His current appearance and the accompanying phenomena were even more intimidating than they had been on She Mountain.
Even he was starting to doubt that he wasn't the Snake King.

There were no dark clouds filling the night sky, no howling winds, no rumbling thunder. A piercing white light suddenly erupted, like a thick silver serpent or a snow-white blade, striking the base of the nearby locust tree.
BOOM...
CRACK...
The great locust tree was instantly obliterated. A wisp of green smoke rose and drifted into the air.
