The third bolt arrived without a sound.
There was no thunder. No sonic boom. No blinding flash of violet fire across the clouds.
A needle-thin beam of pale, spectral white light dropped from the center of the iron vortex like a ray of cold moonlight falling through water. It passed through the air without disturbing a single grain of dust. A beam of pure, sub-zero Heart-Piercing Yin-Lightning, designed specifically to put out living life at the core level.
It punched straight through Lin Ke’s fractured chest bone and entered his around the heart cavity.
In a fraction of a split second, the internal heat of his chest plummeted from eight hundred degrees to minus forty.
The effect on the three-way merge was total.
The liquid heat-proof glass glaze, which had been flowing in smooth, smooth-flowing currents along his coronary waveguides, flash-froze into millions of razor-sharp glassy crystal needles.
The crystal shards shredded the inside endothelial lining of his main heart artery. His heart muscle, numbed by the extreme cryo-shock, seized mid-contraction and stopped beating entirely.
