Chapter 259 - He Who Appeared In Time (1/2)
The sound of thunder rang out beside her ears, yet she did not feel the severe pain of the lightning invading her body.
She opened her eyes in doubt and saw a figure standing straight in front of her with his enchanting mane of long silver hair swaying gently despite it not being blown by the wind. Under the cage of lightning that did not disperse for a long time, the sight of it contained an indescribable charm.
Huangfu Qingjue!
At present, countless lightning sparks flowed into Huangfu Qingjue’s body. He was helping Ling Chuxi withstand the baptism of this eighth strike of heavenly lightning.
“What are you doing? This is heavenly lightning that strikes and alters the body! You won’t be able to withstand it!” exclaimed Ling Chuxi in surprise as the emotions in her heart became a mess.
“Could it be that you don’t know this? Only the ninth strike of the heavenly lightning is the true body-altering lightning. The eight strikes before that are just tests of heavenly might,” explained Huangfu Qingjue as he turned his head ever so slightly. His calm voice contained a slight tremble and his handsome face was pale. Obviously, the power of this heavenly lightning strike was hard to withstand, even for him.
“Ugh… Stupid heavens. I’m going to fight it out with them!” roared Ling Chuxi in anger. Despite being stunned at her own outburst, she proceeded to draw the Luo Chen Sword and slashed at the pillars of lightning engulfing them! The few heavenly lightning strikes before this one had already made her unable to withstand much more and now the eighth strike was one that even Huangfu Qingjue found hard to withstand! Much less her! Plus, going through all this counted for nothing yet as only the ninth strike was the true Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body! These old heavens really wanted her life!
The moment the sword was brought out, Ling Chuxi realized that this heavenly lightning was actually so strong that even the first seven strikes of heavenly lightning combined together were not comparable to it. No wonder even Huangfu Qingjue seemed to be strained under its might.
Mid-air, lightning was falling like rain, merging into that one singular strike of heavenly lightning bearing down on them.
Huangfu Qingjue groaned and his body trembled slightly. A trace of blood trickled out from the corner of his lips.
It turns out that this was the real power of Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body. It was no accident that so many prior geniuses had fallen victim to this heavenly lightning.
