115 Lightning Tribulation 3 (1/2)
A large purple streak of lightning had flashed onto Fan Yuqing with a thunderous bloom as she raised her hands to receive the full blast of the lightning. At the same time, Ye Jing and Xuan Danfeng had also cried out loud as the full force of the lightning rippled through them, threatening to rip their very souls to pieces!
Fan Yuqing, Xuan Danfeng and Ye Jing were all trembling with the aftershocks of the lightning blast as they attempted to recover their wits…
Ye Jing said weakly, ”Guess that we have just managed to survive the second lightning. Seven more to go…”
Xuan Danfeng nodded. Her fingers were trembling as she popped in a vitality pill while Fan Yuqing was looking extremely pale as she grasped tightly the horn of the Tyrant Behemoth.
Ye Jing tenderly touched Fan Yuqing's hand and asked gently, ”Are you alright? You really don't look so well.”
Fan Yuqing closed her eyes and said, ”I'm alright. You have better focused on your own survival first.”
Ye Jing nodded weakly as she popped a pill before she said, ”Sisters, I still have some high grade soul stones here to replenish our spiritual force…”
Fan Yuqing quietly grabbed one of the high grade soul stones before she closed her eyes once more to recuperate from her injuries. It was because she knew that she had to recuperate faster than the lightning attacks or else she would not be able to survive this lightning tribulation.
Soon, the third, fourth, fifth and sixth purple lightning had descended and a hole that was 3m deep had appeared where Fan Yuqing, Ye Jing and Xuan Danfeng were and they were all lying on the ground now…
Even the horn of the Tyrant Behemoth had cracked under the pressure of the continuous lightning strikes. The only thing that was unaffected by the lightning strikes was Ye Jing's immortal sword.
Up on the slope of the mountains, Xiaofang could barely watch anymore; he was trembling and hating himself that he was unable to help. He had wanted to rush down the mountain slope but the Celestial Liege warned him of the consequences of distracting them.
”There is nothing we can do now except to observe.” He warned Xiaofang.
The seventh purple lightning had burst from the dark heavens like a furious coiling dragon and was now flashing to the ground below where Fan Yuqing, Xuan Danfeng and Ye Jing were.
Fan Yuqing quickly mustered all her strength to stand up as she raised her palm to receive the full fury of the sixth purple lightning as she coughed out blood before she was slammed in a circle onto the ground while Ye Jing and Xuan Danfeng were scattered around the newly created pit as they coughed out a few mouthful of blood.
As they all landed simultaneous on the ground, the horn of the Tyrant Behemoth had also scattered into hundreds of fragments…
Ye Jing smiled weakly with her face on the ground, ”The horn is gone now…so are all our soul stones…”
Xuan Danfeng was convulsing on the ground as she struggled to eat the pill that was in her fingers but the lightning had left her upper body paralyzed…
Fan Yuqing was lying on the ground and her breathing was extremely weak, ”We…have taken so many divine pills already. These pills do not have any effect anymore…”
She closed her eyes and said, ”Sister Jing, Sister Danfeng….I'm sorry. I've thought that we're able to pull through this. But in the end…I am just so weak…and my haughtiness has even cost you your lives…”
Ye Jing muttered, ”You…are not…weak. You are taking twice the hits as us…we're actually…not bad…at all, we have managed to survive until now.”
Xuan Danfeng smiled weakly, ”At least, we…can still chat…for five minutes more…any last wishes?…”
Ye Jing said weakly, ”…Sister Yuqing…I've a secret to tell you…I actually do not trust you or like you when we have first met…”
Fan Yuqing smiled coldly, ”Is this…even a secret?”
Ye Jing grinned weakly, ”I like you when we're in the…Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth…I wish that… journey has not ended so fast…”
Fan Yuqing smiled quietly, ”Is that so…”
Ye Jing gasped weakly as she coughed out another mouthful of blood, ”I…have…another secret…that I want to tell you…”
Fan Yuqing smiled coldly, ”I thought…you just say you only have one secret…and now you have…another secret?”
”That one…doesn't count since you…have already known. This one…is a real…secret….do you remember Dongfang Jun? I've met him and…”
Fan Yuqing was jolted and she gasped weakly, ”What about him?…”
Ye Jing smiled and said weakly, ”If we survive the next lightning then…I will tell you…alright?…the next wave of lightning…is starting soon…”
The entire dark heavens were now arcing with purple lightning and the mountains were shaking with the sounds of thunders.
Rumble! Boom!
