Chapter 173: Lightning Evasion (1/2)
The rainclouds regrouped together at the sky, for fro fro in on the area
The scene looked eerily faroup of people watched with theirshook his head and said, ”We're so stupid Chu Li's levitations skills are re strike, but he could run away froot about the previous enlightened masters Their levitation skills aren't bad either, but they too could notWhen atched fro strikes weren't too fast, and felt that he should be able to e, but that is all just an illusion Even the fastest enlightened masters could not beat the speed of the thunder! There is no escape!”
”But Chu Li would be able to” Siao shi+ replied hih she did not learn martial arts, but she had seen first-handed how fast Chu Li could be He could travel miles of distances within seconds, which was truly phenomenal
”That is because he had a head-start” Mulin scoffed, ”He had anticipated it If he had onlyhishan said, ”I could see that the lightning was albeit slow With Chu Li's levitation abilities, he should be able to escape unscathed!”
”He can run, but he can't hide forever” Mulin scoffed, ”No ood his levitation is, he still needs to stop and take a rest or so How could he hold on like that forever?”
Zhao Qingshan said, ”But Chu Li would not be foolish enough to re to hit hi is indeed the smartest way But unfortunately, it wouldn't helpHe will die sooner or later” Mulin shook his head and sighed, ”With every strike, the lightning increases in intensity If he had escaped very early, then the next wave of lightning strikes co at him would not be the sa Chu Li's ingenuity, he had surely escaped at the very beginning”
Everyone nodded slowly, agreeing with his statement
”So, this ht?” Zhao Qingshan asked in a low tone, ”Could there be so inside the Hall of Martial Arts that would help hi?”
”That's io over there and see” Siao Qi said
Chu Li sat cross-legged at the highest floor of the Hall of Martial Arts, his ht that he could avoid the lightning strike with his heightened senses and levitation skills But when the thunder started growling, he realized that he had underesti's prowess It was truly an impeccable force
When he was at the Wind Tower earlier, his intuition told him that he should not attempt to escape, because the action would then su strikes He knew that even with the greatest levitation skills, he would not be able tohad started striking, he used his heightened sense of danger to help dodge it With that he hadBut towards the end, he realized that he was losing control of the situation There was no escape, and his last resort was to levitate to the Hall of Martial Arts
Although he was no physicist, but froarnered from his past life, he knew that metal could conduct electricity
Both the Hall of Martial Arts and the Tower of Wisdom were completely built out of bronze, thus were suitable candidates as a lightning conductor He was intrigued to see, whether the thunder above would be able to defy the laws of nature, capable of avoiding the bronze tower and getting to hi shattered the darkness in the sky It presented as a giant ”Z” shape connecting the sky and earth, with one end piercing through a raincloud, the other end piercing at the top of the bronze tower
For a moment then, the tower looked like it was set ablaze, but the electric current soon dissipated What folloas a loud clatter of thunderclap
Upon seeing the unusual changes of the sky, the people froathered with the nuround, ere at the ti martial arts The crowd looked up into the sky
”What is this?”
”What's going on?” Why did the sunny bright sky suddenly turn into this thunderstor, until Master Siao and the few people from Wind Tower had arrived at the scene At thatstriking the bronze tower
The bolts of lightning looked like numerous silver serpents Their currents flowed down the sides of the tower in a doard direction froround
The bronze tower suffered blows after blows of lightning, the flashes of electricity kept blinking non-stop The net, drawing the people closer to it Siao Tieying was shocked by the phenomenon, so he hurriedly called out, ”Everyone, we should retreat backwards!”
The crowd retreated a few steps away from the tower The mysterious attraction force had weakened too
”Ke Cha! Ke Cha!” The bolt of lightning struck doith increasing speed, beco more and htly as a result of the incessant lightning strikes As a result, its outer layer of rust was peeling bit by bit, sporting a blackish glow as the layer was exposed It looked like a giant sword pierced to the ground, with electric currents flashi+ng across its surface, just like silver serpents curling onto it
Siao Qi and Siao shi+ both bit down on their lips nervously as they watched the tower The dazzling electric light shi+ned on their faces brightly
The sky ru It was the order of the day The lightning boltsthe Hall of Martial Arts
The croatched with their ape They were stunned by the scene laid before them They could not understand why and how it happened
Besides Siao Tieying, Siao Qi and those from Wind Tower, the rest of the crowd had their heads full of questions What was the cause of all this chaos? Could it be that an ancient artifact was unearthed? Or was it because the Grand Master of the Yi Public House had broke through the boundaries of an enlightened master?
The croas bamboozled After what seeradually beca slowed down too The bronze tower slowly eed into view froain But when the crowd looked at it, they realized that there were drastic changes to the tower, not its height, but its diameter The tower looked like it had shriveled
The thunderstor stopped
