Chapter 327: Forced Inside (2/2)

Suddenly the tornadoes were not only behind them; they were also in front, blocking their escape route. Even their side was completely sealed off.

”Our only option is the Thunder Twilight Zone!” Xue Wei said through gritted teeth. He was not too worried about his friends when it came to the lightning strikes as all of them were of the Heavenly Knight rank, but he feared for their safety within.

Only one out of ten were said to survive the entrance into the forbidden zone, so he was not too comfortable about it. Still, he understood that this was a risk he had to take. Staying here was certain death.

Having made up his mind, there was no hesitation in his body as it flashed. He changed his direction and headed straight for the Thunder Twilight Zone.

Sensing the certainty in Xue Wei's actions, his comrades did not hesitate to follow him, all of them rushing towards the Thunder Twilight zone.

Only the delegations of the two continents were left behind together with the sailors. All of them were unsure of what to do.

They all took Xue Wei as the leader of their group after the incident on Berserker Island. However, they also knew that if they entered the Thunder Twilight Zone, they were likely to die.

Since they would die no matter what choice they made, why not try to see if they could make it past the tornadoes?

Xue Wei did not have the time to care about who followed him and who did not, all that mattered to him was whether or not they would survive the onslaught of tornadoes.

The closer they came to the Thunder Twilight Zone, the more electricity he could sense in the air. It was as if every breath he took contained small lightning bolts that entered his body and started tempering his meridians.

The pain was manageable, but the closer they came the number they became, the pain was more and more painful, and they had to grit their teeth in an attempt to ignore the pain.

Although Xue Wei was merely a Sky Knight, he was handling the electric current much better than others, notably better than the members of the Demon Phoenix Continent and Yan Dalu.

Hei Gou was seemingly a beast walking in his own backyard; the electricity was doing no damage to him, even the bolts which had caused pain to the others were only tickling him.

Hei Gou was a mutated Celestial Dog. It was natural for him to have a connection to the weather. His most profound attacks depended on the moon and the sun, so for him, the thunder was a friend and not a foe.

After Hei Gou, the one who managed the best was Luoluo. Her petite face was slightly pale, and she was clearly feeling uncomfortable, but not to the point where she was feeling unbearable pain.

Bai Tianyi was equally pale, and his face grimaced from time to time, displaying that he was feeling pain.

Lin Xiao's face was equally dark. His fists were clenched so tightly that a small stream of blood was trailing down his fingers.

Xue Wei himself was feeling uncomfortable and painful. Although it was painful, he did not stop his reckless advance towards the Thunder Twilight Zone.

The pain was biting through his entire body, but it did not stop him, and he was even feeling elated. The electricity that invaded him was starting to embed itself within every cell of his body, and he felt himself grow in strength.

He knew that the electricity was further tempering their bodies. This Thunder Twilight Zone was an open treasure box.

Xue Wei smirked when he felt this. As an Azure Dragon, his body was more robust than ordinary cultivators of the same rank, so he was not too worried about being able to fend off the lightning bolts.

The loud booms resounded one after another, and the closer they got to the zone, the louder it became.

The tornadoes behind them were still ferocious and following them in every step they took, but the moment that Xue Wei and his friends had rushed into the Thunder Twilight Zone itself, the sea calmed, the tornadoes fell apart, and a chuckle could be heard resounding over the entire sea.

Xue Wei, Hei Gou, Lin Xiao, Luoluo, and Bai Tianyi were unaware of this, they only heard the rumbling thunder and saw the streaks of light from the lightning bolts that kept flashing in front of them.

It was as if they had entered a new world, a pocket dimension, where everything from outside was sealed off.

All they could see was thunder and lightning as far as the eye could see, and the sea underneath them was like a boiling pot of water, continually bubbling and cascading upwards from the impacts.

Outside the Thunder Twilight Zone, the ambassador of the Demon Phoenix Continent frowned.

It felt to him as if someone had forced Xue Wei to enter the forbidden area, but who held such frightening power?

Far away, Lan was leaning against a chair and chuckling. In front of him was a small bowl of water, and when one looked at it, it seemed still.

Moments before thousands of small tornadoes had been present in the bowl, but now they were all gone, but a satisfied smile was evident on Lan's lips.

”Don't disappoint me, little fake snake.”
