Uh... The two men on either side watched the lightning flickering downward like the roots of a great tree, and their scalps went numb. They did not have Yue Qianchou's courage to summon lightning upon themselves, so they could only stand there stunned.
Yue Qianchou laughed heartily from the center of the lightning zone. "As the saying goes, a cowardly soldier is only a coward himself, but a cowardly general breeds a whole nest of cowards. The dignified Great Venerable of Jueqing Palace is so afraid of death that he actually expects his disciples to come out and die for him. You've truly broadened my horizons."
Everyone's gaze immediately turned toward Cang Yunxin. His face instantly turned green. The bolts dancing wildly across the sky did indeed make him wary. He had sent his two disciples out for the sake of safety, wanting to test exactly how powerful this heavenly lightning was. If the two disciples could evade and withstand it, then naturally he could as well.
"Kill him!" Cang Yunxin roared sharply. He was forcing his two disciples to enter the lightning zone and test the waters.
At this point, the two disciples had no way back. They exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and both unleashed their flying swords. Two streaks of radiant light tore through the dim space, shooting toward Yue Qianchou deep within the lightning zone. They had a fine plan: they hoped to kill Yue Qianchou with a long-range attack, while also using their flying swords to test whether it was safe.
Yet the moment the two streaks of light entered the lightning zone, they immediately provoked wave after wave of heavenly lightning. More than a dozen bolts struck down without mercy. Two furious thunderbolts instantly struck the air with two loud clangs, scattering sparks.
