"Treading Snow!"
Lu Changsheng flashed forward, swiftly arriving where Murong Taxue had fallen. Dropping to one knee, he lifted her from the rubble. Murong Taxue's face was pale, blood still staining the corner of her lips. More than half of her moon-white gown had been soaked crimson, and her chest rose and fell weakly. The Ice Lotus Mark between her brows had dimmed as well, the chill around her completely dispersed. Even her fingertips were ice-cold; clearly, Night Emperor Demon Lord's blow had done no small amount of damage.
"I'm fine..." Her lashes trembled as she tried to raise a hand, only for it to fall limply back down.
"Don't speak." Lu Changsheng's voice was low as he carefully handed her to the arriving Lin Qingxuan.
"Take care of her."
Lin Qingxuan received Murong Taxue, holding the Qing Ling Sword across her front, her eyes filled with anxiety and fury.
"Brother, you have to avenge Sister-in-law! That bat—"
Lu Changsheng slowly turned, his gaze settling on Night Emperor Demon Lord, who was staring at him coldly from afar.
"Thunder Tribulation Armor!"
Boom!
Within his dantian, five kinds of lightning erupted and swiftly spread throughout his entire body. Violent Lightning Power condensed over his skin, covering him from head to toe and rapidly forming an imposing suit of armor. Ancient thunder patterns covered the armor. The instant it appeared, it drew upon the lightning in the void, and countless arcs of electricity gathered and poured into his body.
In an instant, the spiritual power within Lu Changsheng, which had been drained from using the Thunder Lotus, surged back like rivers flowing in reverse, filling him completely as his aura rose wildly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
