Before his words had even faded, a black bolt of lightning suddenly shot out of thin air and arrived in an instant. This time, not only had Huang Mei failed to detect it, but Xu Yi had been completely unprepared as well. In the urgency of the moment, it was already too late to dodge.
Xu Yi grabbed Huang Mei and abruptly spun around, taking the full force of the lightning strike.
He spat out a mouthful of blood. His five viscera were charred, and he cried out in shock, Profound Yin Lightning! Someone actually cultivated Profound Yin Lightning!
Of the three thousand ways of wielding thunder, only tribulation lightning, magnetic lightning, and Profound Yin Lightning stood at the pinnacle.
He had cultivated magnetic lightning only thanks to a host of fortuitous opportunities. To this day, he had never seen anyone cultivate a thunder technique that could rival his. Now, Profound Yin Lightning, no less powerful than magnetic lightning, had suddenly appeared. How could he not be shaken?
When he looked again, a graceful figure emerged from the void. It was Zhen Lingrong.
"I never expected this. Truly, I never expected this.
"All along, I thought your reputation must exceed your actual strength.
"But I never imagined you could take one of my Profound Yin Lightning strikes with your bare body. There are very few people in the world with a body as strong as yours."
A faint smile touched Zhen Lingrong's lips, while her sharply arched brows remained cold.
"Daoist friend, you and I have no enmity. To be precise, I've twice helped you out of danger. Even if you don't consider that a debt of gratitude, surely it means we have some kind of bond.
"I truly can't understand why you would strike me with Profound Yin Lightning."
