With crack after crack, several more purple lightning dragons struck in quick succession, and Qin Xi endured them all.
By then, he was in a truly wretched state, swaying on his feet as though he might collapse at any moment.
Yet Qin Xi remained standing, holding on through sheer force of will.
Watching Qin Xi take every bolt of lightning alone, Di Qun, Ao Xin, and the others could no longer bear it.
Di Qun looked at Ao Xin and said, "I really can't wait any longer. Let's go inside and see what's happening."
Although the two of them were far weaker than those inside, that was the truth.
But now, they truly could not wait another moment.
Ao Xin looked at Di Qun and said without hesitation, "I think we should have done this long ago. We can't keep following Qin Xi's wishes."
Without another moment's hesitation, the two of them strode into the dilapidated house.
Only a few walls remained to block their view, so as soon as they drew closer, they could see the people sitting cross-legged around Qin Xi. All of them were in a sorry state, too.
As the two entered, they caught sight of Qin Xi swaying where he stood.
He looked as though he might collapse at any moment, and the sight broke their hearts.
Before seeing this wretched scene for themselves, they had truly believed Qin Xi could hold on.
But now that they saw the people inside the room, the sight was almost too painful for either of them to bear.
Di Qun looked up at the thunderclouds as another bolt came crashing down. Without hesitation, she shoved Ao Xin aside.
Then she lunged forward, placing herself in front of Qin Xi. With a thunderous crack, a purple bolt struck her.
