This Thunder Scared Me to Death

"Boom boom boom!"

Deafening thunder roared behind him as Xiao Yan stepped through the void, his speed so fast that he left a trail of afterimages.

The afterimage was easily destroyed in an instant by the Black Demon Lightning that shot from behind, shattering like a dream bubble.

Further back, there was a large group of enormous Black Demon Lightning Python, spewing black lightning!

These Black Demon Lightning Python are considered to be among the more powerful ones in this Void Thunder Pool, but they still lack intelligence and only possess an innate destructive instinct.

Xiao Yan had been absorbing a lot of the weaker outermost layers of Black Demon Lightning to cultivate these days. Sensing the large-scale disappearance of his companions, the Black Demon Lightning finally realized something was wrong and began to hunt down Xiao Yan, the culprit.

With the help of the Black Demon Lightning and the tempering and forging of the Six-Harmony Heaven-Annihilating Flame and the Eight Desolation Destruction Flame within his body, Xiao Yan has finally cultivated the Great Sun Separation Fire Body to its ultimate level, reaching a level comparable to a Ninth-Turn Peak Dou Zun expert.

If we add the power enhancement brought by his own Dragon-Phoenix Physique, Xiao Yan can now rival an Initial Half-Saint with just his physical strength.

In addition, Xiao Yan also introduced a portion of the Black Demon Lightning into the Dragon-Phoenix Wings within his body, upgrading the lightning within the original Wind Lightning Power into Black Demon Lightning.

The increase in speed goes without saying, and even the Phoenix Wings themselves are imbued with extremely powerful and domineering demonic lightning power, greatly enhancing their offensive capabilities.

In addition, with the help of the domineering power of the Black Demon Lightning, Xiao Yan also accelerated the speed at which he refined the Dou Qi transmitted by the Hua Yu.

In just two and a half months, he not only mastered the Great Sun Separation Fire Body to its fullest extent, but also raised his cultivation level to the Nine-Star Peak Dou Zun.

However, even so, when faced with the relentless bombardment of a large number of Black Demon Lightning behind him, each capable of killing at least a Five-turn Peak Dou Zun expert, Xiao Yan still had to temporarily avoid the onslaught. He circled around, absorbing the weaker Black Demon Lightning on the outer edge, while dodging the dense lightning bolts coming from behind.

"Damn, I never thought I'd get to enjoy the treatment that should have been reserved for the hospital director first."

Xiao Yan muttered to himself, but he didn't dare to slow down his movements in the slightest.

Although he wasn't afraid of the group of Black Demon Lightning behind him if things got serious, and he could even turn the tables and wipe them out, that would inevitably lead to a major battle with these Black Demon Lightning bolts. If that caused the Void Thunder Pool to riot and attracted the Nine Profound Golden Lightning Dragon, he would be doomed.

"Huh?"

A large amount of Black Demon Lightning was drawn out by Xiao Yan, causing the lightning in the area where the Black Demon Lightning had gathered to become thinner. A fleeting glimpse of a fair face caught Xiao Yan's attention.

There are actually other people cultivating in this place?

Although he only glanced at it, Xiao Yan was certain that the face belonged to a beautiful woman.

However, Xiao Yan was not short of beautiful women around him, so he did not immediately think of going over to chat with the beautiful woman who was also cultivating here. Instead, he continued to devour the Black Demon Lightning while dodging the pursuit from behind.

However, although Xiao Yan did not want to provoke the mysterious woman who was cultivating here, she did not intend to ignore him. A faint soul fluctuation, like a candle flickering in the wind, crossed the space and entered Xiao Yan's soul sea.

"Save..."

Because the other party's soul fluctuations were too weak to carry much useful information, Xiao Yan only heard one word.

Even so, it was enough to make him hesitate.

With his current level of cultivation and understanding of soul power, he naturally realized immediately that the other party's soul fluctuations were so weak, and that their condition was even worse than that of Venerable Skyfire back then.

However, judging from the fact that the opponent was still able to tear through space and transmit soul fluctuations even when he was in such a weakened state, he must have been at least Half-Saint, or even a true Dou Sheng Expert in his prime.

Under such circumstances, if Xiao Yan ignores her, this woman will likely perish completely within a few days.

Without much hesitation, Xiao Yan decided to lend a helping hand.

Those who can cultivate in this Void Thunder Pool are either members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan or members of the Lei Clan, like the Dean of the Jia Nan Academy, the Venerable Mang Tianchi Chi Mang.

Therefore, Xiao Yan could not ignore her plea for help no matter what.

Therefore, Xiao Yan used the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to completely isolate his aura, and then drew out the Black Demon Lightning inside the Phoenix Wings to cover his entire body, making it easier to blend into the Black Demon Lightning swarm. Afterwards, he summoned the Devouring Heavenly Corpse, which he hadn't forgotten to take with him when he ran away.

Immediately, Xiao Yan used the Devouring Heavenly Corpse to protect himself, drawing away the Black Demon Lightning Python that was chasing after him. He then used his movement Dou Technique to the extreme and sped towards the mysterious woman who had asked him for help.

Although Xiao Flame Master focused on cultivating his Dou Qi realm and the Great Sun Separation Fire Body Dou Qi Dou Technique during the more than six months he spent cultivating in the Void Thunder Pool, he also continued to improve his previously created movement Dou Technique, Dragon-Phoenix Sky-Stepping, in his spare time.

The Dragon-Phoenix Sky-Stepping has now reached the level of Low Heaven Tier Dou Technique. In addition, with Xiao Yan's strength greatly increased, the speed at which he uses it is also quite astonishing. After only three flashes, he has already penetrated deep into the Black Demon Lightning Cluster.

Upon arriving here, one can see the golden dragon shadow at the very center of the Void Thunder Pool in the distance, through the dense swarms of Black Demon Lightning Python.

Fortunately, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning Dragon seemed to be in a dormant state at the moment, its aura was quiet, and it did not notice Xiao Yan, the intruder.

With his gaze withdrawn from the Nine Profound Golden Lightning Dragon, Xiao Yan was finally able to take a good look at the mysterious woman who had asked him for help.

She had long, smooth, snow-white hair, fair skin that was as white as snow, and an ethereal temperament. On her bright and noble face, however, there was a wooden quality that made her seem inanimate. Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yan realized that it was because her eyes had lost focus, making her look like an empty shell.

The gaze continued downwards, and a slender, snow-white neck, resembling that of a swan, came into view, along with delicate collarbones. Next came a pair of naturally large breasts, comparable to Xiao Li's!

Oh my god, that thunder scared me to death!

Xiao Yan was startled, as if his eyes had been pricked by needles. He quickly raised his eyes and dared not look down any further.

Because he had already realized that the other person didn't have any clothes at all!

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. But senior, your physical condition is quite impressive. You're completely unharmed in this place ravaged by Black Demon Lightning."

Xiao Yan coughed lightly, wiped his nose, and said, somewhat guiltily avoiding eye contact.

However, he couldn't be blamed for that, since the other party was indeed not wearing anything, or rather, her clothes had been blasted to dust by the Black Demon Lightning in this area.

To avoid embarrassment, Xiao Yan waved his hand and used the power of his Heavenly Flames to conjure a large robe for her, completely covering her snow-white and beautiful figure.

Because if one only uses Dou Qi, one cannot withstand the bombardment of the Black Demon Lightning here. Only a robe formed from Heavenly Flames can have enough strong defensive power to resist the bombardment of the Black Demon Lightning.

But up to this point, the mysterious woman had not spoken another word to Xiao Yan.

Clearly, her condition was worse than before.

Xiao Yan didn't dare to delay. He quickly pulled the mysterious woman into his arms, and blue-purple flames surged from his body, forming a fire shield that enveloped him and the woman. He then grabbed the Devouring Heavenly Corpse to protect him and clear a path, and charged headlong towards the outside of the Void Thunder Pool.

At Xiao Yan's current speed, running at full speed, it would only take him three breaths to emerge from the depths of the Void Thunder Pool.

But Xiao Yan ran a little longer until he could no longer see the Void Thunder Pool. Only then did he release the Devouring Heavenly Corpse that he had been holding in front of him like a shield, letting it go to guard the surroundings. He then looked down at the mysterious woman in his arms: because of her huge breasts and the fact that he was holding her slender waist tightly, her upper body was leaning back, completely exposing her neckline and revealing the deep Thunder Abyss.

Xiao Yan was really starting to lose his composure.

To be honest, apart from Xiao Li, who sculpts her body using elixirs, this mysterious and powerful woman is definitely the most filial woman he has ever met!

Unfortunately, the other person seemed to be less than 1.7 meters tall, and when Xiao Yan held her in his arms with one hand, she looked like a little girl.

Xiao Yan had a feeling that this senior was probably a member of the Lei Clan.

Of course, this wasn't because of the opponent's powerful lightning, but because Xiao Yan discovered through physical contact that the opponent's physical condition wasn't actually at the level where he could withstand the Black Demon Lightning.

Therefore, the only way for the opponent to maintain their physical body intact amidst the Black Demon Lightning is through cultivation techniques or some special Dou Technique.

Xiao Yan remembered that the Lei Clan had similar methods, so it was a reasonable guess that this woman was a member of the Lei Clan.

Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility that she might be a powerful figure from a hidden sect in Central Plains.

However, now is not the time to think about these things. This senior's condition is really too bad. Although her body is still full of vitality because she spontaneously absorbed the power of the Black Demon Lightning, the weak soul fluctuations really give people the feeling that she could die at any time.

"Senior, please forgive me."

After exchanging a few polite words, Xiao Yan directly placed his finger on the other person's brow to probe their current condition.

"His soul was so severely damaged... yet his body was completely unharmed?"

Xiao Yan frowned, pulled open the large robe covering the other person, and looked at the snow-white, smooth arm that was completely free of any wounds.

In fact, when Xiao Yan used the Heavenly Flames to condense the robe, his soul power had already scanned her entire body.

This senior colleague had absolutely no wounds, not even a single hair on his body.

But then Xiao Yan realized that if the other party was able to absorb the Black Demon Lightning using cultivation techniques or Dou Technique, then it was highly likely that her wounds were repaired in the process.

However, the trauma to her soul was too severe, and coupled with her being in the Void Thunder Pool, a place where she could not call for help from heaven or earth, she could not receive effective treatment and could only eke out a living, hoping that someone would pass by and lend her a helping hand.

Fortunately, because Xiao Yan has had many souls in poor condition around him over the years, he always keeps a lot of pills and spiritual liquids in his Storage Ring to repair soul injuries and restore soul power.

Since this senior's soul power was nearly exhausted, Xiao Yan dared not easily give her any pills, so he took out a bottle of spiritual liquid instead.

This spiritual liquid is made primarily from Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva, supplemented with other medicinal herbs that have healing effects on soul injuries. Its medicinal properties are neutral and mild, making it most suitable for souls that are extremely weak.

To be honest, when Xiao Yan sought this item, he needed to help that old bastard Nalan Jie, whose words were as worthless as farts, to expel the Branding Poison from his body.

Now, Xiao Yan only needs to say a word, Elder Sheng will naturally find this item through the channels of the Danta and present it to him with both hands.

Shaking his head with a slight sigh, Xiao Yan came back to his senses. With one arm around the mysterious woman, he skillfully dripped the spiritual liquid onto her forehead, one drop at a time.

Each drop of spiritual liquid, upon touching her forehead, would enter her soul and consciousness, repairing and nourishing her severely damaged soul.

A full quarter of an hour later, a slightly weak fluctuation of soul energy slowly emanated from the mysterious woman's body.

At the same time, a vast and powerful aura began to gradually awaken within her body, and Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted!

Because he could clearly sense that even with his soul injured and unable to fully exert his strength, the aura emanating from this senior was still much stronger than that of the Old Yao!

In other words, this mysterious woman is actually a Dou Sheng Expert with at least two or even three stars!

This level of powerhouse was not someone Xiao Yan could afford to provoke at present. Therefore, Xiao Yan's muscles tensed up considerably, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart. He casually prepared to throw the opponent away in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

However, Xiao Yan's worries seemed to be somewhat unfounded, because after the mysterious woman lay in his arms for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a little life gradually returned to her dull and empty eyes. Her eyes moved and her gaze gradually focused on Xiao Yan's face.

"Thanks..."

Her lips trembled, and after a long struggle, she finally managed to squeeze out two dry words.

"I'm just glad you don't mind my offense, senior."

Xiao Yan spoke tentatively, with a hint of apology.

He didn't need her to criticize him; if she dared to speak in the wrong tone, Xiao Yan planned to kill her!

Although this mysterious woman is Dou Sheng Expert, Xiao Yan also has the trump card of the Master of Devouring, so dealing with her is a piece of cake!

Upon hearing this, the mysterious woman's gaze sharpened slightly, and she belatedly realized that she was being held in Xiao Yan's arms. A faint blush immediately appeared on her fair face.

Having not spoken for many years, it was extremely difficult for her to speak normally. Therefore, she directly used her soul power to express her gratitude to Xiao Yan:

"It's alright, I should be thanking you. If it weren't for your help today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lasted much longer."
