The bolts of electricity generated by these Kui Oxen were extremely fast. Although they could not compare with lightning in nature, they still traveled at hundreds of meters per second, shooting out of the white mist and lashing toward Chen Jue like whips of lightning.
Had he been on the ground, Chen Jue could have used his extraordinary reflexes to enter a high-speed response state akin to bullet time, then powered his legs to evade these slow electrical attacks.
But he was flying through the air now, his movements restricted, leaving him unable to dodge in time!
In that split second, Chen Jue instinctively opened his mouth and roared. The sonic killing move [Tiger Roars in the Mountains] blasted downward in a ring of sound and surging air. It dispersed the mist below while altering the paths of some of the leaping bolts, and the resulting reaction force also pushed him upward faster.
At that same moment, Chen Jue swung both arms sharply, beating his wings upward to accelerate out of range of the lightning strikes.
Yet several lightning whips still surged up and struck Chen Jue's legs, spreading over his entire body through the Aerospace Combat Suit's metal exterior.
Fortunately, the Aerospace Combat Suit had a double-layered structure, and lightning protection had been considered during its design. Although the outer layer was woven from flexible, highly conductive metal, the inner layer incorporated insulating materials.
The electrical attack only made Chen Jue feel a slight heat outside his body. His legs in particular grew scorching hot, as though burned by fire, but he did not suffer the paralysis of an electric shock.
After taking that first wave of lightning strikes, Chen Jue beat his wings several times and climbed to an altitude of over a thousand meters, while the Kui
