"Boom!"
While the pills were still being refined here, the battle had already begun in the void above. Between heaven and earth, terrifying bolts of lightning continuously descended, fiercely striking Yan Bing. However, Yan Bing neutralized each lightning strike with the most powerful and domineering methods.
In the Ancient Wilderness City below, everyone looked up at the scene in the sky. It was hard to imagine that the terrifying lightning, which was like a colossal beast supporting the Holding Up the Heavens, would be repeatedly dismantled by a human whose size was tens of thousands of times smaller. Eight-Star Half-Emperor was truly terrifying!
To stand against the might of heaven and earth with the strength of one person—such overwhelming power is rarely seen in the world!
"Tsk tsk... So this is Eight-Star Half-Emperor? To be able to dismantle such a terrifying Pill Lightning in one move, truly terrifying!"
"Hey, he's more than just Eight-Star Half-Emperor. Elder Yan Bing is an elder of the Sea Cloud Palace, and his strength has reached the Peak of the Late Eight-Star Half-Emperor Stage —a true powerhouse. Someone with his level of strength is probably close to reaching the true Dou Di level!"
" Dou Di, wow, truly remarkable. Such a powerful figure is a top-tier expert who can intimidate even the entire continent!"
"Alas~ I wonder when we will be able to cultivate to the level of Senior Yan Bing!"
Seeing the breathtaking scene in the sky, sighs of admiration rippled through the crowd below. Eight-Star Half-Emperor was indeed incredibly powerful, far surpassing the realm of ordinary strongmen. And High-Level Half-Emperor like Yan Bing was even more unparalleled. No wonder these people were so amazed.
However, compared to what the crowd below saw, Yan Bing, high in the sky, saw two completely different outcomes.
At the beginning, Yan Bing was indeed powerful and domineering. He could almost shatter the Pill Lightning with a single palm strike. Every time he unleashed a palm strike, the Pill Lightning that came towards him, no matter how powerful or terrifying, would explode and dissipate under Yan Bing's palm. It has to be said that his aura was truly earth-shattering!
However, as time went on, the thundercloud above Yan Bing's head showed no sign of dissipating. On the contrary, the power within it grew stronger and stronger, with the power of each strike of the Pill Lightning increasing exponentially. Although Yan Bing could still defeat his enemy by force thanks to his powerful Dou Technique, he eventually could not withstand it after a while.
"Boom!"
With three consecutive strikes, Yan Bing finally shattered the Pill Lightning bolt that was almost in front of his chest. However, his upper body was now completely numb. The power of the lightning was rushing through his meridians, leaving him powerless.
The stinging pain, like being pricked by needles, could no longer be suppressed. At this moment, even moving a finger felt incredibly difficult for Yan Bing, and both arms were completely useless, as if they didn't belong to him.
"Hiss..."
Yan Bing's originally indifferent face now showed a deeper solemnity, and his icy blue eyes also rippled slightly. The power of the thunder had made him unable to remain as composed as before.
"Sizzle..."
A thunderous roar resounded, and Yan Bing twisted her neck to look up. The thunderclouds began to churn again, boiling like water. A crack appeared in the thunderclouds, and then the heavens and earth trembled as an even more terrifying Pill Lightning crashed down, striking Yan Bing directly below.
Seeing this, Yan Bing's lips twitched violently. He hurriedly tried to control his almost numb arm, his Dou Qi surging in his palm, trying his best to get rid of the numbness in his body. At the same time, he clenched his fist and threw a punch at the oncoming lightning!
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, before the thunder had even dissipated, Yan Bing was sent flying backward, covered in a disheveled state, plummeting rapidly towards the Void Plaza below.
Looking at the lightning again, although it had weakened somewhat, its power remained undiminished. After a slight pause, it crashed down again, chasing after Yan Bing and striking her chest!
Upon seeing this, even though Yan Bing was cold-hearted, he instantly abandoned his indifference for the sake of his own life, and hurriedly turned to shout at Old Monster Hu in the void:
" Old Monster Hu! Quickly, make your move! Stop this Pill Lightning strike for me!"
Seeing this, Old Monster Hu smiled coldly. He neither made a move nor spoke, but just looked at Yan Bing with a mocking smile, standing in the void without offering any help.
When Yan Bing saw that Old Monster Hu was ignoring him, he was immediately shocked. He knew that no one could help him now, and he could only rely on himself to resist the Pill Lightning with all his might!
"Hmph! I'm not easily intimidated. Do you think I'm afraid of a single Pill Lightning?"
With a roar in his heart, Yan Bing's face regained its previous cold and indifferent expression, and his mind immediately calmed down. With a thought, his Dou Qi surged out of his body, forming a solid armor of ice on his body.
After doing all this, Yan Bing was still a little uneasy, so she simply poured out all the Dou Qi in her body until she completely froze the void in front of her before being hit by the thunder!
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the world was instantly enveloped in thick clouds and mist. The Pill Lightning dissipated, the armor dissipated, but Yan Bing continued to fly backward, then crashed uncontrollably onto the stone platform next to Mo Zhai. Mo Zhai was so startled that he almost jumped up. If Yan Bing had hit the medicine cauldron with that blow, he would have wanted to strangle Yan Bing to death.
" Old Monster Hu! Are you deliberately courting death?!"
A moment later, Yan Bing finally got up in a panic, forcibly expelled the lightning power from her body, and turned around to coldly curse Old Monster Hu, who was still standing in the void.
If this were the beginning, Old Monster Hu would have been somewhat wary of Yan Bing. But now that things have come to this, he has no scruples. This advantage was Yan Bing's own doing, but in the end, he suffered a loss, and it has nothing to do with Old Monster Hu. However, Old Monster Hu is, after all, an old monster. These things are best left unsaid; there's no point in saying more. On the surface, though, things still need to be said.
"Hehe, I was so focused on seeing Brother Yan Bing's impressive figure that I didn't catch what you said. I thought you were joking. I hope you won't take offense. Next time, I'll definitely step in and save you from this predicament!"
Hearing Old Monster Hu's tone, Yan Bing narrowed his eyes. Being an old hand, his cunning was no less than Old Monster Hu's. He nodded with a forced smile, but then immediately snorted coldly and shouted:
"Hmph! You think there will be a next time?"
Upon hearing this, Old Monster Hu chuckled twice, but did not reply. Instead, he looked up at the still menacing thunderclouds in the sky.
No matter how much the two of them argued, they still had to help Mo Zhai in the end. Right now, they should suppress their anger, calm down, and focus their attention on the Pill Lightning together. That was the important thing!
