Lightning Rushing Thunder Fist!

Bai Yushan took a step back.

The little girl took a step forward.

Bai Yushan took another step back.

The little girl took another step forward.

"Hey, what exactly do you want?"

Bai Yushan stopped, planted his hands on his hips, and glared at the little thing.

The little girl said nothing, only looking up at him. Her mouth opened, but no sound came out. Tears welled in her eyes. Her little hands rose and fell, fell and rose, until she finally grabbed the hem of Bai Yushan's clothes.

Bai Yushan narrowed his eyes.

Why did this feel so much like a scene that only appeared in novels?

"I-I... I..."

Just as the little girl grew so anxious she did not know what to say, a gentle voice came from beside them:

"Na'er, why did you run all the way here?"

Bi Ji suddenly appeared from somewhere, anxiously reaching out to hug Na'er.

Her emerald hair drifted in the twilight, her aqua dress swaying gently with her steps. Her stunning face was filled with anxiety, her eyes brimming with the relief of recovering what she had lost. She hurried toward Na'er, spreading her arms to gather the little girl into her embrace.

But Na'er shrank like a startled rabbit and darted behind Bai Yushan, her little hands clutching his clothes as though grasping a lifeline.

Bi Ji froze mid-motion.

Her arms remained spread, the relief on her face turning to helplessness, then from helplessness to bitterness.

She looked at Na'er hiding behind Bai Yushan, her lord who had lost all her memories after taking human form, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Na'er, it's me. Don't you remember me?"

Bi Ji's voice was soft and gentle, as though coaxing a frightened fawn.

Na'er peeked half her head out from behind Bai Yushan, looked at Bi Ji with her amethyst eyes, then ducked back again. Her grip tightened until Bai Yushan's clothes were pulled out of shape.

Bi Ji sighed.

She tried taking a step forward.

Na'er immediately took a step back, shrinking entirely behind Bai Yushan until only a few strands of silver hair showed.

Bi Ji was helpless.

Her lord had completely lost her memories after taking human form, making even approaching her somewhat difficult. Bi Ji had spent the entire day searching outside and had finally found Na'er here, only for Na'er to avoid her and hide behind an unfamiliar little boy.

Bi Ji did not know whether to laugh or cry.

She looked at the little boy and was just about to say something.

Just then, Bai Yushan looked at Bi Ji with excitement, asking in a tone full of certainty:

"Hey! Lady, you're the human trafficker, aren't you?!"

Bi Ji blinked blankly. "Huh?"

"What do you mean, huh?!" Bai Yushan laughed loudly. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?!"

His eyes were wide and round, flames of excitement burning in his pupils. His mouth stretched into the widest grin, revealing a set of white teeth, his face covered in a crazed smile.

He had waited all day!

From afternoon until dusk, from dusk until nightfall-he had finally found the human trafficker!

Bai Yushan gave Na'er a gentle push. "Stay out of the way!"

His hand landed squarely on Na'er's shoulder, the force neither too strong nor too weak, just enough to push her three steps away.

Na'er stumbled and landed on her bottom, staring at Bai Yushan's back with her amethyst eyes wide.

Electricity surged!

Countless currents began dancing over Bai Yushan's body. Blue-white arcs sprang from his skin, racing wildly over him. His hair stood up, every strand on end, like a bristling hedgehog. The currents puffed out his clothes, making them flap loudly.

Crackle!

Crackle!

The dancing currents sounded like ten thousand birds crying, making the surrounding air tremble.

He clenched his right fist, and all the electricity surged toward it. Blue-white light gathered over his fist, growing brighter and brighter, more and more blinding, like a tiny sun.

The thousand volts coursing through his entire body were compressed into this one punch!

Bai Yushan stepped forward, cracking the ground beneath his foot. His body shot out like a cannonball, his fist hurtling toward Bi Ji's face.

"Lightning Rushing Thunder Fist!"

His fist carried raging currents, blue-white arcs trailing a long tail through the air. The fist tore through the air with a piercing whistle. Electricity broke through the air, spreading the smell of ozone.

The punch was swift and vicious, heading straight for Bi Ji's face.

Bi Ji frowned slightly.

She neither dodged nor retreated, merely raising one hand and flicking her pale, slender fingers.

"Ting."

A soft sound rang out.

Her finger flicked Bai Yushan's fist.

Emerald light bloomed from her fingertip, like a tender spring shoot breaking through the soil, like ripples spreading across a lake. The green light collided with the blue-white electricity, producing a sizzling sound.

Bai Yushan felt as though his fist had struck a wall.

A wall cast from steel.

His fist stopped in midair, unable to advance even a fraction. Electricity danced wildly over it, desperately trying to burrow into Bi Ji's body, but the emerald light held every current outside like a shield.

Bi Ji looked at Bai Yushan, a trace of surprise in her eyes.

Her finger flicked again.

"Bang!"

Bai Yushan went flying backward. He tumbled several times through the air before crashing into a roadside trash can. His body left a deep dent in the sheet-metal can, sending trash flying out and scattering across the ground.

Bai Yushan slid down the trash can and landed on his bottom in the pile of garbage.

His fist was still numb, his entire arm trembling. The electricity faded from his body, and his hair fell flat again, lying in a tangled mess on his head.

"Ow, ow, ow..."

He shook his hand and cried out, baring his teeth in a grimace.

But the next instant, his eyes lit up again.

"You're so strong!"

He climbed out of the garbage and brushed vegetable leaves and scraps of paper off himself. His eyes fixed on Bi Ji, flames burning even more fiercely in his pupils.

"Are all human traffickers this strong?"

The corners of Bai Yushan's mouth stretched into a crazed grin.

Electricity began dancing over his body again.

This time, the currents were denser, faster, and more violent than before. Blue-white arcs leaped wildly over him with deafening crackles. His hair stood on end again, and the currents puffed out his clothes.

Four thousand volts, five thousand volts!

"Wahahaha! Power! It just keeps pouring out!"

Laughing maniacally, Bai Yushan kicked off the ground, his body turning into an afterimage as he charged at Bi Ji.

"Lightning Fist!"

"Rushing Thunder Fist!"

"Lightning Rushing Thunder Fist!"

Bai Yushan's attacks fell as densely as a rainstorm, punch after punch, kick after kick, with no sign of stopping. His body whirled wildly around Bi Ji, attacking from every angle. Electricity danced over his body, burst across his fists, and flashed at the tips of his toes.
