Chapter 154 Heavy casualties, a scene of utter devastation
"Walk!"
The sixty-three lightning crystals in his body trembled simultaneously, and the immense power of the lightning spirit poured into his Wind and Lightning Escape Technique, increasing his escape speed by another thirty percent.
Almost the instant the thunderclap missed its target, the two of them turned back like lightning and crashed into the black iron "dog cage" behind them.
The seven-star pattern on the cage suddenly lit up, and the double Heavenly Gang Thunder Array rose up in layers, blocking the surging thunder tide outside the cage. Its defensive power was twice that of the horse cage next to it, and it perfectly demonstrated its function at this moment!
Thunder roared outside the cage, while inside it was as silent as an abyss.
Several of the thirty-six lightning crystals pre-embedded in Qin Chengcheng's body had exploded, and the violent lightning energy, approaching the late stage of the third tier, invaded her body's acupoints.
At this moment, she was already critically injured and dying!
If it weren't for the thundercloud that Chen Yi had planted in her soul beforehand, allowing her to regain her senses a fraction of a second faster than others...
If it weren't for the lightning array containing thirty lightning crystals implanted in her body by Chen Yi, which allowed her to withstand the lightning surge for a moment,
She might not even last until Chen Yi rushed forward to save her.
Even so, the terrifying late-stage third-tier lightning power was raging through her meridians and acupoints.
The power of the lightning plasma paralyzed her soul, destroyed her magical power, and was slowly taking away her life.
Everything happened so fast that she didn't have time to react.
On the front lines, the moment she barely regained consciousness, she was enveloped in lightning plasma.
A sharp pain struck, and in the moments before he lost consciousness, he saw a blur of wind and lightning.
And a pair of safe arms held her close around the waist.
That's all she knew.
In times of emergency, expediency is the best policy.
Ignoring everything else, Chen Yi waved his hand to activate the anti-spying array on the dog cage.
Then a pair of hands were placed on Qin Chengcheng's chest and abdomen.
The sixty-three lightning crystals within his body suddenly lit up, and the lightning spirit rune array reversed.
A terrifying suction force was rapidly drawing the power of the lightning paste from various acupoints in Qin Chengcheng's chest, abdomen, and internal organs.
In just a few breaths, the lightning essence in the core of her upper body had been completely absorbed by Chen Yi.
At the same time, Chen Yi's internal system activated, absorbing and digesting the lightning plasma power absorbed into his body.
It is quickly transformed into lightning crystals and stored within the body.
"Eek~"
Qin Chengcheng slowly regained consciousness, the immense pain causing her to emit a soft, nasal sound.
She opened her starry eyes and looked at the bald man in front of her, momentarily dazed.
When a person is near death, their thoughts become incredibly numerous and strange.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Qin Chengcheng's mind.
In the end, it all turned into endless emotion.
Her eyes were wet with tears, and through her blurred vision, she watched Chen Yi's large hands cover all the acupoints on her body.
His face was pale, and sweat beaded on his forehead as he laboriously absorbed the lightning essence from her acupoints.
"How much pain he must be in!"
Qin Chengcheng deeply understood the pain of forcibly absorbing the lightning essence from her body into his own.
She was moved to tears.
Then he saw Chen Yi's hands travel over her entire body, covering almost every acupoint.
Aside from the Huiyin and Tianchi acupoints, which she had previously strictly forbidden him to touch, Chen Yi maintained his gentlemanly conduct and did not touch them.
I could almost touch every inch of her skin.
Chen Yi struggled to absorb the power of the lightning essence in these two acupoints little by little, but because he wasn't directly touching them, the efficiency was very low.
Qin Chengcheng's eyes welled up with tears, and she managed to utter a sound.
"What time is it? Why are you still concerned about the difference between men and women?"
She managed to muster a sliver of her restored magical power, raised one of her slender hands, grasped Chen Yi's large hand, and covered her perineum and Tianchi acupoints.
"In front of the doctor, my body is just flesh and bones. You've gone through so much hardship to treat me, so please don't feel uncomfortable because of the location and clothing."
After Qin Chengcheng uttered this telepathic message, her face was already burning red.
"Anyway, if that doctor were you, I'd be willing to do anything."
Ugh--
"You're the one for me in this life."
Qin Chengcheng's voice was barely audible. After speaking, she closed her eyes.
Her trembling long eyelashes betrayed her inner tension.
Chen Yi was absorbing the lightning plasma perfectly well,
The lightning spirit power within this late-stage third-tier lightning magma is incomparably powerful, far exceeding the power of the previous lightning magma.
In just a few breaths,
All 230 lightning crystals in his body have been collected.
Sweat beaded on his forehead because he was continuing to expand the amount of lightning crystals stored within his body.
Currently, the presence of over 230 lightning crystals is placing a certain burden on his physical body.
Of course, with the improvement of his physical strength, this burden is no longer a significant issue.
Therefore, taking this opportunity, Chen Yi also tried his best to expand the storage of lightning crystals in his body.
This includes replacing all his previous lightning crystals, whose energy was lower than that of this late-stage third-tier lightning slurry.
Performing so many complex operations in such a short time,
Therefore, even with Chen Yi's strength, he would still find it somewhat difficult.
Therefore, they appear pale and have sweat on their foreheads.
Unexpectedly, upon waking up, Qin Chengcheng mistook Chen Yi for someone else, making her treatment extremely painful and difficult.
Before Chen Yi could react,
His large hands were grasped by Qin Chengcheng, who then, without a word, slipped them inside her last remaining piece of thin silk bodice.
They pressed on her three most hidden acupoints.
The indescribable sensation sent a shiver through Chen Yi's heart.
In this life he transmigrated into, he was still a virgin.
The memories in his mind regarding relationships between men and women still exist between his predecessor, Old Chen, and Lady Huo.
But the most beautiful fairy in the Qi Kingdom's cultivation world was lying horizontally in his arms.
Take his hand and let him touch it.
What flashed through Chen Yi's mind was a story from his past life: a certain nerdy loser saved a celestial beauty, and then was subjected to such behavior by her.
This tactile sensation is difficult to describe.
It can only be described as exquisitely beautiful.
This also caused Chen Yi to become somewhat distracted for a moment.
Therefore, he was a little slow in dealing with the last three acupoints.
Finally, after several dozen breaths, Chen Yi, his face pale and sweat beading on his forehead, withdrew his hand.
It can be said that more than 95% of the lightning essence that invaded Qin Chengcheng's body has been completely absorbed.
The remaining bit, perhaps while invading her body, had already mixed with her magic and flesh.
It requires long-term, gradual treatment and cannot be resolved in a short period of time.
"alright."
Chen Yi gently stroked Qin Chengcheng's exquisite face.
I woke her up from her pretense of sleep.
"Ah~ Chen. Cough, Xu Jiu, thank you. You saved me again."
again?
Chen Yi was still wondering if Qin Chengcheng had regained her memories and remembered the previous soul restriction.
The next moment, the fairy in his arms spoke again:
"However, you touched my entire body today and saw my innocence, so you have to take responsibility, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi was taken aback:
"Huh? Didn't you say that doctors don't distinguish between men and women, only flesh and bones?"
I also paid attention to etiquette.
And it was you who grabbed my hand and covered it,
You can't make me responsible for this, can you?
"Scumbag!"
Qin Chengcheng spat out a curse under his breath.
The next moment, before Chen Yi could react,
The beauty in his arms suddenly wrapped her slender arms around his neck, and with a slight pull,
Her whole body swayed gently, and her beautiful face drew closer quickly.
A pair of starry eyes were less than an inch away from Chen Yi's eyes.
The two had only a fraction of a second between their lips.
At the last moment, Qin Chengcheng stopped, spoke softly, and exhaled a fragrant breath:
"It will only take a breath to restore you to your original form."
"No, it's too crowded outside, it's inconvenient."
Chen Yi shook his head.
Disappointment flashed in Qin Chengcheng's eyes.
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
Chen Yi added another sentence.
Qin Chengcheng's starry eyes brightened again, and then she hugged Chen Yi tightly, burying her head in his neck.
The stunningly beautiful face was pasted onto Chen Yi's bald face.
She let out a long, satisfied sigh.
to be frank,
It's impossible for Chen Yi not to be moved by such a fairy-like figure from the cultivation world, who so readily throws herself into his arms.
For a fleeting moment, he wanted to cast everything aside, return to his original appearance in this cage, spend the night with her, and complete the great task of reproduction.
However, it was only a momentary impulse.
Chen Yi regained consciousness.
The cultivation world is in turmoil, and outside, a terrifying thunderstorm is still raging.
Life and death are separated by a single thought.
In such a crisis, he must be fully focused on responding.
It's not the time for him to fall in love yet.
"Fairy, you are still weak. Take good care of your injuries first. We can talk about the rest later."
"Um."
Qin Chengcheng nodded gently, her eyes fixed on Chen Yi, unwilling to close them.
"You rest here and relax, I'll go out and take a look."
This dog crate is still too small.
Chen Yi sat holding Qin Chengcheng, and Qin Chengcheng also curled up her legs.
There has been little change since then.
Currently, the thunderstorms and tsunamis outside are gradually subsiding.
Chen Yi's divine sense dissipated, revealing a look of shock.
The situation outside is absolutely dire!
After the thunderous tide receded, the third floor of the Inheritance Hall was left in a mess.
The air was filled with the smell of burning, the ground still bore the unburnt gold thread from the sole of a certain genius's boot, and the walls were covered with crystallized marks from a lightning strike.
Qi Wuba's Flame Spirit Armor shattered into pieces of fire, his body covered in shimmering lightning, revealing numerous patches of charred flesh.
Ning Bu'er slumped against the wall, his body crackling with lightning, too weak even to stand up.
Within her soul, that demonic thought became completely bound to a certain core part of her soul.
She felt despair and even worried that even if she begged for death, she might not be able to extinguish that demonic thought, and might instead help it.
Although Young Master Ji and Qiu Li were not injured, they each used up their precious life-saving trump cards.
The one-time life-saving jade pendant bestowed upon Qiu Li by her master has turned to ashes.
Young Master Ji paid the price of almost the same treasure.
Such soul-type talisman treasures, capable of withstanding mid-to-late stage third-tier soul lightning attacks, are also extremely precious.
Even with his wealth, he felt extremely distressed.
The young monk and Zuo Shouqing were in the best condition, but they still suffered serious injuries. The young monk's body crackled with lightning, and half of his body was charred by the lightning surge.
His left hand held the sword energy around him, which had been dwindling. He stood in the corner, his sword intent almost completely shattered and unlikely to be able to regroup in the short term.
For a long time to come, he lost his biggest trump card for survival.
Qi Wuba and other Qi Kingdom prodigies not only lost their defensive magic treasures, but were also seriously injured and on the verge of death.
The two prodigies ranked last were Gong Quan, who was nearly dead, and Liu Yonghe, whose protective treasures had already been used earlier in the rankings.
This time, it was swallowed by the thunder tide and burned to ashes, leaving not even a complete corpse.
Qi Yourong, Qi Yunxi, and Feng Qingjun, however, survived and were not seriously injured because they rented Chen Yi's horse bridle.
Although the cage couldn't completely withstand the bombardment of the lightning tide, all thirty-six lightning crystals exploded, and the cage was submerged by the lightning tide.
However, it also blocked most of the lightning surge's damage, leaving the three with only minor injuries.
The only thing that remained intact on the entire three-story building was the dog cage in the corner.
And Chen Yi, who is now standing next to the dog cage.
The crowd was in low spirits, and for the first time, the cultivators from Zhongzhou restrained their arrogance.
Only then did they realize the terrifying nature of the Ancient Thunder Soul Sect—once the Soul Thunder was unleashed, there was no way to dodge it, and anyone who encountered it would surely die!
Conventional defensive measures are useless against soul lightning; only special lightning-based techniques or top-tier soul-protecting magic treasures can withstand it.
Chen Yi, the only rogue cultivator who hadn't used up his life-saving trump card, was standing in the corner, his gaze calm and solemn.
The sixty-three lightning crystals within his body slowly circulated, and the lingering effects of the Wind and Lightning Escape technique still flowed around him.
These past few months have been spent diligently practicing Wind and Thunder Escape and various Thunder Spirit Body Refinement and Thunder Spirit Soul Refinement techniques, all for this moment.
Chen Yi looked around at the horrific scene outside and was deeply shocked.
He was also filled with lingering fear.
If they had listened to Qiu Li and rushed to the front to take risks instead of cultivating Wind and Thunder Escape,
Therefore, at this moment, he is very likely also injured!
Previously, the soul lightning fluctuations emanating from the entire mysterious third-level space were accompanied by a purple lightning bolt appearing within Chen Yi's soul.
Fortunately, thanks to his previous tempering of his divine soul with lightning, he unleashed most of the power within the divine soul thunderclouds, blocking it.
However, this also took half a breath.
If he were on the front lines of the minefield, he would encounter the first wave of lightning.
At that time, he didn't have any life-saving treasures like Qiu Li and Ji Wuchen.
At that time, he will need to rely entirely on his physical strength to endure the pain, just like the little monk.
Although he has a stronger defensive capability against the thunder tide, he cannot say that he will not be injured.
At that time, Chen Yi might only be injured, but Qin Chengcheng, who was also on the front line, was probably too busy to save him. She might die here, just like that unknown prodigy.
Like Chen Yi, several other prodigies who still possessed strength were also inspecting the entire third floor and the condition of the other prodigies.
next moment,
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
Qiu Li fled to Chen Yi's side. Although Qiu Li was unharmed, all her life-saving trump cards were destroyed.
Her once flowing skirt was scorched by the lightning, and her disheveled hair was interspersed with lingering purple lightning.
She maintained a haughty demeanor, but the slight trembling of her fingertips betrayed the shock she had suffered.
Seeing Chen Yi, the only one in the entire venue who was completely unharmed, her face showed anxiety:
"Xu Jiu. What about Chengcheng? How is she?!"
Just now, at the last moment, she faced a life-or-death crisis for the first time in her life.
In the chaos, upon regaining his freedom, he immediately paid the price by using the Thunder Step technique to escape.
In the instant she fled, she was overwhelmed with regret.
It's done!
Without her trump card to protect her soul, Qin Chengcheng would certainly not escape this calamity.
At the last moment, she did not save her best friend who had protected her when she was a child when she was being beaten by a mob.
And at the very last moment before she escaped the thunder tide...
A flash of wind and thunder escape light appeared in her forcibly opened divine sense.
The beam of light moved at an extremely fast speed, weaving through the tide of lightning.
Then, appearing where Qin Chengcheng was covered by the lightning tide, the Wind Release: Azure Release was expanded to its maximum, enveloping Qin Chengcheng.
Then another flash of lightning took the person away.
now,
The thunderstorm has passed, and the entire venue is a mess.
The prodigies were either dead or wounded; each paid a heavy price.
After Qiu Li woke up, the first thing she did was to ask about Qin Chengcheng's condition.
Seeing Qiu Li's genuine concern, Chen Yi didn't say anything sarcastic.
He was about to tell the other party that Qin Chengcheng was safe and sound.
And at this moment,
The dog cage behind Chen Yi opened, and a stunningly beautiful figure emerged from it.
"Sister Qiu Li, I'm fine."
Upon hearing the sound, Qiu Li turned around in surprise, only to find that Qin Chengcheng was completely unharmed, except for being somewhat weak.
There wasn't even a scratch on my head!
She naturally had no idea that in just a short time...
Chen Yi has already extracted over 95% of the lightning essence from Qin Chengcheng's body that caused her severe injuries.
You can't tell from her appearance that the raging thunderous liquid inside her is there.
She was astonished; Qin Chengcheng's condition had surpassed that of all the cultivators present.
Even better than her and Ji Wuchen,
Second only to Chen Yi, that old turtle hiding in the back.
What's going on here?!
She clearly remembered that Qin Chengcheng was overwhelmed by the thunder tide, and that she offered almost no resistance.
