Chapter 436: Chapter 280: Like Divine Punishment_3

Raindrops gently tapped the ground in a rhythmic pattern.

Along with this tranquil sound, Qing Yuan’s mind also calmed down.

Beside the street, washed clean by the rain, stood a lone wooden table.

It seemed to be forgotten here.

The table surface was wet from the rain, its edges revealing the grain of the wood more clearly due to the moisture, showing signs of age.

A few leaves with raindrops on them lay lifelessly on the table. Rainwater pooled into small puddles around the table legs, reflecting the dim yellow streetlights and the occasional shadow of a passerby.

The flag bearing "Chen Banxian" that should have hung by the side was missing, and the fortune-telling man from that day was also gone.

This was expected by Qing Yuan.

After all, today was not a day suitable for setting up a stall outside.

But this also left Qing Yuan somewhat disappointed.

His feelings were conflicted; he was both afraid to get closer and yet yearned to do so.

Now having received such a result, he felt both secretly pleased and disappointed.

Looking at the table in front of him.

Qing Yuan didn’t know what to do next.

Perhaps he could go to the police, explain the situation, and seek a more powerful strength to help him find that person?

But then again,

Qing Yuan didn’t think others would believe what he said.

What was most important was,

even if he used another reason to have the police help him locate the person, if Chen Banxian truly possessed something supernatural, looking for him in this manner would undoubtedly offend him.

But if he didn’t call the police,

he was just one person, and couldn’t do anything alone.

All he could do was wait endlessly here, waiting for Chen Banxian to appear again.

Silent,

Qing Yuan felt a bit bewildered.

He discarded his umbrella,

letting the rain drench him.

Looking up at the gloomy sky, he fell into deep thought.

Why did he so want to approach that person?

Was it due to a biological instinct’s curiosity towards the unknown?

Was it to find out if he could become supernatural?

Or was it something else?

Qing Yuan didn’t know.

But suddenly a familiar sensation of being watched swept over him, resembling the feeling of being observed by Chen Banxian that day.

Before Qing Yuan could immerse himself in this unusual feeling,

the scene before him immediately diverted his attention forcefully back.

The sky before him

seemed to grow brighter and brighter...

Until a blinding light struck the wooden table in front of him from the clouds.

Only then did Qing Yuan realize,

it was a formidable flash of lightning, which completely carbonized the wooden table.

It also evaporated part of the surrounding rainwater instantaneously.

Qing Yuan’s heart raced uncontrollably within his chest, as if trying to break free from the confines of his flesh to resonate with this astonishing natural force.

He stood there numb, overwhelmed by an indescribable shock that filled his whole being.

Then, the sound of thunder rolled in, rumbling like thousands of horses galloping, deafening as if the entire world were applauding this spectacular moment.

In an instant,

it seemed like only an overpowering buzzing remained in his ears.

Qing Yuan could even feel the ground slightly tremble.

The power of the lightning was not just in its instant release of energy but also in the terrifying impact of both visuals and sound it delivered.

The immense noise pulled Qing Yuan out of his daze, having narrowly missed the massive bolt of lightning.

The air was filled with the scent of scorched earth and ozone, direct evidence of the thunder tearing through the atmosphere.

He slowly shifted his gaze from the destroyed wooden table to the surroundings, knowing that the residual effects of the lightning were still present.

Trees in the green belt swayed, trembling in awe of this irresistible force. Many people, drawn by the thunder, began to gather around.

As the buzzing in his ears gradually subsided,

Qing Yuan’s thoughts also started to normalize, and he immediately understood what had just transpired.

That terrifying flash of lightning had not hurt him,

but it had struck right in front of him.

The force felt almost like a divine punishment!

Qing Yuan swallowed hard.

Recalling that familiar feel of being watched, he suddenly realized where this incredible power might have come from.

The desire to approach the extraordinary,

had imperceptibly faded a bit.
