Chapter 716: Before the Person Arrives, Thunder Strikes

"Chu Yang!!!"

Zhou Zida screamed out.

It was strange. Chu Yang, this little bastard, was in danger. He should have been happy about it, yet now his heart felt like it was being squeezed, as if a knife was cutting through it.

Zhou Zida was fighting desperately against the surrounding warriors.

He wanted to save Chu Yang!

He wanted to save this little bastard who had walked with him, conquering the martial world without a rival!

But it was no use. He was too weak now.

A warrior swung his fist, and in an instant, Zhou Zida was knocked to the ground!

Zhou Zida shouted, "Heaven’s will! Are you blind?! Can’t you see they’ve killed so many people?! They should be punished! Don’t turn a blind eye!"

This only caused the warriors to laugh.

They were all at the Qi Refining stage. How could there be any divine punishment for them?

But soon, their laughter stopped.

The sky darkened again, thick with dark clouds. Thunder snakes spread across the sky, and thunder rumbled.

This thunderstorm was much stronger than the one summoned by the temple’s head earlier.

They stopped caring about Chu Yang and quickly huddled together.

"What’s going on? Could it really be divine punishment?"

"We’re all at the Qi Refining stage. How could there be divine punishment?"

"Then why is the sky suddenly changing?"

"..."

They were all extremely alarmed.

A Taoist looked at the thunderclouds and asked, "Master, did you quietly draw another Heaven Thunder Talisman?"

The master’s face darkened, "The Heaven Thunder Talisman is difficult to draw. The one earlier used all my energy. How could I draw another one?"

The Taoists began to speculate. Could it be that these warriors had killed too many people, causing divine punishment to truly descend?

Boom!

Before they could think further, a bolt of thunder struck down at them.

They quickly grouped together, using their spiritual energy to resist.

But this time, the thunder was several times more powerful. Without the leader’s energy, they were unable to withstand it.

In an instant, they were charred black, and the smell of burnt flesh filled the air. Dozens of them were scattered, falling in all directions.

Some were dead, while others were severely injured.

But one person managed to dodge in time when the thunder struck.

The thunder hit the others, but he remained unharmed.

For the sake of survival, he grabbed Chu Yang and ran toward the foot of the mountain.

Strangely, the thunderclouds followed him, and the sound of thunder continued to rumble.

But curiously, the thunder did not strike him.

The warrior suddenly realized, "Could you be the child of Heaven’s will? If I carry you, the thunder won’t strike."

He said, laughing a few times as he held Chu Yang even tighter.

Chu Yang was also surprised, but with all his strength drained, he couldn’t struggle.

However, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the front, "If you don’t have any eyes, that’s my fourth brother!"

Someone!

And they were flying on a sword!

Before the warrior could see clearly, a figure quickly swept in and grabbed Chu Yang.

He froze, and instinctively looked up at the sky.

Sure enough, the thunder didn’t hesitate and struck down.

Its power was so fierce that not only did it turn his bones into dust, but it also scattered his soul.

The smoke cleared.

Nanli stood at the top of the long staircase, ensuring that all the evil people from Chuyun Temple were dead before lowering her right hand, which had been making signs.

Her left hand was holding Chu Yang.

Chu Yang didn’t need to look up to know that it was his sixth sister who had come.

He was overjoyed. "Sixth... sixth sister..."

He managed to say a few words before coughing up blood.

"Fourth brother!" Nanli’s face was full of anxiety, and she quickly carried Chu Yang back to the base of the archway.

She opened his sword box and laid him flat, quickly checking the wound on his chest.

When she opened his clothes, the wound was long and deep, flesh and blood exposed, with fresh blood continuing to seep out.

Although it hadn’t reached the heart veins, it was still serious.

Nanli took out a mid-grade Wound-Healing Pill and made him swallow it.

As soon as the pill was consumed, the bleeding stopped.

Zhou Zida, who was also badly injured, could only look at Chu Yang with envy.

After all, he didn’t have a good little sister.

This was a mid-grade Wound-Healing Pill! After Chu Yang took it, he would only need to rest for ten days or so to recover.

But then, Zhou Zida saw Nanli take out a pen.

Her hand moved quickly, and soon she had drawn a talisman.

The talisman glowed with golden light and landed on Chu Yang’s body. To Zhou Zida’s astonishment, the wound began to heal slowly.

"This... this..." Zhou Zida’s eyes almost popped out. "What kind of talisman is this? It’s so powerful! Why not draw one for me as well?"

Nanli turned her head and furrowed her brows, saying, "You’ve only got a minor injury. You’ll be fine in a few days. No need for it."

Drawing this Wound-Healing Talisman consumed a lot of spiritual energy.

Zhou Zida said, "Eh, why are you so heartless? I was protecting your fourth brother earlier!"

"Don’t think I didn’t notice. You were just shouting from the sidelines," Nanli said, rolling her eyes at him.

Zhou Zida was at a loss for words. "If I didn’t shout, how would you know where we were?"

He continued to argue.

Nanli said irritably, "Fourth brother has my Protection Talisman. Even if you didn’t shout, I would still know where he was. Please get that through your head."

Zhou Zida was completely speechless.

However, Nanli, seeing that he wasn’t running away, threw him a mid-grade Wound-Healing Pill.

"No need, no need. My injury doesn’t require a mid-grade one. A low-grade one will be fine," Zhou Zida quickly waved his hand.

"I only refine mid-grade ones. I don’t have low-grade ones," Nanli replied.

If not, why would she give Zhou Zida a mid-grade one?

Zhou Zida was stunned. "What... what?"

He looked at Nanli again, and only then did he realize that in such a short time, she had advanced to the Golden Core stage!

He almost vomited blood.

What’s going on?

His brother had been cultivating Fire Cloud Spell for less than a year and reached Base Building, which was already impressive enough.

But his sister’s progress was even more amazing.

"You... You weren’t even at the Qi Refining stage before. How did you suddenly reach Golden Core?" Zhou Zida couldn’t understand at all.

He had planned to take revenge on her once he made some progress, but now the gap between them was so huge that he could completely abandon those thoughts.

Nanli replied, "Because I already had an inner elixir."

Zhou Zida was even more confused.

They were all freaks.

But his mood sank even further. "I’m just a waste."

Nanli didn’t comfort him.

At this time, the head of Chuyun Temple came forward, looking overjoyed. "Is... is it the Ninth Princess?"

He bowed to Nanli.

Nanli quickly returned the bow. "Indeed, I have arrived late. I hope the master will not blame me."

Many of Chuyun Temple’s disciples had been harmed.

Her heart was heavy.

The master shook his head. "The young hero has arrived, and has already turned the tide. We have escaped a great calamity. The Ninth Princess should not blame herself. There is a small temple ahead. I don’t know if it was raided. Please, Ninth Princess, go check."

"There are Qi Refining warriors over there, but I’ve already summoned the Heaven Thunder to destroy them. It’s not a big issue," Nanli replied.

The master was astonished. "That Heaven Thunder earlier was actually summoned by the Ninth Princess?"

Before the person arrived, the thunder struck down?
