Chapter 259: He Who Appeared In Time
Huangfu Qingjue!
At present, countless lightning sparks flowed into Huangfu Qingjue’s body. He was helping Ling Chuxi withstand the baptism of this eighth strike of heavenly lightning.
“What are you doing? This is heavenly lightning that strikes and alters the body! You won’t be able to withstand it!” exclaimed Ling Chuxi in surprise as the emotions in her heart became a mess.
“Could it be that you don’t know this? Only the ninth strike of the heavenly lightning is the true body-altering lightning. The eight strikes before that are just tests of heavenly might,” explained Huangfu Qingjue as he turned his head ever so slightly. His calm voice contained a slight tremble and his handsome face was pale. Obviously, the power of this heavenly lightning strike was hard to withstand, even for him.
“Ugh... Stupid heavens. I’m going to fight it out with them!” roared Ling Chuxi in anger. Despite being stunned at her own outburst, she proceeded to draw the Luo Chen Sword and slashed at the pillars of lightning engulfing them! The few heavenly lightning strikes before this one had already made her unable to withstand much more and now the eighth strike was one that even Huangfu Qingjue found hard to withstand! Much less her! Plus, going through all this counted for nothing yet as only the ninth strike was the true Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body! These old heavens really wanted her life!
The moment the sword was brought out, Ling Chuxi realized that this heavenly lightning was actually so strong that even the first seven strikes of heavenly lightning combined together were not comparable to it. No wonder even Huangfu Qingjue seemed to be strained under its might.
Mid-air, lightning was falling like rain, merging into that one singular strike of heavenly lightning bearing down on them.
Huangfu Qingjue groaned and his body trembled slightly. A trace of blood trickled out from the corner of his lips.
It turns out that this was the real power of Heavenly Lightning Striking The Body. It was no accident that so many prior geniuses had fallen victim to this heavenly lightning.
‘No! I absolutely cannot let anything happen to Huangfu Qingjue!’ At this moment, Ling Chuxi felt angry, anxious and worried in her heart.
Ling Chuxi wielded the Luo Chen Sword once more and gathered the strongest Battle Qi within her body and slashed downwards once again. The lightning surged across the sword, and there was a loud noise. A surge of thunder and lightning full of destructive qi surged towards Ling Chuxi along the length of the sword.
The Luo Chen Sword trembled vigorously, as if it were making a noise no one could hear. Under the power of such devastating thunder and lightning, cracks appeared on the Luo Chen Sword’s blade which made it look like it could be broken apart into a pile of scrap iron at any time.
Suddenly, the Luo Chen Sword emitted a delightfully clear cry. Emitting a bright starry light, the cracks in its blade recovered quickly and the blade’s sheen became as clear, cold and bright like as a pool of water in autumn.
The endless might of thunder and lightning poured into the sword. Ling Chuxi suddenly had a strange feeling that within the body of the sword, there seemed to be a jubilant cheer. As if a soul that had been in a long, deep sleep was awakening.
Immediately afterwards, a white light that made the heavens and earth lose color exploded from the sword and shot towards the scary-looking shocking lightning.
Amidst the loud noise, a strong current of air swept across the grounds. Ling Chuxi’s figure trembled and she was unable to hold on any longer as she fainted.
In the blur of her vision as it slipped away, it was as if there was a warm hand gently stroking her cheek. A clap of thunder rang out across the distant sky, and then a faint blue light surrounded her once more. Was this the ninth strike of heavenly thunder? It did not seem to be as violent as the ones before, instead, it was as soft and warm as a clear spring. Her whole body felt warm and somewhat uncomfortable. All the pains in her body disappeared and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed.
After an unknown period of time had passed, Ling Chuxi opened her eyes again. There was no blood on her body, and the condition of her clothes was different as well. The moment Ling Chuxi opened her eyes, she saw that Huangfu Qingjue’s handsome face was pale. Seeing Ling Chuxi awakening, Huangfu Qingjue displayed a faint smile.
“It’s great that you are fine,” said Huangfu Qingjue as another stream of blood trickled down his chin from the corner of his lips again.
