Lightning in the Firmament

Qian Shange’s energy discharge created a vortex in the sky, startling people stiff in place. “Now no soul energy will leak out,” Qian Shange muttered to himself as he conjured an energy column down, incarcerating everyone within his makeshift cage.

The vortex spat out a violent lightning bolt, reinforcing the barrier in lightning.

“I guess we really are done,” Daoist Yun Dan uttered, unable to imagine something so freaky was possible.

Even Shi Dengtian was shocked Third Heaven Palace could pack such a punch, let alone everyone else.

Sorry, Shifu, Cai Lie inwardly said, watching Yao Wuji, who was busy preparing a rank seven pill, spiritual energy leak pill, prepared in one hand.

As everyone was fixated on the white lightning, Yao Wuji quickly consumed a rank seven nine swirls pill and focused his enhanced spiritual energy on a poisoned blade he had. A poison Ku Mu concocted was bound to reach every nook and cranny of the victim in mere seconds and kill within fifteen minutes. Even Shi Dengtian’s Body Synthesis Realm cultivation could not save him from Ku Mu’s poisons.

“Wait, is Shifu…” Cai Lie’s brain rapidly tried to process Yao Wuji’s sudden thrust aimed at Shi Dengtian’s chest, eyes brimming with the determination to kill.

Wan Shuiyao picked up on Yao Wuji’s hostility and caught Yao Wuji’s hand stiff.

“Damn it!” cursed Yao Wuji, livid he could not thrust it just one more centimetre to finish Shi Dengtian.

“You escaped Divine Soul Formation’s control?” Wan Shuiyao twisted Yao Wuji’s arm beyond what the latter’s limb would allow, breaking Yao Wuji’s arm and then stung Yao Wuji’s chest with a palm blast.

Yao Wuji dyed his beard and robe in injustice as he staggered backwards, winded.

“Shifu!” Cai Lie howled from inside the light prison, unable to go to his shifu’s aid.

“Third Heaven Palace’s lapdogs, catch!”

Pill Cauldron Formation Seal ejected from Daoist Yun Dan’s hand on its own, fusing with the physical kilometre hovering at a towering one kilometre. Formation lines emanated from Daoist Yun Dan, covering those siding with him before they could process what was going on.

A wave of qi parted the clouds from below, gusting up a tornado, sweeping those with Shi Dengtian off their feet and shredding them. Boom! The qi vanquished the lightning in the firmament in one go, continuing toward the vortex. Black rifts showed up on the turbulent canvas for a second as the qi slashed through the sky.

From an undulating void, Mu Yu stepped out and caught Yao Wuji’s fall. “I’ll take over from here, Alchemist Yao.”

Relieved to see Mu Yu, Yao Wuji uttered in an airy breath, “Tell Cai Lie that I’m proud of him… If only I could tell him the truth…”

Yao Wuji spewed blood once again as his head flopped back, and his vision turned to darkness.
