No one has ever heard such violent thunder.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine dazzling silver arcs hit the frail Nascent Soul in the forest with great precision. In less than half a second, the white Nascent Soul turned into ashes amid the deafening sound.

Fly ash.

Pei Zhengdao, a master of swordsmanship of a generation, head of the Evergreen Sword Sect, possessing the inheritance of the Sword Immortal, and known as "the best sword in the world", has just fallen!

"Now, you can go back...to protect...the Lord..."

Looking at the annihilated ashes under the divine thunder in a daze, Jin Yu, who returned to her original lolita figure, smiled palely, and then fell forward while her body continued to shake and tremble.

"Sister Jin Yu!"

Xia Lianxing, who was not far away, saw this and knew that the terrible method she had just used was beyond her body's load, so she quickly turned into a purple light and flashed over, hugging her with both arms.

"Cat Cat...I'm tired."

Having used the super-level holy method, she could no longer bear the numbness and stinging pain in her body, which was like electric currents. The intense discomfort made her consciousness gradually blur.

"It's okay! I'll take you back to find the master right now!"

"……Uh-huh."

She responded vaguely.

Xia Lianxing struggled to carry her behind her back, and temporarily took back the giant sword stuck in the ground for her.

"It's so light... It seems that I, I need to hurry up."

Jin Yu was small in size, which allowed Xia Lianxing, who had little strength, to carry her smoothly.

But she understands that in this state, they don't even need to meet another killer of Pei Zhengdao's strength. Just a random team of Nascent Soul monks will come, and the two girls will be captured and killed directly.

.

The situation was urgent, and the goal of flying in the air was too big, so she could only choose to travel by land as quickly as possible.

A rough calculation shows that it will take at least four or five days to return to Tianshan from here. And my master has already begun to overcome the tribulation. Normally, regardless of success or not, the total time for a monk to overcome the tribulation will not exceed half a month.

"There is no time to waste."

The girl made up her mind and immediately recited the magic formula silently:

"Shadow Spirit Technique·Invisible at night."

Dark purple spiritual power spread out from her body, bringing with it a thin transparent force field that enveloped her and Jin Yu on her back in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, if someone observes from a third party's perspective, they will find that the figures of the two women disappeared in an instant like an illusion!

This is exactly the auxiliary spiritual method that Xia Lianxing improved through the "Shadow Walking Technique" - "Curtain Technique".

That is to say, the target's figure is hidden together with one's own by covering it with spiritual power. The application technique is very advanced.

She originally thought that she would be able to use this trick when she went on missions with the three generations of spirit envoys in the future, but unexpectedly, she actually used it on Jin Yu today.

After everything was ready, she opened her tight legs without a trace of fat and walked forward as quickly as possible.

Time passed by minute by second, and one could feel that Jin Yu was very weak on her back. The girl knew that as long as she successfully brought her back to Jinghua Palace, the master and her seniors would be able to cure her.

At least, it's much safer than in the wilderness.

The whole journey was silent.

After confirming that there were no pursuers behind him, Xia Lianxing began to think while moving forward.

First of all, she couldn't analyze why such a powerful enemy like Pei Zhengdao could come to attack them with clear goals. But with the Purple Lightning Spirit Root, she could use the sure-kill method she just used against Jin Yu.

But even now I still have lingering fears and am extremely concerned.

"It's so scary... what I just heard was indeed the rumored 'Heavenly Thunder'."

The girl walked swiftly and thought to herself as she ran:

“Since ancient times, the lightning spiritual power can only be used by the top spiritual roots of Yang’s ‘Golden Thunder’ and Yin’s ‘Purple Lightning’ spiritual roots...

Sister Jin Yu's body must be a holy beast, and it is not unusual to have the Golden Thunder Spiritual Root.

But why can she control the ‘Heavenly Thunder’?

That is obviously the super-level energy that appears when monks go through tribulations... You can't encounter it at ordinary times, right...? Moreover, it is too much to use this kind of extraterrestrial power at will... no matter how you think about it...

"

"etc……"

Xia Lianxing thought about it and suddenly realized a certain possibility.

The next breath, her figure suddenly froze! A look of horror flashed in the cat's eyes.

No, it won't.

If, if that's really the case,

Me...compared with them, how can I...

"Well..."

Jin Yu, who was lying on her back with her eyes closed and drowsy, seemed to feel her stagnation and murmured like a conditioned reflex:

"Mao Mao...why...stop...?"

A moment of silence.

I don't know how long it took before I heard the girl's somewhat unusual voice.

"Sister Jin Yu, I have a question for you."

I saw Xia Lianxing standing next to a thick ancient pine in the forest, quietly turning her head to look at the blond loli on her back.

"Ah...why suddenly..."

Jin Yu struggled to open her eyes and responded feebly.

However, when she saw Maomaotou looking so concerned, she quickly had some idea of ​​her doubts, and she cheered up and said:

"Well, you ask."

"Sister Jin Yu, did your Heavenly Divine Thunder... get it when the master went through the last tribulation?" She got straight to the point.

"What you want to ask about is about the 'Tian Lei Spiritual Root'."

The blonde loli panted slightly, not surprised by the girl's question.

"Tian Lei Spiritual Root?"

Xia Lianxing has never heard of this name.

She had read countless ancient human books in the Hidden Star Palace of the Lingyue Sect, and even browsed the super precious and thick "Tiancang Continent Spiritual Root Examination", but there was absolutely nothing related to "Tian Lei" in her impression.

Spiritual root attributes.

"Yeah. It's super evolved."

Seeing her frozen in place, Jin Yu forced a smile and explained:

"Similar to Shui Lian's 'Rain Spirit Root', Suzaku's 'Fire Spirit Root', and Ling'er's 'Sand Spirit Root', it is a super-level spiritual root that needs to mutate under certain special conditions."

"But, it's thunder..."

"I know what you want to ask. Since you are curious about this and have that idea about the master, I will tell you what you should understand."

"ah……"

Xia Lianxing was shocked when he heard this, and was about to say something when he saw that Jin Yu had already steeled herself, and recalled in a low voice with a bit of pain in her eyes:

"The spiritual root mutation actually happened hundreds of years ago, when the master failed to overcome the tribulation for the first time."

"Eh?! Failed..."

"Obviously it's just a small heavenly tribulation. A normal monk only needs to withstand ninety-nine thunderbolts. However, my master, for fifteen consecutive days, was struck by nine thousand divine thunders with complete preparations."

"Wha, what?!!"

Hearing these words, Xia Lianxing's pink cat eyes were full of horror. It was not difficult for her to imagine what it would be like to be struck nine thousand times by the kind of thunder that Jin Yu used just now!

A horizontal comparison shows that Pei Zhengdao, who possesses the final stage of divine transformation, cannot even withstand a divine thunder! But the master of Dzogchen cultivation has to face nine thousand…

hiss.

"More than that."

Jin Yu's voice was a little hoarse:

"When the master and I both thought that the tribulation would be successful after the end of the nine thousand divine thunders... the last blow was made by nine hundred and ninety-nine lightning strikes at the same time."

"..." Xia Lianxing opened her mouth, looking at her with a faint hint that her suspicion was about to be confirmed.

"The master at that time was already dying. It was obvious that he could no longer bear a divine thunder. Facing this nine hundred and ninety-nine times the power of heaven, whoever it was, would probably be wiped out in ashes."

"..."

"Well, you've probably guessed it."

"At the last second, I didn't listen to him."

——

"I disobeyed orders and stood in front of him. With the determination to die, I took the nine hundred and ninety-nine lightning strikes for him."
