Chapter 768: Let the Heavenly Lightning Strike Me
After Yun Chujiu collected the remaining remnant souls, she chased the people in front of her and ran toward the exit.
After running for four days and four nights, they finally reached the exit of the ancient sword tomb. At that time, the ground was still collapsing, and the Purple Heavenly Lightning did not let up. Although the purple heavenly lightning strikes were very random and not very concentrated in a specific area, however, everyone’s nerves were tensed up for four days and four nights. They were on the verge of collapse.
Everyone began to feel that the ancient sword tomb was probably a trap because according to common sense, the ancient sword tomb should only appear every hundred years or so. This time, it appeared ahead of schedule and began to collapse. There had to be something fishy going on here.
After four days and four nights of running, less than half of the cultivators had already lost their lives, and the survivors were mostly cultivators with high-level spiritual power. Some of the cultivators with low-level spiritual power had only survived because they had the protection of high-level cultivators.
The elders of the Spirit Radiance Sect were protective of their sect members. They had acted promptly to shield some of their disciples, so there were relatively few casualties.
However, the thing they feared the worst had happened! The exit had already disappeared, and it was now completely enveloped by the barrier just like everywhere else.
Some cultivators frantically began to use their spiritual power to attack the barrier. The result was as expected. This was an ancient great array, so their attacks were completely ineffective. Moreover, due to the loss of their spiritual power, they were no longer able to resist the heavenly lightning. Some of them were struck by lightning and turned into ash.
Yun Chujiu gritted her teeth. Although I’m not a saint, I can’t just watch these people being electrocuted to death, especially the people from the Spirit Radiance Sect.
Yun Chujiu said to Di Beiming, “Prince Charming, I’m going to be a lightning rod and attract the lightning strikes. Don’t worry, this lightning can’t do anything to me.”
Di Beiming nodded. Although he didn’t want Yun Chujiu to put herself in danger, the current situation meant there was no alternative. If more people survived, they may help find a way out.
Yun Chujiu cleared her throat. “Hey! Everyone, listen up. I’ll try to anger these heavenly lightning bolts and make them attack me. You guys stay away from me.”
Hearing Yun Chujiu’s words, everyone was dumbfounded.
The elders of the Spirit Radiance Sect understood what she meant. They knew that Yun Chujiu, this little gremlin, had endured several hours of lightning strikes. The people from the other factions were at a loss.
Although they heard that Yun Chujiu had a Heavenly Thunder Spirit Root, if all that heavenly lightning struck her, she would be reduced to ashes in no time. Was this little girl crazy?!
Moreover, these heavenly lightning strikes would not listen to you. Why would they all attack you alone?
Some people were selfish and naturally wished that Yun Chujiu would be struck in their place, some people were kind-hearted and could not bear it. “Little girl, although I heard that you have the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Root, that much heavenly lightning is not a joke! It’s better for all of us to split up than for you to carry it alone.”
“That’s right, little girl, now is not the time to act tough. Don’t mess around!”
“That’s right! Little Girl, we are thankful for your kindness but you don’t have to take the risk.”
Yun Chujiu’s heart warmed. It seemed that there would always be good people no matter when and where they were. She smiled brightly. “Everyone, don’t worry. I naturally have a way to attract the heavenly lightning’s attention. Moreover, I will be fine. You guys just have to be careful not to fall into the cracks on the ground.”
Everyone was skeptical. However, seeing that the elders of the Spirit Radiance Sect were not very worried, they muttered in their hearts, could it be that this little girl really had the ability to withstand lightning strikes? Then let’s watch first. If the little girl was in danger, those two young masters with great spiritual power would not sit idly by..
