Chapter 105

Wang Xian 'er jumped and screamed like a child. She was extremely excited.

Zi Chen was also very excited. After escaping for so long, they had finally reached their destination. The Lightning Region was right in front of them.

After escaping for so many months, how could he not be excited when he finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel?

As the two of them moved forward, the heavenly might became stronger. Wang Xian 'er's body emitted a faint red glow to resist the pressure. Due to her serious injuries, she had difficulty moving forward. Her beautiful face was very pale.

On the other hand, Zi Chen's body was strong and his injuries were light. Comparatively, he was in a better condition.

"Rumble!" "Rumble!"

Thunder rumbled as lightning dragons danced in the air. The deafening sound traveled for more than ten miles.

After moving forward for a few miles, the heavenly might became even more terrifying. At the same time, the rumbling sound became louder. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

The surroundings were dead silent. There were no plants, birds, or flowers. There was only the rumbling sound of thunder. There were no birds in the sky, no beasts on the ground, and no signs of life. It was like a dangerous place.

"This is the Lightning Region?"

Looking at the Lightning Region ahead, Zi Chen's eyes were filled with shock.

It was said that the Lightning Region was formed from a corner of the Lightning Shrine that was knocked off. In Zi Chen's imagination, it was at most a few hundred meters wide. However, the Lightning Region in front of him was more than ten miles wide. Furthermore, it was shining with silver light. Lightning continued to wreak havoc. Lightning snakes danced wildly and made earth-shattering sounds.

The lightning had no beginning and no root. It would never dissipate. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Bolts of lightning were wreaking havoc.

This was a mysterious and extraordinary place. The lightning was dazzling, like the roar of an angry dragon.

Although the Lightning Region was right in front of them, it seemed to be in another space. No matter how the lightning wreaked havoc, it couldn't escape this space. It was as if there was a huge transparent light shield that isolated the lightning. No matter how the lightning wreaked havoc, it couldn't escape.

They were still a thousand meters away from the Lightning Region, but Wang Xian 'er couldn't take it anymore. She could barely move her body. Facing the heavenly might with her serious injuries was very difficult.

Zi Chen was better. He didn't feel any discomfort yet. However, the overwhelming pressure made him feel very uncomfortable.

"This place is filled with lightning. Where are the strong cultivators?"

Zi Chen looked around. It was empty. There was only a huge Lightning Region.... It was dozens of miles long, like a crouching thunder dragon.

"The true experts are all refining weapons inside."

Wang Xian 'er shouted. But as soon as she finished speaking, she started coughing lightly. Her injuries were very serious.

The power of the heavens was hard to fathom, and the thunder and lightning were very terrifying. It was like an electric snake wreaking havoc, and its power was peerless. When Zi Chen saw it for the first time, he gave up the idea of absorbing the thunder and lightning to temper his body. At the same time, for the first time, he had doubts about the Heavenly Thunder Reshaping Technique.

The reason for that was because the might of the lightning was simply too vast.

He was even more shocked when he heard that there were experts refining weapons inside.

"There are no experts in the outside world. Are we going to go in?"

Zi Chen's expression changed. The Thunder Territory was filled with thunder and lightning. If he entered, he would have to face thousands of thunder and lightning attacks. Not to mention him, a mere True Energy Boundary martial artist, even if a True Energy Boundary martial artist came, they would be instantly annihilated.

"There's no other way now. We can only go to the edge of the Lightning Region and wait there to see if there are any experts. Furthermore, we have to be the first to discover the experts who are here to obtain the power of lightning before the Zephyr Realm experts arrive." Wang Xian 'er gritted her teeth and said.

"How can this be?"

Zi Chen was completely dumbfounded. He thought that he would be saved once he saw the Lightning Region, but now, he had to try his luck.

If there were no experts refining weapons here or passing by, the two of them would definitely die.

"Alright, then we can only go all out." Zi Chen was not a hesitant person, let alone when it was a matter of life and death. He gritted his teeth and prepared to go forward.

At this moment, several figures appeared on the horizon. They were all masked and dressed in black. Their eyes were cold and filled with killing intent. They appeared with weapons in their hands, and under the sunlight, their weapons gleamed coldly.

Their faces were gloomy, and their expressions were almost the same. Step by step, they walked towards the Lightning Region. Their steps were firm, just like their killing intent.

"Oh no, the people from the Assassins Pavilion are here." Zi Chen exclaimed and went forward with Wang Xian 'er.

Weng!

Streaks of red light emerged from Wang Xian 'er's body and protected her, making her appear illusory and ethereal.

The pressure of the thunder and lightning was too terrifying. Wang Xian 'er, who was severely injured, was having a hard time resisting it.

Zi Chen was in a better state. He pulled Wang Xian 'er and walked towards the Lightning Region.

The two of them were about a thousand meters away from the Lightning Region. Now that the masked men had arrived, the two of them had no way to retreat. Hence, they increased their speed.

"You guys are good at hiding. You actually ran to the Lightning Region."

"Entering the Lightning Region means certain death. However, I'm afraid that the two of you won't be able to enter in your current state. Don't worry, wait for us at the front.

We'll send you off immediately, "the masked men behind them said coldly.

Along the way, they had fought several intense battles. Zi Chen had always been with Wang Xian 'er and even blocked a few fatal attacks for her. Hence, he was also wanted by the Assassins Pavilion.

"Shameless boasting. Come at me if you can. A bunch of cowards who can't see the light of day." Zi Chen replied coldly and continued to move forward.

When they were only a few hundred meters away from the Lightning Region, Wang Xian 'er could no longer hold on. She coughed out a mouthful of blood and her face was even paler.

"Leave. Don't bother about me." Wang Xian 'er pushed Zi Chen weakly. She was very weak and her beautiful face was pale.

"What are you talking about? You protected me with your life that day. How can I abandon you and leave today?" Zi Chen held on tightly to Wang Xian 'er.

Weng!

At this moment, streaks of silver light emerged from Zi Chen's body. They were like tiny electric snakes that flowed along Zi Chen's arm and entered Wang Xian 'er's body. Zi Chen was only in the True Qi Realm. He couldn't condense his True Qi out of his body and could only pass it along his arm.

Streaks of True Qi flowed like water and entered Wang Xian 'er's body. Following which, they flowed to the surface of her body. They were very pure and warm like water. In an instant, Wang Xian' er's body was shining with silver light.

The terrifying pressure of the thunder and lightning was blocked outside. The uncomfortable feeling disappeared instantly.

"You …!"

Wang Xian 'er was shocked. Zi Chen was only in the True Qi Realm. Yet, he was able to block the pressure of the thunder and lightning that even she couldn't withstand. At the same time, what made Wang Xian' er change her expression was the energy in Zi Chen's body. It felt as though he was one with the thunder and lightning.

Along the way, Wang Xian 'er realized that Zi Chen was getting more and more mysterious. It was as though there were layers of fog covering him. After dispersing one layer of fog, another layer of fog would appear. She couldn't see through him at all.

Wang Xian 'er's voice was drowned out by the thunder and lightning. Zi Chen didn't hear her. At this moment, the two of them were less than five hundred meters away from the Lightning Region.

The masked men followed closely behind. Their bodies were shining brightly as they resisted the pressure of the thunder and lightning. They weren't injured and were very strong. They could withstand the pressure and move forward. However, they weren't as relaxed as Zi Chen.

"Hang in there, kid. Don't let us catch up to you. Try to enter the Lightning Region. Otherwise, your life will end today."

"If you offend the Assassins Pavilion, you have no other choice but to commit suicide."

Zi Chen ignored them. The silver light on his body was getting brighter. The terrifying pressure of the thunder and lightning seemed to have stimulated his body. His Sky Thunder Reshaping Art was circulating faster, releasing streaks of thunder and lightning energy.

In the end, the two of them stopped a hundred meters away from the Lightning Region. On one hand, the pressure of the thunder and lightning was getting stronger. On the other hand, the masked men didn't chase after them. They were three hundred meters away and their speed was getting slower. Beyond two hundred meters, it was difficult for them to move forward. It took them a long time to take a step forward.

"Hmph, these guys are persistent." Zi Chen turned around and snorted when he saw the masked men.

The masked men took a long time to take a step forward. However, they didn't give up and were closing in.

Zi Chen and Wang Xian 'er sat hand in hand. The latter was recovering from her injuries. Zi Chen looked at them coldly.

"I'm not leaving. I'll wait for you guys here. Let's see what you can do."

"A bunch of scoundrels who can't see the light. Don't die under this pressure. I'm still waiting for you to kill me."

"Hey, hey, the scoundrel at the back. You're too slow. Hurry up and catch up. I'll wait for you here."

Zi Chen was a hundred meters away. He was constantly making sarcastic remarks to provoke the masked men.

"Brat, you may be stubborn now. Let's see how you'll die later!"

"You're digging your own grave. When I catch you later, even if you kneel on the ground and beg me, it won't make a difference."

"Even if you kill your companions to make up for your mistakes, it won't work."

The masked men gritted their teeth.

As time passed, the masked men slowed down. During this period, Zi Chen advanced another fifty meters as a precaution.

He kept making sarcastic remarks to provoke the masked men.

Every time he called them young masters, the masked men were going to explode from anger.

They were True Energy Realm experts who specialized in assassination. They didn't care about those of the same level. But today, they were humiliated by a mere True Energy Realm brat.

Feeling humiliated and angry, the masked men kept advancing. But when they were a hundred meters away, they couldn't withstand the pressure of the lightning and stopped. They were fifty meters away, and naturally, they weren't willing to give up.

During this period, both parties didn't stop. Instead, they continued to bicker and greet each other. The masked men were furious and didn't want to give up. Hence, they activated their sword radiance and attacked Wang Xian 'er.

Tsk!

The sword radiance was like a rainbow, piercing through the air. It was a pity that before it could reach Wang Xian 'er, the sword radiance couldn't withstand the pressure of the lightning and dissipated instantly.

Streaks of sword radiance pierced through the air. They were dazzling and dazzling. But like fireworks, they dissipated at the fastest speed.

"What's wrong? You feel bad after chasing me all the way here. Now, you're setting off fireworks for me. Not bad, not bad!"

"That firework isn't nice. It's not beautiful at all. You should set it up in the sky. This is good."

A streak of sword radiance exploded in front of Zi Chen.

"Good, good, good. That's it. Not bad!"

"Number one, you did the best. Number two, you can't do it. Put on some expression when you attack and give me a smile … As for the youngest, you'd better go home and drink milk. I didn't ask you to release a single sword radiance for so long."

"En, the youngest is not bad. After holding it in for so long, you actually released a big one. Looks like you really treated it as a fart. Haha, not bad."
