"Arou——"

The whistling wind made Chen Xiao's voice unclear. He leaned forward, tilted his head back, and shouted until he was exhausted, almost suffocating.

"Ah Rou -- Ah Rou --"

A faint voice was heard from another direction. Chen Xiao couldn't hear it clearly and didn't know whether it was Tong Nonuo or Sariam who was shouting.

But no matter who it was, at this moment, the only way to turn the tide of the battle was to wake up Tang Ru. So Chen Xiao gathered all his strength and continued to call out to Tang Ru.

Amid the deafening thunder, the voice was so faint, but it firmly reached Tang Ru's ears, causing her brows to twitch slightly, and a hint of confusion revealed in her numb eyes.

Wu Xuzi was immersed in the pleasure of hunting down the man on Lonely Mountain and did not notice this scene.

Otherwise, no matter how small the cry was, they would never let Chen Xiao and the others continue.

Wu Xuzi might not have lied about other things, but he concealed the truth about Tang Ru.

He wanted to use sweet words to deceive Tang Ru, but unfortunately, the simpler the heart of a person is, the purer their understanding of power is.

Tang Ru stubbornly believed that only what he cultivated himself belonged to him, and any shortcuts would come at a price.

Wu Xuzi was so angry that he captured Tang Ru. Although he was powerful, he could not make Tang Ru surrender.

However, in order to transform the spiritual roots, people with wood spiritual roots must cooperate willingly, otherwise the chance of failure is very high.

Wu Xuzi made a bet with Tang Ru. If Tang Ru won, he would let her go, otherwise she would have to cooperate with Wu Xuzi in the experiment.

Tang Ru had no choice but to accept Wu Xuzi's conditions, but in the end she lost.

Wu Xuzi wanted to give the Poison Spirit Pearl to Tang Ru, but found that she already had her own magical weapon.

In order to make the Poison Spirit Pearl exert its full power, Tang Ru must destroy his existing natal magic weapon.

Wu Xuzi ruthlessly destroyed Tang Ru's natal magic weapon.

This inevitably caused serious damage to Tang Ru, both in terms of soul and spirit, making it impossible for Tang Ru to withstand Wu Xuzi's brainwashing spells as if he was controlling other people.

Wu Xuzi had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and use another spell to replace brainwashing.

The control effect of this spell is not very good and it is very troublesome, requiring long-term uninterrupted casting.

But in order to ensure the health of this important treasure that was crucial to his ascension, Wu Xuzi had no choice but to endure the trouble.

But now, Wu Xuzi was in a hurry to hunt down the man from Lonely Mountain. Although the thunder that kept striking his head was dispersed by the Sky-Clearing Vine, it still made him feel uneasy and nervous, and his control over Tang Ru was intermittent.

"Hahaha - Hermit of Lonely Mountain, Elder Pi has already set out on his journey. It's too lonely to travel alone, so I'll send you on your way to keep him company."

Wu Xuzi's attacks became more and more intense, and the people on Lonely Mountain were filled with despair.

The previous dictatorship and cruelty made the popularity of the man on the lonely mountain drop to the bottom. There were still people nearby who were lucky enough to survive, but no one thought of saving him.

Perhaps because his resentment was too deep, the man on the lonely mountain stopped running away. He turned around, and strong spiritual energy burst out from his body, which even stirred up the air to form a small cyclone.

There was madness in the eyes of the man on Lonely Mountain, and his voice was shrill: "Wu Xuzi - this is too much!!!"

After saying that, he rushed towards Wu Xuzi.

"Want to self-destruct?" Wu Xuzi's expression changed, and he used his hands and mouth to guide the formation to change. A part of the Sky-lifting Vine that served as a lightning rod was withdrawn from the sky and woven into a huge lightning rod between Wu Xuzi and Lonely Mountain Monk.

"Even if I can't survive today, I will drag you down with me!!" The man on Gushan Mountain blew himself up. He first blew up his Dantian and then his Nascent Soul.

The power of the self-detonation of a cultivator in the out-of-body stage is enough to turn a city into a huge pit, and the energy is comparable to a thunderbolt.

However, the energy from the self-detonation of the man on Lonely Mountain was pure spiritual power, and the Sky-reaching Vine could not conduct the energy to the earth and disperse it like electricity.

Wu Xuzi was blown to pieces, and what was even worse was that he lost most of his Sky-lifting Vine, causing a gap in the circular shield, making it impossible to divert all the thunder away.

Wu Xuzi no longer has the energy to be distracted. He must devote all his energy to dealing with the thunder.

"Let's go now!" This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Xi Yunting held Chen Xiao in his arms, Jing Hui carried Tong Nuonuo, and they all ran towards the outside of the robbery cloud at the same time.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Wu Xuzi immediately discovered these fish that had escaped the net. Taking advantage of the gaps between the thunderbolts, he manipulated the branch vines on the main vine and stabbed towards the figure flying on the ground.

The fact that he possesses the Poison Spirit Pearl must not be known to the outside world.

Even if this action would make him somewhat passive when the next thunderbolt came, he was determined to destroy all these people at the Weeping Cliff.

In his expectation, even if these people were not pierced into a human string, they would be struck into charcoal in the next thunder.

Unfortunately, things did not develop as he expected. Although the branches on the main vine were moving, they did not pierce the person on the ground, but instead seemed to wrap around him.

Wu Xuzi was a little confused at first, but then he reacted and looked down. He saw the short girl floating a little lower to his side, looking at him coldly.

Although his eyes were still as cold, there was no numbness in them, but instead they were filled with anger and hatred.

"!!" Wu Xuzi's eyes widened in shock. He had almost no time to say anything before the remaining main vines all rushed towards him, trying to trap him.

Wu Xuzi was almost going crazy. Tang Ru actually lost control at this time.

While he used his true energy to push away the branches that surrounded him, he screamed at Tang Ru: "You are crazy! Do you know that you will kill us all?!"

"When you were using people for experiments, did you ever think about the retribution you would receive today?!" Tang Ru shouted with red eyes, "My friend once taught me that those who do evil will eventually perish! Heaven and earth know what you have done, and heaven will naturally punish you. Today! Your death has come!!"

After saying this, Tang Ru no longer gave Wu Xuzi any chance to save himself. With a grim expression, she raised her hand and formed a magic circle.

As if responding to her, there was a loud "boom" in the sky, and a dazzling dragon of light flashed down and landed on the Sky-supporting Vine. It was transmitted along dozens of main vines and directly led to Wu Xuzi's vicinity.

Wu Xuzi was blocked from all directions, and had no way to escape. Because he had been too pretentious before, he had used up most of his true energy to activate the magic circle.

As a result, he suffered the backlash from Tang Ru and didn't even have the strength to resist.

“Ahhhhhhh——” Wu Xuzi screamed, and his body was instantly burned black by the lightning.

The arrogance and pride had long disappeared, and now Wu Xuzi was left with only fear. "Come back..." He stretched out his hand like a carbonized dead branch to grab Tang Ru, trying to regain control of the situation but failed.

"Save me..." Wu Xuzi finally despaired and begged for mercy from Tang Ru in a weak voice.

How could Tang Ru possibly have mercy on such a scum?

At this moment, she seemed like a tool in the hands of Heaven, constantly drawing in thunder and then releasing it.

The lightning mercilessly left scorch marks on her body, but she was unaware of it.

It was as if a dam had been opened to release floodwaters, and it was also as if the robbery cloud knew how to press on and attack, and began to strike again and again.

Huge lightning bolts struck one after another. The Sky-reaching Vine, which was no longer under control, lost its function as a lightning rod and caught fire uncontrollably.

Wu Xuzi was silently annihilated into ashes in the mighty power of heaven. The thunderbolt, having lost its target, stopped. However, the ignited flames jumped and stirred up waves.

"A Rou!!!" Chen Xiao shouted, his eyes searching around anxiously.

The petite figure could no longer be seen in the sky, and they didn’t know what happened to Tang Ru or whether he was still alive.

Xi Yunting, who was carrying him, was moving faster and faster, getting farther and farther away from the Youyan Cliff. Chen Xiao had no choice but to give up this futile search.

The fire spread quickly. The heavenly fire caused by the thunder was not ordinary. It could even burn the Sky-reaching Vine, let alone ordinary vegetation.

The giant pillar in the vine forest caught fire, and the entire Throbbing Cliff was on fire.

The flames shot up into the sky, and the huge flames burned for seven days and seven nights before they were extinguished. The smoke and dust swept across half of the Amur Sky Realm.

The area within hundreds of miles of the Youyan Cliff was reduced to scorched earth, and the Yanxia Cliff was covered with a thick layer of ash.

All crops in the fields below the city were lost, and the red flowers and green leaves that decorated people's homes were withered by the scorching heat wave.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the people in Yanxia Cliff were immortal cultivators, they would have panicked at first but later calmed down after being comforted by the people in Zhishi Hall. With such a big disaster, Yanxia Cliff would have become an empty city.

Three more days passed, until the temperature returned to normal, the smoke in the air was no longer choking, and there was not so much floating ash, Zhishitang organized a large number of people to go to the Youyan Cliff.

The Council of Elders was completely overthrown in this catastrophe, and masters died or fled. A power vacuum appeared in Yanxia Cliff for a while, and Zhishitang would naturally not miss the opportunity to take charge of a heavenly realm, so he took advantage of the situation and presided over the overall situation.

At this time, the entire Yanxia Cliff was in a state of confusion, and they were eager for someone to come forward, regardless of whether these people were local forces.

Zhishitang organized these people, on the one hand to clean up the mess and conduct a carpet search for the names of the dead; on the other hand, to clean up the burned ground and restore vitality here.

This place is too close to Yanxia Cliff. If left unattended it will soon become a desert, which will in turn affect Yanxia Cliff.

Chen Xiao and his group followed these people.

This was the first time he came here after the incident. Seeing the scene, Chen Xiao was shocked.

What does "hundreds of miles in radius" mean? It means that wherever you look around, all you can see is the charred remains of the fire.

It can be said that except for the colored clothes they wear, there is only black, gray and white in the world.

The cracked stones and carbonized leaves on the ground shattered into pieces with the slightest touch.

The tree trunks that were burned into black and bare still maintained their growth shape, standing tall, silently telling of desolation and emptiness.

It is hard to believe that this place was lush and green with birds singing and flowers blooming just ten days ago.

Chen Xiao looked at the scene in front of him, hugging his shoulders and shuddering.

He couldn't help but turn around and ask Xi Yunting: "When a cultivator fails to advance, will it cause such a catastrophe?"

"No, this is a special case. Usually the thunderbolts are only directed at the immortal cultivators, and the immortal cultivators will try their best to resist them, and the two forces will offset each other. If the promotion fails and they don't make it through, the thunderbolts will dissipate and will not affect the surrounding environment." Xi Yunting said.

Chen Xiao thought, this is more like it. If the damage caused by a failed promotion is so great, the people in the Tianjing world are too unlucky. They have to suffer unexpected disasters from time to time.
