Looking at the two drops of blood on my hand, I felt even more physically uncomfortable.

It felt like a sudden splash of blood on me.

But there are clearly two drops each.

But it made me want to hide away, to escape this place as much as possible.

I thought of that ancient man, and the little bit of blood that spurted from his neck when he was on the verge of death made me very worried.

And now that this guy is still alive, the blood on him makes me even more wary.

If this is his way of resisting me, it's very likely that it's the only way he can get close to me.

With that thought in mind, I quickly had the lightning sword strike my hand with its lightning.

When Lei Jijian saw the blood on my hand, he seemed to understand immediately.

Then, I mustered all my strength and gently guided a very soft light to my fingertips.

The next second, the two drops of blood on it fell down exactly the same way as before.

It hit the ground and even corroded the surface, which shocked me.

So, blood can corrode inanimate objects directly. Does that mean it only takes longer to take effect when it's on my hands?

Fortunately, the lightning sword forced those two drops of blood out. If they had remained on my hand, I don't know what strange consequences might have occurred.

The next second, I looked at the fat man, and he clapped his hands too.

Then he put his hands together and slammed them hard against the ground.

After smashing it, he was so shaken that he took half a step back.

I carefully sensed my surroundings, feeling a sense of tension in my heart. Could it be another earthquake?

But after about two or three seconds, no furniture around us shook, only some slight vibrations.

I turned around and looked at the girl with some confusion. She was staring intently at the mural, seemingly worried about the current situation.

I quickly asked her if she had any unusual reaction. The girl must have seen the fat man smash the ground.

She quickly told me that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her.

Just as the girl finished speaking, the fat man spoke up!

"Do you still dare to fight?!"

His words were all very hoarse and echoed loudly within the mural.

I was stunned by what I saw, as if I were watching a 3D movie.

The sound echoed in my ears, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

After the fat man finished speaking, the echo had probably disappeared.

I felt a lot of dirt and debris fall around me, and then the whole house started shaking violently again.

Good heavens, you damn thing, you didn't hesitate at all!

If this continues, we're doomed!

Now, even a casual strike he makes inside can have this kind of impact on us.

If we wait until he actually comes out, I reckon we'll be completely powerless to reverse the situation.

With that in mind, I quickly had the girl observe the entire situation.

I punched him hard in the chest again, but it seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

It was only then that I realized he had just taken a step back, creating some distance between us.

Or rather, no matter how I attack, I can't touch him anymore.

As for the Thunder Strike Sword, I don't know how it will turn out.

When I tried to unleash the Thunder Strike Sword again, it told me that its energy was now in an overheated state.

I was a little puzzled. Lei Jijian, what are you saying?

Having known you for so long, I've never seen you overheat.

At this moment, Lei Jijian also spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness.

"It's not entirely my fault. To be honest, if I were to make a normal move, there shouldn't be any problem."

But if I keep swinging my sword at a high intensity and quickly, I'll get overheated and I'll get tired too.

To put it simply, this is my self-protection mechanism. If I keep drawing my sword too frequently, I will suffer the backlash from the lightning.

Moreover, lightning itself is an incredibly powerful ability, you should know that, right?

After listening to Lei Jijian's words for a while, I finally understood what he meant.

Yes, the lightning sword technique, although it uses electricity, is essentially lightning in a broader sense.

This is an absolutely heaven-defying energy. Throughout history, very few people have been able to wield lightning.

If I were to keep using Thunder Strike Sword now, it would be asking too much of a question.

I pondered for a moment, still hearing the fat man's whispers in my ears.

The next fat man, although he didn't speak human language, kept muttering to himself, which seemed to have some effect on my mental state.

The pleasure I felt from those punches I just threw has completely vanished.

The feeling of panic that came over me when only that fat man was left muttering to himself was palpable.

This guy actually knows how to use tactics. He's whispering here now, clearly trying to target me.

As I was thinking this, the lightning sword slashed in again the next second.

I was overjoyed; it seemed the overheating wouldn't last that long after all.

I didn't say anything, just watched the lightning circle around a few more times before finally striking the fat man's head hard.

I asked Lei Jijian, "What's going on? Is there no way to control where the lightning strikes?"

"There's really no other way..."

At this point, even the lightning sword shook its head helplessly, it seemed that it could only control the angle and force of the strike.

As for how many times the lightning circled inside, or where it struck the fat man, the Lightning Strike Sword had no way of controlling it.

I watched as the sword was aimed directly at his head, but it only grazed his head, sliding down to the back of his neck.

It then slid across his shoulder and finally struck his arm hard.

I was greatly alarmed.

Well, does this guy have a way to change the angle at which he gets hit?

The lightning sword had clearly struck his vitals, but now it had cleverly shifted to his arm.

I took a deep breath; this monster was indeed quite troublesome.

Although the blow landed on the arm, the lightning strike still left a deep mark on the fat man's right arm.

And the black blood inside the monster was gushing out.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that there were actually several tiny worms wrapped inside the black blood!

Wow, this is absolutely terrifying! They're not normal people at all!

My pupils contracted, and I quickly took two steps back.

At the same time, I saw the girl, who was also somewhat stunned.

This scene made me feel somewhat physically uncomfortable!
