The man was exceptionally tall and muscular; his pure white work vest couldn't conceal the powerful physique emanating from his fibrous muscles.

Silver-purple lightning crackled and danced with his flowing silver hair, messy yet unruly. On one of his ears was a set of ear clips, with a spark of lightning leaping among them.

The wind and dust stood still in front of him.

The two circular saw-like mutants were crushed. Before the surrounding mutants could swarm them again, the man scooped Chang Le up by the waist with one hand and grabbed Qin Xian with the other, saying in a deep voice, "Come with me!"

The squad leader, along with Qin Xian and the remaining two team members, followed the man to break through the encirclement of the alien species and stopped inside the battle line.

"Report, the 17th Marine Regiment is ordered to escort the delivery of weapons," the squad leader said to the officer.

The squad leader was carrying one large box, while Chang Le was carrying the other.

Chang Le clung to the man's overly thick wrist like a noodle, and upon hearing this, swung her leg: "Uh, the other one is here..."

The vines gently placed the weapon on the ground.

"Um, can you put me down?" Chang Le asked, tilting his head.

A pair of cold, sharp purple eyes glanced over, as piercing as lightning in the night, chilling to the bone. But to Chang Le, those eyes were all too familiar.

The same thunderstorm, identical silver hair and purple eyes.

The fact that Sister Xiaoye's family considered her unusual appearance was actually proof of her [Thunder Emperor] bloodline!

"Lord Ye, what are you doing?" The officer looked at Ye Xiao with a puzzled and strange expression as he held onto a young girl.

Ye Xiao didn't let go, and took a long stride towards the house next door.

The officer didn't dare to ask, and Qin Xian was a little confused.

To be honest, Chang Le, who was rescued, was also very confused.

She did come to see Ye Xiao, but that was enough. Why did she get herself involved?

Remembering the information that Ye Xiao had a bad temper as explosive as his abilities, Chang Le chose to mute himself.

That fist looks like it could kill you.

We can't beat them, we can't beat them.

Ye Xiao's arm jerked, and with a quick clasp of his hands, he lifted Chang Le up like a doll, holding him by the waist, and brought him to eye level: "Who are you?"

Chang Le answered obediently, "The refugees who temporarily joined the operation are temporarily staying in the south of the city..."

"Not this one!" Ye Xiao's voice was deep and resonant. He frowned, and his sharp eyebrows made him look particularly fierce.

"What?" Chang Le asked, looking puzzled.

Ye Xiao released her and threw her to the ground. He lightly touched her brow with two fingers, forcibly drawing out a wisp of silver-purple leaping lightning.

Chang Le was terrified.

A sliver of her special ability was forcibly drawn out.

It wasn't that she was devoured or stripped away; it was like having a piece of her flesh ripped out, only without the pain.

Ye Xiao stared intently at her: "How come you also have the [Ten Thousand Thunder Technique]?"

Countless explanations flashed through Chang Le's mind in an instant, but in the end he chose to play dumb: "This is my own ability."

"Impossible." Ye Xiao denied it decisively, and stretched out his other hand, a wisp of lightning leaping out from his fingertip.

Ye Xiao held his hands together for him to see: "Explain it."

The two bolts of lightning were not so much similar as identical.

Ye Xiao's cold, hard brows furrowed even more tightly. Just as Chang Le dared not breathe, someone suddenly came over: "Old Ye, what are you doing in there?"

Chang Le perked up his ears upon hearing this sound.

It's Jiu Fanggui! He's actually here too!

Ye Xiao suddenly stood up and pulled Jiu Fanggui inside: "You've come at the right time, help me see what kind of background this little girl has!"

Chang Le and Jiu Fang Gui looked at each other.

"Oh? It's you." Jiu Fanggui raised an eyebrow slightly.

Ye Xiao's questioning gaze shifted between the two: "What? You know each other?"

"I saw you yesterday." Jiu Fanggui squatted down, looking Chang Le, who was sitting on the ground, at eye level. "What did you do to offend Old Ye?"

“Mr. Jiufang, I didn’t do anything.” Chang Le shook his head, his eyes innocent.

Ye Xiao brought the two strands of lightning energy closer: "Old Ninth, look."

After observing for a moment, Jiu Fanggui pointed to one of the strands of energy and asked, "This energy isn't yours, is it?"

"It's hers." Ye Xiao gestured to the person on the ground. "The resemblance is too high, there's something wrong. Take a look and see what's going on. Could it be some kind of alien being that copied my abilities?"

Jiu Fanggui raised his hand to signal him to wait a moment, then extended his hand to Chang Le: "Lele, right? Can I check your hand to make sure you're okay? As long as you're not a mutant that could threaten the defenses, I won't hurt you."

Chang Le gazed into those amber-colored deer eyes and stretched out a hand.

"Thump! Thump thump thump..."

Amidst tension and barely concealed excitement, Chang Le's rapid heartbeat was something she couldn't control.

Jiu Fang Gui Xu grasped her wrist.

Chang Le was so nervous that she could barely feel his movements and dared not meet his gaze, thus missing the fleeting surprise in Jiu Fanggui's eyes.

Less than a minute later, Jiu Fanggui withdrew his hand: "She's fine. The young lady has a very solid cultivation level, but she has too many old injuries and needs to recuperate properly."

"Then what's going on with her [Ten Thousand Thunder Technique]?" Ye Xiao asked, squinting at him with suspicion.

Jiu Fanggui replied calmly, "Just a coincidence."

"Bullshit!" Ye Xiao glared at him. "Didn't you research that all forms of superpowers of each attribute can't appear in two people at the same time? Especially when they're exactly the same level of strength!"

Jiu Fanggui: "Oh, I misunderstood. This is a ready-made exception."

Ye Xiao looked at the two of them suspiciously several times: "No, Ninth Brother, there's something wrong with you, there's something very wrong with you."

"Old Ye, it's just a coincidence. What's important now is what's happening outside. They need you there, so go quickly." Jiu Fanggui urged him to leave.
