Chapter 103

From the naked eye, Nan Xi's condition was already very bad, but there were still six more heavenly thunders left. No one could imagine what she would go through and whether she could survive the next thunder tribulation.

The thirteenth time, more flesh and blood on Nan Xi's body were torn apart, but no blood was left because the torn flesh and blood were all burned to a charred black.

She had been tempered by the Heavenly Spirit Fire. If she had not had that experience, the situation would be even more dire.

Fourteenth time, when the lightning dissipated, Nan Xi's facial features could still be seen clearly, and the high-quality robes on his body were already in tatters.

Her body was already stiff and motionless.

Everyone knew that if Nan Xi dared to move at this moment, he would not be able to support his body and would fall to the ground.

Before the next bolt of lightning engulfed her, everyone seemed to hear her chuckle softly.

It seemed to be mocking the incompetence of Tianlei, which had not been able to take her life so far.

Perhaps the thunderbolt was enraged, and the lightning became even brighter.

Nan Xi maintained the same posture for the next three times, but her condition became worse and worse. When the seventeenth time was over, only a human figure could be seen. If her eyes had not been still stubbornly shining, everyone would have thought that she was dead.

Just when everyone thought that she would face the final thunderbolt in this manner, her arms moved.

The pair of arms, which had completely lost their flesh color, moved slightly, and several bright red streaks appeared. As she continued to move, the blood color became darker and darker, spreading from her arms to the front and back of her body. Soon, her entire upper body was soaked in blood.

She stretched her arms upwards and tilted her head slightly upwards.

No one could see her expression clearly, but most people thought she was smiling.

That posture looks like a welcome, but also like an embrace.

But no matter how you look at it, it's a completely fearless posture.

Everyone was stunned.

Many people have never seen such a person, and many people have rarely seen such a person, someone who is so casual and fearless, even a little crazy.

Some people looked towards Li Yunzheng uncontrollably.

Li Yunzheng smiled and looked at He Jian, "Hey, Senior Brother, did you choose the wrong disciple? How come my nephew has inherited my style so completely?"

In Nan Xi's words, it means using one's life to act big.

He Jian snorted coldly, "This kid has become a bad kid after learning from you."

Although he said so, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

Qi Qian was also in the crowd. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but walk forward.

Unlike Nan Xi, he has been extremely proud these days. Although his limelight has been overshadowed by the Tianyun Sword Sect, it is an indisputable fact that he has entered the realm of Half-Step Divine Transformation. Many people have been praising him these days, and everyone says that the Yuxu Sect will flourish in his hands.

However, Qi Qian had many speculations about this advancement in strength, and no matter how he thought about it, it was ultimately related to Nan Xi.

Nan Xi always helps him secretly.

Qi Qian looked at Nan Xi's appearance at this moment and felt that an organ in his chest was beating rapidly.

Qi Qian knew a long time ago what kind of woman he liked.

He doesn't want infatuated, weak, or beautiful women. He wants strong, tough, and women who love him deeply. Only such women are qualified to walk the immortal journey with him.

Today's Nan Xi perfectly meets his ideal type.

Few people noticed his abnormality.

The last ray of light from the sky quietly dissipated.

In the center of the thunder tribulation, Nan Xi's entire body could be said to be like a charcoal, maintaining the previous posture, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

The scene became somewhat quiet again.

Li Yunzheng glanced at the message on the communication jade talisman, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

And the next second, an extremely pleasant and clear cry was heard in the sky, and the shadow of the mythical beast Suzaku soared in the sky, casting a scarlet-gold light.

People around felt the warmth and seemed to smell the refreshing fragrance.

The light was blooming, and the phantom of the Vermillion Bird was circling around Nan Xi. This extremely beautiful bird seemed to have activated Nan Xi's vitality. She finally moved and exhaled slowly.

He lowered his stiff arm.

The charred skin on his body cracked open, but this time what appeared was not red flesh and blood, but white and shiny skin as before.

Nan Xi tugged at the rags on his body, sighed softly, took out new robes from his storage bag and put them on. Then he moved his body, took two steps back and forth, and looked at the gradually disappearing shadow of the Vermillion Bird.

She didn't quite understand what this meant, but she knew it was a blessing from heaven, which repaired her damaged flesh, blood, tendons and bones, and gradually restored her condition to its peak.

At this time, someone coughed not far away, "Since you have survived the thunder tribulation, it is time for execution."

As he started, someone immediately echoed, "Yes, you have to pay for the lives of those ten thousand people!"

"You deserve to have your heart pierced by thousands of arrows."

Qi Qian stepped forward at this time, his eyes were gentle, but he didn't say anything. He only sent a message to Nan Xi, saying: "Xi'er, I will help you escape later."

One of them wanted to step forward with a sword in his hand.

At this moment, everyone in the Tianyun Sword Sect stood up tacitly, turned around, and faced the people who were going to judge Nan Xi.

He Jian's sword was already unsheathed, and he glared at everyone in front of him, and his stern voice reached everyone's ears.

"Who dares to touch my disciple?!"

These people couldn't believe it and couldn't help but ask, "Does the Tianyun Sword Sect really want to protect such a person who has a bad moral character and disregards the lives of tens of thousands of people?"

This voice attracted many echoes.

"No matter how talented Nan Xi is, he deserves to die!"

"The Tianyun Sword Sect no longer wants the reputation it has accumulated over tens of millions of years?!"

"The world of cultivation has its own rules! Even the five major sects shouldn't be like this!"

The previously quiet rivals seemed to have finally caught hold of the Tianyun Sword Sect’s weakness, and their voices became louder and louder, with the crowd becoming increasingly excited.

Li Yunzheng's sneer was heard by everyone at this time.

She walked out slowly, her face that always had a casual smile on it was now completely cold. She raised her sword-holding hand slightly and pointed it at the person with the loudest voice.

"If you want Nan Xi's life now, you have to get past me first."

Everyone fell silent again.

Qi Qian had not spoken before, but his eyes fell on Nan Xi. He took a step forward, and his action attracted the attention of most people. He only looked at Nan Xi and said, "Xi'er, you have already pleaded guilty. Don't drag down the sect anymore. Come to me. From now on... I will protect you?"

Nan Xi was originally confused by the sudden change. After hearing Qi Qian's words, her expression showed signs of turning into one of disgust.

But before she could reveal herself, she smelled a faint fragrance. Someone approached her from behind and held her in his arms. A familiar voice, but a little deeper than before, was heard, with some hostility.

"Sorry, Senior Sister likes me."

Nan Xi was stunned again and quickly turned her head to look at Luo Tingyun, but she was inexplicably hugged tighter and could only feel the obvious ups and downs of the skin on her back.

But it's not soft to the touch, it's wider and harder, not like some kind of secondary feature, more like more developed...pectoral muscles.

“?!”

Nan Xi didn't care about the weird scene in front of her. She moved her body and wanted to turn around again, "You are not my junior sister."

Luo Tingyun hugged her tighter, not letting Nan Xi look at him. He was very nervous, burying his face in Nan Xi's shoulder, and replied in a muffled voice, "It's Junior Brother."

Nan Xi: “???”

The situation was at a stalemate, and everyone was watching the interaction between the two people, and fell into an even more bizarre silence.

However, the crowd of onlookers were excited and started talking.

"I knew there was something wrong between Nan Xi and her junior sister! Turns out it was her junior brother! That makes sense... Um, why the hell are you covering my mouth?!"

The mouth of the onlooker was covered again, and the air seemed to freeze.

It was a long while before someone tentatively spoke.

"Your Excellency, we are just dealing with the guilty according to the rules. You...what is this?"

Li Yunzheng glanced at the communication jade talisman again, and did not answer the man's words, but just said, "There is still a quarter of an hour."

"……ah?"

"In a quarter of an hour, you will know whether Xi'er is guilty or not."

Everyone was puzzled, but the prestige of the Tianyun Sword Sect was in front, and Li Yunzheng was behind. She didn't say anything final, and it was even more impossible for them to quarrel with the Tianyun Sword Sect here. So they just waited here as Li Yunzheng said.

No one cares whether there are blue and white waves on the surface of the transition.

He looked at the two people in front of him in disbelief.

Luo Tingyun changed into men's clothes, and looked more handsome than before, but just looking at his face, one could tell that there was no change, he was still extremely beautiful, and one more glance at him would make people intoxicated.

Some people were discussing in low voices.

"Luo Tingyun is a man, so does that mean the most beautiful woman in the world will be replaced by someone else?"

"So what if he's a man? Can't a man be a beauty?"

The noise of their discussion was indeed quiet enough, but it was quiet at this moment, and the monks had sharp ears and eyes, so they could easily hear these sounds.

Nan Xi sensed Luo Tingyun's nervousness and had given up the idea of ​​taking a look at Luo Tingyun's appearance. She was also a little confused about the current situation, so she just relaxed and let Luo Tingyun hold her, and then asked questions.

"When did you wake up? Are you feeling better?"

Seeing that Nan Xi didn't question why he pretended to be a woman, Luo Tingyun relaxed a little and said, "I woke up two days ago and I'm fine now."

He had been watching Nan Xi transcend the tribulation in the dark before, and when Nan Xi came out after transcending the tribulation and faced with such a scene, he finally couldn't help but come out. At this time, he looked at Qi Qian again, and when he thought of what he had just said, his cheeks and ears turned red.

But thinking that Nan Xi did not refute, he couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy.

It was said to be a quarter of an hour, but in fact it was less than a quarter of an hour. From a distance, I could see a group of people rushing here. It was a black mass. At a glance, the number of people was no less than ten thousand.

Everyone was stunned.

Some guesses emerged in his mind, and then he couldn't help but look at Nan Xi, extremely puzzled. If those ten thousand people did not die, why would Nan Xi plead guilty?

Nan Xi couldn't help but straighten his expression at this moment, with a look of surprise that didn't seem fake.

[Hmm...if the last plot goes wrong, how will it end? ]

This sentence was asked by Nan Xi.

Nan Xi didn't get a response. Just when she found it a little strange, a mechanical sound that was completely different from the previous one suddenly appeared. [Beep - System update completed, ready to start... Startup completed, high-lucky human detected, do you want to bind? Query result, binding completed, current task: cultivate a new son of luck. ]

Nan Xi: “?”

If there is any difference between this mechanical sound and the previous ones, it is that this mechanical sound is obviously more childish, a bit like a child's voice.

She was startled, thinking she was forced to bind to a new system, but after feeling it carefully, she didn't feel anything unusual.

The system's familiar tone appeared the next moment, with some excitement, [Host! The system has triggered a hidden mission and updated it! You don't have to change your identity, and I can also collect energy in a different way! ]

Nan Xi: “?”

【Please tell me in detail.】

[It is related to the luck value. Qi Mi's luck value is reset to zero, and you lose the qualification to be the son of luck. From now on, all the plots are invalid. Now we have a new task, to cultivate a new son of luck! Host, don't worry, this training will not have a mandatory task. Your luck value is also very high, and success is in sight! ]

Nan Xi pondered for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth.

[So my 100 years of storytelling have been in vain, right? ]

【……】

Nan Xi did not wait for a response from the system, but only waited for people's questions and the gradually noisy atmosphere at the scene.

Someone asked doubtfully, "Are these 10,000 people still alive?"
