The thunderbolt struck down with overwhelming force, illuminating the dark sky with flashes of lightning.
Gu Liyan heard the rumbling thunder and felt the familiar pressure of the lightning, slowly opening his eyes. He was all too familiar with heavenly lightning; this was the very lightning that Mo Han had summoned to punish him…
When she opened her eyes, she saw a cute little girl in a pink dress facing a scorpion that looked like a huge monster.
With one hand, she used all her strength to manipulate the surrounding plants and vines to trap the demonic scorpion, while with the other hand, she summoned and controlled the power of the heavenly thunder.
"Is...is it Xiaotao?"
Gu Liyan felt a resonance between his bloodline and that of the little girl, and immediately asked in confusion.
Seeing Gu Liyan wake up, Hua Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears and choked out, "Xiao Li, you're awake..."
Gu Liyan's mind wasn't on Hua Xiaoxiao, but on Xiao Tao, who was worried. Simultaneously controlling the plant domain and heavenly lightning was not something an ordinary person could do; a slight mistake could result in complete annihilation!
Gu Liyan hurriedly spoke, "Xiao Tao!"
Hearing Gu Liyan call out, Xiao Tao quickly turned to look at him and happily called out, "Daddy!"
Upon hearing Xiao Tao's words, Gu Liyan's eyes immediately reddened. He shook his head and looked at her, "Xiao Tao..."
Xiao Tao looked at Gu Liyan, then at Hua Xiaoxiao, her nose tingled, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears. Holding back her tears, she looked at Gu Liyan and said, "Father, please continue to protect Mother! Xiao Tao... Xiao Tao will stay with you here in this life..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan was immediately shocked and hurriedly cried out, "Stop! Xiao Tao, don't—"
Xiao Tao resolutely turned her head to look at the Demon Scorpion, who was struck by lightning and was barely breathing. Her pink eyes shimmered with tears as she coldly said, "Demon Scorpion, you have committed heinous crimes and deceived my parents. Today, you will go to hell with me!"
Upon hearing Xiao Tao's words, Gu Liyan mustered all his strength to scramble to his feet, frantically pleading, "Xiao Tao, no! Stop! You can't withstand the power of the heavenly lightning! I'll do it—"
thump……
Gu Liyan's legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground again. His expression suddenly changed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground red. His breathing weakened further, and Gu Liyan, panting heavily, angrily pounded the ground, "Damn it..."
Mo Chen also got up from the ground. Because his leg had been broken by the demon scorpion, he could only stagger over to Gu Liyan and help him up. "Mo Li, are you alright?"
Gu Liyan's eyes were red and swollen. She hurriedly grabbed Mo Chen and said urgently, "Mo Chen, you must think of a way to stop Xiao Tao. She will be destroyed!"
Mo Chen watched the thunder rage on, growing ever more intense, and sighed helplessly. He shook his head at Gu Liyan, "Mo Li, you know, it's too late for us!"
Gu Liyan felt a chill run down his spine. He looked up and saw a cage of heavenly lightning descending from the sky, trapping Xiao Tao and the Demon Scorpion inside, just like the heavenly lightning punishment that Gu Liyan had endured for Gu Yan before.
Just thinking about the power of that heavenly lightning made Gu Liyan tremble and feel weak. He had been beaten back to his original form and almost died after enduring the power of that heavenly lightning with his thousand years of cultivation. Xiao Tao had just merged with the power of heaven and earth to achieve a true immortal body and transformed into human form. How could she withstand this heavenly lightning?
"No, no... We must stop Xiaotao, we must stop her!"
If Xiao Tao were to be reborn, how could she be allowed to perish here, so young and utterly destroyed!
"Ahhhhh—" The scorpion screamed in agony amidst the heavenly lightning, and at the same time, Xiao Tao's screams echoed.
Gu Liyan gritted his teeth and no longer hesitated, "Xiao Tao, Daddy will never let you die!"
Mo Chen was stunned. Looking at Gu Liyan, who was covered in injuries and barely breathing, he hurriedly said, "Gu Liyan, don't do anything foolish!"
Gu Liyan completely ignored Mo Chen's advice, raised her trembling hand, took a deep breath, and continuously circulated the Chaos Domain within her body. Immediately, the chaos spread out and formed a terrifying vortex around Gu Liyan.
Sensing the ethereal yet terrifying domain surrounding Gu Liyan, Mo Chen was startled and staggered back a few steps to avoid the terrifying domain's range.
Immediately afterwards, the Gate of Chaos materialized and appeared before Gu Liyan, and another Gate of Chaos appeared in the cage of rolling thunder.
Beneath the mask, Gu Liyan's face was deathly pale and covered in cold sweat. The Gate of Chaos in front of him continuously emanated the power of heavenly thunder. Feeling the power of the thunder, Mo Chen, standing to the side, retreated and dared not take a step forward.
Gu Liyan was also dizzy from the lightning strike, but even so, he did not stop. Instead, he reached out towards the Gate of Chaos, and the power of lightning kept hitting his arm. The pain made Gu Liyan tremble all over. Without hesitation, Gu Liyan shouted loudly, "Xiao Tao!"
Feeling Xiao Tao's hand in his, Gu Liyan grabbed it tightly and pulled hard, pulling Xiao Tao out of the Gate of Chaos. Gu Liyan held Xiao Tao firmly in his arms.
"Father..." Xiao Tao opened her eyes, glanced at Gu Liyan, and spoke weakly.
"It's alright..." Seeing that she was still breathing, Gu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief, put Xiao Tao on the ground, and comforted her.
Mo Chen, who was hiding to the side, looked at Gu Liyan in astonishment. He did not expect that Gu Liyan had learned such a powerful spatial domain ability after so many days apart. He also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Tao had been rescued by him.
Murong Xiaoxiao ran forward, wiping away her tears, and burst into tears as she looked at Xiaotao, crying, "Xiaotao, Xiaotao, please don't let anything happen to you!"
Xiao Tao smiled and said, "I'm tired, I want to sleep..." Then she slowly closed her eyes.
Seeing that Xiao Tao was unharmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Hua Xiaoxiao stepped forward and looked at Xiao Tao, whom Gu Liyan had rescued. Her beautiful and lovely appearance was truly heartbreaking, and she even looked somewhat like Gu Liyan.
