Chapter 205 Why did Tian Lei target Chu...?
Why did Tian Lei attack Chu Xingjin?
Those who hadn't yet put away the Demon-Revealing Mirror couldn't help but look back and forth. Although Chu Xingjin didn't know why he had attracted the little monster cub, he seemed quite normal.
There are indeed historical cases of heavenly lightning being used to punish others, but that was Chu Xianjun. What did he have to be punished for? Wasn't he a great hero?
Isn't he the chosen one of Heaven?
The chosen one of Heaven is inherently capable of change.
When Xie Jiaoyue returned to the cultivation world, the achievements in patching up the loopholes, the tireless efforts of the Xie family, and the admiration in the hearts of those saved by the Xie family were once again detected by the Heavenly Dao. The tilted scales once again shifted their direction, from leaning towards Chu Xingjin to leaning towards Xie Jiaoyue.
When the bias is large enough, the filth Chu Xingjin has done can no longer be hidden.
Even the way of Heaven can be changed.
With a deafening roar, the heavenly lightning belonging to the Mahayana stage mercilessly struck Chu Xingjin's head, creating a huge crater at his feet, causing Chu Xingjin to sink completely into it.
He was in a sorry state, but he didn't die.
The usually elegant and radiant Chu Xingjin climbed out of the pit, revealing such a disheveled side to the world for the first time.
The distant, elusive sound of bells rang in the ears of countless people, seemingly there yet not there. When people tried to find it, they could not grasp it, for it was as if it were an illusion, an illusion that had never happened.
Indeed, some thoughts vanished along with the chime, the hazy fog in his mind disappeared completely, and the "filter" he had for someone no longer appeared.
It turns out that Chu Xingjin's appearance was just so-so. He had an excellent face, but his expression was too greasy. He always had a self-righteous crooked smile that made people want to roll their eyes. He didn't quite deserve the title of handsome immortal.
Although Chu Xingjin's cultivation level is high, there are so many people with high cultivation levels in this world, and there are quite a few genius teenagers. They shouldn't have such feelings of admiration for Chu Xingjin.
Although the Wan family can be called heroes, the Xie family's efforts were no less significant, and the efforts of other aristocratic families should not be overlooked. Why can they only see the Wan family?
More than one person has realized that their past thinking was problematic, but that is not the most important issue.
The main question is, why is Chu Xingjin surrounded by black energy?
Many people rubbed their glasses, wiped the magic mirrors again and again, and repeatedly checked to make sure that Chu Xingjin was still surrounded by black energy.
Something's not right. The hole behind Xie Jiaoyue has clearly disappeared, and there's no demonic energy around her. So why does Chu Xingjin still have it?
The Xie family disciples began singing folk songs again.
The onlookers, who were initially only half-believing, were now completely convinced: Chu Xingjin was cultivating with demonic energy! That's why he was tainted by demonic energy!
People unconsciously distanced themselves from the Wan family disciples, fearing that the disciples might also be carrying something they shouldn't be.
However, the Wan clan disciples were also very alarmed. They had always believed that the reason why the Wan clan was less affected by demonic energy was because the Wan clan leader and Chu Xianjun had outstanding cultivation and superior intelligence, which was why they were saved.
But now someone is telling them it's because of Chu Xianjun, Chu Xingjin, who cultivates with demonic energy?
If Chu Xingjin is like this, then what about Clan Chief Wan?
Such extraordinary heavenly lightning already tells them the answer, doesn't it?
While the Wan clan is less susceptible to demonic energy, if the demonic energy was indeed brought into the world by the Wan clan leader...
Everyone has loved ones who died in the struggle against demonic energy and monsters.
If all of this was truly caused by Chief Wan, then what about their deceased relatives and friends?
Chu Xingjin noticed the emotions of the people around him and reacted immediately. Regardless of whether their secret was discovered or not, as long as the Wan Clan Chief could successfully break through to the Mahayana stage and become the only Mahayana stage cultivator in the world, they would still be invincible!
He completely ignored Xie Jiaoyue, and after killing the surrounding purple-gold bamboo with a few sword strikes, he rushed to the area where the Wan Clan Chief was undergoing his tribulation, to protect the Wan Clan Chief and block anyone who tried to stop him from undergoing his tribulation.
He could feel the favor that Heaven had bestowed upon him gradually slipping away. It was strange; he had never been able to perceive it so clearly before, but now it was so real.
But he could also sense that he was still the protagonist.
He absolutely has the ability and luck to stop these overconfident people.
In the blink of an eye, he shot down two Nascent Soul stage cultivators who were standing on flying swords.
His opponents' spells always missed, but his attacks always hit their targets, so victory was inevitable for him.
Someone discovered this problem, and the five of them conspired together to surround Chu Xingjin and launch an attack simultaneously.
Flying swords, spells, and unidentifiable magical artifacts, along with hastily prepared formations, unleashed countless attacks upon Chu Xingjin, attempting to sever him from the void.
Chu Xingjin's body, which had just been struck by heavenly lightning, twisted to an incredible height. Dozens of attacks disappeared halfway through the air by colliding with themselves, and most of the remaining attacks were dodged by Chu Xingjin. In the end, only three or five attacks hit the edges and corners of Chu Xingjin, leaving a few bloody marks.
Incredibly, the attacks did not disappear entirely in mid-air. Instead, due to the force of the collision, they changed angles and struck the people besieging Chu Xingjin.
That's simply unreasonable.
After many attempts, people discovered that Chu Xingjin seemed to possess some kind of ability, making him completely unharmable to them.
For a moment, no one dared to go up, but the heavenly lightning waited for no one and stopped "slipping away," relentlessly crashing down on Chief Wan.
Perhaps it was because Xie Jiaoyue exposed the Wan family's conspiracy in public that the heavenly lightning was exceptionally fierce. Even so, the Wan family chief still seemed to be handling it with ease. It looked like in just one more hour, this person would successfully become a Mahayana cultivator under the witness of the rumbling heavenly lightning.
The Way of Heaven cannot be an unreasonable entity that directly intervenes in the human world. It can only intervene in a small way through heavenly thunder, fortune, and so on, selecting a child of the Way of Heaven from a young age based on not very accurate big data. If it makes a mistake, there is not much room for change.
The Way of Heaven has no consciousness, no emotions, and everything it operates according to laws that are not clearly understood. At such times, it is powerless.
Who can save the cultivation world?
Are they just going to stand by and watch the clan leader ascend to power and become the "emperor" of the entire cultivation world?
If such people become "emperors," what good days can they possibly have?
The Mahayana path has a long lifespan; how long will they have to endure those days before they can welcome the next spring?
Xie Jiaoyue completely sealed the breach in the boundary wall, and emerged from the ravaged bamboo forest covered in blood, brushing past Gongshi Moyu.
Gongshi Moyu endured it all, but in the end, he only dared to gently hook Xie Jiaoyue's finger to remove the bloodstains from her body.
Xie Jiaoyue gave a quick flick of her wrist.
She thought that perhaps she had traveled through time just for this day.
The "protagonist" can only be killed by the "protagonist".
Others may not have the chance, but the admiration and adoration that genuinely surrounds Chu Xingjin, and the halo that comes from the voluntary contributions of important supporting characters, have already been largely given to her.
Especially the key supporting characters in the book, Chu Xingjin's "harem," are all looking at her with worried eyes.
She could feel that these gazes gave her strength.
Now there's only one problem left: she's only at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, which is a level below Chu Xingjin's.
A dark, unnamed pill appeared in her hand. It was a "paper" that Gong Shi Moyu had refined when she was advancing her minor cultivation level. Its use was very limited, only able to improve a cultivator's cultivation level in a short period of time.
The price is overdraft and burning, after which one's cultivation level will plummet.
This pill was left by Gongshi Moyu for Xie Jiaoyue to save her life. Using it now can also be considered a way to save her life.
She swallowed it with her eyes closed. It was bitter. She would have to tell Gong Shi Moyu to pay more attention to the taste when refining pills in the future.
When she opened her eyes again, she drew her sword and went to meet them.
Perhaps because Xie Jiaoyue has not appeared in the cultivation world for a long time, and she has never shown her swordsmanship except in the All-Domain Grand Competition, most people's understanding of Xie Jiaoyue is more of an empty Xie clan patriarch and the unconventional girl from the past.
This was the first time so many people had looked up to watch Xie Jiaoyue fight someone.
Many people have seen Chu Xingjin's swordsmanship. His style is agile, and every move is elegant. It seems that every angle has been carefully calculated. No matter how you use the image-recording bead to capture the image, you can't find him in a disheveled state.
At the same time, he was extremely ruthless, with a disdain for everyone, as if it were an honor for other living beings to die by his sword.
A sword style that perfectly suits the "protagonist".
Xie Jiaoyue's swordsmanship sometimes makes one want to say, "It's ridiculous."
When Chu Xingjin attempted to kill him with a single sword strike, Xie Jiaoyue removed her flying sword, causing herself to fall abruptly. She then stepped onto the flying sword again and stabbed Chu Xingjin in the sole of his foot.
What a dirty attack method.
Those watching were merely amazed, but Chu Xingjin, who was in the midst of it, was truly furious.
Blood was dripping from his ankle; his left Achilles tendon had been severed. Everyone here uses flying sword formations and magical artifacts; even sword techniques are controlled by spiritual energy. This isn't a street brawl; what cultivator attacks someone's Achilles tendon?
Unfortunately, the pain in his lower limbs made it difficult for him to concentrate, and he was not as stable as before when standing on the flying sword. He had to devote more energy and spiritual power to stabilize his body.
Who fights like that?! Do you dare to have a fair and square fight?!
He had been suppressed by Xie Jiaoyue for so many years. Heaven knows how much he wanted to fight Xie Jiaoyue and let those who looked down on him in the past see who was the "protagonist" of this world and who should be looked up to!
Xie Jiaoyue has always liked to use underhanded tricks, but that's alright. He was prepared for that. He has plenty of ways to force Xie Jiaoyue to confront him head-on.
One by one, more swords appeared around Chu Xingjin, forming the legendary sword formation of ten thousand swords unleashed simultaneously.
This sword formation isn't particularly precious, nor is it a secret technique. The reason it's become a legend is because its conditions are extremely demanding.
First, it requires the cultivator to have excellent talent and a vast amount of spiritual energy, and to be able to understand every bit of spiritual energy and multitask by manipulating countless spiritual swords.
Secondly, it requires countless rare spirit swords. In the original story, Xie Jiaoyue spent all her wealth to find spirit swords for Chu Xingjin, which made this sword formation Chu Xingjin's signature move.
Now, these spirit swords come from the Wan family. Compared to the cannon fodder in the original story who gave their all and were ignored by everyone, no one in the Wan family has such plans for Chu Xingjin.
The Spirit Sword has been downgraded by one level.
