Chapter 12 Thunder Emperor, your daughter is not disciplined well...
Lian Wushuang got up in a disheveled state, gritting her white teeth and looking at Chang Yubai with hatred in her eyes.
However, even the most willful person has a survival instinct. Lian Wushuang closed her eyes and breathed, covering her exposed teeth with her lips again, no longer showing her previous arrogant demeanor.
She didn't say a word, afraid that saying anything more would bring disaster upon herself.
"Senior Sister!" The man in purple actually took the opportunity to run over. "Senior Sister! I saw your fight from afar. I can finally get close! Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'll lock those two accomplices in the Thunder Prison right now. They'll never be able to get out for the rest of their lives."
After saying that, the man in purple tugged at the shackles on his hands and walked menacingly toward Chang Yubai.
Perhaps it was Chang Yubai's tattered clothes, burned by lightning, that gave the man in purple the wrong visual impression, leading him to believe that Lian Wushuang was the stronger fighter.
Chang Yubai: "Get lost."
The cold, hard word "Get out" shattered the shackles along with it.
The man in purple: "..."
The man in purple looked back at Lian Wushuang in horror: "Senior Sister, how come he can still..." move?
Before he could finish speaking, the man in purple saw Lian Wushuang's pained expression as she struggled to hold on.
He walked up behind Lian Wushuang just now and didn't see his senior sister's expression, so he assumed she had won. Now that he looks back, he realizes how incredibly foolish he was.
The man in purple remained silent, retrieved the shackles that were now only half a ring, and slowly moved towards Lian Wushuang.
"Get out of my way!" Lian Wushuang was covered in injuries and hated anyone getting close to her at this time.
The man in purple acted as if he hadn't heard anything.
Lian Wushuang opened her lips, about to curse him a second time, when she felt a chill in her abdomen, as the purple-clad man, whose name she did not know, had pierced her through.
"Tch, so-called Miss Thunder Emperor, nothing special." This time, the man in purple laughed arrogantly. "Big brother, why aren't you making a move!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sinister aura rushed towards him.
"A heretical cultivator!" Li Qingyun had seen heretical cultivators who refined corpses and ghosts before, and he recognized the evil aura at a glance.
"Looking for death!" Lian Wushuang trembled with rage.
She was hastily summoned by this man in purple, and now she realizes that she has become someone else's scapegoat, causing her to get a beating. Now she is being plotted against by this villain, who wants to refine her into a companion soul.
"Don't you even know if you have the ability!" Lian Wushuang fought on despite her serious injuries.
As it turns out, the reason these two have been hiding until now is because they are wary of Lian Wushuang's fifth-level martial arts cultivation. Even if they were given an opportunity, they wouldn't be able to seize it.
After several bolts of lightning struck, the evil cultivator was almost roasted alive.
Chang Yubai was still standing there in a daze.
His dark eyes lacked brightness, but thankfully the faint red lines under his eyes had disappeared.
Perhaps it really was just a reflection of blood.
The evil cultivator, disbelieving in superstition, took out the Soul Refining Banner, intending to take advantage of Lian Wushuang's unstable soul to forcibly steal her spirit.
Lian Wushuang panicked and pleaded with Chang Yubai, "If you save my life, I'll save both of yours!"
Li Qingyun: !
Chang Yubai remained unmoved.
Li Qingyun: !!!
Move! Do you really want the Thunder Emperor to hunt us down?!
"Brother~ Brother, please save her! I don't want to die!" Li Qingyun's pleading turned urgent, fearing that Chang Yubai would really watch Lian Wushuang die.
If they stand by and do nothing, the Thunder Emperor will definitely take his anger out on them!
Chang Yubai reacted.
With a single sword strike, black light swept across the soul banner in mid-air, then leaped behind the evil cultivator with lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, the head fell to the ground.
The evil cultivator's head rolled to the ground, dust and sand seeping into his wide-open eyes, showing just how unwilling he was to die.
However, the spirit banner in mid-air did not fall to the ground.
The soul banner, cut in two, still hung in the air, and the wailing and screaming that lingered around it grew even more intense.
Lian Wushuang: "Oh no! This Soul Banner!"
The spirit banner exploded.
Thousands of vengeful spirits burst free from their shackles within the soul banner, filling the air with a mournful and eerie atmosphere.
"I have to activate the Pure Calamity Heaven and Thunder..." Lian Wushuang was still speaking when she collapsed to the ground.
She was too badly injured, having suffered two serious injuries in succession, and had collapsed and could not get up.
The sky was filled with vengeful spirits, which howled as they passed over the few people on the ground, some fearful and some indifferent.
The man in purple was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud.
He was covered in blood. When Lian Wushuang was fighting the evil cultivators, she threw many moves at him, but at least his elder brother was there to protect him. Now, he didn't even have anyone to save him!
"Lian Wushuang! Wake up, damn it! Don't sleep anymore! Only people with the surname Lian can activate the Purifying Calamity Heavenly Thunder. Wake up now!"
Li Qingyun: "It's so noisy."
"What the hell are you yelling about, you little brat? Don't you know—"
The man in purple didn't finish his sentence.
Li Qingyun placed one hand on the top of his head, her palm turning green. The man in purple stopped moving as if he had been electrocuted, and stood there blankly as Li Qingyun held him down.
Within moments, Li Qingyun released his grip, and the man in purple collapsed, still struggling to stay upright.
Apart from the sand and soil that was shaken up the moment it fell, no other dust was stirred up.
The man in purple stopped breathing.
"Phew—" Li Qingyun quickly regulated her breathing and finally managed to recover from the terrible discomfort caused by the backlash.
The ginseng roots in the sack also stopped their restlessness and lay quietly again.
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Li Qingyun looked at Chang Yubai again and found that he was still standing in the same place, only raising his head to watch the restless vengeful spirits.
The Black Scale Sword trembled with excitement.
Li Qingyun reminded him, "Brother, let's run for our lives."
He no longer hoped that Chang Yubai could be forgiven by Lei Huang; he only hoped that the two of them, master and disciple, would not die in this strange place too soon.
Chang Yubai twirled the sword in his hand, seemingly lost in thought, and hadn't uttered a single word since the outburst.
In fact, Chang Yubai means black scales.
Sword: Black Scale Suppresses Evil!
Chang Yubai: Black Scales sounds nice.
Sword: Black Scale Suppresses Evil!
Can you understand what the sword is saying?! Suppress evil! Suppress evil, you idiot!!!
Let me go and kill these vengeful spirits!
Chang Yubai: The four characters are too awkward to pronounce; this is rejected.
Black Scale Sword: ...Okay.
Just consider it a bonus from Lao Tzu to ward off evil spirits.
Black Scale Sword bowed its head and admitted defeat once again.
But it quickly became excited again.
Chang Yubai has finally unleashed its original moves and activated its function of suppressing evil spirits.
The magic circle engraved on the black sword flashed brightly, and with each increase in the intensity of the light, the howls of the vengeful spirits in the air became more tragic.
The vengeful spirits sensed the presence of their natural enemy.
But it was too late.
The Black Scale Sword swept around and around, burning the vengeful spirits that passed by into black and gray spiritual energy through the pure white magic array. The black and gray spiritual energy was then quickly absorbed by the sword itself, leaving no room for error in the entire process.
When the Black Scale Sword flew back to Chang Yubai's scabbard, the air was fresh and the sky was bright. There was no sign that there had been vengeful spirits lingering in this place.
Li Qingyun, not believing in superstition, rubbed her eyes.
Huh? What happened?
It seems that Master Chang is no longer a heretical practitioner?
Just as Li Qingyun was wondering what was going on, Chang Yubai suddenly pulled him up again.
"Eh? Should we run away? But Lian..." He was about to say that since the opportunity was right, he might as well save Lian Wushuang and do her a favor.
But Chang Yubai didn't run away.
Of course, they can't escape it.
A thunderbolt even heavier than the one that struck when Lian Wushuang landed crashed down.
In the deep pit, a dignified middle-aged man, crackling with electricity, crouched down and lifted Lian Wushuang up.
This is the Thunder Emperor himself.
He was also a bewildered middle-aged man.
I just saw the Thunder Emperor surrounded by vengeful spirits: No rush, it seems that Wushuang was in this direction just now.
The Thunder Emperor, whose vengeful spirits showed no signs of dissipating after a long while, thought: ...This is bad! Why hasn't Wushuang summoned the heavenly lightning yet?!
The Thunder Emperor, who rushed over only to find the sky clear: ...Haha, what a surprise, it seems you don't need me anymore.
But how did his daughter end up dead on the ground?
Lei Huang quickly took out a pill and stuffed it into Lian Wushuang's mouth to help her neutralize the effects of the medicine.
The medicine that the regional overlord took out was quite effective. As soon as Lei Huang finished circulating the medicine, Lian Wushuang slowly opened her eyes.
Upon seeing the familiar stubble, Lian Wushuang instantly cried out, "Father!! You must stand up for me! They're the ones who beat me so badly!"
Lei Huang also glared angrily at Chang Yubai and the other man, saying, "You two!"
Li Qingyun was so angry that she wanted to retort. Just now, Lian Wushuang clearly said that if she saved her, the debt would be wiped clean. How could she go back on her word!
Chang Yubai quickly covered Li Qingyun's mouth, preventing Xiaoyun from venting her anger.
Chang Yubai said, "Your daughter was in the wrong first, yet you still can't distinguish right from wrong?"
Thunder Emperor's rage intensified: "What did you say—"
“Your daughter rushed over shouting ‘Li Lang, Li Lang!’ Who is Li Lang? Don’t pretend you don’t know. Anyway, I’m not her father, and I don’t know any Li Lang, Wang Lang, Zhang Lang, or Big White Wolf.”
"Insolence!" Thunder Emperor roared, his anger blazing. "How dare you be so disrespectful! Do you know who I am?!"
Chang Yubai said calmly, "I only speak human language to people."
Li Qingyun: Holy crap, has this idiot gone mad?
Chang Yubai, do you know what you're saying?! Are you blind? The person opposite you is Lei Huang!
Thunder Emperor of the Venerable Martial Realm!
They're among the top tier players across the entire Guanwu Continent!
Li Qingyun's heart had been on a rollercoaster all day, with ups and downs that never stopped. Just when he thought he was finally going to land safely, Chang Yubai would pull him to bravely climb to the top.
Look at the situation! Weren't you perfectly obedient when you were being dragged and threatened by that man in purple when you first entered the city?
Li Qingyun's mind raced, trying to come up with a few ways to save the day. Putting aside rhetoric, the key was to keep this madman Chang Yubai calm.
Something's been off ever since Chang Yubai threw him aside and started beating Lian Wushuang.
Is this guy completely irrational?
"Brother! Chang Yubai, don't be impulsive, don't act rashly. Have you forgotten what your master told you to remember? Don't get angry, keep your heart at peace!"
And what's with that sword-wielding, guarded stance you're taking on?! Do you really want to take on the Thunder Emperor one-on-one?
If you can beat them, then accept the challenge!
You're just asking for death, can't you at least consider my existence?! I'm not dead yet! I absorbed the purple-clad man's life force and I'm still alive and well, so please save me!
Li Qingyun roared inwardly.
Let's see how Chang Yubai reacts.
It seems like they didn't listen at all.
His motionless appearance and unchanging posture make it hard to believe that he is capable of thinking.
