Xiaoxi and the Taoist priest were simultaneously repelled by each other's spiritual power.
The two men, along with a rat and a leopard, stared in disbelief at the sky.
The clouds in the sky churned, and lightning flashed as they rushed in.
The Taoist priest suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed gleefully.
Xiaoxi was confused: Why was he laughing?
A thunderbolt struck from the sky, and a bolt of lightning shot down, hitting Xiaoxi in the back.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
The lightning seemed to have struck her, tearing her flesh and bones apart and dislocating her cells.
"A lightning tribulation? How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator like me be subject to a lightning tribulation?" Xiao Xi couldn't believe it.
The thunder seemed to freeze for a moment that day.
When the lightning struck again, Xiaoxi was prepared. She circulated her spiritual energy to resist. Huh? This time it didn't seem to hurt as much.
Xiaoxi was struck by lightning three times in a row.
The Taoist priest's laughter abruptly stopped, as a large thunderbolt suddenly struck him.
"ah!"
The lightning was truly fierce, tearing the Taoist priest's robe to shreds. The wound Xiao Xi had inflicted earlier had completely exploded, leaving him a bloody mess.
He covered his head to avoid the lightning, but the lightning struck with pinpoint accuracy, hitting him squarely with each strike.
Compared to now, the lightning strike Xiaoxi just suffered was nothing.
"Why? Why? Why is it that she broke through and I have to suffer this tribulation?"
Why? It was clearly my turn to break through to the Golden Core stage, but she stole my chance!
The Taoist priest roared with heart-wrenching, unwilling cries.
He leaped up, trying to escape off the altar, but it was as if he had hit a glass dome and bounced back.
He didn't know that because he hadn't kept his promise and hadn't offered the blood of young boys and girls, he would only suffer the severe backlash from his own formation.
So the Taoist priest was practically trapped in a glass dome, and five bolts of lightning struck him, leaving him on the verge of death.
"Damn you, Heaven! You're unfair! I refuse to accept this! For five hundred years, the Xiongda people have worked diligently and conscientiously..."
He leaped into the air again with great effort, and a bolt of lightning, gathering its strongest power, struck down.
Xiao Xi saw the Taoist priest flying in mid-air when he suddenly exploded into countless magical artifacts, silver coins, talismans, precious medicinal herbs, and all sorts of pots and pans, covering the altar.
Xiaoxi: Did his storage bag explode and break?
Then the Taoist priest—no, a black bear—landed on the treasures it had collected throughout its life, bounced them twice, and then remained still.
Xiaoxi was stunned.
"Sigh! Who told him to go astray and become a heretic cultivator? What can he do if he's unwilling? In this world, spiritual energy is scarce, and it's already difficult for beasts to cultivate. He's wasted a good hand!"
Xiaoxi was startled.
"Who is it? Who is speaking?" The pronunciation is so strange.
Suddenly, Xiaoxi's eyes met those of the black leopard.
"Black Panther, is that you speaking?"
"Xiaoxi, did you understand what I said?"
Xiaoxi and Black Panther spoke at the same time, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"Cough! I almost forgot, now is not the time for idle chatter."
"Xiaoxi, hurry! The best time to carve out the bear's gallbladder and refine it is while it's still warm!"
Xiaoxi quickly followed suit.
She sat down cross-legged, and the crescent moon, suspended in mid-air, emitted streaks of purple light, indicating a successful upgrade.
Xiao Xi accepted the Crescent Moon.
"Thank you, Black Panther. You saved me just now, gave me a golden pill to help me break through, and even upgraded my weapon."
"Hey, Xiaoxi, I'm also trying to protect myself. Let's make it a win-win situation!"
Suddenly, someone couldn't hold back any longer.
"Hey! Little sister, come and help me, I'd love to thank you! My legs are still tied up!"
