Chapter 294: Breaking Through the Heavenly Thunder

Bai He gritted his teeth.

The second heavenly thunder struck.

He could not help but gasp for breath.

After his injuries had finally recovered a little, they were now becoming even more severe again.

His hands pressed against the ground and his arms began to trembling.

After tremblingly taking out a pill, he swallowed it.

Then he sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

No matter what, he absolutely could not give up.

No matter what, there was no turning back now.

Even if it meant dying from the pain, he still had to complete it.

"Host, are you alright?"

Mo Zhu actually sounded concerned now.

Bai He only felt that it was being hypocritical.

But at this moment...

In a daze, the third and fourth heavenly thunders struck one after another.

Bai He’s body swayed and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Master."

Ye Shiyuan finally could not hold himself back anymore and rushed to Bai He’s side.

He then supported him and preventing him from collapsing.

At this moment, Bai He truly looked extremely fragile, his body covered in injuries.

His clothes were stained clearly with blood, even at the corners of his mouth.

He was biting his lip... enduring it.

He barely made a sound, even though his whole body was trembling.

"Master?"

Bai He was already somewhat dazed.

In his blurred state, he saw Ye Shiyuan looking at him with a face full of anxiety.

Rumble~

The fifth and sixth heavenly thunders followed closely.

Bai He suddenly widened his eyes.

His instinctive reaction deep in his bones was to push Ye Shiyuan away, but his entire body was held tightly in his embrace and he could not move at all.

Ye Shiyuan raised his other hand and blocked the descent of those two heavenly thunders.

He trembled slightly.

Bai He was very close to Ye Shiyuan’s heart, and he seemed to hear something shattering.

Bai He immediately understood.

That was the sound of the Dragon Heart Protecting Scale breaking.

In other words, the power of these two heavenly thunders had already exceeded Ye Shiyuan’s limit of resistance.

Although his heart was protected by the Dragon Heart Protecting Scale, it also placed some restrictions on Ye Shiyuan’s strength.

Once the Dragon Heart Protecting Scale no longer protected Ye Shiyuan’s heart, he would indeed become much stronger, but it would also become very difficult for him to conceal his aura.

From then on, many people would target him and he would likely become even more dangerous.

The determined look in Ye Shiyuan’s eyes did not change.

He remembered Bai He telling him that there was nothing he could not do.

Today would be the same.

He naturally felt the change in his heart, but it was no longer important.

In a daze, it felt as if some power was slowly entering his body.

The heart that had originally been in tearing pain suddenly felt a great relief.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Bai He who had already regained consciousness transferring his little remaining spiritual energy into him.

Clearly, he was already at his limit.

"Shiyuan, no matter what, the Dragon Heart Protecting Scale is very important. You will never have another opportunity to obtain a it again."

Once it was gone, it was gone.

Searching for another Dragon Heart Protecting Scale was almost impossible.

It was indeed very important, but it was far less important than Bai He.

Ye Shiyuan felt warmth in his heart.

He should not have doubted his Master.

He truly should not have questioned or doubted him.

He treated him so well.

He was the best person to him in this world.

Bai He did not know how much time had passed.

He only knew that later on, he really could not hold on anymore in a dazed state and then he fainted.

When he woke up, what entered his eyes was a pure and bright moonlight.

The injuries on his body seemed to have almost fully healed.

He then sat up but did not see Ye Shiyuan.

"Host, you are finally waking up?"

"Where is Ye Shiyuan?"

"Shiyuan carried you here and sat for a long while. Later, after covering you with a blanket, he then left. I do not know what he went to do."

He probably did not go so far as to just leave him behind and walk away like that, right?

"Ah..."

The injury on his arm was the most serious, so even now it still had not healed.

"Wait..."

Something seemed off.

"I..."

He lowered his head and looked carefully at the clothes on his body.

"Mo Zhu, where are my clothes?"

"Host, are your clothes not on your body?"

"I am not talking about that..."

Mo Zhu immediately understood.

"Oh, because of the heavenly thunder, your clothes were completely torn and tattered. So, Shiyuan kindly changed your clothes for you."

Ah?

What did it mean, kindly changed his clothes?

Mo Zhu did not think there was anything wrong with that?

"Master."

Ye Shiyuan returned carrying a pile of firewood.

After placing it on the ground, he used a spell to ignite it and the surroundings suddenly became a bit warmer.

"Master, is there still anywhere that feels unwell?"

Ye Shiyuan’s expression looked slightly awkward, but he still remained calm as he looked at Bai He.

Yet under Bai He’s probing gaze, and with his hesitant expression, he seemed somewhat uneasy.

"Shiyuan, do you have nothing you want to tell me?"

"Master should let me share the burden with you next time."

"I... I am talking about you changing my clothes. Should you not give me a reasonable explanation?"

Even if his clothes were torn, Ye Shiyuan could have simply found something to cover him, for example that blanket.

That would have been enough.

There was really no need for him to personally change his clothes.

Ye Shiyuan spoke very softly.

He lowering his head as he slowly explained, as if trying to justify himself.
