Chapter 1148 - 1248: Thunder and Lightning Monster

Just as Ye Tianfan was still marveling at the speed of Taichu Zhenren, flying much faster than him.

Ye Tianfan suddenly felt a life-threatening crisis sensation coming from behind them.

But at that moment, Ye Tianfan had no way to turn his head to look.

It was because the wind pressure from Taichu Zhenren's rapid flight made Ye Tianfan unable to open his eyes.

However, from the death threat he sensed from behind, Ye Tianfan could determine that it should be a flash of lightning, and it was rushing towards them very quickly.

Taichu Zhenren also sensed a lightning bolt behind them, so he made a quick turn, trying to dodge it, but who would have thought that after his sharp turn, the lightning also followed a sharp turn and lashed towards them.

Taichu Zhenren knew that the lightning definitely had tracking ability, so he quickly turned around, holding the Xiao Yao sword, and fiercely slashed towards the lightning.

It wasn't that Taichu Zhenren wanted to oppose the Power of Heaven and Earth with a mortal's body, but if he didn't, they would eventually be hit by the lightning.

After all, Taichu Zhenren had been flying for a long time, and even at high speed, the persistent lightning caught up, proving that the lightning was faster. Therefore, if Taichu Zhenren kept flying forward without dealing with this lightning, in a few minutes, it would catch up, and by then, dodging would be hopeless.

After Taichu Zhenren slashed his sword, he quickly turned and flew backwards. He slashed to buy some time from the lightning to give them a chance to escape.

However, right after Taichu Zhenren slashed, unbeknownst to him, the lightning did not get delayed but stopped actively and transformed into a humanoid lightning monster with limbs, which directly grasped the Sword Qi in its hand, observed it for a moment, and then crushed it. Although the Power of Purification on the Sword Qi consumed some of its Thunder, Demonic, and Evil Qi, it wasn't a significant depletion to it, given it was backed by the power of the world beyond the walls.

The silhouette of the lightning monster instantly vanished and reappeared ahead of Ye Tianfan and Taichu Zhenren. When Taichu Zhenren saw, while flying, a figure filled with lightning suddenly appeared before them, he quickly stopped and was about to inquire who it was, when he realized that the lightning on the monster was the same as the lightning chasing them before. Thus, Taichu Zhenren quickly deduced this lightning monster was the transformed lightning from earlier.

"Looks like we'll have to fight. Nephew Tianfan, be careful in the fight. If you can escape and return to Big Ben during the fight, then take the chance and go back. Don't worry about me. I have plenty of opportunities to leave," Taichu Zhenren advised Ye Tianfan.

Upon hearing Taichu Zhenren's words, Ye Tianfan nodded. He knew if he stayed, he would certainly hinder Taichu Zhenren, and Taichu Zhenren could survive outside the walls independently, albeit consuming a lot of Spiritual Power, but he didn't lack that.

Ye Tianfan then retreated to the side, ready to leave first if an opportunity arose, or support Taichu Zhenren depending on the situation. After all, Ye Tianfan could use the Chaos Treasure Lotus to convert energy, which meant he could convert the energy of the lightning monster, although not guaranteed to succeed or necessarily convert much, but at least make the lightning monster pause momentarily, thus aiding Taichu Zhenren.

Taichu Zhenren also knew this lightning monster was devoid of consciousness, so after speaking to Ye Tianfan, he vanished instantly, reappearing behind the lightning monster without the slightest pause, wielding the Xiao Yao sword emitting intense white light, directly slashing towards the lightning monster's back!

And at that time, the lightning monster's back was completely unguarded.

Just as Taichu Zhenren was about to strike, suddenly a thin membrane of black-purple lightning appeared behind the lightning monster, firmly blocking Taichu Zhenren's attack!

After Taichu Zhenren's slash hit the black-purple lightning membrane, he felt he couldn't proceed further, slightly stunned, not expecting this black-purple lightning could be used not only as an attack but also as a defense!

Meanwhile, the lightning monster opened its mouth with a zizzling sound, seemingly laughing, as if ridiculing Taichu Zhenren's lack of self-awareness.

Taichu Zhenren, feeling the strength of the lightning monster's black-purple energy membrane, his face sank because he realized his seventy percent power couldn't even break this membrane.

After laughing, the lightning monster swung a punch backwards!

Seeing the lightning monster's move, Taichu Zhenren swiftly turned aside, dodging with haste. Although the lightning monster's fist didn't deliberately show any other attack methods, just being a simple punch, yet being hit even once by the inherent lightning would surely be fatal!

After Taichu Zhenren dodged, the lightning monster turned around, chuckling again with a clattering sound!

Upon hearing the lightning monster's laughter, Taichu Zhenren's brows furrowed deeper. Though he had to admit he couldn't break the lightning monster's sacred black-purple membrane, Taichu Zhenren decided to try again with full force, to see if he could break the membrane.

Taichu Zhenren's figure vanished once more, but this time he didn't appear behind the lightning monster; instead, he appeared in front, slashing directly towards it!

Taichu Zhenren also employed a technique from Taichu Peak for extra assurance.

The lightning monster did not dodge but extended a finger, blocking the inevitable path of Taichu Zhenren's Xiao Yao sword. If observed closely, the finger of the lightning monster seemed to have deepened in color!
