Chapter 625: This Is Just the Beginning
The force within Chu Liuyue’s body and the lightning bolt’s strength fought intensely as they ripped and tore each other apart.
Every inch of her blood, muscle, and skeleton was being tortured again and again. Following the heart-wrenching pain, her physical body’s tolerance was also gradually strengthening.
It seemed as though she couldn’t feel pain as she stood there upright and endured the striking lightning bolts.
The third bolt!
Fourth!
Fifth!
…
Ninth!
Stars gathered on the Cloud-Sky Copper Sword as though it was a horizontal silver river in the night sky.
It was dazzling and mesmerizing. The pure and clean peacock-blue fire quietly burned on top and almost became one with the sword body.
The fire was scorching, but the stars were ice-cold. The two extreme forces intersected and formed a stunning suppression.
A bright lightning-like pattern appeared on the sword hilt.
"Girl, this pattern contains the nine lightning bolts’ strength!" Shangguan Jing couldn’t conceal the happiness in his voice. Even though he was very confident in Chu Liuyue previously, he was still extremely surprised when he actually saw this scene. I really didn’t judge her wrongly! Chu Liuyue has unimaginable perseverance and determination! With her patience and shocking talent, as well as her mysterious trump cards… Her future is limitless!
Upon hearing this, Chu Liuyue’s lips gradually curved up into a comforting smile. The previous torture she experienced seemed to become nothing at this point. As long as I can—
Hong long!
Another loud sound reverberated in her ears.
Chu Liuyue looked up in shock and saw that the dark clouds didn’t dissipate.
Another lightning bolt appeared within the black spiral.
"W-what’s that?" Chu Liuyue widened her eyes.
Shangguan Jing coughed. "Oh, that? That’s the tenth lightning bolt!"
Chu Liuyue: "…Didn’t you previously say nine bolts—"
"Ahem. Girl, I previously said at least nine bolts…"
Chu Liuyue was dazed as she tried to recall in detail. That really seems true… I think…
She had just survived nine lightning bolts and was too excited, so she actually forgot about this.
Seeing the silver lightning bolt that was obviously much thicker than before, Chu Liuyue felt her throat go dry. "…Ancestor, does this mean… I still have to endure another nine lightning bolts?"
Shangguan Jing placed his hands behind his back and looked up into the sky, trying his best not to let Chu Liuyue see the guilt on his face. "Ah, um… I guess…"
Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched. I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but I feel that the Ancestor seems amiss. However, I can’t pinpoint exactly what is wrong.
Without waiting for her to think much, the tenth lightning bolt was already striking down.
Chu Liuyue stood with her legs apart and knees slightly bent as she held the Cloud-Sky Copper Sword tightly in her hands.
The next moment, the blinding light instantly covered her vision.
Strength that was even more intense than the previous nine bolts descended along the Cloud-Sky Copper Sword and immediately surged into her body.
Numerous bloody wounds immediately exploded in Chu Liuyue’s body, and blood splattered everywhere.
