Chapter 598: Lu Shu’s Trauma
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
From Chen Zuan’s point of view, Lu Shu had disappeared for so long, and in that period of time, purple lightning had mysteriously struck. This evidently had something to do with what was happening underground.
“Let’s go. Hurry up and see what happened there!” Chen Zuan led the group towards where the lightning had struck. If Lu Shu had been struck, they could still save him if they hurried…
As far as Chen Zuan knew, lightning usually would not strike people. But there was a saying in China, if you have committed many wicked deeds, be careful not to be struck by lightning. Chen Zuan felt that Lu Shu fit in this category of people… in the past, Chen Zuan would wonder why lightning had not struck Lu Shu. But in the end, he was struck…
A group of experts from the Heavenly Network ran towards the point where the lightning struck. At the same time, Lu Shu had an extremely unpleasant premonition. Earlier, the lightning had turned the stones and soil around him into fine dust.
From Lu Shu’s point of view, the purple lightning had descended like a dragon.
“What…” Lu Shu was annoyed. “A divine punishment!!”
How could he have forgotten about this? Legend had it that such dragons delivered divine punishments. But all along, Lu Shu had thought that it was no more than just a legend, thus he did not pay much attention to it. It did not occur to him from the beginning.
Lu Shu suddenly remembered how back then, he had recalled Hai Gongzi before he could even finish speaking. Why didn’t he let him finish his sentence?!
It’s over. It’s all over. No matter how strong Lu Shu was, he could not endure a thunderbolt as powerful as this…
At that moment, the four golden pillars by Lu Shu started to s.h.i.+ne brilliantly. The rays of light traveled upwards towards the thunderbolt. It was facing the thunderbolt head-on!
There was a crash of thunder, as if it had been present since time immemorial. The pillars started to collapse. One, two, three, all four of the pillars completely collapsed and crumbled!
When the pillars crumbled, Lu Shu could see that within every single pillar, there was a golden bird spirit. It was magnificent and gorgeous. The birds were annihilated in the thunderbolt.
Lu Shu suddenly felt that he had been locked and could not escape. But as the purple lightning smashed the golden pillars into bits, it seemed like it had been significantly weakened!
Cras.h.!.+ Lu Shu came into contact with the thunderbolt. He was not someone who would allow himself to be captured once he was tied up. He opened up the Seal of Lands and took out the purple golden gourd. He placed it above his head, making it have the first contact with the lightning! He used the purple golden gourd as a cover!
The purple golden gourd was confused.
If lightning really struck, it would definitely first strike the purple golden gourd before it could get to Lu Shu. A mysterious flying dagger jumped out of the purple golden gourd and flew towards the lightning. He really had no choice. If he did not attack the lightning, he would be the first to be attacked!
If it were not for the thunderbolt in front of it, the purple golden gourd would have attacked its owner instead!
Lu Shu made his move as well. Two flying swords flew upwards, attempting to cut through the thunder and lightning. The Cheng Ying sword in his hands sliced the air without any hesitation. The air started to distort.
There was a loud noise, followed by silence. Lu Shu, in a daze, heard someone shout from above him, “Brother Shu, have you been struck by lightning, Brother Shu?”
Lu Shu lay on the ground, slowly opening his eyes and looking at the moon through the hole above his head. “No, you’ve got it wrong…”
Before he could finish speaking, there was another roar of thunder. Lu Shu sprang up. But nothing followed afterwards…
Lu Shu gave a cold laugh. “Ha ha.”
Dejected, he lay down once again. He had barely survived. No wonder Hai Gongzi had said that the dragon was more difficult to deal with.
In the past, he had still said that Chaos was the easiest to deal with. But this was the most impressive. It had caused him to be struck by lightning…
Lu Shu felt a bit sorry for the four golden pillars. If he had been able to keep them for himself, he would have been able to use the golden birds when he reached Cla.s.s A…
He looked at the Seal of Lands. The purple golden gourd was burnt black. Even the flying sword within it had turned black… it seemed as if the flying dagger had sensed Lu Shu’s desperation and flew out in an attempt to attack…
Chen Zuan threw down a rope. Chen Hao pulled the rope while Chen Zuan slowly made his way down the hole. Chen Zuan observed that the man-eating lizards in the hole had been wiped out. There were no lizards in sight. Even the golden pillars had turned into dust.
Thus, from Chen Zuan’s point of view, there was nothing in the cave except for Lu Shu. At first, he had wanted to find an excuse for Lu Shu, but there was no one but Lu Shu. If the lightning did not strike Lu Shu, then who did it strike…
Chen Zuan said with a heavy tone, “Brother Shu, please be a good person from now on. Don’t get struck by lightning anymore…”
“Go away,” Lu Shu sat on the floor and said in a bad mood. He had no strength left in his body. He could not even get up.
Chen Zuan tied Lu Shu to his back and climbed up the rope. As he climbed, he asked, “Brother Shu, are there still man-eating lizards underground?”
To speak the truth, Chen Zuan greatly respected Lu Shu. Other than his Second Master Chen Baili and Heavenly King Nie, the person he respected most was Lu Shu. He could mysteriously be struck by lightning while underground, and even survive such a strong thunderbolt…
He was very clear that Lu Shu must have encountered something underground that caused this to happen. But since Lu Shu did not say anything, he did not ask anything either. Chen Zuan knew that if it were him, he would definitely not survive…
As for the adventures Lu Shu had encountered underground, perhaps Lu Shu would tell him at a later time.
The moment Chen Zuan brought Lu Shu up to the ground, there was a roll of thunder. Lu Shu looked up and saw lightning hidden within the clouds. He shouted, “Run! You’re not done yet, are you?!”
Chen Zuan panicked and ran wildly. When they had arrived, it was just the two of them, Chen Zuan and Chen Hao. Now, the three of them started to run for their lives in the desert.
In the end… rain started to fall. There was a drizzle in this arid desert. That sound of thunder… it was just an ordinary sound of thunder.
Lu Shu felt that for the next one and a half years, he would be traumatized whenever he heard the sound of thunder… ha ha.
Lu Shu lay down inside the tent. His face was pitch black. He looked like he had just received a perm as a result of the lightning…
He could not enter the ruins for the time being. Even with his current physique, he would need at least two to three days to fully recover. He could also replenish his aurablade within this period of time. He had come here for the ruins, but in the end he was injured even before entering the remains.
He could only hope that the remains would not close so quickly. But Lu Shu did not have much regrets. He had reaped a fair bit of benefits.
At that moment, Lu Shu suddenly realized that every single sword prototype in his sea of chi was surrounded by purple lightning!
