Chapter 2288 - 2288 Not Rescuing
2288 Not Rescuing
The crimson-gold flames and the golden lightning intertwined, and the chaotic and dazzling light illuminated the deepest part of the lightning pool.
The black chains were wrapped in the hot flames and began to tremble violently!
Whoosh—
The chains tightened, almost hanging Yi Zhao to death here!
Mu Dongyou—who was calmly cultivating nearby—sensed this commotion. He immediately opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the flames!
!!
The force around Yi Zhao had already begun to burn crazily, and a rich b.l.o.o.d.y aura spread.
Mu Dongyou’s heart sank, and he immediately ran in that direction! “This Yi Zhao—is he crazy!?”
…
At the same time, the cultivators in the lightning pool also felt that something was wrong.
The flickering lightning bolts inexplicably became anxious and began to swim around violently.
Several cries of pain came from the lightning pool, and right on the heels of that, figures quickly escaped from it and rushed to the sh.o.r.e.
Everyone standing on the sh.o.r.e was shocked when they saw this scene and retreated one after another.
“The lightning pool is in chaos!” someone shouted in a panic.
The people who had quickly escaped looked disheveled.
Some of them even had many wounds on their bodies because they could not flee in time. They were dripping with blood and were badly mangled.
“Quickly look!” A man standing on the reef suddenly pointed ahead.
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction he was pointing and immediately gasped.
In the vast lightning pool, countless silver lightning bolts seemed to have been summoned and were quickly gathering in the middle!
Because there were too many of them, these heavenly lightning bolts also collided fiercely with each other. For a moment, sparks flew, but their speed wasn’t affected at all.
It was precisely because of this that many cultivators who were involved couldn’t help but be affected, and some were injured—lightly or severely.
“How did that happen?” In the dead silence, someone couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice, his eyes filled with shock.
n.o.body answered him. They had no answer to this question.
“There are still people who haven’t come out!” Song Qing, who had finally escaped, had just come ash.o.r.e when he looked back and said worriedly.
Looking at the lightning pool from where they were, they could still see a few figures struggling to come over.
But at this moment, all the heavenly lightning was rus.h.i.+ng toward the center. Their actions were no different from going against the current situation, and it was extremely dangerous.
Usually, when these lightning bolts were in a normal state, their lethality was already terrifying enough. Many people had to be careful when entering the lightning pool. If they weren’t careful, they might return with a wound.
Now, the danger level increased several times in an instant! Not to mention being safe and sound, even coming out alive was a problem!
“Help—”
Sure enough, a panicked cry for help came from the lightning pool very quickly.
Everyone standing on the sh.o.r.e looked at each other.
Song Qing took a step forward hesitantly, but eventually stopped after taking a look at his injuries.
It wasn’t easy for him to come out. If he went back again… Not to mention saving someone, he might not be able to come out either.
Soon, a few waves surged over and quickly swallowed those figures.
Only a few of them were still struggling.
“Please—please, help!”
This time, Song Qing heard it clearly. It was actually Cheng Pei’s voice.
He frowned.
Ever since Cheng Pei found out that this lightning pool could temper the Holy Body, he seemed to be addicted and came here frequently.
Gradually, he was no longer satisfied with just staying at the edge; he began to try to go in bit by bit. Even though doing this would cause him to be in a sorry state and be covered in injuries every time, these were almost not worth mentioning compared to the power he obtained.
Song Qing had also advised him not to keep doing this.
Although tempering one’s Holy Body in the lightning pool could quickly increase one’s strength, its effects were limited and had drawbacks. It wasn’t a problem to use this method once or twice, but it was a little too much to do it often.
If he really wanted to become stronger, it was best to cultivate diligently.
However, why would Cheng Pei listen to him? He urgently wanted to become stronger, especially after hearing a lot about Chu Liuyue recently. The fire in his heart burned brighter and brighter, and he wished he could immediately stimulate all his potential so that he could step on her.
Therefore, he disregarded his safety and headed deeper into the lightning pool.
Who knew that such a shocking change would happen!?
“With such a commotion, those who haven’t come out yet are probably dead…”
“The Fourth Deity is still in the depths of the lightning pool. Will he save them?”
“This… I’m afraid it’s hard to say, right? With the lightning pool rioting, how could the Fourth Deity have the time and energy to care about this?”
“That’s true. Eh, there seems to be someone over there? That’s—Si Jing?”
“It should be him, right? Hasn’t he been coming every day recently, and he goes further than the others every time. However, why do I feel that these lightning bolts don’t pose much of a threat to him? Look—he’s coming this way!”
Si Jing’s name had been very famous in the lightning pool recently. It wasn’t just because he came often, but also due to the fact that he would enter the depths of the lightning pool and stay inside for a long time.
More importantly, he had never been injured once!
Everyone watched helplessly as he became stronger every time he came out. Moreover, he didn’t seem to be in any pain and was always in high spirits.
As time pa.s.sed, people didn’t even have the mood to be jealous because sometimes you couldn’t compare yourself to a pervert.
This time, many cultivators were trapped in the lightning pool and tortured. When their lives were in danger, Si Jing was indeed still calm.
Si Jing was originally hitting stones with his small hammer below, but halfway through, he realized that something was wrong.
When he saw the surrounding heavenly lightning surging into the depths of the lightning pool, his first reaction was to follow and take a look. However, he remembered that he had been warned by the Fourth Deity previously, so he gave up on this idea and turned to leave.
He strode through the lightning pool.
Countless silver lightning bolts surged around him, but they all tactfully dodged. This made Si Jing almost unhindered and unthreatened as he headed for the sh.o.r.e smoothly.
“Save! Save me!”
As Si Jing walked, he heard a cry for help.
Si Jing turned to take a look. Oh, it’s an acquaintance.
At this moment, Cheng Pei also saw Si Jing clearly. His expression stiffened, but it was only for a moment before he continued to shout, “Si Jing! As long as you get me out, I—”
“No!” Si Jing left without hesitation. What a joke. Cheng Pei has forgotten how he treated Master previously, but I—Si Jing—haven’t forgotten!
Save him? I’m already being kind enough by not stepping on him!
