Chapter 982: Chapter 981: These Bastards, Will They Ever Stop? (2 More Updates)

Dozens of lightning bolts struck the iron staff. Ye Haochuan had already prepared himself to face death. But what puzzled him was that he felt none of the numbness that should come from being struck by lightning.

”What’s going on?”

Ye Haochuan quickly opened his eyes and saw the lightning flash and then vanish on the iron staff, completely disappearing.

Damn it, I knew it! Someone at the Core Formation Stage wouldn’t be carrying around just an ordinary iron staff!

And Qinglei, seriously? She lied to me back then, saying this staff only had her spiritual imprint on it. This is clearly a treasure!

Ye Haochuan felt lucky—if he hadn’t kept the iron staff, he’d be dead for sure this time.

”You idiot! If you had something like this, why didn’t you bring it out earlier? You scared me half to death!” Long Piaoying hit Ye Haochuan on the chest angrily, her eyes full of rebuke.

Hell, if I had known it had such capabilities, would I have struggled so much?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t be bothered to explain and simply said, ”I’ll explain later. Let’s get out of here first.”

Long Piaoying knew the situation wasn’t favorable either, stopped asking, and followed Ye Haochuan.

”Impossible! They didn’t die?” The Hellfire group was utterly stunned.

”What do we do now?”

”What else can we do? Charge in!” Ino Shirō barked with a grim expression.

”Are you joking? This is Lei Ze. Going in is as good as courting death!”

”You all need to think carefully. This is the order from the Elder. If the mission isn’t completed, you die anyway! Whether to go in or not is up to you!”

Ino Shirō gave a cold snort and stormed straight into Lei Ze.

The others exchanged worried looks. But remembering that failing the mission would not only mean their deaths but also implicate their families, they hesitated no further and followed him inside.

Crack!

Lightning wasn’t going to show them any mercy. Just as they entered Lei Ze, several bolts of lightning greeted them.

”Defend together!”

At Ino Shirō’s command, everyone conjured their spiritual energy to create a multi-layered protective shield.

Unfortunately, the shield couldn’t withstand the lightning for long. A sharp ”ping” rang out as it shattered into pieces.

”Argh!”

Ino Shirō spat out a mouthful of blood and was flung backward. When he looked back, he found the rest of his team burned to charcoal.

”How... how is it this strong?”

Ino Shirō’s face was full of terror, but before he could comprehend further, a second bolt of lightning struck, reducing him to ash.

”If you don’t have the right tools for the job, why try to take it on? You’re asking to die!” Ye Haochuan laughed in satisfaction as he watched the pursuers annihilated.

But in the next moment, his smile froze.

The thundercloud suddenly erupted in fury, unleashing countless bolts of lightning like torrential rain, as though intent on obliterating everything.

What the hell is this now? Did this damn cloud take a personal grudge against me?

Ye Haochuan’s face turned ashen, worse than someone mourning their father.

”No way, we have to get out of here fast! Even if this iron staff is incredible, it can’t withstand this endless thunderstorm!” Long Piaoying reminded him anxiously.

Ye Haochuan immediately snapped back to reality and quickly scanned his surroundings. Ahead lay dense storm clouds, with no end in sight. The best option now was to retreat the way they came.

Luckily, with the pursuers wiped out, retreating posed little danger.

”Let’s go back!”

As the words left his mouth, the two bolted out at full speed.

Just then, the iron staff that had absorbed wave after wave of lightning began humming, and its surface grew scorching hot.

Ye Haochuan furrowed his brows deeply. He realized the iron staff was reaching its limit. Fortunately, with their rapid escape, they were now close to the edge of Lei Ze.

But fate had different plans. Out of nowhere, the dark thundercloud didn’t unleash a storm but instead fired a massive bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl directly at Ye Haochuan.

Ye Haochuan had countless suspicions that the thundercloud was sentient. How else could it single them out so relentlessly?

Before he could curse out loud, the iron staff in his hand was suddenly snatched away.

Boom!

The giant lightning bolt struck the iron staff precisely, shattering it into fragments with a sharp ”crack.”

Though most of the thunderbolt’s energy was absorbed by the staff, some still leaked through and surged into Long Piaoying’s body.

”Argh!”

Long Piaoying spat out blood uncontrollably, but she didn’t waste a second, dragging Ye Haochuan out of Lei Ze.

Ye Haochuan was dumbfounded. If Long Piaoying hadn’t taken the iron staff, the residual lightning alone would’ve killed him.

This foolish woman, saving me like that—doesn’t she worry I’ll fall for her?

Thankfully, after their relentless effort, they finally escaped Lei Ze.

”Are you okay?” Ye Haochuan inspected Long Piaoying’s injuries with concern.

Thankfully, though she suffered internal injuries, her life wasn’t in danger. Healing her, however, would require considerable effort.

Ye Haochuan was about to focus on treating Long Piaoying when he noticed a shadow looming in the distance.

”Those bastards again? Will it ever end?”

Ye Haochuan was so furious that he nearly spat blood. The iron staff was gone. He couldn’t rely on Lei Ze anymore to eliminate the pursuers. The only option left was to keep running.

But their cultivation wasn’t strong to begin with, and Long Piaoying was injured. How could they outrun Hellfire’s troops? Soon enough, the figures started growing larger.

”Damn!”

Ye Haochuan cursed repeatedly, unable to understand why Hellfire’s people seemed hell-bent on chasing him.

”Roar!”

As he despaired, a thunderous roar echoed not far ahead.

What the hell? Could my luck be this bad, running into demon beasts at a time like this?

Ye Haochuan’s heart sank, but when he saw the large figure approaching quickly, he let out a sigh of relief.

The one coming wasn’t a stranger—it was the Purple Extreme Lightning Lion he had released to give birth.

Indeed, the Purple Extreme Lightning Lion felt through its blood covenant with Ye Haochuan that he was in danger, and hurried over. Ye Haochuan had been so tense that he hadn’t even noticed.

”Good timing!”

Ye Haochuan burst into laughter and immediately carried Long Piaoying onto the wide back of the Purple Extreme Lightning Lion, fleeing at full speed.

Though the Purple Extreme Lightning Lion was only at the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage and couldn’t fight off Hellfire’s troops, its incredible running speed left the pursuers far behind in no time.

Finally, Ye Haochuan exhaled in relief. After running for so long, the physical and mental strain had pushed him to his limit.

”Howl!”

Just then, the Purple Extreme Lightning Lion let out a sorrowful cry, and its speed began to drop.

Ye Haochuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly checked the beast. It looked twisted in pain as if enduring immense suffering.

Upon closer examination, Ye Haochuan’s face darkened.

Damn heavens, are you trying to toy with me? Is it really giving birth now?
