I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Chapter 118 Thunder

March 21st of the Gregorian calendar.

It rained heavily in the early morning, and the sky was covered with dark clouds with flashes of lightning between the clouds.

At this time, on the empty forest path, a young man was walking slowly towards the distance with an umbrella.

When they arrived at the foot of a mountain, the young man looked up at the high peak that pierced the sky, his eyes full of determination.

You must pay to gain, this is the eternal law of heaven and earth.

Since he wants to take a shortcut, he can accept paying a certain price.

Without stopping, Gu Nian'an walked towards the top of the mountain step by step.

On the mountain path, soldiers in black armor stood upright on both sides of the path, completely ignoring the pouring rain.

Walking all the way through the mountainside to the top of the mountain, looking at the already arranged venue in front of him, Gu Nian'an's expression was calm and solemn.

"Young Master Gu's martial arts requires gradual progress. If you rush for quick success, you will end up falling behind.

Besides, you are still young and shouldn’t take such risks.”

Of course he understood this principle, but his uncle was still waiting for him to rescue him, and he had to find a way to get his master and his junior sister out of the underworld.

Time. What he lacks most now is time.

Gently removing the scarf from her eyes, Gu Nian'an turned around and handed it to the person in front of her.

"Mrs. Jiang, could you please keep this for me for a while? This is a gift from a friend and I don't want it to be damaged."

"Alas! Young Master Gu, you...~"

"Madam, there is no need to say more. Everyone has his own path to take. Since he dared to make such a decision, I think he is aware of the consequences."

After hearing what her husband said beside her, Ye Jinxiu had to swallow the next words back into her stomach.

Reaching out to take the silk scarf handed to her, Ye Jinxiu looked at the young man in front of her with complicated eyes.

Then he clasped his hands and said, "Then I wish Young Master Gu success."

"Um"

After watching the two of them leave, Jiang Xiao took a few steps before turning to Gu Nian'an and said, "Boy, you're quite brave. If you survive, I'll buy you a drink."

Gu Nian'an smiled and shook his head. "I don't drink, but we can have tea together."

Wait until the two figures completely disappeared in the rain.

"Hu" Gu Nian'an let out a long breath.

It's time to start. He looked at the stars yesterday and knew that the thunderstorm would last all day, and should last until he completes the process of drawing lightning into his body.

Walking slowly into the pavilion and putting the umbrella aside, Gu Nian'an squatted down and reached out to touch the warm medicine liquid in the pool.

Then he stood up, took off his clothes, took out three pills and swallowed them.

All the preparations have been completed. Now it’s time to see if your life is strong enough.

He walked step by step towards the center of the medicine pool until the dark liquid sank into his chest.

He reached into the medicine pool with both hands, picked up two thumb-thick iron chains and wrapped them around his arms.

After doing all this, Gu Nian stood quietly in the middle of the medicine pool. After a moment of thinking, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly, traces of azure arcs appeared around him.

The electric arc spread along the iron chain all the way to the eight thick iron pillars surrounding the pavilion.

Then it went up along the criss-crossing iron chains until it reached a four or five-meter-long copper stick on the top of the pavilion.

In an instant, the copper stick on the top of the pavilion was covered with a layer of blue. At this moment, the sky changed color, dark clouds covered the sky, and blue lightning shuttled back and forth between the clouds, as if echoing the lightning on the top of the pavilion.

"boom!"

Blue lightning fell from the sky and struck the pavilion.

The moment the electric light came into contact, the copper rods, iron pillars, and chains were all dyed a layer of azure blue.

"Stab!"

Wherever the thunder passed, the rainwater and medicine were evaporated into water vapor and surrounded the pavilion.

"Ok!"

A muffled groan.

Gu Nian'an was immersed in a potion filled with thunder, his skin was torn and his body was charred black, with bright red blood dripping from his wounds into the pot of medicine.

But at this moment, the light in his eyes was frighteningly bright, and he really was right.

The terrifying heavenly punishment from Xiao Qingfeng didn't kill him, so a mere ordinary thunder couldn't take his life.

He gritted his teeth and tried hard to stay awake, focusing all his attention on his dantian according to the method recorded in "Ruyi Jin".

Imagine that all the energy in your body is continuously converging there to form a vortex.

Gradually, gradually, a blue light lit up in his dantian.

In an instant, Gu Nian'an's eyes bulged out, and his abdomen felt as if a ball of burning charcoal was stuffed into it, burning him so much that he felt like dying.

At this moment, he only felt his legs go weak, and it seemed as if all the bones in his body were pulled out.

He staggered and fell directly into the medicine pool.

"Gudong, Gudong"

After drinking two sips of the medicine, Gu Nian'an grabbed the chain with both hands and finally stabilized his body.

"boom"

Another bolt of thunder struck, and the entire mountaintop surrounded by clouds was dyed azure blue.

Before he could react, lightning pierced his body, and in an instant it seemed as if millions of knives were cutting back and forth on his body.

"Um"

He clenched his teeth and held the chains with both hands, making them creak.

Gu Nian'an slowly raised his head. His eyes were bloodshot and a trickle of blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"what"

A sound like the howling of a wild beast shook the mountains and forests. Even the thick fog that originally shrouded the pavilion was greatly impacted and was forcibly dispersed by the earthquake.

At this moment, a hint of viciousness flashed in Gu Nian'an's scarlet eyes.

If we continue like this, there is only one way to go, and that is death. So we might as well go even crazier.

Gu Nian'an took a deep breath and tried to relax his mind.

He clenched his teeth and forced himself to endure the piercing pain. He knew that if he distracted himself and felt the pain at this moment, he would only fall into a deeper desperate situation.

So Gu Nian'an tried his best to ignore the pain in his body and concentrated on practicing Ruyi Jin to absorb the electric light around his body. He then continuously spread the thunder in his dantian to all the meridians in his body.

"Shh, shh, shh"

His skin cracked, blood splattered, and scars appeared on his charred body.

Ignoring the injuries on his body, Gu Nian'an was still firmly practicing Ruyi Jin to absorb and spread the thunder around him.

With the help of the elixir and his own special body, as long as he can keep his life, everything else is a small matter.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Blue lightning flashed through the air like snakes, accompanied by deafening thunder, as if tearing the sky and earth apart.

At this moment, the top of Taiyue Peak was completely covered by a layer of dense lightning, creating a heart-pounding scene.

"Husband, do you think he can survive?"

Jiang Xiao raised his head and looked at the mountain top in the distance that was wrapped in thunder and was silent for a moment.

Using human power to fight against the power of nature, it would only be a miracle if one could survive.

Leaning her head gently on her husband's shoulder, Ye Jinxiu looked towards the distant mountain top with a complicated look in her eyes.

You are obviously a promising young man, why don't you cherish your life?
