By now, the clouds in the sky had become extremely thick.
Since Li Xian had Shen Qing's blood in her body, the lightning tribulation for this breakthrough wouldn't be easy.
However, the Heavenly Lightning was the purest thing. It could temper the bodies and souls of cultivators and naturally disperse the resentful spirits.
Shen Qing was just waiting for the lightning tribulation in the sky to descend.
She was going to help Li Xian survive the tribulation painlessly and also disperse the resentful spirit in Hui Yan's body!
Hui Yan's movements were strange and agile. If it weren't for the change in Shen Qing's pupil color, Shen Qing would surely have been hit within a few moves.
In the distance, Han Ze was being held back by the illusory Dharma forms of several great experts. If they didn't escape now, they wouldn't be able to leave.
Shen Qing calculated the time for the lightning tribulation to descend. Instead of passively dodging the attacks, she gathered powerful spiritual energy in her palm. This spiritual energy was blue - purple, representing the ice power in Shen Qing's body.
When Hui Yan rushed over again, Shen Qing directly slapped him on the chest.
Hui Yan's eyes rolled strangely. The corners of his mouth split into a creepy smile. When he spoke, it was as if there were echoes, and several different voices sounded simultaneously: "Hehe... Do you think I have a heart like a normal person?"
Hui Yan threw his head back and laughed. His neck stretched as he did so, looking extremely out of proportion.
Shen Qing tried to pull her hand back, but the black qi on Hui Yan's body had already climbed up her arm. Her hand was fixed and couldn't be retracted.
Seeing this, Hui Yan's smile grew even wider. The corners of his split mouth almost reached his ears. He said proudly, "You're caught. This fresh Dragon Clan body, you're mine! All mine!!"
Hui Yan widened his eyes. His eyeballs seemed about to fall out of their sockets. His scarlet mouth opened wide, and his tongue was flailing around wildly, making Shen Qing's skin crawl.
"Ew! You look so disgusting!" Shen Qing showed extreme disgust.
Hui Yan was taken aback for a moment, and his face darkened. "You still have the time to despise my appearance? I originally wanted to make your death easier, but now I've changed my mind!"
Shen Qing raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What can you do?"
Hui Yan was irritated by Shen Qing's arrogant expression, and the black qi climbed faster.
"I'll slowly occupy your body and let the resentful qi erode your soul. You'll suffer endless torture in the pain of being burned and the inability to be freed!"
Hui Yan said viciously, trying to scare Shen Qing with his words.
Shen Qing suddenly became a bit curious. "Aren't you afraid that Han Ze will hold a grudge against you for doing this to me? I'm Han Ze's younger sister."
Hearing this, Hui Yan threw his head back and laughed again. His smile was full of mockery. "You? A younger sister?"
"If His Majesty the Dragon King really cared about you as his younger sister, he wouldn't have let you grow up in the mortal world and be bullied in the Qingyun Sword Sect. He's already hated you because of Lady Bai Li's prophecy!"
Bai Li's prophecy?
There was something she didn't know again.
Shen Qing frowned and asked, "What prophecy of Bai Li?"
A glint of pity and pride flashed in Hui Yan's eyes. "Since you're about to die, I'll be kind enough to let you die knowing the truth."
"When you were born, auspicious omens appeared in the Dragon Abyss. Colorful auspicious clouds filled the sky, and hundreds of birds sang in unison. Even the stone statues enshrined in the temple shone brightly. Lady Bai Li, holding you as a dragon egg, saw a prophecy for the first time in a long while. It said that you would become the leader of the Dragon Clan and lead the Dragon Clan to unprecedented heights."
"The clan regarded you as the future successor of the clan leader, but how could His Majesty the Dragon King be willing to have his things taken away by a baby?"
"Before you were born, His Majesty the Dragon King was the most talented person in the Dragon Clan. Many people assumed that he would be the future clan leader, but everything changed after you were born."
"Do you think His Majesty the Dragon King would really love you as a younger sister? All he said was just to get the dragon bones in your body. After all, His Majesty the Dragon King only received half of the inheritance, and his dragon bones are incomplete!"
Shen Qing let out a self - mocking laugh and understood a lot of things at the same time.
No wonder in her previous life, Han Ze had never appeared. It turned out that because of Mother's prophecy, Han Ze, this older brother, only harbored resentment towards her.
I'm afraid the reason she was stolen from the main temple by Elder Heng Ling was that in the temple of the main temple, she was nourished and was about to wake up. That's why Han Ze threw her into the mortal world.
Moreover, Han Ze also made Elder Heng Ling discover her spiritual bones, which led to others coveting them.
This older brother of hers was really "kind"!
One thing led to another. Han Ze never took direct action but indirectly caused her death.
He didn't have to bear any karmic consequences and just reaped the benefits.
Seeing Shen Qing's silence, Hui Yan thought his words had broken her heart, and he felt even more proud.
After all, a soul in despair and sorrow tasted even more delicious.
"Shen Qing, you have a shallow relationship with your relatives. I've watched you grow up little by little. Originally, according to our speculation, you would be tortured to death in the Qingyun Sword Sect, and your spiritual bones would be taken away by that Lin Yibai. Then we could just take over Lin Yibai's body."
"It's a pity that you're smarter and stronger than we thought, and you've forced us into this situation step by step."
"You've contributed to the chaos in the Nine Desolate Continent. If you had just obediently died, none of this would have happened!!"
As soon as Hui Yan finished speaking, the black qi quickly expanded and tried to drill into Shen Qing's body through her facial features.
Shen Qing reacted. Her hand fixed by the black qi tightly grabbed Hui Yan's chest, and the ice spread on Hui Yan's chest faster than the black qi.
"Do you mean like this?"
Shen Qing raised her chin, smiling recklessly, with madness shining in her eyes.
The clouds rumbled, and the first Heavenly Lightning that had been brewing for a long time fell.
Shen Qing tightly grabbed Hui Yan, leaped into the air, and faced the approaching lightning head - on.
A multitude of expressions flashed across Hui Yan's face in an instant: confusion, bewilderment, panic, fear...
"Shen Qing, are you crazy?! Let go of me!!"
Shen Qing laughed heartily. Her chest ached from the laughter. "Hahaha! What are you afraid of? We'll be struck by lightning together. I think this is the most exhilarating moment in the storybooks!!"
Saying that, Shen Qing raised her hand and, under Hui Yan's fearful and regretful gaze, blocked him in front of herself.
The Heavenly Lightning struck Hui Yan's back with irresistible force.
All of Hui Yan's screams in his throat were suppressed. The electricity tingled all over his body, followed by the pain of his soul being torn. This pain made Hui Yan's expression contort as if it were about to split apart.
After the blinding flash, Shen Qing used Hui Yan to block the first Heavenly Lightning.
Shen Qing held Hui Yan up in front of her. Her whole body also ached because of the lightning tribulation, especially her hands in contact with Hui Yan, which had gone numb.
However, the tempering of the lightning made the dragon bones in her body more stable.
Another earth - shattering thunderclap flashed, and the second lightning began to fall.
Despair welled up in Hui Yan's eyes.
A malicious smile played on Shen Qing's lips. "Are you ready? Here we go again~"
