He had just been standing here when suddenly the Annihilation Thunder descended from the sky. What was going on?
Could it be that he had done something heinous in the past, and only now was he recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and this punishing lightning bolt was sent down at this very moment?
The moment the thunder appeared, the old man's body trembled violently. He felt death approaching.
Buzz…
Crackling…
He himself had no chance to react.
However, a blood-red light flashed on his body, and a blood-red orchid rose from the top of his head, instantly transforming into a giant lotus platform.
The pitch-black Annihilation Thunder exploded at this moment, and the petals of the blood-red lotus platform slowly closed.
It actually enveloped the Annihilation Thunder within it, and finally, it slowly vanished like a bubble.
Seeing this, the old man's face became extremely grim.
The blood-red lotus that had just appeared was his life-saving treasure, something that would automatically protect its owner. It only appeared at the moment of his death.
In other words, he had already died once, but he was blocked by the blood-red lotus.
Chu Tian raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. This old fellow actually had a protective treasure as well.
Were such things common in the Yin-Yang Realm?
This was a good thing, a divine artifact that could save one's life.
If he had a few of these for the people around him, wouldn't it be like being immune to death in the Heavenly Dao World?
However, he had discovered yesterday that looking at the old man's expression, he was extremely pained.
It must be that this protective treasure was also an extremely rare and precious item.
"Oh dear, Master… why were you struck by lightning?"
Chu Tian's eyes widened in surprise, a look of deep concern on his face.
Rumble…
No need to guess, another Annihilation Thunder descended from the sky.
Crack…
If anyone still didn't understand how this lightning bolt had arrived, they would truly be foolish.
Everyone's hearts were greatly shaken.
How could it be that the moment this young man called someone master, heavenly thunder descended?
How could it be so bizarre?
Wouldn't that make him invincible? If he disliked someone, he could just call them master…
Chu Tian himself knew that for the thunder to descend, the other party had to genuinely intend to take him as a disciple.
It was as if the Heavenly Dao did not allow anyone to willingly take Chu Tian as a disciple.
When the second blood-red lotus above the old man's head vanished like a bubble.
Chu Tian grinned slyly, feeling incredibly pleased.
Wasting the old man's two chances of survival was too worth it.
Just as he was preparing to find an excuse to call him master again.
The old man vanished in a flash.
Then, a voice boomed from across the great hall.
"City Lord Kou, please open the great formation. We shall take our leave!"
Chu Tian's ears twitched. He realized the old man had hidden behind a pillar behind the City Lord.
This guy was completely terrified by Chu Tian.
"Hey Master, don't go!" Chu Tian called out.
The direction he was shouting towards was still the City Lord Kou. This made the City Lord tremble.
"Young friend Chu, I have offended you. As for taking you as a disciple, just consider it a joke! I am Ding Chunzi. Should young friend require anything in the future, feel free to send someone to find me at the Lihua Sect!"
As Chu Tian spoke, Ding Chunzi, the old man, also spoke at the same time.
"Alas, what a pity!"
Chu Tian clicked his tongue, muttering "what a pity." No one would have thought he was lamenting not being accepted as a disciple by Ding Chunzi.
Those present knew what he regretted.
Because after the second thunderbolt descended, Ding Chunzi must have abandoned the idea of taking Chu Tian as a disciple.
Therefore, the third thunderbolt did not appear.
This unscrupulous fellow must be regretting this matter.
If the third thunderbolt had appeared, no one knew if Ding Chunzi would have any way to resist it.
What shocked them even more was that after abandoning the idea of taking him as a disciple, Ding Chunzi wanted to leave immediately.
He asked the City Lord Kou to open the great formation, which meant he was preparing to escape.
If it weren't for the power of the great formation, he would have probably already fled in a flash, instead of hiding behind the pillar and speaking such conciliatory words.
He even made a promise.
Promises in the Yin-Yang Realm were protected by the Heavenly Dao.
In this world, vows and oaths had consequences.
Unlike the Blue Star, where people would casually swear oaths.
Here, if you made a vow and did not fulfill it later.
Heavenly punishment would still descend, although the severity would vary depending on the importance of the matter.
Thunderbolts like the Annihilation Thunder were also uncommon. Annihilation Thunder punishment was fatal. Of course, if you could block it, a second one would naturally not descend.
Therefore, life-saving treasures were extremely precious in this place, because such items were consumables, and each use meant one less.
They were all items left from ten thousand years ago.
It was said that ten thousand years ago, only Emperor Lin Ran could craft them.
Ding Chunzi had produced blood-red lotuses twice in a row. No one knew how many more he could use.
Regardless of whether he had any left, he had suffered a great loss this time.
At this moment, everyone's gaze fell upon City Lord Kou.
However, this fellow's robes were soaked, and he was frozen on the spot.
The reason was none other than that the direction Chu Tian had just bowed towards was precisely him.
Even though the Annihilation Thunder did not appear, City Lord Kou was also terrified.
He hadn't recovered from the shock yet.
"Haha, what kind of damn promise is that? I, Chu San Ye, am here to take your old life right now. Damn it, you want to run after showing off, you dog wanting to eat shit! You look so righteous, you think I'd believe you?"
Chu Tian's body flashed, activating instant movement.
He vanished from everyone's sight and appeared behind the pillar, beside the old man.
A punch carrying the aura of destruction was hurled towards Ding Chunzi's head.
"Kid, you…"
Ding Chunzi never expected that Chu Tian would suddenly attack.
This kid was so unprincipled.
And his movement technique, how could it be so fast? Ding Chunzi had no time to react.
He could only raise his arm to block.
Rumble…
Crack!
After a muffled thud, the crisp sound of bones breaking echoed throughout the great hall.
"Ah…" Ding Chunzi, a peak King level expert, let out a scream of pain.
He flew out diagonally from behind the pillar, reappearing in everyone's sight.
Unfortunately, he no longer possessed the immortal elegance he had when sitting on the high seat.
His entire right arm was bent at a grotesque angle.
At his shoulder, a section of white bone protruded, looking extremely terrifying.
In the brief confrontation behind the pillar, Ding Chunzi, a super expert at the late King level, was actually no match for Chu Tian and was severely injured.
"City Lord Kou, why haven't you closed the great formation? If something happens to us here, the Yunshui Chamber of Commerce will not let this matter go, and your Wu Du will also be in trouble."
Suddenly, the Kidney Deficiency Young Master, who was still in the main seat, shouted in a shrill voice.
