Yao Mengji’s eyes lit up as his exhausted powers surged again. He was flying toward the kite with all his might.

‘Expert… Here I come!’

The Wild Boar Demon was tied to the kite. It was trembling out of fear. It squinted with despair and helplessness.

It had a mind of its own. It looked back and immediately sighed in relief when it realized that Daji and Blackie were not following it.

“I’m not going to the center of the thunderstorm. I’ll just stay out of it and watch the show. After all, there’s no smoke without fire. Natural tribulation probably won’t fall upon me even though I have a kite,” the Wild Boar Demon comforted itself.

Then, it looked up into the sky again. It squeaked and panicked.

Its black fur almost turned gray from the fear.

The old man from the Cross Tribulation realm rushed toward it like a madman. He brought a swirling storm with him, too—a storm that was thunderous and destructive.

The visual impact was too overwhelming, especially when the cultivator was coming at it like he was risking his life. The Wild Boar Demon felt the deep malice from the world and almost pissed itself.

It turned and ran away without hesitation, taking off into the woods.

Yao Mengji saw that the demon was trying to flee. He hurriedly yelled in panic, “Pal, please, stay! Wait for me!”

“I’ll wait for you when pigs start to fly!”

The Wild Boar Demon ran faster.

“Stop! Stop!” Yao Mengji yelled as he sped up as well.

He gave it his all because he was facing possible death.

He was better than the Wild Boar Demon. His speed was on another level, especially when he was risking his life. Soon, he was close to the kite!

The Wild Boar Demon was horrified and said fearfully, “I’m just a normal, poor, small boar demon. Don’t come near me! We’re not enemies so why are you doing this to me?!”

Li Nianfan stood at the four-part architecture, looking into the distance. He could not help but smile.

“Looks like the lightning rod I made is very effective. The thunderstorm’s being pulled away. The thunder definitely won’t hit me now.”

Flash!

The sky went bright and the rumble of thunder followed soon after. Red lightning flashed across the sky. It went toward Yao Mengji!

Yao Mengji went pale and stiff. He felt cold. “It’s over! It’s over for me!”

However, it was a close call. The lightning suddenly shot downward like it was attracted to something. It struck the kite!

The lightning’s current surged through the silver rod to the kite, causing a loud sizzle!

The Wild Boar Demon jolted then shivered. The tingling electric feeling instantly left it powerless.

Yao Mengji was utterly stunned by that close call. His mouth was wide open. Never in his dreams did he think he would be in such a bizarre situation.

He checked his own pulse. Was he alive?

This…

The natural tribulation missed?

Unbelievable, unimaginable!

He stared at the rod on top of the kite and suddenly felt blessed.

The lightning rod! That must be the lightning rod!

‘The expert created the lightning rod for me!

‘I thought the lightning rod was a casual trinket made by the expert. How foolish
