No one could see the commotion within Qian Duoduo's body.
Everyone only saw him standing rooted to the spot, his body trembling continuously, after being struck by five bolts of lightning.
Zhao Yanran stood up, praying in her heart, "Fall down quickly, be finished quickly, go to hell quickly!"
The lightning bolts unleashed by Gao Yuan were something she dared not face head-on.
Qian Duoduo was merely a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator; the Nascent Soul-level lightning entering his body would surely shatter his entire Spiritual Vein and Lower Spirit Sea.
Zeng Zifang was also frightened by Qian Duoduo's miserable state.
She clearly remembered that during the Feng Fan Battle, Qian Duoduo was struck by the lightning of Elder Xin Changfu of Left Eyebrow Peak, causing him to fall to the ground, roll his eyes, and foam at the mouth; at least there was some movement then, but now he seemed to have been directly stunned.
If not for the fact that Qian Duoduo's Qi was still present, she would have suspected he had been killed.
However, she believed in Qian Duoduo.
How could a person who could control the Four Discrepancies, a person who could emit the aura of Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivation, be eliminated by a mere few lightning bolts?
Long Jinxuan and Hua Biaobang glanced at the Four Discrepancies and the Corpse Puppet Formation in front, and finding them still fiercely battling the Left Eyebrow Peak Giant, they felt a little more at ease.
According to their understanding, if the Four Discrepancies and the Corpse Puppets could still fight, it meant Qian Duoduo could still command them.
If he could command them, it meant Qian Duoduo's body was not seriously harmed.
Although the evidence and the reasoning process were wrong, the conclusion was correct.
As Qian Duoduo's cultivation grew, his Purple Eyes also grew with it.
The Purple Eyes ravenously devoured the Golden Thunder, surprisingly leaving not much for Qian Duoduo.
He felt a bit helpless and said to the Purple Eyes in his mind:
"There'll be more in a bit, leave some for me."
The Purple Eyes seemed to understand his meaning, stopped devouring, walked a circle within his Spiritual Vein, and then strengthened the golden threads throughout his body.
"Pain! Pain! Pain!" As soon as the Purple Eyes returned to the Lower Spirit Sea, Qian Duoduo cried out loudly.
On one hand, he was indeed in pain; although the lightning was either swallowed or refined, the bones and tendons in his body still transmitted waves of scorching heat; on the other hand, he wanted to attract more lightning to trick more substantial food for the Purple Eyes.
His three cries of pain greatly disappointed Zhao Yanran and the three individuals including Gao Yuan.
"This hateful Little Peddler isn't dead! He can even still speak!"
Zhao Yanran stomped her foot, turned around, and let out a long sigh of anger, unwilling to look at Qian Duoduo's unkillable, tenacious, ugly face anymore.
Gao Yuan and the other two knew they had made the mistake of underestimating their opponent.
The attacks from the Four Discrepancies had already left the three of them struggling, and the Corpse Puppet Formation formed by twenty-four Corpse Puppets had surrounded them.
Their full-strength sneak attack seemed to have only hurt Qian Duoduo, not even drawing a single drop of blood.
Gao Yuan and the others speculated that Qian Duoduo must have another Magic Treasure on him that could reduce lightning damage.
The dilemma before them was that if they didn't take down Qian Duoduo soon, they would be in danger later.
"Charge through!" Gao Yuan said to Shan Yu and Yun Shao with his Spiritual Awareness.
Shan Yu's golden hammer and golden chisel attacked the Four Discrepancies, while Yun Shao unleashed lightning to strike the Corpse Puppets.
Both exerted their full strength, attempting to carve out a path that would allow them to reach Qian Duoduo.
They did not believe that Qian Duoduo, possessing a lightning-avoiding Magic Treasure, could survive in close combat.
However, wanting close combat was not that easy.
Around them, the Martial Arts Stage was already covered with ice water spat out by the Four Discrepancies, scattered in piles and chunks, like massive, stumbling boulders.
And the water whips thrown by Long Jinxuan continuously made these water-stones taller and larger.
It was at this moment that the Left Eyebrow Peak Giant realized Qian Duoduo's intention to trap them.
