"I don't think so."
Old Man Zhou shook his head. "When he said he wanted to attract the lightning from the sky to cultivate, he was calm and composed. Clearly, he has a way to deal with it … Besides, an expert like Mr. Pei has his own sense of propriety. His decision isn't something we can dissuade."
Zhou Wanqiu looked worriedly at Pei Feng outside the window. She seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, the sound of thunder suddenly exploded. It was so deafening that even the deaf could hear it. It was as if it was ringing above their heads, rumbling incessantly!
Old Man Zhou's expression changed slightly. He said in a low voice, "Looks like the lightning is about to arrive … Everyone, stop talking. Let's wait and see."
In the backyard.
Pei Feng, who was soaking wet like an old monk in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
Almost instantly, a dazzling bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and struck the ten-thousand-year-old wood spirit in his arms!
In an instant, the entire backyard was as bright as day. The light was so bright that everyone in Autumn Mountain Villa had to close their eyes.
Amidst the light, Pei Feng's face was ashen. His hair was standing on end, and his clothes were torn to shreds. Lightning flashed all over his body, and it was as if thousands of tiny snakes were wriggling around him.
"Ahhhhhh —!"
A roar that was like the roar of a wild beast suddenly sounded out. Pei Feng stood up and roared angrily towards the sky. The devilish energy in his body poured out and coiled around the lightning that filled the sky!
The greenish-purple lightning and the black demonic energy mixed together and swirled. From afar, Pei Feng looked like a demon god, treacherous and terrifying.
Everyone in the Autumn Mountain Villa who witnessed this scene was completely stunned.
Old Man Zhou was stunned, and his hands trembled slightly.
Beside him, Zhou Guangping was petrified. Zhou Wanqiu looked as if she had seen a ghost, and her face was deathly pale.
Pei Feng unleashed his Myriad Tao Tempering mental cultivation method to the extreme. He was holding on, and at the same time, he was absorbing and devouring the violent and boundless Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi within the lightning with all his might.
Even though he cultivated the extremely powerful Myriad Daos Refinement Technique that allowed all rivers run into the sea, it was still too difficult for him to resist the power of lightning with his late-stage Devil Base cultivation.
But it was undeniable that the extreme cultivation method of using the Ten Thousand Year Wood Essence to absorb the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the thunder and lightning was extremely good! It was more than a hundred times stronger than usual!
However, in the blink of an eye, he had almost reached the limit of resisting the power of thunder and lightning …
In the end, he was still a mortal. If not for his Innate Devil Body, which gave him a far stronger resistance than ordinary bodies, the surging power of thunder and lightning in his body would have scorched his internal organs!
Just as he was doing his best to resist and roaring, another dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and instantly struck the 10,000 year old wood spirit in his hands.
"Boom — —!"
With a thunderous sound, his entire body was sent flying from the ancient well like a cannonball. He directly smashed through a window on the third floor and fell heavily onto the floor of the room.
Holy shit!
Elder Zhou was slightly stunned and involuntarily roared, "Quick, go save him — —!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Guangping was the first to rush out of the room. Zhou Wanqiu also rushed out of the room.
… …
First floor lobby
Pei Feng's eyes were tightly closed as he lay motionlessly on the sofa.
His clothes were already in a terrible state, almost torn to shreds. His hair was standing up, his face was pale, and his exposed skin was a strange greenish-purple color.
All the Zhou family members stared unblinkingly at Pei Feng. Some had serious expressions, some had worried expressions, and some were aghast.
Elder Zhou had already confirmed that Pei Feng's breathing was erratic at first, but now it had calmed down. Pei Feng's life was probably not in danger, but his body temperature was frighteningly high. Just touching his skin made him feel slightly hot!
Pei Feng was not an ordinary person. Elder Zhou did not want to send him to the hospital. The only thing he could do was … move him to a safe place and wait quietly.
The 10,000 year old wood spirit was still tightly grasping Pei Feng's hand. Even when it was struck by the second bolt of lightning, he did not let go.
"Ping 'er, what is that thing in his hand?"
"It's an antique that Mr. Pei fancied at the antique collection exchange. Uncle Xu said it was called the Thunderbolt Wood. I saw that he liked it very much, so I decided to give it to him, "Zhou Guangping said in a low voice.
"Well done. Remember, in the future, as long as he likes something, immediately take it and give it to him, understand? "
Everyone nodded.
Elder Zhou looked at Zhou Guangping with admiration, then his gaze fell on the 10,000 year old wood spirit. "Thunderbolt Wood? Could it be … this black wood can attract lightning from the sky? He fancied it because he wanted to use it to attract lightning from the sky for cultivation? "
"I'm guessing that's the reason, Grandpa." Zhou Wanqiu nodded.
Right when everyone surrounded and watched Pei Feng and spoke one after another, a deafening sound suddenly exploded above them, and then they heard the rustling sound of bits and pieces falling to the ground.
The young Zhou family members looked up at the ceiling in shock, their expressions changing.
This was already the third time Pei Feng had been struck by lightning since he was moved into the living room. All of them had struck the roof of Autumn Mountain Villa …
This Thunderbolt Wood could indeed attract lightning from the sky!
"Grandpa, will the roof of this villa be …"
Before Zhou Wanqiu could finish speaking, a fierce roar suddenly rang out without any warning, and an incomparably fierce gust of wind instantly wreaked havoc!
It was like a gust of wind rising from the flat ground. When it blew on one's face, one would feel a slight prickling pain as if they were being pricked by needles. Caught off guard, a few middle-aged men of the Zhou Family who had never practiced martial arts fell, fell, or held their heads. The surrounding wooden chairs, tea tables, and tablecloths were all blown over. The hall was in chaos.
"Mr Pei, you're awake? Are you alright? "
Pei Feng stood on the sofa, panting softly as he looked around. The sofa cushion under his feet had already been torn to shreds.
"I'm fine."
After panting for a moment, he looked at the concerned Elder Zhou. "Elder Zhou, did I faint from the lightning just now?"
Elder Zhou took a deep breath and slowly nodded his head. "That's right. You were struck by a bolt of lightning and crashed into the villa. Thank God, you're fine … The scene of you drawing lightning from the sky to cultivate was too shocking! Mister, you are really an expert. You were struck by two bolts of lightning and still managed to survive. This is the first time I've seen such a thing in my life.
Pei Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
His cultivation just now had been too risky.
