Chapter 544: Chapter 42: Acting Inhuman
Above the sky, dark clouds gathered densely, thunder roamed through the layers, issuing thunderous roars.
Just a moment ago, the sky was clear and cloudless.
The next second.
Over everyone’s heads, a thick, oppressive lead-gray cloud formed, while the airflow seemed to climb upwards, as if gathering into the lead-gray clouds.
A sudden unrest filled the air.
The lead-gray clouds gathered more and more, thicker and thicker.
Finally, it seemed as if one could reach out and touch them.
The oppressive darkness overhead brought about a suffocating sense of oppression.
All of this happened in a mere moment.
Clearly abnormal.
"..."
Chen Lusi looked at the lead-gray, thick cloud layer seemingly pressing down on his head, lowered his head again, and looked at Tang Language, who was raising her head, and directly said: "...Leave my side first."
Then.
He also looked at Wu You, who was also raising his head with a look of shock, and the local empowered in Lu City: "You as well."
"No!"
Tang Language snapped back to reality, looking at Chen Lusi incredulously, and asked, "What the hell is happening? Why are you suddenly facing a thunder tribulation? What kind of cultivation unfolding is this? Is it just because you used a technique!? You didn’t even fully release the Authority Ability just now, right?"
"..."
Chen Lusi looked at Tang Language, momentarily choked by her words ’what kind of cultivation unfolding’."
She said it as if he knew what was going on...
He sorted out his emotions a bit.
Chen Lusi gently shook his head: "I don’t know either, probably as Ji Xin said... something has reached the breaking point."
"What do you plan to do now?" Tang Language widened her eyes, looking at Chen Lusi.
Chen Lusi shook his head again: "Not sure... still thinking, but I think you’d better not stay by my side."
On the other side.
Hank Machado’s tragic shout received no response.
Yet the life force of an advanced empowerer still kept him conscious.
He saw Chen Lusi raise his head, stunned for a moment, then looked up at the sky with difficulty, and saw the oppressive lead-gray clouds seemingly pressing down... his pupils suddenly contracted.
Damn it... what happened again? What did he do?
But soon.
He saw the expressions on the faces of the local empowerers in Lu City, heard the dialogue between Chen Lusi and Tang Language.
They also seemed unaware of what was happening... equally shocked.
And seemingly, it was directed at Chen Lusi... because he used some technique?
The price?
"Ha..."
Hank Machado could clearly feel his life force slipping away, his consciousness becoming blurry, and the Lord’s call seemed close at hand.
And for a dying man.
All fears became unimportant.
He couldn’t help but tug at the corners of his mouth, then sneer softly: "Turns out, it’s a technique that requires a price, ha..."
"..."
Chen Lusi heard his words, looked at him, still ignoring him.
And Tang Language also heard.
She thoughtfully looked at Hank Machado, then as if suddenly thinking of something, said in surprise: "Chen Lusi! Oh, right! I thought of something! I can now put his heart back in, prolong his living time... then you could lift him up! Throw him over your head, let him take the brunt of the thunder for you! He, as an advanced empowerer, won’t die so quickly unless his Stone is destroyed!
Moreover, even if he dies completely, and his body breaks down, because the Stone still holds his soul, when facing a strong threat, they instinctively protect themselves from harm, it’s a common trait of advanced empowerers, you can use him! He can definitely block quite a bit of the thunder for you!!!"
"..."
Hearing Tang Language’s cheerfully cruel suggestion...
Noticing that she seemed genuinely planning to stuff his heart back in.
Hank Machado’s eyes widened in bewilderment.
...For the first time, a desire to die quickly arose.
At the same time, he wanted to shout angrily at Tang Language, questioning if she’s even human?
But since his heart was dug out, he was indeed at the end of his life, just now that mocking remark... seemed to have exhausted all his remaining energy.
He couldn’t say a word, just watched helplessly as Tang Language, this... idiot, put the heart she dug out back in.
And as flesh and blood recombined, the survival instinct of an advanced empowerer, the instinctive will to survive from body and soul, started to circulate his spirit automatically, attempting to mend and repair his heart that had been exposed to the air for several minutes after being dug out.
This certainly couldn’t be repaired. ƒrēewebnovel.com
After all, Tang Language’s attack already destroyed most of the tissue connecting the heart and Stone.
But the powerful potential of an advanced empowerer indeed kept him hanging on to the last breath, forcibly extending the time until death.
"..."
When confirming he was forcibly pulled back, his life extended.
Hank Machado trembled, opened his mouth, then vomited a large mouthful of thick blood-saliva mix.
For the first time, regret came to his mind for coming here.
"Although I don’t know what’s going to happen next, you’d better not choke him to death... if the thunder does fall, he can definitely block most of it."
On the other side.
The instigator Tang Language paid no mind to Hank Machado at all, but focused on Chen Lusi, pursed her red lips: "You’d better not die."
Chen Lusi just wanted to speak.
Rumble——
A sudden clap of thunder burst forth.
In the sky, as if nature’s fury erupted at that moment, lightning flashed wildly, casting astonishing light, dark and mighty.
