88: Chapter 88 Xiao Tian Courts Death

Wind Valley was vast.

This canyon, enclosed by four mountain peaks, covered an area of ten thousand mu.

Moreover, the valley floor was not an endless flat expanse; the ceaseless hurricanes had sculpted the terrain of Wind Valley into jagged, uneven shapes.

Under such conditions, bearing the Heavenly Thunder and enduring the fire's burn, Xiao Tian struggled to trek onward, searching for the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had entered Wind Valley ahead of him.

It was truly an arduous journey.

Xiao Tian spent half a day and had only managed to cross half of Wind Valley.

Too much time wasted!

Now, the Heavenly Thunder was concentrated on him, meaning the obstacle faced by that Foundation Establishment Cultivator was minimal, and he might already be close to seizing the wood life flame.

Within Xiao Tian's dark eyes flashed purplish-black, flickering thunder patterns.

He closed his eyes, abandoning all resistance.

He merged himself into this thunderous domain of Wind Valley!

Xiao Tian's body was enveloped by countless streaks of lightning, and without any warning, he began to float upward.

His hair ornament clattered to the ground, and his black hair scattered in the lightning, flying wildly.

The Heavenly Thunder accumulated more and more, and the lightning enveloping Xiao Tian's body grew thicker.

His flesh, which had been charred black and then recovered, had reached a point where it was unsustainable.

The charred flesh receded bit by bit, moving deeper, and the Heavenly Thunder had already scorched his arm down to the bone.

Xiao Tian's face was filled with agony, yet he never uttered a sound.

His consciousness continuously approached the source of the thunder domain.

His body was already on the verge of collapse!

"Brother Tian!"

A roar was not very distinct amidst the flashing lightning.

But Xiao Tian suddenly snapped his eyes open.

Through the heavy lightning surrounding him, he saw countless spirit devouring vines erupting from the ground, coiling towards him.

Almost instinctively, Xiao Tian roared, and the sphere of lightning enveloping his body cracked open.

The spirit devouring vine inherently knew how to seek out weaknesses. The moment the thunder sphere showed a crack, the vines swarmed in ferociously, like a natural disaster!

Xiao Tian's field of vision was quickly taken over by the pitch-black spirit devouring vines. Streaks of spirit devouring vine coiled around every part of him like flexible snakes, forging a sturdy armor of wood around him.

Furthermore, the tip of a spirit devouring vine, gripping a Medicinal Pill covered in defensive talismans, shoved the pill, talismans and all, directly into Xiao Tian's mouth.

The slowing recovery speed stabilized again, bolstered by the Medicinal Pill.

Xiao Tian recovered from the pain and noticed the pulling force exerted by the spirit devouring vines on his body.

He slammed a hand onto the spirit devouring vine, and with a forceful tug, the spirit devouring vine armor snapped, peeling away from him.

Su Xin frowned, his tone heavy, "Brother Tian, Father sent a message, telling us to prioritize safety!"

Xiao Tian felt a slight pang of guilt.

He had almost gone too far.

Father could indeed sense when they were in danger.

"I know, I won't be reckless again. I have already found the Cultivator who snuck in. You two leave Wind Valley first; I will resolve him shortly!"

As he spoke, Xiao Tian raised his hand, and the lightning around his body shot out, transforming into two thunder snakes that encircled Su Xin and Ye Fan's waists, using the Heavenly Thunder around their bodies to forcibly send them away.

"Heavenly Thunder Movement!"

Xiao Tian let out a low cry. Su Xin and Ye Fan were instantly submerged in lightning and vanished from the spot the next instant, reappearing on a protruding platform on the cliff face outside Wind Valley.

The Spirit of the Wood Spirit was about to cry!

Who forces their movement technique onto others like that?

And it was used on its master, who had a wood-element Spiritual Root!

The Spirit of the Wood Spirit, already nearly drained by Chen Shuangfei, forcibly squeezed out a tiny bit of life-giving wood Qi and flooded it into Ye Fan's body.

Ye Fan felt the tug-of-war of life.

In the space ring, the communication talisman was about to glow like a lightbulb.

Luo Yunkai, who was on the flying boat heading to Duobao City, was extremely anxious.

Several times he wanted to jump off the flying boat and rush back.

First, the System alerted him that Xiao Tian was in mortal danger, so he quickly sent a message to Su Xin, only to learn that the reckless boy had charged into Wind Valley alone to find the Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He hadn't taught him a lesson hard enough!

But in the short time since, although the System no longer alerted him about Xiao Tian, Su Xin and Ye Fan were now in mortal danger!

Is this like the Calabash Brothers saving grandpa, where they all fall into traps one after another!

Fortunately, the System alerts for Ye Fan were intermittent, allowing Luo Yunkai to confirm that Ye Fan had temporarily stabilized the situation.

Although he sent several messages to Ye Fan, he received no replies, and Luo Yunkai could not calm down.

Should he contact the City Lord of Dan City?

That would only make things worse!

Wind Valley was a place where higher cultivation wasn't necessarily better.

"Father, we are all fine."

Ye Fan gave Su Xin a Medicinal Pill to heal his injuries, then took out Spirit Stones for the Spirit of the Wood Spirit to absorb and replenish its life-giving wood Qi to pass to Su Xin. Only after Su Xin was out of mortal danger did he take out a communication talisman to report that they were safe.

In reality, Luo Yunkai had already known they were safe from the System's cessation of the red warning.

Luo Yunkai was very curious about what danger the three of them had encountered in such a short time. Could it be that there were many Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the other side, and all of them were exceptionally powerful?

Ye Fan reluctantly explained the situation to Luo Yunkai.

Luo Yunkai fell silent.

The veins on his forehead throbbed.

He let out a heavy sigh and said into the communication talisman: "After obtaining the wood life flame and returning to Dan City, find Tian'er a teacher, and have him thoroughly cram cultivation common sense!"

Ye Fan could hear the gritted teeth in his father's tone and silently agreed.

He also felt that Brother Tian needed to brush up on cultivation common sense.

Otherwise, people would genuinely die!

Xiao Tian, who was traveling like a bolt of lightning, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He abruptly turned his head. The rapidly flashing scenery was the most common environment in Wind Valley.

So where did this inexplicable sense of unease come from?

Xiao Tian smashed down with a "boom" in front of a giant pit. The Heavenly Thunder on his body extinguished everything beneath his feet, kicking up dust everywhere.

The Cultivator standing in the pit beside the corpse of a massive Wind Beast suddenly looked over.

The dust settled. Xiao Tian, clad in a dark purple robe, had his hair flying wildly. His aura was domineering and valiant, appearing like the descent of a Thunder Emperor against the backdrop of the sky-filling lightning.

In the pit, the Cultivator in a red robe was also amidst the Heavenly Thunder, his hair flying.

The only difference was that his flying hair did not appear chaotic; it seemed to be dancing gracefully.

The soft, feminine aura formed the strongest contrast with Xiao Tian's domineering and fierce aura as they clashed.

"Oh? Qi Refining Ninth Layer? You can actually withstand a Golden Core Lightning Tribulation? Are you perhaps a Body Cultivator?"

The red-robed Cultivator's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly. He refuted himself, "No, the Thunder Spiritual Power on your body is too obvious; you should be a Lightning Cultivator."

A mischievous look flashed in those narrow eyes, "A Lightning Cultivator? Perfect timing!"

The red-robed Cultivator twisted his waist and took a step forward. A blood-colored red lotus bloomed beneath his feet.

The red lotuses spread until they were five steps away from Xiao Tian. One more step forward, and he would touch the thunder sphere surrounding Xiao Tian.

Stepping out of the pit and leaving the Wind Beast corpse, the red-robed Cultivator suddenly discovered something strange.

The Heavenly Thunder had stopped striking!

No, it hadn't stopped, it was just...

His gaze fell upon Xiao Tian, whose brows were tightly knitted and whose expression seemed deeply conflicted.

The Heavenly Thunder was all striking that Lightning Cultivator!

"To think there's someone with a Physique that attracts Heavenly Thunder! Good! Very good!"

"Little brother, if you help me, I'll spare your life. How about it?" The red-robed Cultivator's red lips parted slightly, like a wolf in grandmother's clothing luring a child.

Xiao Tian truly couldn't stand it anymore.

"I can help, but first, tell me, are you male or female?"
