5: Since you can't kill it by chopping, chop it as hard as you can.

"Trying to act tough, let's see if this lightning kills you!"

In Qin Tian's hand, a Golden Lightning Talisman quietly turned to ash.

That was another plaything given to him by his mother.

Supposedly, a single one could strike down over a dozen Grotto-Heaven Realm Cultivators.

Qin Tian had never had the chance to test it.

Now that he was using it, the effect was actually quite good; if nothing else, the Aura alone was impressive!

In the River Boundary, Xiao Chen was charred black all over, emitting a burnt smell.

Su Ningying took two steps back in slight disgust, but a look of joy surfaced in her exquisite eyes.

"Is this Maggot finally going to die?"

"Ah! Young Master Xiao, what happened to you? Why were you struck by lightning in broad daylight?" The Lingxiu Peak female Disciple was extremely anxious.

*Cough, cough, cough!*

"Save... save me...!"

In the river, Xiao Chen suddenly raised his hand, coughing violently. He was on his last breath, but he wasn't dead... "As expected, he has a trump card."

"What a freak!"

Qin Tian couldn't help but complain.

[Congratulations Host, for heavily suppressing the son of destiny, fate reversal points +100.]

!!!

One strike gives 100 points?

There's such a good deal?

Then... the corners of Qin Tian's mouth could no longer be suppressed!

*Snap*, a thick stack of Golden Lightning Talismans was brought out.

At least a hundred of them.

[Host, strike!]

Strike!

If he dies, it's a massive profit!

If he doesn't, keep striking for non-stop profit!!

Boom!

[Congratulations Host, for heavily suppressing the son of destiny, fate reversal points +100.]

Boom! Boom!!

[Congratulations Host, for heavily suppressing the son of destiny, fate reversal points +200.]

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

...A series of notifications rang out; Qin Tian had already lost count.

He only knew that he was making a killing!

This Xiao Chen is simply a walking experience pack!

"Wh... why...!!"

"Why is the heavens striking me?!!"

Inside the River Boundary, Xiao Chen was incredibly weak. He pointed straight at the sky, his face full of resentment and indignation.

"Someone is plotting against you," the remnant soul residing within the heaven swallowing seed spoke up.

"Who is it? Who dares to attack me?"

"Could it be someone sent by the Great Qian Empress?"

"Damn it! How did she know I came to the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect!?"

"Don't worry about who it is for now. My strength hasn't recovered, and I won't be able to hold on much longer. Leave this place immediately."

"Leave? No! I must enter the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect. Only by devouring the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect's number one Spiritual Root can I stomp that woman under my feet!"

[Congratulations Host, for driving the son of destiny into a desperate situation, fate reversal points +500.]

"This is already a desperate situation?"

Qin Tian looked at the more than half-stack of lightning talismans remaining... "Once this chance is gone, it won't come back!"

Blast him!!

The remaining dozens of Golden Lightning Talismans were ignited all at once.

Instantly, dozens of golden lightning bolts fell in unison toward the top of Xiao Chen's head!

*Hiss—!*

Xiao Chen's charred face turned deathly pale with fright!

"No—!"

"I can't die! Someone, save me!"

At this moment, he heard death stepping right beside his ear.

If he were hit, he would definitely breathe his last on the spot!

"Who dares to act wildly in my Dao Seeking Immortal Sect?"

A figure appeared in the sky, her surrounding Spiritual Qi transforming into a verdant palm print that reached out to grab the lightning.

In an instant, the dozens of lightning bolts vanished into thin air.

Qin Tian: "..."

"Fine, fine, fine. A noble person always appears in a desperate situation, right?"

"This Protagonist Halo is truly a freak of nature."

He felt a bit depressed.

[Congratulations Host, the son of destiny felt death approaching and was filled with immense fear, leaving a small psychological shadow regarding lightning, fate reversal points +1000.]

Qin Tian paused.

It seemed he wasn't that depressed anymore... "Elder, please save Young Master Xiao, he's not going to make it!" That Lingxiu Peak Disciple was overjoyed to see the person in the air and cried out repeatedly.

The woman in the air raised her hand and scooped up the dying Xiao Chen.

Su Ningying remained calm and hid the poison needle at her fingertips back away.

"Disciple greets Elder Xu You."

"I remember you are a Disciple of Senior Sister Yun Xi from Divine Firmament Peak. What are you doing here?" Xu You asked calmly.

"Elder Xu, Xiao Zi accidentally fell into the River Boundary. This stranger Fellow Daoist wanted to help, but unfortunately, his skills seemed lacking. He was too overconfident and almost died."

"Who is this person?" Xu You nodded slowly.

The Lingxiu Peak female Disciple stepped forward and knelt directly on both knees:

"Elder, I was attacked while out, and luckily this Young Master Xiao saved me. I beg the Elder to save him."

"As expected of a protagonist, making people kneel and plead for him." Qin Tian sighed, "Silly woman, what 'hero saving the beauty'? That was all set up by Xiao Chen to trick you."

"It's a pity such a naive girl is about to be ruined by Xiao Chen."

Suddenly, Qin Tian felt a sharp gaze.

Xu You was looking squarely at the spot where he was hiding.

Qin Tian was momentarily stunned.

"System, have I been discovered?"

[Yes, Host. Do you want to go out and fight the son of destiny to the death?]

"Fight with what?"

"Is that Destiny Halo something a human can beat?!"

Qin Tian didn't want to leave the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect either, but the disparity in strength was just too great.

"This Elder Xu You is the younger sister of the Lingxiu Peak's Peak Revered Master; her cultivation is unfathomable."

"If I'm dragged out by her, I'll probably have a head-on collision with my rival Xiao Chen!"

"System, will it directly enter Divergence Path Two then?"

[Yes, Host!]

Qin Tian's heart rate continued to accelerate.

However, unexpectedly, Xu You only glanced over and stopped paying attention, turning back to the dying Xiao Chen.

"Take him back to Lingxiu Peak and hand him over to the Medicine Hall Elder."

"Yes, thank you, Elder."

The Lingxiu Peak female Disciple was overjoyed and quickly carried the charred Xiao Chen on her back, heading toward the immortal gate.

Su Ningying sighed softly, seeing that she had missed her chance.

Xu You then flashed up above the clouds, where an incomparably beautiful figure in white was standing.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Yun Xi."

Yun Xi nodded slowly, "Junior Sister Xu You, you go back first. I will teach them myself."

"Farewell, Senior Sister."

After Xu You left, Yun Xi looked toward Qin Tian's hiding place and smiled sweetly:

"Tian'er's sneaky appearance is actually quite cute."

"However, for Tian'er to become a success, I must continue to play the role of a strict teacher..."

At the same time, Qin Tian was anxious, looking at the figure on the River Boundary Bridge. "Junior Sister, leave quickly!"

"Once Xiao Chen enters the immortal gate, it'll be too late!"

But on the bridge, Su Ningying had no intention of leaving.

She stared at the River Boundary, lost in thought. "Why?

"Why would lightning strike down for no reason?"

"Could it be that Xiao Chen is the legendary person cursed by the heavens?"

"Yes, it must be so. How could someone who wants to kill Eldest Senior Brother be a good person!"

"It's just a pity he wasn't struck to death..."

Saying this, Su Ningying prepared to leave with a look of regret.

Just then, another figure appeared on the River Boundary Bridge.

Su Ningying's body suddenly stiffened, and her expression changed instantly.

Her doll-like face looked a bit guilty as she stammered, "Ma... Revered Master... when did you arrive...?"

Yun Xi spoke calmly, her voice not loud, "Come out."

These words were naturally not meant for Su Ningying.

Qin Tian paused and subconsciously swallowed his saliva:

"Revered Master is here, so my stealing of the silk stockings must have been discovered, right?"

Is it finally time to face judgment... Come then!

He took a deep breath and stood up.

Suddenly, a strand of purple hair drifted to his side at some point.

"Eh, Senior Brother, what a coincidence. What are you doing here?"

Qin Tian was surprised.

Beside him, he was more than familiar with this purple-clothed figure... it was precisely his Fourth Junior Sister—

Bai Xiyin.

But, why would she be here...?

...
