I will become the Demon Immortal known to the whole world-Chapter 61 - Without You I Dont Feel Safe

“Mr. Li, my behavior just now seemed rather foolish!”

The man with an etched face tightly clutched his severed arm.

“It was foolish, lacking knowledge of advance and retreat, unaware of life and death.”

“Is that so?”

Huang Qi nodded.

Yet in his heart he muttered, ‘Has it already become so severe? To consume ninety-nine percent of one’s emotions to feed the remaining one and thus become obsessed with immortality!’

‘This path is indeed perilous; the slightest inattention could lead to one’s downfall.’

‘No wonder in that fragment of a memory, possibly from the future, there is no trace of me. Did I die in some corner?’

Even though Huang Qi had surmised his own failure, there wasn’t the slightest trace of fear or dread in his thoughts.

Coming back to his senses, he saw the middle-aged man with furrowed brows, his eyes reflecting a hint of apology.

“Mr. Li, about your arm, I will have my mother compensate you after we leave.”

“Fine, but are we still heading to Thunder Prison?”

The middle-aged man asked, looking in the direction where Liang Hui and the other had departed.

“It’s no longer necessary. The items my mother requires can be retrieved by Tai Yi and Sister Ying. It’s enough for us to find our own fortune,” Huang Qi replied.

The two who had reached an agreement walked toward the thick woods to the side.

Their figures slowly vanished from sight.

…

“Brother Tai Yi, this is Thunder Prison.”

Huang Ying pointed at the purple forest in front of them.

The ancient and boundless woods stretched tall and straight, piercing the Vault of Heaven.

From time to time, dazzling azure thunders would slash down from the horizon.

Liang Hui walked forward slowly, touching the upright trees, feeling the tingling sensation in his palm.

Pulling off a purple leaf, he sensed the subtle thunderous power within it.

“Beneath such thunder, even I would struggle somewhat, finding it challenging to ensure your safety.”

“Brother Tai Yi, don’t worry about me. Before coming, Mother had prepared protection against the thunder for me,” reassured Huang Ying.

As she spoke, Huang Ying took out a silk handkerchief embroidered with clouds from her bosom.

Inner Strength emerged, and with a light toss,

the handkerchief hovered above her head, casting shimmering white light downwards.

“Brother Tai Yi, this handkerchief can evade the thunder well, but its protective range is only this small,” Huang Ying said, with a touch of apology in her voice.

“It’s alright, as long as you can protect yourself, that’s enough for me,” he replied.

“Let’s set out now.”

Liang Hui withdrew his hand from the tree trunk and strode toward the forest.

Huang Ying followed closely behind him, step by step.

As they fully entered Thunder Prison, their eyes were filled with a purple world.

Liang Hui felt keenly the dense and extreme power of thunder and lightning all around him.

Boom!

A thunderbolt accompanied by a massive roar, like a sword falling from the sky, struck a tree ten meters away from Liang Hui.

In an instant, the entire tree turned to charred black.

Liang Hui watched intensely the tree emitting smoke, turned charcoal by the lightning.

Such a thunder strike would have surely left a normal Bone Refining Martial Artist half-dead.

Seeing this, Huang Ying’s handkerchief atop her head shone even more brightly as the glistening white light enveloping the surroundings also accelerated its flow.

The two moved forward at a slow pace, simultaneously searching around them.

Time trickled by.

Amidst the sounds of thunder, they had ventured over ten li deep into Thunder Prison.

Suddenly, a point of pale blue brilliance caught Liang Hui’s eyes. He slowly stepped forward and arrived under a large tree.

He bent over to move aside the earth covering the roots, revealing a dazzling shade of blue.

Wrapped in greenish inner strength, his palm reached out to the irregularly shaped blue ore.

Grasping the blue ore, Liang Hui had not yet sensed it closely.

“Brother Tai Yi, run!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The piercing light of thunder had already sliced through the sky, hurtling towards Liang Hui at high speed.

His brow slightly furrowed, a surge of greenish inner strength burst out, forming a vibrant green tortoise shell above him.

The tortoise shell was crystal clear with its patterns distinctly visible, resembling a perfectly carved piece of green jade.

This was the only defensive technique that Liang Hui had mastered, “Tortoise Shell Fist”.

Yet to master it to such an extent that even the founder would feel inferior.

The tortoise shell had just formed when the glaring thunder light had already plunged down.

Boom!

The green glow interwove with the pale blue lightning, occupying everyone’s field of vision.

As the two hues of dazzling light faded, the slightly smaller green tortoise shell was revealed.

Liang Hui paid no attention to Huang Ying, who stood beside him with her lips parted in disbelief.

Instead, he concentrated on the tingling sensation within his body, along with the purer inner strength.

Suddenly, a dangerous thought crossed his mind. Had he discovered what the greatest opportunity for him in Thunder Prison was?

Still, preparations were needed first.

He halted his train of thought and turned his gaze back to the blue ore in his hand.

After carefully sensing only the power of thunder and lightning within the ore, he handed it to Huang Ying.

“Is this the Thunder Crystal we’ve been looking for?”

Huang Ying took the blue ore, examined it closely, and then shook her head.

“The power of thunder within is abundant, but there’s still a significant difference compared to a true Thunder Crystal.”

“Nevertheless, this type of ore still possesses enormous value, especially for Daoists who cultivate Thunder Techniques and Martial Artists who practice Thunder Attribute martial arts.”

While speaking, Huang Ying handed the blue ore back to him.

Liang Hui took the ore, storing it in his spatial storage and dissipated the green tortoise shell above his head.

The two continued onward, venturing deeper.

Twenty li!

Fifty li!

One hundred li!

The deeper they ventured, the more frequent and explosive the lightning became.

By now, Huang Ying’s complexion had turned pale.

Her headscarf could avert the thunder, and the inner strength consumed was not excessive.

But a journey of a hundred li, continuously channelling towards the headscarf, had nearly depleted her inner strength.

Liang Hui, walking ahead, had obviously noticed this.

Approaching a tree trunk three meters in diameter, he thrust his silver spear fiercely.

Then, he kept moving it about.

In just a moment, a tree hollow large enough for rest was ready.

“Go inside and catch your breath.”

“It’s my weakness that has delayed our exploration progress.”

Her words contained a tinge of guilt, but Huang Ying still entered the tree hollow.

Before the girl could even sit down.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!…

Deafening roars kept erupting, as thunderbolts incessantly fell from the distant skies.

Illuminating the jungles for miles around.

Liang Hui watched the place where lightning fell miles away, his eyes deep and contemplative.

He faintly heard a sky-piercing roar.

Clenching the long spear tightly, he felt the smooth warmth in his palm.

“I will go take a look. I’ll be back soon.”

“Brother Tai Yi, I’ll go with you.”

Without you by my side, I don’t feel safe at all.”

While responding, she took a pill from her storage space and put it in her mouth.
