Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 358: Easily Pinch!

Lei Man stared intently at Chu Lingjun, eagerly hoping she would agree on the spot. This way, Lei Man could save herself a lot of trouble and avoid creating unnecessary enmity with Chu Lingjun. Right now, Lei Man was pinning all her hopes on Chu Lingjun.

After all, she had discovered the unique nature of Chu Lingjun’s constitution. Moreover, Chu Lingjun had now mastered the Holy Thunder Technique. For the Jinglei Sect, this was an extremely significant matter. Therefore, she was determined to use any means necessary to convince Chu Lingjun to stay. She wanted her to devote herself to cultivation, complete the final step of the Holy Thunder Technique, and fully unleash its power.

If Chu Lingjun were willing to remain with the Jinglei Sect and be properly cultivated, she would not only become the sect’s hope for reclaiming its position as the top power in the God-Devil Domain, but she would also become a formidable expert in her own right.

In response to Lei Man’s words, Chu Lingjun let out a scornful laugh. She flatly refused, "Sorry, but I’m not interested in making a name for myself in the God-Devil Domain."

"Furthermore, it’s impossible for me to stay. I have something very important to do!"

Her expression turned serious. "You had better let me leave unharmed right now. Otherwise, you won’t be getting the cultivation technique for the Holy Thunder Technique!"

At this moment, Chu Lingjun desired neither fame nor fortune. All she wanted was to leave this place and find Long Chen as soon as possible. Several days had passed, and she had no idea what state he was in.

"Threatening me?" Lei Man’s brows furrowed when Chu Lingjun refused to comply. She scoffed coldly. "How amusing. I tried persuading you politely. You would be wise not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

"Otherwise, I won’t be so courteous!"

"In that case, there’s nothing left to discuss!" Chu Lingjun snorted and wasted no more words. She thrust out her hand, and the Gold Chant Sword instantly materialized in her grasp. Clenching the hilt tightly, a powerful aura erupted from her.

She took a step forward, her figure flashing into an afterimage as she swung the Gold Chant Sword in a fierce chop toward Lei Man. Instantly, a sharp Sword Qi, crackling with dense lightning, burst forth. The very air seemed to solidify wherever it passed.

Faced with Chu Lingjun’s powerful strike, Lei Man remained motionless.

"You may have learned the Holy Thunder Technique, but at your current realm, you’re still no match for me!"

As her words fell, Lei Man stomped her foot on the ground. The earth instantly shattered, and a dense network of fissures spread out in all directions. An incredibly terrifying pressure, like the weight of Mount Tai, descended upon Chu Lingjun.

Her body felt heavy, and a wave of agony washed over her. The gap in their realms was simply too vast. Relying on her own strength, Chu Lingjun stood no chance against Lei Man.

But so what if the gap was enormous? She gritted her teeth and persevered, showing no intention of giving up. She attacked with all her might.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the surrounding air distorted violently, and the crushing pressure eased slightly. She exhaled a turbid breath. But just as she was about to counterattack, Lei Man gave her no chance. Lei Man thrust out a palm, and a powerful force blasted directly toward Chu Lingjun.

Seeing this, Chu Lingjun hurriedly moved to block.

BANG!

The mighty attack sent Chu Lingjun flying. In a flash, Lei Man vanished from her spot. An instant later, she reappeared beside Chu Lingjun, her hand clamping down on her shoulder, rendering her completely powerless. Just like that, Lei Man had her easily subdued.

Chu Lingjun’s delicate brows knitted together. "If you dare try to force me," she said coldly, "then you can forget about ever getting the Holy Thunder Technique!"

Lei Man was unfazed by the threat in her voice. "It doesn’t matter," she replied coolly. "Now that you’re here, I have all the time in the world to wait you out. But judging by how anxious you are to leave, I doubt you can say the same."

Chu Lingjun was furious. "What exactly do you want?"

"I’ve told you, I mean you no harm," Lei Man said. "On the contrary, I intend to help you. But if you want my help, you have to cooperate with me."

Chu Lingjun didn’t respond, continuing to struggle futilely.

Lei Man took the opportunity to press her. "If you want to leave quickly, I suggest you cooperate obediently and stop this useless struggle."

Seeing that her resistance was having no effect, Chu Lingjun finally gave up. She asked flatly, "Tell me. What do you want me to do?"

A flicker of delight appeared in Lei Man’s eyes now that Chu Lingjun had been forced to agree. She said, "Come back with me to the Jinglei Sect and focus on your cultivation for a while. I will marshal the entire sect’s resources to help you break through this final bottleneck.

"Once you succeed, you only need to hand over the cultivation technique and your insights. After that, whether you stay or leave will be entirely your decision.

"And if you choose to stay with the Jinglei Sect, all of its resources will be at your disposal.

"I might even be able to help you accomplish some of the things you want to do."

Hearing this, Chu Lingjun’s eyes lit up. "Really?"

Her reaction wasn’t because she was enticed by the privileges at the Jinglei Sect. It was because she knew that searching for Long Chen on her own would be incredibly inefficient and time-consuming. If she could use this opportunity to have the Jinglei Sect help find him, it would undoubtedly be much easier.

"My word is as good as gold," Lei Man nodded.

Seeing that Lei Man was sincere, Chu Lingjun hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I can agree to your terms, but you have to help me find someone."

Lei Man’s heart leaped with joy. She had finally gotten Chu Lingjun to agree and breathed a sigh of relief. "No problem."

Chu Lingjun sighed deeply. The only thing she could do now was to focus on her cultivation and break through this bottleneck as quickly as possible. Only by accomplishing this, or by becoming strong enough, could she regain her freedom.

As these thoughts filled her mind, she felt utterly weary. But then, an image of Long Chen appeared in her mind, and the weariness transformed into a surge of motivation.

Long Chen, wait for me!
