At that moment, looking at Robin’s state, Zhong Shenxiu felt a sudden coldness deep in his heart. This condition was already at his limit!
If things continued this way, Robin would inevitably be struck by the Heavenly Thunder before him, and in the instant it struck, her soul would be scattered forever! This was the absolute last thing Zhong Shenxiu could accept; he absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen!
Even if it were the will of Heaven, he would defy it! In a flash, a bolt of light shot out from Zhong Shenxiu's hand, aiming directly for that bolt of Heavenly Thunder!
He had actually unleashed the "Heavenly Thunder Art"! At this critical juncture, Zhong Shenxiu’s bolt of light struck the Heavenly Thunder just before it could hit Robin.
Zhong Shenxiu’s light was not intended to shatter the Heavenly Thunder, but rather to act as a conductor, instantly redirecting the descending thunderbolt toward Zhong Shenxiu! The current Zhong Shenxiu was vastly different from before.
This kind of tribulation for the "Golden Core Stage" could not harm him in the slightest. Moreover, it was only the third thunderbolt; with merely a wave of his hand, he refined it away!
In the next instant, Zhong Shenxiu smoothly caught Robin as she fell downward! Bella Dandy on the ground had no idea what had happened in the sky.
The moment the dazzling electric light appeared, she had already collapsed onto the ground in despair, her face ashen! In her mind, she had already concluded that Robin was dead.
That sorrow was like the last straw, instantly crushing her will! But just then, Zhong Shenxiu, holding the battered Robin, landed close to her!
Zhong Shenxiu currently had no time to concern himself with Bella Dandy and Diya. Robin’s condition was extremely perilous; demonic energy had invaded her heart meridians, and her soul had suffered a grievous blow from the Heavenly Thunder!
The immediate priority was to clear the demonic energy swirling around Robin! Zhong Shenxiu pulled open Robin’s clothes, placed his hand over her bruised abdomen, focused his mind, and began using his demonic cultivation methods!
"Brother Xiu!" Diya finally spotted Zhong Shenxiu. She, who had been reduced to tears, seemed to see a glimmer of hope and choked up again.
Affected by her cry, the nearby Bella Dandy finally reacted. When she saw Zhong Shenxiu, she froze!
Any perceptive person could see that Zhong Shenxiu was treating Robin, so even if Bella Dandy had a thousand things to say, she had to hold them back, and she even silenced Diya’s shouts beside her! Bella Dandy knew that if there was anyone in this world who could save Robin, that person had to be Zhong Shenxiu!
The atmosphere instantly became heavy, yet the thunder in the sky continued to brew, completely unaware that Zhong Shenxiu was currently boiling with rage! Robin’s status in Zhong Shenxiu’s heart was irreplaceable.
Although Robin was not verbose, she had warmed Zhong Shenxiu’s solitary heart! Seeing Robin so severely injured, nearly having her soul scattered, the fury in Zhong Shenxiu’s heart reached an unbearable peak!
Although he didn't know the exact sequence of events, a glance at Bella Dandy and Diya’s condition, along with Paghi’s corpse on the ground, allowed him to guess the general situation! Zhong Shenxiu understood Robin; she would never act rashly without extraordinary reason!
Furthermore, he knew that if Robin’s state of mind hadn't collapsed, she wouldn't have met such a tragic end. As for who caused all this, Zhong Shenxiu wouldn't investigate for the moment.
However, given his temperament, he would never spare whoever was responsible! Those who angered Zhong Shenxiu faced only two outcomes: either a fate worse than death, or a death so complete they could never be reborn!
As time ticked by, the dark energies around Robin could be seen constantly retracting, the blood flowing outward stopped, and its color slowly began to turn red! Bella Dandy and Diya watched Zhong Shenxiu tensely, daring not to make a sound, not even daring to breathe deeply.
The surviving soldiers nearby stood like statues, still not understanding what had happened! In that profound silence, a sudden clap of thunder rang out; the fourth Heavenly Thunderbolt had finally finished brewing!
Zhong Shenxiu looked up sharply, his eyes glittering with cold light. He had nowhere to vent the fury in his heart, and this Heavenly Tribulation had undoubtedly become the perfect target.
Watching the thunderbolt, carrying the power of destruction, descend, Zhong Shenxiu suddenly uttered a single word: "Begone." As his voice sounded, the sword named "Moyú" seemed to receive a command, transforming into a streak of cold light and meeting the Heavenly Thunderbolt! Without any ear-splitting sound, the "Moyú" sword passed through the Heavenly Thunderbolt as if entering an empty realm, shattering it completely.
The momentum of the "Moyú" sword did not diminish; it shot directly into the dense mass of dark clouds! Subsequently, seven-colored light suddenly flashed within the cloud layer, not dazzling, but filling the entire sky.
Then came a strange, dull thud, and the dark clouds instantly vanished into nothingness! No one expected such an immensely powerful Heavenly Thunderbolt to be dispersed so easily by Zhong Shenxiu; this showed how terrifying his strength was!
He now possessed the power to influence nature, and with the future worries lifted, the demonic energy inside Robin had been compressed by Zhong Shenxiu into a small black sphere held in his hand. Summoning the "Longevity Tablet," Zhong Shenxiu sealed this small black sphere within it.
He didn't destroy it because it would still be useful for Robin! Seeing Robin regain some color in her face, Bella Dandy grew more agitated.
Holding Diya, who looked on with hopeful eyes, she tentatively approached. Zhong Shenxiu did not stop them, allowing them to approach his side.
"Ro-Robin, how is she?" Bella Dandy finally managed to ask the most pressing question. "Rest assured!" Zhong Shenxiu only spoke two words.
Although Robin's current condition was not optimistic, as long as her soul hadn't scattered, he could heal her. Hearing Zhong Shenxiu’s words, the heavy weight in Bella Dandy's heart finally lifted.
She opened her mouth as if to ask something more, but stopped herself. "Brother Xiu, you must save my sister!" Diya pleaded with a tearful voice.
Zhong Shenxiu turned to look at Diya. Perhaps because she resembled Robin so much, or perhaps because she truly cared for Robin, he comforted her: "Don't worry, everything will be alright." Diya glanced at Robin, bit her lip tightly, and then suddenly turned toward the surviving soldiers around them, her eyes blazing with hatred!
It was these people who had brought ruin upon her family; it was these people who had caused her to lose the mother who loved her most! "Brother Xiu, they are bad people, they are the ones who killed Mother, please help me kill them!" Diya said, tears falling again.
Zhong Shenxiu did not look at the surrounding soldiers, as in his eyes, they had already been condemned to death. His gaze fell instead upon Paghi’s corpse, specifically on the crystalline jade pendant around Paghi’s neck—the one he had gifted Paghi when leaving the "Dongyue Palace"!
With a reach, the jade pendant flew into his hand. Zhong Shenxiu merely glanced at it roughly, then said softly to Diya: "Don't cry.
Brother Xiu will return a perfectly intact mother to you!" "Really?" Diya looked at Zhong Shenxiu with profound sorrow. For a child just over ten years old, the experiences of the past few days had been too cruel!
If Bella Dandy hadn't been by her side, even if she hadn't been captured by those soldiers, she might have gone mad by now! "Diya, you should sleep now.
Everything will be fine when you wake up." As Zhong Shenxiu pointed lightly with his finger, Diya’s eyes obediently closed, but she did not fall. Instead, she was held up by an invisible force into Bella Dandy's embrace.
Bella Dandy stared at Zhong Shenxiu in a daze. She knew Zhong Shenxiu would not harm Diya, so she wasn't overly worried, but she was very concerned about the sentence Zhong Shenxiu had just uttered.
"Can the Palace Master really heal her?" Even Bella Dandy herself didn't know why she asked such an absurd question. A corpse that had become like this, no matter how skilled the medicine, could not be healed.
Yet, subconsciously, she believed Zhong Shenxiu possessed the ability! To her question, Zhong Shenxiu merely nodded slightly, but for Bella Dandy, this was undoubtedly huge good news.
The normally strong woman shed tears of emotion at this moment! Zhong Shenxiu paid no more attention to Bella Dandy.
During the time he was speaking, he had never stopped treating Robin, continuously channeling spiritual power into her covertly. Lifting his hand again, the small jade bottle Robin had dropped flew into Zhong Shenxiu’s hand.
He pulled out the stopper, poured out an immortal pill, gently parted Robin’s lips, and placed it inside! With this, Robin's condition was temporarily stabilized.
The next step was major healing, which was not suitable to be done here! Only then did Zhong Shenxiu turn back to Bella Dandy and say, "Woman, you rest too!" Bella Dandy was about to say she didn't need to, when a wave of fatigue suddenly surged through her body, her eyelids feeling as heavy as if weighted with iron.
Once her eyes closed, she lost consciousness! Zhong Shenxiu waved his hand and collected Bella Dandy and Diya into the "Medium Bag." As for Robin, he held her close to his chest, as if only then would he feel secure!
His gaze finally settled back on Paghi’s corpse. Zhong Shenxiu seemed to mutter to himself, "I will help you reconstruct your flesh and blood.
Keeping this corpse will only bring more sorrow to your loved ones; it is better to erase it!" As the words left his mouth, Paghi’s corpse suddenly shimmered with light and then gradually dissipated into the air! The Paghi of the past no longer existed.
A brand new Paghi would appear later! After all this was done, Zhong Shenxiu's eyes suddenly burst forth with endless cold light, and the air, affected by his aura, actually began to form frost!
The "Ghost Talent" was finally about to begin its retaliation!
