Chapter 219: Chapter 218: The Live Stream in the Celestial Tribulation that Shocks Everyone
Su Qi stared at the content on her phone, at a loss for words. They really were streaming with their lives on the line, trapped in this place.
It wasn’t nearly as easy as her senior sister made it sound, nor as casual as she was acting.
Just then, Jingyue pointed at a nearby bolt of lightning. "See that bolt up ahead? That’s where we’re heading. And from the looks of it, it’s about to strike."
"Do you think we’ll be hit?"
Su Qi looked at the bolt and jumped in fright. She was terrified, but after a glance at Jiang Zuo, she said nothing.
She just quietly sidled closer to Jiang Zuo. ’Just a touch. If I can just touch him a little, that’ll be enough.’
’That way, even if we die, we can die together.’
The live stream chat instantly exploded.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, is this for real? They’re going to die, aren’t they?"
"Saintess, don’t be reckless! You can’t mess around like this, not even for a stream."
At that moment, Witch Dan Xue was also watching the stream. She had to admire Jingyue; she, at least, would never dare to do such a thing.
One misstep, and you would really die. She had no reason to take such a risk.
Chi Xue Child and the others were also watching in horror. "Is the Saintess really not afraid of death?"
Liu Yiyi said, "This is definitely crazy. How is she going to dodge the lightning here? It’s only going to get crazier from here on out, right?"
Blade Master Hai Bian commented, "Could it be that they’re trapped? Just trying to make the best of a bad situation?"
The possibility was high, but no one dared to say for sure.
And just then, the lightning bolt struck. It seemed to carry an aura of destruction as it smashed straight down.
It was the kind of strike that was impossible to dodge.
If this kept up, the Saintess was sure to die.
Moreover, countless other bolts of lightning watched like predators. Dodging this one would just mean falling into the path of another.
Anyone with insufficient Cultivation would surely die here.
Jingyue smiled as she watched the lightning descend. ’To die like this... How frustrating. I’m so not ready to go.’
Everyone watching the live stream held their breath. They were very likely about to witness the death of the Yue Lian Holy Land’s Saintess.
The hearts of the people from the Holy Land were about to leap out of their chests.
In the next instant, a light flashed.
BOOM!
The lightning descended, but at the last second, the Mianhua’s trajectory shifted. The bolt streaked past Jingyue, not harming her in the slightest.
Jingyue was stunned. Su Qi was stunned. The entire live stream erupted in an uproar.
To have a close brush with the lightning of a Celestial Tribulation and still be live-streaming—Jingyue was the only one.
The next moment, the chat was flooded with comments, and countless donations shattered all previous records.
However, before anyone could even feel relieved, two more bolts of lightning descended, this time catching Jingyue in a pincer attack.
The lightning was so fast it seemed to have been there all along.
It descended in the blink of an eye.
However, before Jingyue could even brace herself, the Mianhua once again happened to swerve, and both bolts of lightning streaked past her.
She remained completely unscathed.
Yet this was only the beginning. An endless barrage of lightning descended madly, giving no one time to react, no one time to even be shocked.
Under the countless bolts of lightning, the live-streaming Jingyue seemed to effortlessly evade every single strike, each one just grazing past her.
Lightning flashed, and the frenzied storm stunned everyone.
Jingyue adjusted the camera angle, and Su Qi also changed the direction she was filming.
Jingyue stood there, facing an endless sea of lightning. The bolts exploded continuously, creating a scene like the end of the world.
And yet, not a single bolt of lightning struck Jingyue. It was as if all the bolts had made a pact, respectfully parting and giving way wherever Jiang Zuo intended to pass.
The entire live stream chat fell silent. They found the scene utterly unbelievable.
It wasn’t just them; even Jingyue herself was dumbfounded.
She subconsciously glanced at Jiang Zuo. ’How is he doing this?’
’He’s obviously an ordinary person. Does he really possess such an exceptional Talent?’
Then, Jingyue looked at Sweet Potato and Duan Qiao on Jiang Zuo’s shoulder. ’Could they be responsible?’
Jingyue didn’t know, but she was certain of one thing.
Today, she was going to be a star.
That’s right, Jingyue had gone viral—completely viral. Her live stream video would stun countless people. She was the first and only person they had ever seen who could make the lightning of a Celestial Tribulation respectfully give way.
At this, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan was floored. "I admit it. Our Saintess isn’t even one ten-thousandth as good as the Holy Land Saintess."
She was truly convinced. She wouldn’t even dare to dream of doing something like this, yet here was the Saintess, broadcasting it live.
Chi Xue Child was also visibly shaken. "How did she do that? In this world, I’ve only ever seen one person who could pull off such a bizarre spectacle."
A single name popped into everyone’s mind: "Po Xiao?"
Blade Master Hai Bian said, "That seems unlikely, doesn’t it?"
Liuyue Xue typed: Have you all forgotten? Fellow Daoist Po Xiao’s wife is a core-level Holy Land Disciple, so it’s highly likely she knows the Saintess. It’s not impossible that they’re out together.
Mo Yan was indignant. "Doesn’t that mean the Saintess is using a cheat? How could she do that?"
Chi Xue Child: "..."
’How does she have the gall to say something like that?’
’They’ve been using cheats themselves this whole time. How else would they have caught so many fish?’
At this, Xiao Xiaomo and the others asked curiously, "Boss Po Xiao’s wife is a Holy Land Disciple? But didn’t you guys say he was pursuing the Saintess?"
Uh... things had suddenly gotten complicated.
******
Meanwhile, Jiang Zuo could already see the exit. They would soon be out of the Celestial Tribulation’s range. Fortunately, he hadn’t attracted its attention.
Otherwise, things would have gotten very unpleasant.
Speaking of which, it wouldn’t be long before he had to face his own Celestial Tribulation.
’Then I’ll find out if the Celestial Tribulation still remembers me.’
’If it does, this might be a lot of fun.’
’I’m suddenly looking forward to it.’
After they emerged, Jingyue ended the live stream.
Su Qi crouched down beside Jiang Zuo and said with a smile, "Let me give you a hug."
"..." Jiang Zuo said helplessly, "Your sister is still here."
Su Qi didn’t care and threw her arms around Jiang Zuo.
She had truly thought they were going to die. It felt so good to be alive.
And the one who had led them out alive was her husband. She was overjoyed.
Just then, Jingyue also spoke up. "You’re a real pro. I was completely stunned back there. How did you do it?"
Jiang Zuo said nonchalantly, "It was just like playing a video game."
Jingyue: "..."
’This conversation is impossible,’ Jingyue thought. ’But I need to keep an eye on him.’
At that moment, Su Qi finally let go of Jiang Zuo and asked, "Who was Crossing the Tribulation here? What level of Celestial Tribulation was that?"
Duan Qiao answered, "Just someone advancing from Tier Four to Tier Five. It’s a minor Celestial Tribulation, nothing worth mentioning. Besides, it was already reaching its end. Otherwise, we would have been dragged into it long ago."
Su Qi and Jingyue looked at Duan Qiao in surprise. ’This little thing knows so much?’
’It really is a treasure.’
Su Qi asked, "So, did the person Crossing the Tribulation succeed?"
Duan Qiao nodded. "They’ve already succeeded. See for yourselves, the Celestial Tribulation is starting to dissipate."
Sure enough, the Celestial Tribulation was beginning to fade, and a figure at its center slowly became visible.
"Hahaha, this Fairy has finally reached Tier Five! Who dares to fight me? Who can possibly stand against me? Who else?!"
Jingyue: "..."
Su Qi: "..."
Jiang Zuo: "..."
It was the first time any of them had seen someone who just passed their tribulation to Tier Five act so arrogantly.
Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought she was about to become invincible.
