Overdraw the future and become a peerless martial god

Chapter 140 Lei Pi
Lightning flashed and crisscrossed in the air.

The first three shadows disturbed the view, the lightning was illusory and floating, like scattered stars falling snow, and when they flashed, they were as dazzling as flames, disturbing the opponent's consciousness, vision and hearing, just like breaking through the illusion array, forcing Li Wujiu to frown and his consciousness to waver.

The three shadows sealed off Li Wujiu's body, and the lightning suddenly solidified, drawing out three intersecting cracks of lightning, like a net falling from the sky, sealing off the area of ​​about ten feet in radius where Li Wujiu was located without leaving a single leak, even compressing the room for maneuver.

The three shadows that followed were actually lightning blades! Each bolt of lightning was as thick as a cold halberd, with intertwined lightning patterns like the patterns of molten metal. They descended from the sky and crashed down on Li Wujiu's chest with overwhelming force.

The three layers of lightning, interlocking step by step, confuse his senses, block his retreat, and sever his vital points.

Lightning tore through the sky, and the wind and snow swirled like a dragon sucking in ocean waves. It was as if only this one raging thunderbolt remained between heaven and earth.

Li Wujiu's pupils shrank drastically, and several lightning cracks appeared on the silver armor behind him. With a furious roar, he forcefully lifted the Soul-Locking Banner and stood in front of him, barely managing to block the advancing lightning.

However, those three solid lightning bolts were still like lightning pillars that cleaved mountains, causing the ice beneath his feet to shatter and forcing him to retreat three steps. His robe on his left arm was torn open, revealing charred lightning marks.

"Thunder Bone Resonance—"

"Thunder Meridian Penetration—"

In his mind's eye, Tun Yuan chuckled softly: "Tsk... finally brought those bones back to life."

"Turns out you're not that stupid after all."

Chu Ning roared:

"You're not the only smart one."

"If you want to kill this man, I'll do it myself!"

Lightning exploded, illuminating the ruins of the Great Wall. Chu Ning moved like a lightning shuttle, unleashing a single slash that shook the surrounding area.

Li Wujiu's expression hardened, and he lifted his sleeve, transforming lightning into a shield with a backhand motion to forcefully counter the attack.

"Hmph, just a petty trick!"

"Boom."

Blood thunder surged, nine bolts of lightning shattered, and Li Wujiu's roar of blood thunder overwhelmed the howling wind and snow.

Chu Ning forced his way through the shield, but was smashed away by Li Wujiu's elbow to the chest.

"Crack!"

The sound of bones cracking was clear and piercing. Chu Ning's sternum collapsed on the spot, and his blood and qi surged out like a raging wave, causing his thunderous breath to become chaotic.

His body, like a tattered wing torn by a gale, crashed violently against the ice wall, shattering snow and rock and sending up a white wave several feet high.

The snow was stained with blood, as if heaven and earth were weeping.

Li Wujiu walked over slowly and sneered coldly, "You're too weak."

With each step he took, blood-red patterns spread across the ground, and the frozen snow instantly turned into black water.

The Soul-Locking Nail in Li Wujiu's hand vibrated again, and a crimson ghost appeared, holding a severed head and roaring incessantly, like an evil soul drawn from hell.

"With your meager strength, you dare to covet the divine seal?"

Chu Ning knelt down and coughed up blood.

The thunderous sound of the bones hummed like the resounding of an ancient bell.

He gritted his teeth and dug his fingers deep into the ice.

"Get up!"

The wind and snow whipped at my face, tearing my skin and flesh, and my ears were ringing. Even the sound of the abyss became indistinct.

But he was still smiling, and he uttered a sentence:
"So what if you're a sixth-rank official? You're not a god... so you have to die."

Li Wujiu stepped forward with a cold laugh, raising the Soul-Locking Banner high:

"Then you shall be the sacrifice for this first divine body."

Chu Ning knelt on the ground, his thunder bones trembling, his thunder tendons cracking, and his entire right arm nearly useless. Yet he gritted his teeth and stubbornly refused to fall.

"I can't die here... I still have unfinished promises."

“Swallowing the Abyss…” he murmured, ripples spreading through his mind.

Tun Yuan's words were laced with sarcasm:

"Finally remembered me?"

"You think you can take on a sixth-rank martial artist with your broken bones and rotten tendons?"

"The way you're struggling reminds me of that 'fool' from a thousand years ago. He also swore to 'never yield,' but after three breaths, he was gone without a trace."

Chu Ning coughed up blood but remained silent, asking in a low, menacing voice:
“Tell me… how does Leipi advance?” “Oh?” Tun Yuan’s voice trailed off, as if toying with its prey. “Are you… begging me?”

He paused, then gave a half-smile: "Alright, I can teach you."

"I will use your bones and your sinews to force out a power that originally did not belong to you."

"I need you to live, I need you to break through that innate constraint for me."

"Cooperation is temporary."

Chu Ning gritted his teeth, blood streaming down his cheeks, yet he still spoke each word clearly:
"You want freedom, I want to live."

"Mutual exploitation is perfectly acceptable."

"If you continue to plot against me, I would rather destroy my own Thunder Bones and perish together with you."

Tun Yuan was silent for a moment, then chuckled: "Destroyed? You think you can destroy it?"

"You need me to even stand up now."

"Don't rush, the threshold for Rape... I can tell you."

The next moment, his voice suddenly became deep and seductive, like a worm burrowing into the ear canal:

"Bone is the foundation, tendons are the continuation, and skin is the protection."

"If the Thunder Bone is the spine of thunder, and the Thunder Tendon is the meridian of thunder breath, then the Thunder Skin is the outer shell that draws in and controls thunder, and it is the first barrier to truly absorb the power of heaven and earth thunder into one's own body."

"True lightning doesn't come from being struck by lightning."

"That's just a mortal's body refinement."

"What you need to do is refine your own skin with your own thunder."

"Press all the residual thunder, old poison, and chaotic electricity back into the membrane, and let yourself bear it and force yourself to take shape."

"Let the thunder burn your skin, but not destroy your body, it will carve your bones."

"The initial formation of the Thunder Skin is the outer shell of patterns, imprints, and destiny."

Chu Ning closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and guided the lightning energy to flow from his bone marrow, drawing out the residual lightning and old poison to flow back into his body, attempting to refine the deadly poison that was destroying him into lightning essence.

"hiss!"

When the thunder poison reverses its flow, it erupts instantly beneath the skin, causing pores to burst, the skin to crumble and then rebuild itself, and silver-blue patterns to move like living things.

Blood and lightning intertwined, creating excruciating pain as if a thousand needles were piercing his bones. His body trembled uncontrollably, and his skin became charred and cracked.

"Playing with fire and getting burned?" Li Wujiu sneered. "You really know how to court death."

But in the next instant, a layer of silver-blue lightning-patterned membrane suddenly appeared all over Chu Ning's body. It was like scales but not armor, yet it moved with his muscles, and lightning crackled around his body.

Tun Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement: "A superior eighth-grade? Heh... You actually managed to produce one."

"This Thunder Skin is not yet fully developed, but it can already withstand the attack of a sixth-grade fifth-grade... You're quite lucky."

Chu Ning slowly rose to his feet, his aura weakened yet his lightning surged like waves.

He looked at his right arm, which was almost shattered, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and smiled lightly at Li Wujiu:
"Thank you for the beating."

"Stubborn to the end." Li Wujiu urged the lightning seal again, and the sea of ​​blood pressed down.

But at this moment, the Thunder Skin took shape, resisting the impact of the Soul Nail; the Thunder Tendons guided the lightning, counteracting its force; the Thunder Bones resounded like a great bell or war drum.

His steps were firm, the blade was raised again, the lightning was restrained yet its power was as vast as the sea.

Tun Yuan chuckled in his sea of ​​consciousness: "You're not far from mastering the Thunder Armor... Once you've mastered that level, you'll be able to truly control the Primordial Chaos with me."

Chu Ning snorted coldly: "I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing it to live."

With a furious roar, he slashed diagonally with his sword.

Lightning converged, the lightning scales swelled, and silver-blue and purple-gold lightning intertwined, transforming into a giant lightning meteor blade that crashed down.

"boom."

The snow on the cliff top of the Great Wall collapsed, and lightning pierced through the icy abyss.

Li Wujiu roared in anger, his blood shield shattered, his shoulder armor exploded, and his body fell to the ground like a meteor, being slashed more than ten feet away, with blood gushing from his chest.

He knelt in the snow, his face filled with horror: "You... you actually forcibly raised your cultivation level..."
