I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Liu Mengxian's ethereal voice brought her to a slightly more awake state, and she subconsciously replied:

"Nobody ever taught me these things. It's all about fighting mutated species; why would I need to learn such complicated techniques..."

"This is your biggest weakness right now."

Liu Mengxian gently flicked Yan Ziming's forehead and sighed. It was still a long and arduous task for Yan Ziming to take over her position as soon as possible!

Skills are not honed overnight, and it's difficult to make any progress in a short period of time, unless Yan Zimo is a martial arts prodigy.

However, Liu Mengxian was more worried about something else.

"You still don't understand what your second path is?" Liu Mengxian asked rather strangely.

Chapter Four: My Path, Divine Punishment!

"You still don't know what your second path is?" Liu Mengxian asked strangely.

In the previous confrontation, Yan Ziming's performance was only average. Her attack power was much stronger than before, but this was clearly not in line with her current achievements.

In Liu Mengxian's perception, Yan Ziming had not changed in any essential way except that he had become a thunder spirit.

After all, it's already a Thunder Spirit with 100% elemental affinity. And under those extreme conditions of being resurrected after death, even the most foolish person should have figured something out.

Moreover, Yan Ziming is not stupid; on the contrary, she is quite intelligent, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten to where she is today.

Faced with Liu Mengxian's question, Yan Ziming scratched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"I feel... something's not right. I'm sure, I'm sure I've found a second path, but... ha... you probably don't know what I was like back then, Xian'er. I was in a daze. The path had already been formed, but my current situation is... emm... I haven't taken it yet. Yes, I haven't taken it yet!"

The vivid metaphor immediately illuminated the confusion of both Yan Ziming and Liu Mengxian.

Once you know the reason, the problem is much easier to solve; a little guidance is all it takes.

Liu Mengxian pulled Yan Ziming over to sit down with her on the ground, and the two leaned on each other.

Yan Ziming's two beautiful legs, clad in black stockings, were curled up and placed on the ground. Liu Mengxian was in a similar position, with her hands resting on Yan Ziming's legs. The two of them exuded a delicate and refined charm.

The elementalization had already been touched by Yan Zimo, and the gentle breeze carrying the heat passed by, while flames soared into the sky, yet it did not affect the atmosphere in the slightest.

Looking at Liu Mengxian's profile, illuminated by the bright flame, it possessed a profound and unique beauty unlike her usual appearance.

This is a sense of reality, no longer the illusion, the elusive, intangible bubble.

She... Fairy, is right here, right beside me...

You can see it, hear it, and touch it; the distance suddenly feels much closer.

Yan Ziming noticed that Liu Mengxian's eyelashes were extremely long, fluttering gently with her breathing, like trembling butterfly wings, making her feel a ticklish sensation in her heart.

"Tell me the details of what happened back then," Liu Mengxian called Yan Ziming back to his senses.

"Um... back then, I was trapped by Bai Ye... ah, you can think of it as a very sturdy cage. I was trapped by that thing, and I couldn't open it no matter how hard I tried. Then... cough cough, I just acted impulsively and did some crazy things..."

Liu Mengxian smiled calmly: "How crazy?"

"Ha...you've just killed yourself."

"........."

Liu Mengxian remained silent, yet her aura grew increasingly profound.

"The last thing I remember is that I kept thinking about having a stronger attack, and then my mind went blank from there."

"What you've been longing for... you've found it."

"Huh?" Yan Ziming was slightly taken aback.

When one is hovering between life and death, just one step away from taking one's last breath, the thing that one still yearns for in that situation is the clearest goal.

Yan Ziming vaguely remembered that Mo Sheng had said this to her. Could this be her second option?

A stronger attack?

"I have a general idea of ​​your problem. Let me show you with my actions."

Liu Mengxian stood up slowly and gracefully, and as if they had planned it, thousands of figures gradually emerged from around her.

They varied in size and densely surrounded Yan Ziming and Liu Mengxian, their fierce glints almost tangible.

Such a commotion could be heard from a great distance, let alone in the occupied zone where there are countless mutated species.

And so they came, led by two SS-class beings, arriving with the force of a massive army.

Yan Ziming stared wide-eyed at Liu Mengxian, unblinking, seemingly admiring her demeanor or her personality.

A ray of light emerged from the small hand, and a longsword composed of blazing lightning and brilliant light suddenly took shape.

Her body gradually became translucent and beautiful, allowing one to see the scenery that should have been obscured through her body.

Yan Ziming actually developed a desire to merge into her body.

Is this... a mutual resonance between two Thunder Spirits?

Although Liu Mengxian is no longer Lei Ling, she once was, and she will still leave some profound influence.

This influence made her very close to Liu Mengxian, a closeness that was different from kinship, love, or friendship.

Just like Lei Yuansu and Mo Xin are close to themselves.

Perhaps... Mo Xin's intimacy is a little different.

"Raikiri." Liu Mengxian suddenly uttered two words, completely drawing Yan Ziming's attention.

Thousands of thunderbolts followed her will, obeyed her orders, and responded to her calls, their myriad threads coalescing into a ray of light that returned to the blade of that sword.

At a single command, heaven and earth responded, carrying with them the will that has endured for millennia.

With a flash of sword light, a blue-purple line of fire appeared in the distance, advancing like a lit fuse, encircling all the mutated species within it.

split into two.

Whether living or non-living, everything was rapidly carbonized and pulverized at an extremely terrifying speed, turning into a handful of black powder that drifted away with the wind, leaving no trace of its existence.

sizzle-

Everything around us began to emit a faint, deafening hum of electricity.

Yan Ziming's thoughts seemed to have been cleaved open by the sword light, and a burst of inspiration was about to emerge, replacing everything in her mind.

"That fairy, that sword of yours just now...."

Yan Ziming was very curious about the sword that Liu Mengxian had just taken out. Wow... its power was no less than that of the Thunder Cutter.

Especially just now, Liu Mengxian demonstrated it to her, which was the pinnacle of energy control, with not a single bit of energy leaking out. Her skills and techniques were far superior to hers.

She suddenly realized why the Raiche was a knife, and not a weapon like a whip, spear, or hook.

As a divine object that once accompanied Liu Mengxian, her appearance was naturally created in accordance with Liu Mengxian's habits.

It is very likely that Liu Mengxian's most proficient weapon is a 'cold' weapon such as a knife or sword.

"Don't forget your purpose; you should understand that by now."

Liu Mengxian gently tapped Yan Ziming's forehead with the hilt of her sword, and the sound of her voice remained calm and serene.

"......"

Yan Ziming sat cross-legged, sullenly, resting his chin on one hand, lost in thought.

what is it then?

In the end, isn't making Lei Ling a success also a way of indirectly increasing one's own attack power?

Then focus your thoughts in this direction, and you're bound to come up with something.

Why did Liu Mengxian deliberately display overwhelming power in her elemental state?

My path... is related to my thoughts at the time... offensive power... and elementalization... Thunder Spirit... Heaven...

Lei Ling... Lei Ling... What does Lei Ling itself represent?

Heaven?

Thunder, as a typical example of divine punishment in ancient times, punishes all things that go against the will of Heaven, and can be said to be a manifestation of the will of Heaven.

So, what kind of significance does Lei Ling, whose birthday is celebrated even by the heavens, represent?

Lightning itself is a manifestation of this, so the Thunder Spirit... is probably what is called "the agent of the will of Heaven"... right?

The answer has surfaced.

— Elementalization.

A peculiar energy emanated from her. Like a sprout beginning to grow wildly, it instantly became a sapling, growing tender leaves and developing numerous veins.

My second path is—

Curse!

Chapter 5: I'm Right Here (Highly Sweet, Enter at Your Own Risk)

The aura emanating from Yan Ziming was terrifying, like the might of heaven descending. His body shone with brilliant blue and purple light, dark clouds filled the sky, obscuring the moon, lightning crackled, and his light shone in all directions, causing birds and beasts to scatter in panic.

It was as if the heavens had descended upon the world, and all evils retreated.
