Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

Blinding lightning struck from the dark clouds in the sky, scorching the earth.

The smell of burning spread, emanating a faint sense of oppression.

A tiny arc of electricity exploded gently between Xiu Yi's clothes, sending shivers of numbness through his sleeves.

Xiuyi instinctively shrank back into the depths of the room, wiped off the static electricity from her body, and kept her eyes fixed on Shen Xingzhuo.

"No matter how powerful you are, how can you possibly dodge heavenly lightning?"

His voice wasn't loud, but the ambiguous expression on his face completely betrayed him—

He hoped that Shen Xingzhuo would die under the punishment of lightning.

What is he thinking? Is he planning to harm the chosen one of Tianxia Kingdom?

[Having ever liked this person is truly the darkest chapter in my life. Shen Xingzhuo at least saved him and gave him a way out, and he actually…]

What exactly are the criteria for selecting the chosen ones in the ghost story? Character, ability, emotional intelligence—let's say they have at least one of these qualities.

[Hmm...actually, I think the exclamation was chosen in reverse? Otherwise, would the Weird want us to be doing well?]

[Holy crap! That makes sense! But why are the standards in Tianxia Kingdom different from ours?]

[This is chilling to think about. Does this mean Shen Xingzhuo's true colors haven't been revealed yet?]

The people of the beautiful country indulged in speculation under the sky, but the tone gradually shifted towards conspiracy theories.

A large portion of people's thinking has been guided—

They believe that everything Shen Xingzhuo is showing on the sky is an ultimate performance.

The real her is completely different from what they see; she might even be a ruthless killer.

Otherwise, as a citizen of Tianxia Kingdom, which has a "no-kill order" even in the superdimensional era, how could she kill that chosen one Liu Jin without even blinking an eye?

[You guys are even getting into mystery writing now? Why don't you go and contribute to the country through ghost stories? Is it that you don't want to?]

After seeing the extraterrestrial inferences, the citizens of Tianxia Kingdom killed the game with a single sentence.

Shen Xingzhuo, at the center of the storm of controversy, was indeed standing at the eye of the storm.

Lightning was gathering in the sky, ready to strike.

Shen Xingzhuo took out a pen from her sleeve and used one hand to twist her wind-blown hair into a very simple bun on top of her head.

She crouched down, and at the last second of the countdown, she sprang up with all her might.

"The Nine Heavens respond to the Origin, and thunder commands. Raise the flags and summon immediately, without delay."

A fierce glint flashed in her eyes as she continuously formed hand seals, finally settling on the "array" character of the Nine True Words.

"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

The Hetian jade brush automatically spun out from the universe hidden in her sleeve.

One person, one brush, two opposing forces, finding tranquility in a corner amidst the thunderous roar.

"go!"

At Shen Xingzhuo's command, the jade pen disappeared into the lightning.

A smile appeared on her face.

Ghost tales really do love to shoot themselves in the foot.

She is a Celestial Master, and a proper Celestial Master who has received the Celestial Master's ordination.

His daily duty is to wield thunder and lightning and act on behalf of Heaven.

How could they possibly fear this illegitimate and unjust thunder?

Moreover, she was worried that most humans in the interstellar era lived in space bases, where the natural conditions for lightning to form were no longer available.

Unexpectedly, it was delivered to her so easily.

"Whether it succeeds or not depends on this one move."

The mark on Shen Xingzhuo's hand changed again, so fast that only afterimages remained.

She guided the falling lightning bolts with her Qi, and without exception, they all landed on the jade pen.

As long as the pen body doesn't break, this magical artifact is considered complete.
