After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

"Little sister, watch out!"

"Auntie, I'll protect you!"

Seeing that Master Wu was about to attack Bu Mingyan without warning, He Chen, Bu Zhan, and Ma Benlei stepped in front of her to block her.

"Boom!"

After the huge commotion, the three Foundation Establishment Grandmasters were all sent flying backward, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths.

"Hahaha......"

Upon seeing this, Hong Qian could no longer help but burst into laughter.

The power of the Nine Heavens Lightning Formation is even more terrifying than Master Wu said. We're in luck this time!

The other members of the Martial Alliance who saw He Chen and his two companions being cleaved away immediately turned pale and showed fear on their faces.

The lightning within the great formation was so intense that even the three vice presidents couldn't withstand it, let alone them.

Just then, Hong Qian spoke up, "I'll ask you one more time: who agrees and who opposes me becoming the president of the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Alliance?"

This time, everyone fell silent.

They hated Hong Qian to the core, but the situation was beyond their control; their lives were now entirely in his hands.

Soon, some people couldn't withstand the pressure and chose to take sides.

"Patriarch Hong, our Jia family supports you as the leader of the Martial Alliance. From now on, we're all on the same side, so please don't make a move."

"My Liu family also supports the Hong family head as chairman."

......

In no time, under the immense threat of death, nearly half of the people present chose to join Hong Qian, including three Foundation Establishment elders.

They were not Hong Qian's direct subordinates, and their defection would certainly not earn them any important positions. They might even face suppression from the Hong family. But in order to survive, they had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

However, if one wants to gain Hong Qian's complete trust, there is a way: simply take this opportunity to kill Bu Mingyan and present him as a pledge of loyalty.

Now that all three of Bu Mingyan's main players have been seriously injured by lightning, this is an excellent opportunity to take action against Bu Mingyan.

Thinking about this, some people's expressions changed.

Hong Qian had been observing the expressions of these people. Upon seeing this, he smiled slightly, a hint of allure in his eyes.

"Whoever can kill Bu Mingyan and the idiot beside her right now will be made vice president, second only to me!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of some people who had been itching to act instantly hardened.

"I'm sorry, Chairman Bu, I didn't want to kill you, but I was forced by circumstances!"

One of the three Foundation Establishment elders who had pledged allegiance to Hong Qian slowly walked up to the two men, his expression indifferent.

"I was forced into it."

Count me in.

Soon, five Foundation Establishment experts stood against Bu Mingyan. Their statement represented not only themselves but also the powerful forces behind them.

With them taking the lead, other smaller families and forces also switched sides.

"Elder Jin, I have always treated you well, how could you do this to me?"

Bu Mingyan looked incredulous. Many of these people were people she had prepared for her to promote, but they had betrayed her at the crucial moment.

There were also some people who didn't even know her well, but at this moment they chose to stand by her side.

This crisis was like a mirror, revealing all the good and evil, the treacherous and the wicked within the Martial Alliance.

However, she discovered it too late; the power of the Nine Heavens Lightning Array was simply despair-inducing.

"Achen, don't worry about me. With your strength, you can definitely escape."

Hearing her words, Ye Chen stood still, but a slight smile appeared on his lips as he muttered to himself, "It seems that those who were going to jump out have already done so. It's time to close the net."

His voice was so low that even Bu Mingyan, who was standing right next to him, thought she had misheard him. Her beautiful eyes widened involuntarily, and a look of shock appeared on her face.

Could it be that Ye Chen is preparing to withstand the Nine Heavens Lightning Formation head-on?

Even if he were a Golden Core expert, he might not be able to do it, right?

"Don't worry, trust your husband."

Ye Chen leaned close to her ear and whispered something, while his large hand subtly pinched her shapely buttocks.

Bu Mingyan's pretty face immediately turned bright red. She nervously looked around, thankfully no one saw her, otherwise she would have been mortified.

At the same time, she was also very curious about how Ye Chen would break the deadlock.

If he were to reveal his identity as a Golden Core Realm expert, not only would he be exposed, but he might also provoke Hong Qian and Daoist Wu into a desperate act, indiscriminately attacking everyone present, which would be disastrous.

Amid her questioning gaze, Ye Chen stepped forward.

Instead of making a move, he put one hand on his hip and pointed the other at Hong Qian and Elder Jin and the others who had chosen to attack them, and began to curse loudly.

"You bunch of bad people, bullying me and Sister Mingyan, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? I'll strike you all to death with lightning!" As he spoke, he imitated Master Wu's way of summoning lightning, waving his arms at the group of people.

Upon seeing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into wild laughter.

Hong Qian shook his head while laughing, "It seems I was too cautious. In your current stupid state, even if you live, you have no chance of reviving the Ye family. The talk about occasionally regaining consciousness and fully recovering within two years is just a smokescreen put out by the Ye family."

At this point, his face turned cold. "But even if you're a fool, you must die today!"

Then he shouted at Elder Jin and the others, "What are you waiting for? Kill this idiot first, then take down Bu Mingyan and cripple her martial arts cultivation."

"Don't even think about it!"

"If you want to mess with your aunt, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

Bu Zhan, Ma Benlei, and He Chen forcibly suppressed their internal injuries and once again protected Bu Mingyan and Ye Chen.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Elder Jin snorted coldly and suddenly launched an attack.

"Boom boom boom!"

Bu Zhan and Ma Benlei were both in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, and He Chen, although in the middle stages of Foundation Establishment, was injured at the moment. The three of them combined were no match for Elder Jin.

In less than two minutes, each of them was struck by a palm, and they were sent flying backward, coughing up blood again.

"Heh heh, just die now."

Elder Jin, full of vigor, set his sights on Ye Chen beside Bu Mingyan and transformed into a whirlwind, rushing towards him.

Bu Mingyan tensed up instantly, ready to fight to the death.

But just then, Ye Chen suddenly waved his hand and shouted, "I'll strike you dead with lightning!"

"What a pathetic fool. Even I, a grandmaster, am reluctant to kill you." Elder Jin shook his head and sighed upon seeing this, but his movements did not slow down at all.

As for Ye Chen's behavior, it was nothing more than the foolish act of a idiot, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

But he didn't notice the expressions on the faces of the people behind him, and at that moment a look of fear appeared on their faces.

As everyone saw, with Ye Chen's wave of his hand, a thick arc of electricity rapidly formed in the air behind Elder Jin, and then struck him from behind at an even faster speed.

"Boy, go to hell! Don't blame me when you get to the underworld!" Elder Jin leaped high and slapped Ye Chen's crown.

However, in the next instant, before his palm could fall, a thick arc of electricity struck him first from behind.

Elder Jin flew out sideways, his body billowing black smoke. Everyone present almost popped their eyes out. This idiot really can command the lightning in the Nine Heavens Lightning Formation!
