Chapter 68 The Leader of Quanxing Sect
Then, the two looked at each other and read the same message in each other's eyes.
We can't keep fighting!
The two people on stage were in a state that had far exceeded the scope of a competition!
Zhang Jingqing, his beard and hair bristling, roared angrily at the stage.
"This is utter nonsense!"
Zuo Ruotong also frowned.
"Both of them are already operating at their maximum capacity. In order to maintain the lightning at its strongest, their physical bodies are extremely weak. If the lightning were to strike either of them, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Zhang Jingqing nodded.
He could certainly tell that both of them had reached their limits.
Since it's the limit, there's no way to hold back, and the consequences of this so-called competition are no longer controllable.
Get on stage and stop them!
The thought crossed their minds simultaneously, and then they vanished from their seats in a flash.
Zuo Ruotong landed on one side of the stage, while Zhang Jingqing landed on the other side.
The lightning was so intense that it made their white hair appear somewhat blue.
Zuo Ruotong looked at Li Cunzhen.
He had his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, veins bulging on his forehead, and his temples throbbing.
Zhang Jingqing's situation wasn't much better.
He saw that Zhang Zhiwei's face had lost its color, his lips were blue, and golden light was faintly emanating from his seven orifices, which was a sign that the Golden Light Curse was about to lose control.
The Five Thunder Orthodox Method emphasizes force and ferocity, but if force and ferocity are taken too far, it will cause self-harm.
Seeing that his apprentice had reached this point.
Without further hesitation, the two spoke in unison.
"Preserve the truth!"
"You beast!"
At the same time, they strode towards their respective disciples, attempting to interrupt them.
But the next moment!
boom!
The two bolts of lightning suddenly dissipated at the same time!
Like a building block with the bottom piece removed, the lightning lost its support and began to disintegrate from the center.
The white arc of electricity escaped in all directions, turning into tiny sparks in mid-air before quickly extinguishing.
In the blink of an eye, the two earth-shattering bolts of lightning on the stage vanished completely.
All that remained were charred remains, broken bricks, and a stage frame that had been scorched red by the intense heat.
Zuo Ruotong and Zhang Jingqing were both taken aback.
After a moment of silence, the two looked at their respective disciples again.
Li Cunzhen remained in the same posture, but the reverse regeneration state had ended, revealing a normal human skin color.
He closed his eyes, bent his legs slightly, and then his body slumped forward.
Zuo Ruotong's expression changed, and she flashed to appear beside Li Cunzhen.
He crouched down, placed his hand on Li Cunzhen's wrist, and channeled a wisp of true energy into it to examine his disciple's internal condition.
The coma was caused by the depletion of vital energy and excessive consumption of spiritual power.
There were also traces of the sudden removal of the backlash from the lightning spell.
It seems that Li Cunzhen still retained a shred of rationality, and at the last moment he took the initiative to abandon Thunder.
No wonder the lightning pillar disintegrated instead of exploding in the end.
Zuo Ruotong deduced this information, her expression softened slightly, she took out a pill from her sleeve and put it into Li Cunzhen's mouth, then helped him up and lean him against her.
On the other side of the stage.
Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Zhiwei.
Zhang Zhiwei's consciousness was interrupted the moment the lightning dissipated. He fell forward and landed face down on the ground with a thud.
After a long while, his fingers twitched slightly, but quickly returned to stillness.
The golden light faded, revealing his pale, paper-white face.
Zhang Jingqing walked to his side, bent down and turned the disciple over, placed her hand on Zhang Zhiwei's forehead, and used her powerful divine sense to probe the disciple's upper dantian.
A moment later, Zhang Jingqing withdrew her hand, her expression slightly better.
His spiritual energy was depleted, his meridians were disordered, and he had to actively dispel the backlash from the Crimson Palace Thunder.
Fortunately, it did not cause any fundamental damage.
When the lightning on the stage dissipated, the audience below had not yet reacted.
It wasn't until Zuo Ruotong helped Li Cunzhen up and Zhang Jingqing turned Zhang Zhiwei over that the audience gradually began to make noise.
"What's wrong?"
"Is it over? Who won?"
Why aren't they moving?
Some people stood on tiptoe to peer onto the stage, trying to see what was happening.
The first to react were Li Muxuan and Lu Jin.
They were always in the very front row, closest to the stage, and had the clearest view.
"elder brother!"
"Senior brother!"
The two shouted at the same time, and then leaped onto the stage.
Rushing to Zuo Ruotong's side, she hurriedly asked, "Master, what happened to him?"
Zuo Ruotong glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "He's unconscious, but he's alright."
Li Muxuan and Lu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
the other side.
Lu Xuan jumped onto the stage
He ran to Zhang Zhiwei, squatted down next to Zhang Jingqing, and looked up at the Old Celestial Master.
"Celestial Master, please instruct your esteemed disciple..."
Zhang Jingqing shook her head, indicating that Zhang Zhiwei was alright.
"That beast, he got carried away with the fight and didn't know his own strength, he's ruined himself like this."
At this moment, those in the audience finally saw clearly what was happening on stage.
"Both of them have collapsed?"
"What's going on? A draw?!"
"No, no, I think the fight isn't over yet; neither of them has made a move."
Discussions arose one after another, but most people were terrified.
"Forget about the competition! I think Zhang Zhiwei and Li Cunzhen are injured!"
"Looks like they've gotten carried away. Hopefully nothing serious happens!"
"With the Celestial Master and the Left Sect Leader present, along with people from Jishetang, there shouldn't be any problems!"
Zuo Ruotong picked up Li Cunzhen, and they ended up facing Zhang Jingqing.
The two looked at each other, both with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
They hadn't expected the competition to escalate to this point.
No one won, and no one lost.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Lu Xuan then arranged for people to clean up the mess on the stage.
............
Two hours after the competition ended.
Lu Family Residence, a guest room.
Li Cunzhen woke up on an elmwood bed with simple relief carvings, covered with a blue-printed quilt.
Zuo Ruotong, Lu Jin, and Li Muxuan were guarding him.
In addition, the head of Jiyun Society, Liao Tianlin, Lü Ren, and Zhuge Yunhui were waiting outside the door.
When Li Cunzhen opened his eyes, the eyes of the three people in the room lit up.
Lu Jin and Li Muxuan hurriedly asked.
"woke up?"
"How are you feeling?"
Zuo Ruotong deliberately kept a cold face and spoke indifferently.
"Li Cunzhen, do you know your mistake?"
Lu Jin and Li Muxuan were taken aback upon hearing this.
Li Cunzhen, of course, knew what Zuo Ruotong meant, and quickly lowered his head.
"I know my mistake! This disciple shouldn't have been so arrogant as to use methods I hadn't fully mastered, especially those involving the inherently fierce and dangerous elements of lung metal and heart fire!"
Seeing Li Cunzhen's sincere attitude, and remembering that he had realized his mistake at the last moment, Zuo Ruotong was moved.
His expression relaxed considerably, and he nodded.
"It's good that you know. Focus on recovering."
Afterwards, Zuo Ruotong confirmed that Li Cunzhen had improved considerably, and then called out to the door.
"Everyone, come in, Cunzhen has woken up."
The voice just fell.
The leader of Jiyun Society and three others filed in, bowed to Zuo Ruotong, and then approached Li Cunzhen.
After a period of concern.
Suddenly, the head of the transportation company took out a letter and handed it to Li Cunzhen.
"Elder Li, this was sent by Elder Wang. He said..."
He held the letter in his hand, glancing nervously at the people around him.
"They say that Quanxing has produced a acting leader."
