Ji Fengyan thought she was dead.
But…
Why was it that even though I am dead, I still hear a burst of cries?
The cries slowly became louder and Ji Fengyan instinctively wanted to open her eyes to see who the person mourning her death was. But when she opened her eyes…
She saw blue cloudy skies and a tear-stained masculine face.
A burly man was bawling his heart out and looked very emotional. In that split second when Ji Fengyan thought his mucus and tears were about to drip onto her face, she raised her hands out of reflex.
Smack!
"Mm-miss…" the burly man, who was breathless from crying, looked at Ji Fengyan astonishingly, after she gave him a slap.
Ji Fengyan's eyes widened as she remained stunned. When her hand was in contact with his face just now, the sensation felt so realistic.
"I am still alive?" Ji Fengyan mumbled to herself, feeling confused.
"Miss! I'm glad you are fine! Don't give me a scare!" That burly man sobbed.
Ji Fengyan sat up suddenly. There was a heartbreaking pain all over her body, but she did not feel the slightest bit of sadness; instead she was ecstatic!
It was really painful, but she could feel pain?
She was not dead?!
She was still alive!
She had unexpectedly survived the lightning strike!
"Hahaha… Hahaha…" the joy from surviving her death caused Ji Fengyan to laugh uncontrollably. However, her continuous laughter dumbfounded the burly man beside her.
A few men donned with armoured vests next to the burly man were also dazed. They subconsciously poked the man and said, "Chief, did Miss injure her head?"
That burly man was also taken aback, but he instinctively defended Ji Fengyan, "Don't spout nonsense!"
Even though he said that, the same thoughts also sprouted uncontrollably in his head.
Ji Fengyan was not bothered by these men's thoughts. Knowing that she was still alive, she was over the moon. However, before she could be happy about her escape from death, many memories that did not belong to her flooded her mind suddenly.
It belonged to a weak, skinny, and cowardly girl who lived in a big family. After her father's death, she inherited all his treasures and received the Emperor's decree to be a city lord when she was 14 years old.
While travelling to the city, she was unfortunately met with an ambush. The bodyguard left by her father risked his life to protect her, but the young girl still sustained severe injuries from the ambush and died.
Who knew that when she was revived… She was replaced with Ji Fengyan's soul.
"Reincarnation using a corpse?" Ji Fengyan's eyes widened slightly.
Was this considered a repayment after the Heavenly Dao tricked her?
Just when Ji Fengyan was still thinking about the miracle of life, a sudden bolt of lightning struck from the sky. With a loud boom of thunder, it landed just one step in front of Ji Fengyan, leaving the ground with a burnt mark.
"Oh no! They are trying to wipe us all out, you guys, bring Miss away right now!" The burly man took the sword in his hands and charged forward after seeing the lightning flashing one after another.
On a hill-slope opposite to them, a band of men, clad in long black robes, was chanting an incantation difficult to understand, while waving wooden sticks in midair. Following each chant, flashes of lightning were summoned from the skies. The densely packed lightning struck the ground like raindrops pelting down, leaving a trail of smoking black imprints.
Upon the burly man's commands, the bodyguards disregarded their injuries and used their feeble bodies to surround Ji Fengyan, forming a human barricade to protect her against the lightning strikes.
Ji Fengyan stood between them and stared blankly at the deep hole that was just one step away, while the lightning continued to strike and flash brightly in the darkness.
She lifted her head, and her eyes widened unknowingly. Looking at the hill-slope opposite, she saw those men in black robes continuously waving wooden sticks, using them as their magic staff, causing lightning to descend from the sky.
"Miss, leave quickly! I'm afraid that we cannot hold on for much longer," the burly man said, gasping for his breath. In the meantime, though the sword was as thick as half a finger, it cracked under the lightning attack.
"Ha?" suddenly a short laughter came from behind.
The burly man, feeling surprised, turned his head, yet he only saw Ji Fengyan, who was surrounded by his men, laughing unexpectedly. Ji Fengyan fought her way through the bodyguards and charged straight towards where the lightning had landed, with her eyes lit with a blaze.
"Miss?"
"You want to hurt me? And you even dared to strike me with lightning? I have survived 99 lightning strikes, and now you want to hit me with lightning! You think that only you bastards have lightning?!" Ji Fengyan raged after seeing the lightning all around her.
She recalled all those years she had prepared herself, finally she had survived 98 lightning strikes with much difficulty, yet she was forcibly driven out of her body by the 99th strike. Consequently, even before she had gotten used to this body, someone else was trying to strike her with lightning again?
Did they think that she had gotten used to being struck by lightning ever since she was a child?1
"Did you really think that I could be hit by lightning? You just wait and see!" Ji Fengyan immediately tore off a piece of cloth from her shirt and bit her fingertip as the burly man gasped. Using her fresh blood, she drew a lengthy but strange illustration on the cloth.
On her last stroke, Ji Fengyan turned and grabbed the burly man's sword. She threw the cloth with her blood into the sky and the sword tip cut the surface of the cloth.
With her clear voice, Ji Fengyan shouted, "Five-Blow-Thunderstruck!"
Following her voice, the cloth that was cut by the sword tip suddenly burst into flames, which then gradually dispersed in the air.
The burly man who had his sword snatched from him was stunned. He dumbfoundedly looked at his skinny and petite Miss, who was carrying the sword that was even taller than her. Yet all he could think of were the foreign words he had heard from her.
What was Five-Blow-Thunderstruck?
Their Miss hadn't damaged her head, right?
Just when the burly man was still wondering whether Ji Fengyan became slow-witted because of the lightning strike, dark clouds loomed in the equally dark sky, while the lightning seemed as though they were going to penetrate the clouds and wreck the ground. Yet, the lightning was ineffably engulfed by the dark clouds.
Soon, a loud sound boomed, followed by uncountable bolts of lightning descending from the sky through the clouds, wiping out everything on the hill-slope opposite in an instant.
Within the blink of an eye, almost half of the men who tried to kill them died instead. Even the men who were originally standing at the forefront of the hill did not have time to react and had abruptly been struck by lightning, leaving only charred bodies that fell silently to the ground.
