The atmosphere suddenly became extremely peculiar as everyone stood rooted to the spot in befuddlement, unable to understand why the pillar of lightning would inexplicably attack Meng Zhi.
All the while, lightning was slowly dissipating from An Lin's fingertips.
He had initially planned to manipulate the lightning spirit, but the lightning spirit was imbued with the power of Dao Realm, thereby rendering it immune to his Lightning Manipulation Technique. Hence, he could only settle for manipulating the pillar of lightning it released instead.
Meng Zhi was caught completely off guard and sustained minor injuries from that unexpected attack.
Xu Xiaolan glanced at An Lin with a slight smile on her face before refocusing her gaze on the opponent before her.
