Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1199: A Flock of Epileptics

Qin Yi looked at the small, shriveled old man and sneered, "Am I the one scheming against everyone, or is it that I don't want everyone to get the Heavenly Thunder Fruit? Think about it, right now you're the butcher, and I'm the fish meat, unable to escape from the palm of your hands. How could I possibly scheme against any of you?"

But this monkey keeps preventing me from getting the Heavenly Thunder Fruit for everyone. I think he wants to keep the Heavenly Thunder Fruit for himself. After all, there are only three Heavenly Thunder Fruits, and there are so many of you that you can barely share them. His heart deserves to be killed."

Everyone turned to look at the small, shriveled old man, their eyes flickering with doubt.

The small, shriveled old man glared at Qin Yi venomously and said viciously, "Don't believe his nonsense. He's trying to sow discord."

Qin Yi shook his head, "I'm figuring out a way to help everyone get the Heavenly Thunder Fruit; how am I sowing discord? Instead, you're not trying anything and keep blocking me from trying. Isn't that because you want to keep the Heavenly Thunder Fruit for yourself?"

"You're talking nonsense; when did I want to keep the Heavenly Thunder Fruit for myself?"

"If you don't, why not try my method? It might just work. You refusing to try shows you have something to hide."

"Indeed, I think Qin Yi's method is worth a try," said Zhu Lao Liu. With his horizontal training and earth attribute cultivation technique, his defensive power was much stronger than others, allowing him to endure more. If anything went wrong, his physical strength would keep him unharmed.

Despite Zhu Lao Liu's rough appearance, he had his own calculations.

His suggestion unintentionally aided Qin Yi. Because once he spoke, everyone subconsciously nodded.

The allure of the Heavenly Thunder Fruit was simply too great. The temptation had muddled everyone's minds, and they had lost the ability to judge.

"Alright, since everyone's willing to try, I'll take the lead. Who will be second?" Qin Yi reached out his hand.

Everyone exchanged glances because whoever was second would follow Qin Yi into the Thunder Zone.

Seeing this, Qin Yi smiled slightly and looked at the small, shriveled old man. "How about you go second?"

"Why me?"

"Because no one trusts you," Qin Yi said indifferently.

The small, shriveled old man instinctively glanced around and saw that, indeed, as Qin Yi said, everyone's gaze was filled with suspicion.

"You old thief, be the second, and I'll be the third to protect you," Zhu Lao Liu grinned.

The small, shriveled old man's face turned as black as ink, cursing inwardly. You, Zhu Lao Liu, are fearless with your horizontal training, but why drag me along?

"Don't worry, the thunder from the Thunder Zone will spread from us to everyone; that way we all exert effort and bear a portion each, making the thunder not so frightening," Qin Yi said with a smile.

The small, shriveled old man watched Qin Yi's smile, a chill rising in his heart, ready to refuse outright.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Lao Liu stepped forward and grabbed him, whispering in his ear, "Don't be afraid, old thief! If Qin Yi gets the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, we're the closest to him. We can snatch and consume it immediately, boosting our cultivation before anyone else reacts. At that point, who can be our match? And with only three Heavenly Thunder Fruits, how do we divide them? It's best to act first."

The small, shriveled old man hesitated, contemplating Zhu Lao Liu's words, eventually nodding lightly. "Alright, I'll trust you! Your physical strength is strong; if we truly encounter danger, you must help me."

"Naturally, you're an old acquaintance among these people. Who else would I help but you?"

Despite their quiet voices, Qin Yi's Divine Thought expanded and heard their conversation word for word. He was surprised, casting a glance at Zhu Lao Liu. This guy seemed rough but was actually meticulous, certainly more cunning than the shriveled old man.

It's true; one should not judge by appearances. Zhu Lao Liu had taught him a lesson.

"Let's go!" Qin Yi reached out his hand.

The small, shriveled old man hesitated for a moment before grabbing Qin Yi's hand. "I'll keep a close eye on you. If you make any move, I'll kill you instantly."

Qin Yi smiled without responding.

Zhu Lao Liu grabbed the small, shriveled old man with one hand, extending the other. "Who's next? Hurry up; if you want the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, don't dawdle."

"I'll do it," said a powerfully cultivated individual in the Unification Realm, stepping forward to grab Zhu Lao Liu's hand.

They started a hand-holding game.

Before long, dozens of people were holding hands in a long line.

Yun Qinglian's mouth twitched slightly, not knowing why. Seeing this group of men hand in hand, she thought it was odd and had an urge to laugh.

Qin Yi said, "Is everyone ready? I'm going to enter the Thunder Zone."

Everyone nodded unconsciously, not knowing when they started heedlessly listening to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi gradually approached the Thunder Zone.

As he got within ten meters, everyone couldn't help but become tense.

"Hold tight, everyone. If anyone messes up now, don't blame me for being harsh," Zhu Lao Liu shouted. Losing one person means increased thunder power for the others, and not being able to withstand it could result in death.

Purple Light enveloped Qin Yi, his lips curling slightly, and he stepped into the Thunder Zone.

"Zzz... crackle..."

Thunderous lightning descended like terrifying silver pythons, striking Qin Yi fiercely, nearly engulfing him.

Yun Qinglian watched as the lightning engulfed Qin Yi, everyone's hair standing on end, bodies convulsing, mouths releasing terrifying screams.

"Ah... Ah..."

Horrifying screams echoed one after another. Everyone screamed in pain, bodies shaking like sieves, electric currents running rampant, and smoke starting to billow from their bodies.

Yun Qinglian covered her mouth in terror as several people's hair caught fire directly.

Can you imagine dozens of people hand in hand, convulsing like they had epilepsy, emitting agonizing screams, and smoking all over?

They desperately tried to let go of the person in front of them but found their hands seemed fused together, unable to escape, only painfully enduring the terrifying power of thunder ravaging their bodies, nearly tearing them apart.

No one noticed a fine purple thread binding everyone's hands tightly together.

At first, everyone was only violently convulsing, smoking all over, electric currents rampaging... Then clothes and hair started catching fire... Finally, some couldn't stand anymore; their skin charred, twitching on the ground, the air thick with the smell of burnt flesh.

The raging thunder didn't only harm the body's surface; most had their organs charred by thunder's power. If not for their profound cultivation barely protecting their heart arteries, they'd have reported to Hell long ago.
